But did you do a data wipe etc.
May even be worth flashing a super wipe 1st.

Hi,
In order to flash ICS ROMS you must first update firmware and radio.
Get the PG58IMG.zip with Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU HERE
Follow THIS GUIDE
Read everything CAREFULLY before proceeding.

Put it directly on your sd card (not in anyfolder)
Boot in to Hboot, and follw the instructions.
Reading what you have done, everything sounds spot on, so hopefully this will work for you.

[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?

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.

TMOUSA Sensation 4G help

Alright guys I got s-off and thats about it. I want ics on my phone but once I update to the nnewest firmware and flash an ics rom it stays stuck on white HTC screen. I've had to use RUU twice because I can't load a recovery without updating firmware and once i do that my phone does not boot. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get ics on my sensation 4g?
Make sure you get SuperCID so the firmware update goes through. If you don't have SuperCID then it can look like it updated but it actually fails.
Once you get the firmware flashed properly, you have to delete or rename the firmware zip from your SD card so that you can access recovery.

I did that. super cid to 11111111 and to the latest firmware even tried it with the patch. I am able to go into recovery but everytime I flash any rom it stays stuck on the white HTC screen after I boot it up.

The steps I used are...flash firmware 3.32 ,then superwipe( very important if coming from GB, then Rom this has seemed to work for me..
Also did you do a MD5 to check the file of the Rom to make sure it was the same?

The problem with this might be which version of htc sense was cooked into the Rom you are using. If you are using a android 4.0.3 rom with sense 3.5 then you need firmware package 3.12 because sense 3.5 needs HBOOT 1.23, and sense 3.6 needs HBOOT 1.27 so you would use the 3.24, 3.30, 3.32 but again it all depends on what the chef has built from if the chef used a 3.5 sense in the rom then that might be your issue.
If not try to just start over, completely format your sd card, then put your rom, supersipe, and firmware on sd card.
1. install firmware from recovery once installed pull battery out and remove sd to take off the firmware file,
2. reinstall sd card, boot phone into recovery- go to install from zip and run the superwipe script once it finishes it will reboot into recovery.
3. then install the rom of your choosing and see if that works.
I use the energy rom series and flashed over from GB using the instructions i found in that forum, it does get confusing if you have not do it a million times....hope this helps ICS is awesome...
I want to super wipe but I'm not sure which one to download. Also guys, I'm on stock tmobile usa rom. No custom rom

Stock is not needed.
You need to ensure that F/W and ROM are compatible. I.e. ICS 1.27.xxxx F/W WILL NOT work with a GB ROM, and GB 1.17.xxxx WILL NOT work with ICS.
Flash the F/W, if not already done. Can't remember what you are on.
SuperWipe (from Mike's ARHD thread).
Flash your chosen ICS ROM.
Pop out the SD card, reboot insert and then delete the PG58IMG.zip ONLY if you flashed the F/W.
Deep joy.

[Q] bootloop htc sensation XE, need Help!

I have HTC Sensation XE and a few days ago, i was just tried to install a Custom Rom by CM10. I found a video on Youtube that there only three steps to do that (Flashing a Custom Rom with S-ON)!
1. Unlock Bootloader (and I've done!)
2. Install Recovery (CWM Recovery Touch)
3. Flash the Custom ROM
And I tried that all...
Everything looks fine, from the moment i install the Recovery and then the Custom Rom, but its stuck on the HTC Logo. Power Off, and then Stuck on HTC Logo again, and again... It never stopped! And the backdoor just getting HOT!
I tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache and all the things i used to be doing when i flash a Rom. But the problem still exist.
Then I flash the Stock Rom with this Recovery (Since I forgot to make a back up system), and its fine, although the wifi isn't working!
Then i searching somewhere and found that the Recovery is 4EXT, and the I flashed the 4EXT Recovery and its succeed.
Then I tried to Flash the Custom ROM again, but I found the same problem, another bootloop.
I tried everything i could find in here, but it's nothing...
It's about 2 days and i can't do anything with my Sensation XE.
All i know about my HTC Status is, S-ON, Unlocked and the HBOOT 1.29.0000
is there any easy to understand way to make My Sensation XE Back?
Please Help...
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
In 4 EXT ,did you enable "Smartflash" just before flashing the ROM ?
For more information ,look HERE
Then
Don't know if this works with Hboot 1.29, but you could try to relock Hboot and flash the appropriate RUU for your device. Then you can start again.:good:
Edit: I just made a quick post on how I solved a similar problem here.
Good luck.

At least your phone is working again. :highfive:
But of course you can flash custom ROMs.
If you want to stay S-ON, you will have to unlock the hboot again and then I suggest using this guide.
Or you could read every sticky in this forum before doing anything else and then follow one of the S-OFF guides like this one, which is what I'm going to do. :good:

[Q] Multiple problems when flashing HTC Sensation with ARHD ROM

I decided to join the xda-developers community after I spent literally 9+ hours trying to get my phone to work and looking for the answers and couldn't find any for my situation. I am hoping an experienced user can give me some much needed answers!
The reason I am trying to flash the ROM in the first place is because I recently replaced the LCD/Digitizer from another HTC Sensation but for some reason I am not able to connect to T-Mobile network. I thought maybe it was the antennas and I had knocked something loose when I was repairing it when the WiFi wasn't working either, but when I took it to my parents house and used their WiFi it started working. So I decided to flash the the Android Revolution HD 7.2 ROM and followed the guide from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300. I followed the instructions and was able to do everything but the permanent root but I realized I could just flash the ARHD ROM and have it be rooted that way. I flashed the ROM and when it was done it got stuck at the beats audio screen. Then I realized I hadn't flashed the 3.33 firmware first and thought that was the problem so I went back and wiped partitions and data and flashed it to that and then flashed ARHD but it still got stuck at the beats audio logo. So I went and restored it to the backup I made on clockworkmod recovery but then it would just reboot to HTC logo constantly so I flashed to 3.33 again and it still does that same thing. I've flashed ARHD and 3.33 firmware multiple times and it either gets stuck on the beats audio logo or keeps rebooting from HTC. So now it's on 3.33 firmware and I'm leaving it there until someone can help me.
When I did the S-Off, in the beginning it said "revolutionary" at the top. When I flashed the ROM it said *LOCKED*. Now it says -Firmware-3.33-.
This is what it looks like on my HBOOT.
-Firmware-3.33-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
RADIO-11.24A.350431_M
OpenADSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418
eMMC-boot
What do I do next? I know for a fact that if I flash the ARHD ROM again it will get stuck on the beats audio logo. I can't even start the phone on the 3.33 firmware because it restarts over and over to HTC logo screen. Also does anyone think flashing to this new ROM will get my phone to connect to the network again?
PLEASE HELP!!

I only needed to flash to 3.33 was because it was for Android Revolution HD. I'm not sure if you need to do that for the elegancia mod.
How did you update the firmware? Did you use the PG58IMG.zip method and if so have you removed it from your SD card afterwards? I know ARHD is best used with 4ext recovery too but i'm not sure it's a necessity. Check out this thread. There maybe some info on it.

How did you update the firmware? Did you use the PG58IMG.zip method and if so have you removed it from your SD card afterwards? I know ARHD is best used with 4ext recovery too but i'm not sure it's a necessity. Check out this thread. There maybe some info on it.

I used the zip method and I did remove it afterwards. I am using the clockworkmod recovery instead of the 4ext.

Sorry for being a noob but how do I check md5 sums? What do I compare the sums too? And also, why is it important to check?

put the firmware zip in the root of the sdcard
use any file manager and navigate to that zip
press and hold to the zip until it pops up a menu
go to proprerties
then you will see calculate md5 checksum or something like that
then check if it is the same with the one from the firmware thread
it is important because if you mess up with fw probably you will damage your device

I can't access the zip because I can't start up the phone. Is there any other way of checking md5 sums?

Hi,
That is odd.
You say you have flashed ARHD ROM.
That should install 4 EXT recovery.
So,that means the flash did not work.
Have you actually had a ROM working on your phone since you changed the digitizer?
Also,there is a md5 checksum checker in 4 EXT.
Have a look around the CWM recovery,to see if there is one there.
How do I check md5 sums from recovery?

Hi,
With your s-off status and current 3.33 firmware,there is no reason why it should not work.
Maybe ,the phone was not re-assembled properly?
Or did it work before the 3.33 firmware installation?

Yeah it was working before I did the firmware installation but the only thing was that it was not connecting to the network. What do I do??

Hi,
OK.
Let's go about this a different way.
Look HERE
2. Flashing a recovery
1.Flash 4 EXT recovery.
2.Go into 4 EXT recovery/wipe/ and format all partitions except sd card.
3.Flash ARHD ROM again.
The firmware is not preventing the installation of the software.
But using a different recovery,and wiping properly ,may get the ball rolling again.
Once you get the ROM up and running,you can look at the radio/ril combination.

Since you are s-off, follow this guide to update your firmware to 3.32 or 3.33: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154
Follow all instructions and then flash ICS/jellybean ROM. All bootloops should be gone and ROM should boot up perfectly. Also, make sure you make a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong!

probably the firmware.zip you flashed was corrupted
did you check md5 sums before flashing it?
if not you should have done it
