Device won't start

Willem1981 · Apr 17, 2013

I have a Sensation Vofafone branded but it does not start

Someone a idea on how to fix it?

Hi,

What recovery do you have?
If you have 4 EXT ,then , try using smartflash to install a STOCK ROM
Choose the correct one for your phone.

If not ,look HERE , and install 4 EXT

writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)

Is there not a way to change the cid or something?
Also if i use ADB command i get this error"

Three questions.
S-ON or S-OFF?
ROM?
HTCDev Unlock?
Malybru is right to ask you to use SmartFlash, but we need to establish if you're still S-ON and if you're still using stock.

Hi,

Try method 3 from joaquinf's thread , using the PG58IMG.zip

The bootloader does not seems to find the PG58IMG.zip file on the sdcard.
It just tells me "no image"

I just need to verify this.
In other words, your phone is 100% stock. Not rooted, and not modified in any way?

If yes, this is why you cannot use fastboot. Your phone needs to be either S-OFF or you need to use HTCDev Unlock.
To achieve S-OFF, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631

Hi,

He must have used

Code:

fastboot getvar all

in order to get the printout in his first post.

You know what I mean! He can't use fastboot to flash or erase anything. For diagnostics information, yes of course it'll work.
He could probably get away with fastboot rebootRUU to flash a recovery but he won't get far.

The RUU update is running at this moment. No idea why it runs now. Yesterday it did give a error that the RUU file was older then the main version.
I hope it will boot when it is done.

You can flash an RUU with the same ROM/HBOOT as you have installed, or a higher version. It's to stop a customer from bricking his or her phone.

Hi,

If you have a completely stock ,unrooted , locked phone ,then, why not send it back to where you bought it?

Apologies, you need to have your phone booted into Android for that to work.
As Malybru said, if you've not had the phone long. You can return it. Are you still under warranty?

If not, we can attempt to correct this.

Warranty is expired.

Would you mind if I ask you to flash a Europe release RUU?
If you're willing to, http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...0U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_280871_signed.exe

I will try it
The phone CID is VODAPE17, so will that work?

I'm hoping it will. If not we can manually extract the system.img and flash it.
