[Q] Finally i bricked my HTC SENSATION !!!!

[DennisBold]

Fail-PU errors generally correspond to firmware corruption
Which is pretty hard to solve
If Op can exactly tell flashing what caused this issue
Maybe we can have a chance

Btw can the phone go to recovery?

Also how did the patched hboot flash went?

- Fail-PU next to the bootloader line

i found this command

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

i think this will return me back to s-on

but can i s-off my phone from hboot ??? if i want

or it's useless this command for me ?

Sticks and stones would probably be a lot more useful if you try that command. You'll brick the device. As long as it's still responding, you've got a good chance. @ganeshp is a great help, and since I've not dealt with Fail-PU (which I thought was due to bad blocks) you'll be better off with his advice, and can you boot in to recovery?

You could try the HTC unbricking project, but I'm not sure how that'll work for you.

I'd imagine you would have to be in QHUSB_DLOAD mode to do it, but there's a chance of permanently bricking it. Wait for ganeshp to reply in case he has a simpler way to re-flash firmware.

I cant solve this
If recovery partition is working we could dd the rest of partitions but thats not the case
The Problem is firmware corruption (in which case jtag or the unbricking thread might work )or bad blocks (which correspond to EMMC fail and needs a motherboard replacement )


EDIT: Ohh WAIT did the problem happened after radio flash ?
Then we can solve it I think (Ive solved a smilar case long back ago via remote desktop)

Try this (its our only hope)

copy a recovery.img (preferrable 4EXT ) to your adb/fastboot directory

connect the phone from bootloader

and this

fastboot boot recovery.img

tell me if it booted

ahh bummer locked hboot is preventing you from flashing/booting anything
Im sure we can solve it if we can boot to a recovery (Ive skimmed through my past PM's where ive helped the other guy who did a corrupted radio flash and fallen into same situation ..but fortunately he still had the patched hboot intact and was able to do "fastboot boot recovery.img")

anyways try HTC-DEV unlock
instructons here (you can skip through Android-SDK installation ..its to get adb/fastboot which you already have )

anyways try HTC-DEV unlock
instructons here (you can skip through Android-SDK installation ..its to get adb/fastboot which you already have )

i tried it and i got my Unlock_code.bin file

now once i flashed it it says :

sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
OKAY [  0.157s]
writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
OKAY [  0.015s]
finished. total time: 0.182s

now basically here, my phone goes to the disclaimer screen of the htc-dev

but my device stayed at the boot loader

i said maybe i reflash the bin file

so when i reflash the bin it says

sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...
FAILED (remote: loading custom splash failed)
finished. total time: 0.015s

after a third time

downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [  1.518s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.534s

 

[ganeshp]

is the top of the bootloader says UNLOCKED now instead of LOCKED ?

then flash a recovery and tell me how it went

EDIT: did you accepted the disclaimer ? after that you should have UNLOCKED on top

if unlock token sending failed
re-send it again until you get the disclaimer screen (i think you need to go to "yes/accept" using the volume buttons. and select it using power button )

so my phone is dead ???

no no no i don't belive it...

oh my god i just baught it 5 days ago...

com-on guys there must be a sollution any where

the device stil on hboot and it communicates with the pc

now the last result i have is

when i flash the Unlock_code.bin the first time goes fine but the device won't go to the disclaimer screen, it stays in hboot

when i reflash the same file, it tells me FAILED (remote: loading custom splash failed) and the vertical progress bar in hboot appears (empty)

when i flash the Unlock_code.bin the third time it says FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed) and the progress bar disappears

for the fourth time it goes like the first time and so-on....(cyclic steps) or i don't know what we call it

i rememberd... the problem started when i tried to flash the Firmware 3.32 Universal (Non-TMOUS)

it's here the problem started
one other thing, i lost my *** unlocked *** boot loader by flashing the HBoot 1.29.0000 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.27.1100 to 1.29.0000) which is located here

now my hboot is like this:

*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.29.0000
eMMC-boot

please my friends... find me a sollution...

The solution is either Unbricking project
Or using jtag to re-flash the radio partition (which is available at so many places)

Your phone is bricked as of now though as AFAIK there are no other software wise solutions

You should always be careful when playing with firmware/radio and should always verify the md5sum before flashing those

@ganeshp
Could he try to flash 3.33 firmware?

I know this situation because I did the same as you (flashed hboot 1.29 over 1.27) but I didn't mess with the radios. I also lost the ***UNLOCKED*** state, but then I flashed the patched hboot(1.29 to 1.27) and then flashed the 3.33 firmware, so luckily nothing happened that caused serious damage.

He tried both and they are failing with Fail-PU errors.. Which was caused by corrupted radio flash

One of the two pins near the bottom of the phone will put it into QHUSB_DLOAD. Linux should be equipped with drivers for it, so you can use it to help recover your phone.

Think changing the phone to super cid will work? Off chance might help him flash international ruu

Can't flash an RUU if the phone cannot boot into OEM RUU mode. He's getting SD_HW errors which disallow him from doing so.
