Writing flash dump to a dead HTC Sensation XE PG58130

I've been serving dead boot repair / unbricking service for most smartphones with android, windows mobile and bada OS from HTC, Samsung, LG, Motorola, Huawei and other brands since a few month ago. I was posted a service selling thread at kaskus forum and I have repaired more than 200 units of dead boot smartphone from from all regions in Indonesia even some from Australia and Malaysia.

A few days ago one of my customer from Surabaya sent me a dead HTC Sensation XE with model number PG51830. Here is the picture of  HTC Sensation XE :


The first step I did was to check the condition of the HTC Sensation is if it has been repaired or not. It turns out that there is a seal on the handheld is still intact, so I assume that the damage to the HTC Sensation is probably caused by dead boot.

Then I did a repair dead boot by default by using riffbox to fix HBoot / SPL using version 1.18.0000, Recovery Zones, WLAN partition, HTC partition, make the S-OFF, Imei and Custom CID. The process went well without a hitch but the phone are still dead. So i decided to try to write full flash dump into the handheld.
The whole process will take about 9 hours, and has been running about 40%. I will inform you of further progress after the process is complete, so stay tune and recheck my blog ;)

About Hilman Anshori and Quantum Communications

Hello folks, this is my first post. Allow me to introduce my self, my name is Hilman Anshori. I'm 31 years old cell phone technician from Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia.

I've been working on cell phone repairing businness since 2002 and founding a cell phone service center named Quantum Communications around 2004.

After 10 years experience of repairing a cell phones, i found that there are a lot of problem that can make a cell phone running abnormally or even dead. But in most cases, the same common problem on a cell phone can be repaired by the same way or same solution, so i've decided to build this blog and will write my daily experience in repairing a cell phones at my workshop.

I hope my writings can be usable information  for all, especially for cell phone technician around the world.

Greetings,
