Help with custom rom Sense

Hello everybody,
I have a little problem/bug with my HTC. I have flashed the rom Saga3D v3.0 that includes Sense 3.0.
My phone wasn't working anymore after trying to flash two times Runnydroid and CyanogenMod, it was blocking on HTC bootscreen (and that for more than 20min)
As a temporary solution i found Saga3D and my phone is working again but the rom normally includes Sense 3.0. In the software informations of my HTC there is written Sense 3.0 but in case I have the interface of Sense 3.5 !
I had the new update before flashing (and new HBOOT idd) and I dont know why I get this problem. I did a full wipe (Wipe data/cache with Revolutionary CWM) and I dont understand why I get again Sense 3.5
Sorry for my bad English
Thanks in advance

download the 4ext recovery control app from market and flash that recovery over cwm! Then reboot into recovery, format ALL partitions then flash a sense 3 rom again eg - Shadow Hawk V2.1 [see mmy sig]
Hope this helps!

Tried to follow your instructions, flashed Recovery.img of 4ext but now it is blocking on HTC boot screen.. Reflashed recovery of Revolutionary CMW and it is working again.. wtf
Is it not linked of my hboot that is in 2.00.0002 ? Is it not more raisonable to wait s-off with new update off revolutionary ?
Every time my phone is blocking on HTC boot screen I must pull out the battery and I'm scared that my phone is bricking (already did 5-6 times because cmd isn't finding phone on boot screen..)

4ext but now it is blocking on HTC boot screen?
u didn't came into the recovery?

I flashed the recovery img of 4ext but when i tried to go into the recovery(with the app or with volume down+power) with 4ext my phone was blocking on HTC boot screen.
I pulled out the battery, boot in normal mode and flashed again the recovery img of Revolutionary CMW. Recovery is working with this CMW.

Yes my HBOOT is s-on 2.00.0002 but unlocked with HTCdev. (People said me that flashing a custom rom was possible with s-on, if bootloader was unlocked)

If you have unlocked using HTCDEV see this thread for a resolution:

It is possible to flash S-ON but you need to manually flash the boot image for the custom rom that you intend to use after ROm flash.

I think I will actually wait for new update of Revolutionary, I got to much worried with flashing/rooting my HTC. Will try to reset to actually stock rom and wait.
I'm a noob and I assume it

How to superwipe & root to Install ARHD ROM for Hboot 1.27?

Hello Guys
I want to flash The Android Revolution HD custon ROM.. I read this thread and also this one I fully understand, but just some points are not clear, I desperately need your guidance
The points that I didn't understand are:
- How to SuperWipe! I searched the forums, I know I hv to put Mike's script in root of sdcard.. boot at recovery.. when I choose recovery (after holding volume- + power key) It only shows a draw of a mobile with red exclamation mark! should I hv flashed recovery first? I never flashed anything.. I only unlocked my phone at htcdev.com and my sensation has S-ON and Hboot 1.27. With upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and 3.32.163.12 firmware.
- What is the best recovery that would help me do superwipe? And how to flash this recovery?
So when I successfully superwipe I should install a stock ROM Then root it again ( as auggie2k explained)
I know how to install a ROM but I Don't know how to root!
So many questions I know! sorry but I'm new at those things..

1. This really should have gone in Q&A section
2. Best recovery is probably 4EXT.
3. Because you are S-ON, you need to follow the installing ROMs with S-ON guide (another reason to use 4EXT recovery is because of smartflash feature which makes flashing a ROM with S-ON much simpler).
4. I would recommend S-OFFing anyway because it means you can upgrade firmware and get supercid as well as others, look at the guides for juopunutbear S-OFF for more info on this

I am using the latest Hboot version which is 1.27 and I have no problem using 4EXT Recovery. I think you may have confused yourself some how lol. But hey we all get confused some time or another.

Thanks guys for your guidnance.. I was just confused coz there are too much threads there that i read! anyway It was really easy though! Also this thread helped me to Boot into 4ext Recovery from PC without installation:fingers-crossed: which allowed me to wipe, root and install Stock ROM then doing S-OFF which was successful after following http://unlimited.io/'s JuopunutBear method. Now that I installed 4-EXT with your help guys, I'm downloading ARHD ROM in order to flash it with 3.33.401.x firmware

HTC Sensation s/w Brick?

my friend installed Rom from CWM and it stuck on HTC Logo (i guess boot loop)
after some research i told him to do
we found out that he phone is S-ON
is it possible to fix this kina of Brick?
i dont need links or something like that just a possible route how to fix it..
Thank you..

You have to flash boot.img from rom zip file from fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without quotes or enable smartflash in 4ext recovery... Do you have matching fw?

you may have to flash the boot.img manually
that's why it's not booting

in order to get S-OFF i need to install the Boot.img?
i cant just install Stock FIrmware (if possible)
and unlock Bootloader"?

S-OFF is a different story
i suppose you have already unlock bootloader
what fw do you have?

can i take Customize Rom Install it via CWM then install extract boot.img from Zip install it via Fastboot?

yes you can do it via cwm but i suggest you to install 4ext recovery.it is better

As you have cwm your bootloader has been unlocked.... Fastboot or 4ext recovery with smartflash enabled

it matters.
now with that hboot version you can easily S-OFF your device using this site
http://revolutionary.io/ after this you have to change your cid to supercid in order to flash whatever rom you want
if you don't want to do that:go again to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
flash first the appropriate 3.32 fw then the appropriate 3.33 fw and follow step4B in the link i provided you in my previous post
i should had asked you about your hboot version

Did you take a nandroid backup before flashing custom ROM? if yes then restore it, if no then that was silly
If no then there are 2 things you can do:
1. Flash a GB ROM then S-OFF using revolutionary.io method
2. Flash a 3.32 or 3.33 RUU then flash custom ROM
Out of the two I would go with no. 1 because it will save you a great deal of headache later on because revolutionary S-OFF is easier and more user friendly than JuopunutBear

we manage to fix the Brick by using this Thread

[Q] bricked sensation xe, help

Hey i bricked my htc sensation xe while trying to get the Android 4.1.2 Viper S 3.1.2 Jelly Bean Custom Firmware rom. I followed this tutorial:
cannot post links because im new here sorry, its the first link when you google "vipers 3.1.2 sensation techbeasts"
this is my current situation: when i try to start the phone the green htc sign appears for a few seconds, then the screen turns black and nothing happens. i can access bootloader, fastboot (it connects to my computer) and i can access the recovery menu. when i open bootloader
this information appears:
*** unlocked ***
pyramid pvt ship s-on rl
hboot-1.29.0000
eMMC-boot
Mar 2 2012,18:14:34
this is how it happened: around 10 hours ago i had a completely stock htc sensation xe with Android 4.0.3. Because of perfomance issues
and my need to costumize stuff (years ago i had a jailbreaked ipod touch 2g and it was fun costumizing skins and adding tweaks ) i decided to
install a custom rom on my sensation xe, and i found the vipers 3.1.2 rom online. so i found a simple looking tutorial (link in introduction) to install it. i oversaw the little note that i need a ROOTED sensation and just started following the tutorial. after running into small problems i found out that i have to unlock the phone, which i did successfully with the htcdev website. after flashing the boot.img i was told to reboot the phone and it blackscreens after the htc logo ( it doesnt even show the quietly brilliant part ). its still not rooted by the way.
now i need help from someone, i am completely inexperienced with androids and would like to get my phone back to running, preferably with vipers 3.1.2 .my ideas are to either get it back to stock rom and try the tutorial again (this time with rooting it first ) or maybe to just root it now somehow and to carry on with the vipers rom installation. but i dont want to just go ahead and try it out and maybe hardbrick it. can somebody please help me out and tell me what to do?

You need to install custom recovery and flash a rom of your choice through recovery. The part with flashing boot.img comes after flashing the rom if your phone is not s-off.
Try finding some tutorials for all of the things I told you.

your bootloader is already unlocked..then like what nlooooo said in the previous post.. you just need to installing custom recovery choices what ever you want from 4EXT, TWRP or CWM then after that you can installing any custom rom that you want..off course you need always to flashing that rom boot.img too after every installing new custom rom..
hope this can help..
