Hi,
Please follow THIS THREAD
Take the Rom.zip file that you have flashed and you will need to go to your pc or laptop and unzip it and then it will create a folder and then you will open that folder and scroll down and you will see a folder that will say kernel open it and you will see a file called boot.img you will copy it to the same folder that you have your adb and fastboot drivers in and then open up your cmd and type your commands to get your fastboot driver's working and then typ fastboot flash boot boot.IMG press enter and then type fastboot reboot and watch the magic

And to flash those rom's you have listed you will need to flash the correct firmware and you need to have s off first before you can flash ics rom's

i think youd bettery make your phone s-off.
The instuctions are in the first post I sent you oh about six post down read it the answer's are there

You want to have s-OFF not on.
Soff you will have more capability. So you will want to s off
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
can you please follow the extra 1 step ..from the link given by malybru(2nd or 3rd post i think) ..atleast you will come out of bootloop after that ..then you can try SOFF or whatever
I turned s off and I flashed ordroid v9 and it was stuck on the white HTC screen. It turned black for like three seconds then returned to the HTC boot screen.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Did you follow the thread that malybru linked to? I am on hboot 1.27 and s-on and I can flash every ICS rom out there that supports firmware 3.32-3.34, which is by far the most, if not all.
And thank you malybru for pointing me in the right direction.

what do you mean you turned s off? Did you follow the procedure to s off the device because s off is not a button you can turn off. It is a procedure to disable security. Once your s off you can flash without trouble. Please read the link provided to the procedure. If you are s off you should not have these issues.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Yes I followed the procedure and now I have s off. When I flashed ordroid it didn't even reach the beats audio boot screen as I said before it shows the.white HTC logo screen, turns black, then goes back to the HTC screen.

Are you supercid? Maybe try that if youre not yet

Did you use the correct 3.32 firmware? If
Not thats the issue. All ics roms must have 3.32 firmware.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
1. RUU back to latest stable, that way you have all of the proper bootloaders and radios.
2. Follow numerous guides in dev section about S-Off and flashing the correct firmware.
3. Flash recovery.
4. Flash rom of your choice.
Should get it all taken care of for you. Good luck! :cyclops:
Finally I got it to work on ordroid so I can tell the changes (volume,settings, etc) but when I go home it says loading then says 'unfortunately, HTC has stopped"
Then I return to my previous launcher. THIS ISN'T OVER

You would first have to extract the rom from the ruu file and then extract the hboot from that. Idk if it is in a flashable form tho...

Got to ask, why would you want to ?
Because I am trying to send the phone back to HTC. When I rooted the phone is used the revolutionary method. Now after installing the stock Ruu and thanks using the phone back to s-on it says locked in bright pink letters. After reading the forums it says i have to flash the stock hboot from the stock RUu
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
wouldn't just running your stock ruu flash everything back to how it was? hboot and all
I have tried that it did until I updated the ota then now it says locked in the pink lettering and the hboot is 1.7.000

Tried to s-off my wifes sensation but no good thru revolutionary.io ( Thanks to Telstra ****) so I used the htcdev method and unlocked bootloader with s-on. Using twrp recovery tried to flash a Ics Rom and got stuck in boot loop. Can someone please point me in the right direction, been searching post all night. Wifes not happy, using my old Hd2 today. Please help!!

You can't flash Rom with s-on you need to run ruu from pc to revert back to normal provide some more information about ur phone.

Is there a way to flash Rom similar to My EVO 3d with s-on ie, flash boot.IMG thru fastboot and then flash rom?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Revolutionary will definitely work with ur hboot you can see I have same hboot I got soff via revolutionary. There r chances u get error msg. Try to boot ur phone and pc reconnect it will work. Best thing I suggest get soff first rather then messing around.

I tried about 4 times with revolutionary do you think I might need to make a gold card to prevent it checking Cid?

I'm going to need to restore this sensation and unroot it before I send it back into HTC to take this dust out. How do I go about unrooting it and reseeting it to S-ON?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
You would need to download stock ruu and run it from your pc and when that's done you need to put it back to s on open your cmd typ your commands to get your fastboot drivers working and then typ fastboot write secure flag3 and this will put it back to s on that way they want see that it has been unlocked

Hey, that's easy, don't worry.
Follow this guide: http://tinyurl.com/RUUGuide
to find your right RUU & instructions on how to flash it.
You'll need to flash the RUU twice. (Hboot pre-update)

Hey.... how do i find out what firmware i am running? Phone came with gb, then ota to ics...... i ran virtually all major roms from the dev thread witout any issues and now running cm10 jellybean...
Is there a way of seeing the fw version?thx
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure there is no way to check fw version but to get a guesstimate when did you update to ics? If you updated within the past month or two most likely 3.33 if awhile ago them most likely 3.32 either one should be fine for most roms.

There is a way to check the firmware
From fastboot/bootloader
Type this command
fastboot getvar version-main
This would give your firmware

is the name proper? if its proper and didnt worked then we should go the other way
copy the PG58IMG.zip to the adb folder
then connect the phone from fastboot/bootloader and these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver HTC)
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (make sure the names are matching and ...ignore the green progress bar ..it wont complete)
fastboot reboot (rebooting as you are updated now )
Does anyone have the update file that works with the 4g no matter how much I change it it says can't open pg58img.zip

There is currently no way to s-off the HTC One S. Best you can do is bootloader unlock.
My phone is boot load unlocked but I tryed installing vemon ROM but when I install it and reboot it gets stuck on load up for some reason. But on install it says something about being (s-off) I don't understand what its asking for then :/
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Luckily you probably misnoticed that, no One S ROM needs S-Off to install AFAIK.
OK so why does it not boot up when I install the vemon rom? It shows blank black screen...

You need to flash the boot.img in fast boot.

Did what? Anyways this is a symptom of not flashing the boot.img properly. Do it using fastboot, there is a whole guide on doing this stickied in the development section.
Do like others have said, fastboot boot.img or try using TWRP recovery.
One of the rom threads has a boot.img script. Just replace the boot image on that script folder with yours and run the script.

Maybe it isn't the boot.img..maybe he chose full wipe in AROMA and it didn't flash. Try flashing by manually full wiping and then not full wiping in AROMA, then it should boot after you fastboot the boot.img.
