Okay so I recently started trying to flash my phone to different roms but eventually the phone stopped working.
When I switch it on it just goes into the (HTC logo + white screen), then after around 30 secs resets. This just loops forever, yes i can take it into bootloader and recovery and have tried formatting the whole phone, taking it apart to look for burn out parts, flashing to different roms, flashing to the stock rom (Sensation_3.32.401.105_R_odexed.zip) But it is still stuck.

Also I thought I might mention the the bottom of the phone, where the touch menu buttons are, gets quite hot but this was happening before I even rooted it when I did something resource intensive on the phone.
I will rate any replies as "thanks" so please reply!
What Rom did you flash
sent from xda premium:sensation4g s off Insertcoin Ic Evolution v2.0 kernel 3.0.30-Bricked-3.0-v1.1
Did you flash a GB Rom? You have 3.32 firmware which is perfect for ICS roms, however if you tried to flash a GB Rom with that firmware you WILL bootloop. Because GB roms take a different firmware. So first its important to know which Rom you flashed. Also did you do a nandroid backup before flashing ? If so you should be able to go into recovery and restore with your backup to what you had before flashing. As long as that is compatible with your firmware. Did you do the backup before flashing? Hope this helps some....please provide more information such as the Rom you flashed, and did you nandroid backup before?

See there is a way to flash custom roms.. When you have unlocked bootloader with S-ON.. The standard way of flashing will not work completely
You need to extract the boot.img from the rom zip you've last flashed and use that to do "extra 1" step from this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345
Also read that guide completely.. It explains how to flash roms with S-ON which is your case
If only you read a bit about on how to flash the roms.. With unlocked bootloader.. You would have come out fine.. But nevertheless... Read the guide to the letter

Hi all! I will appreciate if you help me with this.
I've got last OTA update with 2.3.5, but I'm really disappointed of Sense 3.0
So I've decided to install a custom ROM for the first time. I've heard of Revolutionary S-OFF but It doesn't support HBOOT 2.00.0002
I've found other way to unlock my Desire S. I did this with htcdev site. Then I've installed 4EXPRecovery and turn on root on my phone. All was successful until I reached to installing custom ROM. I've put Cyanogen nightly ROM to SD card, then entered recovery and wiped system. Then installed ROM from zip. This was successful but I stucked in white screen with HTC logo when trying to boot the device.
I've tried many ROMs like Cyanogen, MIUI, Virtue etc. Each time attempts resulting into white HTC screen.
Now I have

Before installing new Rom is it necessary to perform a full wipe (data, system and cache). Make a full wipe and try again. Make also a Goldcard - this will erase all the data on your SDcard, so make a backup first (check the tool here) an try to flash the ROM with it.
Can't write everything down because I put like 14 hours straight into my new best friend.
I tried to flash RDHD to my phone, which I just bought 3 days ago, first did the guide to S-off, unlock, cwm, root and superCID (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300)
Then tried to install last RDHD gingerbread version(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849)
This first installed EXT4 recovery for me at which point I flashed it again.
Tried a few other ROMs, only like 4 of them.
Oh yeah I searched everywhere even on other websites besides XDA!! Nothing solved it, nothing.
Tried to change firmware
Now I am at a point where I can't seem to understand what the f*ck is going on. I tried this GUIDE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298)

Try superwipe, reformat SD, download from & firmware (fw 3.24/3.25 for ARHD 6.2.1, fw 3.32 for ARHD 6.5.1) and flash it again:
- put firmware PG58IMG.zip, Superwipe Script and ROM zip on SD root
- check md5 hash
- check md5 hash again
- boot into recovery
- flash Superwipe script
- flash ROM
- reboot into bootloader
- flash PG58IMG.zip (this will reboot automatically once during the process)

Thank you in advance.
Most likely the rom will not boot on your current firmware. What rom is installed?
Option 1 is to restore a backup since you can access recovery.
Option 2 is to put the correct firmware on your SD using a PC, reinsert and let your phone update.

I don't think any rom is installed. It never got that far.
I first tried to update using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542192
However the update failed. After that the phone was just going into a reboot loop when I tried to start it up. I then tried to flash a new rom in the hopes it would fix whatever problem the first failure caused. I was following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
I was able to update the firmware from the linked page on that guide:
Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU
I then tried to flash the Android Revolution HD 6.5.2 rom. It failed and when i tried to reboot it just hangs as described above. I tried to use superwipe and it also fails. I am sure at this point it is obvious I am lost.
Option 1 is not an option as I don't have a backup.
Option 2 may be an option, but I apparently don't know what the correct firmware is.....
Thanks again for the help.
I went back into fastboot and then recovery and tried to use superwipe, but that failed.
Option 1 is a no go because I do not have a backup.
Use this firmware instead.. it's worked well for me no matter which ICS rom I've installed..
Firmware from 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU from http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1412618
Don't get it confused with the one you've already tried. Then after you flash that version of the firmware, remove it from sdcard and flash a rom. It's worked for me as it should for you as well.. Hope this helped.. I'm also assuming that you've Super CID your device....
if this helped, slap the thanks button... thanks

So still on stock rom, ie Gingerbread, since 2x flashes have failed?
If so, 3.12 is the correct firmware to get it to boot.

I was not able to boot normally after installing this firmware, but it did allow me to complete the superwipe. That was failing beforehand. Once I was able to wipe the phone I was then able to install a rom. The phone is back up and running now. Thanks again for the help. I appreciate you guys taking the time.

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.

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.

After succesfull update with 1.17 firmware and flash with old ruu this one.
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed
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.

Hi,
I just bought a second hand Sensation XE that is already rooted (checked with root checker), hboot says s-off (but bootloader is LOCKED), even the XDA market was on it (although in Chinese). I want to install the Revolution Rom, but the problem is that i've only ever done this once with my old Desire HD and at that time i started from a brand new unrooted phone, step by step until it was rooted,s-off,clockwork and rom installed etc. etc. Now that i don't need to start from the beginning, i don't actually have a clue where to start. I don't even remember how to check if clockwork mod is on it. Here's what i have in System info:
android version 2.3.5
HTC sense version 3.5
Software number xda_smallleizi_cn
When i look in the FAQs, i just get confused about where i'm up to. And with the risk of bricking, i'm not so willing to jump in anywhere.
Can someone give me some advice on where i should start?
If you're into going through the whole process from A to Z, you can use an RUU matching your device. It will turn the phone into stock and you could follow all the steps in the ARHD thread.
But.. since it seems the phone is rooted, i would continue from there. Install 4ext recovery, 3.33 kohr-ah firmware than flash ARHD 6.7.2.
See my signature for the links.

I would once your confident with flashing roms , try out several different roms and see which one suites your needs most . This is the fun part. Don't just limit yourself to one ROM . There are so many wonderful choices I highly suggest you try several before you make your choice on your daily Rom . Experiment a bit, you won't be sorry. Happy flashing ! Best wishes!

The key thing is S-OFF, try to make sure you keep this. That is the most important thing.
Have you got a custom recovery ? (CWM or 4EXT). If not get one I use CWM but old hat as most folks use 4EXT now. Then get used to the nandroid backups that they do. essentially a full backup/restore apart from firmware.
As someone else said try the various ROMs.
All the custom ROMs will have Superuser (root) enabled. The only decision is AOSP or Sense based.
Have fun, it'll cost bandwidth downloading the ROMs so do it where you have free LAN/WiFi

Bootloops occur when the firmware and the rom/kernel do not match.
From the edit, it looks like you have successfully flashed the 3.33 firmware. All that is left now is to flash a matching rom.
You could start with Android revolution HD, please find the link in my signature.
You might just have to flash it twice, if you do not have 4ext recovery installed (first flash will make sure 4ext is set, the other will utilize 4ext for a successful rom flashing).
Before flashing the rom, it is recommended to also perform a 'superwipe' which erases any leftovers from previous rom. Those might cause compatibility issues. The flashable superwipe zip can be found on the first post of ARHD.
One last thing, before any flash, make sure the zip was.downloaded.correctly. this can be achieved by comparing the MD5 signatures on the site, and one that you can compute on your device prior to flashing.
Happy flashing

I guess i jumped to conclusions too soon and assumed a bootloop was a really bad situation. I went into recovery and flashed ARHD and everything went very well.
