No? No one? Darn it.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
the firmware is a MESS !!! how did the phone survived ? :eek::eek:

i'll tell you briefly

1. The firmware version says ..its TMOUS phone ->sensation 4G

2. your model id says the phone is of your Mexican carrier

3. The cid says the phone European unbranded one

What i would strongly suggest to ensure that phone stays in shape is

1. go back to your original cid ..get the correct cid from here

and the command is ...fastboot oem writecid <yourcid>

2. if you unlocked the bootloader ..relock it

command is ... fastboot oem lock

3. wait until FOOTBALL gives you the stock RUU ..once you got it ..flash the RUU after doing step #1 and step #2
[HTC Sensation] alexsahka:
I also have boot loop could you help me? Please.

Hi can anyone help me?

My HTC Sensation 4G Tmobile US phone is in Boot Loop with no access to recovery. I already tried everything else for last 3-4 days read tons of topics but no luck.

here is my phone info:

(bootloader) version: 0.5

(bootloader) version-bootloader: 1.23.0000

(bootloader) version-baseband: 11.23.3504.07_M2

(bootloader) version-cpld: None

(bootloader) version-microp: None

(bootloader) serialno: xxxx

(bootloader) imei: xxxxx

(bootloader) product: pyramid

(bootloader) platform: HBOOT-8260

(bootloader) modelid: PG5810000

(bootloader) cidnum: T-MOB010

(bootloader) battery-status: good

(bootloader) battery-voltage: 3829mV

(bootloader) partition-layout: Generic

(bootloader) security: off

(bootloader) build-mode: SHIP

(bootloader) boot-mode: FASTBOOT

(bootloader) commitno-bootloader: baf31577

(bootloader) hbootpreupdate: 11

(bootloader) gencheckpt: 0

When I select recovery no matter what recovery.img, boot.img or hboot.img has been loaded, I get the same result white screen with green HTC logo keep rebooting every 15 sec. When loading RUU files no errors everything smooth but still loops. I have only access to HBoot and FastBoot. For 3 days I got past the boot loop once, phone was working fine for 24 hours until I unchecked fastboot (or restart I can't remember: something under settings), and after that my phone goes to boot loop again.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
OK did you unlocked the bootloader over SOFF?

If so relock the bootloader again... Command fastboot oem lock

Then flash the ruu again.. Make sure you have ics tmous ruu

Im asking that because the hboot you are currently having is not of ics.. And it's highly likely that it is causing the issue for you.. ICS hboot starts from 1.27.0000
[HTC Sensation] alexsahka:
I did hboot 1.23.0000 for purpose, one of the topics on this forum suggested, in case of boot loops using hboot 1.23.0000 with ICS stock ROMs.

But now I'm trying to flash RUU after locking bootloader. Wait a minute after rebooting my phone, in boot loop again.

(bootloader) version: 0.5

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Flash again please the same ruu.. Make sure the hboot stays locked

Sometime two flashes are needed...

Also if this failed again

Flash gingerbread tmous ruu.. Then try to boot up

Flashing ruu.. Will cleanup any corrupt internal partitions just fyi
[HTC Sensation] alexsahka:
Flashed 3 times ICS room - loop, GinderBread twice still loop???

MD5 checked before flashing.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
md5 for ruu?

Did you used PG58IMG.zip?

If ruu didn't helped you then it's issue in hardware level

One last test... As you are SOFF.. Flash a 1.27 patched hboot (use kgs tool or flash a universal firmware).. Then flash 4EXT recovery.. Then flash any AOSP/CM9/AOKP/CM10 rom.. And try to boot the device
[HTC Sensation] alexsahka:
I used exe ruu files, and I checked MD5 just in case (4 days now, sleeping 4-5 hours http://xdaforums.com/images/icons/icon12.gif)

And I will do the last test with 1.27. And maybe you right I have a hardware issue.

The whole situation is very strange, like I mention before it was perfectly working phone for about 24 hours (in middle of the whole mess), but when it fully restarted I got loop again.
[HTC Sensation] alexsahka:
How I'm going to flash custom ROM if recovery option give me nothing but loops. Is any way to flash CustomROM.zip file from fastboot?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
well ok if you cant flash recovery

try booting into the recovery using this command

fastboot boot recovery.img

if you were able to boot into recovery ...flash the custom rom from there
[HTC Sensation] alexsahka:
fastboot boot recovery.img

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 1.178s]

booting...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 1.187s
[HTC Sensation] alexsahka:
OK my mistake I forgot Hboot was OEM after RUU, so I changet to eng and still error but different:

creating boot image...

creating boot image - 5570560 bytes

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 1.464s]

booting...

FAILED (remote: reproduce boot image with on-flash ramdisk error)

finished. total time: 1.503s
[HTC Sensation] alexsahka:
Not working, same result as from hboot white screen with HTC logo and loop. So I can't install any custom ROM.

Is there any other ways?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Then I'm out of ideas.. Actually the ruu should solve it.. It didn't means mostly hardware issue
[HTC Sensation] alexsahka:
Now, I'm going crazy (nothing to lose) I erased recovery from fastboot no loops, when I select recovery fastboot returning back to hboot.

Is this meant something or not?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
If you erase recovery and select recovery then going back to fastboot is normal but if you flash recovery fine but can't enter it (loop) then that's not normal
[HTC Sensation] alexsahka:
Is this meant boot can't access to specific memory address?

Can I format recovery partition under fastboot?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
The fastboot erase command will do partition equivalent work

The error seems like it has a bad block in boot partition.. Thus causing the issue

Anyways for fastboot you can use this as reference

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot
[HTC Sensation] suquet.paul:
Fastboot doesnt let me change my CID.... And I dont know what my Stock CID is. I found some data I wrote down the day i originally rooted (like a year ago); and apparently my original CID is BSTAR301; but still; fastboot doesnt change my CID...

My carrier is the company that sold me the phone, and yes it is a mexican carrier; Iusacell.

I already have the RUU, but it doesnt do a thing, i suppose its because of the wrong cid?

*** Apparently, I can't change the CID because I'm S-ON. To get S-OFF I should use revolutionary; but my hBoot version es 1.27 (NOT supported). So, I should use Juopunutbear; but to run Juopunutbear I need to be BOOTED with USB Debugging; and I can't get anything else than FASTBOOT.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
1.what error you got after trying to change the cid ?

2. you need to have your carrier specific RUU (mexican Iusacell one ) that only can flash as of now
[HTC Sensation] suquet.paul:
(1):

C:\Android\Android>fastboot oem writecid BSTAR301

...

(bootloader) pyramid_init_sd, SD card power on ok

(bootloader) [SD_HW_ERR] SD: No device attached

(bootloader) [8x60] Disable SD power ok!

(bootloader) [JAVACARD_ERR] SD Init error

OKAY [ 2.229s]

finished. total time: 2.232s

(2):

I already have the specific RUU for Iusacell, but it doesnt do anything. I am assuming its because of the CID my phone currently has.

I haven't been able to use my phone for over a month now...

Apparently, I can't change the CID because I'm S-ON. To get S-OFF I should use revolutionary; but my hBoot version es 1.27 (NOT supported). So, I should use Juopunutbear; but to run Juopunutbear I need to be BOOTED with USB Debugging; and I can't get anything else than FASTBOOT.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Hmm

Is the ruu of ICS one?

Can you post the complete name of ruu here..

Also after trying that cid change which apparently failed.. Can you reboot to bootloader again and check the cid (in some cases it throws error but it does change.. Hope that's the same case for you)

To reboot bootloader

fastboot reboot-bootloader

And to check cid

fastboot getvar cid
[HTC Sensation] suquet.paul:
Yeah, I did the fastboot reboot thing, and getvar all (or just cid), and the wrong one is still there.

The full filename of the RUU i got is:

RUU_Pyramid_BSTR_Iusacell_MX_1.45.513.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_216979_signed.exe
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
This ruu won't work.. You need ics one... The one you are having is of gingerbread..... Get the ics one..
[HTC Sensation] suquet.paul:
What if my carrier never released the ICS update? Plus, my carriers RUU wouldnt work because my CID is changed, right?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Yes that's the problem now

The previous ruu you tried have matching cid but non matching mid.. And it didn't worked

That's why u asked you to try the ruu which has vice versa of it..

I.e matching mid but non matching cid

But I doubt that will work too..

I'm actually out of ideas as to what to try will ping this thread once I got a better solution :(
[HTC Sensation] suquet.paul:
Is there another RUU i could flash, just to get the phone to actually load an operating system THEN get S-OFF and root, and then do the downgrade? Or just flash any other ROM..

Would that work?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
for any RUU to flash you need to be supercid and to be supercid you need SOFF and to be SOFF you need working ROM :(
[HTC Sensation] suquet.paul:
Maybe this procedure: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23078349

Risky, I know. Actually I already did this, when I needed to downgrade and get stock to send the phone for warranty; which worked perfectly... But then I messed up in another way... lol

Or what about the "adding your CID" to the supported CID list on a MID-compatible RUU? I'm sorry for asking stuff that might (dont know) be ridiculous; but Im desperate, man.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Follow what Ganeshp tells you. He is very wise and if anyone can help you it's him. Only follow what he says or you can; mess up your device even more. He's the guru if it can be fixed, he will walk you through it. Wait for his answer or private message him. He's the very best at this!
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
you can try the brick and unbrick ..process but its risky ..you could try that if you want

the other method wont work as the signature fails :(
[HTC Sensation] suquet.paul:
Well, I'm usually not a risk taker, but I got a new phone and this is just my backup phone (which is brain dead now; i got a unlocked Galaxy Nexus, and I liked the Nexus environment so much, I intend on fixing the Sensation, selling it, and getting a Nexus4).... So, I really have little to lose.

I'll give it a shot and I'll let you know how it goes.

Like I said, I've done the procedure before (when I had the "QHSUSB_DLOAD" issue); and the procedure was not only a success, but quite easy and quick. I remember I used a TMOUS ruu back then, as I didnt have the IUSACELL RUU, and it went fine.

Now my issue aint the same, but according to the XDA forum of the "unbrick" procedure, the requirements are, amogst other things; "a device bricked by writing security flag 3 with an unsigned hboot, or caused by a damaged hboot via interrupted OTA update/RUU flash on a S-ON device"... I don't have the security flag 3 thing, but I do have a damaged hboot. It wasn't caused by an interrupted OTA/RUU, but a non-compatible RUU was the cause of the bootloop in the first place.

I suppose its a coin toss. May or may not work. My reasoning is simple; of course I dont want to end up with a bricked phone; but; this ain't the newest phone. Development isn't really being made on this, so for my issue to have a real fix could take months if in fact there will be a fix some day. So, might as well give this a shot. The phone has been in a drawer for the past month anyway.

Wish me luck guys. I'll let you know as soon as this is over. Be it for better or for worse; and I'll try to detail as much as I can, for future reference.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] HyperShad0w:
I am a semi-noob here, meaning I have some experience in flashing roms on samsung phones but things like nvflash on transformer prime confuse me. I can't seem to find a clear enough explanation on what it really is (does it save some important files that somehow allow you to bring back the tablet from a brick?), how it's applied or how it is normally used when it is needed.

I've been wanting to flash the official JB stock rom (all other roms have been disappointing so far) but everyone says nvflash is highly recommended, so until I learn what it's all about I'm not willing to go any further.

Can anyone point me to a simple enough guide?

On a separate note, can anyone tell me how I would go about flashing twrp again safely after flashing stock JB?

Got a question about data stored under the document viewer app. I noticed that the stock document viewer app is using about 2.5gb worth of data storage. I only have the 8gb nexus 7 so that's definitely storage I could use. That's not normal right?

You have 2GB of data associated with that app. Figure out what that data are, and if they are not important, hit the clear data button.

I haven't seen anything like that before. My total app + data is 11.5 MB.

Good luck.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] runedegroot:
Hey people,

This happenned this morning, I was getting ready for school.

Unplugged my phone (Xperia Sola) from the charger and i layed it down on my wallet.

When I wanted to go to the bathroom but my phone was suddenly recognizing a new tag.

So I checked every card I had in my wallet to check wat it was detecting.

It turned out to be my ID-card ( It's a european ID-card ) and I can use it as an NFC tag just like the ones from Xperia.

This means you can use any RFID tag ( I think it is) as tags using this near field communication.

So I ask my question to a developer:

Could you make some third party app that makes you unlock your phone using one of the assigned Tags?:confused:

I think it sound like a great idea and lets check into this and maybe realize it with a developer who is into the Xperia Sola.

It doesn't especially need to be your ID-card, it could be any tag you link with it.

The ID-card just gave me the ID so it can check if your the right person that belongs to the phone.

runedegroot
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperianPro:
Why someone would want that?

I mean you have unlock button.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] waiflih:
Maybe in case someone else try to use your phone without your authorization
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperianPro:
You can set pin,patern and even face lock.

Still no reason.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] runedegroot:
It was just an idea for developers so maybe they can do something with it ;) Or maybe as extra boot security when you restart your phone. That you need to swipe your ID past it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mrsatan:
NFC doesnt work on the lockscreen. It is a security feature that is implemented by google. Otherwise nfc could be used to take control of your phone in your pocket and such.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LastSoul88:
try search 'nfc retag' at play store.. it can be use to set action for that card. but it cant unlock the phone since nfc did not work at lockscreen..

edit: ok.. you can unlock the lockscreen. but you must use 3rd party lockscreen such as go locker.. ive tried it.. you can even bypass the pattern lock security.. :)
