Hello Gentlemen and Gentlewomen,
I know this is my first post, but i have been on XDA quite a while, i'm a not a noob anymore, but i am not far from it .
This week i revieved my sensation, after half a day of playing with it, i quickly wanted more and when i got home i did some googling i came up with the InsertCoin rom, I had some expierence flashing before with my Galaxy S and everything went according to plan. I have InsertCoin 3.4.3 smoothly running now.
The problem is when i tried to get the FULL THEME GingerThyparancy V3.0 - Sept 16th, 2011 for XE based ROMS (1.72.401.1) running on my mobile it gave me a boot loop, i tried different versions of it, still boot loops. And when i downloaded the skin only version from the market i cant select it in the skin ''chooser''.
This is what i did:
Rooted it and made it ready for flashing with help of the noob proof guide here on XDA. Then i flashed InsertCoin 3.4.2, let it boot. Flashed 3.4.3 over it, let it boot. And then flashed the theme, this time when i reboot it i get the boot loop. Doesnt matter wich version i use, always get the bootloop.
I am rocking a brand new HTC Sensation XE. As you by now know i have InsertCoin 3.4.3 on it. Its not branded.
I really hope you guys can help me out because i freaking love the theme, esspacially the theme with a touch of blue.
If you need further info or anything ask me.
Greet, Mark

Hi,
Just a minor observation.
Is IC 3.4.3 a Sense 3.5 ROM?
And you have installed:
FULL THEME GingerThyparancy V3.0 - Sept 16th, 2011 for XE based ROMS (1.72.401.1)
Which I believe is for Sense 3.0 ROMS
I think that may be your problem.
Re-install the IC 3.4.3 ONLY.
Then look for a Sense 3.5 theme HERE
Going to try that when im home, got the phone working, only the theme not. Just checked and i got sense 3.5... Thank you
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
You are trying to install a theme that is made for a sense 3.0 on an sense 3.5 rom.
that definitly is your problem.

Hi,
Go into recovery, wipe your cache partition and dalvik, and then reflash your ROM.
This will restore you back to sanity.
For future reference, always make a nandroid backup BEFORE you make any changes to your phone.
thanks
thanks for the help,
but the problem is when going into recovery or just powering on the phone its going into boot loop.
so the boot screen comes on like the phone is starting but it just keeps repeating and when i boot into recovery the recovery starts, the menu pops up but within about 4 seconds it starts over again in recovery, so both recovery and the actual rom is going intoo boot loop...
thats why I was wondering if it was possible to reflash the rom like the hd2 from hboot bcuz thats the only thing thats seems to be working...
thanks again for any ideas.
I lost my backup of my original factory ROM, I tried the RC ICS ROM and it did not work. I had cyanogenmod 7.1 alpha running but now it is very unstable. I have a series problem where the phone options screen keeps randomly popping up, without me pressing the top power button. I would now like to revert back to the stock Sense 3.0 ROM that shipped with the Sensation. If anyone can help me I would so grateful as this is a super annoying problem to deal with.
I have Revolution, Clockmod Recovery and have tried multiple ROM's and find they all have some sort of bug
Another thing, the battery life has deteriorated to the point that I can not even get more than a half day of standby with a quarter of usage.
Please explain how I can get the factory ROM back on the phone with no bugs or issues. Thanks.
have you tried any other ICS ROM? majority of them are stock with minor tweaks,
insertcoin 4.3.1 is pretty stable
Click Me!
I know you'll probably do so already, but make sure you do a full wipe before flashing the stock ROM
I tried the RCmix ICS but when I installed it, all that happened was it kept popping up a dialog box non stop and was unable to use it so I reverted back to the Cyanogenmod 7.1
Can you please let me know where I can get this ROM, I will give it a shot.
RUU Roms can be found in thread

Hello guys, I've been having unusual problems with my recently purchased 2nd HTC Sensation 4g (it was supposedly brand new). I already have one HTC Sensation 4g running on Revolution HD for almost a year and regularly update it. Anyways, onto my issue with my new HTC Sensation...After I attempted to put on a new 3.33 firmware and the RevolutionHD 6.7.2 ROM, I was unable to boot it (stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant screen). I then tried to put on the latest T-Mobile RUU and again, it got stuck at the boot screen. I then superwiped again and repeatedly try out a bunch of the complete big ROMs (OrDroid 9.0, Elegancia Pegasus, etc) without any success. I was about to give up and figured my phone is bricked, but then decided to try out the more simple CM9 ROMs (Extreme Sensation Power-2) and was shocked it was able to boot and fully function! I then tried out similar ROMs and currently running Infinity's TouchCream 2.1.
I would appreciate if anyone have experienced similar issues and could give me some advice on how I could address it. I will have to do more experimenting to find out what's being going on. I have a feeling it could be a much more complicated problem than just simply mismatched/outdated ROM or Firmware. The reason why is because my 1st HTC Sensation (the control) was tested using the exact same configs without one single hiccup.
Reflash the newest firmware and then ARHD
I assume you are s-off with the latest 4EXT. If not, do that first.
I would download the latest 3.33 universal package: http://d-h.st/bCV, along with the latest ARHD 6.7.2: http://goo.gl/QDuTC
Run the firmware update through HBOOT (place PG58IMG.zip on root of the SD card, VOL DOWN + POWER, accept update), and then reboot into recovery.
4EXT should warn you that it is in safe mode due to a change in your HBOOT/partitions (if not, reboot recovery again, and if still not, you were already on 3.33 with revolutionary HBOOT ), so do a format of all partitions except SD card.
From there, reboot recovery again, and do a full wipe again to be safe, and install ARHD. Leave it for 5m to boot, should work.
Thanks for the advices guys. Unfortunately, none of the methods changed any of the results of my 2nd Sensation. It would still not boot the bigger ARHD or Elengancia ROMs (what appears to be Sense ROMs). However, it boots on CM9 ROMs (like TouchCream or Extreme Sensation). I have an identical phone that's a little older, which I've used as the "control" in my experiment. I've been using pretty much the exact same files and steps that you've mentioned, but my 2nd Sensation wouldn't go past the boot screen, even after 30m of waiting (meanwhile, my 1st Sensation has already finished its first boot within 5m). This happens every single time...frustrating! Please note that my 1st Sensation is also going through the exact same steps, just so I can eliminate obvious software or user errors. Anyways, I'm pretty happy at least I'm able to run TouchCream2.1 on this phone and enjoy pretty much all the functions that the HTC Sensation has to offer after I install the suitable apps & widgets. Thanks again!
Hi,
I've recently had to replace my phone with another SENSATION 4G (bought second-hand, but new). I was originally running an older version of ARHD Gingerbread on my old SENSATION 4G and it was working great. The new phone came with a stock GB, so I decided to go ahead and initiate the ICS OTA update for my phone, but somehow in the middle, it failed. So what happened is that I corrupted my stock ROM and at the same time never had a chance to make a Nandroid backup. I then downloaded ARHD 6.7 ICS and sucessfully installed the custom ROM (followed all procedures to make sure my firmware and radio is updated), BUT everytime I rebooted into first boot, the screen would freeze at the Beats Audio logo (even tried leaving it on for 30min). I then tried different Sense-based ROMs (Elegancia, Dark Forest, original ICS RRU etc) but every time, it would hang at the boot screen. I thought my phone was bricked, but to my surprise, I was able to install smaller AOSP & AOKP based ROMs, like CM9 and Touchcream 2.1, and successfully boot and use them. I really want to be able to use Revolution HD roms to take advantage of my wifi calling, but now just cannot. I'm not totally new to this, as I've just upgraded my sister's Sensation 4G with ARHD 6.7 w/o any problems. I still don't understand why this is happening to my particular phone. Please let me know if you may have a hint of what the problem could be (could the failed OTA ICS update the root of my problem?). Thanks all.
flash a ICS RUU and see

Hi there,
I hope someone out there can help me fix my wife's sensation XE. We both have the same phone and generally the same ROM with no issues, but here's where we are now (apologies for length)
Background
A couple of months ago, she was running Viper 1.5.2. No issues, happy days
One day the screen just stopped responding while she was using either the official Facebook app or the stock browser (she can't remember which). She could wake the phone up but could not unlock it. The screen was perfectly responsive in recovery (4ext) so the problem was only apparent when the ROM was booted up.
I downloaded the latest version of Viper (as a more recent version had been released), fully wiped with superwipe.zip and flashed it.
Strangely, after flashing this, Aroma gave the option to reboot (as usual) and I selected yes, which then led to 'installation failed/installation aborted'. I then had to fully wipe again, flash the ROM again and say no to rebooting through Aroma, so I could manually reboot - which worked fine.
Unfortunately, the same problem with the screen was there right from the beginning as soon as the new version of Viper was booted up.
.
I went back to recovery and manually wiped data/cache/dalvik, as well as formatted system and boot, flashed the ROM again and it was still the same!!
I then fully formatted her SD card using Gparted and reflashed Viper, but it was still the same!!
I then went back to recovery, fully wiped everything again and flashed a different ROM (Elegancia 3.6.0 - sense 3.6) which worked fine straight away once it was booted up.
This seemed to clearly show that something about Viper ROMs had led to this.
Since then, I have flashed some other ROMs for her:
Elegancia 3.7.0 - worked fine
Viper 1.6.0 - screen locked up from the outset
Hypernonsense - worked fine
NB - Every time I flash any ROM, if the reboot option is selected in Aroma, the installation still fails. I have never, ever had this happen on my XE and I flash new ROMs all the time, from sense 3.6 to sense 4.x to MIUI.
The current problem
The problem is that her phone, is generally laggy, seems to run out of battery quickly and freezes a lot until it either catches up after several minutes (but is still then a bit laggy) or she has to pull the battery, regardless of what ROM she has been running. Again, mine has never had this problem and this has only been happening to her phone since the day that it first froze.
Her usage had not/has not changed, and the phone was running well before then, so I don't believe she is causing the lag/freezing/battery issues which she now has - it must stem from whatever caused the initial freeze on Viper 1.5.2.
I feel like due to the fact that full wipes, and formatting her SD card have not helped, the card cannot be the problem, plus I feel the fact that Aroma is no longer able to get the phone to reboot may point to a problem with the phone itself.
Can anyone help me to establish if there is a problem with the actual phone and if so, advise me if there is a way I can reflash/reset the phone itself, or whatever may be needed to get it back to how it was before this happened?
Also if it's not the phone itself and anyone might know what actually has happened, please, please enlighten me!!!
Many thanks for reading this and thanks in advance for any replies.

well, regarding the screen issue, use the battery all the way, til it shuts down. then rwmove the battery n press the powere button as if u were turning on ur phone. then let the phone be still over a night. then re-insert the battery n plug the phone into charge but BEWARE THAT U WILL NOT TOUCH THE SCREEN AT ALL, TIL IT'S FULLY CHARGED. i tried this solution, n it worked. maybe so did it for u :-??
n about the lags, i recommend u to install Seeder 2.00 which is recently released n can decrease the lags as much as possible. and also u could try out making 256/128MB swap with 100% swappiness using Kernel Tuner v4. alsi set these settings IN THE ORDER I'VE TYPED in venom tweaks --> misc --> minfree settings

Install TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project) and use that to flash ViperS once more (after doing a full wipe of course). Since the only recovery that allows the installation of kernels on an S-ON device is 4ext, you will need to extract the boot.img file from the ViperS installer .zip and flash that using fastboot. Detailed instructions on how to flash a boot.img file through fastboot can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
I don't really trust 4ext because 4ext gave me a lot of weird and nasty bugs. Using TWRP is worth a shot.
