What is the best way of flashing an custom Rom?
S-off your device and flash a recovery,then download a rom and install it wih recovery
Best recovey: 4ext beta 2.2.6
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
Don't forget to root your phone after S-offing.
It's be important for flashing a custom rom
+1 for the recovery
If he install a custom rom.it ll be already rooted
Unless he install a ruu

Exactly, that's what I'm writing.
he must be S-off with RUU rom, and root too, without problem. It's more practice to making all operations in the same time.
But he said that he want to flash a custom rom, so he must be:
1 - S-off
2 - Root
3- Nand backup (more important)
4 - Flash rom custom
Our posts are complementary
I directly flashed a rom after s-off

Revolutionnary patch, do a quick search and you'll find link easily.
Oh come on
Nandroid backup is useless
I bought my ds and s-offed it directly
No nandroid
No root zip
When you install a recovery,you don t need nandroid unless you want to install a ruu
He want to install a rom,so if the rom is breaked,there is no problem.downloading it again,he can reflash it.
The only thing that is necessary, it s the recovery.with this you can do anything

Yes. Just install RUU
Hello friends,
Today I installed ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009 .
Before I made backup etc etc.
After ROM installation I installed gapps for JB.
All installation processes went succefully.
The problem is:
- phone is starting but handling on loading screen CMX CyanogenMod 10 and this "cosmic guy"
Did I do something wrong?
HW Specification:
HTC Sensation
Before ROM change: Android 4.0.3 (ICS) 3.33.401.106
Thanks in advance for all replies. (If I place this post in bad place, dear admin im sorry but I don't know enough forum structure. Please move it )
Best regards,
Mat
So its stuck on the CM10 boot screen?
Are you sure you did a factory reset/wipe after backing up, and before flashing the new ROM?

Do you use 4ext recovery or cwm recovery ?

Sent from my CM9 Stable Sensation using XDA Premium
Did you flash the gapps right after the rom flashing?
Try to install them separately.
First install the rom then let it boot, set some things up and let it idle for some couple of minutes.
Then reboot and install the gapps.
That's how I usually do.

Well I think the 4EXT Recovery Touch is just a much nicer experience. It's slick, simple, but does so much.
I flashed gapps directly after CM9 ROM with no problems at all. After a factory reset/wipe in 4EXT Recovery Touch. Haven't had a problem there. Don't know about CM10.

With the 4ext you have to tick smartflash, then you don't need s-off

Do you use Superwipe ?
AOSP rom does not support Superwipe tool.
You shold go Wipe factory data / Wipe Cache menu to do dual wipe.
Hope that helps you

Maybe you should try 4ext
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
if the issue is only with the boot loop stuck image then....
Just extract the boot image from the ROM zip file and place it in the adb folder on the OS partition then use fast boot commands to push the boot image to the device. it should work, worked for me.:good:

i cant tell if i have cm7 r2 or stock hboot. all it says is hboot-6.93.1002 does that mean its stock hboot? if yes then why wouldnt the rom work? for now i restored my old rom but why wouldnt it work?
I believe I have stock hboot. I'm using 4ext and the partitions say 250/147/40. I even managed to install evervolvs Rom which also required stock hboot. Why won't this one work?

It's normal, because to install updated from HTC you need stock recovery. If you really want the update(latest has sense 3.6) you should flash stock recovery.
I suggest you try some custom ROMs, they are much better than stock in every possible way. Try ViperS and you won't get disappointed. It has sense 4.1 and sense 4.5 components with android 4.04
Edit: To flash Viper you need 4ext recovery

Okay, and how do i install that instead?
You can get 4ect recovery here or even on the market. Once you download the app just follow the instructions. If your s off do NOT enable smart flash, that's only for s on. It's pretty straight forward. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hi,
Use the link I gave you in my first post.
Try Installing the ARHD ROM
This has an aroma installation which you can choose the FAUX kernel.
This kernel is able to change clock speeds with an app like System Tuner,or kernel tuner.
