Phone keeps rebooting - HTC Sensation XL

Hi,
I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice please.
I bought my son a new carrier unlocked HTC Sensation XL. It came with Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread). For the first week it worked perfectly. A message popped up saying there was an update and did he want to install it. He left it on all night with Wi-Fi enabled. Next morning it said update successfully completed and to restart the phone (which he did).
The first most obvious thing he noticed was the interface had changed. I checked the settings and found it had updated to ICS 4.0.3. This is when the problems started. The phone began to restart over and over.
In desperation we tried removing the battery and doing a factory reset. It made no difference. Once the phone was on for about 20 seconds it would restart and not stop until we turned off the phone or the battery went dead.
We even tried the hard reset as suggested by HTC support but no change.
Any suggestions as to how we might fix this?
Is there any way we can get the phone to reset back to 2.3.5 or do we have to send it back to where we bought it from?
cheers

You can download suitable gb and ics roo and flash first back to gb and then to ics:

Would require rooting the phone and installing recovery? The phone is still under warranty but as it was bought online I was hoping not to have to send it back. At the moment it is still stock and I'd prefer not to to do anything that will void warranty.

Nope... Just download compatible roo and flash it.
Maybe something just went wrong at your ics isntall..

Sorry but I'm new at this. I know how to flash a ROM through CWM in recovery mode but no idea about how to do it is a completely stock phone.
Could you point me to how it is done please?

Well first of all you need to know what your cid is and download right ruu/stock rom.
Then just plug your phone in to computer when fully rebooted(usb-debug on) and run downloaded gingerbread exe.

So I should get the Gingerbread RUU not the ICS?

If you can find the right ones, download both.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using xda app-developers app

Exactly, first back to GB and then again update to ICS. Maybe you could use one of these to make it a bit easier.

Many thanks guys. I appreciate the help.

If you have debugging enabled just get adb for your computer, open command line, cd to the directory of adb the execute 'abd getvar cid' and get your cid, then go online and find the ruu that suits your cid and phone, the run it on windows and just follow the prompts!
And done!

HELP! I can't boot my tab and I can't get into recovery!

Step by step what I did:
I rooted my tab via this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812367
I then installed bootstrap (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=981307), and after going through the steps and restarting I can't get into recovery or anything. It just sits at the logo.
How do I just reset it to factory?
If I completly broke this I think I'm going to puke... Can somebody give me a little bit of hope or help?

1st question .. is your tab unlock ?
2nd if not , means you gonna reflash your stock rom again via odin
3th . maybe you can use P1_add_hidden.pit via odin and press start and maybe its work , but 80% its work if didn't work u have to go for step 2

Obihannm, I did the same yesterday.
You need the original stock firmware for your galaxy and Odin for flash it again.
Look for sam firmware in the google to grab your stock kernel, tools and guides for recovery.
With luck and patience, it is possible ressurrect your tab, but It will back unrooted and maybe you get a locked bootloader.
Just go here and follow attached guide guide.
Thanks guys, I will be up late trying this for sure. I noticed that this probably should live within the QA area not Genreal, so if a Mod or Admin wants to move it, please do.

That would end up with me having gingerbread correct? Should I try to first restore it to factory since right now I can't even enter recovery? Or is it a moot point and I may as well go forward get gingerbread on it?

You dont need to enter any recovery at all. Just "download" mode.
Go and read the guide.

OK, a few deep breaths and some "reading" (a new concept for me it seems) later I think I have a bit of a better understanding.
So reading through the overcome guide and a few other threads I think my issue is I must have had a protected bootloader, and that bootstrap program would have frigid that up (there probably was a warning if I slowed down). So that means my issue is my bootloader... Am I correct thus far?
If this is true, does this mean my current rom is actually fine, and fixing my bootloader is my #1 goal?
From there I can insteall the overcome rom, the normal gingerbread rom, or go back to stock? As I see it overcome/gingerbread is the best option.
Just install the stock rom, once back to normal if you have a locked bootloader patch it

I read through the guide you linked to as well as this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078622). You suggest I only need to access "download" mode, which I discovered how to do last night. Should Heimdall or other applications be able to see my device via download mode? Or is there a step I am missing.
As well I noticed in the guide you linked me it references patching the bootloader if it is locked, do I need to patch my bootloader or replace it completely as it seems to be broken?
I want to learn this stuff, this I read, and now I am asking. Again all help is appreciated.
Heimdall doesn't seem to do anything at all. I followed the guides as I best understood, and when it came time to hit the start button it instantly said completed with no actual results...
Any ideas?
a coworker was nice enough to help me out, using the stock rom with an unlocked bootloader he was able to bring it back for me. I'm now running froyo, rooted, and a unlocked boot loader so I should have no issues putting overcome on it.

[GUIDE]One Click Return to Stock i9020t/23

This script returns to unrooted, factory state android 4.0.4.
1. Download this zip - Quicker download here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?pzrzrt3583rgbmf
2. Backup your phone (everything! sd, apps, games etc).
3. Plug in your phone, turn on USB debugging.
4. Unzip the downloaded files.
5. Open run.bat
6. Type in Y then press enter.
7. It does the rest.
Had to do this since i'm sending off my phone to samsung, basically used this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167819&highlight=unroot
and updated the images for 4.0.4 and for i9020t/23 (this won't work for nexus 4g or i9020a). It worked well for me so I thought someone else might find it useful.
If you're having problems it's probably because you haven't installed the windows drivers correctly, I can't really help you there (google it or something!)
If you want to thank anyone, go to the other thread and thank michaelpeerman. All credit goes to him.
Edit: By request, someone wanted the same thing but for 2.3.6, so here is the link for that

Hi there!
Is the One CLick 2.3.6 edition compatible with 9023?
I have a i9020T stock 4.0.4 never rooted. If I run the 2.3.6 script,will it go back to stock 2.3.6 without problems?

My understanding is that you require root to flash any ROM, this would be no exception. It wouldn't be that hard to root and then run the tool though.
But there'll be no problem rolling back to 2.3.6 from stock (rooted) 4.0.4?

Hi,
I got a really f******g problem with my NS. The power button is out of service. Thus my only aim is to get back to the unroot locked bootloader rom in order to send it to samsung.
I tried to do that manually with cmd.
I tried via Odin
I tried via your one click zip
I used my computer (the one i used to root it for the first time, guessing the drivers didn't change). Everytime, the command got stuck at 'waiting for device'. I thought it was a driver problem, tried to reinstall sdk, reinstall drivers. I'm still blocked at waiting for device.
I tried with another 'virgin' computer. I installed PDAnet to get drivers and make sure they work. (tried CMD or with your one click zip..) I'm still still stucked at waiting for device. However, my device do is recognised by both computers..4
Any idea?
Is my ****ing power button messing around?
Two days i'm drudging on this.. I'm thinking about suicide by now..

Sorry mate I really have no idea, maybe you could try calling up samsung and ask them if they would repair it even if you rooted? It is a developer phone and so they must understand that most people with a Nexus S root it..
I'm looking to sell my NS so wanted to get it back to stock and this script worked perfectly. Thanks so much!

Are you on stock kernel? If so then flash some safe kernel and try full wipe, if that too doesn't help, then flash stock firmware using pc odin.
I am assuming you are on ICS, as you didn't provide any info. You should have mentioned the method used for root and everything.

Take it to a samsung service center and ask them to reset the phone. Tell them its too slow after the latest update using kies. If there is a problem with the motherboard they will report back and replace under warranty.
Else they will install the OS completely new and you can start from scratch to root and install other custom roms.
Try using USB jig to go to download mode, try it first. Jig is not expensive.

Then if it's not bricked why i need to remove the battery for 1 hour and wait an other 2 hours to finally open my phone after a simple turn off? Thats why i want the warranty so i can take the phone to samsung and fix this issue. And im afraid to unroot it cause when ever i try to put my phone on recovery mode its stucks and take for ever to open againm\

HTC Incredible S

Hi im from australia and i accidently wiped my phone and data but before that i had rooted the phone and well accidently deleted the OS cause my phone kept freezing on HTC anyway i need the RUU for my Htc but i keep getting error 140 and my phone is on RELOCKED so could anyone link a RUU for my phone Thank you
I believe that error means you are trying to run an old RUU.
You can download a new one from htcdev website I think.
Why don't you unlock your bootloader and just flash a custom rom?

Yep. I had the same issue. I wasn't able to install the original RUU.
Try Nik rom. It is very good, faster and fiable, better than the HTC RUU. You just need to unlock your phone through HTCdev, falsh the recovery and flash bootload, and then install the rom.

The 3.0 version is better and works pretty good.

Ok, just download it and place it in the root of your sdcard device. Then with Rom manager (or in recovery mode with clockworkmod) choose option "Install Rom from SDcard", than chose the rom you placed in the SDcard and follow the instructions. I recomend a full wipe.
Finally flash the boot image with the boot.img file of this rom (I am attaching the file) and it's done. This rom works very well.

4.3 update messed up my phone

I have rooted HTC one google edition. I received a new official updated that I installed through twrp, after installation it told me that root access was lost and i could restore it by pressing restore root access option. Since then i cant get past the Google screen. My phone basically gets to Google screen then restarts, gets to Google screen and restarts. I tried factory reset, did not help. What should i do?
If you have a Google Edition rooted phone, it shouldnt have installed the OTA with a custom recovery installed. You'll likely have to use the RUU in the original dev thread. you'll want to backup your sdcard via adb cause the RUU will wipe everything.

The RUU won't help anyway. It's not signed therefore will only install on s-off phone.

what does device manager say?
if it says something like QHUSB_Download mode, you're screwed, get it swapped out
if you can get to the bootloader, you can probably install a recovery again and install a stock 4.2.2 or 4.3 rom and get back up and running.

I can get to bootloader and i can also get to twrp. But the thing is i cant download anything to my phone because i cant access it through my computer, i hear the sound when i plug it in but i dont see the device in "My Computer"
Learned the hard way.
Your phone is not recognized, because you haven't updated your ADB and Fastboot files on your computer. Once, you do that.. You will need to download hboot 1.44 that gunnyman has in the 4.3 thread via RUU. After that is done find yourself, the RUU from whatever provider your phone is running under.. Ex: Dev or Tmo or ATT etc etc.. That should fix you up. I did this to my device once messing around with it.. But my problem also was with a locked boot loader that had 4 exclamation triangles on each corner.. No boot screen for start up even came up.. Just back to the boot loader of doom.

then all is not lost. you're having either a driver issue or trying to use a usb 3 port or something like that.
boot to recovery
type adb devices
if it gives a number you can sideload a ROM.
download this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390346
it's stock rooted 4.3
sideload it in twrp
start the sideload mode in twrp
type adb sideload then the name of the rom. the rom will push to the phone and then install.

i was just gonna link him to that thread. i think a factory reset *might* get it to boot tho. worth a try.

He obviously has some sort of thing going. It clearly states in his OP, FYI. That he "was" rooted "before" the update. Umm & if he can get into boot loader & TWRP Recovery... He still has a chance.
