[Q] New sensation owner neeeds help

Alright guys just got my sensation yesterday and already messed it up. I s-off and rooted, then I flashed virtuous ICS then I flashed the proper kernel for tmobile. I am now stuck on the white HTC screen. I can access hboot and cwm recovery but phone will not boot rom. I flahsed proper tmobile patch and still no go. I waited about 15mins after every flash. Am I screwed? What should I do?

This has always worked for me, no matter which ICS ROM:
1) Flash proper 3.32 firmware from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 T-Mobile is in there.
2) Superwipe
3) Wipe cache + dalvik
4) Flash ROM
5) Reboot

Do I need a tmobile ruu and if so the link on these forums wont download. it says free downloads for this link are being used.
Even so, can I use an RUU even if my phone stays stuck on the splash screen?
And about the backup, will restoring a backup fix the kernel issue as well?

[Q] Bootloop Sensation XE

Hello!

I want to use the HyperSensation rom, if u need to know that to help me!
Thx for answers!

Did you wipe before installing the rom? If not this is what is causing your issue! In recovery you need to do the wipe.
Hope this helps! The thank button is there for a reason!

If you mean putting a ROM on the SD card, and flash it via 4ext, then yes. Thats the only way ive tried to flash roms. Might that be the reason for the loop?

Radio?
Shoudln't the hboot say something about radio?
mine doesn't, but it I remember that it did the first time i went in Hboot.
If that's the problem, how can i fix it?

What custom recovery are you using?

Fixed the radio now, had the wrong firmware for my ROM. Doesn't loop anymore, but wont start up either, it shows me the HTC logo for hours.

sim lock
my phone is locked to "Telenor"(I live in Norway). Telenor is a phone company.
May that be my problem? and how can i remove the sim lock?

First thing first do the whole first Step of this guide to S-OFF your Sensation. Do it very carefully and follow all steps!. Don't get bored to read.
Then follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154
VERY VERY VERY CAREFULLY Find your CID and MID as the thread says (I recommend using the method 1. fastboot getvar cid
2. fastboot getvar mid). Then download the correct firmware from the same thread corresponding to your CID. The correct version is 3.32 if you want to flash ICS roms. Just find the correct one to download.
Then follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=966814&stc=1&d=1332793798
to install a custom recovery. There is a file called "Recovery flash guide - READ ME.txt". Do as it says EXACTLY .
Then just download whatever rom you want, place it on your sd and flash it using the Install zip from sd-card option located in the recovery (access it by pressing volume up+power when the phone is turned off)
This is a guide for a specific ROM (Android Revolution HD) but the procedure is similar for any ROM. just flash different zip

Need help to restore original rom.

I really messed up. I didn't do enough reading to upgrade to ICS. I can only access hboot. I downloaded RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.50.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223976_signed which is supposed to be tmobile 4g us original rom.
I do not know how to install it. It is not a zip file so when I go into recovery it does not see it.
Are there complete instructions on how to install this file. I do not want to miss a step and mess up my phone further. Soory for not doing proper reasearch and have to bother someone. I was too overconfident before starting procedure.

The RUU is a windows executable file you just have to run, with your phone connected via usb.
Jus remember that it will wipe you phone for all data, so be sure to have a backup.

It should be a zip file and it should be placed in the root folder of your ad card I know this because I had to do it on my sensation 4g let me do some checking through the post and see if I can get you a link and down load the correct ruu so you can upgrade to ics hang tight this is easy

While in h boot, click on fastboot by pushing power button when in h boot, then plug your phone into pc and run ruu.exe as administrator. As long as you have fastboot drivers installed you should be able to run the ruu while the phone is in fastboot.

if you want to use the ruu.exe(restores everything back to stock) then you have to relock first the bootloader
the command is fastboot oem lock
if you want to flash a rom from recovery then:
flash 4ext recovery
enable smartflash from 4ext(because you are on S-ON)
flash the rom
done
note: don't rename it as recovery.img just recovery

about the ruu.exe you don't have to rename anything at all
just run it as it is from pc(double click on it)
only connect the device to pc in fastboot mode(from bootloader and it should say fastboot usb)
by the way do you have 4ext installed?
and secondly do you want to return to stock condition or just want to flash a custom rom?

I would like to not have stock but at this point I'll take an. Thing. I'm trying to use kgs to get firmware seeing if that is my Problem. I used a recovery to be honest I'm now sure

how do i get my pyramid back to normal?

i've been trying for about 7 hours now (no joke) to get my phone fixed
i'm pretty familiar with rooting/hacking/ROMS on my droidx and if anything went wrong i just plugged in the phone and SBF back to stock - simple. i assumed i could do that for the sensation but that is obviously not the case.
my first time with the sensation i got the bootloader unlocked/cwm installed/installed CM9 and got stuck on the CM9 loading screen. i think i never got the s-off to work, but didn't realize it.
last 7 hours have been spent trying all kinds of things to get it back to normal but nothing seems to work.
i am now stuck on the green htc logo at boot every time
i can currently access cwm 5.8.0.9 / fastboot
fastboot shows:

i just want to get the phone back to stock so i can start over and try again!
any help/leads would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not 100% on this, so get another opinion, but since you have the bootloader still, try to attain S-Off using the wire method.
Edit: Scratch that, you need a stock rom that's rooted for it. If you can boot CWM, restore the nandroid backup that you hopefully made. If not, make sure you wiped data/cache before installing CM9. If you forgot to, wipe them and reinstall CM9. There's also a guide floating around about installing and booting custom roms with S-ON that could help you out.

Since you have the official ruu Rom. You will double click on the ruu and since HTC Android Phone ROM Update utility pops up, you'll go into c:\Users\yourUser\AppData\Local\Temp and you'll search rom.zip. You will put it on the sd card and rename it to PG58IMG.zip and you will start your phone into bootloader, and when it asks, proceed with the update and you should be fine.
