OK, i wrote s-on wrong while on hboot 1.23 and it locked so i used htc dev and now i can use GB roms with ease but i really want to go back to ics. My hboot is 1.23 so i should be able to use 3.12 firmware roms??? I flashed the boot.img file of each of the ics roms i tried and they all go stuck on bootloop and know i don't know why, all of the roms i tried are on firmware 3.12, darkforest, oceicsv111,virtuous inquisition 2.0.0 and arhd 6.0.3. Does anybody know a solution?
are you supercided? have you flashed the right fw?

I am stuck in the same situation as you, S-on, hboot 1.23, firmware 3.12, unlocked with htc dev and supercided. I'd tried some ICS roms without luck. Tried, too, a bunch of methods to revert back to an hboot that could be used with Revolutionary, but nothing worked.
So I'm using a gingerbread rom (Elegancia) while I wait for another method to try, or for Revolutionary to be updated to hboot 1.23.
Lately I have some problems with installing the latest firmwares for the Sensation. Both 3.24 as 3.30 firmwares cause a bootloop, but the 3.12 firmware is just working fine.
My flashing procedure:
1. Super wipe
2. Install Firmware
3. Super wipe
4. Install ROM
5. Wipe dalvik + cache
6. Fix Permissions
This all causes a bootloop. Also tried to install the ROM first and then the firmware. (without super wipe in between of course)
Things I've tried
- My cid was HTC__E11 and changed it to 11111111 (and back again now)
- Tried booting without sd-card and without sim-card
- Making a PG58IMG.zip with an old HBOOT
-Tried both Mike1986.'s firmware as the noob friendly from Kohr-Ah
More people having these probs and do any of you have new ideas?
The only thing that can in my mind, was to stick with the 3.12 roms untill the official release comes form HTC. Unroot etc to get the official update and check if my phone will work. If not, send it to HTC Repair centre.
Which ROM are you trying to install? You try updating firmware to latest 3.30 and install latest Insertcoin, works for me.

all you have to do is:
download the 3.30 fw
put the PG58IMG in your sd card root folder
go into hboot screen and flash it (you have to be superCID) reboot+vol down
now delete PG58IMG from your sd card and reboot in recovery
wipe all and flash your rom
enjoy
If you had bootloop eariler with V3.24 firmware , you will still have bootloop with V3.30 firmware as the HBOOT is same in both v3.30 and V3.24 .
Stick to V3.12 till HTC release a newer HBOOT in near future . Till now there is no logical reason why it is happening with a very few users.
I've had the same problem all day with this. I flashed the recommended 3.3.0 f/w this morning and couldn't for the life of my work out why i was getting bootloops.
Luckily I came across this by chance, saved hours of tearing my hair out thanks

I've tried, ARHD, InsertCoin, HyperNonSense, Open Sensation CM9, Virtuos Inquisition. It's not the Rom that's causing the bootloop. It's the firmware that's causing it.. Most roms do work with he 3.12 firmware.
Think I'll stick to musarraf172 his advice and stay on 3.12 till a new hboot comes out. Or maybe if someone else finds a solution for this.
FINALLY a post that I can reply on (forum rules I'm new @ develpers section)
I have the same problem as you I get bootloop with 3.24 and 3.30
3.12 runs fine, my question is, can I install mike's new ROM 6.3.0 XE
with the 3.12 or will I screw up my phone (I really don't know much about this sorry if it's a stupid question )
P.S: the 3.12 fw bootloader says LOCKED on it, doesn't let me to flash radio, so I'm currently stuck with a piece of metal, any help?
thanks

no you can't...you need at least 3.24 fw
where can I get some other firmware (unlocked one) which will work with mike's rom Android Revolution 3.6.13 (and the radio on his post)
on his post it sayd "thanks to HTC for base firmware" where can I get that?
Thanks

You might be wrong here.
@ guy asking question. Just install the rom with 3.12 fw, as mussy said, there are a few people that get bootloops with latest fw but run ok on 3.12. Also, you can always take 3.30 fw, remove hboot.img from it, and just update radio and other partitions but leave hboot intact. That might work.

You can run ARHD 6.3.0 with V3.12 firmware. Some users already confirmed this.
Locked HBOOT does not allow to flash radio, splash via fastboot. But You can easily flash radio, splash etc by PG58IMG.zip method.
bootloop fix?
Hey again,
just figured out why I got the bootloops with the 3.30 and 3.24
The reason is very simple : I tried to flash them without flashing to the new ROM
The old ROM I had just happened to work with the 3.12 but with the 3.24/3.30 it went to the bootloops.
Here's the guide that helped me with this issue (now I have the 3.30 and the 6.3.0XE ARHD ROM) :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
Thanks to erraggy for giving me this link to the great guide
P.S : If you have some cooked UOT file you made with SystemUI.apk & framework-res.apk , DO NOT flash them after flashing the ROM , your phone will be stuck @ the first boot for hours. I know it sounds stupid, but hey, I'm new at this and if it helps others do be it
btw, great ROM

I tried doing this and still cant upgrade to 3.24 or 3.30 fw. I did super wipe, flashed fw 3.30 and then flashed ROM but still get boot loops. I think some phones cant upgrade?
I have T-mobile US and i did try the user friendly fw 3.30 also.

Did V3.24 work on your phone ? If not , then V3.30 will also not work. You can flash v3.12 and install ARHD 6.3.0 . They will work together. If you still want to flash V3.30 , then replace the HBOOT 1.27.1100 in V3.30 with the HBOOT in V3.12.

Fw 3.24 didn't work for me either. I am currently using the 3.30 file with the hboot from 3.12 on Elegancia Rom. Its just strange that there are a few phones that can't boot with the 1.27 bootloader.

I have just installed the official update from the xda topic here.
Currently Im on Hboot 1.27 and the stock rom is booting up without any problems!
No more bootloopts with Hboot 1.27 !
I'm gonna root my phone again and put back my image on OpenSensation/ CM9.
Hopefully it's finally solved ! I'll keep you guys updated

Thats great. The official untouched HBOOT 1.27 solved the issue.
Just curious . Does it show "locked" in bootloader screen ??
If so that menas the fastboot extended commands are disabled.
Just check it.
Ok, I'm done now. After installing the stock rom I just installed superuser and recovery again. Afterwards I restored my Nandroid backup and it's up and running.
Bootloader shows me:

sounds good.
Can you test the following command to flash a new splash .
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
You can download some beautiful splash from here. Open the flashable zip and find the splash1.img inside the etc folder.
This is my second flash and its all gone wrong! I'm posting here because I can't post in the ARHD thread...
I was running ARHD 6.2.1 with no problems- its all gone bad when I tried to upgrade to 6.3.0
I downloaded the firmware package for 3.30 and checked MD5, downloaded ARHD 6.3.0 and checked MD5 and downloaded Superwipe.
I put all these files on a fresh SDcard and flashed the PG58IMG successfully, I then removed the card and deleted the firmware file.
I flashed the Superwipe and then the ARHD 6.3.0 and now I'm stuck in a boot loop. It gets as far as quietly Brilliant and reboots every time!
I try to restore my backup of ARHD 6.2.1 and although it checksums OK in 4EXT it gives an error when restoring data and does not restore...
Whats happened? HELP!!

Frmware 3.24 and 3.30 isn't working on my phone either. I installed firmware 3.12 again and flash a rom, then I was able to boot the phone.
I'm able to boot arhd, insertcoin, cm9 with thr 3.12 firmware, but HyperNonSense isn't booting here. So you could try firmware 3.12 with your rom
I'm still looking for a solution and as soon as I find, I will post it on xda !
Hi,
I got the same problem, bootlooped 3.24 / 3.30 fw
I installed the 3.12 but the bootloader is locked
it doesn't let me flash radio, I can't do anything with the phone now, can anyone post a link for an unlocked 3.12 firmware or tell me if I'm doing anything wrong?
Thanks
Hi guys,
I wanted to update my HTC Sensation Revolution 6.3.1 with Android 2.4.3 to 6.5.1 with Ice cream sandwich. But after I updated the firmeware and radio, wiped the phone and installed the ROM my sensation freezes when the Beats Audio screen shows.
the bootloader shows this:

I also changed the cid to 11111111. I always checked the MD5 checksum.
I found several threads about this problem on the internet but anything that helps other people doesn't work with my phone.
Please help me!
thanks in advance!
Did you super wipe your phone before you installed the new rom? And did you do a backup?
yes I always super wipe it. I did a backup via Titanium backup but not in the recovery.
I also tested the not-xe version and the screen freezes too.
So you can't go into your phone only in recovery and bootloader and you didn't back it up with rom manager?
yes, thats exactly where I stand.
Any ideas what to do?

Have you deleted the firmware pmg58img file from the SD card?
What version firmware did you flash?

Yes I deleted the PG58IMG.zip file after flashing it.
I've downloaded 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
I came across this thread and it says:
Perhaps you can try this and see if it works for you?
******* Note: Very few users reported that even after flashing v3.24 firmware , they got bootloop. But when they flashed v3.12 firmware, they were fine. So if you fall into the category of those very few users , then try to flash v3.12 firmware. Some users pointed out that the HBOOT 1.27 was the actual reason to cause the bootloop. So another solution is to replace the HBOOT 1.27 with the older HBOOT from V3.12 firmware package. Recently released firmware V3.32 and V3.30 have the same hboot as in V3.24. So who ever got bootloop with V3.24 , they will be still in bootloop with V3.30 and V3.32. The advice is same . Just stick to V3.12 firmware or replace the HBOOT of V3.30/V3.32 with the HBOOT found in V3.12 till HTC release a newer HBOOT resolving this issue. Few users got ARHD 6.3.X working with V3.12 firmware too. So you can also have a try.Remember v3.12 firmware is compatible for both Gingerbread and IceCream Sandwich. But the GB ROM must be sense 3.5 based else again you will get bootloop. *******
V3.12 Firmware can also be downloaded from the same thread.

I rooted my phone, i got my first rom... it worked well... then I decided to update the firmware and hboot to 1.27.1100 in order to get the ICS... i didn't do the CID or anything... when i flashed the rom... (Android Revolutionary 6.6.4)... when it was done, it would stay on this Android logo... it would just stay there for hours. So I decided to go back to the old (Android Revolutionary HD android 2.3.4)... but it would just keep on getting in a bootloop... please how do I fix this? i tried doing a wipe... still doesn't work... I read somewhere that in order to do this i have to downgrade back to 1.17 hboot... how do I downgrade? If i could avoid downgrading and get ICS to work what else should I do? please help me!
you cannot go back to GB from a 1.27 hboot, if your s-off you can just downgrade your hboot to 1.23 or below. I think you also have to downgrade your firmware...tht stuff is all posted here somewhere
fyi: hboot 1.23 supports GB roms and ICS roms
What firmware did you install?
Try This
Boot into recovery
Superwipe
Flash firmware for ARHD 6.6.4 (I believe it includes the proper hboot)
Flash ARDH again
I had a similar problem. After flashing ARHD, for some reason I was no longer Revolutionary s-off, so I tried flashing an engineering bootloader, which worked, but I ended up with a bootloop (the logo you're talking about that doesn't go away). I followed the steps above and was fine. Hope that helps.
