I recently got a brand new Inspire 4g. I rooted it using bubby's super one click root method. However, I am haveing some serious problems with ROM's. I can rarely get a flash to work. Android Revolution stuck on the white HTC screen for half an hour, Virtuous Unity stuck on the black HTC screen after the flash. The only ROM that has worked so far is LeeDr0ID. Does anyone have any explanation for this? Is it just my phone? Should i try re-rooting and s-off-ing with the attain hack kit or what?? Anyone have any ideas??
You may have bad internal flash ROM, but it's not likely. If it's consistent across many tries, then you may need to return the phone for replacement. Just make sure you wipe everything between flashes--or at least cache and dalvik-cache. You may want to try a "format system" from recovery, but most ROM cookers will ensure this gets done in their scripts.
As for re-running the root process, it's a waste of time, if your HBOOT shows S-OFF, then you're unlocked period. No amount of redoing this or that is going to change that.
hey guys,
i'm having a issue with flashing new ROMs. i am currently running android revolution HD 3.6.2. i was curious on trying a different roms and i tried to install insert coin 3.3.0 and clockwork said rom installed successfully after following the steps. but i get to a htc boot screen then the screen goes black then htc screen pops up again. i left the phone alone thinking it was just part of the first boot process. left the phone alone for 20 minutes still doing the same thing. so then i tried cm7, and got the same issue after following the sticky guide for cm7. i flashed back to hd and it booted fine. then i tried to use RUU to go back to stick, and the two tmobile versions up didnt work.
any suggestions? i am curious to try other roms.

Just kind of a basic step. If you go from one rpm to a completely different one your going to want to superwipe. Especially if they are different builds. You can flash an update like 3.6.1 to 3.6.2 but not ARHD to insertcoin. Try superwipe and flash a new Rom. Just make sure you make nand backup so you can always go back If something goes wrong.
Hi sensation forum...
I am new to sensation, but not new to android or HTC, as i have 4 different phones with custom firmware on them...
But the sensation give me a lot of problems for some reason...
I have tried ARHD 5.0.2 and Insert Coin 4.0.4, i have also tried Virtuous Inquisition v1.3.0 and HyperSensation CM7.1 v1.2.
The last one is not even ICS based...
All of them give me random reboot cycles...
I have tried 3 different radios also...
Nothing have helped me so far...
I still have a lot of random reboots...
(about every 2-10 min)
When i flash the firmware i use ARHD´s super delete script, but to be shure, i also format everything from within Recovery...
What more can i do here ??
Pleace,if your phone is stable, can you tell me exactly what rom/radio/kernal/ril you use...
My phone was rock stable with factory firmware....
Hey,
When installing roms on the sensation, make sure you follow the guides in the particular thread. It is also important to match recommended radios and rils that go with the specific rom. Make sure you are S-off and cid 11111111. When you are switching roms, you should only have to run the superwipe script, it will set all the partitions for you so that you can flash the rom you choose. Also, before you install ICS, it is recommended that you superwipe BEFORE installing the actual rom to prevent unwanted isssues. Before you do anything else, give me a rundown on what you are currently running.

I have exactly this issue.
I installed ICS Revolution. I had successfully got S-OFF, Installed ClockWork Recovery (updated to latest version), permanently Rooted & obtained SuperCID. I updated radio as recommnded by mike1986 in the ICS post, and wiped the phone with Revolution Super_wipe_Sensation first.
It seemed to run fine apart from Doplhin HD which refused to run properly (so switched to Opera Mobile). However I started to get random reboots.
After a bit I thought to try Insert Coin ICS instead.
I have noticed no real difference in performance and have the identical issue with Dophin HD (back to Opera mobile again).
However I also still have the identical random rebooting issue with this ROM. What else can I do?

As stated, I did that before installing Revloution's ICS. BUT I didn't do it before installing Insert Coin. Should I have?

I did that with Revolution as well as with Insert Coin this time around. Running the latest version
I'm having the same issue. Did a text book install of AHRD. Everything went super smoothly, but getting these reboots. I have tried to swipe everything, have the latest radio and recommended fw and keep getting these crashes. Not only it's driving me nuts but it makes the phone unuseable... I can't believe we're just 2 to have these problems... Isn't there some king of log we can pull to see what's causing the crash ?
---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------
I suspect it has to do with processor speed that's been tweaked in these roms, but can't seem to find a way to tune it back to stock on the ICS rom...
sorry for the late reply, been busy with holiday stuff.. anyhow, make sure you are NOT installing any mods that are not compatible with the current ICS build. I have had no problems switching between ARHD 3.6.10 and ICS 5.0.2. As long as you have s-off and CID 1111111, you should be good to go. When I changed up from 3.6.10 to ICS 5.0.2, I turned off my phone, went into bootloader, selected the option for recovery, then flashed the superwipe script. After it finished flashing that, it rebooted back into recovery. Following that, I went to install from zip, flashed the updated RUU, cleared cache and dalvik, then flashed ICS 5.0.1 and the 5.0.1 to 5.0.2 update. Everything installed smooth from there.

That's exactly what I did. Can't find anything different between your story and what's I did, up to when I switched to Insert Coin
I also don't think it's related to CPU speed. My phone is the XE model which ran at 1.5 Ghz on stock ROM and only did about 3 random reboots in 3 months; (now it's every couple of hours).

Good luck. Hope it helps. Let us know the outcome. My nandroid backup is corrupted so will need to do full wipe of my SD card and phone I think. Then add in a stock ROM

I'm still getting the reboot on the nand backup (OrangeFR), this sucks big time. Now I'm thinking it may be due to the fw I had to install to use AHRD (PG58IMG) and the new radio. This is where I'm lost. How can I return everything to standard ? If I understand well the ROM doesn't contain those files, they are separate ?
Was thinking that my random reboots were radio or firmware related.
Strange thing is mine have stopped, and all I did was reinstall revolution ICS 5.0.1 then upgrade to 5.0.2. Didn't even wipe first. So even my apps & settings all of which I had installed & configured since I had installed Insert Coin ICS, are all still there. Haven't had a reboot since.

I switched back to ARHD 3.6.9, did a factory reset+wipe, flashed radio 10.59 and all is fine, I'm somehow reluctant to try again...
I found a solution that worked for me... At last...
I am REALLY sorry that i didn´t answer here before, but i have been really bussy, and actually forgot all about it a few days....
NOW, i also thought that i had some CPU spped issue with the roms, becource i can actually get the same kind of reboot problems on my DHD when i run it over 1500 Mhz...
So i thought that i would lock my sensation to max 900 mhz, and then see what happens... NO change... Still random reboot... Strange...
I then installed a Android 2.3 rom, just to get my phone running again... STILL random reboots...
hmmm....
Now i was confused...
At last i tried to flash a different radio one more time...
I found a radio in some other sensation thread... Flashed it and now my phone works stable...
At least with Virtuos Inquisition 1.3.0... (Proberbly the 1.4.0 will also work, but i have not tried it yet...)
The Radio i had the problems with is the one from mike´s thread...
I actually don´t know why, as i have allways had great success with his roms and his releases on my DHD...
The Radio i use now is 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035-02_2...
But sorry, i can´t remember from what thread...
Ok, this is what i have discovered on this reboot issue...
I hope it make some sense, and that this perhaps can help other with the same problems...
Try turning your phone to recovery.Backup if you havent already....Wipe Data/Factory reset then turn the phone off....
Remove the back cover and the SDCARD.Turn the phone back on and see if it runs ok without the SDCARD, if it does reformat the sd using 4ext recovery and it will also align it.
I spoke too soon.
My phone didn't reboot for a day after I switched back to Revolution ICS 5.0.2 for about a day, then today it began doing random reboots every few minutes. I had not changed any software, just the area (which might have changed signal and frequency the cell tower uses). So I figured it was time to change firmware and radio.
I had previously (prior to installing custom ICS ROM) flashed the radio to 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 as recommended by Mike1986 in the Revolution HD ICS thread, and had HBoot 1.7.1111 on my device.
I then downloaded the firmware he posted on his thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
This has put the phone back to HBOOT 1.20.0000 and radio 11.15.3504.16_M
Now it's working well and no reboots yet.
Here's hoping.. time will tell.
No matter what radio or Rom combo I get random ass reboots
Super annoying. I did notice the battery goes from 100% to 10% during this reboot
I have calibrated battey. Wiped stats. I'm lost.
I have even tried a new battery. Wtf. Any ideas?
i cant even flash stock ruu I get a 171 error!!!!
Im gonna throw this phone at the f-ing wall in a min
if you flashed newest radio 11...x.x..., you have to have newest hboot also (1.20.. , i guess). otherwise, you will get random reboot. I had this issue before, and i just flashed order radio( i don't want to update hboot version). problem is solved

That's certainly consistent with my experience.
Since the changes I made as per my previous post, I've not had a single random reboot

I need help figuring out how to fix some of these problems on my htc sensation 4g, its rooted with the android revolution hd, has andriod version 4.0.3, sense 3.6 and, running 6.3.0 software. My question is, if possible,how i can fix the wifi, camera app, and bluetooth, it says error when i try connecting bluetooth and wifi, camera app is just blank black. anyway to solve this, any type of feedback is welcome. just dont go too harsh on me im new to this and want my problems fixed.
Well, you could try reflashing the rom. Download Mike's Super Wipe from the ARHD thread and super wipe before installing the rom. Then install, and you should be set. I'm on ARHD 6.3.0 and everything works fine.
Yea tried that a while ago and nothing happened, everything stayed the same
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App
You might need to install the right firmware package (different from the rom). Find the newest version from the link in the ARHD thread (i think 3.30) and install it. Also try reflashing the rom (don't forget to suprwipe) and if you use Titanium backup make sure to not restore system data, as it will cause problems when transferred among different roms.

Yea tried it this morning...no luck everything is still the same...camera has black screen and WiFi and Bluetooth have error over it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
You could try using an RUU to restore everything back to stock before reflashing. Also, use recovery to wipe (format) the partitions to ensure nothing is left when flashing. If everything works after running the RUU, then try reflashing (double check the guides to make sure you followed all the steps).
Don't forget to check all md5 checksums after downloading files, as occasionally they download incorrectly.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G running Android Revolution HD 6.3.0
ok, im not gonna lie, even though im new to all this, im a little precautious of what im going to do to my phone.. so can you please post some steps on how you are suggesting i should try fixing it, i dont want to do things all out of order and end up bricking my phone. it would really help if you would post some steps on how to do this so, i aoppreciate it alot.
If you want to go the route of restoring to stock (which I recommend), first you'll need to download an RUU from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
Find the one that matches the carrier/region of your phone. If you are unsure, post your CID and I can help you choose the right one. You can find your CID by searching the CID checker app in the market.
Don't forget to make a backup in recovery and backup any important data from your phone. The RUU completely resets and clears all data from your phone (excluding SD card).
Once it is downloaded, simply run the exe, plug your phone into the computer, and follow the instructions it gives you (all you have to do now is press next several times).
After this your phone will be completely reverted to stock. If you still have problems (very unlikely) then you need to send it in for warranty as it is most likely a hardware problem. If everything works, you can either stay on stock or reflash whichever ROM you want.
If you have any questions about the process, please post them and I'll post more detailed instructions.

Hi,
I've recently had to replace my phone with another SENSATION 4G (bought second-hand, but new). I was originally running an older version of ARHD Gingerbread on my old SENSATION 4G and it was working great. The new phone came with a stock GB, so I decided to go ahead and initiate the ICS OTA update for my phone, but somehow in the middle, it failed. So what happened is that I corrupted my stock ROM and at the same time never had a chance to make a Nandroid backup. I then downloaded ARHD 6.7 ICS and sucessfully installed the custom ROM (followed all procedures to make sure my firmware and radio is updated), BUT everytime I rebooted into first boot, the screen would freeze at the Beats Audio logo (even tried leaving it on for 30min). I then tried different Sense-based ROMs (Elegancia, Dark Forest, original ICS RRU etc) but every time, it would hang at the boot screen. I thought my phone was bricked, but to my surprise, I was able to install smaller AOSP & AOKP based ROMs, like CM9 and Touchcream 2.1, and successfully boot and use them. I really want to be able to use Revolution HD roms to take advantage of my wifi calling, but now just cannot. I'm not totally new to this, as I've just upgraded my sister's Sensation 4G with ARHD 6.7 w/o any problems. I still don't understand why this is happening to my particular phone. Please let me know if you may have a hint of what the problem could be (could the failed OTA ICS update the root of my problem?). Thanks all.
flash a ICS RUU and see
