Sensation ICS problems

The thing is Im running a rooted android and I tried installing the InsertCoin ICS update and it gets stuck in the booting screen and restarts. How can I get ICS on my rooted sensation4g?
Thanks in advance

Update to the proper firmware for ICS. ICS and GB ROMs have different firmware.
Here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Make sure you read this throughly before attempting to flash. Make sure you have S-Off and your CID is 11111111
Good luck.

you are SOFF..but your radio is too old..for ICS
that's the issue for your bootloop
whats your cid ?
anyways as you are SOFF we will change your cid to superCID (its fine as you can revert it back) if you are already super cid then ignore the next steps and go to firmware steps
supercid: (assumed that you have adb/fastboot setup on your pc)
go to fastboot on your mobile and connect it to pc (mobile reads "fastboot usb" after this )
then go to your adb folder on your pc and type this command
fastboot oem writecid 11111111 (eight ones)
then you are done you are supercid now
now you need to flash firmware 3.32 and install whatever ICS rom you want
firmware 3.32 and flashing any ICS ROM
this is by far the best guide to do that
FIRMWARE 3.32 and ARHD ...you can use the same steps for installing any ICS ROM even though the guide explained on flashing ARHD

Got it working thanks a lot

[Q] Sensation XE wont boot (Alrdy searched this problem for hrs)

So basically i want to start "tuning" my Htc SENSATION XE, and i was looking around to install a cool ROM and i found that Revolutionary 6.7.0 with beats audio.
I was reading all the steps in order to successfully install the ROM.
Ofc my phone is alrdy S-OFF with supercid, but KEEP IN MIND IT WAS NOT ENG H-BOOT.
So i've rooted my phone, rebooted and all went smooth.. than i saw i was in need to update the RADIO.img, in order to do that i need the ENG-H BOOT. (HERE COMES THE PROBLEM)
I've flashed the ENG - HBOOT but when i reboot my phone it won't work, it just keep booting and stuck in beatsaudio logo, than reboot again and again.
So i've tried to restore by using a backup that i've done. Also i've deleted the PG58xxx.img and installed 3.3 firmware, nothing to do still not working, still bootloading and restart.
PLS Any help?
Thats what i see in Fastboot mode

Seems it is a boot problem, its like it wont boot the system and keep rebooting over and over...

I'm not 100 percent sure but your hboot doesn't seem right it should be 1.27. Try flashing the unlock version of 3.32 or 3.33 and try installing a rom.
Sent from my Sensation using xda app-developers app

The hboot you flashed is Completely wrong one
To have correct one.. Flash the 3.32 universal Firmware Then 3.33 firmware
Or alternatively you can flash the jb hboot
For jb hboot go here
http://unlimited.io/hboot-downloads/
Get the pyramid ics one.. From there
And flash it the following way
Connect the phone in bootloader to pc.
Copy the downloaded file to the adb/fastboot folder of your pc.
.. Open a command windows from your adb/fastboot folder
Then type these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver htc)
fastboot flash zip jb_hboot.zip (if failed here.. Let me know)
fastboot reboot

flashing a RUU ..except SOFF and CID change (if you changed to superCID) you will lose everything ..so better do a backup of complete rom ...on sdcard ..then flash RUU and check it for yourself ..if you feel like reverting back
then ..just hboot flash like explained earlier
then custom recovery
then restore your backup

My hsdpa is working perfectly but 3g seems dead, could it be a solution to change my RUU?

even if you have 3g ..it shows h there ...so it is not dead
either the phone shows h/E/G thats all ..if you have h ..it means it is either hsdpa/3g/hspda+

Help - stuck, hopefully didn't brick my phone

Hi all,
I hope one of you masterminds is able to help me out.
I tried to root my sensation without s-off with hecdev.com (using One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0) and then tried to install cm9 from one the links here via revcovery with CWM 5.8.0.9.
But then I was stuck with the loading animation...
I cannot run Android now, so I cannot flash a stock RUU.
I can enter bootloader, which seems to be unlocked, here's the info:
"Unlocked"

I was on the latest official ROM (ICS, via OTA) before trying that.
I have not succeeded in flashing a ROM anymore.
Do I need to get S-Off first?
Or is HBOOT to new? Do I have to revert? How?
I tried older HBOOT, but it wouldn'T do anything after PArsing
Please help, any hint is appreciated =/

PS: I would be more than happy to have a stock rom again...as mentioned, cannot use a ruu.exe file, as it seems fastboot usb ist not recognizable by ruu.exe
Edit: After the 4th or 5th try, RUU recognized the phone when in fastboot usb mode, but update fdailed, cwm saif "security fail" ... sigh, seems I really blew it this time

Hi,
Start again using THIS GUIDE

Flash the boot.img from your ROM through fastboot.
Extra step 1 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345
Be sure to use the boot.img from your ROM.
Then make a clean install of the ROM again.
Also, read that thread for the sake of understanding what you're doing.
There is NO need yet to flash an RUU.

Latest OTA comes with hboot 1.29 which is locked.
You might not be in the latest one, perhaps start with an RUU with.the latest fw (3.33).

thanks malybru & kgs1992 - tried that, and the 4ext touch recoery said both superwipe and the rom installed correctly.
but when rebooting the white screen with the green htc logo appears right away and nothing more happens...any idea? I may have messed up the kernel before, but when asked by ext4 recovery whether to flash a kernel, tried both custom and stock, none changed the problem with booting up

@Raven2k: Manually installing boot.img with fastbok seemed to help, at least I come over the white screen, am stuck with the beatsaudio logo right now - thanks so far =)

Have you updated to newest firmware 3.33? Some Roms require it most run 3.32 and 3.33 however I've noticed some asking for 3.33.perhaps this could be a issue? Does the Rom suggest on the developers site 3.33?
Just a thought? Your s off , you have 4ext recovery, your wiping cash and dalvik, wipe data factory reset, you have done all that, perhaps its the firmware? Also did you check the md5 sums before installing to make sure they match developers? If they don't match it could be a corrupted download. If they are matching I'd read over the specs for that particular Rom and see if 3.33 is a requirement. Best wishes.

as the rom is just flashed ..you need to wait until its properly booted ..then reboot to recovery again and flash the kernel (always flash mods/kernels is not advisable ...during first flash of ROM)
now ..do a complete wipe again (4EXT -> wipe|format -> format all partitions except sdcard) then flash the rom ..boot it up ..then go back to recovery and then flash the kernel

Well no ruu for now, but as JavierArends says you can use TrickDroid and BackToBasics Rom. I was having that problem too. No boot, stuck on htc screen. The problems is that ther is no base software 4.0.4+ for that phone. If you want to use your phone againa flash backtobasics, but that rom is Senseless, but works great, if you want Sense you can install TrickDroid this way:
Download trickdroid v2.0.0 , full wipe (user, cache, dalvik) flash Rom, go to bootloader adn flash boot.img and reboot until it works
After that you can download trickdoid v3.0.0 and flash only wiping cache and dalvik
that works for me

Hard Bricked?

If you can enter to bootloader you can run a ruu from there. If you the locked the bootloader the ruu has to work fine. In order to install trick droid you have to unlock boot loader , install recovery and gain root access. I think the only thing you have to flash with fast boot is the boot.img

I have a HTC One S villec s3, and I unlocked it using the official HTCDev method, then I tried to install CWM but I couldn't, then I successfuly installed TWRP, and it worked fine.
I made a backup of the official ROM so good, but after doing factory reset, wiping cache/dalvik I accidentally press power and the phone was powered off. Now when I turn it on I can get into bootloader but I can't enter into TWRP, I tried reinstalling TWRP but I can not get into TWRP, only thing that I see is the logo of TWRP and suddenly restart.

my bad.. you are from telcel.. so you have the annoying CID BSTAR301. i found a JB OTA from our CID http://www.shipped-roms.com/downloa...15.20.29_M_release_315588dsq1aqy4avpc8u41.zip but.. i don't know if works.... you can try install some sense based ROM like viper compatible with Moonshine to get S-OFF or you can try install any ROM and try rumrunner to S-OFF. after that you can try fastboot oem overwrite cid HTC__044 or something like that... its HTC Asian CID.. if that not work you can try this

OK... @JavierG123
I already found an existing tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911
The only difference is, VilleC2 can't use 11111111. You can change it to HTC__044 (Asia Version)
Then, in this download page : http://androidruu.com/?developer=VilleC2
Download this: RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.15.707.101_Radio_16.21.20.02U_16.09.20.11_M2_release_289564_signed.exe
Then you can flash the pure RUU

Well, here is what I have done so far...
Downloaded the Ruu Asia, downloaded the BSTAR OTA and downloaded Viper also...
Flashed Viper rom and Wrote the Viper boot.img file and phone keeps in bootloop.
So, At this time I opened IR'Key software and after reading phone info I could notice teh CID was changed itself from BSTAR to HTC__01, awesome, I would no believe it. SO I used teh sane software and edited the CID to be the ASIAN one, and it CHANGED !!
great
I then tried to flash the Stock Asian RUU, first I relocked the BOOT.
The RUU started to work and gave an error complaining the MODEL is not compatible
Now I cant enter recovery, and cant unlock bootloader vbecause the unlockFile doesnt work (I think I have to go through all the way to the bootloader unlock process to install the recovery again)
The question is, do I have to also edit the Model ID ? and what is the correct model ID for the ASIAN RUU to be compatible ?
