Hey guys and Gals, I got my HTC Sensation on the release date and I decided to root it yesterday. Everything went fine and completed the root, then I tried to install THIS ROM after I made a Backup of my old ROM. So the ROM required me to Update ICS Firmware, so I downloaded the file and my phone asked me to update at Bootloader and I hit yes.
So here's my problem, after I tried to reboot my phone would get to the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen, and then restart the process over and over and over. Basically, the phone keeps hanging for about 5sec at the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen, and restarts after.
Sorry if I wrote too much, Please tell what I did wrong here, and if you want more info please ask. I need this phone up and running by tomorrow, PLEASE HELP!

You're sure the firmware update was successful? I don't see you mentioning anything about superCID in there... unless you got one that doesn't require superCID. It appears that some members do the firmware thing and are unaware that they failed to flash the firmware. Make sure you've got that flashed!
Oh and you also wiped prior to flashing right?
Please read the thread of the ROM you are trying to flash your phone with from beginning to end before flashing so you understand exactly what you are doing. Since ICS leaks the forum is littered with a hundred of these help threads.
Have you updated the correct firmware required to run ICS? Did you remember to remove the file from your ad card prior to rebooting the phone? As mentioned above did you super CID your device?

Yes I did SuperCID my phone when I was doing the rooting process. I did everything in that thread, but then flashed the other "PG58IMG" file since the ROM required it and then the flash was "Successfully Updated". No I didnt wipe my phone before I flashed the new firmware. Maybe thats my problem ?
PG58IMG file has to be deleted from the sd card after flashing firmware before the phone boots or you will get bootloop. From recovery, power off, remove the ad card and put it into a cardreader on your pc and delete the file, reinsert the ad card into phone and boot into recovery then you can flash the ROM.

The only thig I'd add is to SuperWipe before installing the new ROM. There is one on the ARHD thread in the OP.
Ok guys, it worked I flashed the ICS ROM and its working perfectly. Now what if I want to go back to an Android 2.3.X ROM, what do I do ?
Thanks a Million times :]
You flash the appropriate Firmware and either flash a ROM based on Gingerbread, or flash one of the RUUs.

My Inspire is having issues:
I flashed this rom using RomManager. Being stupid, when I put the rom on my SD card I deleted PD98IMG.zip from the rooting process. I went on to flash my ROM and am now stuck at the bootlogo with the CoreDroid spinning. It seems to have loaded but is stuck at that logo, because when I hit Menu or Home it vibrates as if doing it. I can access the bootloader and everything, but cannot flash PD98IMG.zip because I deleted it. I used the Inspire simple one click S-OFF to root it, and the program seems to see my device and push the file onto the SD card. Now HBoot won't see PD98IMG.zip so I'm stuck in this cycle. I need help, anyone got an idea of what to do?

Can you get into recovery from the bootloader? If so wipe dalvik, data partition, and data factory reset. The flash the rom you want. Check the clockwork mod version your using. If you have 3.0. 0.5 you need to flash cm7. If you have 2.5. 1.3 flash your coredroid.

Hi, don't worry. It is because whenever you are holding your power+volume- button , it boots into bootloader or HBOOT mode. This mode is intended to flash firmware package . ( i.e radio, HBOOT, Splash etc ) . That is why the bootloader searches your sdcard for the firmware package( PG58IMG.zip).
When it can not find it , it waits for user input , then u select recovery and press the power button.
In fact do not keep any PG58IMG.zip file on your sdcard if you do not want to flash your firmware. If this screen annoys you , you can use QUICKBOOT app from the market. By using this app you can directly boot into recovery. Alternatively u can open a terminal on your phone and type : "reboot recovery" . It will directly boot into recovery. If you are comfortable with adb , then type from your pc in the adb terminal " adb reboot recovery"..
yes thanks but now my phone is stuck in boot loop and i s wipe it then try to reinstall ics rom and still in boot loop any suggestions ?

Now that problem sounds more like a bad flash, re-download the ROM, check MD5 sums and if they match, reflash the ROM. If the MD5 Sums dont match then try another ROM
checked came back ok with a tick so isnt that ill try to install the old gingerbread rom then upgrade.
grrrrr getting frustrated now lol
nope didnt fix it still in boot loop any fix suggestions be greatfully received im lost now as to what to do.

Are u using an ics Rom? Ics 4.0.1 has a dedicated firmware to flash. So also ics 4.0.3 has its separate one. Search for there respective firmware and flash. You will b ok.

Happy to see that you have solved your problem.
Just one request , while asking any question try to give your HBOOT and Radio version i.e the full details of your bootloader screen. This will help people to understand your problem better.
Happy androiding on sensation !!
I came from cm7.1 i flashed the rom the same as i always flashed any other rom. Im not an expert or anything but im not a newb i have done this before. But what i didnt do was a suoerwhipe should i have done that? I followed how you are supposed to install it i even watched tutorial on youtube to make sure i did it right and i did.
What the rom keeps doing is rebooting my phonr and i keep getting stuck on the htc logo. It will go to thr htc logo then reboot thrn go back to the logog then reboot again it does that over and over. And even when i tried to flash my cm7 clockworkmod backup it didnt work it still did it that had me extremely nervous that i was screwed. To fix it i had to refkash the firmware and then fkash the rom again clear the cache and everything all over again.
I thought it was over but then it did it again i and i jusr went back to cm7. I really want to use this rom anybody know why it is doing this? And how i can fix this?

Firstly, you should always superwipe when going to a different ROM (that is, a ROM from a different family).
Secondly, read the first couple of posts in the Inquisition thread and make sure you are using the right firmware.
I am having the same doubt whether you have upgraded the firmware. If you are using ICS version of virtuous inquisition you must upgrade the firmware with v3.24 (Revolutionary) which has the HBOOT 1.27 . Please go through the following thread.

I would suggest you may have failed to delete the firmware .img file from the sd card before you tried to boot the ROM?
Somethings wrong bc mine is 98% stable
Sent From Space Using My ICS Flavored Sensation
When you say firmware are you talking upgrading to 3.24? Because i didnt do that. I thought the only firmware you needed was the one included with the Rom that they tell you to install first. And boomboomer is right i also didnt delete the firmware .img.
But which one of these is causing the problem? Me not deleting the firmware.img off the root of the sd card. Or me not updating my htc firmware to 3.24?
I didnt know you had to update the firmware to 3.24 the first time a flashed this rom like 2 weeks ago i didnt do that and it seemed to work fine i just followed this youtube tutorial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF2OWf0D9XQ
In it it says nothing about updating to 3.24.

3.24 is not "required" by the VI 3.0 rom, but most users that use it experience little to no problems, compared to the previous firmware. Bottom line, it's more stable using 3.24.
Your right i didnt. you think thats whats causing it?
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
You aren't reading the help you're bring offered. Delete the img file to stop the boot loop, if you want then update to 3.24 for better compatibility with ROM 3.0.0.
Ok thanks. Can i upgrade to 3.24 after I flash the rom?

Yes , you can . After flashing the ROM, do not reboot. Just power off. Then remove the sdcard . Put the the firmware file on the root of your sdcard using a pc. Insert the sdcard in phone. Boot into bootloader. Then follow on screen instruction. Hope you knowhow to boot into bootloader.
By the way, why not doing things in traditional way ??? I mean first flash firmware then you flash ROM.
I already flashed the rom and don't have an adapter to plug my sd card into my PC. Can I just download it from my phone and move it to the root of my SD then boot into bootloader?
And I flashed the rom first because i was told updating to 3.24 wasn't required. Plus I was kind of confused as to which 3.24 firmware to download and i just wanted the rom to bad but I have the right firmware now.

Hi there,
I've been flashing roms for more than one year now and never had a problem before (I never did a Nandroid backup )
I was using the Virtuous Inquisomething for the past month but I decided to try the Quattro version. Finding it too laggy, I decided to go back to the Inquisi... But problem, after flashing it, my phone keebs rebooting... Htc logo, shows the V logo (sometimes doesn't), black out, then restarts again. I tried different roms, HD Revolution, Light Rom, even the Quattro that I had before but my phone keeps rebooting. I flashed the Firmware to the 3.30, same thing. I wiped the dalvik cache, the cache and everything I could wipe but I have the same problem !
I tried to flash an original file, a Ruu but my computer can't find my phone because I can only access the ToggleUSB via the recovery
Do you guys know how to fix this? Anyone has a Nandroid Backup that I can use? (Tmobile - Sensation 4G? )
Thank you in advance
Curiously, have you ever superwiped your Sensation while doing all these flashes? There might be some residual files here and there that's just causing chaos inside the phone. D:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 Here's the link for ARHD's original thread which has the superwipe down toward the bottom of the first post under "Downloads" and you just flash it like any other file through the 4EXT touch recovery (if you're using that!).

I see that you only updated to 3.30 firmware. Try updating to the final firmware 3.32 and superwipe before flashing a new rom.
I have HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) and downloaded the 3.2 firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
I used T-Mobile one, though I guess it didn't matter because I have superCID. When I turn my phone on it keeps restarting at the white HTC screen, vibrates, then HTC screen again. Can't start up my phone.
Don't think it matters..but I did delete "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed" a while back.
Just put the correct PG58IMG on ur SD card and let the bootloader do the update once again ..
Remember also to remove the pg58img file from the sd card after the installation of the firmware

Also keep in mind that when you install new firmware you have to wipe and reinstall your ROM. A lot of times the Cache and sometimes the Data partitions will corrupt when you install new firmware, so you will need to grab a flash-able ZIP of your current ROM (or Android Revolution HD, it's nice as well!).
Go into recovery mode, wipe everything but your SD card (of course) then install your ROM again from your SD card.

Yeah, it's for ICS ROMs, but I would think it would still work with Gingerbread. I'm not sure. I know from experience that if you flash a new Radio, RIL, Firmware, etc it is recommended to reflash your ROM, no matter what ROM you're on. Since the OS relies on the firmware, RIL, and Radio that you were using before, it can't load the new package without a wipe.
The situation is kind of like switching ROMs and then dumping the Data and Cache partitions from your OLD ROM onto the new ROM before it even boots. In most cases, it won't boot.
