You need to do a lot of reading and research. I'm sure there are guides in your device's section which could help you. Is your device rooted? Do you have a custom recovery installed?

Follow the instructions to flash a custom recovery (there must be a guide in your device's section). That's the only way to flash this ROM.

should help.
Btw, you have posted in the wrong section
If shortly you need to:
1. S-off your phone
2. Flash custom recovery
3. Flash new ROM.
I just did all this recently and i assure you all information is present here if you search a little bit.

The hboot Version is a bit weird, does anyone know? Normally you download the latest version of the ROM.
And if you flash a new ROM, first wipe all data, and then flash the new ROM.

Hi,
You are on GB firmware.
You need to upgrade your firmware ,BEFORE you can install ICS or JB ROMS.
Look HERE
Read the thread very carefully.
Follow it to the letter.
Substitute whatever ROM you want in the process.
Although ARHD is a good place to start.

Hi,
If you have data you want to save,use Titanium Backup before you start anything.
The thread I linked you,gets you to install 4EXT recovery.
When you have upgraded to ICS/JB firmware,then,go into recovery/wipe/format all partitions except sd card.
This will wipe your phone clean,ready to install the new ROM.
You can then install the ROM of your choice.
The thread suggests ARHD ROM.
This is a good place to start.

what siyah kernel there is no siyah kernel for sensation... siyah i think is for samsung S2...
First tell me you are S-OFF or S-ON ,htc dev-unlocked or not !!
If you are htc dev unlocked no matter you are s-off or on ...just download this ICS rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 ) as this one is the best and purely stock and flash it in recovery...
If you get bootloops or stuck on htc screen after flashing it then tell me...
or if you already flashed bruce jellybean rom then what happened after flashing it..??

[Q] ROM's and Rooting

Hi This might be a question that has been answered already or no. I've been browsing through the site and ready on ROM's and stuff. I just wanted to ask how to identify if a Custom rom is stable already and if there is a way to know without trying the rom first. I am scared of rooting my phone because I am afraid that I might brick my phone and if so is there different ways or just a standard way to do like S-off/S-On and flashing a rom.
Phone: HTC Sensation
ROM: Stock ICS Rom 4.0.3

To identify the custom rom you need to flash it yourself and then judge it .But most of the JB rom like viperS/revelation especially Sense 5 is the latest and stable one ..
Also Before rooting and flashing custom rom you need to first Unlock bootloader and then flash recovery after that rooting and flashing roms..
No need to S-OFF , you will find it difficult (Wire Trick).
A great guide can be found HERE just skip the HBoot-S-OFF part and follow other instruction ..

Yes the guide is one time process.After that just download any Rom (VIPER or CM10 ) and then flash through recovery ..

Sorry for having such a lot of questions. Any particular Rom you would suggest. I just use basic stuff like gmail, txtplus app, and some games. A black based design would be perfect. Thanks in advance for the suggestion.

There are so many different HTC Sense devices available.

Hmm ... check this threads about Lollipop for your device: HTC One (M8) Lollipop Threads.
There are many custom Lollipop ROMs for your device, e.g. [ROM][28-1]SD v 33 |4.16.401.10|1st ANDROID 5.0+Sense Rom|SDkernel|SDHub|Best Batt..
And I found a stock rooted GPE ROM here: [ROM][5.0.1] 12/7/2014-Lollipop Stock Rooted Google Play Edition LXR22C.H5.
And here is a guide how to flash the GPE ROM: [GUIDE] [S-OFF] Update from Almost Anything to Official Developer Edition Lollipop.
Good luck !
thank for the help but do you know where i can find the official not custom flashable rom using custom recovery , i dont want any custom rom due to crashes

No, but you can ask in the [HELP THREAD] HTC One M8 - Ask any questions here!.
Maybe one of the experienced users having the same device like you can help.
Thread closed. Thank you.
