[Q] Hangs at beats logo after ROM install

Hi there,
I have a problem with installing custom ROMs. When I have installed it and try to launch it, it just hangs at the beats logo (HTC Sensation XE). So... What to do? I'm fully rooted, S-off, SuperCID etc.
Thanks!

If you are trying to install an ICS ROM, you need to update your firmware also, or you won't get past the beats screen.

i had the same problem and the above post is correct u must flash new firware before installing the rom otherwise it will hang on logo.
download latest firmware flash that first then install rom , i would also maybe use s wipe also after installing the firmware to give a nice fresh rom install.

I know I need to update my firmware first, but if I do that, I'm in a bootloop. That's even worse.

So, I've just installed this RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408961 with android 4.0.3 and HTC Sense 3.6. Where can I see my firmware now?

Settings then scroll to about phone its the very bottom option its in there software version and also hardware choose either one to see all info about phone.

Hi!
I came from ARHD 4.1.10. I installed the new firmware, you can pull the battery out after installation finishes or even when it boot loops. Then remove sd card, use a card reader to manually remove the img file. Put it back, Then boot to recovery, superwipe, flash new rom
Be careful using an old ARHD version, make sure to update your 4ext touch recovery to latest version afterwards

Thank you really much! So, I have firmware version 3.25 now, and for the roms I need 3.24. Can I install a rom with version 3.25?
Thanks!

No, my hboot is useless so i cant flash any of the newest 3.24 firmware roms and above because i have hboot 1.23 and its terrible and half-done. Half of the functions are missing. When trying to flash a new firmware it gets to unzipping then just immediately reboots hboot.

can somebody please find me an ics dl link fir firmware 3.12 such at arhd 6.0.0? i've searched but all of thepages just have the most recent one with a higher firmware.

If you have s off, 1.23 h boot can also run GB ROM. Try COREDROID v4 if you want ICS, it's running great for me and it works on you current h boot, also their 3.3 GB works well too none of the ICS bugs. Also look in the stickies in development section the files you want are there.

No stock options for you there... you'll have to use a custom ROM with ultra smooth rosie tweak to eliminate 3D

As I know there is no turning back when you unlock your device

Hi there, are you missing the sense interface?
it all depends how you got to CM7 in the first place, which I'm guessing required:
1. S-OFF + custom recovery
2. Root
3. Installed custom rom
To go back you need to do this:
1. Download the *stock* rom RUU files for your phone. This allows you to get the phone back to its original stock form.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002506
2. Change the bootloader. This allows the RUU to overwrite it with the stock bootloader and get it back to S-ON. ENG HBoot is a good one that allows overwriting.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113820
3. Once you've changed the bootloader, flash the stock RUU over it, which should automatically overwrite the bootloader, S-OFF, recovery and ROM.

Thank you, that is what i was looking for but now i got a new problem....
i downloaded the matching ruu , but when i want to install it , there is a error...
i think because the programm says that its already on that version...
what should i do now?

when i installed an old android revolution hd version with gingerbread, there is a bootloop... i think because of the wrong firmware package... but i dont know which fits to that gingerbread rom

get the matching rom from this thread

the matching rom would be
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_<country/carrier>_<firmware version>_Radio_<radio>_release_<xxxx>_signed
EDIT:
oops sorry you want to know which firmware supports gingerbread right?
brief description of each firmware:
3.32 Unlocked is the latest/stable release ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.30 Unlocked is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.24 Unlocked is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.12 is ICS 4.0.3 FW before that (Sense 3.5 Version)
1.17 This is the original Revolutionary 1.17.1111 Firmware with a completed Gingerbread Firmware v 1.45 package (Radio 10.14.9035.01_M)
Also the firmware thread
fclick here for firmwares

Hm i tried it but when i was on gingerbread and wanted to update with a RUU to a clean stock rom, EVERY RUU i tried was "Wrong" and wasnt working...
So i keept the stock ics rom, without superuser and s-off, but 4ext is still there....
so i think i have to keep it, it should "damage" my warranty , or am i wrong ?

Boot Looped :(

My dad asked me to root his HTC Sensation after seeing my HTC Sensation and all its rooted glory... Well his phone had a different HBOOT. Mine was 1.27.0000 and his was 1.28.something maybe 0000? Well anyways so my HTC Sensation was left S-ON and I just Enabled SmartFlash using 4Ext and mine booted fine. His however I did S-OFF and both our bootloaders are unlocked and both are rooted.
I tried installing a custom ROM (same on mine) and now his Sensation is in a bootloop... The custom ROM in question is Elegancia - Sense 4.1 v3.1.0
I feel like it might be because he was running Gingerbread (I believe) and I was running ICS. However he loved the custom ROM I was using so is there any way?

Since the previous ROM was Gingerbread, the firmware would have been the older one. Just update the firmware to the latest 3.33 and the bootloops should be gone (if not try reflashing ROM after firmware update). There is a guide as well for updating the firmware.

Check the thread of the custom ROM you tried to install, it should state which firmware needs to be installed for this ROM.

Hi,
If you want help,then, it is important that you post CORRECT information.
Otherwise you could be given wrong information which could lead to brick.
If he was running GB,then, his hboot would have been 1.18
If this is correct,then, post the COMPLETE hboot page,so that you can receive the correct guidance...
EDIT:
I notice you also have questions in the Help Thread.
Please keep your questions in ONE place.
