fastboot accsess only when 4 triangles show up

To explain my functionality of fastboot commands, maybe you should notice this:

When I newly place battery and I plug in the phone via USB Kabel (original htc) I see the black screen with 4 triangles maybe about 5 seconds, then screen turns into that white "hboot-thing" (dont no name for that display).

I can enter fastboot-commands only in these few seconds when I have black screen with 4 triangles. When I miss the moment I have at least to unplug usb for a second and plug in again, so I have "black screen" again for few seconds.

1. could it be I got the wrong hboot on the phone, now it says HBOOT-1.29.0000 before update messed everything up it was HBOOT- 1.27* ???

2. Can it be nothing works because USB-DEBUGGING is off ???
[HTC Sensation] jmcclue:
And again.. ur phone is in ruu mode, all u can do is flash the correct ruu for ur device. If ur phone is "carrier" unlock then flash a wwe or europe ruu for ur device.
[HTC Sensation] dididoner:
Thanks again, but sorry Sir but what is carrier, and what a wwe or europe ruu ?

I tried many different ruu, all starting RUU_PYRAMID_LE_***** . What could be the problem?

And how can I unlock via fastboot? The only way I know is this and it wont work: fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.binsending 'unlocktoken'

[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
when you connect the device to pc you have to choose from bootloader screen fastboot

did you do that?

or does it directly prompts you to the ruu mode when connecting it to pc?

if yes use 3.33 universal from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

follow the instructions to the letter

and before flashing check md5 sums(important)

Yeah, after one week I got a different display, THANKS TO YOU MY FRIEND!!! :)

What I did was:

C:\>fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (the link you gave me 3.33*)

blablabla

C:\>reboot

<waiting for device>

But now I am stuck, I see only the white screen wíth recovery and everything, but I cant do anything with it

And fastboot via PC ist not working anymore!!!

See pictures

1. When I start the phone just with power button, phone gets stuck with htc logo.

2. When I start with power and volume down button it gets stuck with white screen...see picture

3. When I select recovery the phone loops between "htc-logo-display" and "black screen with green-circulating-arrow+arrow-down-display"...last picture

4. When I remove battery, place it again, plug in to PC, phone loops also between "black screen with green-circulating-arrow+arrow-down-display"...last picture
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
actually you could flash 3.33 universal directly from bootloader without using the pc at all

bootloader would scan for it and detect it for update

nevermind now do this

connect the device to pc and select fastboot

then try with fastboot devices command
[HTC Sensation] dididoner:
I am so glad. I put 3.33 directly on sd, via another phone. Then bootloader detected itself 3.33 zip, made update complete.

I had to reboot, now it stucks always on white screen with green htc-logo

I removed the zip from SD, started again, but device stucks still on white screen.

Then I put 4ext-recovery on SD card and flushed it. 4ext recovery is booting now, but no Rom. In Recovery mode I have ADB access, and in bootmode fastboot access!!:).

I have only CWM (not sure...dated 1980) and Titanium backups on SD card, how can I go back to my system now?

Nevertheless, I am very happy already, and hoping for another advice from you, how can I start a Rom now, dont want to mess it up again? I wiped dalvic and cache, didnt help. Really...Thank you so much!chris@chris-ThinkPad-T61p:~/htc_acer$ fastboot getvar all

Please my savior, could you help me out ...see my reply... Thanks once more:o
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
actually use the recovery.img i gave you via fastboot command if you want to use newest custom roms

it is the latest version of 4ext recovery

then try vipers 5.3.0 rom

it is a jelly bean rom with sense
[HTC Sensation] dididoner:
Thank you so much again. I flashed 4EXT_Recovery_Touch_v1.0.0.6_RC3, it works perfectly.

Then I tried vipers 5.3.0; md5sum ok, wiped, flashed everything except SD card.

Everything seemed to go alright, but then:

E: Error in /sdcard/****name of rom

(Status 0)

Installation aborted

What can I do ?

:confused:
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
remove and reinsert the sdcard

then try again with flashing the rom
[HTC Sensation] dididoner:
First I formated SD card via 4ext, here I had same error then before (E: Error in /sdcard/****name of rom)

Then I reinsertet SD card as you said, installation stucked at 19,75%, tried it several times, with wiping, formating and so on. And now again I have always E: Error in /sdcard/****name of rom

1. What would be the right format for sd card?

2. How can I proceed now?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
try to format the sdcard from pc

or use a different one if you have

also try this stock rom from 4ext

http://www.4shared.com/zip/ZYXJl3OSce/Stock_333401153_De-odexed.html

it is a flashable zip that can be used from 4et recovery
[HTC Sensation] dididoner:
Sorry Sir, I formated extern sdcard via pc, enabled smart flash on 4ext and installed twice, now, 4ext shows Current Rom: ViperS 5.3.0, but when restart it stucks a while in green htc logo, then autmatically 4ext boots again ??? Looking forward for another idea...really want to install viper... Thanks again
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
you are on S-OFF

do not enable smartflash you don't need it

now format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext

flash the rom again

see how it goes
[HTC Sensation] dididoner:
I disabled smart flash formated all partitions except sdcard...

...at first try it got stuck at about 19% (no full wipe while installation)

...at second try again the error: E: Error in /sdcard/Viper...zip (with fullwipe while installation)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i don't know man

try with the flashable stock rom

see if you have any issues with that
[HTC Sensation] dididoner:
:crying: Sorry! the flashable stock rom starts installation and it says sucessfully finished pls. reboot. But installation went in incredible short time.

4ext info says: Rom unknown and Rom booting impossible, stuck at green htc logo.

When I start 4ext it always say:

"The revovery hasnt been configured!

Use 4EXT Recovery Control or the free app...blabla...and to unlock configurable features.

Hint: check out recovery settings"

Could it be this has something to do with my problem?

[HTC Sensation] Neutrino22:
Could you explain how to fix this? I have error: when installing July's 60mb update I get failed due to error AppSharing.apk - status 7.

It seems OTA is verifying current applications for discrepancies - problem is I have stock recovery and stock ROM which I installed using this RUU from ShippedRoms with verified MD5 > RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69. 3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed

I'm confused as OTA is perhaps informing itself that AppSharing.apk has been modified... but from a clean RUU install??

** EDIT **

It's fine now! I managed to grab the recent RUU.
[HTC Sensation] ramzy101:
Do you have to relock the bootloader before I run a ruu I am HTC dev unlocked and s-off with joupounetbear and I am on t-mobile

yes relock the bootloader

also ..you need to run the RUU with phone connected in fastboot/bootloader

Thanks For every thing i followed the instructions but i just stopped at this step

after finding my CID and provider name it appears to be

CID HTC___J15

Provider Name HTC-GCC

my radio version 1.73.401.2_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2

so does the suggested rom have to be RUU_PYRAMID_LE_HTC-GCC_1.73.401.2_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2

or what ??? because i searched and didn't find a rom matching this suggestion and if i cant dind a one matching it is there any roms

thanks every thing went right

but the problem is that ICS upgrade is not available for my sensation XE

after i updated lots of things so what is wrong ?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
CID mismatch maybe ?

check the cid with this command

fastboot getvar cid

if its super cid then change it accordingly

to change the cid

fastboot oem writecid "yourcid" (eg: fastboot oem writecid HTC__001)
[HTC Sensation] najvecamoc:
Hi,

my phone is HTC unlocked but with S-ON, I forced an install of version 3.33 and lost wireless now I want to use this RUU "RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69. 3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed" and the method used here on this topic to restore stock and hopefully get wireless back.

Will I be able to? I am downloading the above RUU and while waiting for it to complete I thought I'd ask. I only found an RUU for 3.33 on filefactory but i need to get premium it seems to be able to download it....
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
3.32 will not work with S-On. You need S-Off to downgrade.

But your problem (about WiFi) can be fixed easily. I recommend that you join the IRC help channel to solve your WiFi problem rather than flash the RUU.

Here's the link to the channel: http://webchat.freenode.net//?channels=#helpmenow

i kept checking updates since yesterday with no use i just want to know if i did all the steps right or i nedd to reflash the ROM

THanks Again
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
can you summarize the steps you did
[HTC Sensation] Lentiform:
Steps

It was rooted first and s off running revolutionary hd then i read your post here so i followed these steps

1 installed sdk and drivers

2 found my cid to be htc__j15 and i asked you u told me it will be europe unbranded

3 downloaded this rom RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.2_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_215830

4 flashed it until bootloader told me its s on and locked

5 every thing went right i first updated the arabic support and another thing which i cant remember may be its related to system but its not ICS for sure

6 whenever i ask for another update it keeps saying its up to date

android 2.3.4

sense 3.0

software number 1.73.415.3
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
no that doesn't matter

it shows you that because you don' t have installed the recovery updater app or recovery control app in your device

ignore that

i don't know what to say man

probably you have a corrupted partition in your device:(

there is a thread on how to boot a custom rom from sdcard

i will search it

Thanks for this guide. It is very well written. :good:

But I have a question. I don't get the fastboot screen at all when I press Vol Down + Power button. All I get is black screen with HTC in the middle and a triangle with an exclamation sign in all four corners of the screen. The command, fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip works on my phone and I get a green progress bar under the "HTC" but up to a point: it gets stuck at

and the green progress bar stops moving. I got the same result when I tried using the RUU windows file earlier.

What could be the issue and how do I solve this?

Need help, really need it

Hello

Straight to the problem

Last night my daughter was playing with the phone when it suddenly shutdown itself.

So i charge while it is still off for couple minutes and firing it up again

It turns out that i dont have any reception, and when i check it says

"Baseband Unknown"

"IMEI Unknown"

"IMEI SV Unknown"

I thought the shutdown process eats my Radio files so i just flashed an RUU with 3.33 radio in it.

Still my phone doesn't have any signal

It even lag my phone a lot, touchscreen aren't responding sometimes, need to have patience to write something

I succesfuly connect to internet by wifi so it shouldn't be a problem while waiting for me to work next morning

hoping i can fix this by flashing the full RUU i already have when i first had this phone

This morning after ariving to the office i do the RUU instantly

After the process is done i have big hope the phone will work normally again, but instead i'm having a bootloop, the phone went to white screen with HTC logo and it turns off then booting up again till that sweet HTC splash screen again :(

I follow the OP's instruction with no success at all

I almost remember all the instruction words by words on tutorial point 4.4.2 LOL

FYI, before the radio is missing i was using latest SLIMKAT Stable

Uh, this is what fastboot getvar all gave me from the phone after the RUU process

[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
yes it is ok

by the way if you change your cid to supercid(since you are on S-OFF) you can use any ruu.exe you want
[HTC Sensation] groovepeppy:
it was done simply just like that?

i mean only by typing fastboot oem writecid 11111111 in the fastboot mode?

cause my time today at work is way too long for today, if it will like fixing the reboots i will do it now :p
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
after that command type fastboot reboot bootloader

to check if it changed type fastboot getvar cid

yes, now just run the RUU.exe am i right?

as usual

the specific ruu you could run it without changing the cid

nevermind
[HTC Sensation] groovepeppy:
well, flashing went fine but i still have the bootloop

it was bit better cause now i reach the startup tone, the tone itself didnt have the chance to finish cause the phone shuts with a bit low tone like there was a glitch in the system :( it sounds like 8bit games, TAT! if you get what i mean :(

thank you for this, i should go home now, maybe tommorow i'll ask more question if you dont mind

Hello, pls forgive, I can not remember all the steps, I followed the thread a couple of times, never quit till the scree was back. But after all my internal SD-Card was corrupted, formatting didnt work. So I followed the thread to install the ROM on the external SD card. The phone works again now, but it is terrible slowly. So I bought a new one...wiko bloom, and I was very happy with it :)
