[HELP] ****ed up Sensation XE topic

Hello,
I think I'm in a real big trouble.

background story:
I was on ARHD 7.3, S-off, Firmware 3.33 Uni. Suddenly after about a month of use, phone started to lose signal. I could recover the signal only with a reboot (hidden menu options and airplane mode didn't help).
I thought it was a problem with the ROM so I've installed an Official RUU RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.153 after installing 3.33.401.x firmware. This didn't solve the problem I had, signal still was going off few times a day and each time I had to reboot. Furthermore, I've lost my IMEI Number, I got a new IMEI number 355195000000017 which I googled and found more people with that number. However the IMEI change didn't interrupt anything.
Realizing that RUU didn't help I've decided to go back to Mike's ROM ARHD 7.3. (after unlocking bootloader again and etc..)

Then the problem started:
com.google.process.gapps and acore.process.android and basically all the phone started to crash. Nothing helped, I've tried to reflash ROM, reflash Google Package, Nothing. Suddenly, the phone was bricked. won't charge, won't boot.
However a very strange thing happened. Suddenly I could boot Into HBOOT (maybe the phone didn't had enough battery power before).
But the HBOOT was getting stuck, I couldn't do anything So I've used the Ultimate Recovery Tool and downgraded my HBOOT. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1653777)

The Problem now:
1. I can go to 4EXT recovery but it won't let me flash any ROM, installing is aborted.
2. HBOOT won't let me flash any recovery, boot, etc saying permission denined.
3. Rebooting bootloader doesn't work, it goes just to a black screen with backlight on.
4. I've tried to change firmware with PG58IMG it won't update saying hboot partition update failed failed-pu
5.I've tried to install the previous RUU @fastboot but it says battery power below 30%. I've checked the voltage it was around 3800~ and in the recovery it had like 50% so I don;t think problem lies here.

Information about HBOOT:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.49.0007 <--- Bad Bad HBOOT, I know I did a mistake here.
RADIO-11.24.3504.31_M
OPENDSP- BLAH BLAH BLAH
eMMC-boot

I had superCID but now I have weird CID number: 0418.
I've tried to change to superCID but again, permission denined.

I'm thinking maybe if I could somehow change the superCID then I could update the firmware and then I could run the RUU?


Thank everyone who read this long story
I would be truly grateful for anyone who tries to help me.

[Q] Sensation Recovery Problem topic

Hello,

I was using a HTC Sensation phone with Cyanogenmod 10.1 until yesterday. Last night, it suddenly got itself in safe mode and then booted itself into "volume down + power" screen which you can fastboot, recover, factory reset, etc Then checked and failed to find ".img" files. And when I reset the phone, I got the same screen several times.

The funny thing is right now, the "volume down" and "power" buttons are unresponsive and when press "volume up" button, it works like a "volume down" button! Power button works for opening the phone!

I formatted sd card with help of a card reader and tried to reinstall the cyanogenmod, but i could manage to do it, because power button is unresponsive!

I install adb fastboot, htc drivers, androidSDK, java, etc. but it didn't recognize my device! So I couldn't do it via adb -so I'm not sure usb debugging is turned on.

Here's some information about device:
Unlocked

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate

Need your urgent help :)
Thanks in advance!

[Q] HTC Sensation stuck with Android Kit-Kat after brick topic

Hello,
I have a HTC sensation, that i started rooting and install a custom rom - Kitkat from sultanxda.
All worked perfectly, only that one day i wanted to make a sim unlock, because it was locked in Vodafone Romania.
By mistake, i am not an expert, i've used the comand: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
After this i've got my phone bricked...
I've found Unbriking projet on xda, and with a Linux I have managed on unbriking.
The problem is that now i have S-ON, and i cannot install another ROM, it works only with the ROM that wass installed before bricking.
I cannot get S-off, i have tried Juopunutbear method, but its not working, says to connect the device, and install drivers...
I have tried a lot of method's, i've tried installing a stock RUU, without luck...
I guess that i have to modify my firmware or hboot version, but as I was saying, i am no expert.
I can provide more information, if anyone can help me.
thanks

[Q] Soft bricked Sensation. Please help/ topic

Hi there. I've somehow managed to softbrick my Sensation. It's on a permanent whitescreen/green HTC logo reboot loop.

Booting into bootloader, it says I have...

The looping boot means I can't log in via ADP.

Anyone know how to dig my way out of this hole?

HTC Sensation to LG G2: My Experience topic

There don't seem to be many people making this switch, so I figured I would post my experiences to help anyone who is considering the G2. These are my initial impressions on my second day of ownership. I will update with more insight as I continue my journey.

My History with the Sensation: I've had the Sensation 4G (T-Mobile US) since February 2012. At the time, it was a good phone and among the first crop of US smartphones to get legit ICS. I've used all different ROMs and kernels in my stint with the Senny. Everything from 4.0 to 4.3, Sense, De-Sensed, AOKP, CM, PA, etc.

Why I picked the G2: Any phone I purchase, I expect to keep for 2 years. This means that it must have top-tier specs to remain relevant for so long. The G2 is one of the few phones available in the US with a Snapdragon 800. It has a very small bezel and has all the features you'd expect in a flagship device: 1080p screen and video recording, 2GB RAM, NFC, IR, etc. I chose it over the HTC One and Galaxy S4 specifically because it has a better SoC, better battery, and is just barely bigger (such a small difference you would hardly notice it). Also, despite having a MUCH bigger battery than the HTC One, it manages to be thinner.

First Impressions of the G2: The first thing you will notice going from Senny to G2 is the screen. It is almost a full inch bigger (4.3 vs 5.2), the resolution is full HD, and the pixel density is incredible-surpassing even the iPhone's "Retina Display". Colors are brighter and richer. The screen is just absolutely gorgeous.

The second thing that strikes you is that despite the screen being so much bigger, the phone itself isn't too much of a behemoth compared to the Senny. It is only 1/2 inch (12mm) taller and 1/4 inch (6mm) wider. It's also slightly (2mm) thinner than the Senny, and weighs 5g less. It will certainly take some getting used to, but I expect to be a pro in no time flat.

*Snapdragon 800: Owning the Sensation, you become accustomed to waiting. Opening even simple apps, pulling up the soft keyboard, and switching between apps all involve some delay. This is not true on the G2. It's 2.26 GHz CPU packs four cores and moves through day-to-day tasks without a hiccup. I'm not saying there's never any lag, but it is much more rare and much less painful. With the Sensation, lag was expected and smoothness was the exception. The G2 is the complete opposite: lag is very rare, and doesn't slow you down much at all.

*LTE: This is going to be pretty specific to T-Mobile US. I have been dying to get an LTE phone since T-Mobile launched it. HSPA+ is pretty good, I'll admit, but who doesn't want faster and better? I can confirm that LTE is indeed faster than the HSPA+ I experienced on the Senny. Of course, you have to account for the fact that the Sensation only supports 21Mb, while 42Mb is possible on HSPA+.

Coincidentally I got 39.99Mb on the SpeedTest app, which makes me think that it is throttled. It seems rather unlikely to get almost exactly a round 40 randomly. The LG G2 is capable of T-Mobile's new Wideband LTE which promises up to 150Mb, and I do live in a Wideband market. I'm not sure if my account is throttled due to being prepaid, or maybe the specific area I tested isn't upgraded to Wideband yet. I will certainly update once I have more experience with this phone.

In real-world use (e.g. downloading from the Play Store), LTE actually doesn't seem any faster than the Senny: I get about 20 Mb (2.5 MB/s). Still, latency (AKA lag) on LTE is significantly lower than on HSPA+, and the connection seems less likely to stall.

On a side note, each speed test takes up 70MB! of data. I would suggest anyone who is on a limited plan to use them sparingly. Thank goodness my plan gives me 5 gigs.

*Battery: This is another major reason I picked the G2 over the One and S4. It packs a 3,000 mAh non-removable battery. This is the first phone I've ever owned without a swappable battery, and that's because it's one of the few that meets my standard for such a device: If the battery is spectacular, I don't need it to be removable. You can read the praises of the G2's battery life from one end of the web to the other. I'll just share my experience thus far, which is admittedly limited.

Day one: Took off charger at 4pm (initial charge). Plugged in at midnight. 8 hours total on battery, 6 hours on LTE and 2 on Wi-Fi. One firmware update downloaded and installed. All apps updated to latest version on LTE. 3 hours screen on time. Battery left at midnight: 60%!

Day two (today): A little over 10 hours on battery. 4 on Wi-Fi, 6 on LTE. Pretty typical usage. Some texting, light web browsing, checking Facebook, Words With Friends, etc. Screen on time 1 hour 21 minutes. Battery left: 83%!

By this point, even with my standard battery saving measures on the Senny (Wi-Fi sleep activated, mobile data disabled except when manually activated) I would easily be down to 65%. The G2, with Wi-Fi sleep disabled and mobile data always on I am doing much better. 6+ hours of screen time is attainable on the G2 without any special measures! Getting much more than 4 on the Senny is practically impossible no matter what you do. I have seen users on the G2 forum who can get 9+ of screen on if they take typical steps like lowering brightness and managing mobile data.

In conclusion, you will be in complete awe if you move from the Sensation to the G2.

[Q] Sensation XL Runnymead + ClockworkMod Recovery topic

I just bought a preowned HTC Sensation XL with Cyanogen Runnymead Android 4.2.2 Jellybean operating system and it seems the Cyanogen system is interfering with some of the phones functions.
1. Some outgoing phone calls suffer from a loud whistling noise.
2. When turning off the phone and plugging in a charger.... the phone reawakes, stops charging and implements clockworkmod recovery menu, of which I have no understanding.
3. The phone is unable to recognise the contact list from a sim card.

How can I simply and easily restore the phone safely to stock Android 2.3.5?
