Hi sensation forum...
I am new to sensation, but not new to android or HTC, as i have 4 different phones with custom firmware on them...
But the sensation give me a lot of problems for some reason...
I have tried ARHD 5.0.2 and Insert Coin 4.0.4, i have also tried Virtuous Inquisition v1.3.0 and HyperSensation CM7.1 v1.2.
The last one is not even ICS based...
All of them give me random reboot cycles...
I have tried 3 different radios also...
Nothing have helped me so far...
I still have a lot of random reboots...
(about every 2-10 min)
When i flash the firmware i use ARHD´s super delete script, but to be shure, i also format everything from within Recovery...
What more can i do here ??
Pleace,if your phone is stable, can you tell me exactly what rom/radio/kernal/ril you use...
My phone was rock stable with factory firmware....
Hey,
When installing roms on the sensation, make sure you follow the guides in the particular thread. It is also important to match recommended radios and rils that go with the specific rom. Make sure you are S-off and cid 11111111. When you are switching roms, you should only have to run the superwipe script, it will set all the partitions for you so that you can flash the rom you choose. Also, before you install ICS, it is recommended that you superwipe BEFORE installing the actual rom to prevent unwanted isssues. Before you do anything else, give me a rundown on what you are currently running.

I have exactly this issue.
I installed ICS Revolution. I had successfully got S-OFF, Installed ClockWork Recovery (updated to latest version), permanently Rooted & obtained SuperCID. I updated radio as recommnded by mike1986 in the ICS post, and wiped the phone with Revolution Super_wipe_Sensation first.
It seemed to run fine apart from Doplhin HD which refused to run properly (so switched to Opera Mobile). However I started to get random reboots.
After a bit I thought to try Insert Coin ICS instead.
I have noticed no real difference in performance and have the identical issue with Dophin HD (back to Opera mobile again).
However I also still have the identical random rebooting issue with this ROM. What else can I do?

As stated, I did that before installing Revloution's ICS. BUT I didn't do it before installing Insert Coin. Should I have?

I did that with Revolution as well as with Insert Coin this time around. Running the latest version
I'm having the same issue. Did a text book install of AHRD. Everything went super smoothly, but getting these reboots. I have tried to swipe everything, have the latest radio and recommended fw and keep getting these crashes. Not only it's driving me nuts but it makes the phone unuseable... I can't believe we're just 2 to have these problems... Isn't there some king of log we can pull to see what's causing the crash ?
---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------
I suspect it has to do with processor speed that's been tweaked in these roms, but can't seem to find a way to tune it back to stock on the ICS rom...
sorry for the late reply, been busy with holiday stuff.. anyhow, make sure you are NOT installing any mods that are not compatible with the current ICS build. I have had no problems switching between ARHD 3.6.10 and ICS 5.0.2. As long as you have s-off and CID 1111111, you should be good to go. When I changed up from 3.6.10 to ICS 5.0.2, I turned off my phone, went into bootloader, selected the option for recovery, then flashed the superwipe script. After it finished flashing that, it rebooted back into recovery. Following that, I went to install from zip, flashed the updated RUU, cleared cache and dalvik, then flashed ICS 5.0.1 and the 5.0.1 to 5.0.2 update. Everything installed smooth from there.

That's exactly what I did. Can't find anything different between your story and what's I did, up to when I switched to Insert Coin
I also don't think it's related to CPU speed. My phone is the XE model which ran at 1.5 Ghz on stock ROM and only did about 3 random reboots in 3 months; (now it's every couple of hours).

Good luck. Hope it helps. Let us know the outcome. My nandroid backup is corrupted so will need to do full wipe of my SD card and phone I think. Then add in a stock ROM

I'm still getting the reboot on the nand backup (OrangeFR), this sucks big time. Now I'm thinking it may be due to the fw I had to install to use AHRD (PG58IMG) and the new radio. This is where I'm lost. How can I return everything to standard ? If I understand well the ROM doesn't contain those files, they are separate ?
Was thinking that my random reboots were radio or firmware related.
Strange thing is mine have stopped, and all I did was reinstall revolution ICS 5.0.1 then upgrade to 5.0.2. Didn't even wipe first. So even my apps & settings all of which I had installed & configured since I had installed Insert Coin ICS, are all still there. Haven't had a reboot since.

I switched back to ARHD 3.6.9, did a factory reset+wipe, flashed radio 10.59 and all is fine, I'm somehow reluctant to try again...
I found a solution that worked for me... At last...
I am REALLY sorry that i didn´t answer here before, but i have been really bussy, and actually forgot all about it a few days....
NOW, i also thought that i had some CPU spped issue with the roms, becource i can actually get the same kind of reboot problems on my DHD when i run it over 1500 Mhz...
So i thought that i would lock my sensation to max 900 mhz, and then see what happens... NO change... Still random reboot... Strange...
I then installed a Android 2.3 rom, just to get my phone running again... STILL random reboots...
hmmm....
Now i was confused...
At last i tried to flash a different radio one more time...
I found a radio in some other sensation thread... Flashed it and now my phone works stable...
At least with Virtuos Inquisition 1.3.0... (Proberbly the 1.4.0 will also work, but i have not tried it yet...)
The Radio i had the problems with is the one from mike´s thread...
I actually don´t know why, as i have allways had great success with his roms and his releases on my DHD...
The Radio i use now is 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035-02_2...
But sorry, i can´t remember from what thread...
Ok, this is what i have discovered on this reboot issue...
I hope it make some sense, and that this perhaps can help other with the same problems...
Try turning your phone to recovery.Backup if you havent already....Wipe Data/Factory reset then turn the phone off....
Remove the back cover and the SDCARD.Turn the phone back on and see if it runs ok without the SDCARD, if it does reformat the sd using 4ext recovery and it will also align it.
I spoke too soon.
My phone didn't reboot for a day after I switched back to Revolution ICS 5.0.2 for about a day, then today it began doing random reboots every few minutes. I had not changed any software, just the area (which might have changed signal and frequency the cell tower uses). So I figured it was time to change firmware and radio.
I had previously (prior to installing custom ICS ROM) flashed the radio to 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 as recommended by Mike1986 in the Revolution HD ICS thread, and had HBoot 1.7.1111 on my device.
I then downloaded the firmware he posted on his thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
This has put the phone back to HBOOT 1.20.0000 and radio 11.15.3504.16_M
Now it's working well and no reboots yet.
Here's hoping.. time will tell.
No matter what radio or Rom combo I get random ass reboots
Super annoying. I did notice the battery goes from 100% to 10% during this reboot
I have calibrated battey. Wiped stats. I'm lost.
I have even tried a new battery. Wtf. Any ideas?
i cant even flash stock ruu I get a 171 error!!!!
Im gonna throw this phone at the f-ing wall in a min
if you flashed newest radio 11...x.x..., you have to have newest hboot also (1.20.. , i guess). otherwise, you will get random reboot. I had this issue before, and i just flashed order radio( i don't want to update hboot version). problem is solved

That's certainly consistent with my experience.
Since the changes I made as per my previous post, I've not had a single random reboot

Hey guys,
I´m new at this forum and I have a question
First I will show you some informations about my Phone:
-My Phone is S-OFF and rooted
-HBOOT 1.27.1100
-Radio 10.14.9035
-current Rom: CM9 alpha Rom
I used some different roms (first some Andorid 2.3.5 rom and later ICS Roms), but my Phone sometimes suddenly shutdown. Sometimes after a few hours, or sometimes after a few days.
It is still the same if I use the original Rom from HTC (with Android 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0).
I don´t know where the problem is ( maybe a hardware error? ), but I hope somebody can help .
I often resseted my phone, but it doesn´t take any effect. I hope there is any log on the phone which I can send you, but i don´t know where it could be
greets
Tobi
Do you use the original battery?
I got the same problems when I use an Anker battery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515181
I still use the original battery...
Have you made sure the firmware is correct for each rom you experience problems with?
I assume you have updated it from original since boot = 1.27
Latest builds need 3.30
Most ics need 3.24/3.25
Some ics (now only older builds i think) and all gb run on 3.12
Check here for info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
I think i flashed 3.30 on my Phone for the newest ICS, but the problem is, that the problem was still there when I used the original rom unrooted with the original bootloader...
Yes I think 3.30 = 1.27, I've not got round to flashing yet.
Maybe its overheating = rebooting?
It might be worth restoring to stock then sending for repair since issue was present in factory state.

Problem with that is that there is a chance the phone will work properly when they're going to test it... they will send it back unrepaired...

i don´t hope so...
It is true my phone is sometime hot, so I think it is overheating, but often it is still cold and suddenly shutdown. I think I flash it now to stock and write with amazon. Maybe I would have a bit more luck there.
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.

OK, so my brother has an HTC Sensation with T-Mobile. He asked me ot root his phone yesterday, which I did. I tried only 2 different firmwares, the first gave me an error and bootloops, so the second firmware I got was the 3.33 UNIVERSAL firmware. I then flashed venom SENSE4 rom. Then I thought everything was OK. The phone was responsive, fast, working well. I gave him the phone back.
A couple days later I asked how the phone was doing and he said he gets restarts often. So I assumed it was the rom and so I flashed an ICS rom...HyperNonSense 3.1, it was just regular ICS (non-sense) and now I am not getting a data signal (wifi works) and the phone does random restarts.
Is this likely related to the 3.33 universal firmware or is it more likely due to an improper root? The root features seem to work as they should. Superuser works, recovery works, I have 4ext recovery. I found a thread on xda that had the 3.32.401 firmware, which I thought I needed, unfortunately, the download did not work. Now I am out of options and hoping somebody here could point me in the right direction. Do I need new firmware? If so, could you please direct me to the one I need?
I own a G2 and I have never ran into a problem such as this. lol.
There are many firmwares, which is the one I use?
3.32 tmous release?
3.32 non-tmous universal?
3.32 unlocked?
and there's another 3.32 unlocked

flash the firmware again
use the 3.32 tmous release one (if his carrier is T-mobile ) otherwise flash 3.33 universal one
and do a random reboot check
if its still happening
then
flash the ROM again (use ViperS)
but do a complete wipe before flashing (i.e 4EXT -> wipe|format-> frmat all partitions except sdcrad ...and then do a factory reset)
then flash the ROM
if Random reboots still persisting
then doing RUU is best option
for RUU related queries check the below guide

Hi Guys
Seems like this would be one of those things that's been answered before but couldn't find anything
I'm trying to flash AOSP ROM's from Viper, I have tried several ROM's
I haven't got any problems with flashing but when I get into the ROM I have no touch screen, it's completely unresponsive. Volume rocker works so I know the phone is responding, just wont take any inputs from the touchscreen
The screen is fine, it works in Aroma and I went back to Viper and that was fine too.
I have upgraded firmware and HBOOT
I also tried manually flashing the boot.img from the AOSP ROM's but no luck
I'm sure it's something small I'm missing, anyone know what it is?
HBoot 1.27.1100
Firmware 3.32
Radio 11.22.3504.07_M
S-OFF
Bump
Can anyone help me?

Which ROMs did you try? Also, did you try upgrading the firmware to 3.33?
Can you try CM10 and see what happens? From a quick google search, I found a case where the problem was driver related, and flashing newer drivers for the touchscreen worked. Also, does the problem happen n ICS sense ROMs?
