[Q] Bricked HTC SXL - HTC Sensation XL

Okay.. so I did a stupid act by flashing runny kitkat on my HTC Sensation sxl S-On ... Now i am stuck in a bootloop and i am not knowing how to restore the phone by the ruu since most of them are failing .. i relocked the bootloader btw and i am panicking so much right now
I need help .. please
I wanna either restore the phone, or find a way to install a new rom
I think I need to restore it first to be S-off
Please help me
Thank you very much

There is no need to be s-off (my experience). I installed a lot of roms on this device while it was s-on.
Unlock your bootloader (if you lock it, you won't be able to install any custom rom or recovery, only official roms (ruu's) from HTC)
Boot into bootloader (boot into bootloader with power button + volume down)
Make sure you are in FASTBOOT mode. (If you are in HBOOT mode, you must select FASTBOOT with the powerbutton.)
connect the sensation xl to your pc.
Try to install a recovery (like twrp) via fastboot with the command " fastboot flash recovery ..... .img" (You can find the program fastboot here. It will also come with ADB, but you don't need it (unless you want it).
Boot into recovery (boot into bootloader with power button + volume down, then scroll down to recovery and use the power-button , recovery wil now boot)
In the recovery, format/wipe system, data, cache, dalvic cache.
mount usb storage to your pc. Copy the rom you downloaded to that USB storage. Unmount
Install your rom. (I recommand the pac rom, since the installer of this rom alse provides a better version of HBOOT)
I hope this will work for you and some other people. :silly: Please hit the thanks button if this worked for you and if not... feel free to ask more so i can help you.

Need help with flashing back to stock rom

Background on phone: flashed TWRP recovery 2.4.4 and unlocked bootloader
Installed Paranoid Android custom rom
Do not like low call volume issues, low Bluetooth volume issues, and doesn't recognize my wired headset as containing a mic, people cannot hear me on it.
I am wanting to go back a stock rom. I dont care if its ICS or JB, preferably ICS. It seems the there were many options to going back stock. I tried running the .exe for the RUU, you must have a relocked boot loader. I relocked the bootloader, now i am stuck with a constant loop of booting bootloader, cannot access the recovery.
So i unlock bootloader again, reinstall recovery. Then now cannot load my rom. I keep getting errors in twrp stating it cannot mount the drive(internal sd) Get same error if i try to wipe caches. So i wipe system and rom off. Now I can clear caches and error about mounting internal drive goes away.
Now I am left without a rom. In order to run .exe RUU installer I must have locked bootloader, and have rom running in usb debug, As if right now that's impossible.
My last option is flashing the BORKED rom. My version of twrp is to new, i treid to install an older version and just messed up twrp.
Any help is appreciated, and returning to stock would be awesome. Thanks
OK...
You have a laundry list of issues...
First... You should get twrp 2.5.0.0
Then... Using fastboot...
Fastboot flash recovery (recovery name)
Then reboot to recovery...
Mount USB...
Plug phone into computer...
Hopefully windows will offer to format your internal sdcard...
After that...
If you want BORKED... find wcx recovery... Flash that with fastboot... Then install borked...
Good luck

I'd really be willing to help.. but I leave the internet for a week in a few hours... so I won't be able to help you anymore... so after this answer, I can only help you a week later again.
But secondly:
-Download HTC Sync(http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/)
-Intall it with EVERY component!
-Then uninstall the HTC Sync Manager again, but DON'T uninstall the drivers!!!
-You may proceed a restart to avoid any registry etc. related problems...
-Then connect your phone to the PC and try to get fastboot working...
-Befor you flash a new recovery, type this command:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
-Then flash TWRP(2.6.3.3):
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
(Thanks to your awesome work TeamWin)
-Now you can flash a new OS.. or maybe you can also let a RUU do it's work if you have S OFF..
BUT FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY ONLY FLASH A ROM BELOW 4.4 KITKAT(BEST IS 4.3) BECAUSE 4.4 WITHOUT S OFF WILL OCCURE IN A SOFTBRICK
(Stock OS from here: http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.ch/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html)
(Thanks to @mike1986. for your awesome work)
I hope this worked...
If not... I am back in a week...
A thanks if I brought you a step further would be appreciated

Hey, relax! This happened to me as well, and i found the solution to be very easy. While in bootloader, make sure you connect it to your computer (it should say "FASTBOOT USB", navigate to the ADB folder in the command prompt (on your computer). The easy way is to hold down ctrl and right-click in the ADB folder (assuming you are using Windows) and select open command prompt. Now type "fastboot erase cache". Your issue is now fixed, go into recovery and flash your stock rom if you don't have any relevant backups. And if you want to flash kit-kat, MAKE SURE TO USE TWRP 2.6.3.3 That's it, let me know if you need more help!

Sometimes we have to reboot our PC, shutdown all background/ auto start programs before windows will function properly.
Be sure you have updated your firmware and recovery to 4.4 compatible versions.
flash firmware in RUU mode.
flash recovery in RUU mode.
erase cache in fastboot.
powerdown.
boot into bootloader.
select recovery.
powerdown.
say yes to superuser inststall.
boot into bootloader.
select recovery.
WIPE !!
use OTG or sideload your ROM. then install
Wipe dalvek and cache.
powerdown.
IF YOUR ARE S-ON boot to bootloader once more and flash the boot image from your ROM.
reboot
DONE.

[Q] Please Help!!! DESPERATE! Don't know how to proceed.

Hi Guys ,
Well, my phone begin to have some problems in playing videos and I decided to flash another ROM on my HTC ONE.
My current ROM is [Elegancia_ONE_22.0.0.zip]
My phone specs:
HTC ONE GSM/3G
RUU VARIANT: x.xx.708.x
BOOTLOADER screen:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M7_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RH
Then I follow the above steps to flash a new ROM:
1. Went into CWM recovery mode [version:recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.6-m7ul.img]
2. Chose the the installation from zip on sdcard [Android_Revolution_HD-One_62.0.zip]
3. Followed the installation steps from ROM ui instalation.
4. After the end of installation, the CWM detected that my ROOT needed a fix/update, so I opted for YES.
5. Rebooted the phone by CWM menu option.
6 . Upon start up Im getting the white screen with green HTC logo *freeze*
7. Okay, it did not work.. tried starting in BOOTLOADER to enter in recovery mode again...
8. Once in BOOTLOADER I choose the RECOVERY option
9. Here's the problem: The phone start CWM but soon, the CWM comes out and the phone continues the boot process, freezing again the white screen with green HTC logo.
10 . My CWM is corrupted as I can see. I can not enter the CWM to flash another ROM.
11 . Tried to flash a new CWM using ADB. The ADB does not recognize the device (nothing is displayed by the command ADB DEVICES, besides the driver is ok)
12 . Tried to make the flash recovery using fastboot . So far so good, he can apparently flash the CWM but upon entering BOOTLOADER again to start from recovery mode, the same problem occurs!
What can I do?
a) My root is corrupted?
b) I can flash another ROM using fastboot?
c) I can try using another recovery img?
Help me please! Thank you!

Like it says in the OP of the thread you need TWRP 2.6.3.3 or higher (the part in red):
get TWRP from:
2.6.3.3: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
or 2.6.3.4: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
EDIT: or the one mentioned above
(make sure MD5 is correct, that site does not play nice with download managers)
in bootloader/FASTBOOT USB:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then install the ROM.
right under my f*kng nose!
sorry about that... didn't see this huge warning.
You got me out of the mud :victory:, I've never posted anything on XDA forums, because I do not have experiences to share.
I hope this will be a help for another users anyway..
Im thankful for your help guys! (had already begun to pray.. lol)

I've got a problem with my HTC ONE m7
Tried to install ARHD 81.
So I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and then flashed the ROM.
Rebooted the phone and it stuck to the white HTC loading screen.
Waited for about 20mins. then rebooted the phone. tried flashing the ROM again but no luck there.
So then I did a recovery cache wipe, flashed the recovery, and flashed the ROM again but still stuck.
In desperation I did a wipe... and deleted the actual ROM.zip.
Now I've tried to Sideload the .zip (and original oexed) but get stuck/fail when nearly done.
I've tried to download all the "EU" RUU's and install them but get either error 170 (USB) or error 155 (unknown)
Also tried to download RUU.zip but that didn't work either.
So now i'm stuck! If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great!
Thanks!

Looks like you did not flashed arhd using twrp version 2.6.3.3.
flash twrp 2.6.3.3:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then boot in recovery and adb push arhd:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard/
command prompt will be unresponsive for the duration of the push (5-15 min)
then in twrp 2.6.3.3 select "install" and browse to find arhd zip file, select it and swipe to flash then reboot phone.
forget about using a RUU because all RUU available for your phone require S-OFF. (downgrade)
Thank you so very much!
Works brilliantly now!!
Cheers mate! :highfive:
Waiting for device msg after recovery boot
Hi. Please, help me.
So I unlocked my M7 successfully. Then I've tried to make a recovery - I used CWM: recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.8-m7.
But something went wrong. Here's log:
C:\mini-sdk>fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'... OKAY
booting... OKAY
But nothing happened, just screen with "root menu". I tried volume up and down - nothing. Power button - nothing. When I repeated command I got:
C:\mini-sdk>fastboot boot recovery.img
< waiting for device >
What can I do now? Why it went wrong?
In fact I don't even know what was my Android or Sense version after unlocking.

I rather ask than be sorry, so...
After my newbie recovery flashing I have now TWRP and CWM recoveries. How can I delete them (then I'd like to flash CWM once and proper)?
An second question: I'm not sure how to choose between recovery mode and standard. When I want to get to recovery I do it through fastboot. But is it enough to power down if in recovery and power up for standard mode?
Edit:
When in CW Manager I go to recovery mode I recover in TWRP recovery instead of CWM.

you don't have both recovery's ..when you installed TWRP it overwrites any other recovery. If your goal is to flash roms you want TWRP 2.6.3.3 on their.
What is CW Manager and why do you need it ?

Clockwork ROM Manager. It showed both recoveries - TWRP and CWM. But then I flashed Stock Recovery, then TWRP 2.6.3.3, then ROM, then again... Well, after few hours of searching, trying, learning differences between flash and boot, and adrenaline kicks when my HTC One didn't boot or stuck somewhere I manage to flash ARHD ROM. I'm quite proud of myself. I wonder though how much trash I left on phone after all of this (yeah, we girls like to have everything in order...)
And if I can - few more questions
I noticed that battery drain is much faster - I probably should calibrate it. Is there a best-for-ARHD-app, or any should be ok?
And in some apps, like Goodreads, I have now additional menu bar at the bottom. I'm sure there is some mode for removing it (specially if stock can do that), but I can't find it.

Theirs no left over trash on the phone (except the CW rom manager)
the phone works with partitions. Only one thing can occupy the partition at a time. Whatever you flashed last is all that's their.
The menu bar you mention is only their on GPe roms .. is this what your using ? Their should be no menu bar using ARHD 81

It must be a really bad coded app ..that menu was gone by version 4.3 and your Rom is version 4.4.3 - 6.09.401.10

Yeah, they probably don't care about updating to Google changes. But it's not the same menu as 3 dot menu on Stock which was easy to hide. It's not really menu for an app, 3 dots button doesn't even work and rest of buttons is for phone navigation. Any ideas how to hide it?

I need help regarding HTC One M7_ul 801s PN0714000
This phone has problems with google processes being stopped and it has all kind of chinese apps and bloatware and I would like to install an european rom on it...Phone is s-offed, it has supercid and modelid is PN0711****
Now, I managed to find one kitkat zip file and tried to flash it with "fastboot flash zip" command but i keep getting remote:02 data length is too large...I tried renaming it to PN0714IMG.zip, it didn't help as well...
Is there anything else I should do(beside s-off and supercid) to be able to flash any rom on it, and should I rather go with RUU exe file...if so, can someone please point me out to a place where I can download official roms...I noticed that htc1gury is down...
One more thing, bootloader is locked, phone is not rooted and has no custom recovery installed, and I would like to keep it that way if possible...supercid and s-off were done with Java card, if it is an important info at all...
Please, let me know where I'm making a mistake and if you need any additional info....I apologize one more time if this is a wrong thread or if the answer was so obvious and I was so blind to find it
Tnx in advance....

Hello there,
today I tried to install a Custom ROM on my M7 for the first time.
So I unlocked my device with htcdev.com. Btw: it wasn't possible to skip step 11 and I'm using Mac.
So my device is currently unlocked with S-ON (as it can be seen in bootloader).
I want to flash custom recovery and my problem is step 7. ("In the Command Prompt type following command: fastboot boot recovery.img (this command might not with newer hboots)").
When I try this command (on Mac: fastboot-mac), my phone freezes with both ClockworkMod Touch [OFFICIAL] and TWRP. My hboot version is 1.61, maybe that's the problem as mentioned. But I don't want to flash a recovery, maybe I can't use that device after doing that.
Any tips for me?
Best regards

"fastboot boot recovery.img" was only possible on hboot 1.44. Flash your recovery using "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Use latest TWRP recovery.
thx, it worked. phew
Hello guys,
im new to the HTC world, mostly familiar with Sony devices, have a friend who has given me their HTC which isn't booting up, it only boots to the start screen then goes blank, she told me the phone was charging and there was a power surge wherever she was and since then the device misbehaves and doesn't boot past the start screen.
how can I flash it back to stock, as from my experience it seems like its a software issue.

Redmi 4X bootloop after installing TWRP?

Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble. I had a brand new Redmi 4X, and I was advised to install TWRP, root it, and install the Xiaomi.eu rom until LineageOS is released. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, managed to get into it once and now I can't do it again. When TWRP loaded it asked me for a password for decryption but it let me just skip it it seems (not sure if that is the problem) but now I can't boot normally, I can't boot into recovery, but fastboot seems to work okay. How do I go about fixing this?
I've tried reflashing TWRP but I still can't get to it, and I don't really know enough about this stuff to know where I've gone wrong.
UPDATE - I think this is to do with dm-verity and having the stock kernel installed. Now it's too late to undo what I've already done, so I hope to god that someone knows how to fix this.
UPDATE - Right, the problem is solved I think. I had to do an awful lot of googling, and I'm not entirely sure what it was specifically that fixed it. But I found a guide that taught me the fastboot command "fastboot boot twrp.img" which saved the day. Even when my phone wouldn't let me into recovery, it allowed me to flash a no-verity.zip which i think is what allowed me to boot, and it allowed me to flash superSU.zip and then the ROM I was aiming for. And now I've booted into the ROM successfully and hopefully I am rooted and all is well. Plus I can access TWRP as normal now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Can you boot into TWRP by pressing the buttons so that you boot directly to TWRP??
Have you tried Command Prompt to boot with commands in to recovery??
And if you get into TWRP you should have everything on the SDCard and then just
format all things except SDCard and then flash from SDCard everything
That is what I would try..and yes it ask for a password but just skip it to get to it
If you can get into TWRP to flash from SDCard then you good to go..if not
Google all the commands for CMD..and plug your phone to the PC and flash everything with the
commands.....
Let us know what is working and what not and what steps exectly you are doing
EDIT
Turn off your device > Press and hold “Power” and “Volume +” buttons at the same time.
After short vibration signal release the power button and wait for TWRP to start.
To boot in stock recovery open “Update” app.
In the setting select “Boot in recovery”.

Thanks for the reply. I can't get into TWRP. Even if I could get into TWRP how would I get files on the phone to flash them?
Is it possible to flash any rom from the pc directly and if it is will this possibly help? I think it's not booting because the kernel is still stock.
I'm not sure what you mean in the edit, how do I boot into stock recovery without being able to boot the phone (and when I have already flashed TWRP)?

Hey, I have exactly the same problem. Latest stock rom, flashed twrp in fastboot and got into the boot loop. Nothing works. I can only enter fastboot. What exactly did you do then? What is this no-verity.zip? I can't find anything about it.
I had a problem
I unlocked bootloader then installed redwolf recovery and took a nandroid backup. After that i rebooted to system but stuck into bootloop, could not boot to recovery, could not boot into system, So the only thing worked was that i flashed fastboot rom with mi flasher. And syccessfully rebooted to system with bootloader locked and stock recovery. So, if anyone have same problem you can do the same. How do i install recovery safely again? Should i use TWRP only? Should i flash v3.1.0 with lazy flasher or v3.2 directly without lazy flasher? I don't want to stuck into bootloader again, have to get all data deleted.
