htc sensation brick

Hello I have reached the wire trick stage and after several attempts and pulling the battery the phone does not want to turn on and no led comes up while charging. Is my phone completely bricked?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
When exactly did you pulled the battery?

Based on that we can say whether the phone for bricked or not
[HTC Sensation] killerkarp386:
HTC sensation brick

Im not 1 hundred percent sure either during the htc logo or the process, So does that mean my phone is completely bricked.
[HTC Sensation] anonymous724:
Do you need to unlock the bootloader again after achieving s-off?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
no there is no need to unlock it
[HTC Sensation] anonymous724:
O.k thanks. And do you NEED s-off to flash say PAC ROM?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
either S-OFF or unlocked bootloader yes you have to in order to flash any rom

but first you have to install a custom recovery because from recovery you can install roms

Help needed

Hello I'm not proffesional I have sensation xe and decided to root it.first I have to turn off security and unock bootloader and succeeded with this thread xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2247319 now when I reboot there seems to b the only network,batteri,memory card tool bar above on the screen and nothing else and the mobile is not functioning only the first screen without icons.in bootloader it shows juopunutbear. Pyramid pvt ship S-OFF RL. Hboot-1.27.1111. Radio-11.24A.3504.31_M. OpenADSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418. Plz help me what to do now.I havenot removed temp root yet becoz its not mentioned there how to do that..thankyou friends
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Check my soff guide last steps for removing temp root (link in my signature )
[HTC Sensation] bashirchak:
Will it work becoz its different than the virtual machine guide as I haven't rooted with this method but with some comands I don't knw..plz let me know
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes it will

Take the Linux version of the remove temp root script and run it

Or if you have adb and fastboot on your windows machine copy the windows variant of the remove temproot script to the folder which has adb and fastboot and double click on the script
[HTC Sensation] bashirchak:
Thankyou very much sir I have successfully removed temp root now my device is in normal condition its becoz of you..now I want to root it permanently plz guide me how to do it..thankyou very much
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
The same guide.. One click root tool :)
[HTC Sensation] bashirchak:
Thankyou for your help.should I install recovery first or should I root first.thankyou sir
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
any order is fine

but root your device only if you want to backup the current apps and its data (any rooted app like titanium backup,mybackup pro etc etc )

if you are planning to install a custom rom with clean wipe ..then rooting is redundant ...as all custom roms comes pre-rooted
[HTC Sensation] bashirchak:
Thank you for your response.if I root and then install a custom Rom will it cause any problem..
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
no you will be fine
[HTC Sensation] bashirchak:
Thankyou sir..plz suggest me some stable jellybean roms for my sensation xe
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i haven't tested personally any jb rom but you can give a shot to albinoman887's cm10.1

a lot of users said that it is fast

for roms go to development section

edit:before flashing a new rom backup the current one just in case
[HTC Sensation] bashirchak:
Please thankyou sir...If I face any problems I wl share with you to get solution...you guys are superb keep helping moons...thankyou
[HTC Sensation] dany xe:
Best jb rom is cm10.1 but u could also try viper s 3.0.2 from venom team, it still has some bugs like camera not working, but it's definitly my favorite rom
[HTC Sensation] bashirchak:
Hello sir I flashed the recovery successfully but I don't know that have I rooted the phone successfully becoz at first it boots normally and at 2nd it doesn't boot normally shows only the status bar and nothing else..what I have done wrong..I put the sensation files like root.bat,busybox,and Su in the adb folder but forget to put superuser.apk in the folder is it becoz of this mistake..how can I chek that my phone is rooted or not..if not then should I have to repeat the process again..thankyou
[HTC Sensation] dany xe:
First of all download "xda assistant" app from playstore, u can check if ur rooted from it, i think u should find this information in system information that u find inside the xda assistant app
[HTC Sensation] bashirchak:
Not rooted..what to do now..

flash this from recovery

[HTC Sensation] Electriccars:
Fixed! Never mind what's written below. :) My brother and I figured out how to flash the stock boot.IMG and now it works! However it's still giving power surge issues. So I'm still sending it back. :)

Original comment: Help! I've done this 3 times, on 3 different phones all without issue. I just got a replacement with insurance and it wasn't working the normal way. Then it said "cannot find seat, is the bar closed? Press enter to exit"

So I pressed enter and now the phone won't connect! Every time I plug it in to the PC it says power surge, device not recognized. It boots only into boot loader and the Joupunutbear screen. Won't boot into recovery. Won't boot into ROM. Won't connect to PC. HELP!

Edit: I was able to reflash recovery, I then flashed a ROM. But it still won't boot past the juopunutbear screen! :( and found out what was wrong. The device they sent me had a faulty USB port. :-\ ugh. I'm going to send it back. But I would prefer to send it back in booting condition! Please help. :(
[HTC Sensation] sh4d00w:
is it important to flash juopuntbear's hboot?? why no stock hboot?

hi I have followed your excellent guide and now im s off,i have a question,before s off I used 4ext smartflash recovery,can I change to cwm by just flashing it as I did with 4ext and will it just overwrite 4ext ,thanks for your easy to follow guide
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yes you can flash it.if you have the recovery.img just use the fastboot command and you are done

it will overwrite it

but why to change recovery?
[HTC Sensation] stevebclarke62:
sorry just worked out how to turn off smartflash now im s off,going to stick with 4ext,thank you

that was my thought too hehe:)

will this methode work for hboot-1.28.0006 also

Hi,

I have a HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e with hboot 1.28.0006. I unlocked my bootloader using htcdev, But I can't install CM10 latest on this. I hope its due to S-ON. I tried 'fastboot flash zip cm-10-20130519-NIGHTLY-pyramid.zip' as describe on htcdev web. but it failed with following error.

Kindly advice me to get install the latest version of CM10.

---------command i ran & error------------

./fastboot flash zip cm-10-20130519-NIGHTLY-pyramid.zip

sending 'zip' (150788 KB)... OKAY

writing 'zip'... INFOzip header checking...

this will work for all CIDS ?

mine is cid: VODAPD18
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
probably not because your cid doesn't match with this ruu

look one for vodafone ruu

but you can try it

don't worry if it doesn't work it will give you error

are you on S-ON?
[HTC Sensation] Nyphue:
Great guide, thanks for writing it.

Managed to get the wire trick right on second attempt. Beauty!

Is there a good reason why I shouldn't re-run htc dev to make the text say "Unlocked" again having just used this method to get s-off?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you got S-OFF then there is no reason to use htcdev unlock method

you are fine:good:
[HTC Sensation] Nyphue:
Good to know, thanks!

So now I have S-OFF I am going to do the super CID. Then.... which ROM do you recommend I go for?

I will do my own reading but interested to see what people think is the best around at the moment?

Thank you!
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i can't tell you what rom is best for you

you have to test some of them by yourself

and then stick with one that suits best to you:cool:

Noob driver issue

I have downloaded and run the software however it is telling me to connect the device and install drivers. I have already installed the phone drivers during the the phone rooting, do I need any other drivers? :confused:

I can see my phone in the device manager as android device ---> HTC android interface
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
Check if usb debugging mode is enabled

And use usb 2.0 ports
[HTC Sensation] kapateh:
Issue persists

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, the USB Debugging, usb debugging notify and adb over network are selected.

I also have the latest HTC Drivers installed (according to windows 7), as it does not let me update the drivers from my stand-alone driver folder (32 bit)

Many Thanks

P.S I have albinoman's ROM installed.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
It you HTC sync also installed uninstall it

Then see again
[HTC Sensation] kapateh:

I didn't have HTC Sync but MyPhoneExplorer, uninstalled it however the issue still persists.

Re installed the drivers and rebooted, also installed the drivers on a different computer, still no recognition.

Hi,

this is so complicated for me :( i'm the biggest noob out there :( cant understand juopunutbear's guide since it says that it supports ubunto and i have win 7 32 bit and win xp.. what should i do then? i've unlocked by my htc sensation using htcdev but have no idea how to gain s-off.. are there any video tutorials for gaining s-off or any thread that has explained every step in detail?

Please help :( i also need to know how to root my device..
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
You can use kerneldev101's guide in general section to s-off or flash 4ext recovery then use supersu.zip(flashing from recovery) to root the device

For that you can see the guide for flashing roms with s-on in general section
[HTC Sensation] huzefaonline:

Secondary backup FAILED!!

what should i do now?
[HTC Sensation] badai:
boot into bootloader and see if you already s-off

if you still s-on, try to s-off again. i'm not sure what else you can do.

if you already s-off you can install recovery (the normal one) then install any ROM, then you can install touch recovery. everything should be fine. you can also install latest firmware too.

FYI, almost everybody got this failure and most of them just follow the instruction on JuopunutBear website to manually restore recovery.

let us know anything that you don't understand.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
this is the cause

ControlBear says "secondary backup failed."

This is often caused by a Custom ROM or having HTC Sync installed on your PC.

Source: http://unlimited.io/jbtroubleshooting.htm
[HTC Sensation] huzefaonline:
i dont think i have a custom rom. i have stock ics rom. how do i check if i have stock or a custom rom? plus i dont event have htc sync installed. this s-off has been a pain in ass for me. been trying since a week just to gain s-off and failing miserably :'-(
[HTC Sensation] kraven0731:
Is this applicable to my phone? please see my signature below. thank you.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
in settings->about phone?

are you using USB 3.0 ports or USB hub? then you should use USB 2.0 ports only (otherwise the interaction with the tool wont be proper ..HTC sync also accounts ot the same thing )

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

yes you can start the process.

All pre-requisites on device is met.

Check the Pre-requisites in my SOFF guide (just Pre-requisites section) ..link in my signature :)
[HTC Sensation] huzefaonline:
Here are the details of my phone
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
it seems stock.

Then problem is with connections then

any syncing/phone connecting applications (like samsung keis) on your device? try to uninstall them

Also Connect the phone from bootloader to PC and check whether the phone says FASTBOOT USB or FASTBOOT (if it says HBOOT ..press power button once that will take you to either FASTBOOT/FASTBOOT USB). if it says later one then the connection is not proper or correct drivers are missing

(check the pre-requisites section in my soff guide---link in my signature)
[HTC Sensation] huzefaonline:
i think i've lost it :( though my device is htc dev unlocked, still cant get the s-off. i think i'll keep my phone like that :( the guide in this link http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm says what should i do about that. i've done everything i read here but still no s-off. i think i'm just a big loser at these developments.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
nah nah

sometimes the tool misbehaves.

BTW if your target is ROOT/CUSTOM ROM

then SOFF is not mandatory ..HTC dev unlock is more than enough

check this guide :)

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
how are you doing wire-trick?

you should hold the wire on the sd plate side and should tap on the hole ..not the other way around

also decrease the pause time a bit and see

0.5 sec tap --- 1.5 sec gap ---0.5 sec tap

..do check troubleshoot point #3 from my soff guide (link in my signature)..it has a video demonstration too
[HTC Sensation] huzefaonline:
Ganesh, buddy you rock.. thanks for expertise.. finally done with the wire trick and have s-off now :D

Now new problem, after s-off htc sensation is not going into media mode, as in when i put the charging cable on it used to ask me whether i want to keep it in charging mode or media mode but not its only in charging mode, what should i do? i was thinking of installing cynagon mode 10.1 on my sensation but since i cant get my phone in media, cant put the cynagon zip file in card :( second problem is that after s-off my wifi is not working. what to do?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Settings - accessibility

Or click on the charging icon on notification.. It will give you the menu
[HTC Sensation] huzefaonline:
boss there is nothing in settings - accessibility fow wifi :(

and there is also no notification sign for charging :(

Thank you guys. I am finally S-Off. I had some questions and issues along the way but a bit of patience and googling helped.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
The commands can be found by typing in adb help or fastboot help. I am currently not at home with my computer so I can not check to see which one it is.
[HTC Sensation] -Asskicker-:
Thanks, I got it booted and I tried again. But I have the same problem again...

What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Sensation] Terepin:
True, but others were saying that if you are S-OFF nothing else matters. Plus, what's the point of going S-OFF when it relockes the bootloader, making S-OFF practically useless?

help

Hello

how to remove juopunutbear fasboot, to recover fastboot locked, i'm already s-off?

THANKS
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Make sure you try all of the USB ports on your computer. If you are using a desktop computer try the USB ports in the back of the tower. If still no joy, then open up the SDK manager and make sure you have the the google android drivers installed.

I agree that is kinda defeating the purpose of being S-off. It seems like Juopunutbear uses a different exploit to achieve S-off.
[HTC Sensation] -Asskicker-:
I have tried a different USB port and doesn't work either.

These are the drivers I have installed, am I missing something?
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
S-OFF trumps locked. It might say locked, but all partitions are open.
[HTC Sensation] Terepin:
Then why Fastboot Commander fails to flash anything? Certainly not for making fun from it's user.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Did you happen to notice that out to the side of the Google USB Driver in the Status column it says not installed. You need to install the drivers.

Hi guys,

yesterday finally bought new sensation but it's with 1.27 H-boot. I've done HTC dev-unlock procedure and the phone is Unlocked. I stuck on this part:

- Be on the stock ROM and be rooted (have superuser and/or an unsecured boot image installed)

How how to install superuser if my phone is not S-OFF? I didn't find any answer :(. Can u send me a link or an instruction how to install superuser?

Sorry if my question is noobish but i'm coming from Desire HD and there was easier way to root (without wires :D).

Thanks for your help in advance
[HTC Sensation] Rusty!:
HTCDev unlock is all you need to flash a custom recovery.
[HTC Sensation] Huxi:
With HTCdev-unlock you're able to install a custom recovery and then

you have to install su.zip you find everything in this forum.
[HTC Sensation] Selfmade Rulez:
Hi,

Whats the factor about loosing the warrenty of htcdev? It is the idetifier token or the "unlocked" "relocked" Sign?

German:

Also was ist für den garantieverlust bei htcdev verantwortlich? Der identifier token oder die Zeile unlocked bzw relocked?
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
I think it is both actually, but I think the token identifier is more of the warranty voiding culprete. The token identifier gets stored on HTC's system and is linkec to the device it was used on to unlock the bootloader. Meaning that HTC has a record that that devices bootloader was unlocked.

Now the unlocked and relocked in Hboot is another way for HTC to know you have unlocked your bootloader. But the unlocked and relocked in Hboot can be changed back to the original locked if you know what you are doing.
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Hi,

I'm gettng the following error:

C:\fastboot>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

I'm on Windows 7... There is no spaces between my token (I've checked). I've completed this process on several HTC One X's, so I know how to do it. USB Debugging is turned on.
