Sense ROM Question - HTC Sensation

Hello,
I just got my Sensation on Friday and was trying to load the DarkForest ROM onto it this evening. I got through the installation, but it hung at the white HTC screen. Other Sensation users in that thread said that it works for them. Does anyone know what I can do to get these ROM's working? I also tried installing Android Revolution ROM and it did the same thing.
Thanks!

Just to clarify are you trying to install ICS or gingerbread roms? Do you have the correct firmware HBoot 1.17 for gingerbread and 1.27 for ICS.

Yeah you most probably do not have the correct, ICS, firmware. Look in the ROM thread (here) for the correct firmware to flash.

Go to Jonny's post on the thread. The appropriate firmware is there. Flash it via the bootloader

Hi,
What ROM are you actually trying to download and install?
See now I'm confused. Your title says you can't download but your post says you can't flash. Now which is it? Cause everyone is giving you solutions on how to download.
If downloading is the problem, see posts 3 and 4
If flashing is your problem, see post 2 (mine)
I'm mobile right now
You only need new firmware for ICS ROM, not for 3.6.x. what are you trying to flash?

Why don't you try asking in the ROM thread. That way the ARHD team are more likely to provide support also.
I'm sorry for the mix-up...I'm having problems flashing the ARHD 6.0.2 ics rom.Probably because i have'nt got super cid and the latest firmware yet.I appreciate the help and again i'm sorry.

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)

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. :'(

Is there a nooby easy easy guide to downgrade it back to Gingerbread but keep rooted

He means to check your firmware.
When upgrading to ICS you need to update your firmware. There's a thread by mike1986 that'll help you. You can find it in developer thread.

Yes, you need a newer firmware that's running ICS correctly.
It as been updated to the latest firmware to run ICS but the lad I bought it off said then's when all the problems began. So I was thinking of trying to downgrading it back to gingerbread [stock or custom rom] to see if that would sort the problems out

Have you installed a Custom Firmware or a Stock-Rom from ICS?
What firmware has you installed yet?
it was already rooted with a custom ISC rom installed So it came straight from a stock gingerbread rom to a custom ISC rom
Hello Freddy!
Have you tried to install another custom rom or re-install the one you already have? My guess is that it's not ICS that's messing with you but rather the ROM/firmware is. My tip for a rom is Ordroid (You can find it in the developer section of the sensation forum).
I don't know how experienced you are with rooting/flashing roms etc but when you go from one ROM to the other it's recommended to format the different partions (except SD-card).
Also here is a thread about different firmwares and how to install them if you don't want to change rom and just try a different firmware to see if it gets any better
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Here you have an all-in-one thread linking to different guides and fixthreads etc as well

How do you know if your downloading the right firmware [Unlocked UK sensation]
You can also download the latest ICS RUU. Then you will be completely stock, with the correct firmware. from there you can always try custom roms If you don't like the stock ones.
You can find the RUU's in the Pyramid Shipped Roms thread in de developers section

Hi
I decided to try and restore it to stock gingerbread rom put am not sure what rom and firmware I will need
You van download the RUU in the Shipped roms thread, If you run the RUU then everything will be installeren, firmware, radio, rom etc.
You can find the thread in the developers section. For europe you need the RUU with RUU_PYRAMID_1.50.401.2 in it's file name.

usually
go to the development section of htc sensation and look for virtuous or another ics and inside that same post, they will tell you which pyramid you can install, for your cellphone,
Flash a stock GB RUU so you will be putting the phone back to out of the box.Then start fresh reading all the tutorials available
am not sure which one i would need though
http://db.tt/1vf53aOI
This is a link for the 1.45 europe RUU. You can update it OTA to 1.50 to get the latest Gingerbread rom. Make sure you have the correct CID either HTC__001 or superCID.
If you want to flash the stock ICS rom then here's the RUU for that: http://db.tt/KLhJSmgk

Sorry for all the questions what is CID either HTC__001 or superCID.

CID... Is carrier identification.. It is to identify which model is linked to which carrier or whether it is unbranded.
A device with a particular cid.. Only receives update from that carrier only. (eg recently TMOBILE US ppl got ics)
If your cid is HTC__001 then your phone is Europe unbranded (not linked to any carrier) one
Now supercid is a unique cid (11111111)
That lifts carriers restrictions.. If you got supercid you can install official rom's (RUU) of any carrier and any country

Its unlocked to work with any network Is the supercid part of the rooting process

HTC Sensation red triangle after trying to install OTA ICS for TMobile

Hello,
I hope someone can help me out.
I few months ago I unlocked and rooted my phone, but I never installed a custom ROM.
This morning I wanted to install the new ICS 4.0 OTA update for TMobile and during the boot process I got the famous red triangle sign error...
What am I doing wrong, what can I do to update to ICS OTA?
Thanks,
Amel
First - Post things like this in the Q&A Section
Secondly - Did you install a custom recovery? I Expect you did! You have to have stock recovery for OTA Updating
shoot
please move this to Sensation General forum

I followed the instructions, however it would not run the TMOUS RUU
I noticed that my phone was on s-ON
So I ran Revolutionary to s-OFF my phone
that fixed the RUU being applied
after the RUU was applied I ran the ICS OTA update and it worked

Now what is that? Devs cannot and must never be rushed? I've programmed robits, and I've been rushed a lot. Developers aren't some sacred monks or other, I mean, it's rude to rush them, especially if you're not paying them, but we don't need to act as if we're below them and they're The Great Developers And Or Modders of Android.
Or you shouldn't rush them unless you want a bug filled rom.

Hi,
They are essentially the same firmwares(3.32),so YES,you can flash the new ROM with either. <---you answered...
And my question is: I have 3.32.709.108 CL318920 release-keys
Is it that it only needs to be 3.32.xxxx or must I have one of the two listed above? I just don't wanna do a step that I don't have to...eagerly awaiting for the rom to be posted!

Hi,
Any firmware with 3.32 at the beginning is good to flash the arhd ROM.
My advice is, keep what you have.
If it works, great.
If it doesn't, flash the other firmware.

Elegancia TMOUS 2.0.0 already has beats on it. And there is only good feedback about the Rom. It comes with aroma installer so you can install exactly what you want and need (beats is standard though)
