No problem. You can also use Superwipe from ARHD ROM thread. It cleans everything for a fresh install.
problem switching ROMs
I have been running ARHD 6.6.3 and am trying to switch to OrDroid 7.1.2.
I thought all I had to do to switch would be
-boot into recovery
-run superwipe (from ARHD thread)
-install OrDroid ROM
but when I do this and reboot it just goes into bootloop.
What step for switching between ROMs am I missing?
are you using the correct firmware for the Rom? Ics based Roms use 3.32 firmware?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
In settings>about phone>software>more it says my build number is 3.32.401.5
I thought it might be this but I already tried reinstalled the latest firmware and still no luck. I was running ARHD before (obviously also a ICS ROM) which is why I don't understand why I can't get OrDroid running.
Still having problems. I ran Superwipe and installed Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2 and that worked ok. Then I ran Superwipe and installed ARHD 6.6.3 again and that also worked. I redownloaded the mirror link for OrDroid 7.1.2 and that still didn't work even using the same process that got the other ROMs working. I also tried installing OrDroid 7.1.0 but that didn't work either.
Anyone know why other ROMs seem to be loading fine but OrDroid just gets stuck in a bootloop everytime?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks
Before installing a new ROM, especially if the two ROMs differ in Sense version or Android version, go to Recovery, select Wipe | Format & Wipe all partitions except SD Card.
This is a fix for the bootloop issue too.
When backing up the Rom that's in your phone before installing the new one does it matter if I back it up in the back up or the advance back up.and what's the difference in the to different back ups?

I don't know the difference, but the "normal" backup has always worked fine for me.

Normal backup has always worked for me too. I use 4ext to back up . Then for apps I use my backup pro. Works for me

Greetings Developers!
Every time I try to flash a kernel, at the end of the process, everything seems to go fine but it shows installation aborted, could someone please help?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
What ROM and what kernel
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Deemonspeed, and faux's both state to be compatible with any sense ROM, am on stock ROM, rooted, I don't really want to flash any Rom at the moment just a custom kernel, but when I try to flash e kernel it shows installation aborted
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Same problem here too. Sensation on 2.3.4 rooted eng s-off trying to install demonspeed kernel but installation aborted. I restart the phone and now the WiFi has error. Then I have to do a complete restore via cw recovery.
Im bumping this one as i have the same problem. Im on the default ROM, trying this kernel:
[KERNEL][NOV.04]Bricked-Kernel|2.6.35.14|v1.5|[email protected]/192|3DFIX|BATTSAVER|ZRAM|CCACHE
I get a status 7 when trying to flash.
All ive done is to have the zip on my SD, wipe cache partition and dalvik cache, and then "install zip from.."
The installation is pretty simple, so i dont really know what to do here hehe Any ideas?
Got a Sensation btw, its s-off and permanently rooted.
This seems to work ok for me ..

I did it in the same way and it worked.
Keep in mind that if you are on 3.0 you have to take FirstTimeKernel3.0.zip
I flashed Android Revolution and flashed the Rcmix Sensation kernel. Now it just boot loops displaying the HTC logo for about 15 seconds and shuts off. I tried restoring a back up to no avail, and wiped everything possible. I really need help and I'm really bummed right now. Thanks in advance.
Try flashing without the kernel. After a full wipe ofcourse.

Trying right now.
Edit: No luck
What recovery are you using? Have you tried formatting the system, data and cache partitions then installing the rom?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Using version 4.0.1.4, the blue text version, and yes Ive tried wiping everything and even mounted in recovery and installed the stock kernel, still boot looping.
Edit: Okay I got it. I just reflashed the stock kernel, then wiped everything, then reflashed the rom, then the stock kernel again. And Badaboom
Hi there,
I've been flashing roms for more than one year now and never had a problem before (I never did a Nandroid backup )
I was using the Virtuous Inquisomething for the past month but I decided to try the Quattro version. Finding it too laggy, I decided to go back to the Inquisi... But problem, after flashing it, my phone keebs rebooting... Htc logo, shows the V logo (sometimes doesn't), black out, then restarts again. I tried different roms, HD Revolution, Light Rom, even the Quattro that I had before but my phone keeps rebooting. I flashed the Firmware to the 3.30, same thing. I wiped the dalvik cache, the cache and everything I could wipe but I have the same problem !
I tried to flash an original file, a Ruu but my computer can't find my phone because I can only access the ToggleUSB via the recovery
Do you guys know how to fix this? Anyone has a Nandroid Backup that I can use? (Tmobile - Sensation 4G? )
Thank you in advance
Curiously, have you ever superwiped your Sensation while doing all these flashes? There might be some residual files here and there that's just causing chaos inside the phone. D:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 Here's the link for ARHD's original thread which has the superwipe down toward the bottom of the first post under "Downloads" and you just flash it like any other file through the 4EXT touch recovery (if you're using that!).
Flash latest firmware.
Download and flash latest ARHD Rom.
Problem solved let me know if anything goes wrong

Thanks for replying. I did exactly what you guys said but... same error... Boots, write HTC ... Quietly brillant and boots again !
I even formatted my Sd Card :/ !
Anyone has a Nandroid Backup?
I see that you only updated to 3.30 firmware. Try updating to the final firmware 3.32 and superwipe before flashing a new rom.
Hello all I'm freaking out a bit since I'm having so many problems with my Sensation today.
Okay I followed all of the steps in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sF2OWf0D9XQ&list=LLXJoLXpA2ML9DAxPOAgeg8Q&feature=mh_lolz until around 10 mins.
I:
1. Got SuperCID.
2. Flashed this firmware (http://ca-tools.co.uk/noob/Patch/TMO/PG58IMG.zip)
3. At this point my phone was stuck in bootloop and when I went to HBOOT it kept asking if I wanted to update (I had a MIUI rom and apparently Gingerbread ROMs don't work with the firmware I flashed).
4. I used a friends phone to delete the update and put Virtuous Inquisition on the phone.
5. I wiped everything Dalvik, Data, etc.
6. I install VI.
Now I'm in a Boot loop it goes from HTC's white screen to VI's icon and back.
Any ideas?

Okay, my HTC Sensation does not boot at all. Even when i run the stock Firmware... It has S-OFF Revolutionary... The only ROM that works is the ViperS and that also comes along with the issue that says com.android.phone has stopped working, along with that the wifi does not work... I've tried EVERYTHING! Can anyone help me please?!
Make sure you have the correct firmware 3.32 or 3.33. Also download 4ext recovery.It's a great recovery and really easy to use.you're soff so you should after doing those things be able to place Rom at root of sd card, do wipe data factory reset, wipe cash, wipe dalvik then install from sd card and reboot. Make sure to have your nandroid backup to be safe. You shouldn't have a issue after doing these things.

I've flashed both 3.23 and 3.33 and still no progress and also i already have that recovery..... And i never did a nandroid backup so i'm stuck!
OK try to wipe everything aside from your sdcard from recovery. Then Install the rom twice, then reboot. Also have you used the superwipe script? Some roms, mostly aosp/aokp roms are not compatible with it. Let us know
