[Q] Htc Sensation Xe Frozen on boot

Hi i used revolutionary to turn s off. This also installed clockwork mod.
So i dropped my insertcoin 4.3.1 beta xe rom into my sdcard, did a full wipe through clockwork, installed rom and then did a reboot after install.
Now my phone is frozen on boo up on the beats audio logo and wont go pass this??? I have tried to reinstall the rom same way in case and tried a factory reset to get phone back to normal, but no result!!
How can I get my phone back to working please help me, im a total noob i know ..

Did you update the firmware? If not, visit this thread...

Be sure to find the right firmware for your Rom... I'm not sure if that version of insertcoin uses firmware 3.12 or 3.24...

thank you
hi ty but i didn't upgrade no firmwire i was running android 3.2.4 before i did anything.. is there a more simpler solution to just get my phone working as im a bit confused after reading the thread you posted..
many thanks again..

You need the firmware for these ICS roms.... That's what makes it run... I saw the forum in insert coin that you need the 3.24... So this might be for all versions.... Just get the right zip file put it in the root of your sd and reset to bootloader and that should be good...
If you don't want to update the firmware, just flash the insertcoin Gingerbread roms... I think the last one is insertcoin 3.4.6... You'll find it the insertcoin website...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats

ok ive just gone to there website, from my understanding does this mean i need to install the first version of this rom
InsertCoin_Sensation_Android_2.3.4_Stable_2_3.1.zip
which will the able me to upgrade to the 4.3.1 after?? I did not post link of the InsertCoin_Sensation_Android_2.3.4_Stable_2_3.1.zip as it may not be alloerd in forum ty again..

No, it won't let you do that... The only way for you to run the newest insertcoin is to have the new firmware... Sorry to disappoint you if I did... All ice cream sandwich roms run on 3.24 firmware... All you can run with your firmware is gingerbread roms....
If this is your first time flashing rims, please be careful.... Read more about it...
I don't want you to brick your phone...
Remember also, if you decide to install the 3.24 firmware, be sure that it is compatible with your CID and MID... The thread I gave you is very helpful...

you have been ever so helpful my friend but i just want my phone back and bypass this freeze, what would be the easiest solution as i would want to download a mod such as cynogen mod 7 as a last result..

I'm still actually in Gingerbread at the moment... It's jut cuz I don't have time to update yet and still reading few more info to upgrade to ICS...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats

ok im going to download cynogen 7 and put that on my sd card and see if that works..

Is there cyanogen for XE? Didn't know if there's one hehehe... I don't see cyanogen 7 for sensation ... Flash the roms that are built for your phone only....
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats

ok i cant connect the phone via usb as it just freezes, im going to have to buy a sd card adaptor tmrw and then chuck the roms on tmrw, see how it goes..
btw what do you think of this will this be compatible with my htc xe 2.3.4??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849

Yes but download the gingerbread version.... Not the ice cream sandwich...
You are right, the 2.3.4 is the one

[Q] Continous boot

Greetings,
I currently have a Sensation 4g on TMOUS. It is unlocked, rooted and S-OFF. I was running Revolution HD 2.3.4 with beats audio on my phone. Works perfectly.
Today I tried to upgrade to Revolution HD 4.0.3 with beats audio but I cannot get past the booting screen. I've super wiped and then installed the custom rom but it wont go past the first boot. I even waited 30 minutes and nothing happens. It just shows the beats logo. I have the same problem with the 4.0.3 without the beats audio. Any ides on how i could make it work? Is there something I am doing wrong?
Thank you,
Radu.

Sounds like its a firmware problem. What firmware is the Rom you want to download require and are you updating that firmware in your Hboot before you install the rom?

Find my post in general will help you out

Thank you guys, I highly appreciate your effort. i managed to figure it out. It works now.

I forgot to update to the correct firmware. That's why it was not working. Thanks again!

Great to hear..you will have fun and enjoy the many options you have with sensation developments. Cheers mate
Edit. Don't forget to delete the firmware file off your SDcard once you updated it. If you leave it on there everytime you do recovery it will want to do a update.. just some advice..

Did you flash anything or mod the phone in any way? If all you did was accept an official update leading to this boot loop I would call HTC or your carrier and have them fix it!

OP said they had the phone S-OFF but still running stock ROM - wouldn't the S-OFF be an issue for warranty?
Maybe the OTA update couldn't or didn't properly update the radio/bootloader/recovery segment - that would cause an ICS ROM to fail boot. I think trying to reflash the old stock ROM, or a GB-based custom one, is the first thing to try. Failing that, maybe manually flash the appropriate ICS firmware/radio package for the OTA ROM (see this thread)

IMO you need to flash the 3.32 firmware that will support/run ics (elegancia/darkforest) .

Did these flash OK (even though you are unable to boot them)? Recovery would have notified you of the result.
If so as above post, update firmware with the firmware needed for the last from you successfully flashed. Post if you get stuck.

Im maybe experiencing the same problem. Here's what happened. I was using internet-pass-through with my Sensation XE for me download games and saw in my notifications that there's an available system update which is the android 4.0, etc. I downloaded the file and installed it but right after i got stucked with picture of an android and beside it is a exclamation point in a triangle. I removed the batt and turned on the phone and nothing happened, nothing new. So, I searched in youtube and saw a way of updating ICS in my phone. My phone had S-off but still using Stock rom. I entered the bootloader then CWM then formatted the system, cache, then tried to update to ICS since i got the zip file already in my SDcard. After then, the installation was aborted, it says cannot fine system/build.prop or something. I rebooted my fone and I got stucked up with the HTC logo and white screen. Omg please help me. I'm crying. I just bought the fone. :'(

need help!

I was on like...1.27 and it flashed just fine. It should work on 3.32 and 3.33. Try and flash again the Rom, wipe first thoe. Hope I helped

I think you should only have problems if you use a newer android version on a older firmware. The firmware has some type of backwards compatibility in them but roms can become buggy if you uses a older firmware.

To update the firmware put the pg58img file on root of sd card,boot into bootloader by removing battery, place battery back in, press volume down sand power at the same time, the device will recognize the update and ask to proceed, volume up for yes. The device will then update and reboot.once fully rebooted REMOVE the pg58img file from the device or it will continue to update ! You now successfully updated the firmware! It will be successfully updated. Hope this helps you.

if you are checking the version thru Softwarw Information in Settings, the version is hard coded in the build prop.

Known issue. Ignore it. As vernon mentioned, it is in the /system/build.prop file if you really want to edit it to change the number.

What radio are you on now. If you have 11.76a you have 3.33, unless you flashed the radio separately in the past.
Are you trying to flash leedroid tweaks or something?
I'm using Insertcoin Evolution 2.2 now and am having a great time.

No I'm using friendly firmware

I know this might be asked before but i cant find it. firmware/super wipe

Guys I see a lot of roms that tells you what firmware is recommended but it dowsnt show you on how to know which firmware you have.
I recently got this phone sensation 4g from tmous. came with ICS.
I rooted it, s-off it, and hboot 1.27.1111
how can i know what firmware do I have? and I guess I need to be on 1.33
and another question is anybody still using super wipes in here? seems like the more ics roms dont tells you that you need to do a super wipe
and can I still use superwipe when flashing new roms?

Their is a firmware thread that gives all the firmwares with unlocked bootloaders. Also a rom will state if you should super wipe or not. But as a rule of thumb do not super wipe when installing a aosp or aokp rom. Only sense roms seem to be compatible.
Also since you have ics as stock It would be safe to assume you have the 3.32 firmware as this is what is linked in most if the s-off guides I believe.

so the 3.32 is based on stock ICS for the sensation 4g then why some says to update to 3.33

Because 3.33 is the newest firmware and what some devs recommend for there roms. Even though 3.32 is the same as 3.33. So if you have 3.32 your ok.The only real difference is the radio. So if you just update your radio. You should be fine.

you can update to 3.33 but right now you dont have to. eventually maybe. setting > about phone will also tell you firmware version on phone, or maybe just the firmware of the rom, not sure. If you read the firmware thread then you will understand firmware and settings and not make a mistake. end up with reboots or tac nyan or some ****.

Finding out the firmware version is one of the most basic information you need to know. Hint: Bootloader has nothing to do with it.
Odoslané z HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio cez Tapatalk 2

What he's trying to tell you is if you get to your boot loader (by pulling battery putting battery back in pressing volume down and power at the same time) the information about your device will be there...if you want to upgrade to 3.33 you flash the v pg58img file. You put on root of sd card boot into boot loader the way I showed you then it will ask to update press power for yes. Then DELETE the file! If you don't delete it it will continuously try to update. That's all there is to it. Hope I've helped.if so press thank you. Have fun updating.
