Hello all, got my HTC Sensation few hours ago! and im already stuck on a bootloop D: lol
So I found out it was hboot 1.18 (still had gingerbread), so I used the root method included in an AIO program.
Everything went fine, I'm s-off'd with 4ext recovery.
Then I wanted to do the superCID thing, but I flashed latest 3.33 universal firmware full from joaquinf thread first, and it never booted correctly, it restarted on the bootanimation always. So I tried flashing a the 100% stock deodexed rom of mike1986 and it also bootlooped.
So I came here to ask, cuz idk what to do now.
Thanks!
Once you upgrade the firmware file you need to DELETE the pg58img file off the root of your sd card or it will continue to update over and over when you go into bootloader. After you updated your firmware did you delete the file? Hope this helps.

Yes, I deleted the file with my computer. The thing is that im always stuck at the bootanimation and it restarts.
Are you trying a gingerbread rom with that fw? If so that's your problem and flash a ics rom and your done.
If that doesent work try flashing something like cm9/10 or touch cream.

To go back to stock rom, you need a so called RUU file, which is an .exe file to be run from Windows with phone connected.

Anyone have the slightest clue as to why when I load up a custom ROM all it does is go into a bootloop? I tried elglicas and vritious both with the same result. I've set my cid and flashed my ROM...

If they are the latest ICS ROMs you need a firmware upgrade also - or else the ROM will bootloop on load....read the instructions, etc in the ROMs post very carefully...
I meant I had flashed the firmware not the ROM but I had tried the lastest version of both englica and vritious

Flashing a firmware is not like flashing a Rom. While Rom is flashed via recovery and can be any zip file, fw is flashed via hboot nd it should be a file PG58IMG.zip in the root of your sd card.
I did not understand the 'correctness' part. Make sure the md5 is correct? That they match?

AFAIK if you have 3.32 it's not a must to move up to 3.33. Its mainly a radio update which you can manually do yourself, if you wish, and it comes with a new hboot 1.29 (which is still locked, but should not bother most users)
So If you're on 3.32 Roms would play nicely with it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
So I don't need firmware 3.33 to run arhd 6.7.0 and vipers1.0.1?so basically people ate only updating to 3.33 firmware is to change there radio,rils?I just don't understand the reason why some people are updating to firemware 3.33. Thanks!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
You dont have to (arhd 6.7.0 and venom 1.01 will work w/o 3.33) but its recommended.

No you don't flash like a Rom, remember I told you how to do it in a pm? Just follow those instructions please. If you get confused take a look at the instructions again. Or check the pm answer I've given. Hope this helps!

Good day to All,
I Need Help.
Intro,
My Phone is Sensation 4G S-Off, HBoot 1.27.110, Firmware 3.33 Universal.
Rom being Used is ViperS 1.41.
What Happened,
I was flashing a different kernel (that I used before multiple times) and my problem started,
The Problem,
The Phone starts, HTC Logo (behind a white background) and after less than a minute it shuts down.
I can access 4EXT Recovery normally after seeing a notification message stating ("A pending update to your boot partition has been detected") and after I click through it I can access 4EXT normally.
What did I do,
Tried flashing multiple kernels, Multiple Roms, restored Multiple Backups and still the same thing. HTC Logo and it shuts down, and if the phone is plugged in to the power it will keep boot looping.
I would highly appreciate some input as I can't use my phone what so ever.
Turn SmartFlash off as you have no need of it (you are S-OFF)

Try running an RUU
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
Same setup as OP
S-off' hboot- 1.27
After flashing a kernel, and selecting reboot now, a message appeared about pending update detected. After reboot, will not pass HTC logo.
I've tried different kernel, roms, and backups, and still nothing.
This happened after flashing Sultan-kernel rc4 1512ghz. My phone booted before at higher ghz so I don't believe that's the issue.
Edit: Flashed different ruu, now hboot 1.29 s-off, still same issue.
Thanks for any help possible.

I'm using 4ext. The problem started after i received the prompt for pending update for booting (smart flash). When I boot into recovery I have to disable smart flash even though I'm s-off.

yeah i saw your posts in 4ext recovery thread
glad for you man:good:
Whenever I had this problem happen to me I flashed the boot.img file from the ROM I was using through fastboot then everything worked. Might save you some time next time something like this happens (happened to me a lot when I was S-on using 4ext) because you won't have to wipe everything and reinstall your ROM.
My wife's phone has the GB firmware from the firmware thread as well with matching rail. Phone was on elegancia GB but would heat up with custom kernel. Switched to Rc mix now.
On both ROMs after waking up in the morning the phone screen won't light up and the green led is on even unplugged. Phone won't turn on unless u do a battery pull and then the battery is completely dead with the red line through the battery. There is no app to control frequency
Can't figure it out

why still on GB? if a ROM acts up, change it.
Well it doesn't seem to be a problem with the rom as it happened with 2 gb sense roms but didn't happen on cm7
Anything other than gb causes the phone to random reboot

Did you upgrade your firmware before flashing any ICS ROM?
You must upgrade your firmware before flashing any ICS ROM, otherwise you will face random reboots..
What's the current status of the phone?
S-Off or S-On?? Bootloader locked or unlocked ??

Yes I know about the firmware update I have done that before flashing any ice rom 3.32 and 3.33
The reboots actually started before the phone was ever rooted when it was on the ota update of ics. So I rooted the phone with no improvement tried numerous roms, rils, and firmwares. Then s off with no fix until going back to gb.
I just flashed sensation XE mod 007 Tom yesterday and all seems to be fine now just gonna leave it like that since its not my phone its my wife's and she is just happy to have phone that works right
Phone has revolutionary hboot s off
