Is my Sensation bricked or not?

[fallen_apple]

Hello, guys. I'm new here, so please dont hate me.

I think I've bricked my Sensation.
So, here's the deal. My Sensation was unlocked and S-OFF, I was using Ivanich's CM 12 and my phone started to work real slow. Then I read somewhere on XDA that changing data partition to f2fs can speed it up a bit. So I tried to change partition in TWRP and it stucked saying formating or something like that, I waited for 30-40 minutes but no result. And I removed the battery. Since then Twrp says "cant mount \data,\system,\cache" and so on. I tried to format it back to ext4, but no luck. I think my internal sd corrupted.
The next thing I tried was to install RUU, but it also stucked on 37%. (I checked that it stucks on <bootloader> [RUU]WP,dzdata,0).
So now I've got my Sensation stucked in RUU mode, with silver HTC logo and 4 triangles in the corners. I can't go to recovery and anything, but fastboot works.
And here's the main question: can I make it back to work or is it completely dead and i can throw it away?

P.S. I've read lots of threads with simillar problems and as far as I see this is the end for my phone. Just needed one last confirmation from someone more experiensed than myself.

I realy liked my Senny, but maybe it's time for upgrade?

Thanks for your reply
Yes, I've read this thread and it seems to work, but the thing is that I'm stuck in RUU mode and can't boot to the recovery. The only thing I see on the screen of my phone is silver htc logo and 4 warning logos in the corners.

did you try to use the command fastboot reboot bootloader from ruu mode?

Meh, it seems to be a lost cause.
I had an exact same issue. /system, /data and /cache partitions got completely messed up, with no hope of restoring them.
The only possibilities for fixing that seem to be changing the emmc chip... or somehow plugging it under Linux disto and completely rewriting the partition table. In theory it should work, but I have completely zero clue how to get to it.

Darn, if only Android/ARM would be as simple to fix as x86 systems.
Oh well, At least I have a nice paperweight. A shame

Screw TWRP. Someone failed to test their software and we are paying the price.

Yes, I tried, phone reboots but nothing changes. Just same RUU mode htc logo on the screen

God damn TWRP!
So for now I think my Senny is a useless peace of gear. Maybe someday people find out how to fix this issue, I hope:fingers-crossed:

I have the exact same problem. Bootloader is unlocked and fastboot is working, and I even succeeded in flashing recovery (at least no error showed up when doing so), but when I try to get into recovery mode or simply boot the phone, HTC splash screen shows up and lasts indefinitely. Is there a solution for this?

Try redownloading the recovery (download 4EXT, avoid TWRP at all costs!), and reflashing it.
It might be a CRC error.
