Backup existing ROM, flash the zip, enjoy. If you want to find out how primo s is check out the thread for that particular ROM. I remember that the camera, wifi hotspot and usb tethering are not working
Is there any danger involved in it such as emmc chip.fried or something like that ???

No. If you don't pull the battery while the phone is running you won't fry your emmc.
Just backup your current system from recovery, do a full wipe (not sd card!!) And flash the ROM zip from recovery. If you unlocked with htcdev you need to flash the boot.img separately afterwards. Reboot. Done. It's simple like that.

Eyahl how was rom
Worked well on urss?
Any problem in rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire S
Its a beta ROM, with quite a few features not working (like camera)... so there are issues, including random reboots once in a while...
It's not great, its only meant to give you a taste of android 4.0 just wait for the correct kernels to provide fixes for issues

What is the best way of flashing an custom Rom?
S-off your device and flash a recovery,then download a rom and install it wih recovery
Best recovey: 4ext beta 2.2.6
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
Don't forget to root your phone after S-offing.
It's be important for flashing a custom rom
+1 for the recovery
If he install a custom rom.it ll be already rooted
Unless he install a ruu
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App
Exactly, that's what I'm writing.
he must be S-off with RUU rom, and root too, without problem. It's more practice to making all operations in the same time.
But he said that he want to flash a custom rom, so he must be:
1 - S-off
2 - Root
3- Nand backup (more important)
4 - Flash rom custom
Our posts are complementary
I directly flashed a rom after s-off

Revolutionnary patch, do a quick search and you'll find link easily.
Oh come on
Nandroid backup is useless
I bought my ds and s-offed it directly
No nandroid
No root zip
When you install a recovery,you don t need nandroid unless you want to install a ruu
He want to install a rom,so if the rom is breaked,there is no problem.downloading it again,he can reflash it.
The only thing that is necessary, it s the recovery.with this you can do anything

i flashed VipersS and when i reboot it just does like...a boot loop on the bright HTC logo screen??? idk if thats boot looop or not...please someone help me, and im dieing to use VipersS Rom, btw, im on S-OFF
Do you have the correct firmware 3.32 or 3.33? Did you do a wipe before flashing? I'm s off and before I installed viper I wipe cash, wipe dalvik , wipe data factory reset (do this in 4ext recovery) stay in recovery choose zip from sd card , flash, reboot.
It should be fine if you follow those steps and Are using the correct firmware.hope this helps.

i am coming from the amazing Elegancia. and i originaly wanted VipersS Rom but never got it to work, so idk exsactly what version im coming from, all ik is im coming from the latest Elegancia. Ik all the wiping procedures. lol im not new to rooting, just new to HTC and the Sensation.
Try it as I told you and it should work, wiping is very important. You do have 4 ext recovery don't you? 4 ext makes things very easy, . Just remember to wipe before installation. Hope this helps and hope you enjoy your sensation!

so...how do i upgrade i guess to 3.33?
First download the universal 3.33 firmware then you install it from the bootloader.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
To put the firmware on your device put the pg58img file on root of sd card then reboot into bootloader by removing battery put battery back in, press volume down and power your device will recognize the file and ask to upgrade volume up for yes. It will upgrade then remove the file off the sd card or it will continue to want to update. This is how you install firmware
It seems like a lot but once you do it you won't forget.

Yeah, i upgraded to 3.33...still does the htc logo reboot...wtf...
Don't know why it's still not booting? You followed all the directions and seemed to have done everything correctly that I know of. Hopefully someone else has more ideas. Try a fresh download see if that will help , if not I'm not sure what else to do.perhaps someone else has some ideas. I do wish you the best and I'm sorry it's not booting? Is it just viper not booting? Very strange. I do wish I could be of more help

Hi,
Flashing kernels is fine.
Make sure you have 4 EXT recovery,and "Smartflash" enabled.

Do you have to flash back to stock, I eventually want to s off but at the moment phone works pretty good it was pretty easy to getting root an recovery, unlocking boot loader so when I decide to s off do I have to do anything special to start the process?

I've run multiple versions of CleanROM and also CM10, but anytime I install a Sense based JB ROM (I've tried Newt's, JellyBlam, and a few others), my phone gets stuck on the HTC boot splash, reboots, and enters recovery. I am on HBOOT 1.09 and Ive tried to fastboot flash the boot.img just to be sure, but it still doesn't work? I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, any clue what it is? Thanks in advance.
Are you doing full wipes before flashing?

And yet it won't work. lol
Maybe you have an init.d folder that is telling the JB ROM to overclock? Could check and delete that first. Otherwise you can double check the md5 of the ROM you're flashing to make sure its not corrupt. Aside from that it might be worthwhile to try a ROM like urdroid which allows you to flash the kernel during the installer.
Dunno man, your problem is a strange one.

Urdroid was another that i tried. It would get to the ROMs boot splash and lock there, but its the only one i recall that even got that far out of the 3 or so that i tried. where would that init.d folder be?
Either the directory of the /sdcard or /. I forget which as I have deleted it. But it should be a folder. Don't delete it if it's by itself.

Really sounds like you are not flashing the boot.img correctly.
Extract the boot.img from the ROM you want to use and install it with:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You're not alone....

I've been experiencing the same problem on my HTC Sensation 4G for the past couple years since I've had it. I have 3 HTC Sensations in my family and I've been playing around with all 3 phones during the last year. On my sister and my mom's phones, I'm able to install any rom (Sense-based...ARHD, Elegencia; and AOSP/AOKP-based...CM10, Paranoid Android, etc); however, on my own phone, after dozens of installs, trying all types of different kernels and roms, I was only able to install AOSP/AOKP-based ones. I've been running Touchcream ICS rom for awhile, then Paranoid Android, and currently JB Samsation V5 on my HTC and I love it. I'm really not missing out on anything, but it's just weird Sense-based roms just wouldn't boot. After some researching on the forum and experimenting with others, I've deducted that the reason could be very well my own hardware. :victory:

Hope this helps: excerpt from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293032. I believe the installation process is the same.
1.Make nandroid of your current rom.
2 Wipe cache,dalvik cache, system, and factory reset
3.Flash rom
4 If your're s-off or on hboot 1.09 then you can reboot to system. If your're not s-off and have hboot 1.14 or greater go to step 5
5 Reboot to bootloader and select fastboot
6 Open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img to your fastboot directory.
7.Plug phone into computer and verify connection
8 Flash boot.img with this command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
9 Now you can reboot to system and enjoy the rom

OK - so I think I 'found' this rom (you could too with just a little detective work), and feeling daring, I installed it.
Very smooth.... maybe just even a bit smoother than the 1.26 base that the other two Sense 5 roms use.
So far so good...:silly:
