Hi,

i had the exact same problem and yesterday i solved it. I tried to flash the latest InsertCoin ICS ROM and failed to first install the new Firmware. When i realized this, i did it but forgot to check the CID, wich was not in the FW-zip.. so.. my phone just bootlooped, came to the splashscreen the rebooted. Your phone is not bricked. ;)

This is what i did to solve it:

First i got Super-CID wich you can read about in this thread: [Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on .. it took me about 30 sec to get Super-CID, its very easy if you just read the text. :)

Then i flashed the new Firmware (3.24.401.1 RUU) that you can find here [DEV] HTC Sensation & HTC Sensation XE firmware | Partitions Info | [22.01.2012]

After that i just flashed the ROM like before and voila, it worked.

Hope it helped some.
[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
I really doubt that your phone is bricked!!

If your CID is HTC--001 and you have installed the firmware you said before it is normal that you are bootlooping. Because you didn't install the correct firmware for your CID. You should install this firmware, that is the one you find under your CID in this thread.

Install it, then reinstall the darkforest sensation xe ics 3.2.1 (or any other ICS rom) and you will be good.

EDIT: trx182's method is also good. The concept is the same, you didn't install the firmware correctly the first time because of a non-matching CID. You need to supercid and install the firmware he linked OR install a firmware modded for your CID like the one I linked.

If you are S-off like you said on the first post you have nothing to worry (you can check that on your hboot page).

brick

Hi, no i didnt think i had bricked it but i didnt want to do te wrong thing in case i did.

I had no problem with the hero but this time it seems i cant work things out and have forgotten all the steps, i really didnt know what to do for the best and didnt just want to try things incase i did brick it, better to know exactly what the right steps are first before doing anything.

I will read everything a few times and do what you suggest but i think that will get done tomz.

Thanks again and i'll let you knw how i get on.
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
still bootloops

Grandelama flashed the pg58img you told me to did a backup then flashed the darkforest rom rebooted and still bootloop so i tried the other rom suggested and just the same, tried a restore with the new 4ext touch and still bootloop,

should i do a superwipe or just wipe cache or cache and dalvik? and flash another rom or do a wipe data/factory reset first or what???

doing a restore with any of the three backups i have doesnt work, shouldnt this just get me back to stock?

:confused:
[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
Can you tell exactly what you have in the first 4 lines of your HBOOT screen?
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:

Its not very clear but is this what you want?

[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
Thanks for the screenshot. Everything looks (very) good. You are unlocked, s-off and with the right radio (so the firmware installation was ok in every point)!

You are as good as me. Imho you only need to install the right rom!

And with that I mean you need any rom based on the new ICS leaks (3.24 - 3.25), to pair with the firmware you installed (3.24)

Probably DarkForest Sensation XE ICS 3.2.0 was still a 3.12 based rom!!

You need to install DarkForest Sensation XE ICS 4.1.0

!! or android revolution 6.2.1 ecc... there are a lot of roms based on 3.24 / 3.25 out there, just choose one, put on sd, superwipe and install :)
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
Thats good news and thanks again for your help, i really appreciate it!

I will do all that today and let you know how i get on.

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
Sorry! another quick question, i have 4ext touch should i use it to wipe and if so which ones exactly and if not should i put superwipe on the sd card and just use that?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
I usually use 4ext touch to launch superwipe.zip from android revolution hd thread. It wipes and prepare everything for you :)
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
Ok thanks!
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
loop

:confused: it now just looping on the white htc screen???
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
cid

Could it be because it should be cid 11111 first?
[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
SuperCID does no harm, it just "unlock" your CID. But installing the firmware modded for your specific CID should work just the same.

Which rom did you decide to install in the end? On first boot it could stay a few minutes on HTC logo white screen.

If after 10 minutes is not booting you can try to wipe cache+dalvik cache and reboot.

If it is still not working you could supercid 11111 (supercid -> reinstall firmware package -> reinstall rom). That is how I did it the first time for my phone.
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
cid

I went for the darkforest 4.01one you suggested but looping again, i cant get super cid i go into cmd and follow the thread about it but it doesnt do anything, i would like to super cid as from what i read thats the only way to get 4.0 but really anything would do just now.
[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
There's other people having bootloop problems with that rom.

See here.

I would try to install another rom (I would try with Android Revolution HD 6.2.1).
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
Ok just the same again superwipe and flash rom yeah?
[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
Yeah I would try to do that. Superwipe and install.

Pay attention if 4ext recovery gives you some kind of error.

If it is still not working you could try to go through Supercid...If you couldn't supercid the first time you tried It doesn't mean you can't. There could be something missing on the pc side.
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
OK,

i did notice it said only for US t-mobile so i entered no and also uk orange, would that have been a clue?
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
did that flashed the rev hd 6.2.1 and now it bootloops the white htc screen then the white htc quietly brilliant screen and every so often the beats logo comes up too.

IS there anyway to wipe it all and start again, it seems nothing i do ever works. :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
You are in a bootloop hell!!

Another stupid question, did you remove any PG58IMG.zip from your SD card?
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
BOOTLOOP HELL IS SPOT ON! anyway , yes i did remove pg58img.

I cant think of anything else, brain is now officially dead!

Anyone got a hammer? ;-)
[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
You still have a ton of options.

Before trying to make Supercid works the only other thing I can think of could be the install sequence.

You can follow the official procedure from the thread you downloaded the firmware package from.

Simply you should try to reinstall firmware package AFTER have installed the rom. Some people had problems installing the firmware package BEFORE installing rom like you did.
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
Right, thanks Grandelama, i will try what you suggest before i tear out whats left of my hair! ;) and thanks for sticking with me! doing the hero was fun, trying out all the different roms, this one not so much, cant get my head around whats wrong this time and i'm scared of bricking it.

I'll let you know how i get on.
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
??

again its asking ....htc sensation only for us t-mobile provider, how do i answer that yes or no ?

decided to go with no and thenit asked if i wanted bravia (rcommended so i agreed now its bootlooping again should i have said yes instead?

getting to beats logo and then looping.
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
loop

I really dont get this and reading the forums it seems its happening a lot to sensation and xe owners.

I had a problem with mine bootlooping (still have!) aqfter the first time i tried to flash a rom, so went to CWM recovery and back to my first backup, which it went back to, so no problem there, a working XE again!

Decided to have another go at putting a new rom on did another backup tried again and in the end got bootloop again only this time going to recovery and to restore a prevoius backup did not work and again got bootloop.

Did it again and again bootloop, but on trying to go back to a recovered image it didnt work and none of the three i have made have worked either no matter what i do so far, i always get bootloop.

Superwipe different roms everything and still bootloop there must be someone who can fix this as it seems to be happening a lot and there must be a root (sorry for the pun!) cause to all theses bootloops.

Decided to put ICS on my Hero to see if i was could and it went on first time no problem!

HELP!!! PLEASE!!! :confused:
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
rom

Forgot to add it says in 4ext the installation of the rom was successful and states the name of the rom but it still bootloops!

It also says in hboot

hboot 1.2.1100

radio 11.21.3504.13_2

open ADSP-v02.6.0 222.00.0104

Any ideas!
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
cwm

AHH! have i just answered my own question?

Should my pg58img be 1.7 or 1.23 instead of 1.27???

Can anyone help me with the answer???

I,m thinking 1.27 wont let me use CWM backups ???
[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
Say yes if you are a on US t-mobile. All these options are not the cause of your bootloop anyway.

If you are 100% sure that:

-your CID is HTC__001

-the firmware package you installed is the one modded for your cid

-both rom and the firmmware package are not corrupted (always check the MD5, it is very important, i personally use hashtab)

The next step I would do is to try to make supercid works. It has to.

If you follow all the instruction on step 4 here where do you start to have problems? what exact error is it giving to you?

1.27 is the one you need for all the new ICS roms.

You can also choose to revert back to 1.17... but you will have to stick with gingerbread roms...
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
Hi, Grandelama, thanks for your reply!

Firstly no, i am not on US T mobile i am on UK O2 (giffgaff to be exact, it runs on the back of O2)

I did check the cid and it was HTC__001 cant see it changing?

MID was PG5813001 i wrote them down at the time i checked,

dont know how exactly to check the md5? but i can get into 4ext

I honestly dont know whether to go back to 2.3.4 if its easier to get out of this bootloop hell or try and get 4.0 which i really wanted in the first place, fear of bricking the phone is holding me back.

when i went to super cid none of the commands in cmd worked its as if it wasnt connected, i must be missing something, never done supercid or adb or cmd before and i am not at all sure what i'm doing i follow the threads about it but cant seem to get the right pathway in cmd?
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
It says on supercid to go to the regular home screen which i cant because the phone wont switch on it just bootloops!

I would like to get supercid but is it possible with the phone bootlooping?
[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
Enter in your HBOOT screen, select FASTBOOT, then connect it. It should be seen correctly by adb devices.
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
WooHoo!!

got super cid at last! couldnt get it using the first method (no home screen) but tried the alternative and it worked this time.

Going to flash an ICS Rom shortly if i get time! is there anything i need to do (or check?)

now i am super cid 11111111 before i flash the rom?

superwipe ????
[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
Good! Now I would install the ICS firmware from mike1986.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412618

Download and install his one:

Firmware from 3.24.401.1 RUU

--- MD5 checksum: 632F8A40991DC95F241FDF4A5FC9F006 *PG58IMG.zip ---

--- Only for 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 based ROMs

Then I would superwipe and try to reinstall the rom (arhd 6.2.1).
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
THANKS!

Ok, here goes!
[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
So you're no more stuck in bootloops?

If that's the case I'm glad it worked out in the end.

Enjoy ICS ;)
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
sim

Grandelama

Thank you! Thank you Thankyou! i have my phone back!

By mistake i pressed the 1.2 kernel instead of the 1.5 which my XE has anyway should i do a wipe then reflash the rom with 1.5 this time to get it back?

oh and did i say thank you! :D
[HTC Sensation] highlander1v:
thanks

I will Grandelama, thanks to you! Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] Grandelama:
I think XE users don't have to select the 1,5Ghz modded kernel.

It is right to select 1.2 stock kernel, since for them it will be clocked at 1.5.

If you want to check you can download Antutu, do a benchmark and find your max frequency in the details.

Does anyone know where to get a replacement bezel? I bought my phone used and it has some nicks and scratches on the bezel. I think I have a mild form of OCD and it drives me insane to see scratches on it. :rolleyes: Also what size Torx wrench would I need to take this thing apart? All input appreciated!
[HTC Rezound] tynan:
The bezel, as in the piece attacked to the screen, or the plastic ring that's slightly higher around it?

The glass piece is about 40~ bucks, the plastic? I've had a quick look on the Google and found nothing, sorry dude.
[HTC Rezound] bgiles72:
I am pretty sure it is the plastic around the glass screen. Mine is loose in one of the corners and it is making me upset. I would love to know where to get a new one, but for now, I just have a case on it to make sure it all stays together
[HTC Rezound] con247:
My best suggestion would be to just repaint yours for now.
[HTC Rezound] shooter_454:
Call verizon if your having audio issues hint hint...I know someone who bought a use phone and it had a few things wrong so they sent them a refurbished one,these phones have a one year manufacture warranty it doesnt matter that you got it used they dont know that.
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
Hmm, sounds like it would work, but I don't know if I would really want to do that... I might if a replacement bezel is out of the picture.
[HTC Rezound] shooter_454:
I know it will work,I bought a used thunder bolt it wouldnt mount to my pc called and told them about they never asked if i bought it used or anything.My friend had the same issues as yourself but i think they may have told them something else was wrong with it and they sent a refurb to them,its up to you but they just send them back and get refunded...
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
Hmm, the buzzing behind my music is a legitimate enough reason to ask Verizon for a new one. I might go this weekend and see if they will replace it.
[HTC Rezound] shooter_454:
You might want to call in they dont have refurbs in store most of the time they overnight them to you.
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if they would let me get a Nexus? I love this phone, but I would really like to try out a Nexus. Then if I don't like it I could just trade someone for another Rezound :D
[HTC Rezound] sportsinger75:
Would you have to have insurance for this?
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
Factory year warranty...
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
What should I say when I call Verizon?
[HTC Rezound] 06stang:
Phone has bad speaker you tried a hard reset still have a problem. Want a replacement. Very easy just don't take no for an answer!
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
Hmm, Ok, I am going to call in a bit and tell them I am having issues with audio while using headphones. Thanks for the help!

EDIT: Also where can I fine the stock recovery file? I want to restore it back to stock before I try to exchange it.
[HTC Rezound] bgiles72:
I was looking around for this same thing, and I think I might of found something, try this and let me know. (If I ever need to) also, I am curious to see if you can get a Nexus. (I still love my Rezound though)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20990402&postcount=2
[HTC Rezound] TB13:
I will try it out tomorrow after I call Verizon. I am also curious if they will give me a Nexus. I bet if I complain about the build quality of the phone and how I'm not happy with it and maybe threaten not to come back when my contract is up they would give it to me :p I do still love this phone though, so if they will just replace it I will be happy.

I am releasing my first app, TableNotes

The app is based off a player HUD as in online poker sites where you can take notes and assign specific colors to players at your table to indicate how they are playing, etc for a quick reference.

I wanted to bring that idea to the live tables so I came up with TableNotes as a quick table reference to help keep your opponents game straight.

In the first version I have color references available, and will be updating soon to include the ability to take notes for each seat.

I originally designed this app for my personal use, but thought i would release it in case others were interested.

App has been upgraded in the market! there is now a paid version that allows you to take notes on a player, along with the free features of giving a player a color coded note.

Check out the free version if you play poker at the casinos, or even home games. you have nothing to lose! Let me know by rating the app, or posting here your thoughts and suggestions! Thank you!

[General Questions and Answers] I Am Marino:
Am I the only one who could care less about phone thickness, within reason?

I notice in all the accessories forum, people are complaining about how extended batteries and cases make the phone too thick, and by thick they mean like 2mm. thicker, so the phone is still like half an inch thick at the most.

Is it just me, or does anyone else like some thickness so it feels more sturdy in my hand rather than an envelope which seems to be what people want.

For example, an iPhone, I actually really like how it looks like a phone in theory but has a good sturdy block looking build, Evo4G, same thing, decent sized, feels like a premium handset.

Any supporters out there of some thickness?
[General Questions and Answers] slapshot30:
I'm with you. I need some thickness for it to be comfortable, too slim and it doesn't feel great to hold for a long period of time. And they should give us bigger stock batteries as oppose to a tiny bit skinnier.
[General Questions and Answers] Kailkti:
To an extent I suppose. I don't want to be carrying a phone the thickness of an old iphone, but the sgs 2's slimness has made me paranoid when holding it. I'm just not sure right now, but I guess as long as it is light like the sgs 2 and not heavy like the HD2 I guess.
[General Questions and Answers] bdfull3r:
i think they is a certain cut off point. Something like the Huawai p1 at 6.6mm is too thin but the iPhone at 9mm is a little too thick. I guess this sweet spot varies per person and phone size. if i had a massive 4.65 inch screen (like the GNexus) i think the 9mm would be nice if it is a smaller sleeker device (like the iPhone) then around 9mm isn't enough for me
[General Questions and Answers] Madmanden:
To me thickness matters. If a phone is thin, then it's easy to keep it in your pocket regardless of its other dimensions. But if it's thick it will feel bulky in your pants even if it's a relatively compact phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Z0R:
Thickness matter if a phone is fast :)
[General Questions and Answers] I Am Marino:
For these size screens we're getting, I think a thickness around 8mm is good, a little thinner than iPhone.

I agree, but I wish all phones had better battery life. I can barely make it through day on my SGS2. Hopefully in 2 years it will improve :(

[General Questions and Answers] UserDemos:
I agree with the guy who liked the EVO 4G. It has the perfect sweet spot to me. Just thick enough to feel sturdy and quality and thin enough to be thin. I'm thinking of upgrading to the EVO 3D because I also like it's thickness (or thinness, not sure). The newest phones just feel too thin and flimsy to me. I feel like they aren't quality because they're so light and thin. They almost feel cheap.

Then again, like someone said, it varies by the person. Everyone has their preferences.

Download this app and see which APN you are using. Also, with the app you can do a backup of your APNs and it will create a folder on your internal storage. Go to that folder and delete the file that it created then go back to the link with the APNs and download the "APNManager" zip file, unzip it, then move that xml file into the folder for the app and then go back to the app and use "Restore". See if that helps. After restoring it you might need to manually select the "AT&T US HSDPA"
