Flash a new rom or reinstall the current one from recovery. That'll fix it.

Worse case you may have to do a full wipe
(hope you did a full backup first!)
I had this happen a few weeks ago - wiping cache did finally fix it for me. Try it more than once just to be safe.

I have justed flashed arhd 6.0 ics. stuck on beats logo after reboot eny help would be great guys cheers

my backup wont even work!! i had a MIUI backup, and when i restored it, it restarts at boot logo! but before that i tried to update my firmware to 3.24 and got a CID INCORRECT error, is there anyway for me to resotore?

Just make super-CID, flash the fw-upgrade, then flash the rom and youre good again.

Did you flash the matching firmware?

My virtuous inquisition AOSP Rom is far from stable am i doing something wrong

I came from cm7.1 i flashed the rom the same as i always flashed any other rom. Im not an expert or anything but im not a newb i have done this before. But what i didnt do was a suoerwhipe should i have done that? I followed how you are supposed to install it i even watched tutorial on youtube to make sure i did it right and i did.
What the rom keeps doing is rebooting my phonr and i keep getting stuck on the htc logo. It will go to thr htc logo then reboot thrn go back to the logog then reboot again it does that over and over. And even when i tried to flash my cm7 clockworkmod backup it didnt work it still did it that had me extremely nervous that i was screwed. To fix it i had to refkash the firmware and then fkash the rom again clear the cache and everything all over again.
I thought it was over but then it did it again i and i jusr went back to cm7. I really want to use this rom anybody know why it is doing this? And how i can fix this?

Firstly, you should always superwipe when going to a different ROM (that is, a ROM from a different family).
Secondly, read the first couple of posts in the Inquisition thread and make sure you are using the right firmware.

I am having the same doubt whether you have upgraded the firmware. If you are using ICS version of virtuous inquisition you must upgrade the firmware with v3.24 (Revolutionary) which has the HBOOT 1.27 . Please go through the following thread.

I would suggest you may have failed to delete the firmware .img file from the sd card before you tried to boot the ROM?

Somethings wrong bc mine is 98% stable
Sent From Space Using My ICS Flavored Sensation

When you say firmware are you talking upgrading to 3.24? Because i didnt do that. I thought the only firmware you needed was the one included with the Rom that they tell you to install first. And boomboomer is right i also didnt delete the firmware .img.
But which one of these is causing the problem? Me not deleting the firmware.img off the root of the sd card. Or me not updating my htc firmware to 3.24?
I didnt know you had to update the firmware to 3.24 the first time a flashed this rom like 2 weeks ago i didnt do that and it seemed to work fine i just followed this youtube tutorial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF2OWf0D9XQ
In it it says nothing about updating to 3.24.

3.24 is not "required" by the VI 3.0 rom, but most users that use it experience little to no problems, compared to the previous firmware. Bottom line, it's more stable using 3.24.

Your right i didnt. you think thats whats causing it?
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App

You aren't reading the help you're bring offered. Delete the img file to stop the boot loop, if you want then update to 3.24 for better compatibility with ROM 3.0.0.

Ok thanks. Can i upgrade to 3.24 after I flash the rom?

Yes , you can . After flashing the ROM, do not reboot. Just power off. Then remove the sdcard . Put the the firmware file on the root of your sdcard using a pc. Insert the sdcard in phone. Boot into bootloader. Then follow on screen instruction. Hope you knowhow to boot into bootloader.
By the way, why not doing things in traditional way ??? I mean first flash firmware then you flash ROM.

I already flashed the rom and don't have an adapter to plug my sd card into my PC. Can I just download it from my phone and move it to the root of my SD then boot into bootloader?
And I flashed the rom first because i was told updating to 3.24 wasn't required. Plus I was kind of confused as to which 3.24 firmware to download and i just wanted the rom to bad but I have the right firmware now.

Yea its best to use the 3.24 fw. 3.12 causes reboots bootloops (grab the milk) and just ics based rom issues.

Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

Yea. Go ahead flash the 3.24 then boot into recovery do a superwipe and reflash the rom. Just in case it causes issues with the rom already running.

Ok so u flashed the 3.24 via bootloader correct? Ok go back into recovery. Run the superwipe script. Use this one. http://db.tt/ps5JWwBw

Installing a new Rom.

wipedata/factory reset and wipe cache+ dalvik

Thanks for the information my friend.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

No problem. You can also use Superwipe from ARHD ROM thread. It cleans everything for a fresh install.

problem switching ROMs
I have been running ARHD 6.6.3 and am trying to switch to OrDroid 7.1.2.
I thought all I had to do to switch would be
-boot into recovery
-run superwipe (from ARHD thread)
-install OrDroid ROM
but when I do this and reboot it just goes into bootloop.
What step for switching between ROMs am I missing?

are you using the correct firmware for the Rom? Ics based Roms use 3.32 firmware?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

In settings>about phone>software>more it says my build number is 3.32.401.5
I thought it might be this but I already tried reinstalled the latest firmware and still no luck. I was running ARHD before (obviously also a ICS ROM) which is why I don't understand why I can't get OrDroid running.

Still having problems. I ran Superwipe and installed Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2 and that worked ok. Then I ran Superwipe and installed ARHD 6.6.3 again and that also worked. I redownloaded the mirror link for OrDroid 7.1.2 and that still didn't work even using the same process that got the other ROMs working. I also tried installing OrDroid 7.1.0 but that didn't work either.
Anyone know why other ROMs seem to be loading fine but OrDroid just gets stuck in a bootloop everytime?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks

Before installing a new ROM, especially if the two ROMs differ in Sense version or Android version, go to Recovery, select Wipe | Format & Wipe all partitions except SD Card.
This is a fix for the bootloop issue too.

When backing up the Rom that's in your phone before installing the new one does it matter if I back it up in the back up or the advance back up.and what's the difference in the to different back ups?

No boot... Phone crash..

Okay, my HTC Sensation does not boot at all. Even when i run the stock Firmware... It has S-OFF Revolutionary... The only ROM that works is the ViperS and that also comes along with the issue that says com.android.phone has stopped working, along with that the wifi does not work... I've tried EVERYTHING! Can anyone help me please?!

Make sure you have the correct firmware 3.32 or 3.33. Also download 4ext recovery.It's a great recovery and really easy to use.you're soff so you should after doing those things be able to place Rom at root of sd card, do wipe data factory reset, wipe cash, wipe dalvik then install from sd card and reboot. Make sure to have your nandroid backup to be safe. You shouldn't have a issue after doing these things.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

I've flashed both 3.23 and 3.33 and still no progress and also i already have that recovery..... And i never did a nandroid backup so i'm stuck!

OK try to wipe everything aside from your sdcard from recovery. Then Install the rom twice, then reboot. Also have you used the superwipe script? Some roms, mostly aosp/aokp roms are not compatible with it. Let us know

[Q] Rooting my friends phone.. bricked?

I really need help here guys. I am rooting my friends HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) and I think i might have broken the OS.
I can still get into recovery mode and flash, but my ROMs crash as soon as I boot. The phone even runs into a boot loop sometimes depending on which ROM. Can anybody guide me to bring the phone back to stock? I would GREATLY appreciate it.

I rooted the phone, installed supersu (fine up until now) .. Created a backup via CWM and tried to flash Cyanogen mod. I realized it failed and so i went back to wipe (factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache) and went to restore my backup. The back up passes but is not 100% working due to some missing files in the system. I am also running HBOOT - 1.17.1111

I don't know if this is too much to ask, but would anybody mind assisting me through a google hangouts video chat? I could do it tomorrow at about 4PM. I really need to get this fixed.... Like bad.
