TMOUSA Sensation 4G help

Alright guys I got s-off and thats about it. I want ics on my phone but once I update to the nnewest firmware and flash an ics rom it stays stuck on white HTC screen. I've had to use RUU twice because I can't load a recovery without updating firmware and once i do that my phone does not boot. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get ics on my sensation 4g?

Make sure you get SuperCID so the firmware update goes through. If you don't have SuperCID then it can look like it updated but it actually fails.
Once you get the firmware flashed properly, you have to delete or rename the firmware zip from your SD card so that you can access recovery.

I did that. super cid to 11111111 and to the latest firmware even tried it with the patch. I am able to go into recovery but everytime I flash any rom it stays stuck on the white HTC screen after I boot it up.

Sounds like you might be one of those unlucky users. Have you tried this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542555

The steps I used are...flash firmware 3.32 ,then superwipe( very important if coming from GB, then Rom this has seemed to work for me..
Also did you do a MD5 to check the file of the Rom to make sure it was the same?

The problem with this might be which version of htc sense was cooked into the Rom you are using. If you are using a android 4.0.3 rom with sense 3.5 then you need firmware package 3.12 because sense 3.5 needs HBOOT 1.23, and sense 3.6 needs HBOOT 1.27 so you would use the 3.24, 3.30, 3.32 but again it all depends on what the chef has built from if the chef used a 3.5 sense in the rom then that might be your issue.
If not try to just start over, completely format your sd card, then put your rom, supersipe, and firmware on sd card.
1. install firmware from recovery once installed pull battery out and remove sd to take off the firmware file,
2. reinstall sd card, boot phone into recovery- go to install from zip and run the superwipe script once it finishes it will reboot into recovery.
3. then install the rom of your choosing and see if that works.
I use the energy rom series and flashed over from GB using the instructions i found in that forum, it does get confusing if you have not do it a million times....hope this helps ICS is awesome...

I want to super wipe but I'm not sure which one to download. Also guys, I'm on stock tmobile usa rom. No custom rom

I used the super wipe from android revolution...u have to make sure it is a sensation superwipe though...if I were u I would head to the android development forum and there are step by step guides I have used android revolution and the energy Rom series both have pretty good instructions..pm if u need help it can get confusing...also when u flashed firmware were you still on stock GB Rom?

Stock is not needed.
You need to ensure that F/W and ROM are compatible. I.e. ICS 1.27.xxxx F/W WILL NOT work with a GB ROM, and GB 1.17.xxxx WILL NOT work with ICS.
Flash the F/W, if not already done. Can't remember what you are on.
SuperWipe (from Mike's ARHD thread).
Flash your chosen ICS ROM.
Pop out the SD card, reboot insert and then delete the PG58IMG.zip ONLY if you flashed the F/W.
Deep joy.

What Rom do u plan on using...if I knew that I could tell you exactly what firmware to flash, it dosent matter that u flash firmware over stock rom, but if the firmware isn't compatible then the phone won't boot up...

Pleas need urgent expert advice.
Thx.

It because you've tried to flash a GB RUU with ICS firmware.
You need to go find the 1.17 firmware package from Mikes thread, install that then run the older RUU. This will return you to stock and remove your root. S-OFF should remain untouched.

Same problem with me.
Can you please help me and guide me to the whole procedure of running older RUU?

I had this problem when flash OTA with custom recovery, install to htc recovery flash again. I used this guide to install the right recovery if you on custom this may help. [GUIDE] Get Stock Recovery/Install OTA Updates without losing data.

I was happy t see your post but unfortunatly i have xp pc and that solution works only on win 7.
Any other way ??

If you place the 1.17 firmware on to the root of your SD then boot into boot loader the update will start automatically, power off, remove the 1.17.zip from the sd, then flash any of the GB roms.
Once you have a booting rom again, just plug the phone in via USB and run the chosen RUU. The RUU will replace everything bar your s-off. It will install the stock recovery, radio, rom etc.
Make sure you have all the correct drivers installed, if your unsure still there are numerous guides in the dev forum.

But still stuck with htc logo.Got this rom from mediafire coz all links are dead megaupload.
I am noob.

try flashing any of the custom GB roms first (android revolution for example) before you run the RUU.
You need a booting rom before you flash the RUU. Remember to flash the superwipe.zip before flashing android revolution.
Hope you get some joy.

[Q] I think I may have bricked my Sensation

Hello I am a noob and I need help please.
On Tuesday I rooted my HTC XE Sensation after finding a way to root and unlock it. Well after I did all of that I went to add the custom CoinDroid rom onto my phone and now my phone will not do anything. I removed the file from my sd card and re-added everything I did to root & unlock the phone and now it just stays at the HTC logo white screen.
I am able to get on the bootloader and I have used recovery on my phone every time with CWM. And nothing happens. Is my phone bricked? If not is there a way to get my phone to work?
On the bootload screen it reads:

Try to flash a GB ROM. I think you're trying to flash a Sense 3.6 ROM or something without having the proper firmware.
- Try using 4Ext instead of ClockWork

Ok will I be able to add 4Ext on to my phone my placing my sd card into a sd card reader and how do I flash the GB Rom?

Well you won't be able to use 4ext until you can download it off the market.
Find a nice Gingerbread ROM off development, or you can try ARHD sense 3.5 ROM. Don't try to usr 3.6 because you probably don't have proper firmware. Download the 3.5 ROM, put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into recovery, superwipe everything and then flash the ARHD ROM. Make sure you check md5 sum.
Sent from my Sensation 4G using XDA

I just saw that you have S-On. I think another problem is that you have S-on. There are a couple guides in development that guide you through the process. Obtain S-off, super CID, then try to flash again. You can do all that through ADB. Imma head to sleep now, will help you tomorrow if you still need help.

I'm lost

Alright so here we go:
Step 1: Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300. This is the thread for S-Off. Do that first. This might solve your problem. After you have S-Off do the next step.
Step 2: Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460801 and download the ROM. You don't have to stick with this ROM. It's just to check if it works. Make sure you put the downloaded ROM into the ROOT of your SD card. Don't put it in any folder.
Step 3: Put your SD card back into your phone and reboot to recovery(CWM). Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik-Chache.) Once you've done that, flash the ROM. After flashing, reboot your phone and it should reboot. First boot takes a while. If it seems to bootloop, try to flash one more time. If it still bootloops, All I can tell you to do is either try and unroot it and set it like factory or try to upgrade your Frimware.
(If your phone did boot up correctly)
Step 4: Go to the market and download 4EXT. Follow the directions to have your recovery changed.
Step 5: I am assuimging you have changed your CID to 11111111. If not, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and follow the directions on how to change your CID.
Step 6: Most ROMS now adays will require the new firmware. To do that, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618. Follow the directions on how to change your firmware. Read the directions are fully, doing this wrong could make your phone useless. After your firmware is changed, go on development and download a ROM you might like. Read through and make sure the firmware that ROM requires is the firmware that you have.
That Should worlk. Good luck.

Hi,
Did you make a nandroid backup before you started.
If so,restore it .
If not,why not?
Look HERE
Follow the thread to get 4EXT recovery on your phone ,and using "Smartflash" to get custom ROMS onto your phone.

Use fastboot usb and try flashing boot.img over adb. It worked for me

i have a similar problem. cm10 will install it all goose good until you get to the setup part then it reboots. everytime.almost like a bootloop. i have s-off. unlocked bootloader,supercid. but my hboot is 1.17.0008. i went thru revolutionary do i need to update my hboot and do the hole root over useing jb? the onlything i can think of.........any ideas???

Yes, firmware 1.17 will ALWAYS cause reboots on android 4.x. Update your firmware (probably to 3.33)
Look here for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154
Follow all instructions to update firmware. You basically put the file on your SD card and boot to bootloader. The bootloader should update the firmware from there.

Had this problem too until I used 4ext with the smart flash option. no real need to s-off now.

I bought a new HTC Sensation xe with beats audio and decided to root it. I followed one of the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 on xda forum and everything worked fine EXCEPT my camera wasn't working. After reading forums after forums, I learned that the only way to make my camera work is to flash a different rom. Then I read and watch tutorials after tutorials to learn how to flash a custom rom and here is what I did:
1. I went into clockwork mode (recovery)
2. I wiped system
3. Wiped cache
4. Wipe data factory/reset
5. Wipe dalvik cache
6. After that I installed zip from Sd ( the custom rom).
7. I rebooted
Now here is the real problem. Everything went smooth, and before installation I was told that the first reboot can take a while. But its been over 50 minutes and my phone is still on the HTC logo screen. I know it takes long, but come not that long. Am I stuck in a bootloop? It doesn't reboot itself, its just stuck on the HTC logo screen. PLEASE I beg you guys help me xda is my only chance to fix this phone.

Actually he is on S-OFF so it is unecessary to enable smartflash
Secondly flashing boot.img won't help either
OP the only thing you have to do is to upgrade your firmware
Flash 3.33 universal from the firmware thread in development section
Folow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
After that your Rom wil boot
