[Q] Bootloop on Splashscreen / Don't know what to do

Hi guys,
im really desperate here, my sensation xe (hboot 1.23, s-off), won't let me boot any flashed rom.
My firmware is 3.32 and im using 4ext recovery 1.005 RC3.
Even my Nandroid backup of ARHD 6.6.3 won't boot, the phone gets stuck in a bootloop (it does't even show the boot animation, only the splashscreen for a few seconds, then reboots).
i bet someone on here can help me, because i don't know what to do.
thank you in advance
best regards

If your hboot is 1.23 then you DO NOT have 3.32 firmware. Re-flash the firmware and try to reboot...

i reflashed the firmware, formatted all partitions in recovery, and flashed ARHD, but no luck i'm still stuck in a splashscreen bootloop.
the recovery (after flashing arhd) prompted something like "boot update pending, will reboot after update is finished"
maybe there is a problem with the latest rc of the 4ext touch recovery?
thanks again for your help

Are you definitely s-off, or are you simply *unlocked*? Also, did you run the superwipe script?

i don't know
when i turn it off by pulling battery and then turn it on by pressing vol down and power (i think thats fastboot?) the second line from the top says S-Off RL

Ok, that's s-off.
Did you run superwipe?
Did you run an md5 checker on all of your files?
Is it still reading 1.23 on hboot? (should be 1.27.1100)

if by superwipe you mean flash a file that's named superwipe, no i didn't.
i chose format all (except sd) in the 4ext touch wipe menu.
i did run an md5 check on all files.
the hboot version number says 1.27.1100.
i just reflashed recovery from fastboot to see if it helps (altough i flashed the same recovery version, so maybe theres some kind of bug?) but it is still stuck on splashscreen.
aww man i'm really desperate right now, i kind of need this phone because i have no replacement

Go to ARHD thread, download the superwipe script, flash it from recovery, and then flash ARHD again...

did it, flashed arhd afterwards, didn't work.
still stuck on splashscreen.
thank you so much for your help! any other idea?

I'm going to lunch. I'll ponder on it...

okay i got it working and here is what i did:
it seems 4ext recovery was trying to flash a messed up boot image over and over again.
i pulled the boot.img from the arhd zip file and flashed it via fastboot. it now seems to boot (it has gone past the splashscreen and now shows the boot animation).
thanks again for your.
i can not recommend the latest recovery

Cool! Glad you got it sorted out. Which boot.img were you selecting in 4ext, and which one did you pull from the rom.zip? Also, please send a bug report to madmaxx82 so he can look into it...

both faux kernel boot.img, but somehow 4ext was stuck with an "old" boot.img from a previous aosp rom.
the feature "smartflash" was activated and somehow could not be deactivated. that way the recovery, everytime when it was done flashing the rom, flashed an aosp kernel afterwards.
at least that is my guess.
thanks again.

That's the culprit there.
It's not the problem of recovery
The smart flash option is for ppl with SON and unlocked bootloader.. And as you said it retains the previous boot.img
As you are soff you should not enable it
.To disable smartflash go to tools in recovery there you will find the smartflash option
Also the latest recovery is awesome..
You just need to know what should be enabled and what should be not before using it

yeah, i know that now. there is just one thing: the disabling in the recovery did not work for me.
also: when the recovery is upgradet it asked if i am soff. i misclicked once, but didn't think much of it since it CLEARLY says "if you are not sure, choose no (s-on)".
the thing is it automatically activates smartflash.
the main problem for me was that it could not be deactivated from the recovery. the recovery said "deactivating smartflash" and afterwards "smartflash deactivated" but it wasn't :/
thanks anyways (i know the recovery is the **** i love it, too)

[Q] Htc Sensation stuck on Boot Loop, please help!

now I thought i could fix this since im always flashing roms but at this point ill put any rom on just to get it to work and ill leave it alone forever!
this is what i have all done already
-i already factory reset everything and download the super wipe and flashed it then flashed a rom and noting!
-ive tried using roms that are gingerbread instead of ics and nothing!
-ive tried flashing different roms, and nothing!
-
now here is what i think i dont have the 3.32 firmware but to be completely honest and i have gone to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 but i dont know my cid so idk which one to download but i did try 3 and when i try to flash that zip in recovery it says "aborted" and usually when i put it on the root of the card it doesnt read it like ive read it is suppose to ask you if you want to update..
all i know is when i take the battery out its pg5100
i really need help, ive tried everything and i know its fixable i dont wanna give up!
so any help will be great! in advance thank you so much! im loosing sleep trying to fix it this!

I'm assuming you didn't flash the firmware yet right? The easiest way to flash a firmware is to get super cid (11111111). Go hereand follow step 4. Then you can flash this without worrying. The second link is just to the 3.32 firmware.

didn't you super CID? try to super CID...follow fourth step here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
then get the 3.32 firmware. your CID will be 11111111 so anyone will work for you.

Ya seems as though all of the links are down grab a 3.32 firmware from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 Just place the PG58IMG.zip on the root of your sd and press the volume down and power the phone should automatically detect the zip and ask to update. Make sure you have a good amount of battery.

Does your bootloader say fastboot USB?
Look mate, your Hboot ver is 1.27 S OFF Revolutionary which means you have the right firmware installed. If you really want to be helped, tell me what recovery you're using.

Good. You will now be installing 4ext recovery.
After recovery has been installed, reboot to recovery.
Select wipe|format.
Select format all partitions except SD Card.
Then install your ROM.

It's "PG58IMG.zip" not P"S"G58IMG.zip. If the name is incorrect, then it won't work.
You cannot do it from recovery, you must do it only from bootloader.
The reason I'm insisting on 4EXT is because it's much easier to use.
Follow my instructions properly.
And if you find all this difficult, just go to my tool, link in signature.
When it asks you to connect in HTC Sync mode with debugging enabled, just boot to recovery instead.

[Q] Stuck at CyanogenMod boot screen. Help pls!

Hi. I'm new to HTC Sensation XE. Yesterday I just decided to root my Sensation XE phone so I went to htcdev.com to unlock bootloader.
Everythings went well, I managed to install Clockwork Recovery to my phone and able to install Superuser.
Bad things happened when I try to install CyanogenMod 9 through Clockwork Recovery. I put the rom into SD card, boot into Clockwork and then wipe data/factory reset plus wipe chache partition. Then install ZIP from SD card.
After "install complete" i reboot my phone and now I see CyanogenMod logo looping and stuck there.
I still can get into Clockwork and try install other rom but the Cyanogen logo also comes back everytime and stuck there.
I just found out that I have to do S-Off ?? I have no idea what to do next.
My previous phone was Nexus S. I installed many custom roms on that phone without any problem. As far as I know if I can get into Clockwork Recovery, my phone has been rooted, right? So
What is S-Off?
Why I have to flash firmware??
ROM for Sensation compatible with Sensation XE?
I am not familiar with AROMA installer, is this the problem I can't install ROM successfully?
Now my phone in HBOOT says:
***UNLOCKED***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000

First, you should check the guide on how to flash roms s-on or something. It says you have to push the boot.img in adb, i think.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium

get the boot.img from the cm9 rom zip file
copy it to the adb/fastboot folder in your pc
connect the phone in bootloader to PC (phone should read fastboot usb after this )
now open command window in the adb folder and type this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
once it got success
type
fastboot reboot
your phone should boot fine now

SOFF: is security off ..once you got this off ..you can change any partition ..like you can install a custom recovery like cwm..over stock recovery ..and custom roms too
but ..HTC-DEV unlock ..is a alternative provided by the HTC ppl ..where when you do unlock ... recovary partition and partitions to make a custom rom work ..got unlocked ..thus this way you can flash cwm and thus custom roms ..
firmware:
to explain that ..think like this ..the complete phone is
hardware + firmware(radio +hboot/bootloader + some others ) + recovery (stock/custom) + ROM (system +data + boot)
now to have a ICS rom ..you need to have ICS firmware ..thus ICS radio (to have good signal) ..and ICS compatible bootloader to have ROM up and running
(remember if you have HTC-Dev unlocked bootloader you cant change the radio and hboot/bootloader)
as you are on ICS priror to doing HTC-dev unlock bootloader ..you are fine now ..as you already got a ICS radio (starts with 11.2x ..in settings->about phone->more->software information->baseband) ..also the hboot/bootloader 1.27.xxx is of ICS one ...
so you are fine with installing any custom roms ...
now there is a little headache when installing custom roms ..via custom recovery in case of HTC-dev unlocked case
some how when you flash a rom ...via cwm..every thing gets flashed except the boot.img which is the primary component to get the phone booting ...so you need to flash the boot.img separately ...that i explained earlier
there is a good recovery which can avoid the extra pain too ..that is 4EXT and the feature is smartflash
to understand the functioning of this recovery
have a good read of this thread ...its for you

Thank you. That's explain a lot. Now I can boot into Cyanogen and everything is fine now. So one last question, Am I have to push boot.img via fastboot everytime I install a new custom rom? If so, what to do when dealing with rom with AROMA installer?
I tried roms with AROMA installer and the installation ends at "SuperWipe". Nothing seems to install to my phone.

yes as long as you have cwm recovery ..you need to do that ..for every custom rom
and
thats why im saying its best to have 4EXT recovery ..as most of roms are 4EXT recovery compatible ..and what more its base is CWM itself ..so what ever backups you made via CWM can be used in 4EXT recovery ..too (and also its touch recovery )
for 4EXT ..recovery ..check the above guide step #2 for installing the 4EXT recovery
step #3 ..which has an amazing feature ..which will be quite useful to you ..(smart flash)
step #5 ..which makes the smartflash permanent

Hey guys, I have tried to install Cyanogen 9 and I'm having the same issue described here - I get stuck at the Cyanogen 9 screen.
Can I get some help? I have tried to reinstall the boot loader as described but that didn't work.
I have also tried to reinstall the rom and that didn't work either :/
I'm really worried and would appreciate any help.
My phone is also a sensation XE I have rooted it and my recovery works with the 4EXT.

HTC Sensation s/w Brick?

my friend installed Rom from CWM and it stuck on HTC Logo (i guess boot loop)
after some research i told him to do
we found out that he phone is S-ON
is it possible to fix this kina of Brick?
i dont need links or something like that just a possible route how to fix it..
Thank you..

You have to flash boot.img from rom zip file from fastboot "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without quotes or enable smartflash in 4ext recovery... Do you have matching fw?

you may have to flash the boot.img manually
that's why it's not booting

in order to get S-OFF i need to install the Boot.img?
i cant just install Stock FIrmware (if possible)
and unlock Bootloader"?

S-OFF is a different story
i suppose you have already unlock bootloader
what fw do you have?

can i take Customize Rom Install it via CWM then install extract boot.img from Zip install it via Fastboot?

yes you can do it via cwm but i suggest you to install 4ext recovery.it is better

As you have cwm your bootloader has been unlocked.... Fastboot or 4ext recovery with smartflash enabled

it matters.
now with that hboot version you can easily S-OFF your device using this site
http://revolutionary.io/ after this you have to change your cid to supercid in order to flash whatever rom you want
if you don't want to do that:go again to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
flash first the appropriate 3.32 fw then the appropriate 3.33 fw and follow step4B in the link i provided you in my previous post
i should had asked you about your hboot version

Did you take a nandroid backup before flashing custom ROM? if yes then restore it, if no then that was silly
If no then there are 2 things you can do:
1. Flash a GB ROM then S-OFF using revolutionary.io method
2. Flash a 3.32 or 3.33 RUU then flash custom ROM
Out of the two I would go with no. 1 because it will save you a great deal of headache later on because revolutionary S-OFF is easier and more user friendly than JuopunutBear

[Q] bricked sensation xe, help

Hey i bricked my htc sensation xe while trying to get the Android 4.1.2 Viper S 3.1.2 Jelly Bean Custom Firmware rom. I followed this tutorial:
cannot post links because im new here sorry, its the first link when you google "vipers 3.1.2 sensation techbeasts"
this is my current situation: when i try to start the phone the green htc sign appears for a few seconds, then the screen turns black and nothing happens. i can access bootloader, fastboot (it connects to my computer) and i can access the recovery menu. when i open bootloader
this information appears:
*** unlocked ***
pyramid pvt ship s-on rl
hboot-1.29.0000
eMMC-boot
Mar 2 2012,18:14:34
this is how it happened: around 10 hours ago i had a completely stock htc sensation xe with Android 4.0.3. Because of perfomance issues
and my need to costumize stuff (years ago i had a jailbreaked ipod touch 2g and it was fun costumizing skins and adding tweaks ) i decided to
install a custom rom on my sensation xe, and i found the vipers 3.1.2 rom online. so i found a simple looking tutorial (link in introduction) to install it. i oversaw the little note that i need a ROOTED sensation and just started following the tutorial. after running into small problems i found out that i have to unlock the phone, which i did successfully with the htcdev website. after flashing the boot.img i was told to reboot the phone and it blackscreens after the htc logo ( it doesnt even show the quietly brilliant part ). its still not rooted by the way.
now i need help from someone, i am completely inexperienced with androids and would like to get my phone back to running, preferably with vipers 3.1.2 .my ideas are to either get it back to stock rom and try the tutorial again (this time with rooting it first ) or maybe to just root it now somehow and to carry on with the vipers rom installation. but i dont want to just go ahead and try it out and maybe hardbrick it. can somebody please help me out and tell me what to do?

You need to install custom recovery and flash a rom of your choice through recovery. The part with flashing boot.img comes after flashing the rom if your phone is not s-off.
Try finding some tutorials for all of the things I told you.

The first thing you need to do is to download an RUU rom for your senny, The n we could go through next step which would be installing it on the senny

your bootloader is already unlocked..then like what nlooooo said in the previous post.. you just need to installing custom recovery choices what ever you want from 4EXT, TWRP or CWM then after that you can installing any custom rom that you want..off course you need always to flashing that rom boot.img too after every installing new custom rom..
hope this can help..

not necessary if you enable smartflash from 4ext recovery exactly before flashing a custom rom(only for S-ON devices)
