Hi Guys,
Finally after playing with a lot of roms I decided to go back to stock. I was flashing back to stock using the RUU exe from HTC and something went wrong. Phone is now stuck in RUU mode whenever you turn on. Have access to fastboot but when I try to boot recovery etc getting remote not allowed. Any suggestions other then paying $450 aus for new board?
Thanks
well if you got fastboot then you got hboot. which is good. i am pretty sure you can run a stock .nbh and get reverted allllll the way back to total stock just like removing root. im not to sure but look into those options. if you can do that then you should be able to reroot and not have a $450 shinny brick. i bet someone will respond with a better answer after this is posted lol!
I don't know if this is a standard solution, however I had the same problem for the past few day, and I tried everything and as I am updating from HTC RUU I held the action ( track ball ) button pressed and it did the upgrading . . . I'm not going to try again, but that is what happened.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Andre
So I've really gotten myself into a pickle I suppose. I bought this phone off a guy, and what do I do I tinker with it. Well he just so happens to have an updated hboot file sitting on the sd card that I updated. Long story short I somehow managed to get the phone rooted, but S-ON yet the recovery mode was working. I needed to change it from clockwork to RA which it seems it didn't like. So I attempted to just unroot the device and reroot it well. Now I'm stick because the 2.10 root wont work, and the 2.15 tells me I'm not on the correct hboot. I've been nosing around time to find for the life up me an updated PC36IMG that contains the current 2.3.3 with hboot 2.15-2.16 If anyone can point in the right direction it would be greatly helpful.

Hey, here's what helped me. It's an RUU and worked running on my computer to change the hboot back to an older stock rom. I then accepted 1 update which took me back to the most recent version where I was able to use unrevoked/revolutionary to root my phone again. HEADS UP!!! Do NOT accept the most recent update from HTC/Sprint. This will change your hboot to 2.18 which there is currently no root. It also locks bootloader, there is an unlocking method, but simply put the easiest way to do this is:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15282635#post15282635
Go here and download the RUU
2. Unzip and run the EXE file on your computer. Make sure usb debugging is connected and that you make sure the screen doesn't turn off in the display settings.
3.Let the program do it's thing, it will tell you when it is finished and will reboot your phone (Heads up, it wiped my phone so make sure you backup your info.)
4. Double check the Hboot when it's done, you should be able to root from there. I accepted one update b/c this seemed to be froyo and the 1 update I did took me to Gingerbread, it prompted me to update again but DON'T accept the latest OTA
From here you should be set and ready to go about rooting your phone. This puts it back at stock as if you just got it. Hope it helps. I am kinda new at this and it took me a whole day to figure out, but this was pretty easy once I understood, the whole process only took about 20 minutes! . It's funny 3 days ago, if I read what I just wrote about EXE and Ruu's and whatnot.. I would not have known what any of it meant. I'd be happy to help explain better if need be. But wanted to update you on what worked for me.
Hi guys,
First and foremost, may I just say a big thank-you for all the information I've acquired over the past few days. It's been a great help. Unfortuntaely, I'm now after more!
I have successfully rooted my HTC Sensation and have S-Off'd and installed the Recovery Mod on the phone. This went fine, without a hitch.
I then tried to install the new Insert Coin 5.1.6 rom onto the phone, the install went fine but on reboot, the phone is in a constant loop. When I go back into the bootloader and try to update using the PG58IMG.zip and it just says 'CID Mismatch'.
Fortunately I made a backup of the image but when I go to resotre it I get the same issue. The original splash screen is back, but the infinite loop still exists.
I have a feeling I didn't flash the firmware to the correct version. The only thing is now, there's no way I can see of getting to the device apart from using a multi-card reader to access the SD card.
I'm also unsure of what firmware to use with this Rom? I've heard about editing the andriod-info.txt file to include my phone model or CID but isn't there one with my model already included?
Thanks for any help you can offer guys, I really appreciate it. I was really looking forward to trying these roms but I kinda messed it all up
Cheers
David
Can anyone please steer me in the right direction
Hope this helps

Hello all, I apologize if this or similar has been posted ahead of time. I've have been searching the forums and Google for the past 4 days trying to figure this out. I'm lost...
Just to be known, I am not a "complete" noob on rooting/hacking phones. I am however a noob on this Sensation..
So a few days ago I got this phone. I had all intentions of running rooted custom roms. I've followed every turtorial I could find on it. I see there were two ways: Through SDK and the All-in-one kit v1.0
I tried using the SDK first... the problem I had with it was I would get a "failed to fetch URL"
So I would have to close down. Then after that I couldn't get "revision 5" to load up to tick on it.
Obviously it wasn't working correctly or somthing was wrong with drivers? I did install HTC Sync AND latest Java.
I dunno?
Next I went to use the All-In-One toolkit
Seemed better and easier. I went through the steps of unlocking the Bootloader - DONE!
Next I went to flash recovery.. Well I got stuck. It wouldn't load.
Well this next step is probably where I went wrong...
I was trying to move clutter off my desktop and was clicking on things... I happen to hit the "Stock kernel" button. Wouldn't be a problem except the tool kit is used for the HTC One X (although it is said to also be used for the Sensation). I'm thinking maybe I loaded thr One X kernel?
Basically, after that I am stuck on the HTC wite screen. I can get into bootloader, Fastboot, and now CWMrecovery (although recovery is giving me issues too. Can't mount USB and half the time wont run SuperWipe, will say aborted status 1 and sometimes 7)
There is current rom in the phone so I cannot boot into anything and I wasn't able to do "perm root" because of my accident.
I'm stuck and I've run out of options. Is it bricked? What can I do to get back to stock to atleast start over and get S-OFF?
I do have the OTA ICS update 1.27 if that helps.
Please, any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

first flash 4ext recovery then is easy
Thanks for replying back so quickly! That is the actual thread I've been trying to follow. My problem with it is I can't get command prompt to work right? I follow the directions but every time I keep getting "not found" in the directories. Is it something on my comp I'm not doing right?

if you are trying to flash 4ext recovery then did you open the command prompt in the folder where adb and fastboot files are located?
if yes then did you have installed htc drivers?
best wishes
big mistake that you used kernel from that tool
i used the same tool to root my device but never flashed that kernel because it is for one x
never do steps that are not mentioning
Hi.
Your phone is not bricked..
Please look HERE
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I had a ATT inspire 4G running on android 2.2
I rooted and installed CWS with easy ace root. worked perfectly
then following another guide I found, I tried to flash update-aospX-1.0.0-AR26-DesireHD-signed using recovery.
But my phone was stuck on the white HTC screen and didn't go anywhere. Trying to solve this issue I wiped everything with recovery and flashed this: GizRoot_v_2 (1) which I found on this forum as a rom made similar to the stock rom. this worked and now phone was good but the guide did say to change the radio.
I tried to update my radio via hboot with sd card, but it always got stuck on the installing part and never finished. After researching it the problem was that I am still S-ON and you cant change radios while S-on?
I have spent 4+ hours googling and researching I have about 12 tabs open with different guides. I am very frustrated at this point
I Have a inspire 4g phone that works but the radio doesn't work. 1st it would connect to the movil network of the carrier but the wifi did work. I changed the simcard to another provider and it did work calls were made and internet data worked. but now wifi doesn't work!
I would like to have the phone back to factory setting and stock att rom. how can I do this, I used a RUU exe, but it always said error connecting to the phone. the RUU is RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed
or maybe I am doing it wrong?
help please
edit: I booted phone to fastrecovery usb and ran the RUU.exe again, this time it went all the way to wiping and sending then it said an unknown error occurred right after updating signature and sent me to error recovery step 0, followed prompts but nothing worked
Flash boot.img from fastboot. Read the Ace Think Tank in Desire HD General for details.
steps
Ok
So.
I booted into recovery, wiped data and factory reset, wiped cache partition, wiped dalvik cache
installed from sd card update-aospX-1.0.0-AR30-DesireHD-signed. rebooted device into fastboot, connected usb cable.
downloaded android-win-tools and extracted into one folder. I also extracted the boot.img from update-aospX-1.0.0-AR30-DesireHD-signed into the same folder.
I opened a cmd window, went to said directory. typed fastboot.exe then fastboot devices. my device is there, then I did fastboot flash boot boot.img sending boot, writing boot ok.. did fastboot reboot...
and HOLY **** IT WORKS...
I still have to test wifi gps calls etc
EDIT: WIFI WORKS, GPS WORKS BLUETOOTH TOOK A WHILE TO TURN ON BUT WORKS, and calls work! camera works yey!
MIUI on Inspire 4G
Hi,
I need something like that too.
I bought my phone from USA in 2011, Android 2,2, i think, and with MIUI on it, locked on AT&T and I use it in Europe.
I unlocked it here in Europe and everything was fine.
So, the phone started work slow and after 2 years of use it I didn't receive any system update. My husband bought one same model, no MIUI on it, but HTC Sense I think, AT&T locked, unlocked here, but he received the system update and worked fine.
Now, in my silly thinking, I started to look for update on Internet and I saw that the Android is already 4.2. and I have 2.2. And I said,man, that's why is not working so well.
So, I upgraded my phone to Android 4.2.2 JDQ39E - the most stupid thing I could do. Starting that day, my phone is freezing non-stop, it restarted itself while I am talking on the phone. The apps are not working well, are freezing often. I read on AT&T website that for my model, the last Android is not 4.2.2 at all, but it was too late.
I found out how to upgrade the MIUI and I did it. This is ok, but this MIUI it makes me cray. I don't like it at all.
I WANT TO GET RID OF MIUI AND PUT SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF IT. And put the normal Android system that my phone support it well.
HOW I CAN DO THAT?
Please help me with some advices before I will creat a new model: HTC Inspire 4G smashed.
Thank you so much.

Uh mate, It's best to go back to Stock Roms for that. And Everytime you guys go upgrading and degrading Roms, It's best to make a backup image with Nandroid.
Easiest way to go back to stock is find the proper RUU's for your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385016
Pick one of these, Download the RUU, Plug in your phone and Let the App do it's magic.
And take note, It's going back to the STOCK.
After that, Use the AAHK tool or search around the forums to unlock and S-Off.
Good luck.
Thank you!

Thank you so much. Before I will do what you said, I will read all the threads about AAHK and how to unlock. I need to be informed before to do it. It is a little hard for me to do all these steps, but I will try. If I will succeed, than I will reconvert my job :laugh:
Yeyyyy
