Hi, XDA, i'm new and come here for roms and decided to try Virtuous Inquisition rom, so I flashed it and my phone wouldn't stop boot looping.. and I didn't make a backup so now i'm screwed, I've tried different roms but most of them bootloop except for cm 7.1 (which is total crap).. I just want 2.3.4 with htc sense and original factory state back and I cant find any Official firmware online... If somebody could help that'd be great =) It's like my second day with the phone :L..

Well I first rooted yesterday, i got S-off, then got clockwork mod recovery and then perma rooted using the zip file and gained access to super user etc.
Then I decided today that I want ics without sense, so i go to virtous or w/e his name is and put his download in my sd card wiped the cache and data etc and didn't back up, so installed his rom and rebooted my phone and it kept boot looping ...
and now i'm stuck with cm 7.1 which I don't like
I just want official 2.3.4 with sense back peacefully that'd be great
Did you install the required firmware?

Gotta have the correct hboot before flashing ics roms and supercid. To go back to stock find the sensation RUU.

You didn't mention if you SuperCID your phone or not. That is another required step .
Reply
I don't think there's a fully working 2.3.4 with htc sense rom online. You might have to use another rom.
if you want official rom go here
but if you want ics rom, first of all you have to flash correct firmware for the rom and only then flash rom.
All required info is in each rom thread.
I am having the same problem as OP but I have a back up. When installing Virtous Inquisition I get a boot loop and I have SuperCID.

He told you in his post.
He was running the wrong firmware version - most of the ICS ROMs require the newest firmware versions. Which requires SuperCID.
If you don't have the correct firmware version installed -> Bootloop.
HTC Sensation Recovery Mode
I am trying to go in to Recovery Mode pressing Volume down + Power Button simultaneously and nothing happens.. The phone it's starting normally !
In my experience you have to keep hold of the volume down button and then press the power button for a few seconds, while you keep on holding volume down. That always works for me...
ThanksI fixed that thanks god!!! But now another problem starts.. i turn on the phone and restarts over and over after the green sign. I can't access recovery also. I tried to install a recovery putting this file: PG58IMG in to Memory card and then install but no success it does the same I can't access recovery at all. When i try to access it my phone restarts the same when i try to turn it on. If someone one know what to do please tell me...thank you
If you can't access the hboot screen via vol down+power, check that you don't have fast boot enabled. Settings -> power, uncheck fast boot if it is checked. That should help you get to hboot. You can also take your battery out to make the phone fully reboot. And when you don't need the PG58IMG file anymore, remove it from the sd card.
Ok first off...if you have s-off and your rooted.....you also need to flash the proper firmware.
the easiest way to do this is by following this thread verbatim
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
mentioned in this great thread is the following and I quote
"I really want to use the latest ICS! How do I go about doing this?
I get this PM'd to me a lot. The best way I have seen to do it is as shown (Thanks to PaulGiz)
1. Do some reading as this is a bit different and harder than a normal ROM flash.
2. Best way is to place Firmware PG58IMG.zip, ROM and Superwipe script on the root of your SD Card.
3. Shut down phone and remove SD card.
4. Boot phone to Bootloader (Power+Vol down).
5. Move selection to Recovery, but don't select yet.
6. Insert SD, then select Recovery.
7. Flash Superwipe (ARHD Superwipe will reboot when done, others may not) & then Flash ROM.
8. Power down, then boot to Bootloader. Select Fastboot. Say yes to upgrade.
9. Watch the flash. It will flash 3 or 4 things, then reboot to bootloader. Don't panic when screen goes dark. Bootloader will come back and it will finish flashing.
10. Now select reboot.
11. Wait (up to 10 minutes) for ROM to boot up.
12. Set up your phone and enjoy ICS!!!"
read the whole post all info is there...it's really easy.
Thanks to Kohr-Ah i'm enjoying ICS "no-sense"...and just loving my phone..
Hope this helps.

So.. The other day I rooted my htc sensation perfectly, and gained super user access, S-off and all that stuff to root.
So I flashed a MIUI rom onto the phone which worked perfectly.
Today I tried to flash the Virtuos Quattro ROM onto my phone and it didn't work. So I cleared the cache, user data, and all that, but every time I tried to flash the rom it came up with an error.
(At this point when I turned the phone on , it when in a boot loop..l unless I went into recovery mode.) so I tried to restore the MiUI ROM and it wouldn't work anymore..
So I formatted the system and still no luck. Formatted the SD card and no luck.
However, after doing all of that, I lost the MIUi ROM, have no way of getting to a home screen, and I don't know how to get back either to my stock rom or to the MIUI rom.
It still says I'm S-off.. But I have no clue how to get back to either my stock rom ( because I have no idea where to find it) which is what I want to do again
Have I deleted the stock rom?
Is there a way to get back to the stock rom in this case? Or what should I do?!?
In desperate need of help guys!!
Cheers
Nothing to worry.
Virtuous rom, you need to flash latest firmware in order for this rom to work. Read rom guide carefully, there is a guide how to flash virtuous rom in development section if I remember correctly.

would you be able to link me to the instructions on how to do that ?
you can take your sd card out and plug it in your computer and put the PG58IMG.zip in the root of the sd card and virtuous quattro in any folder
after that get the sd card in the device go to bootloader flash the new firmware (keep in mind tho that to flash the new firmware you have to be superCID) then go to recovery wipe and flash virtuous quattro and youre all set
heres the thread were you can find the new firmware:

re download the rom.. sounds like a bad download... if you wanna run ics... download new firmware name it whatever it's supposed to be name... put it on the base of the sdcard... sdcard/ ok now have your downloaded rom and the firmware on the sdcard. not a folder just in the base directory... ok in recovery wipe everything first... data cache system boot... everything except sdcard... then flash/install the rom.... then reboot to bootloader in the power options in ext4 recovery , the bootloader will read the firmware file... should be named pd58img or something like that (dont quote the file name i could be wrong) anyways the bootloader will pick it up and ask you if you wanna update, hit volume up for yes... after it's done hit the power button again to reboot and all should be welll with ics... oh and then hit the thanks button for me..... you really just need to open to browser windows... one where you download the firmware read how they say to install one for the rom read how they say install and then look at my post... with all the info here i think u can figure it out... sorry if i aint making sense i just wored 14 hours... gotta sleep now... good luck

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Sensation due to my own fault.
I want to flash ARHD ICS rom to my phone, and I started with rooting my Sensation. I followed all instruction til installing the Recovery (PG58IMG).
I downloaded two versions of PG58IMG (one for ICS and one for the other), but I copied the firmware for ICS version to my SD card and already installed it. Now, my phone already S-off but cannot reboot into homescreen. It keeps rebooting it self in white hTC screen (after I installed the ICS firmware).
I don't know how to fix. I tried to read the troubleshoot in the post but I still cannot fix it. Does anyone have a solution??
Thanks in advance

If I understand you correctly you flashed the firmware upgrade BEFORE you flashed the new ICS rom? If so you'll need to get your sdcard card out (and get your computer to read it) so you can rename the PG85img on your sdcard so you can get back into recovery so you can flash the new ICS rom.

Yes, I flashed the upgraded firmware before not only I flashed ICS rom, but also I get rooted. Now, I can't flash any rom as well as su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip or su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip.
It still keep bootlooping. I tried to flash the other firmware, but it showed 'CID incorrect'. I don't know how to fix now
Did you check MD5 Sums before you flashed the ROM because it sounds like a bad download so re-download the ROM and reflash

I did check MD5 sums for all files I downloaded and it is corrected.
Now, I'm curious that whether it is possible to flash the upgraded firmware before being rooted.
And of course you need to be using the right version of the firmware for the rom you want to flash. Mike's latest uses 3.24 per here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
I don't know if you can get into fastboot or not, but you should be able to check the CID of your phone there, and download the right firmware for your phone. If your phone is carrier independent (i.e. didn't get on contract) then the HTC__xxx variety should be good.

Thank you so much for your link. I can boot my Sensation into the homescreen now. For my problem, I have to download and flash the older version (3.17) to fix it.
Thanks all of you for your reply again.
+1 for me, solve with a new download .
Just flash the Mod, the bootloop is normal.
I got the same problem, before i flashed Revolution Rom i used that radio package. After the radio package flash, my phone wass stuck in a bootloop.
I took the memory card out en removed the zip file en flashed the revolution rom. After that my phone started normal.
SOrry for the bad enlgish.
Good luck mate.
hey, guys i just had the same problem, kinda. lol
anyways my phone is rooted, s-off and superCID
when i went to install the new ics rom i did everything this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
said to do and when the new root booted up for the first time, it would go up to the beats audio logo,( the ics rom with beats audio (xe)) then like restart back to the htc startup logo, then beats again then htc again, it just kept doing this..??
so i just deleated everything and restored back to origional backup rom.
so what did i do wrong?
a bad download link/file? can u give me a good one?
thanks, any help is greatly appreciated as iam totally lost right now...
edit:
also do i even need this file (PG58IMG.zip.) to flash the ics rom if my phone is superCID ??? iam confused on that part.
nevermind, figured it out and got it work! the new ics is pretty sweet!!
thanks for everything- towards all the developers and testers on here
Cool. The answer is yes of course. The firmware file contains a specific radio / hboot / etc version. The ROM you download and install is dependent on certain combinations of the firmware versions you have. The super cid just allows you to flash any of the firmwares available here... Otherwise you have to find the specific one for your region and/or carrier.
Also, don't forget you can use an adb logcat while your phone is booting to see if you can diagnose any boot-looping issues. Just run that command on your PC with your phone attached via USB cable

To do so,
1. Download the correct firmware version ( PG58IMG.zip V3.24 ) and copy it to the root of your SDCARD.
Be 200% sure that the downloaded zip file is not corrupted. ( Check the MD5 checksum after you download)
2. Pull Back the battery and wait for a minute.
3. Put the battery and press POWER+VOLUME Down Key together.
4. Your phone will detect the firmware.
5. Follow the screen and complete the flashing.
6. Download the ICS based ROM of your favor.
7. Boot into recovery and flash your rom.

No you didn't do everything the thread said to do because you're stuck in a bootloop. And yes, you must have correct firmware to run any ICS ROM.
1. SuperCID.
2. Load correct firmware for ROM version you wish to flash (there are 3 different firmwares, 3.06, 3.12 and 3.24. Make sure you've got the right one.
Put PG58IMG.zip on the root of your damn SD card.
Put the ROM you want on the root of your damn SD card.
Put a wipe or superwipe script on the root of your damn SD card.
So far it's easy, no?
Boot to bootloader, select FASTBOOT, select yes to update.
Watch the phone. You should see it flash some partitions, reboot itself, then flash the radio and some other crap.
When done you should be at correct HBOOT and radio.
Now, pull the battery. Pull the SD card.
Insert the battery. Start the phone with power + Volume down.
Move cursor to recovery.
Insert SD card and select recovery.
Flash the wipe script, flash the ROM.
Now if you did everything exactly like this, you will boot to normal phone in about 10 minutes or so.
This has been spelled out 50 times in 50 threads, including threads devoted to nothing but this procedure.
Your phone is a machine. It can only do what you tell it to do. If you screw up, it's screwed up. If you do everything exactly right, in the right order, carefully checking each step, your phone will behave.
Try again.
Do it right. Do it carefully.

To the Guru of this forum. After my last rom flashing my device is keeping booting into recovery :crying:. Is it briked ? If so my only hope is the unbricking project ? Thanks in advance.

Can you use the power menu within recovery to boot into bootloader?
Also, please provide as much pertinent info as possible, ie: rom you flashed, firmware, s-off or s-on, locked or unlocked. With your description it's basically like saying, "my car makes a noise all the time. what is causing it?".

I've format everything but SD. Restored the most recent back up done today before flashing. Once it reboots HTC logo comes up once, black screen, HTC logo, 4Ext is coming up saying that smartflash it is set to update the boot partition on next system start asking if this should be removed.
I've downloaded and installed again PG58IMG *different files using bootloader
I've founded a 3.33.401.6-Unsecured-Boot.img,+Root+Busybox zip file that can be installed via recovery but it did not help.
At this point I need a bit of help to look into the right direction and I'm not sure that Unbrick_Pyramid is the right way.

If you can install clockworkmod that may help.
Tge device isnt getting the message that it has already booted into recovery once. So something may be jacked up with 4ext.
Clockwork may bypass all that when it doesnt know what to do with that signal to run smartflash.
Worst case scenario...put a full pm58img containing a rom and recovery on the sf card and flash that through bootloader.
You should still be able to get to bootloader as the device looks for that option first.

And did that help? Are you able to get into recovery without errors now? If so you should be able to flash a fresh version of any ROM.
Try that first. Get any ROM. Flash it. See if it boots.
If you have successfully replaced 4EXT I will bet a fresh flash of a ROM will now boot.
Also worth a shot is replacing or upgrading the firmware, as that could be what's sending the phone into recovery on each boot (though this is less likely that 4EXT just being broken)
Flash a firmware PM58IMG like 3.32 or 3.33 and see if that helps.
But for starters, put a fresh ROM on the SD card and flash it with CWM. (BE SURE IT'S A ROM THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE 4EXT!!)
Once you've got it all fixed you can switch back to 4EXT. I have a feeling it was just the copy you were running that got botched. The software itself is solid and stable. A new copy shoudl work fine now.
CWM v5.0.2.0 was installed fine.
3.33 firmware installed once again.
Using this I've installed ROM that I already did in the past w/o luck, they all sit on the HTC logo. Is like the initial boot sequence is broken. Is boot.img part of the firmware or ROM ?
Trying to download some additional ones.
Thanks,

The more details you give, the better the answers will be. Don't consider any detail too small.
What do you mean you installed ROM's that you had done in the past? Do you mean you are trying to restore a backup made with 4EXT?
That won't work. You need to flash a fresh version of the ROM after wiping.
Also, CWM won't install some ROM's that you may have used in the past. What ROM are you trying to install?
The HTC logo that first pops up when you hit the power button is part of the firmware.
Make sure you do a full wipe of everything but the SD card from within CWM. Get whatever's causing the problem off that way. Then flash a fresh install of a ROM from scratch.
Hi.
I did not use any backup only fresh ROMs: ARHD, Elegantia, but also stock ROMs I could find.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029432
Also, Is there a STOCK rom like just a flashable.zip on here? Please someone help. Thanks guys hope to be able to contribute alot to the ONE x down the line.
To flash that ROM, download to your phone, or copy it from your computer to the phone's SD. In TWRP do a factory reset, wipe Dalvik and cache, flash the ROM. If you are on hboot 1.14, flash the boot.img using fastboot (you have to extract it from the ROM zip using a unzip program on your computer).
For stock rooted ROMs (flashable in TWRP just like custom ROMs) look under stock rooted in my index thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
Thanks for the response..
What is hboot 1.14? Is that another recovery?
Btw, how do I know what stock rooted rom is for me? I have a ATT htc one x
When i do find the stock one, do I just download to my phone, factory reset, wipe dalvik and cache and flash it? Or do i need other specials instructions..?
Sorry for all the questions, I am so used to Samsung s2 flashing, so there are a few things that i need to get used to.
Like what is a bootloader?

Phone is rooted and I assume it also has bootloader.. Because when i go to reboot options previously it said reboot to bootloader..
I downloaded clean rom 5.1
Put on my SD card
went into recovery
wiped data/factoryreset
Install Clean ROM
Clean rom took me to aroma
I selected everything I wanted in Aroma
Aroma froze at 10%
I waited
Then I got inpatient and thought its frozen to I powered it down to start over
now its bootlooping
Cant get back into recovery... Just watching it flash white to HTC screen then to the colorful X...
Press and hold volume down and power button until bootloader white screen appears.
Use volume keys to navigate .Go down to recovery and click power button to select it.you should now boot into recovery.
I think you just need to be patient and wait.
If not.
Go flash the boot.img file from the cleanrom zip in fastboot

You actually need to release the power button to actually get the bootloader screen to come up. But keep holding volume down rocker until the bootloader screen appears.
Alright, i got that to work! thanks alot..
I just really need some help getting back to the stock ROM. i opened your page about the stock ROM directory but cannot figure out which one best suits me.. to give some background..
The phone is currently running on CM10 rom, It is unlocked and rooted of course..
It is the ATT dual core version S4 processor..
Which stock ROM is best for me and how do I flash it if I am on CM10.?
Thanks you have been very helpful, good to know theres people like you to help.. im coming from the galaxy s2 and alot of this stuff is like french to me..

All of the ROMs and mods listed on my index thread will work for your version of phone. If you want a stock experience, AT&T stock 2.20 is probably a good enough place to start as any.
Hboot (bootloader) is the white screen that comes up after you've done the volume down/power sequence. On that screen it will tell you what hboot version you are on. What version do you have?

Ok this is what the white screen says exactly. From this can you tell me if my bootloader is unlocked or do i have to do that first?..

So i guess i have hboot 1.14, does this also mean my bootloader is unlocked and if so, how would i flash that stock ROM?
Thanks man you have been a big help thus far
Yes, bootloader is unlocked, and hboot is 1.14.
Also, please confirm that your recovery is TWRP (should have a blue screen that says "Team Win" when you boot recovery. If not, come back here and tell us.
Normally, all you would have to do to flash the stock rooted ROM is:
1) Download or move the file to the phone's internal SD memory.
2) Go into hboot, then boot TWRP recovery.
3) In TWPR (NOT in hboot) go to "Wipe" and do a factory reset. You will lose any data on the phone, except the SD. So back anything up you don't want to lose before you start any of this.
4) Wipe Dalvik and cache
5) Select "Install" in TWRP and select the ROM file.
6) Wait until its done flashing and select "reboot".
Now, since you are on hboot 1.14, you have an added complication. The hboot plugged the hole by which boot.img was flashed automatically in recovery. Since you can no longer do this, you have to extract it and flash it from your computer using a tool called fastboot. In short, the steps are:
a) Setup fastboot using the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
b) With the ROM file on your computer, use a unzip program to open the ROM zip file.
b) In the base directory, you should see a file called "boot.img". Unzip this file, and move it to the folder that contains fastboot.exe (that you just setup in step (a).
c) Connect your phone via USB, go into bootloader, and select fastboot mode.
d) Flash the boot.img with the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
e) Reboot
This is probably a bit overwhelming, as having hboot 1.14 forces you to learn how to use fastboot (which is in itself, a bit intimidating). But if you want to do any other ROM flashing, you should know how to do this, as your hboot will require it for almost all ROMs.
Alternately, you can just try to flash CleanROM again. Not sure why it stalled, it should work fine. Plus, CleanROM flashes the boot.img for you, so no need to do it separately. This would at least get you on a somewhat stock, Sense based ROM to start with. And CleanROM is quite nice. Its mostly stock, just a few added features, performance enhancements, and bloat is cleaned up.
Yes I do have twrp recovery 2.3.XX
Ok I will go through those steps and ask any questions if I get stuck..
Btw how would you suggest flashing clean rom? I tried it according to OP instructions but no dice..
what are the proper wiping procedures for it?
Thanks again you are alot of help I feel better about keeping this phone
EDIT: Just flashed clean rom again to try it out..
I flashed like this
reboot to TWRP
wipe factory reset, wipe dalvik, cache,
flash rom
go through aroma install boot.img
put all the addons i want
let it rip, then it rebooted, and started to bootloop so im now restoring a back up..
Do i need to wipe SYSTEM after i factory reset?
EDIT: Looking for the 2.20 stock rom, but the mirror is gone/download is gone.. do you know where I can find another download for it? Its not on scottsroms.com any more
Wiping SYSTEM is not needed. It just formats the portion of the memory the ROM resides, so this gets wiped when you flash the ROM, anyway.
Not sure why CleanROM is not flashing or booting. I'm on the older hboot. You may go over to the CleanROM thread, and do some reading, or ask there.

Im going to give it another go using the Hboot method, wish me luck thanks for all your help.
Ima try that light ACR rom.. i asked about earlier, i assume its going to be the same flashing procedure using the hboot.
thanks!
I believe I have given up. This whole ADB. fastboot, hboot, thing is driving me nuts. Im going to sell this phone and just get one stock unrooted. Its pretty smooth stock anyways..
Thanks for your help again.

Sell it and buy a new one stock unrooted? Why not just lock the bootloader and run the RUU to return to stock unrooted?
Hey guys,
Having some problems with this ROM. I downloaded the ZIP, used Titanium backup to back it all up, and flashed the Rom with no problems at all...got through all the screens and whatnot, and upon launching for the first time it's stuck on the "Beats Audio" screen. Not really sure why or what happened. I'm coming from MIUI ROM and haven't had issues with flashing any other ROM before.
One thing I noticed is on the HD 7.3 first page there is a firmware update that you apparently need before you flash the ROM but all links are 404/not found.
Wondering if any of you pros can offer a hand?

In looking at my Hboot, it's old as sin....I'm using Revolutionary Hboot 1.17.1111 and Radio 10.14.9035.01_M
I run clockwork recovery mod v5.0.2.0 as well. This could be an issue causing the problem. I've been using the MIUI ROM for probably 2 years or so because I enjoyed it but I'm ready for a change. Apparently my phone doesn't agree. lol.
You want me to connect via USB and run the cmd prompt for the getvar command and let you know what it says?

there is no need to do it now
you gave me exactly what i need
you still have gb firmware that's why you can't boot ARHD 7.3(ics rom)
see this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
flash 3.33 universal
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
The speedy reply is much appreciated.
I'll go ahead and update the firmware and see where that lands me. I figured it could have been a problem from the get go but in the original thread for the HD 7.3 Rom the firmware link has been removed (likely since it was from 2011)
Thanks for the point in the right direction Rzr, and I'll let you know how it goes!

Hmmm....the firmware update didn't work.
I can verify that I'm on the firmware 3.3, Hboot is 1.27.1100, Radio is 11.24A.3504.31_M.
Each time Hboot is run it asks if I want to start the update. If I select yes, I've got 9 on screen options that it runs through and tells me "Update complete. Press power to reboot" The only way to do anything at all is to take out the SD card so it does not try to load up the firmware zip
Pushing power reboots the phone on an endless boot loop. Regardless of what ROM is being used (I also downloaded cyanogenmod) I can not make it past the spash screen.
Could it be that I'm just flashing the ROM incorrectly? To my knowledge I've followed instructions for both and have backed up my phone and it's contents and done everything from a factory reset/wipe to wiping the dalvik cache, etc. I didn't have this many problems rooting my phone and putting on MIUI to begin with and have flashed ROMS before with no trouble....not really sure where I'm going wrong on this one.
Anyway, I'll await your reply.
Thank you!

Update: awww frick. So now it looks like this will be more difficult....I hope you like a challenge. I can now no longer get into my phone. It appears that it's soft bricked. I have tried going to a clockwork mod recovery from my first MIUI in 2012, it goes through the entire process of factory resetting restoring the boot image, system and data information. It asks for a reboot which I do. It goes to the white HTC splash screen and the MIUI initializes and goes black immediately. There doesn't seem to be a way to get my phone connected to my computer to get into the SD card to troubleshoot from inside the phone. Hopefully one of you guys has the answer for me. Is there any way to get into it via bootloader usb?

remove the pg58img.zip from your sdcard so it won't scan and identify any pg58img.zip file
and don't restore your miui rom because probably is a gb one and now you have an ics firmware installed
just download an ics or jb rom
put it on your sdcard
full wipe from recovery
flash the rom
done

With the phone being in a boot loop I can't get it detected by my computer to remove/add anything from the SD card. I do have the HD 7.3 ROM on and the Gapps that's required but it never makes it past the "beats audio" splash screen. I have no idea what's going on with it but will try any suggestions you've got up your sleeve.
Ahhhhh....I've gotten a fix for this!
I was unable to do anything because of the update zip which wanted me to update every time bootloader was initiated. By keeping my case off I removed my SD card to be able to boot in recovery and then put the SD card back in to load the HD 7.3 zip from the card. This seemed to take care of the problem.
Thanks for the help Rzr
