how long to wait

i have flashed my sensation, with Pyramid3D_v8.2.0_XE. xl VipeR lx says be patient in his post it take a long time. ive been waiting almost 3 hrs now. how long do i wait and what can i do.
I was waiting for it to finnish loading the rom. S-off and Clockwork, went fine. I used Clockwork to load Pyramid3D_v8.2.0_XE.zip, that part went good also. But, after reboot, it got to the white screen with the green HTC and thats where it stoped. I ended doing a restore of my original rom, till i could get some help.

You'll need to supply more information as to what your problem is. What have you been waiting 3 hours for?

Did you do a full wipe before you flashed pyramid3d? Going from one rom to another without a fully wiping can have an effect on the rom. If you did then once you reply to this you will have enough posts to go onto the pyramid3d thread and find better answers from the people with experience.

no, i didnt do one. But i just got done doing it and it went fast.. big thanks

Just so you know, if any ROM takes more than 10 minutes during it's initial boot, something definitely went wrong.

[Q] Can't get Sense 4.xx on s-on unlocked

Hi all, i finally got the phone back up and running with elegancia Pegasus....but I am trying to get Sense 4.xx on it with Elegancia, but when i install the rom(super wipe as well) I get stuck on the elegancia splash screen, I let it run for like 20 minutes, but still nothing...I am on 1.27hboot, unlocked, s-on..i used ext4 smart flash setting too, can someone enlighten me..Im missing something here, i just dont know what...TIA...Dirtylarry..
P.S maybe this has somekthing to do with CID?...my CID is TMO010

try restarting it,... i mean when it is stuck for 30 mins,... just remove battery and put it back in,... power on again,... this works most of the time,...

Very weird problem with my newly-purchased HTC Sensation 4G

Hello guys, I've been having unusual problems with my recently purchased 2nd HTC Sensation 4g (it was supposedly brand new). I already have one HTC Sensation 4g running on Revolution HD for almost a year and regularly update it. Anyways, onto my issue with my new HTC Sensation...After I attempted to put on a new 3.33 firmware and the RevolutionHD 6.7.2 ROM, I was unable to boot it (stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant screen). I then tried to put on the latest T-Mobile RUU and again, it got stuck at the boot screen. I then superwiped again and repeatedly try out a bunch of the complete big ROMs (OrDroid 9.0, Elegancia Pegasus, etc) without any success. I was about to give up and figured my phone is bricked, but then decided to try out the more simple CM9 ROMs (Extreme Sensation Power-2) and was shocked it was able to boot and fully function! I then tried out similar ROMs and currently running Infinity's TouchCream 2.1.
I would appreciate if anyone have experienced similar issues and could give me some advice on how I could address it. I will have to do more experimenting to find out what's being going on. I have a feeling it could be a much more complicated problem than just simply mismatched/outdated ROM or Firmware. The reason why is because my 1st HTC Sensation (the control) was tested using the exact same configs without one single hiccup.

Reflash the newest firmware and then ARHD

I assume you are s-off with the latest 4EXT. If not, do that first.
I would download the latest 3.33 universal package: http://d-h.st/bCV, along with the latest ARHD 6.7.2: http://goo.gl/QDuTC
Run the firmware update through HBOOT (place PG58IMG.zip on root of the SD card, VOL DOWN + POWER, accept update), and then reboot into recovery.
4EXT should warn you that it is in safe mode due to a change in your HBOOT/partitions (if not, reboot recovery again, and if still not, you were already on 3.33 with revolutionary HBOOT ), so do a format of all partitions except SD card.
From there, reboot recovery again, and do a full wipe again to be safe, and install ARHD. Leave it for 5m to boot, should work.

Thanks for the advices guys. Unfortunately, none of the methods changed any of the results of my 2nd Sensation. It would still not boot the bigger ARHD or Elengancia ROMs (what appears to be Sense ROMs). However, it boots on CM9 ROMs (like TouchCream or Extreme Sensation). I have an identical phone that's a little older, which I've used as the "control" in my experiment. I've been using pretty much the exact same files and steps that you've mentioned, but my 2nd Sensation wouldn't go past the boot screen, even after 30m of waiting (meanwhile, my 1st Sensation has already finished its first boot within 5m). This happens every single time...frustrating! Please note that my 1st Sensation is also going through the exact same steps, just so I can eliminate obvious software or user errors. Anyways, I'm pretty happy at least I'm able to run TouchCream2.1 on this phone and enjoy pretty much all the functions that the HTC Sensation has to offer after I install the suitable apps & widgets. Thanks again!

Touchscreen stopped working on CM but works on Stock

Hi guys,
I am having a strange problem. I was runing stable CM9 on HTC Sensastion, and yesterday screen just stoped to response to touches. I can wake the phone on button but can not unlock it. After a whole day wiping, doing factory reset, etc, i flashed RUU for it, and screen was working with stock ROM. Looking at HTC Sense I reminded myself why I flashed CM9 in the first place, so Iflashed it again this time CM9.1 stable. Screen issue came back. Then I flashed Bruces CM10 and the issue is still there. ta ****?! Phone is fully functional, exceptit doesn't respond to touches. I can't it 100% doesn't response, because there are some situations (1 of 10) whenunlock animation starts but then freeze. Also, screen is fully functional in 4EXT Recovery.
I did JPBear S-Off
4ext recovery
1.27111 HBoot
flashed cm9.1 and cm10(bruce) over 3.33 ruu
Any sugestions? Thank you for any kind of help!

Ask in the questions and answers section

I am sorry for not putting the thread in right place. I'm preety new/noob.

It's not working with Venom also..
I'm gona flash RUU again...

Instalation through Recovery was smooth, without any problems. When instaling Venom screen is used for selecting options. It worked well there. But when phone boots up, and I touch to unlock, ring moves a bit and freezes. Capacitive buttons are not working also
I'm gona flash RUU again...

I can't believe..screen is working in Stok ROM. Ugliest **** on planet...ghrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Guys..any ideas?

After whole bunch of flashes, I managed it to work somehow with ViperS. After that I flashed CM10, it worked whole day, but same thing in the morning. No response.
One thing that I noticed is that when I format partitions using 4EXT, and looked into info, amount of Size and Free are mismatching, like there is some data on partitions!? Maybe problematic files are in there..Like the partitions are not formated.

Need help - any suggestions welcome!!!

Hi there,
I hope someone out there can help me fix my wife's sensation XE. We both have the same phone and generally the same ROM with no issues, but here's where we are now (apologies for length)
Background
A couple of months ago, she was running Viper 1.5.2. No issues, happy days
One day the screen just stopped responding while she was using either the official Facebook app or the stock browser (she can't remember which). She could wake the phone up but could not unlock it. The screen was perfectly responsive in recovery (4ext) so the problem was only apparent when the ROM was booted up.
I downloaded the latest version of Viper (as a more recent version had been released), fully wiped with superwipe.zip and flashed it.
Strangely, after flashing this, Aroma gave the option to reboot (as usual) and I selected yes, which then led to 'installation failed/installation aborted'. I then had to fully wipe again, flash the ROM again and say no to rebooting through Aroma, so I could manually reboot - which worked fine.
Unfortunately, the same problem with the screen was there right from the beginning as soon as the new version of Viper was booted up.
.
I went back to recovery and manually wiped data/cache/dalvik, as well as formatted system and boot, flashed the ROM again and it was still the same!!
I then fully formatted her SD card using Gparted and reflashed Viper, but it was still the same!!
I then went back to recovery, fully wiped everything again and flashed a different ROM (Elegancia 3.6.0 - sense 3.6) which worked fine straight away once it was booted up.
This seemed to clearly show that something about Viper ROMs had led to this.
Since then, I have flashed some other ROMs for her:
Elegancia 3.7.0 - worked fine
Viper 1.6.0 - screen locked up from the outset
Hypernonsense - worked fine
NB - Every time I flash any ROM, if the reboot option is selected in Aroma, the installation still fails. I have never, ever had this happen on my XE and I flash new ROMs all the time, from sense 3.6 to sense 4.x to MIUI.
The current problem
The problem is that her phone, is generally laggy, seems to run out of battery quickly and freezes a lot until it either catches up after several minutes (but is still then a bit laggy) or she has to pull the battery, regardless of what ROM she has been running. Again, mine has never had this problem and this has only been happening to her phone since the day that it first froze.
Her usage had not/has not changed, and the phone was running well before then, so I don't believe she is causing the lag/freezing/battery issues which she now has - it must stem from whatever caused the initial freeze on Viper 1.5.2.
I feel like due to the fact that full wipes, and formatting her SD card have not helped, the card cannot be the problem, plus I feel the fact that Aroma is no longer able to get the phone to reboot may point to a problem with the phone itself.
Can anyone help me to establish if there is a problem with the actual phone and if so, advise me if there is a way I can reflash/reset the phone itself, or whatever may be needed to get it back to how it was before this happened?
Also if it's not the phone itself and anyone might know what actually has happened, please, please enlighten me!!!
Many thanks for reading this and thanks in advance for any replies.

well, regarding the screen issue, use the battery all the way, til it shuts down. then rwmove the battery n press the powere button as if u were turning on ur phone. then let the phone be still over a night. then re-insert the battery n plug the phone into charge but BEWARE THAT U WILL NOT TOUCH THE SCREEN AT ALL, TIL IT'S FULLY CHARGED. i tried this solution, n it worked. maybe so did it for u :-??
n about the lags, i recommend u to install Seeder 2.00 which is recently released n can decrease the lags as much as possible. and also u could try out making 256/128MB swap with 100% swappiness using Kernel Tuner v4. alsi set these settings IN THE ORDER I'VE TYPED in venom tweaks --> misc --> minfree settings

Install TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project) and use that to flash ViperS once more (after doing a full wipe of course). Since the only recovery that allows the installation of kernels on an S-ON device is 4ext, you will need to extract the boot.img file from the ViperS installer .zip and flash that using fastboot. Detailed instructions on how to flash a boot.img file through fastboot can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752270
I don't really trust 4ext because 4ext gave me a lot of weird and nasty bugs. Using TWRP is worth a shot.
