Oh my gosh I followed the link to the above thread, not realizing that it was for the Asus Transformer and did a Lite wipe on my sensation and.. bricked, I think. It won't turn on. Is there any way to get it working again????

EEK

I had a look at the scripts and the formatted partitions are completely different.

There are some sensation partition details in: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412618.

Not a clue how you recover from this though, sorry.

Can you get into either the HTC Bootloader or CWM or just nada ?

im guesing you didnt have ext4 recovery, if you did it would have checked the md5 for you either in app or recovery and md5 would have came back wrong correct? looks like different /block/ paths.... dont know if that causes brick though... someone will though...

The Zip file was correct, I guessing, as it unpacked and did its thing.

This issue is that completely wrong partitions were formatted for the HTC Sensation device compared with the Asus. I've just looked at my phone's superwipe (Mike's) and the Asus one (also Mike's), just that they are geared for different devices with different partitions.

Look at Mike's post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 to see something about the partitions.

p1 / p2 are sensation bootloader specific (according to Mike's post), and p7 is pg2fs (what ever that is). That's looking at his post which is talking about the firmware side of things.

CWM or EXT4 Recovery, won't backup all the partitions, just the useful ROM ones like: data, cache, system, sd-ext. There are many other partitions the nandroid backup tools don't attempt to backup.

As someone said in a previous post, ask Mike directly for definitive info.

Not that it helps, but this is why Virtuous ROMs have a device check before they flash. We check the board to make sure it's compatible with the ROM/patch being installed before proceeding. Wish that practice would be adopted more broadly.

Or....or people could read and make sure that what they are flashing is actually for the device they are using....

Still, brain farts happen. I had a couple old NANDROID backups, did a Titanium Backup, wiped the phone and at the same time, to "clean up", deleted the old NANDROID backups in the absolute conviction that I was still covered by Titanium and NANDROID.

The phone was still wiping when I realized my mistake... but it was already wiping when I realized my mistake.

It's good to have safety nets... :)

Wow, thank you so much for everyone's help, I really appreciate it..

And yeah, as for my phone, it won't turn on at all, so no hboot or recovery. I had the recent firmware running with the latest leaked ruu, but I wanted to try Inquisition, so keeping the firmware I installed this rom. I kept stuck on the boot logo, so I decided to try clicking the link someone posted back there and follow his advice by doing his wipe. I had used Mike's script before, and that transformer thread looked just like the sensation one so blah I didn't notice.

The zip installed successfully, and when I selected reboot, it just died and never came back on.

This is actually my wife's phone lol, and her being 5 months pregnant she needs it while I'm at work sigh. Should I take a chance with HTC? I definitely bought it less than a year ago but problem is I got it off Craigslist.
Again, thanks so much for your help.
Also, how do I get in touch with Mike? Though I'm not sure what he could do if my device was really bricked right?

Did you try running the RUU? I'm not sure if the phone will be recognized at its state, but I think it's worth the shot.

If you want to get in touch with Mike send him a PM or post something in his partitions thread I mentioned earlier. You can always hope he'll come up with some magic. Good luck pacifying the wife ;-)

This mods would be really great to see in this rom:

OnceICS 1O7 (1.0.7)

- Change base to 3.12.401.102 IceCream Sandwich 4.0.3
- Update ICS Theme
- Update ICS stock application
- Replace launcher to Trebuchet
- T9 Dial pad (This is really great)

Your rom is cleaner than the above :)

Once this ROM is updated to 4.0.3, you can easily add those things to the ROM if they're not already included.

    Virtuous Inquisition is a an ICS (4.0.3) Senseless ROM, meaning essentially all Sense components have been removed in favor of their AOSP counterparts. Everything except the camera app has been replaced. Any work, such as mods or fixes, you would like to contribute would be gladly accepted. The project has one goal, to provide a ROM which is as close-to-AOSP-ICS as possible.

    • Based off the HTC 3.32.401.5 *release* base.

    • Sense has effectively been removed. Some components may be coming back (such as the camera and music player), as they are better than their AOSP counterparts. I'll provide an option for purists who want AOSP-only-no-matter-what.

    • Remaining HTC framework beautifully themed to match ICS by shnizlon.

    • Stock kernel, not overclocked.

    • Pre-rooted with the latest version of Superuser and modified ramdisk to allow adb remount, mock locations, etc.

    • IO optimizations including the use of ext4 with writeback journaling for all mounts and larger read-ahead buffer for improved sdcard performance.

    • Automated battery calibration. Just plug your phone in after a wipe and charge it to full (preferably overnight), then let our script do the rest.

    • Over the air updates via ROM Manager.

    Important Kernel Files Reset for VI 4.0.2 by Socali

    SebastianFM Kernel v1.4.1, which is included with VI 4.0.2, comes with Sebastian's own thermald.
    This thermald includes, in my opinion, extremely high temps settings. The problem is that those settings are hard-coded and are not read from the thermald.conf file.
    Other kernels are expecting the default thermald and not this custom one, so they are not overwriting it.

    I strongly recommend flashing this before flashing any other kernel. Even in-between flashing different kernels, as different kernels might include other files that need to be replaced/removed.
    This patch will reset kernel related files that exist in the ROM's partition to the original HTC v3.32 default files.
    This does not include an actual kernel - you must flash a kernel after this patch and before rebooting the phone.

    Sebastian Kernel v1.30.2 Underclocked to 1.242Mhz for VI 4.0.2 by Socali

    (This is the same kernel posted by me before, but in a new package that includes the Kernel Reset Patch, so you can simply download and flash one file.)

    This is Sebastian Kernel v1.30.2 hexedited by me to underclock it to 1.242Mhz with a safer (or more conservative) thermald.conf file.
    This gives you kernel closest to the original HTC v3.32 one with Sebastian's MultiTouch fix and ZRAM support.
    I prefer keeping the CPU clock at 1.2mhz so that the CPU stays stable and cool and doesn't drain the battery as quickly.
    I hexedited it instead of recompiling so that I stay as close as possible to Sebastian's build.

    Note: This kernel will give you lower benchmark scores (about 5700-5800 AnTuTu score on my phone). This is not a bug, it's a feature..
