Hi there
first of all i know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
So i am completly new here and i tried to root and flash a custom rom accordng to the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and here (in german: http://www.pocketpc.ch/htc-sensatio...s-off-flashen-custom-rom-fuers-sensation.html)
however i did not work properly...
My Phone: HTC Sensation with Branded Android 2.3.4 (Provider Swisscom; Switzerland)
here is what i did:
1.) I unlocked the Bootloader with the official HTCDev tool (http://htcdev.com/)
2.) i S-OFF'ed my phone accordng to:
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit http://revolutionary.io/
however, the CMD showed me a "Failure, Live gave you lemons"
i think it was only concening the installation of the clockwork... (???)
3.) i did the CID stuff "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" (afterwards getcid gave me "fastboot getvar cid" 11111111
4.) the i flashed the firmwareupdate from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
(this one : "Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU" since i had id 111111111)
5.) the i tried flashing Adroid Revolution HD 6.x (after superwipe) from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4
but after rebooting, the phone froze in the white HTC screen for about 20 min or so
6.) superwipe again, and then i flashed Revolution HD 4.1.7 which is working now
my phone sais now: Android Version 2.3.5
HTC Sense: Version 3.5
Software number: Android Revolution HD 4.1.7 by mike1986
and if i enter recovery mode on statup it sais:
*****unlocked*****
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.20.0000
RADIO-11.15.3504.16_M
eMMc-boot
and if i enter recovery, this 4ext touch recovery tool (1.0.0.3 Beta 7) starts
i dont know if i have done it correctly or if i made a complete mess!
i really would like to install the Android Revolution HD 6.0.3 rom but as i said, the phone gets stuck at startup (or do i have to wait longer than 30 min on the HTC screen?!)
can annyone of you pro's see where the mistake was done? or what i have to change, to make the new rom working?
THX so Much
sincerely

You flashed the wrong firmware for the 6.0.x rom you need to have the 1.23 hboot. Look in the ARHD thread and download the correct firmware for 6.0.3.
Link to firmware: http://tinyurl.com/creec9g
thx... actually i think i have tried both firmwares you can download at the URL you mentioned.. but i think i will try again
could it be anything else?
THX
download again the firmware, check MD5 sum and try to flash firmware again. also update your 4ext beta 8
how do i update ext4 ?
THX
there are two ways. Either you can flash 6.03 again, then you should have beta 8, or find in market "4ext uploader"
thx
there is one problem though...
if i go to cmd-> adb devies, i obly get the answer "List of Devices Attached" but no devie is listed....waht can i do?

Hmm pickle indeed, whats your hboot is it still the same? or does it say something different after flashing new firmware?
if it says 1.20/1.23 you should be able to boot any gingerbread rom and older ICS Leaks,
if you want to boot 6.1.x or insertcoins 4.4.x or any variant of those roms that use the newset ICS leak your gonna need to flash latest firmware which has hboot 1.27
I would download the rom again, I had a few bad downloads before that made my phone not boot up. Oh and his roms take a while to boot just be patient
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
When he has no Android on his phone, he, isn't be able to flash, isn't he?
Somewhere I saw a posting with a describtion how from WM to Android. I thought I saw it in the ARHD 6.1.0 thread somewhere on page 4790 or so, it's a very huge thread, so start backwards to read is my suggestion
ok, i have 2.3.5 running again...
what have i to do nex? update teh HBOOT and Firmwaren? and then update the 6.1.x ?
THX
so ok i have 2.3.5 running again...
whta do i need to do next to get 6.1.x running?
update the HBOOT and i am good to go? i dont exactly know wat ENG S-OFF is, but do i need it?
THX
ok, when i start my sensation up in recovery mode it says:
Unlocked
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT1.23.000
Radio-11.19.3504.29_2
OpenADSP-v01.6.0.2226.00.1227
eMMC-boot
so what is the next thing to do?
flash HBOOT 1.27 with "debugging enabled"
do i need new firmware/radio ?
BIG THX
SO...i tried it again with USB DEBUGGING activated...
i downloadede the radio ( 11.68.3504.00U_11.21.3504.13_2 ) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=4
but when i start this adb tool and try to install the radio it starts the phone in recovery/fastboot (as it shoud) but when i continue with "fastboot flash radio radio.img" it says:
sending "radio" .....OKAY
writing raidio....FAILED (remote: not allowed)
what is wrong?
Hi, i have downloaded and flashed firmware 3.24 fine and now it says
Revolutionary
Pyramid pvt ship s-off rl
Hboot-1.27.1100
Radio-11.21.3504. 13_2
openADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0104
eMMC-boot
so i am guessing i have the correct HBOOT for 4.03/3.6 roms yeah?
problem is no matter what rom i try and flash [last one was Insert coin] after it tells me it has flashed and i reboot my phone i just get a bootloop..
I've always wiped my phone using 4ext full wipe and then proceeded to flash the rom am i installing the wrong firmware ? i am also superCID.
Any help will be appreciated, all i want to do is try ICS on my Sensation lol
Remove the firmware zip from your sd card.
Instead of using the full wipe try out the Super Wipe Script as written below.
Probably you find here a solution.
And on 4ext Recovery you have 2 suggestions on flashing a new rom:
TMOUS and KERNEL (latest could cause some problems)
I dont know what you have XE or non-XE.
With XE you should choose the 1,2 GHz Kernel.

I'm having the exact same problem. I just went back to regular Gingerbread bootloader with this to get my phone to work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20681060&postcount=22
I'm pretty sure this has been answered a million times, but I apparently never learned much about the firmware part of this . I rooted my phone a long time ago when Revolutionary first came out.
I probably missed something along the way and not sure what I did wrong. I even tried the other firmware 3.12 with the hope I could get it to boot. No luck.

Were you trying to flash ICS ROMS or GB ROMS, you can't run GB on 1.27 h boot. H Boot 1.23 can run both GB and ICS. What were you trying to flash?
Have you read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
After you flash the firmware for ICS you have to delete the PG58IMG.zip from your sd card. Then flash the ICS ROM.

I was trying to install InsertCoin (Latest). I updated the firmware and removed the file so I could boot into recovery again and install the ROM.
I Did a super wipe even though it appears you can do this with the ROM itself. I got the bootloop and read somewhere that I might need to install 3.12 firmware so I tried this and the boot screen just stayed on and wouldn't boot into the ROM so I could set everything up.
I tried reinstalling the firmware and rewiping and installing the ROM a few times with no success.
I just switched back to the gingerbread firmware to get my phone working again.
I must be doing something wrong, but it's the middle of my semester and I'm really trying to make this as painless as possible. I don't have time to be up working on this stuff all night long.
---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------
I tried ARHD ICS ROM and installed the firmware and it worked like a champ!
My download of Insertcoin must have been corrupted. The links on their page are all messed up.
Thanks for your help
Lately I have some problems with installing the latest firmwares for the Sensation. Both 3.24 as 3.30 firmwares cause a bootloop, but the 3.12 firmware is just working fine.
My flashing procedure:
1. Super wipe
2. Install Firmware
3. Super wipe
4. Install ROM
5. Wipe dalvik + cache
6. Fix Permissions
This all causes a bootloop. Also tried to install the ROM first and then the firmware. (without super wipe in between of course)
Things I've tried
- My cid was HTC__E11 and changed it to 11111111 (and back again now)
- Tried booting without sd-card and without sim-card
- Making a PG58IMG.zip with an old HBOOT
-Tried both Mike1986.'s firmware as the noob friendly from Kohr-Ah
More people having these probs and do any of you have new ideas?
The only thing that can in my mind, was to stick with the 3.12 roms untill the official release comes form HTC. Unroot etc to get the official update and check if my phone will work. If not, send it to HTC Repair centre.
Which ROM are you trying to install? You try updating firmware to latest 3.30 and install latest Insertcoin, works for me.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
all you have to do is:
download the 3.30 fw
put the PG58IMG in your sd card root folder
go into hboot screen and flash it (you have to be superCID) reboot+vol down
now delete PG58IMG from your sd card and reboot in recovery
wipe all and flash your rom
enjoy
If you had bootloop eariler with V3.24 firmware , you will still have bootloop with V3.30 firmware as the HBOOT is same in both v3.30 and V3.24 .
Stick to V3.12 till HTC release a newer HBOOT in near future . Till now there is no logical reason why it is happening with a very few users.
I've had the same problem all day with this. I flashed the recommended 3.3.0 f/w this morning and couldn't for the life of my work out why i was getting bootloops.
Luckily I came across this by chance, saved hours of tearing my hair out thanks

I've tried, ARHD, InsertCoin, HyperNonSense, Open Sensation CM9, Virtuos Inquisition. It's not the Rom that's causing the bootloop. It's the firmware that's causing it.. Most roms do work with he 3.12 firmware.
Think I'll stick to musarraf172 his advice and stay on 3.12 till a new hboot comes out. Or maybe if someone else finds a solution for this.
FINALLY a post that I can reply on (forum rules I'm new @ develpers section)
I have the same problem as you I get bootloop with 3.24 and 3.30
3.12 runs fine, my question is, can I install mike's new ROM 6.3.0 XE
with the 3.12 or will I screw up my phone (I really don't know much about this sorry if it's a stupid question )
P.S: the 3.12 fw bootloader says LOCKED on it, doesn't let me to flash radio, so I'm currently stuck with a piece of metal, any help?
thanks

no you can't...you need at least 3.24 fw
where can I get some other firmware (unlocked one) which will work with mike's rom Android Revolution 3.6.13 (and the radio on his post)
on his post it sayd "thanks to HTC for base firmware" where can I get that?
Thanks

You might be wrong here.
@ guy asking question. Just install the rom with 3.12 fw, as mussy said, there are a few people that get bootloops with latest fw but run ok on 3.12. Also, you can always take 3.30 fw, remove hboot.img from it, and just update radio and other partitions but leave hboot intact. That might work.

You can run ARHD 6.3.0 with V3.12 firmware. Some users already confirmed this.
Locked HBOOT does not allow to flash radio, splash via fastboot. But You can easily flash radio, splash etc by PG58IMG.zip method.
bootloop fix?
Hey again,
just figured out why I got the bootloops with the 3.30 and 3.24
The reason is very simple : I tried to flash them without flashing to the new ROM
The old ROM I had just happened to work with the 3.12 but with the 3.24/3.30 it went to the bootloops.
Here's the guide that helped me with this issue (now I have the 3.30 and the 6.3.0XE ARHD ROM) :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
Thanks to erraggy for giving me this link to the great guide
P.S : If you have some cooked UOT file you made with SystemUI.apk & framework-res.apk , DO NOT flash them after flashing the ROM , your phone will be stuck @ the first boot for hours. I know it sounds stupid, but hey, I'm new at this and if it helps others do be it
btw, great ROM

I tried doing this and still cant upgrade to 3.24 or 3.30 fw. I did super wipe, flashed fw 3.30 and then flashed ROM but still get boot loops. I think some phones cant upgrade?

Did V3.24 work on your phone ? If not , then V3.30 will also not work. You can flash v3.12 and install ARHD 6.3.0 . They will work together. If you still want to flash V3.30 , then replace the HBOOT 1.27.1100 in V3.30 with the HBOOT in V3.12.

Fw 3.24 didn't work for me either. I am currently using the 3.30 file with the hboot from 3.12 on Elegancia Rom. Its just strange that there are a few phones that can't boot with the 1.27 bootloader.

Currently Im on Hboot 1.27 and the stock rom is booting up without any problems!

Thats great. The official untouched HBOOT 1.27 solved the issue.
Just curious . Does it show "locked" in bootloader screen ??
If so that menas the fastboot extended commands are disabled.
Just check it.

Can you test the following command to flash a new splash .
fastboot flash splash1 splash1.img
You can download some beautiful splash from here. Open the flashable zip and find the splash1.img inside the etc folder.
I rooted my phone, i got my first rom... it worked well... then I decided to update the firmware and hboot to 1.27.1100 in order to get the ICS... i didn't do the CID or anything... when i flashed the rom... (Android Revolutionary 6.6.4)... when it was done, it would stay on this Android logo... it would just stay there for hours. So I decided to go back to the old (Android Revolutionary HD android 2.3.4)... but it would just keep on getting in a bootloop... please how do I fix this? i tried doing a wipe... still doesn't work... I read somewhere that in order to do this i have to downgrade back to 1.17 hboot... how do I downgrade? If i could avoid downgrading and get ICS to work what else should I do? please help me!
you cannot go back to GB from a 1.27 hboot, if your s-off you can just downgrade your hboot to 1.23 or below. I think you also have to downgrade your firmware...tht stuff is all posted here somewhere
fyi: hboot 1.23 supports GB roms and ICS roms
What firmware did you install?
Try This
Boot into recovery
Superwipe
Flash firmware for ARHD 6.6.4 (I believe it includes the proper hboot)
Flash ARDH again
I had a similar problem. After flashing ARHD, for some reason I was no longer Revolutionary s-off, so I tried flashing an engineering bootloader, which worked, but I ended up with a bootloop (the logo you're talking about that doesn't go away). I followed the steps above and was fine. Hope that helps.
Hey,
I'm running on OrDroind 8.0.1 with Sense 4.0
I tried wiping it, and installing Elegancia ICS Sense 3.6 from EXT4 Recovery.
The device boots and gets stuck on the first HTC green logo. After 15min I took out the battery..
I tried also installing ADHD 6.6.5 by mike, and I got the same problem..
Then I installed OrDroid rom again, and device booted normally.
What can be the problem??
Thanks in advance

Hi,
You could try reflashing the 3.32 firmware,and then the 3.6 ROM.
Are you s-off or hboot unlocked? Did you have to flash your boot.img with fastboot when installing ordroid?
check your roms md5 values. maybe you downloaded wrong. also try another recovery to wipe all data vs. sometimes recoveries causes these type of errors.

Wiping is not efficient. Format all partitions before switching between ROMs with different sense versions. You cannot switch from Sense 4.0 to Sense 3.6 by just wiping cache & dalvik
My device is unlocked, but not s-off.
I've tried wiping with Mike's script, still got the same results. I unlocked my phone with HTC site, I got boot 1.27.00..
How can I update the correct firmware? I tried few but it doesn't seem to work

No, I didnt need to install it with fastboot, I used ext4 recovery

You are on the correct firmware (3.32 base) because your Hboot is 1.27.
Now if you want to stay S On, follow this guide to turn on smart flash & re-flash your ROM. Remember to format all partitions except SD Card before flashing.
Flash the Radio that is recommended by the developer of the Rom you want to flash. Such a situation usually occurs when an incompatible Radio is flashed on your phone. Flashing the correct Radio works for me when I get stuck in such a situation.

I can't flash radio, I've tried few times but it's impossible if your phone is S-ON.
The thing is, I had ran on this phone ARHD before. then I installed OrDroid on it, and now when i'm trying to install Elegancia or ARHD (Sense 3.6) my phone just freeze at the HTC green bootmenu.
When I installed OrDroid again, it worked. Now i'm gonna figure out which firmware i'm running on, and i'll post here the results. (gotta install java, android-sdk..)
hxxp://i49.tinypic.com/35bc8yc.jpg (I'm not allowed to post links, sorry for posting it that way)
I've version-main: 3.32.531.14
bootloader: 1.27.0000
cidnum: T-MOB010
platform: HBOOT-8260
modelid: PG5810000
I checked Elegancia ROM is built on:
Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) - latest official HTC RUU 3.32.531.14 (U.S. T-Mobile)
That's what I have.. according to the fastboot output. What else can cause the phone get stuck then? Or maybe I do need to install different firmware or boot?

I can't flash radio, I've tried few times but it's impossible if your phone is S-ON.
The thing is, I had ran on this phone ARHD before. then I installed OrDroid on it, and now when i'm trying to install Elegancia or ARHD (Sense 3.6) my phone just freeze at the HTC green bootmenu.
When I installed OrDroid again, it worked. Now i'm gonna figure out which firmware i'm running on, and i'll post here the results. (gotta install java, android-sdk..)

I'll repeat this once more, you need 4ext with smart flash enabled & reflash the ROM because you have S On and you cannot flash the boot.img normally.
Also, you will need to format all partitions except SD Card because you are moving from sense 4 to 3.6.
If you want to follow this, the guide is in my previous post. If not, I wish you all the very best of luck with whatever other method you choose.

I've version-main: 3.32.531.14
bootloader: 1.27.0000
cidnum: T-MOB010
platform: HBOOT-8260
modelid: PG5810000
I checked Elegancia ROM is built on:
Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) - latest official HTC RUU 3.32.531.14 (U.S. T-Mobile)
That's what I have.. according to the fastboot output. What else can cause the phone get stuck then? Or maybe I do need to install different firmware or boot?
Big thanks to all of you.

did you enabled smart flash on 4EXT recovery ? (4EXT->tools->enable smart flash)
if so that is only temporary...i.e. enabling smart flash only lasts for that session..and once you reboot and go back to recovery you will lose smart flash
so for smartflash to work properly...you need to enable the smartflash just before flashing the rom..then flash the rom..and then everything should work fine
TIP: to have smart flash permanently enabled..buy the 4EXT recovery app or get the recovery updater app..and install the lastest version /same version you have again via app..and when asked for SON status while installing...say yes...and that would enable smartflash permanently
Thank you for your replies guys,
I'm gonna try do it with the Smart option. I thought it's on always.
thank you guys!! it works now! I feel so stupid for thinking it's always on.. that caused me so much troubles yesterday..
now it all up and works
