How it got bricked:
I managed to install root, but then I tried to flash the custom recovery, when I restarted the phone, It got stuck at boot logo.
I can still get into the stock recovery, I can use adb shell and see the filesystem. I was using 4.1.2, I think I might need to flash again the stock rom, but I don't know how. Can anyone help please?

How do I know which KDZ file to flash? Or any of the latest should suffice?

I'm sorry if I'm asking something terribly obvious, but I've bought my phone in amazon and neither my country or carrier are listed there, so, I don't know what to flash, will it break my phone if I flash something wrong? I would like to flash something from spain so I can use my native language

U can flash each version of kdz file you want.
I can only get into de SW Upgrade mode when I plug the phone with the battery on it, Is it really important to do it with the battery off?

Just got my first Motorola with this phone, but think I borked it by messing with the radio bands. How does one flash these .xml or .sbf files to restore to original stock?
failed flashing process..unknown fastboot comand
I'm grabbing this for my friend, he can't get the update because he needs Wi-Fi and the phone won't connect to our University's Wi-Fi network. This won't break OTA for him though will it?
It's just as same as if you have applied OTA.
what is the update process?

so what exactly is the update procedure?
Here's what my phone is showing me.
system version: 77.1.7.MB886.ATT.en.US
android version: 4.0.3
Will this update change anything with the bootloader or anything like that?

If you got 4.0.3 we need a copy of your OS before you upgrade. 4.0.3 has vulnerabilities that we need to get root. Sorry I don't know the procedure, but I am sure some dev will be more than willing to tell you.

Just saw this and need to let you know not to do any soft of fastboot or updating without backing up your files. The worry is you flash a retail bootloader and possibly cannot go back if you use these.

yeah, that's why i'm holding out... battery life sucks on the 4.0.3. it barely gets me 8-9 hours with moderate use. i've noticed there are huge drops in the battery level every now and then. i guess i'll just deal with it until we get the root thing sorted out.
is there a way to just mount the system.img.ext4? i've tried ext2explore and i've tried to mount it with Linux Reader. thanks

After removing that, the modem lines and the oem_mode_set one... It still fails on the system.img.ext4.
EDIT: Out of thoughts. Stuck with a fastboot loop. Won't even allow me to turn it off.
I installed beats installer and my phone will not reboot. Any Ideas?
tried the same thing, now stuck at the boot animation. I have tried factory reset as well as downloading the firmware and trying to update from the sd card in recovery. No luck. It is now a brick unless someone can help...

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.

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.

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.

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!
Hello all,
I just flashed CloudyFa's cloudstock rom with the patched kernel and it booted up.
No radio.
So I go on forum and Micromod777 posted a baseband which should work on it and I do a full wipe, flash cloudy's rom, the kernel and then the baseband
Rebooted and black screen of death.
Just a vibration to confirm that it is booted up
Am I screwed?
Any possible solutions?

Try plugging it into linux and seeing if it'll recognize it? If you don't have adb or downloader mode you're probably screwed...

I haven't seen any you could try searching the forums for it, I got hard bricked by freegee a while back so I hope all goes well
These phones usually don't brick too easily. If you can get into download mode then you probably aren't bricked.
Maybe try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370
In the future don't mess with the baseband if you don't know what your doing.
Edit:
If you can't get download mode. There is still a chance but you must use linux.

These should be the files for the VS980 12B, that I quickly just found in the same directory:

In theory it should work, but I have not tested it. Use this at your own risk as a last resort!
Here's the post where I saved my vs980 from a brick. Couldn't get to system, recovery, or download. It's likely the same guide Ploxorz just linked.

Is the phone recognized in fastboot mode? If it is, you can try and flash a stock ATT, Bell, or Mex Retail ROM.

yep, the ROM boots, but no, neither wall charger works. No AC, no data transfer, no charge with pc. Nothing seems to work with it, i'm getting crazy. The only thing that works is run into fastboot and pc recognize it as fastboot mode.

After flashing a stock ROM, try flashing the latest version of CWM and see what happens.
I used RSD to flash back to stock Bell ROM and it would always hang at the Motorola logo. Once I flashed the latest CWM, the phone started to work. Maybe CWM will help in your situation too.
