Want a custom Rom.... Someone started but never finished the job. Where to start??

Hi everone,
I'm having a bit of a problem.... I just bought a HTC Sensation 4g from someone and I want to put a custom ROM on there. Problem is, this person has already started the process and I have no idea were to pick up and I don't want to accidently brick my phone so, if possible can someone tell me what to do?
Details:
I the phone will not boot pass HTC logo screen.
I have no idea of any specifications in the phone because it won't boot up.
I have SuperWiped it.
ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.0

Your help is most appreciated!

If you have superwiped but have not yet flashed a ROM then of course your phone won't boot up since there is nothing to boot. Your phone is already S-OFF. Which ROM are you trying to flash? Depending on the ROM you may need to update your firmware.

Based on your radio and hboot we can say that your firmware is bit old gb firmware .as Hboot is old but you are soff and unlocked by revolutionary so thats fine.
First of all get your cid
Fastboot getvar cid
If it is supercid 11111111 then you can flash any stock Rom otherwise you need to get the corrsponding Rom for your device.
So if you want ics
update the firmware from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Then you can flash any custom Rom.
I advise you to supercid just in case to prevent bootloops

Thanks for your quick response.
The ROM I'm looking forward to having is OpenSensation/Cyanogenmod 9/ICS.
Do I need to update the firmware? If so, how and to which one?
-Thank you

Ok, I have Supercid 11111111 on the phone now.
For my Rom, I want OpenSensation/Cyanogenmod 9/ICS.
Per your link, I should update my firmware to -
"3.32 Unlocked is the latest/stable release ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)"???
-Thanks

Yes that is correct. Flash your new firmware then go back and flash your new rom. Should work peachy keen. Would also recommend using 4ext recovery instead of CWM. More of the custom ROM's for the Sensation require it because of it's interactive installer.

If possible, should I change from Clockworkmod to 4ext recovery before I flash the firmware and flash the the new rom? If so, please send me the steps to to it via bootloader.
Thank you!

Hi, you might have a look at this. It is a complete guide to install a custom ROM.
Hope this will help you out, it helped me out at least

[Q] [q] htc sensation 4g bootloop

Ok so i had an ICS rom running on my sensation and then i saw the virtuous incision rom and i wanted it. so i updated to 3.32 and i wiped data, dalvic,and cache and then flashed the rom but it just keeps looping. I can't flash any other rom either because it does the same thing. And i do have supercid. Please help!! (

Are you soff?
If not and you are htcdev unlocked
Then you need to extract boot.img from the rom zip file (usually in kernels folder)
Then you need to flash the boot.img via fastboot
Command
fastboot flash boot boot.img

So there's no problem... When you said you had ics rom you might have 3.32 firmware.. Why update it again? Any ways what's your hboot saying now? post all the stuff in hboot..
Also I recommend you to do a factory reset / wipe all partitions except sd card... From the custom recovery you have and flash the rom again... If you are on 3.32 then you should not have any problem

It says

Radio- 11.22. 3504_7M
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131

and i updated because i thought i needed to for the new rom, i see now I'm an idiot Dx

also
I tried flashing the rom again after wiping like you said, and i just got to boot loop again D:

Then the only reason Is firmware is not properly flashed... Get the 3.32 firmware from this thread and flash it again...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
Then flash the rom again on top of it.. Also this time do a factory reset/format

when i tried to update again it would say parsing and then it wouldn't start the update with the latest file of the link you sent me

Make sure the name is fine.. It should be PG58IMG if you are using windows..And keep it on top of sdcard..
Then hboot should automatically find the update (try this couple of times)
If it still doesn't work. Get 3.24 firmware from the same link and flash it and see
Btw you are supercid right? Also the hboot you posted earlier is fine.

i flashed it, and i am supercid, now I'm waiting to see if itl work

What did i do wrong?
It continues to boot loop after everything

Do one thing right now you got virtuous rom right.
Try to do a restore from backup... From your custom recovery.. I assume you have Nand backup..
And see that solves the problem
Otherwise
2. Extract the boot.img from the rom you've flashed.. (it will be in kernel folder inside the zip file) Then flash the boot.img via fastboot.. Keep the boot.img in your adb folder and Type this
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
3rd chance
3.flash 3.24 firmware from the thread ive linked.. And flash the rom again.
Final chance
Get the ICS RUU of Europe one (get this from pyramid shipped rom collections) thread GOOGLE it) and run the RUU.. With you phone connected to your device in fastboot
This will restore you to stock ics... After this you'll have to flash recovery and all again

[Q] PLEASE HELP! random rebooting about every 5 min

random rebooting after flashing CM9 nightly roms. seems to be some kind of bug every time i start an application or turn on mobile data it cuases a reboot. i have flashed all of the following roms in an attempt to fix the problem:
PkMn ROM 4.1 Charmander
OrDroid V6.0.0
and the latest official cyanogenmod nightly
i did a restore to an ics lee droid rom i previously backed up before
and it seemed to run without a problem but after that i re flashed PkMn ROM for the sensation and now it performs a hot reboot instead. if anyone could help it would be greatly apprieciated as the problem seems to worsen after every reboot.
some times it would just go into a bootloop.

I think some partition is still corrupted.. I recommend you to do a wipe from recovery rather than scripts (if using 4ext then wipe/format ->>format all partitions except sdcard) and then flash another rom Again
If that didn't solved the issue RUU is the next thing.. If you are soff and supercid then get any ics RUU and run it.. It completely formats through phone and takes everything to stock.. But still retains soff.. So you revert back to normal once you do a ruu run(remember ruu run should be done with device in fastboot)

Before you look into a partition problem, which is a pain to fix, check to make sure the battery is securely seated in the phone.
The batteries can become loose over time. Not very loose, but just enough to break electrical contact. And if the electrical contact is broken and restored quickly, a reboot is likely.
Open the phone and see if the battery wiggled. See if you can create the reboot problem by jiggling the battery. If you can, there are a few things to try to make the battery tighter.

Thanks for your suggestion. i saw a post on this yesturday, and this doesnt seem to be my issue, althought i tried the trick that is mentioned on the post, about putting a business card to make it tighter, and it deffinitely made it very tight, but the issue remained. thanks for your help though

Formatting all partitions is better than SuperWipe. It will ensure everything is completely cleaned out.

ok we do it different way then
first extract the rom.zip from any ICS RUU (choose one )
here is the guide to extract the rom.zip
http://www.htcsensationforum.com/htc-sensation-rooting/how-to-extract-rom-zip-from-ruu/
then keep the rom.zip in adb folder
keep the phone in fastboot
and connect it to pc (mobile reads "fastboot usb")
now type these commands one by one
1.fastboot erase cache
2.fastboot oem rebootRUU
3.fastboot flash zip rom.zip
4.fastboot reboot
if worked fine otherwise
im particularly interested in the complete output of the third command
so use PASTEBIN to paste the output and then repost the url with the pasted output

Some questions. The method from above is the same one used for flashing engineering bootloader after JB S Off
So, what exactly is this RUU mode? And does it bypass CID and fw version checks?
Also, what are the requirements for this mode to work (i.e. S-Off, unlocked bootloader)?
What are the benefits of using this over renaming rom.zip to PG58IMG.zip and flashing?
Thanks a lot for this. It will surely come in handy sometime & will definitely go into my guide.

its the same way as flashing via PG58IMG way
to bluntly say the PG58IMG flashing ..internally does the flashing the same way I've put it
RUU mode is the lowest level(visible) mode where flashing of bootloader,firmware,radio and even ROM is possible but the file format should be of PG58IMG zip
so simply put any PG58IMG.zip file which is not being parsed by bootloader properly can be manually flashed the above way
the same requirements that apply for PG58IMG.zip file applies over here too
i.e SOFF (irrespective of type of bootloader)
or unlocked bootloader with SON ...(remember in this case as only recovery,boot,data,system partitions are opened only those partitions can be flashed )

no please don't get me wrong
at the end the zip we are flashing requires android-info.txt too (PG58IMG.zip has it too) which has cid and mid to it
the cid check is bypassed only when you are SOFF or has unlocked bootloader (for unlocked bootloader ..we still require cid signed radio,hboot (firmware) to update them via this method ..this is required as they are still secured [SON])
the above way of flashing gives you much more detail of whats happening when on command prompt..where we can identify the problem ..when flashing RUU..precisely

[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

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)

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

I think I bricked my Sensation Xe

hi seniors
i am new to Android phones.
I have HTC Sensation Xe which was rooted and with unlocked boot loader, also have super user permission(what ever in technical terminology).
Hboot verion 1.29.0000 and it's S-On.
Recently I tried to install Elegancia Rom on it, after following instructions I flashed my phone.
After restarting my phone, It got stuck at elegancia boot screen.
I have waited for it to boot for more then 15 min, but it never went ahead from that screen.
I have tried to wipe cache and dalvik etc. and re flashed again. But every time it stuck at elegancia boot screen.
I have tried to restore backup( Nandroid) from recovery screen( which is 4ext recovery), but it not recognizing my backup.
Now I am not able to do anything on my phone, so please help me how to revive my phone??

Its not bricked. The problem is you are S-ON and so should have enabled SmartFlash in 4EXT or manually flash a boot.img using fastboot flash boot boot.img
There is a guide somewhere in the general section about flashing ROMs with S-ON, read and follow the instructions

The type of stock ROM you can install depends on S-ON/S-OFF status, CID and Model ID. you have Sensation XE - Model ID of PG5831001 (I think) so you can only install RUU_Pyramid_LE_ stock RUU's
Then you have S-ON so you can only install the same or higher RUU version as what you are on (to check use fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" and look for mainversion in the output) eg if mainversion = 3.33.401.106 then you can only install the 3.33.401.106 or higher RUU.
Then comes your CID, if you have superCID (11111111) then you can install any RUU, however if you are a tmobile user or vodafone, you will most likely have a different CID (to check use fastboot command "fastboot oem getvar cid"). so if you are tmous CID then you can only flash T-Mobile RUU's but most Sensation XE's sold come with CID HTC__001 which means any RUU version (depending on the above 2 points)

Then comes your CID, if you have superCID (11111111) then you can install any RUU, however if you are a tmobile user or vodafone, you will most likely have a different CID (to check use fastboot command "fastboot oem getvar cid"). so if you are tmous CID then you can only flash T-Mobile RUU's but most Sensation XE's sold come with CID HTC__001 which means any RUU version (depending on the above 2 points)
Don't worry about it, we are all new android users at some point

Thnx again man. You are really helpful.
I have
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL.
HBOOT-1.29.0000
eMMC-boot
Main version is 3.33.4.1.106 as you said, and CID is HTC_001.
I have downloaded stock ROM (RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.106_Radio_11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_266172_signed), but when I tried to install it failed.
So tell me what I am doing wrong. Right now I am installing Darkforest Rom, but in future If I want to flash stock rom them what should I do??

What error code are you getting? Sometimes the phone needs to be connected to the pc when its in bootloader mode before the RUU will run without errors

It was like, this update cannot be installed on your phone. My phone was not connected in bootloader mod when I tried, also I have installed Elegancia Sense 4.0 rom on my phone.
BUT AS OF now, I have installed your DarkForest rom and it's working fine. SO I would like to explore the same.
In future if I want to get back to stock rom, then I will get guidance from you.
Thnx man for prompt replies every time. I really appreciates it.
:good:
