Turn off the phone, then turn it on holding power on + volume down. You will enter HBOOT screen, on the third line there is your HBOOT version.
If you want to install latest ARHD you need to
1) supercid following the instruction on this thread, 4th point
2) flash the firmware package from 3.24.401.1 RUU
3) flash the rom
If you really don't want to supercid, you can follow mike1986's instruction in his firmware thread

[Q] **PLS HELP!!** how to get back the phone?

I was trying to upgrade the stock rom on my HTC Sensation to revolutionary ICS. Ran the superwipe script and it removed everything from the phone. the phone refuses to boot now. Is there a way I can get my phone back?
I am downloading this stock ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1226085.html but don't know how to put it on the SD card?
Any help will be much appreciated!

You can boot into revolutionary. Go to mounts and mount usb storage. Then you should be able to copy the rom to the SD and flash it from there
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App

If all else fails and providing you can get the phone to load the HBOOT screen you can try flashing the latest RUU from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408961
The file should be run on your PC with the phone connected. You would then of course need to reinstall a custom recovery program again, but that's simple with 4ext recovery updater from the market. Then you can flash the ICS custom ROM of your choice.

The ROM in the link provided says Europe. I had a TMO_US, sensation 4g.
will make any difference/problems using the phone in US? sorry for extremely noob question but just wanted to be sure...

I would not advise putting a euro ROM onto your phone if you need a us network, I am not sure if it will work.

it didnt work because you probably didnt flash the new firmware update. if you want to boot ics roms you have to upgrade

You need to flash the latest firmware that's compatible with ICS 4.0.x. Find the thread in the development section, download the PG58IMG.zip and copy it to the root of your /sdcard/. Reboot the phone into fastboot/bootloader. The phone will detect your PG58IMG.zip and ask if you want to flash it. Use volume+ to accept the upgrade. The device will reboot once during this process. Firmware upgraded, old ROM's will now bootloop, ICS roms will work sexily.

Actually, that's what I got after posting the thread and looking for a stock ROM all night. I have that ROM now. Can't get through the update process though. Downloaded the update, hit Yes, Install now, phone reboots but stays on the exclamation mark screen. Any suggestions please?

should i even worry about the update?

I wouldn't worry, at least your phone is up and running again.
Please make sure you know what you are doing if you are going to try different roms, etc

Would anyone mind if I ask you to direct me to the appropriate firmware and ROM for ICS? the current hboot here is 1.17.000 and the s/w version is 1.45

Have you gone through revolutionary to S-OFF the phone ? IIRC the Revolutionary HBOOT is 1.17.1111.
IF YOU ARE NOT S-OFF GET S-OFF FIRST.
Assuming you are S-OFF then look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 Read and re-read the information there.
The 3.12 version (HBOOT 1.23.0000) supports GB and ICS, this is what I'm using as I also want to run CM7.
The 3.24 version (HBOOT 1.27.0000) only supports ICS
That'll get you ICS compatible firmware and radio.
As far as ROM is concerned, take your pick, I'm using Virtuous Inquisition but there are loads there.

[Q] [Help thread] Hands in my hair for last 6 days!!

Searched a whole lot but no solution!!
My sensation xe is stuck at splash screen with every rom or firmware I flash on it... I checked the MD5sums, corresponding firmware with rom and even the actual method of flashing.
Sensation xe is stuck. I am new to android flashing but have read almost everything about the sensation just not the solution.

Have you removed firmware pg58img.zip from SD card after updating?
Sent from my Pyramid-T

Yes, I have. I was aware of that from the first time I flashed firmware.

Are you able to boot to recovery? Did you superwipe before flashing?

Yes, superwipe. I am also able to boot to recovery.
I took all the necessary precautions as I have been bricked in the past. The thing is every rom you flash on the device gets stuck at boot screen.

hmmm...why not flash a RUU and do it all again? i mean re-do s-off,root and supercid

Is there maybe a way to create a device image or error script to see where it goes wrong because I have followed every guide to the letter here on the sensation forum.
I went trough firmware differences, flashing method, other bootloops/stucks threads. But there is no one with a solution or even the same problem.
So if you would have any Ideas I would appreciate it or do you know a developer here?

I've always flashed super wipe, then rom, then updated firmware in that order. Perhaps worth a go?

Have tried that several times in the order you suggested. It does not work for me.
RUU also gets stick on bootscreen. Have you heard about this earlier.

Did you SuperCID? If not, are you using the right firmware package for your CID, and also If you are trying to upgrade your firware for a new ROM, and it's stuck at the HTC splash screen, maybe that's because the ROM you had before isn't compatible with the firmware, so just try to flash the new ROM in this case.

[Q] how can You completely reflash a Sensation XE?

I have run a irreversible boot error in which the device keeps getting stuck in the bootscreen. Now, let us assume I have tried everything according to dedicated [guide] threads. Nothing works it stays in bootscreen.
Which is the best mos stable way to reflash a custom firmware, then a recovery and then a rom.
