First of all wrong place to post problem.
Secondly, it is clear that you dont know anything about hboot of your phone and the rom your donwloading....
Stock hboot only supports rom for stock hboot.
As you are new to this stuff, im assuming you are test driving HTC Sense roms, which almost always require a 2nd sd-card partition as sd-ext in ext2/3/4 format. Which you probably dont have, so your getting bootloops. No other reasons i can think of.
Go read about "sd-ext" and "hboots", or explain your problem and your phone config in more detail so i can help more.

Hi, XDA, i'm new and come here for roms and decided to try Virtuous Inquisition rom, so I flashed it and my phone wouldn't stop boot looping.. and I didn't make a backup so now i'm screwed, I've tried different roms but most of them bootloop except for cm 7.1 (which is total crap).. I just want 2.3.4 with htc sense and original factory state back and I cant find any Official firmware online... If somebody could help that'd be great =) It's like my second day with the phone :L..

Well I first rooted yesterday, i got S-off, then got clockwork mod recovery and then perma rooted using the zip file and gained access to super user etc.
Then I decided today that I want ics without sense, so i go to virtous or w/e his name is and put his download in my sd card wiped the cache and data etc and didn't back up, so installed his rom and rebooted my phone and it kept boot looping ...
and now i'm stuck with cm 7.1 which I don't like
I just want official 2.3.4 with sense back peacefully that'd be great
Did you install the required firmware?

Gotta have the correct hboot before flashing ics roms and supercid. To go back to stock find the sensation RUU.

You didn't mention if you SuperCID your phone or not. That is another required step .
Reply
I don't think there's a fully working 2.3.4 with htc sense rom online. You might have to use another rom.
if you want official rom go here
but if you want ics rom, first of all you have to flash correct firmware for the rom and only then flash rom.
All required info is in each rom thread.
I am having the same problem as OP but I have a back up. When installing Virtous Inquisition I get a boot loop and I have SuperCID.

the shipped pyramid rom collection doesn't have the rom that I need.

He told you in his post.
He was running the wrong firmware version - most of the ICS ROMs require the newest firmware versions. Which requires SuperCID.
If you don't have the correct firmware version installed -> Bootloop.
HTC Sensation Recovery Mode
I am trying to go in to Recovery Mode pressing Volume down + Power Button simultaneously and nothing happens.. The phone it's starting normally !
In my experience you have to keep hold of the volume down button and then press the power button for a few seconds, while you keep on holding volume down. That always works for me...
ThanksI fixed that thanks god!!! But now another problem starts.. i turn on the phone and restarts over and over after the green sign. I can't access recovery also. I tried to install a recovery putting this file: PG58IMG in to Memory card and then install but no success it does the same I can't access recovery at all. When i try to access it my phone restarts the same when i try to turn it on. If someone one know what to do please tell me...thank you
If you can't access the hboot screen via vol down+power, check that you don't have fast boot enabled. Settings -> power, uncheck fast boot if it is checked. That should help you get to hboot. You can also take your battery out to make the phone fully reboot. And when you don't need the PG58IMG file anymore, remove it from the sd card.
Ok first off...if you have s-off and your rooted.....you also need to flash the proper firmware.
the easiest way to do this is by following this thread verbatim
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
mentioned in this great thread is the following and I quote
"I really want to use the latest ICS! How do I go about doing this?
I get this PM'd to me a lot. The best way I have seen to do it is as shown (Thanks to PaulGiz)
1. Do some reading as this is a bit different and harder than a normal ROM flash.
2. Best way is to place Firmware PG58IMG.zip, ROM and Superwipe script on the root of your SD Card.
3. Shut down phone and remove SD card.
4. Boot phone to Bootloader (Power+Vol down).
5. Move selection to Recovery, but don't select yet.
6. Insert SD, then select Recovery.
7. Flash Superwipe (ARHD Superwipe will reboot when done, others may not) & then Flash ROM.
8. Power down, then boot to Bootloader. Select Fastboot. Say yes to upgrade.
9. Watch the flash. It will flash 3 or 4 things, then reboot to bootloader. Don't panic when screen goes dark. Bootloader will come back and it will finish flashing.
10. Now select reboot.
11. Wait (up to 10 minutes) for ROM to boot up.
12. Set up your phone and enjoy ICS!!!"
read the whole post all info is there...it's really easy.
Thanks to Kohr-Ah i'm enjoying ICS "no-sense"...and just loving my phone..
Hope this helps.
Hi all,
I have a problem with my Sensation due to my own fault.
I want to flash ARHD ICS rom to my phone, and I started with rooting my Sensation. I followed all instruction til installing the Recovery (PG58IMG).
I downloaded two versions of PG58IMG (one for ICS and one for the other), but I copied the firmware for ICS version to my SD card and already installed it. Now, my phone already S-off but cannot reboot into homescreen. It keeps rebooting it self in white hTC screen (after I installed the ICS firmware).
I don't know how to fix. I tried to read the troubleshoot in the post but I still cannot fix it. Does anyone have a solution??
Thanks in advance

If I understand you correctly you flashed the firmware upgrade BEFORE you flashed the new ICS rom? If so you'll need to get your sdcard card out (and get your computer to read it) so you can rename the PG85img on your sdcard so you can get back into recovery so you can flash the new ICS rom.

Yes, I flashed the upgraded firmware before not only I flashed ICS rom, but also I get rooted. Now, I can't flash any rom as well as su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip or su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip.
It still keep bootlooping. I tried to flash the other firmware, but it showed 'CID incorrect'. I don't know how to fix now
Did you check MD5 Sums before you flashed the ROM because it sounds like a bad download so re-download the ROM and reflash

I did check MD5 sums for all files I downloaded and it is corrected.
Now, I'm curious that whether it is possible to flash the upgraded firmware before being rooted.
And of course you need to be using the right version of the firmware for the rom you want to flash. Mike's latest uses 3.24 per here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
I don't know if you can get into fastboot or not, but you should be able to check the CID of your phone there, and download the right firmware for your phone. If your phone is carrier independent (i.e. didn't get on contract) then the HTC__xxx variety should be good.

Thank you so much for your link. I can boot my Sensation into the homescreen now. For my problem, I have to download and flash the older version (3.17) to fix it.
Thanks all of you for your reply again.
+1 for me, solve with a new download .
Just flash the Mod, the bootloop is normal.
I got the same problem, before i flashed Revolution Rom i used that radio package. After the radio package flash, my phone wass stuck in a bootloop.
I took the memory card out en removed the zip file en flashed the revolution rom. After that my phone started normal.
SOrry for the bad enlgish.
Good luck mate.
hey, guys i just had the same problem, kinda. lol
anyways my phone is rooted, s-off and superCID
when i went to install the new ics rom i did everything this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
said to do and when the new root booted up for the first time, it would go up to the beats audio logo,( the ics rom with beats audio (xe)) then like restart back to the htc startup logo, then beats again then htc again, it just kept doing this..??
so i just deleated everything and restored back to origional backup rom.
so what did i do wrong?
a bad download link/file? can u give me a good one?
thanks, any help is greatly appreciated as iam totally lost right now...
edit:
also do i even need this file (PG58IMG.zip.) to flash the ics rom if my phone is superCID ??? iam confused on that part.
nevermind, figured it out and got it work! the new ics is pretty sweet!!
thanks for everything- towards all the developers and testers on here
Cool. The answer is yes of course. The firmware file contains a specific radio / hboot / etc version. The ROM you download and install is dependent on certain combinations of the firmware versions you have. The super cid just allows you to flash any of the firmwares available here... Otherwise you have to find the specific one for your region and/or carrier.
Also, don't forget you can use an adb logcat while your phone is booting to see if you can diagnose any boot-looping issues. Just run that command on your PC with your phone attached via USB cable

To do so,
1. Download the correct firmware version ( PG58IMG.zip V3.24 ) and copy it to the root of your SDCARD.
Be 200% sure that the downloaded zip file is not corrupted. ( Check the MD5 checksum after you download)
2. Pull Back the battery and wait for a minute.
3. Put the battery and press POWER+VOLUME Down Key together.
4. Your phone will detect the firmware.
5. Follow the screen and complete the flashing.
6. Download the ICS based ROM of your favor.
7. Boot into recovery and flash your rom.

No you didn't do everything the thread said to do because you're stuck in a bootloop. And yes, you must have correct firmware to run any ICS ROM.
1. SuperCID.
2. Load correct firmware for ROM version you wish to flash (there are 3 different firmwares, 3.06, 3.12 and 3.24. Make sure you've got the right one.
Put PG58IMG.zip on the root of your damn SD card.
Put the ROM you want on the root of your damn SD card.
Put a wipe or superwipe script on the root of your damn SD card.
So far it's easy, no?
Boot to bootloader, select FASTBOOT, select yes to update.
Watch the phone. You should see it flash some partitions, reboot itself, then flash the radio and some other crap.
When done you should be at correct HBOOT and radio.
Now, pull the battery. Pull the SD card.
Insert the battery. Start the phone with power + Volume down.
Move cursor to recovery.
Insert SD card and select recovery.
Flash the wipe script, flash the ROM.
Now if you did everything exactly like this, you will boot to normal phone in about 10 minutes or so.
This has been spelled out 50 times in 50 threads, including threads devoted to nothing but this procedure.
Your phone is a machine. It can only do what you tell it to do. If you screw up, it's screwed up. If you do everything exactly right, in the right order, carefully checking each step, your phone will behave.
Try again.
Do it right. Do it carefully.

Hello guys,
I'm in face a problem with my desire bravo. When I want to boot it on miui, he stay on the bootscreen of miui but he don't started. At the begining, I've done all wipe, take some different versions of the rom. Then i've change my SD card. It doesn't work better So next, I've test CM7, and i think it's the strangest thing, it work... Now, i don't know what can I do. Some other information, if they can help you :

Thank you very much
PS: i'm french, sorry for fails
Are you using ClockworkMod Recovery? If so, try using ROM Manager to download and flash a MIUI ROM and see how you get on then.
Thank you ! With that, it runs perfect

htc desire s rooted s-on
i am not sure am i on the right page to get in contact with people that had came across this problem.the thing i cant get that is the custom roms that i make changes to and back up.when i try to go back to my stock rom by cwm wiping all data first before loading the rom that i backed up works great when step 2 i go into command promps and flash the hboot.img.here lies ther problem i have of trying to restore my original rom i have cwm backed up.i can see the boot.img but the phone only goes back into cwm again and again after i flashed the hboot.img.i am at a loss here please help.point me in the way how to sort this out as i have looked through all i can in Google to no avail.
So, I recently got an HTC Desire S with H-Boot version 2.00.0002 and thus I could not use Revolutionary Tool to root it. The alternative to HTCDev unlock would be to use RUUs to downgrade the H-Boot but I could not figure out which RUU to select in the list at shipped-roms. Thus I HTC Dev unlocked it thinking that the only problem would be having to flash the boot.img of the rom I install separately.
But when I flashed Cyanogen Mod 10 and flashed the file, the rom worked. I had to restart it but i found that no matter what rom i install, the phone always boots to the recovery! I tried it with multiple roms includind the Xperia rom, and roms based on CM. Then I tried the Virtuous rom with the same result. Then I tried the Saga3d rom and it rebooted sucessfully!!!
Thinking the problem was solved, I flashed the CM 10 JB rom I wanted again but it once again booted to recovery when I rebooted it. Seems like the only way I can make them reeboot is to flash the boot.img file again and again! A thread suggested flashing 4ext recovery but the same thing happened. I even tried to reflash the Saga3d rom but it didn't reboot this time!!!
So after careful but failed research, i created this question. Can anyone help me? I think a new RUU with an earlier (0.9*) H-Boot would help but I don't know how to pick one!!! I'll post some pics and hope anyone will suggest me an RUU or other solution.
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
(P.S I'm using a custom rom right now (reaper) cuz I don't know how to find the stock)
Anyone?

Hi,
Thanks for the response but the problem is I don't know which one of these RUUs to select. I can't seem to find where to look for what are their supported cidnums, or build number, or software number. Thats why I hoped a pro would help me select one. My cidnum is HTC_001.
Thanks again. :good:
