[Q] Why isnt this .zip showing up!?!?! >.<

ALright guys, Ive looked everywhere for an answer for this and after hours of working on installing vritious inqusition, I cant get the roms .zip to show up on my sd card to install it in the recovery. Ive did everything up to this point (root, update firmware, ect) now for some reason I just cant get that .zip file to show up. Can anyone please tell me what im doing wrong or maybe a soulition!? I like hitting that thanks button!!

Did you download it directly to your phone or pc? How are you looking for it? If you downloaded directly to your phone, browse your downloads using a file explorer, I use Root Explorer, once you locate the .zip copy and paste it to your ad card.

Might be an sd card error, something to do with the larger file, the rom won't show up in recovery? Are you selecting install rom from sd in recovery? Are you in recovery?
Cwm or 4ext?

I finally got it!! Thankyou all for your info and ideas! I ended up deleting some stuff off my sd card, which it wasnt full but that did the trick!

.zip
make sure you are copying the .zip straight to your phone, unpacked. It should show up in clockwork mod.

Now as its booting up, it keeps switching from the V to white HTC screen, is this normal or is it in a bootloop!? Cause I read somewhere initial boot time will be 6-10 mins but its looking scary : /

Now I think its stuck in a boot loop cause it just keeps going from the white HTC screen, to the V logo, then retests and has been doing that over and over :"(

Did you perform a nandroid backup before flashing? Flash your backup. Check the md5 and try again.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G XE with Beats Audio using xda premium

Yeah I did a back up before. And I feel like I should know this but whats the md5?

The md5 checksum basically is a string of numbers and letters, it's like a fingerprint, if the download gets corrupt then the number won't match. Look in the OP where you downloaded the ROM it should have the md5 listed. There's an app in the market you can use to check if it's correct.

[Q] Someone can upload a Nandroid Backup for me, please?

Hi, my phone is sort of in a coma right and I think that only a Nandroid Restore can save it right now.

I'd be surprised if anyone will upload a backup for you. Nandroid takes a complete image of the device and as such is likely to contain all sorts of personal data.
I read your thread hand will try to help. Am i right to think that so far you have:
s-off?
SuperCID?
3.30 firmware?
Non-booting from but access to bootloader and fastboot?
Can you also reach recovery, and what is your hboot version as of now?

It sounds like you've either got the incorrect firmware, or ROM, or it could be just incorrect check sums.
To save on re-writing everything that's been done thousands of times before, I'm going to provide this link to Android Revolution HD.
It describes how to do everything step by step. If you want to start from a clean base, just boot in to recovery, and wipe everything, switch it to USB mode, load your files on, and start flashing from scratch.
Remember, to make a nandroid every time you flash something new if you're unsure about anything. It's time consuming, but saves you a lot of time in the long run. I found out the hard way.
If you have any more problems, feel free to PM me, and I'll reply usually pretty quickly.

Agreed. SuperCID and s-off means you can run any ruu. If it doesn't run, something is stopping it:
Try the stock European ruu. Remove other software from PC that might sync with phone (HTC sync, double twist etc.) Check AV/firewall is not blocking ruu. Run ruu as administrator on your machine.
Sent from my HTC Pyramid using xda premium

Ruu is running.
The problem is when it says "Searching for the phone"
It doesn't find it

Try disabling anti virus and firewall uninstall all phone software from pc/lappy but leave HTC drivers and give it another shot sounds like you have something conflicting on there

I don't have any Antivirus / Firewall and HTc Drivers are the only drivers that I installed (new windows set up).

Yes, I did.
It says " Verifying info on your Android Phone, please wait " and then a Window pop up saying that the phone is not plugged in

1. Why 2 threads on the same thing?
2. I assume you have the drivers installed on your PC?
3. Is your phone a TMOUS 4G Sensation?

1/ They're not the same, actually
2/ Yes, I do have the drivers
3/ Yes, TMO 4G Sensation

I assume you're S-OFF with Super CID? If so...

Thanks for your answer, Eddy
GOOD NEWS, I was able to run the Android Revolution HD Rom by downgrading to the 3.12 Firmware. But I still can't run the Virtuous Inquisition Rom (My favorite so far )

I had that same issue. Make sure you're super CID as well. Then the file should update properly and you can continue with the flashing.

Find your correct ruu, download ruu.exe to your pc, put your phone into fastboot mode, from h boot screen press power, you can then connect your phone to pc and run the ruu.exe as administrator. This will take you back to stock, s off, unrooted phone. Your phone will be restored and working. Then go read all of the stickies thoroughly so you understand what you are doing and what you need to do to successfully flash ROMS without the risk of bricking.

Sorry for being a noob, I don't quite get what you are saying.
Right now I'm pretty scared of bricking my phone, i've decided not to upgrade. Can I just insert the micro-sd card into my computer, then delete the firmware file and be done with it and have my phone back to normal????
Please help!!

Hi I'm learning about everything too. I can say I don't regret rooting and flashing custom Rom for a second! It can be intimidating at first, trust me I know but if you stick with it your reward will be great! Before you do anything read about it. What I did was even print out instructions so I didn't miss a step that helped me out a lot when flashing my first Rom. There's a lot to learn but everyone here is so helpful. Ask questions, read. Soon it becomes clearer and easier to understand. Its up to you if you wish not to proceed, but I just wanted to give you a pep talk and let you know you can do this! But never proceed unless you are comfortable with it. I wish you the best and good luck in what ever you decide to do.

The boot loop problem really scared the **** out of me. I guess i was being a little careless and didn't bother to check the CID of my phone, I thought I have Super CID already, but it is showing i have the incorrect CID.
I really want to experience ICS, even tho I am happy with my phone right now. I'm just so afraid of bricking my phone.
I guess I will do more homework on it before I do it.
Can someone answer my question in the previous post?
Thank you in advance

Thanks

Hello all.
I got a HTC Sensation yesterday cheap from my cousin's classmate, because he screwed it up and can't get it working. I have a bit of experience flashing different phones so I thought I might get it working. Unfortunately I haven't found a solution to the problem after hours of searching, hopefully one of the community has the kindness and know-how to help me out!
Basically as soon as I plug it in, the screen in the 1st pic appears:
I've tried several PG58IMG files but all of them result in a screen similar to the 2nd image:
Any ideas on how to fix? Any help is much appreciated.

Seems a partitioning issue.
Did you try to run an RUU? maybe it can help. Not 100% sure though

No, it's an executable file you run on your pc. You can connect to your pc with phone in fastboot mode and run ruu as administrator.

Do you have and tools? If so, do this open command window where your and tools are by holding mouse over the folder, now press alt, space bar, and right click, choose open command window here. Now type the command "fastboot getvar cid" while phone is connected to pc in fastboot mode. What does it say?
You have to have the correct ruu for your cid.
Can you access recovery?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda premium

Thanks again for your assistance.
I've just finished installing the android tools, and ran the command as you specified. My CID is 11111111.
When I select recovery from the fastboot menu, nothing happens, it just blinks for a second and goes back to fastboot.

Okay, good your super cid so any ruu should work, now that you have the adb tools you also have the fastboot drivers. Try running the ruu again. Before running the ruu, remove the battery and sd card and insert the card into a card reader on your pc and look for a file PG58IMG and delete it. Then safely remove the card, put it back into your phone and replace the battery, put phone into fastboot mode, plug it into your pc and try to run the ruu as administrator again.
You're welcome for the help. If this doesn't work we will try a few other things. The phone isn't bricked so we should be able to get it working.

Hi,
Try THIS TOOL

dead scared now
the cell used to flash red light for a few seconds at regular intervals before when charging..but now its even stopped doing that. the red led now just comes on for a few seconds when i put in the battery. nothing happens after that.
What i did before this is that i flashed 4ext recovery though adb. Nothing else
Is there a probability that the battery must have drained out?

Till then can you suggest me any rom that doesnt need s-off and will be a very safe rom to install without any chances of bootloop.
Also i had updated to ics 4.0.3

Till then can you suggest me any rom that doesnt need s-off and will be a very safe rom to install without any chances of bootloop.
Also i had updated to ics 4.0.3
I was wondering if i could find someones backed up stock rom (rooted) which i could just flash and not go through the hassle of tryin to flash a completely new rom with chances of again ending up in a bootloop?

There is a guide called.. "Flashing roms with SON " by asskickar in sensation general section...
Using that you can flash any ics/jb custom roms... Without any bootloops or rather without any issues what so ever... The only requirement is You just need to follow that guide to the letter.. That's all

Hi,
Follow THIS GUIDE to the letter.
But let your phone charge up first.

Yes that might be the case.. If you check the guide I linked initially... Step #2 explains flashing 4EXT.. Even from fastboot... Use that and flash 4EXT recovery
Edit: Btw I initially said to do only extra 1 step from the guide right? Why are you going through entire process again?

ok ok. sorry for all the screw ups.Im letting the cell charge up for now. I should just follow the guide and install the recovery and flash the rom using the extra 1 step right? Just confirming.
Thanks again for replying so promptly, hope you keep helping me. Just let me know that my cell is not bricked.

Hi,
That is correct.
Follow to the letter,and you will not brick.

Bttery is gone
i think my battery has gone flat...but i kept it on charging for more than 3 hours,it hasnt even warmed up a single bit. I cant get the phone to start. Please suggest some methods
Also when i tried connecting the phone to my pc, nothing happened. While the wire was stil connected to the pc, i pressed the power button and the red led flashed reglar at one sec intervals about 10 times and then one long continuous flash and then it went off. Also that was the time when i heard the notification sound in the pc of a device getting detected.
What to do now?

Do you have a replacement battery to use while this one charges? Maybe that will help.
