You can try to flash a rom to start your phone again try that.

Did you flash anything or mod the phone in any way? If all you did was accept an official update leading to this boot loop I would call HTC or your carrier and have them fix it!

OP said they had the phone S-OFF but still running stock ROM - wouldn't the S-OFF be an issue for warranty?
Maybe the OTA update couldn't or didn't properly update the radio/bootloader/recovery segment - that would cause an ICS ROM to fail boot. I think trying to reflash the old stock ROM, or a GB-based custom one, is the first thing to try. Failing that, maybe manually flash the appropriate ICS firmware/radio package for the OTA ROM (see this thread)

Doh. Missed that!
OP, you could try to flash the update manually through bootloader?

IMO you need to flash the 3.32 firmware that will support/run ics (elegancia/darkforest) .

Did these flash OK (even though you are unable to boot them)? Recovery would have notified you of the result.
If so as above post, update firmware with the firmware needed for the last from you successfully flashed. Post if you get stuck.

Im maybe experiencing the same problem. Here's what happened. I was using internet-pass-through with my Sensation XE for me download games and saw in my notifications that there's an available system update which is the android 4.0, etc. I downloaded the file and installed it but right after i got stucked with picture of an android and beside it is a exclamation point in a triangle. I removed the batt and turned on the phone and nothing happened, nothing new. So, I searched in youtube and saw a way of updating ICS in my phone. My phone had S-off but still using Stock rom. I entered the bootloader then CWM then formatted the system, cache, then tried to update to ICS since i got the zip file already in my SDcard. After then, the installation was aborted, it says cannot fine system/build.prop or something. I rebooted my fone and I got stucked up with the HTC logo and white screen. Omg please help me. I'm crying. I just bought the fone. :'(

Not sure if this applies to the Sensation 4G but did you ensure you'd flashed an updated firmware package?

Did you flash the 3.12 firmware update? ICS roms get stuck in the boot screen if you try to flash with a GB firmware. It is recommended to get supercid before flashing an ICS rom. After flashing the ICS firmware your hboot will say LOCKED but you can still flash roms

You have to install the new firmware with hboot 1.23 for ICS to work

Hello,
Recently, I treied to install an ICS ROM on my HTC Sensation. However, after installing the ROM (something I'm not new too) it repeatably crashes and reboots.
I've tried three ROMs, (Extreme Sensation, Virtuous Quattro Alpha 3, and TripNice) and all three have resulted in this boot loop. I've wiped the phone every time, so this is not the issue.
Any ideas on how to help would be great,
Thanks in advance.

Did you update your firmware? If not, go do it... there are many guides available, and it is mandatory. READ THE GUIDES THOROUGHLY BEFORE DOING THIS AS IT CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE.
have fun ^^
You need to flash a new firmware upgrade. This should change your HBOOT. Read the ROM thread, it will show you what firmware to flash

Hey. I just got a message saying there is a new update for my Sensation XE. So i flashed it going from the older version.
New version is: 4.0 OTA Sense 3.6
Old version was: 2.3.4 OTA Sense 3.5
Both are stock.
The problem is that when i boot arfter upgrading, the green HTC logo boot picture apears, and the phone does nothing more, except draining battery. Any advice?
I have S-off'ed the phone and custom recovery rom.

Yes, i was able to restore an old backup.
I have also tried wiping everything. Using the EXT4-recovery rom or something like that.
Are there any more information i can contribute with? I don't know how these roms work and thus not a clue on what information to inform you guys.
Have you got the latest firmware?

Greetings,
I currently have a Sensation 4g on TMOUS. It is unlocked, rooted and S-OFF. I was running Revolution HD 2.3.4 with beats audio on my phone. Works perfectly.
Today I tried to upgrade to Revolution HD 4.0.3 with beats audio but I cannot get past the booting screen. I've super wiped and then installed the custom rom but it wont go past the first boot. I even waited 30 minutes and nothing happens. It just shows the beats logo. I have the same problem with the 4.0.3 without the beats audio. Any ides on how i could make it work? Is there something I am doing wrong?
Thank you,
Radu.
Sounds like its a firmware problem. What firmware is the Rom you want to download require and are you updating that firmware in your Hboot before you install the rom?
Find my post in general will help you out

Great to hear..you will have fun and enjoy the many options you have with sensation developments. Cheers mate
Edit. Don't forget to delete the firmware file off your SDcard once you updated it. If you leave it on there everytime you do recovery it will want to do a update.. just some advice..

I think you should only have problems if you use a newer android version on a older firmware. The firmware has some type of backwards compatibility in them but roms can become buggy if you uses a older firmware.

To update the firmware put the pg58img file on root of sd card,boot into bootloader by removing battery, place battery back in, press volume down sand power at the same time, the device will recognize the update and ask to proceed, volume up for yes. The device will then update and reboot.once fully rebooted REMOVE the pg58img file from the device or it will continue to update ! You now successfully updated the firmware! It will be successfully updated. Hope this helps you.

What radio are you on now. If you have 11.76a you have 3.33, unless you flashed the radio separately in the past.
Are you trying to flash leedroid tweaks or something?
