will this cause a continuous bootloop on sense roms?

In some cases yes. On my phone I got a continuous bootloop after downgrading, however it was easily fixed by pushing the clock work mod recovery and installing an AOSP rom (cm9 for me). On the other hand, while downgrading my gf's phone i did not experience any bootloops. Not sure whats causing them at this time but i'll be looking into it.
Also, if you want to stay on a sense rom you can go into the factory recovery menu and wipe user data/cache (essentially a factory reset, but will not lose s-off or root) and the bootloops should cease until you turn off the phone.
cool, i'm gonna give this a shot. I have 2 inc 2's to send back. so if i screw one up, oh well.

haha cool let me know how it goes:good:
Everything worked good. I'm on the sense4a rom, and trying to figure out how to put it into a bootloop. Could you please tell me the trick? I gotta figure it out before I give this to my wife, so it doesnt start ****ing up on her. So far so good though, I've rebooted and everything seems fine.
so if i understand you correctly your running the sense4a rom and experiencing no bootloops, but you want it to bootloop?

HAHA, Yes and no. I just want to make sure I know what causes the bootloop, and be sure that it wont when I hand the phone over to my wife.

lol okay. well mainly the boot loops are just caused from the downgrading itself. Maybe try pulling the battery and restarting the phone, boot into recovery, bootloader, ect. Not sure what actually triggers the bootloops besides the sense roms themselves but thats really cool that the sens4a rom doesnt seem to be causing them ill have to look into that.
My guess is the RIL code written by the devs here for the Sense 4 ROMs aren't plagued by the boot loop issues.

if u r on the new 6.xxx software, cna u pull system/lib/modules folder before downgrading.--it's sow e can use the new kernel.

I am no longer on the 6.01 software but i will edit the OP to ask for someone to do so.
I just upgraded my old phone and will be getting a droid by the end of the week. If no one has done it, I'd be happy to do so, provided someone tells me how to pull the system/lib/modules folder.
Please help, been trying this for so long, everything goes smooth with all the commands and everything but when at the very end i get the error message (FAILED: 12 signature verify fail). Or something to that extent, I went back up to to OP Post and researched some more and I seen something about needing to have an unlocked bootloader and then I need to lock it back with (fastboot oem lock). So do i need to use htcdev to unlock bootloader first then try this or whay. Pleeasee
Hey dets34, I followed your process to downgrade and also got the boot loops; always rebooting at the lock screen. I am using CondemnedSoul's StockOTA 605.05. I was about to give up and use CM72 when I noticed the radio version was .0622 (an older version?) So I flashed the .0312 radio, and guess what? No more boot loops!
Has anyone with this boot loops problem tried flashing another radio? Would the radio version be the main problem?

Hi Guys,
I managed to hard-brick my phone somehow. I sent it back to HTC already, but I just don't want to do it again. Can anyone figure out what did I do wrong?
Here is the story:
1, I've rooted the phone. I tried with the one-click root first, it did not work, but the other method involving unlocking the bootloader through htcdev.com and flashing CWM (endeavoru) and SuperSU worked.
2, I wanted to install my cmdsp update, which worked already in several devices (Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7, Galaxy S III). I flashed the exact version which was in the thread (that one is created from the Galaxy Nexus CM9 distro (maguro)).
3, The device booted, but then got frozen on the UI. I hesitated what to do next.
4, I thought that maguro is not binary compatible with my device, so I downloaded CM10 from this thread, extracted the necessary files and created an update.zip for this device, then flashed it.
5, It got flashed nicely, but then the phone did not boot anymore.
It had 100% battery before, but long-pressing power button did not do anything. No way to get into hboot mode, and the device is not recognized as an USB device if plugged into a mac (sorry, no windows at home). The led does not even light up if I plug it to the charger.
So, the question is: what did I do so wrong that it got hard-bricked. I might get another device from HTC, I might need to pay for that, I don't know, but I do not want to repeat this mistake.

This is an update.zip, I flashed it to many other ARM-based device with no problem (ICS, JB).
Because you don't read and experiment, that's why.

Don't read what? The doc of the update.zip that I made myself? This update.zip installs some libs into the /system partition. What can go wrong about it?

Almost every Android has an ARM architecture CPU, doesn't mean you can flash whatever you want onto every phone.

Because you overwrote your hboot when flashing the device?

Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Actually I'm very interrested in what you flashed exactly?
With a S-ON device it should not be possible to flash anything that will hard-brick your device. So maybe you could post it for me?
EDIT: The ZIP you are linking to in your other thread could never have hard-bricked your phone. On a S-ON device it is impossible to flash onto a protected partition. So something else must have happened!
It is indeed possible to hard rbick an son device only by simply flashing a rom and boot.img meant for your device.
Recently it happened in the one x community when an (anonymous) developer released a rom and several people got bricked because of it.

There is no boot.img in the ZIP he links to, only libraries and an APK file. I highly doubt that could hard-brick a S-ON device, but who knows.

I think they will reflash stock ROM without even looking at what you have installed. I had CM installed when I sent my bricked phone, I thought they won't repair it because warranty was void, but they didn't look, just replaced the chipset and flashed stock ROM.

oh then your warranty void now because you have cm10 installed so they ll know you rooted phone.where i live,htc service center valid warranty wheather my bootloader is locked,unlocked because they said sometimes when we replaced pcb,sometimes some pcb comes from different countries so they are factory locked or unlocked.but your stock rom and recovery is madatory.once i have same problem like you and i tried many times to unroot and getting back my stock rom but accidently i bricked my phone but i have stock rom and recovery so their replaced my pcb.
anyways now you ll probably get new pcb so stock rom is in it,but if you ll get your back with cm10 tell me i ll upload stock rom(flashable zip from cwm recovery).
I knew, that i wouldn't hide it from them but install of stock Rom would be some kind of proof, that this problem isn't software related and make sure they won't dismiss me.

yeah but as per warranty statement,when you root your device,your device warranty will be void.no matter its software related or hardware related.but see its depends on customer executives if they are good they ll repaired your phone.

dude that guy wants stock rom so i ll give him stock rom.this is his matter not mine.and second thing you have got good piece of wildfire s so you wont have any problem.some people got problems like touch screen,sensors and battery overheating and all so to gain warranty at service center your phone's software and bootloader should be at factory state.if i installed cm10 and go to service center for repair they wont touch phone because its rooted.so who will pay for that? probably not you.and upto installing rom in device its upto depend on owners.i changed my pcb about 6 times so don't tell me about roms.(no offence)
and also i didnt say anythng about what you want and all.my replies only for guy who want stock rom.

It's just higher probability, they'll fix it. I know, officialy i can't ask for anything but maybe i'll run into nice service guy.

I'm probably not the only person to experience these problems on the R800x, and I couldn't find any other threads pertaining to a fix for my specific problem. I went to Verizon and Sony, and got frustrated very fast with them not even remotely having a clue on how to help.
My first issue is after rooting my phone and unlocking the bootloader, I flashed an ICS 4.0.1 ROM to my phone, it works great!
Problem is, I didn't realize the difference between the R800i and R800x. So now my phone lost its Radio image/Baseband Version, making my not have any servies (1x/2g/3g or bars) It's Wi-Fi only right now.
I read into flashing Radio images back to the phone so it can access the services, but I can't find one specifically for my phone. Any help there?
My second, and biggest issue with the phone is it's just not taking a charge. I've been flip flopping batteries with my other R800x to keep this one going. I tried a few things to fix that, but they just don't work and I'm tired of going in threads and reading crap and trying things that don't work.
Basically, I want my phone back to working order again, while keeping the ICS firmware.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
THINGS I HAVE TRIED TO FIX IT
-Flashing back to original firmware
-Adding a new charger file into .bin on phone itself

You can't have radio working because the rom was meant for GSM xperia plays. If you want ICS I sugget purchasing a GSM xperia play. Otherwise stick with stock to have everything working.

I used a flashtool, yes. I assume that was bad? It was the only way I could find for the R800x.
That's not where it messed up and lost my baseband and radio signals. When I got the kernel, then flashed an ICS ROM to the phone, that's where it removed my radio signals.

If you'd read what I put, none of that worked. I know radio isn't meant to work on a GSM ROM, buying a whole new phone was a silly suggestion of you.
first try flashing a zeusc(r800x) rom, because when you have a zeus(r800i) rom installed the radio won't work the way your are explaning.
Can you link me to it? I really don't feel like getting the wrong file yet again.

Hey guys... My friend bought an HTC One X second hand. It is rooted with what seems to be stock 4.0.3 Sense 4.0. The phone is also S-OFF and everything.. I will post pictures of it.
So here's the deal:
My friend was watching a movie but suddenly he felt as if the screen wasn't rotating... Now (According to AndroSensor App) the magnetic field, orientation, gyroscope, accelerometer etc... In short.. All of the GRAVITY SENSORS and the orientation sensors aren't working.. They are DETECTED by the app but say "Waiting for event"
tried hard resetting and everything. I have put many Custom ROMs in phones before. So i can flash ROMs etc if i have to
I have attached the pictures about everything and need help.. Alot appreciated thanks.

you should update it first, that is a very old version, you should have updates available. as it is s-off you can flash anything you want but I think you will need to update the hboot first, once that is done you have a lot of options available to you

Yeah you might be right... So what you are suggesting is I do a ROM flashing? Seeing the phone is already s-offed and everything
Anyways can you please list me a step by step procedure? Seeing this is my friend's phone so not doing this on my own :x
Bump?

Go to settings and check for an update. What we all recommend is that you send it to HTC, all untampered One Xs should still be in warranty, so send it to them, if it can't be fixed they'll send you a One X or a One X+, or sometimes they could send a HTC One if you're lucky :/

Nay i live in Pakistan :/ if this was in warranty even they wouldn't have accepted it :/ or requested a cost for it... Either way thanks for your reply... So doing an OTA update won't create problems on an S-OFFed device right?

OTA need relocked or locked device , stock recovery and stock ROM
and if you still have a problem with your g-sensor , check my signature , there is an alternative way to fix it

bootloader doesn't need to be locked or relocked for ota, only stock rom, stock boot.img and stock recovery

Oh alright! Btw if i flash a recovery via fastboot, then i am able to flash (say) a custom ROM Sense 5, 4.2.2 right? Just asking for it i will update it by OTA (provided there isnt a custom recovery... Since i didnt check that) :/

Oh i'll get right on it when i get my hands on the device can i request you to stay put to this thread? Cuz i will report back here
if you flash a custom recovery you can do anything you want, ie flash a rom, sense or no sense, or flash back to stock and because you are s-off you can even change your cid to install an update from a different region.
this can go on and on and people are starting to repeat themselves and you have had all the information you need to move forward. so what you need to do, as you say you cannot fix under warranty, is :- let the phone update via ota, this will update everything including the rom, the version of sense and the hboot. then once it is finished with all ota's available you can install a custom recovery( I recommend philz touch recovery or the latest twrp) and then you can flash all the rom's or mods you like.
and if you find you still have a problem with sensors check @HTC Venom signature for a possible solution

Try to do the hard reset after couple of days. Once you feel your device is warm enough. Chances to get them back gets better with time

i got them back except for temperature sensor....althought i did this thing several times, but once it worked out...i restarted the phone by long pressing the power button, even after the TURN OFF menu appears...on the start screen pressed volume down button to go in safe mode, all sensors started working, then i restarted mobile to come in normal mode.
working fine uptil now, i dont have restarted or powered off after that. so dont know if they will keep working after restart or again same problem will occur
all the people having same problem, just keep on trying restarts, safe mode, factory reset etc etc most probably they will start working. its just hit and trial
