[Q] New sensation owner neeeds help

Alright guys just got my sensation yesterday and already messed it up. I s-off and rooted, then I flashed virtuous ICS then I flashed the proper kernel for tmobile. I am now stuck on the white HTC screen. I can access hboot and cwm recovery but phone will not boot rom. I flahsed proper tmobile patch and still no go. I waited about 15mins after every flash. Am I screwed? What should I do?

This has always worked for me, no matter which ICS ROM:
1) Flash proper 3.32 firmware from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 T-Mobile is in there.
2) Superwipe
3) Wipe cache + dalvik
4) Flash ROM
5) Reboot

Do I need a tmobile ruu and if so the link on these forums wont download. it says free downloads for this link are being used.
Even so, can I use an RUU even if my phone stays stuck on the splash screen?
And about the backup, will restoring a backup fix the kernel issue as well?

Go into recovery and wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache. If it not helps: wipe everything (included system etc) and reflash the rom

help, i faced the same problem,.. i already tried flashing the boot.img using fastboot, still not solve,..

So your boot loader is unlocked with security on... Are you coming from android 2.3? Did you super cid? With security on you cannot flash custom rom...

Same problem
I have the exact same problem but with Cyanogenmod 10. Did you solve this?

Sounds like you didn't flash the boot.img. first prior to flashing cm10. The boot.img. is different for aosp than sense based roms

[Q] [q] help me please, phone stuck

Hello Everyone
First of all i would like to thank all of the community members for their continious help and support. I am having the following problem with my phone [HTC SENSATION - HBOT -1.27.1100, RADIO -11.24A..., please have a look and let me have your suggestions as how to rectify it to get my phone back to me ---
- Viper rom 1.35 was installed for quite a long time, it was working fine.
-i wanted to try a new rom so as usual i made nanodrop and tried to flash a new rom x,y,z////.
-everything seemed fine, i didn’t liked the rom after flashing so i went back to 4ext backup and opted to restore....a usual process....
-after restore, what i did is, after restore is completed i went to wipe cache/delvik cache and cleared it. and then i pressed reboot........
---not everything screwed after that....,my phone is stuck at the boot screen......
tried again and again....., i then flashed viper1.35 fresh> reboot> same problem> screen stuck on boot
- i though maybe this is due to error in the firmware so in flashed the latest PGM.... firmware 3.33 i guess> then full wipe> flashed new rom----same result
- i tried 5 other rom types which use to work fine and smooth before that....but everything is stuck on boot screen.....
I couldn’t figure it out whats the problem...>>>>??????/
any guesses and solutions

Bootloader hangs / OS hands

Hi guys,
I was flashing sense 5 3.6+ota updates on my Rogers Evita, i had 3.5 before and it all went well surprisingly.
now i flash TWRP for evita 2.6 as recommended, i was able to get in, clean cache, flash ROM, flash the new boot.img as suggested, and got stuck on a bootloop.
Tried going back in TWRP, and now i see the Teamwin screen, then to htc screen than hangs.
I tried version 2.5 and 2.6 of TWRP get same results, same with clockwork. So My guess is that my problem doesnt come from the recovery file, but elsewhere ..
Current phone status:
S-On
Hboot 2.14
Radio 0.23a
Thanks!

Fastboot erase cache. That will probably get you into twrp

That worked for the bootloader, so far so good.
I'm back to bootlooping, probably need a different boot image. Flushed the whole SD started from scratch, and still bootlooping hehe

Rom includes boot image. Reflash the rom. Then fastboot flash the boot.img from the rom. You just installed, wipe cache, and dalvik. A factory reset after woukdnt hurt either

Yeah i always flash the rom included in the zip file, thats why i'm surprised about bootlooping.

This may sound silly, but you're flashing 3.6 on top of r3 right?

Yes i am
I tried Cyanogen, just for fun of trying another room, i get the same boot freeze as with Sense 5

I don't know why it's looping, it shouldn't be if you're following the correct procedure. Are you doing a full wipe, then flashing the ROM, and then flashing the boot.img from that ROM in fastboot?

What does it say in the bootloader screen? Just the top part don't post your imei.

Yeah, it doesnt bootloop anymore, it hangs now.
And i am closely following steps for rom installation, i wipe the whole shazam, cache and dalvik and such, it always worked well, until now.

So you're wiping system/factory reset/cache/dalvik cache? Then flashing ROM, then rebooting to bootloader and flashing boot.img?

Yeah, i am always flashing the boot included in roms, but somehow my bootloader always show 2.14 after flashing ... that might be why i cant get it to work

Your bootloader will always show 2.14 unless you get a firmware update. Flashing ROMs does not change your hboot.

Well anyone knows what's the solution? flashing the embedded boot.img did not help.

It's really difficult to diagnose the problem without actually being there. Can you please provide a detailed step-by-step account of what you're doing when you flash the ROM and boot.img.

What version of twrp you using?
Edit: I see 2.6
What version of cm did you try? See if you can get Scott's clean rom booted. That one has flashed and booted for a couple other people having issues. And make sure you verify md5 before you flash it
