Hello Gentlemen and Gentlewomen,
I know this is my first post, but i have been on XDA quite a while, i'm a not a noob anymore, but i am not far from it .
This week i revieved my sensation, after half a day of playing with it, i quickly wanted more and when i got home i did some googling i came up with the InsertCoin rom, I had some expierence flashing before with my Galaxy S and everything went according to plan. I have InsertCoin 3.4.3 smoothly running now.
The problem is when i tried to get the FULL THEME GingerThyparancy V3.0 - Sept 16th, 2011 for XE based ROMS (1.72.401.1) running on my mobile it gave me a boot loop, i tried different versions of it, still boot loops. And when i downloaded the skin only version from the market i cant select it in the skin ''chooser''.
This is what i did:
Rooted it and made it ready for flashing with help of the noob proof guide here on XDA. Then i flashed InsertCoin 3.4.2, let it boot. Flashed 3.4.3 over it, let it boot. And then flashed the theme, this time when i reboot it i get the boot loop. Doesnt matter wich version i use, always get the bootloop.
I am rocking a brand new HTC Sensation XE. As you by now know i have InsertCoin 3.4.3 on it. Its not branded.
I really hope you guys can help me out because i freaking love the theme, esspacially the theme with a touch of blue.
If you need further info or anything ask me.
Greet, Mark

Hi,
Just a minor observation.
Is IC 3.4.3 a Sense 3.5 ROM?
And you have installed:
FULL THEME GingerThyparancy V3.0 - Sept 16th, 2011 for XE based ROMS (1.72.401.1)
Which I believe is for Sense 3.0 ROMS
I think that may be your problem.
Re-install the IC 3.4.3 ONLY.
Then look for a Sense 3.5 theme HERE
Going to try that when im home, got the phone working, only the theme not. Just checked and i got sense 3.5... Thank you

You are trying to install a theme that is made for a sense 3.0 on an sense 3.5 rom.
that definitly is your problem.

Hi,
Go into recovery, wipe your cache partition and dalvik, and then reflash your ROM.
This will restore you back to sanity.
For future reference, always make a nandroid backup BEFORE you make any changes to your phone.
thanks
thanks for the help,
but the problem is when going into recovery or just powering on the phone its going into boot loop.
so the boot screen comes on like the phone is starting but it just keeps repeating and when i boot into recovery the recovery starts, the menu pops up but within about 4 seconds it starts over again in recovery, so both recovery and the actual rom is going intoo boot loop...
thats why I was wondering if it was possible to reflash the rom like the hd2 from hboot bcuz thats the only thing thats seems to be working...
thanks again for any ideas.

HELP!!!
Hey guys need some help here...was running the CM7 alpha7 and everything has been great. Phone was fully charged on the charger this morning and I rebooted just for kicks. I come back in the room a few mins later and the phone is bootlooping. Tried restoring a backup of cm7 and same thing even after a fresh wipe and install.
Restored a miui backup i have and everything is fine with that.
I cannot install a new rom or my cm7 nandroid only this miui one. tried flashing old cwr and same results. have even tried sense based roms and they will not boot. all i get is the htc splash screen and then it bootloops.
Any idea what I need to do or what went wrong? thanks!!!
Maybe kernel or radio not compatible or something? You could try the RUU
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
I would advise to run the RUU and start fresh.
Might be radio issue most likely since CM7 uses their own one according to xda users.

Thanks guys finally have the ruu downloaded and its running. Hope this works. Thanks for looking out! Running off the sidekick 4g so I really hope it works out haha

Tried it and it didn't work...wouldn't boot kept bootlooping the slash screen. So the only two nandroids I can restore and only two Roms I can flash are trips miui and rcmix sense 3.5 isn't that weird? I'm so confused...

Did you get your problem solved? I have almost the exact same issue, but with a slightly different experience. I was using a sense 3.5 rom (Insert Coin) and, when I tried to update the ROM to the newest version, I couldn't get past the HTC splash screen (the HTC splash screen would come on for about 3 seconds, and then reboot). I was able to get into recovery and restore a CM7 rom and a previous Insert Coin rom, but I can't flash anything else without bootlooping.
I've tried flashing an older recovery (didn't work), using an alternative recovery (didn't work), flashing the RUU (didn't work), and formatting my SD card (didn't work). Nothing seems to work. :-(
hey guys,
i'm having a issue with flashing new ROMs. i am currently running android revolution HD 3.6.2. i was curious on trying a different roms and i tried to install insert coin 3.3.0 and clockwork said rom installed successfully after following the steps. but i get to a htc boot screen then the screen goes black then htc screen pops up again. i left the phone alone thinking it was just part of the first boot process. left the phone alone for 20 minutes still doing the same thing. so then i tried cm7, and got the same issue after following the sticky guide for cm7. i flashed back to hd and it booted fine. then i tried to use RUU to go back to stick, and the two tmobile versions up didnt work.
any suggestions? i am curious to try other roms.

Just kind of a basic step. If you go from one rpm to a completely different one your going to want to superwipe. Especially if they are different builds. You can flash an update like 3.6.1 to 3.6.2 but not ARHD to insertcoin. Try superwipe and flash a new Rom. Just make sure you make nand backup so you can always go back If something goes wrong.
Hey there,
I have an interesting problem, and it has completely stumped me for the past couple days. I recently S-Off'd my Sensation, put cwm recovery on it, and set my CID to 11111111.
I haven't had any problems with that (except that I had to change computers to do it, Revolution didn't want to run right on my laptop or set the CID, so I had to use my desktop).
Now the problem comes when I try to flash a custom ROM. The first one I tried flashing was CM7. When it booted, I got a bootloop problem of the CM7 mod logo over and over. I decided maybe it was a problem with CM7 still being in alpha. Then I tried flashing HyperSensation 1.8, and got the same error (bootloop) on the loading screen. After trying various other ROMS, I realized that it was a common problem with all custom ROMS. Luckily I had backed up the stock setup, and was able to get into that. So it's not a problem with the hardware. I have only tried flashing gingerbread ROMS. I know that ICS ROMS need a new firmware, but I dont want to mess with that unless I can actually get a gingerbread ROM working first...
Any ideas? There was a thread or two about this (on other phones) but didn't have any solutions listed..
Thanks for any ideas people can give me!

Hi,
Did you root your phone?
Did you flash the superwipe zip first?
Also are you getting full reboots with HTC splash screen then animation or just the animation looping? Sometimes I have to let mine loop for 5 minutes after first boot of new rom before it settles.
Sent from my Sensation XE using XDA App
I guess I hadn't done everything.. I didn't factory reset before flashing the new ROM... As soon as I did that it boot right in. That's a bit odd to me, as I didn't have to do that with my last phone.
Anywho, solved.

Hello everyone,
I love to try different roms like everyday,
recently I tried Sense 4 Rom InsertCoin,
I don't know if it is ROM or i'm not doing it correctly,
but here's what I did.....
- From arhd 6.6.5 rom, Wiped/Format everything except sdcard
- Flash new firmware, tried two different, one link from arhd thread & other from Firmware's page, TMO-3.32 latest one...
- Flash the ROM........
Now, sometimes, it just turn on in like 15 seconds maximum "brightness lowers & quitely brilliant comes up", sometimes it takes more than 15 minutes & do nothing.
if I accidently get it working, I avoid to reboot, but if I have to, it get itself stuck on HTC screen & I have to reinstall the ROM to make it work again with 4-5 minutes boot time.......
which makes my phone's base hot like real HOT
So any help will be highly appreciated.....
as I am getting more than awesome battery life on this InsertCoin ROM compared to arhd.........
Thanks a lot........
EDIT:
I used official ROM & re-rooted & did all stuff again.....
now used firmware attached with arhd & it's working great......
I don't know what was problem but it's working good now

You shouldn't have flashed the firmware. Both ROMs (mainly all ICS ROMs) use the same 3.32 firmware. So if the firmware you used on ARHD worked fine, it should work on all other ICS ROMs. probably something went wrong while reflashing firmware...
Glad you worked it out in the end.

I had the same issue, are you flashing ARHD with EXT4 recovery?
If so, make sure to enable smart flashing from the tools menu.
That solve my problem.

While I got S-Off on my device.......

I fixed it...had to push the boot.img over from the rom/kernel folder....
