[Q] Rom Installation Problem - HTC Sensation

Hi,
I tried almost all the roms to see wich one fits me the most and when testing all the roms I came across a problem that I can't manage to solve myself.
Here is the problem:
I downloaded Elegancia rom (ICS) and it worked fine, installed fine, etc. But I saw that they had a rom Elegancia (gingerbread) so I thought what's the diffrence and wanted to put the gingerbread rom on my phone. But here starts my problem. After installing the rom like I always did and starting up my phone, it keeps booting (htc logo, elegancia logo, off, htc logo, elegancia,logo, off,...). So I tried many diffrent roms again to see where the problem lies and it seems that I can only use ICS based roms now. The gingerbread roms (wich I also tried before) doesn't work for me anymore and after installation of a gingerbread based rom it keeps starting up.
Can anyone tell me how to get the gingerbread rom back to work?
Greetings Crasherke

you had to install a other firmware, dont know the number but youll find it in the firmware thread use something under the newest it will help
edit: here it is download and install 1.17 and it will work
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
EDIT2: And next time search! here are a lot of threads with the same problem! For example (Want back Gingerbread) it is too much work for you to search first than make a thread?

I found a firmware thread and read it. If I'm right, the I have the 3.24 version and I need the 3.12 version for gingerbread to work. It wasn't smart of me to assume that a higher version of firmware is compatible with all previous roms. Thanks for the quick reply and you point me right back into the right direction.
Greetings Crasherke

im not good with hardware stuff but try the following things:
firmware 3.24/3.25 and install ARHD 6.2.1 doesnt work?
firmware 1.17/3.12 and install ARHD 4.1.13 doesnt work?
it is a hardware fault and you need to make it s-on and factory reset and bring it to htc and ask for a replacment

i dont understund what is your problem, is it with touchscreen like i had?
actually my touchscreen working very well, just touchscreen wount work with ICS roms.
so if you have same problems, then easy solution is to use 3.12 fw and some gingerbread rom.
im looking forward to have ICS rom working, so far no luck

You should let him know that eventually in GB it won't work anymore either. I wonder what is causing the TSD to burn out, or not work.

This is definitely one of the weirdest things ever ... new fw, new drivers and still not working. How come is that related to the OS?
Hi Guys,
I had the same issues with the tochscreen not responding. I tryed different firmwares and roms but the tochscreen did not work at all.
Now I'am back on Gingerbread and Hboot 1.17 everything works again.
Strange, hope the Problem would be fixed. but i don't think so. Nobody elese seems to have that problem.
Anyway thanks for your support.

This is getting popular
i will try now latest 3.32 firmware and ARHD.. hope that helps...
LATER...
..and still no luck.. so i will put old firmware and ginger back..
So any info about, how to resolve this problem would be awesome! my phone just dont like ICS rom..GB roms are ok
i have the same problem, but my problems got bigger.
i never did something to my sensation xe before.
I received from HTC OTA ICS. So i installed it. After it was done, i can move my lockring, but when i release it, my phone hangs. Same problem with simcard insert. I can touch a number and then the phone hangs.
After this i got some help and i unlocked my phone with htc dev unlock. Installed 4ext. With 4 ext my touchscreen works as a charme.
Installed ARHD 6... and rebooted. Same problem, can touch 1 time and then phone hangs.
My biggest problem now is that i have HBoot 1.27. I need to downgrade Hboot to install gingerbread again, witch worked fine before.
Can anyone help me with this?? Is it already possible to s-off and go back to Hboot 1.17??
Where can i download: ARHD 4.1.1.3??
Problem Solved
i got the ICS on my phone today! and touchscreen working!
i tried several roms with right firmwares etc but nothing and now i finally tried stock recovery:
http://vi8.info/HTC-Sensation/Stock-Recovery/
i used this rom package: PG58IMG.zip Full hTC Stock RUU 3.33.401.6 (All-in-1-ZIP-ICS) , i placed it into sd card and rebooted to bootloader, there you need to flash it like firmware and it updates everything.
so, now i have ICS and now probally i need to root it again.
problem solved!

[q] bricked? Arhd bootloop

Hey guys, I been away from the sensation for a few months now and I think I bricked it on my first flash back! I was flashing ARHD & I followed the noob guide, I downloaded firmware & updated, deleted the firmware file, performed super wipe, flashed the rom, and I checked my md5 sums. Now I'm bootlooping the white HTC splash screen, and sometimes I see the beats audio symbol but right back to the slash screen! Ahhh.... I use this line for work. I used the 3.30 firmware as it said to & I'm on boot 1.27? I know one of you guys can help, so please ANYONE,I've got a get this fixed tonight.....
well if its booting then fortunately you're not bricked lol
have you tried re flashing the new firmware?
I flashed the 3.30 that the installation guide I was following told me to. I have ext 2.2, so is that an issue or is it the correct recovery.
Anyone who can walk me through this I'd really appreciate it guys. Just like most, I rely on my phone for work. I'm a little worried here, I've flashed quite a few times and I've never had an issue like this that I couldn't restore out of.....
Try this??
what I did was everything you did.. except I used this firmware update...
Firmware from 3.30.401.1 & 3.30.401.101 RUU
--- MD5 checksum: 824295C6ACDC8D55BED9E0B913192DBE *PG58IMG.zip ---
--- Only for 3.30.401.1 & 3.30.401.101 based ROMs
Then I installed the ICS Energy rom, and everything works great.. I've also flashed a few other roms without issues.. I haven't tried the arhd yet.. I'm currently running the virtuous AOSP rom.. and still, everything works great.. I hope this helps
Just a side note.. have you tried formatting the sdcard then trying that setup? I did have issues with my sdcard in the beginning, but after formatting, I've had no issues..Also make sure the ROM you're using is made for the correct firmware, otherwise you'll have bootloops! hope this helped!
That's the same firmware I used, and I've ran the firmware upgrade twice now. Now right after I updated the firmware the first time I did it, I rebooted on accident & it wouldn't boot even before I flashed arhd.... is this normal?
It wouldn't boot into hboot? What I did was put all the needed files on my sdcard, flashed the firmware, removed the sdcard(while the phone is powered on).. booted into the rom, then put the scdard back in and removed the firmware update..then rebooted the phone, then wiped and loaded an ICS rom..that was really about all I did.. and so far all works well.. I'm really at a loss as to what the problem on your end is.. it sounds like you've done everything you're suppose to do..
You could try to run the relevant ruu (assume you have s-off?) and start again?

Update::II flashed Virtuous and had no issues and everything is running perfect. Looks just like my transformer prime now. I doing know why at this point that my system would not play nice with ARHD, I followed the guide to the letter and I flashed the firmware 3.30 several timed just as directed. None the less, I am satisfied with this from, and my device is much smoother and more productive than the ****ty GS2 by T-Mobile that I had been using the last few months! I just can't retire my Sensation. Thank you to all who chimed in, you're a great community!
Bricked
That happened to me too when I tried to install ICS without updating the firmware
first.
I just re-booted to recovery and did a restore. I'm assuming you backed up your
ROM right?
Then at least your phone will go back to normal and you can start over...and use it for work haha
I'm good now on virtuous, but I just couldn't get ARHD to work for me. Yes I had upgraded to the proper firmware first, and I always compare md5 sums. I'm by no means an expert, but I always research, read and ask all the nessecary questions before I flash anything I'm not familiar with. I think there may just be rare occasions when some of the devices just won't play nice with certain software. Virtuous took on the first flash & I'm actually very pleased with it, so all's well that ends well. ICS is just so much more intuitive & functional for me

[q] ARHD [htc one x]

Just want to say thanks to mike who made the ARHD rom it works nicely on my first HTC handset.
also i have a few queries maybe someone can help me with.
I installed the ARHD version 2.0.0 straight up.
-i notice some occasions of Flickering screen
read in the main thread and some ppl are reporting same experience, so hopefully this is not just my phone.
-after installation, the first step of initial setup wizard, only have like 5 choices of telcom to choose from? is this normal? i m in Australia and with Vodafone and obviously not in the list so i choose some random telco. is this ok? what does these choices matter to the setup???
Thanks!
Try the latest (v3.1) version of the ROM. It supposed to run very smoothly.
thanks mate.
I just update to the latest ARHD to date, 3.1.0.
Its been so good so far!

[Q] Sense 4 Boot problem or what?

Hello everyone,
I love to try different roms like everyday,
recently I tried Sense 4 Rom InsertCoin,
I don't know if it is ROM or i'm not doing it correctly,
but here's what I did.....
- From arhd 6.6.5 rom, Wiped/Format everything except sdcard
- Flash new firmware, tried two different, one link from arhd thread & other from Firmware's page, TMO-3.32 latest one...
- Flash the ROM........
Now, sometimes, it just turn on in like 15 seconds maximum "brightness lowers & quitely brilliant comes up", sometimes it takes more than 15 minutes & do nothing.
if I accidently get it working, I avoid to reboot, but if I have to, it get itself stuck on HTC screen & I have to reinstall the ROM to make it work again with 4-5 minutes boot time.......
which makes my phone's base hot like real HOT
So any help will be highly appreciated.....
as I am getting more than awesome battery life on this InsertCoin ROM compared to arhd.........
Thanks a lot........
EDIT:
I used official ROM & re-rooted & did all stuff again.....
now used firmware attached with arhd & it's working great......
I don't know what was problem but it's working good now

You shouldn't have flashed the firmware. Both ROMs (mainly all ICS ROMs) use the same 3.32 firmware. So if the firmware you used on ARHD worked fine, it should work on all other ICS ROMs. probably something went wrong while reflashing firmware...
Glad you worked it out in the end.

I had the same issue, are you flashing ARHD with EXT4 recovery?
If so, make sure to enable smart flashing from the tools menu.
That solve my problem.

Help with T-Mobile ICS

Hi,
I've recently had to replace my phone with another SENSATION 4G (bought second-hand, but new). I was originally running an older version of ARHD Gingerbread on my old SENSATION 4G and it was working great. The new phone came with a stock GB, so I decided to go ahead and initiate the ICS OTA update for my phone, but somehow in the middle, it failed. So what happened is that I corrupted my stock ROM and at the same time never had a chance to make a Nandroid backup. I then downloaded ARHD 6.7 ICS and sucessfully installed the custom ROM (followed all procedures to make sure my firmware and radio is updated), BUT everytime I rebooted into first boot, the screen would freeze at the Beats Audio logo (even tried leaving it on for 30min). I then tried different Sense-based ROMs (Elegancia, Dark Forest, original ICS RRU etc) but every time, it would hang at the boot screen. I thought my phone was bricked, but to my surprise, I was able to install smaller AOSP & AOKP based ROMs, like CM9 and Touchcream 2.1, and successfully boot and use them. I really want to be able to use Revolution HD roms to take advantage of my wifi calling, but now just cannot. I'm not totally new to this, as I've just upgraded my sister's Sensation 4G with ARHD 6.7 w/o any problems. I still don't understand why this is happening to my particular phone. Please let me know if you may have a hint of what the problem could be (could the failed OTA ICS update the root of my problem?). Thanks all.
flash a ICS RUU and see
here is the TMOUS ics ruu click me
