Hello everybody,
This is my first post in this amazing forum...Wow ..........
First of all, REALLY BIG THANKS TO MIKE1986 for giving us an incredible rom and for being always present when someone needs help...REALLY, REALLY THANKS MIKE.
Here's the problem. I've followed the guide of joaquinf (MANY THANKS TO YOU TOO) and i perfectly installed ARHD 6.5.1 XE. Everything worked great, no problems, no restart, everything perfect. Today i decided to install ARHD 6.5.2 XE (1.50GHz Kernel, no sony bravia engine support, no SuperCharger tweaks). Everything seems to work great, except one thing: Copilot Live Europe 9.1.0.161. Everytime i install it, when i launch the program it starts for few seconds, then closes and return back to home. I don't know why. I've already tried to reinstall it, to format the sd, to reflash everything (with superwipe included), but nothing..It was working perfecly under ARHD 6.5.1, but now doesn't start anymore!
Can someone suggest me a solution?
Ok, found the answer by myself....
...There was a problem with the restore of the application through Titanium Backup ......
Sorry

Hello,
I have obtained S-OFF and root for my sensation. My first attempt at installing a new rom was successful, and I used Android Revolution 3.6.1. Success, and I was happy. Now I decided to change to 4.1.2 and it hangs on the boot screen after installing the rom.
Can someone please tell me why 3.6.1 works, and 4.1.2 doesn't? The procedure should be the same, correct?
Thanks in advance!
Did you use the Super Wipe zip?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Yes, I used super wipe before installing each rom.
it might be your radio if you haven't updated it yet. thats the only other thing that could be missing. many people including myself have had successful flashes with 4.1.2 so thats not the problem. try updating your radio and super wipeing again.
Thanks for the suggestion. I updated my radio, but 4.1.2 still hangs on startup.
Did you forget something? Check Mike's tips and follow it. I flashed 4.1.2 four times today, it's ok.
Try another ClockworkMod Recovery. 4.0.1.4 from AlphaRev or 5.0.1.0 from ROM Manager is recommand in Mike's post. Mine is 5.0.2.0, just ok.
I followed the same procedure to flash 3.6.1 and when I flashed 4.1.2. For some reason, I can get only the first one to work, and not the other. I am certain both roms are working properly, but I was hoping to get some help as to why the one won't work on my phone.
Fixed: Let that be a lesson to you, remember to check your md5 checksum! Rom is now working perfectly.
I had faith in you the whole time been thinking about the possibilities all day
Thanks! Its all part of the learning experience I suppose.
Issues with kernel on 4.1.2, it has been superceded by 4.1.3, which is working fine and available now.
You did nothing wrong.

having problem flashing deamonspeed
after i have succesfully flashed deamonspeed, my sensation bootloops at the htc screen..im using the cyanogenmod7 rom....could that be why its not working?
Hey guys, I been away from the sensation for a few months now and I think I bricked it on my first flash back! I was flashing ARHD & I followed the noob guide, I downloaded firmware & updated, deleted the firmware file, performed super wipe, flashed the rom, and I checked my md5 sums. Now I'm bootlooping the white HTC splash screen, and sometimes I see the beats audio symbol but right back to the slash screen! Ahhh.... I use this line for work. I used the 3.30 firmware as it said to & I'm on boot 1.27? I know one of you guys can help, so please ANYONE,I've got a get this fixed tonight.....
well if its booting then fortunately you're not bricked lol
have you tried re flashing the new firmware?
I flashed the 3.30 that the installation guide I was following told me to. I have ext 2.2, so is that an issue or is it the correct recovery.
Anyone who can walk me through this I'd really appreciate it guys. Just like most, I rely on my phone for work. I'm a little worried here, I've flashed quite a few times and I've never had an issue like this that I couldn't restore out of.....
Try this??
what I did was everything you did.. except I used this firmware update...
Firmware from 3.30.401.1 & 3.30.401.101 RUU
--- MD5 checksum: 824295C6ACDC8D55BED9E0B913192DBE *PG58IMG.zip ---
--- Only for 3.30.401.1 & 3.30.401.101 based ROMs
Then I installed the ICS Energy rom, and everything works great.. I've also flashed a few other roms without issues.. I haven't tried the arhd yet.. I'm currently running the virtuous AOSP rom.. and still, everything works great.. I hope this helps
Just a side note.. have you tried formatting the sdcard then trying that setup? I did have issues with my sdcard in the beginning, but after formatting, I've had no issues..Also make sure the ROM you're using is made for the correct firmware, otherwise you'll have bootloops! hope this helped!
That's the same firmware I used, and I've ran the firmware upgrade twice now. Now right after I updated the firmware the first time I did it, I rebooted on accident & it wouldn't boot even before I flashed arhd.... is this normal?
It wouldn't boot into hboot? What I did was put all the needed files on my sdcard, flashed the firmware, removed the sdcard(while the phone is powered on).. booted into the rom, then put the scdard back in and removed the firmware update..then rebooted the phone, then wiped and loaded an ICS rom..that was really about all I did.. and so far all works well.. I'm really at a loss as to what the problem on your end is.. it sounds like you've done everything you're suppose to do..
You could try to run the relevant ruu (assume you have s-off?) and start again?

Update::II flashed Virtuous and had no issues and everything is running perfect. Looks just like my transformer prime now. I doing know why at this point that my system would not play nice with ARHD, I followed the guide to the letter and I flashed the firmware 3.30 several timed just as directed. None the less, I am satisfied with this from, and my device is much smoother and more productive than the ****ty GS2 by T-Mobile that I had been using the last few months! I just can't retire my Sensation. Thank you to all who chimed in, you're a great community!
Bricked
That happened to me too when I tried to install ICS without updating the firmware
first.
I just re-booted to recovery and did a restore. I'm assuming you backed up your
ROM right?
Then at least your phone will go back to normal and you can start over...and use it for work haha
I'm good now on virtuous, but I just couldn't get ARHD to work for me. Yes I had upgraded to the proper firmware first, and I always compare md5 sums. I'm by no means an expert, but I always research, read and ask all the nessecary questions before I flash anything I'm not familiar with. I think there may just be rare occasions when some of the devices just won't play nice with certain software. Virtuous took on the first flash & I'm actually very pleased with it, so all's well that ends well. ICS is just so much more intuitive & functional for me
.
Just want to say thanks to mike who made the ARHD rom it works nicely on my first HTC handset.
also i have a few queries maybe someone can help me with.
I installed the ARHD version 2.0.0 straight up.
-i notice some occasions of Flickering screen
read in the main thread and some ppl are reporting same experience, so hopefully this is not just my phone.
-after installation, the first step of initial setup wizard, only have like 5 choices of telcom to choose from? is this normal? i m in Australia and with Vodafone and obviously not in the list so i choose some random telco. is this ok? what does these choices matter to the setup???
Thanks!
Try the latest (v3.1) version of the ROM. It supposed to run very smoothly.
thanks mate.
I just update to the latest ARHD to date, 3.1.0.
Its been so good so far!

So can anyone help this grey area of flashin "boot.img"
Hi guys,
First of all my apologies for posting this here, and not in the ViperS development topic. I have been reading a lot on the forums for over a year now, but only registered today, and therefore I am not able to post in that thread (10 post minimum rule). I have tried searching the topic and similar topics, but I have not found anything.
The issue is the following: when flashing the newest version (1.5.2) of ViperS, my digitizer does not work anymore. The LCD itself and hardware buttons work fine.
Some additional info:
* Device info:
- HTC Sensation XE
- coming from ViperS 1.3.5
- XxXPachaXxX 3.0.16 kernel (currently know as the PYD kernel)
- S-OFF
- HBOOT 1.27.1100
- 4ext v1.0.0.5 RC8
* what i've tried already:
- Flashing again, both with and without wiping dalvik/cache/factory reset
- Flashing another sense ROM, works fine
- 4ext touch recovery works fine
- MD5 check, correct every time
* I do get "Status 0/Installation aborted" errors every time I install a ROM (actually when aroma wants to reboot). This does not have an effect on the other ROMs i've flashed.
* It's worth noting that the digitizer has been replaced 2 weeks ago, but works perfectly on any other rom.
Thanks in advance guys!
Did you try 'factory reset' prior to the flash?
Edit: also recheck MD5 checksum of the downloaded rom.. weird sh*t happens when the download is corrupted.

So Viper 1.3 works but 1.5 doesn't?
That is weird.
Try to download a fresh copy of the Viper ROM and start over. Even if you have matching MD5 sums on the copy you have, just delete it and start over. A fresh download can be a miricle cure sometimes.
Also, instead of flashing over your existing 1.3 version, try a full wipe and fresh install. See if that makes a difference.
If that doesn't work maybe it's some kind of strange kernel compatibility issue with the new digitizer. Maybe something from the kernel you are installing with Viper 1.5 isn't up to date for the latest replacement digitizer parts? (I'm admittedly reaching on this one...) I don't know if you are using the stock kernel that comes with Viper or immediately flashing a new kernel prior to boot.
Just as an experiment, try flashing another kernel that's compatible with Viper and see if it fixes your problem. If you're flashing a customer kernel right after installing the ROM, skip that part next time. If you're using the stock kernel, try a different one. Any different one.
If that doesn't help, post back here and at least we'll have ruled one thing out. And since that's easy enough to try it should be simple to test.
@Raven2k: my initial posts states that I have already tried both your suggestions, so no luck on that. Thanks for helping though.

I have downloaded the ROM three times now, always with a correct MD5 sum (checked with 4ext). Also, my steps when flashing a new ROM are always the same:
1. backup
2. full wipe + wipe dalvik/cache (unless upgrading is specifically mentioned as an option).
3. install with full wipe (unless upgrading is specifically mentioned as an option)
Trying a different kernel is indeed a good idea, I'll try that tomorrow (it's 1:30am here). As far as I know, ViperS uses the bricked kernel, and the ROM i tried (elegancia) uses the stock one. I'll try several tomorrow, and give you an update .
I meant redownload and check MD5 again, sorry. Md5 errors are not probable, but they still do occur. Also, I would suggest reflashing 4ext recovery. It seems very weird to have errors for every rom being flashed.
Also, one more thing you can do is try booting vipers without your sdcard. The one thing not being formatted and cleared is the sdcard content which contains some app data etc.

My wife had viperS 1.4.1 on her sensation XE and a several days ago her screen stopped responding.
It was fine in recovery but when the ROM was booted up it just didn't work, so it was stuck at the lockscreen. I fully wiped everything and flashed the latest version of viperS and it still remained the same. Tried booting with the SIM card and SD card removed - still the same.
I fully wiped again and flashed a different ROM (Elegancia 3.7.0 - which I have had on my XE since it was released and I know to work well) and the screen worked fine, but she did have a few random reboots.
I then fully formatted her SD card using Gparted 2 days ago and (fingers crossed) it has been fine ever since.
I have no idea what the problem was, but I feel it was caused by the viperS ROM and that it affected the SD card too.
I'm not criticizing ViperS as I've used it before and know it's a great ROM, but I cannot be 100% sure that using it does not carry the risk of problems such as this.
Ok guys, sorry for my late reply. Due to the holidays and a trip to germany last week i did not have much time to do the flashing. Flashing an new kernel helped, I am now on ViperS 1.6 (which did not work out of the box, but after installing the bricked kernel it works .
Thanks to all for the help!
Hi, looking after about my problem but can't find a proper answer for it.
I got Sensation, unlocked bootloader, s-off, 1.29.000 hboot and installed 3.33 firmware.
My problem is, that installed many custom sense 4.1 ROMs in the past few days. In every ROM I miss almost every HTC related
widgets, programs. Cleared the sense cache as many threads mentioned, restarted the phone many times, installed without wiping the ROM again but the same result. I was able to install properly a sense 3.6 ROM without missing component.
If anyone knows whats the trick I would be very happy and thankfull. Cheers
Did you use the ROM cleaner?
If you didn't. What 4.1 ROM are you using?
You SHOULD be and is RECOMMENDED to wipe device when flashing rom, using the 1 button wipe on 1ext rec.
Then install ROM. (I'll use ViperS for reference now)
Once booted into ROM.
Get into widget selection page, the part saying "all widget", press it and switch to HTC related widget, it should be there.
Thank you for your fast reply. I tried to follow what you said.
Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik, format all partitions except sd
Then installed DarkSense ROM 1.2.3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1999915
Ran the ROM cleaner to have sense on the phone.
What I get is almost no widgets, in applications no sms, mail, clock, weather. In the installer only checked HTC releated apps and widgets.
Very strange, didn't saw things like this. Did I miss something? I had many HTC phones, now I got the Sensation and now have trouble.
Thanks in advance
I finally find one good sense 4.1 ROM, the Elegancia http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429953.
Also tried Viper as you mentioned, and CommuniSation, neither was working.
Didn't get jet whats the difference in these ROMs, why one is working properly and other 3 not. Also reflashed the firmware, but didn't helped for Viper/Dark/CommuniSation ROMs.
If anyone knows what other ROMs need that Elegancia not please share with me. Maybe the problem is with my device and had to be replaced.
Thanks

buddy, you should clear htc sense's "DATA" not cache! it certainly works, as mine did
------------------------------------------------
that pretty "thanks" button's waiting for u if I helped
Sent from a shaken up HTC Sensation XE using...whatever! differs?!
Hey, thanks for reply, but tried that too. In apps found htc sense and cleared data, restarted but all the same. Strange thing is that with Elegancia ROM works well.
