My Sensation might be Bricked!

[lVlaciiiii]

Hey all,
I've searched. For two days straight now, I've searched. I can't seem to find any answers at all! Can anyone please help me?

My Sensation shut off out of nowhere a day or two after flashing ParanoidAndroid. Now, it won't boot up. However, I can still access the Bootloader and ClockWorkMod. I can't flash any ROM or wipe partitions because it keeps saying that 'system is already unmounted. Installation aborted.'

I've run out of ideas!

CWM says that the system is corrupted and that I should format it. I do that, but nothing changes.

Hey mate try to run RUU from your pc because you can access recovery and bootloader. It will flash stock recovery and stock O.S. as well.

Perfect, thanks guys! I've got to go somewhere now, but I'll for sure search up and then do the stock RUU later today. Again, thanks so much! I appreciate it. I'll update here with how it goes.

You could try 'fastboot erase system'

Hey all! I'm back now, after having downloaded the RUU. Problem is, the installer quits after throwing me a 'HTC USB Connection Error'. I don't know how to plug my phone into my computer and have it connect.

I tried connecting to my phone when it was in CWM, in the Bootloader, in fastboot in the Bootloader, and off. No luck. Any ideas?

Did you try a different USB port

Ok, I tried running the RUU on a different computer, and it seems to have connected now! It's going through the installer, so fingers crossed!

While running ruu phone should be connected in fastboot (phone reads fastboot usb)

Right, that's what I did to get it to connect to this other computer to run the RUU. Except now, it's stuck at the first step of the installer ("Rebooting to Bootloader"), and it won't move...

Hey, I you may need to flash the RUU manually.
Here's my guide on RUUs: http://tinyurl.com/RUUGuide
You will need to follow point 4.4.2 .
It's not too difficult, just follow the instructions.

Alright, I'll get on that right now!

Alright, I tried the manual instructions you posted, but I couldn't seem to get them to work. I was in command prompt, typing in the commands, but for some reason, the window just wouldn't finish at all. It wouldn't let me type anything at all.

You could try 'fastboot erase system'

I tried this also, but it just said that "FAILED (command write failed (unknown error))"

I've emailed HTC, but I haven't had a reply yet. I still haven't had any luck trying to format my system, even through fastboot on the computer.

Could I be doing anything wrong?
