Hi,
I have just dug up my Son's old HTC Sensation and thought I would try to get it going as I have in the past rooted a couple of Desires and a Legend. Upon boot the phone just sticks at the white screen with green HTC and won't load an OS.
Details in HBOOT are:
***UNLOCKED***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
eMMC-boot
Jan 13 2012,17:33:34
Obviously a root job has been half done and it looks to me like I may need to downgrade the HBOOT so I have tried to find more info here but it all seems out of date (old phone) but my biggest problem is my PC won't pick up the device on the USB so I am stuck.
Any up to date help would be appreciated to unbrick it thanks
Rex.

what recovery do you have?
i suggest to use 4ext recovery
format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartlfash(because you are on S-ON)
flash the custom rom
done
Hi,
Thank you - Recovery at the moment is ClockworkMod v5.8.0.9 but that doesn't seem to do much. Following the link in your sig for 4ext and the forum thread I downloaded the recovery.zip and tried to flash through FASTBOOT but the installation aborts each time.
Cheers.

Hi,
I am not quite sure what you mean, I have said that the PC will not recognise the phone, PC connectivity via USB is not possible. I have installed drivers but to no avail so far.
Thank you.

if you still have the unlock code.bin use it to unlock the bootloader
otherwise go again to htcdev site and unlock it from there
then use this recovery
http://d-h.st/rG7
it is the latest 4ext verison
extract the recovery.img and flash it via fastboot command
about S-OFF have you seen this method?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751187
Over to HTC Dev it is then Thanks for that, I'll keep you up to date and maybe even try the S-OFF via that method after the recovery.img is flashed. Assuming I get that far !!
Thank you again.
OK - Phone unlocked again and 4ext downloaded............ How do I flash an img file? Keep asking for zip. I assume I am now flashing from the PC as recovery on the phone is now just a reset function.
Thanks.

S-ON, and the phone is not rooted.
To my knowledge if you are still s-on you need to flash your boot.img every boot. I'm assuming you have a custom recovery right? If so just follow the steps to installing a custom rom and it might fixed it. If this works get 4ext and flash the rom using its "smart flash" function (that what I think it is called) this way you no longer need to flash the boot.img every boot.
here is a link to a guide for flashing with htc dev unlock.
thank you soooo much flare4000. my phone is up and running again!
No problem, next time pay attention to what you are doing okay? And make sure you make a nandroid, when flashing a rom.
Please help

format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
enable smartflash
flash the rom
see if it works
about the boot.img:
place it in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
open there a command window and do the command

Well I was confused because I thought SDK or adb was a program that you set for a individual device but I set the adbs already for my tf300t so I just used the same fast boot folder I used for my tf300t so I'm guessing all you have to do is look up how to install SDK or adb files for fast boot and install HTC drivers. That should solve your problem or if you did what I did about the tf300t thing then just plug in your device activate fast boot by going into your hboot. Then you open up your adb folder you placed in your c drive and hold shift right click open command there and then take the bootimg and paste it in your same adb folder directly and flash with command flash boot bootimg then it should boot up into your ROM and if you have anymore questions ask me. Also can someone correct me if I'm wrong on the bootimg command.

depending from your hboot version you have gb firmware
so any ics rom won't boot in your device
with your hboot version you have to follow revolutionary.io method to S-OFF
because only with S-OFF you can upgrade your firmware
see here
http://revolutionary.io/
and then for upgrading firmware see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 (here follow the instructions carefully and check md5 sums first before flashing)
after that you can flash any ics rom

I'm having hard time to setting up adb to start.I've downloaded a recovery image.
There's nothing on top of PVT.
After some reading i worry thaat i'll screw it up if i flash the recovery without S-off and unlock bootloader.
I read somewhere that i could download a file from htcdev kernel section and flash but how to flash?i downloaded it.which program i should use to flash the file?
Get a newer RUU and flash. Check the CID and download the correct RUU for your CID.
And stop worrying so much, otherwise you won't fix anything. Flashing with different radio won't do a thing, as well as flashing a different RUU as long as you have goldcard. But since you don't have, just look for the correct RUU.
It seems like its hboot 98, just do the revolutionary ?
Sent from my HTC Desire S CoolDroid v6.0 via XDA Premium
Also a good solution. Just need to move to FASTBOOT screen.
Bluehawk, just go on with www.revolutionary.io , it will root and s-off the device. No need guide link, just open the web, and it will show you the guide, step by step, newb friendly. But remember to choose the right option, imei and sn.
By then, after complete revolutionary, be happy and fastboot flash any recovery image.
Kinda lucky situation, already hboot 98, easy to handle i think. Unless the device soft/hard bricked already.

Hye guys,first of all im amazed to see so many replies/solutions given by u guys.
Alright,i've do tried to s-off using revo but i couldn't get my device detected by revo,sigh.Tried many times but it still BLINKING ON WAITING FOR DEVICE.Tried on another pc,same result.I've installed all the driver and updated my device in device manager.On my phone,If enter vol-|power on hboot/connect usb/my device manager detects as ANDROID BOOTLOADER INTERFACE and when i entered fastboot it detects as MY HTC.I don't know where i'm doing it wrong.Or its some chip fkd up?
Now,i've installed adb/fastboot on my windows7 and adb seems not working but fastboot going good.Here's some info i've got while typing some commands:
Fastboot device - HTC14ctxxxxxx (simply typed it xx,security purpose?idk lol)
CIDNUM - HTC_621
Emmc should be Sandisk
Version-main 1.31.950.2
If possible i really wanted to S-off it so that i could flash custom recovery etc,not much hassle as official i guess.So yeah,revolutionary not detecting my device.Maybe i guess because the phone had not set to debugging etc or so prior it went dead?
So should i download a RUU and flash?which one should i go for with above cid?can i flash with fastboot command?which command should i use to locate a RUU?
Sorry guys,i'm new with android and htc.hope u guys could pardon my noobies.
Revolutionary might be running in ADB mode by default, and that's the reason it's not detecting your phone - you can't boot to the state when ADB is functional, ADB daemon starts running when the kernel is booted already. Since Revolutionary is an executable, it's not possible to manipulate it into starting directly in fastboot.
In that case, I guess, you're left with flashing the RUU.

here's my step to revo, I pull the batt for 5 sec, put it in, and boot into hboot/bootloader . Top option is fastboot, i selected it and it will change to fastboot usb. then plug in usb . and it detect my HTC DS.

My suggestion.
If you don't want to run into any problem try to make goldcard. It is easy. Use google search, and search for android gooldcard how to.
If you have a laptop, or cardreader it'll be a easy step.
Also before you run the RUU boot the device into fastboot. By volume down +poer button.
Don't worry.
I've messed my phone before and fix it without breaking it!
What you shouldn't do is pull out and rapid back in the battery while the phone stays at the white screen.
You can burn out the emmc chip that way.
[email protected] for the link buddy.I'll try it once i've prepared a goldcard,just incase.
[email protected] the midst of making a goldcard.Since i cant make goldcard on my phone,Tried readcid and goldcardhelper downloaded and plug my sd direct to laptop card reader but non working.I'll find someone who own an android phone and make golcard in their phone.
Appreciate you guys!Simply the best guiding forum!
UPDATE:
Got hold of a Samsung Galaxy SII,insert my 2gb unmount erase and did GoldCard Helper.I've got 2 CID as below:
mmc1:aaaa XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
mmc0:0001 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Which one should i use to create goldcard image?
Finally,the phone is up and running good!
I tried to make goldcard but not sure of the cid i should use to create image.
Went on to flash the RUU as per suggested by anaz and the phone came to life!I really appreciate everyone of you for the guide and advise.Thank you guys!

You need to update your firmware, that's your problem. You must do this by running the 3.18 RUU, but you must get s-off first. The Rumrunner s-off method is probably the easiest.

Can you boot into your ROM at all? If so, ensure that USB debugging is enabled.
Do you have the HTC drivers installed on your computer for the phone?

I can get in my rom, i do have debug enabled and installed the htc drivers, i hear the sound when i plug my phone in and it reconizes it when i turn on the storage mode to make it a hard drive, im running win 8 if that matters.
But for some reason it isnt comig up in device manager
Would anyone know as to why ADB isnt seeing my phone?
bump*
With the help of someone I was able to find out what the problem was. I had to install a earlier version of the HTC drivers and use the ADB RegFix driver for windows 8. And the reason why we couldn't get into recovery was because the version of TWRP I installed wouldnt work with the version of my HBoot. So I had to find the version of TWRP so I could then be able to use recovery. I hope this helps someone If they have the same issue sometime.
Current state:
Boots into bootloader
Recovery not working
HBOOT 1.13
Fastboot working
S4 Version.
How can I restore my device? Please help
[SOLVED]
Solution:
I flashed PhilZ CWM Touch recovery in the All-in-One Toolkit and it booted into recovery.
Then I flashed a new rom and performed fastboot flash boot boot.img and my device is now working again!
S-ON btw
What do you mean by "restoring"?
I guess it's not booting anymore!?
Either try to flash a new recovery or
relock phone, download and install the latest RUU.

I tried to flash a new recovery 3 times, it didn't work.
Could you tell me how to relock my phone and what RUU to install?
Thanks!
You can use the All-in-One Toolkit to relock the bootloader
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677
You can also use the above tool to try to install a recovery - maybe you are lucky
Download the RUU for your provider. Get a list here
http://www.androidruu.com/?developer=Ville
Just copy the file to a windows machine, connect to your One S (HTC drivers have to be installed)
and execute the RUU. The phone will be deleted and a stock Rom is installed.
After that you can re-unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and then the Rom you prefer.
Some people say that you don't have to relock the bootloader to install the RUU. Well it never
worked for me, but you can try it first.
Get more information here (no need to s-off the phone)

So unfortunately I can't use the All-In-One Toolkit...
Is there an alternative?
Also, I tried to run several RUU's, but they seem to be uncompatible with my device.
I'm European and the device is simlock-free.
This is the device info:
Tampered
Unlocked
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.13.0000
RADIO-0.16.31501S.17_2
OpenDSP-v25.1.0.32.0405
eMMC-boot
Apr 20 2012, 15:14:18
Any ideas of what RUU I should pick?
Thank you very much!
I use the following RUU
RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_Radio_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301814_signed_2_4.exe
which you can find in the above link. It's the latest official HTC One S rom.
PS: I PM'd you ...

Back to Stock Tmo
Got a One s off ebay after the wife dropped hers. It cam with Cyangenmod on it and the wife is having issues.
As I did not put cyan on it, not sure how to get it off and put Tmo Stock sense back on it.
I looked at the Ruu's and there are several Tmo ones listed, any idea which one I would need?
And..... not to be an idiot...... but maybe step by step instructions on how to do it?

This should be the ruu to run it you will need to flash stock recovery and lock boot loader then put it in fast boot mode from the boot loader then run the tool

Hey thanks for the reply, its s-on,
But im not sure on the CID how do i find this?
Just flashed the recovery and the SD card mounts again , however USB-OTG still wont mount.
I also tried pushing a rom through adb but i recieved a protocol failure with no error code.

Ok cool first to check cid easiest way boot into bootloader it shows there! you will struggle to get an RUU to match I never found one (i'm on orange) best way is to get superCid & gain s-off! check out facepalm in development thread!
Now you've sorted the sd issue flash a custom recovery I recommend this one! http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/ville/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-ville.img

None of the info says CID so ill just say it all.

Already flashed that recovery the moment i'd fixed the SD card hehe,
What do I get from being S-Off? Is it so I can edit my CID to a different region?
At the moment I still cant get a rom on it as adb commands get protocol failures, both normal and sideload, and when I try to copy it onto the SD card from my PC it disconnects after about 2 seconds of copying.
Is there a way I can flash a rom through fastboot?

ok to read cid put your phone into bootloader/fastbbot connect pc & open cmd in your fastboot folder then type fastboot oem readcid
If your having adb probs aswell try updating your htc usb drivers, that might cure this issue!

F:\adb>adb push villestock.zip /sdcard/villestock.zip

F:\adb>adb devices
List of devices attached

F:\adb>adb shell

su
/sbin/sh: su: not found

Is this bricked?
Or is it recoverable at all.

I've been using an Xp machine for the whole process.
Win 8 is really undeveloped for drivers.

Not sure what drivers it was, but I fresh installed everything on a different Xp machine and was able to get the Rom onto the SD-card.
Atleast I think thats what the issue was, I was head bashing for a while hehe.
I think another issue was that I didnt have superuser installed but I got a 4,1 rom onto it and then upgraded to 4.3,
KitKat will get flashed hopefully when cyanogen becomes a bit more stable, crashes and reboots for me a few seconds after loading the home screen.
Thanks for your help and pointing me in the right direction.
