Hello,
I have rooted htc sensation, everything was working fine till I tried to instal cm9. Instalation was ok, but phone stuck in the boot loop (animated cm guy). After that i tried to get rid of it and on some stage i flashed stock kernel. In result im stuck on htc logo. I've read a lots of stuff but i couldnt find the ansver. I still can go into boot loader and recovery. I tried full vipe didnt help. was that problem caused by installing cm on s-on? Please if anyone know how to fixe it help me - Thank you
if you are using 4ext recovery enable smartflash and install the rom again
otherwise flash the boot.img manually
i think it will help you
but i don't know if you can install cm with S-ON.
do what i said and see

Im using clocwork. By flasing manually you mean innstalling cm from recovery?
no.first see this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
flash 4ext recovery from step 2
then flash cm again but don't forget to enable smartflash before flashing the rom

I did everything as You said - followed the instruction, 4ext is working, i enabled smartflash, no problems with loading cm but after reboot it stops on htc again :/. In the 4ext info section it says: Current rom cm_pyramid -userdebug 4.0.4

the only thing that i can tell you try to install another rom(check ARHD)reboot after install and see if it shows you the same
maybe requires S-OFF for cm but you told it booted fine the first time
i don't know why that happened

No - first time with cm it stuck in boot loop - not htc splash screen but the cm animation. So could you just tell me is there a way to turn it s-off?

wait SOFF is not required..not even for cm9
reflash the rom with smartflash enabled in recovery ..then reboot to bootloader (power menu from recovery) then do the extra 1 step from SON flashing guide ..that should do

i am but i can seem to connect my phone which was rooted before i got it cant connect to the adb or fasboot files so i can do the command and i tried installing the adb fasboot files but cant seem to get my sensation to connect with my computer but on the screen of the sensation it says its connected fastboot usb and the computer installs the drivers by itself by doesnt let me do the command to the phone so im wondering is there a way i can redo the fastboot to my sensation which when i got it was rooted so im guessing they used there computer to do the commands on there computer. just need to find another way can you think of one because i tried following the step on this guide on installing the adb fasboot drivers but cant seem to get the path right or something is just wrong hopefully you can understand what im saying because this happened to me about 2 days ago and i was running bruce2728's cm10 rom perfectly then and also one thing when i go into the hboot it says no bootimg but it said that even before i flash bruce2728 rom and im guessing the problem could be the bootimg but i got to get the fastboot running with my computer please help if you can i would greatly appreciate it.

i flashed the kernel without knowing what it was, and since then nothing works. i didnt make a backup or anything. i know real stupid what i did but pls help me
S-ON, and the phone is not rooted.
To my knowledge if you are still s-on you need to flash your boot.img every boot. I'm assuming you have a custom recovery right? If so just follow the steps to installing a custom rom and it might fixed it. If this works get 4ext and flash the rom using its "smart flash" function (that what I think it is called) this way you no longer need to flash the boot.img every boot.
here is a link to a guide for flashing with htc dev unlock.
thank you soooo much flare4000. my phone is up and running again!
No problem, next time pay attention to what you are doing okay? And make sure you make a nandroid, when flashing a rom.
Please help

format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
enable smartflash
flash the rom
see if it works
about the boot.img:
place it in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
open there a command window and do the command

Well I was confused because I thought SDK or adb was a program that you set for a individual device but I set the adbs already for my tf300t so I just used the same fast boot folder I used for my tf300t so I'm guessing all you have to do is look up how to install SDK or adb files for fast boot and install HTC drivers. That should solve your problem or if you did what I did about the tf300t thing then just plug in your device activate fast boot by going into your hboot. Then you open up your adb folder you placed in your c drive and hold shift right click open command there and then take the bootimg and paste it in your same adb folder directly and flash with command flash boot bootimg then it should boot up into your ROM and if you have anymore questions ask me. Also can someone correct me if I'm wrong on the bootimg command.

depending from your hboot version you have gb firmware
so any ics rom won't boot in your device
with your hboot version you have to follow revolutionary.io method to S-OFF
because only with S-OFF you can upgrade your firmware
see here
http://revolutionary.io/
and then for upgrading firmware see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 (here follow the instructions carefully and check md5 sums first before flashing)
after that you can flash any ics rom
Hi. I'm new to HTC Sensation XE. Yesterday I just decided to root my Sensation XE phone so I went to htcdev.com to unlock bootloader.
Everythings went well, I managed to install Clockwork Recovery to my phone and able to install Superuser.
Bad things happened when I try to install CyanogenMod 9 through Clockwork Recovery. I put the rom into SD card, boot into Clockwork and then wipe data/factory reset plus wipe chache partition. Then install ZIP from SD card.
After "install complete" i reboot my phone and now I see CyanogenMod logo looping and stuck there.
I still can get into Clockwork and try install other rom but the Cyanogen logo also comes back everytime and stuck there.
I just found out that I have to do S-Off ?? I have no idea what to do next.
My previous phone was Nexus S. I installed many custom roms on that phone without any problem. As far as I know if I can get into Clockwork Recovery, my phone has been rooted, right? So
What is S-Off?
Why I have to flash firmware??
ROM for Sensation compatible with Sensation XE?
I am not familiar with AROMA installer, is this the problem I can't install ROM successfully?
Now my phone in HBOOT says:

Please help me
First, you should check the guide on how to flash roms s-on or something. It says you have to push the boot.img in adb, i think.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
get the boot.img from the cm9 rom zip file
copy it to the adb/fastboot folder in your pc
connect the phone in bootloader to PC (phone should read fastboot usb after this )
now open command window in the adb folder and type this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
once it got success
type
fastboot reboot
your phone should boot fine now

SOFF: is security off ..once you got this off ..you can change any partition ..like you can install a custom recovery like cwm..over stock recovery ..and custom roms too
but ..HTC-DEV unlock ..is a alternative provided by the HTC ppl ..where when you do unlock ... recovary partition and partitions to make a custom rom work ..got unlocked ..thus this way you can flash cwm and thus custom roms ..
firmware:
to explain that ..think like this ..the complete phone is
hardware + firmware(radio +hboot/bootloader + some others ) + recovery (stock/custom) + ROM (system +data + boot)
now to have a ICS rom ..you need to have ICS firmware ..thus ICS radio (to have good signal) ..and ICS compatible bootloader to have ROM up and running
(remember if you have HTC-Dev unlocked bootloader you cant change the radio and hboot/bootloader)
as you are on ICS priror to doing HTC-dev unlock bootloader ..you are fine now ..as you already got a ICS radio (starts with 11.2x ..in settings->about phone->more->software information->baseband) ..also the hboot/bootloader 1.27.xxx is of ICS one ...
so you are fine with installing any custom roms ...
now there is a little headache when installing custom roms ..via custom recovery in case of HTC-dev unlocked case
some how when you flash a rom ...via cwm..every thing gets flashed except the boot.img which is the primary component to get the phone booting ...so you need to flash the boot.img separately ...that i explained earlier
there is a good recovery which can avoid the extra pain too ..that is 4EXT and the feature is smartflash
to understand the functioning of this recovery
have a good read of this thread ...its for you

Thank you. That's explain a lot. Now I can boot into Cyanogen and everything is fine now. So one last question, Am I have to push boot.img via fastboot everytime I install a new custom rom? If so, what to do when dealing with rom with AROMA installer?
I tried roms with AROMA installer and the installation ends at "SuperWipe". Nothing seems to install to my phone.

yes as long as you have cwm recovery ..you need to do that ..for every custom rom
and
thats why im saying its best to have 4EXT recovery ..as most of roms are 4EXT recovery compatible ..and what more its base is CWM itself ..so what ever backups you made via CWM can be used in 4EXT recovery ..too (and also its touch recovery )
for 4EXT ..recovery ..check the above guide step #2 for installing the 4EXT recovery
step #3 ..which has an amazing feature ..which will be quite useful to you ..(smart flash)
step #5 ..which makes the smartflash permanent

Hey guys, I have tried to install Cyanogen 9 and I'm having the same issue described here - I get stuck at the Cyanogen 9 screen.
Can I get some help? I have tried to reinstall the boot loader as described but that didn't work.
I have also tried to reinstall the rom and that didn't work either :/
I'm really worried and would appreciate any help.
My phone is also a sensation XE I have rooted it and my recovery works with the 4EXT.

I have tried fastboot flash recovery recovery.img cant find the file or no such file (i pointed to the correct folder) Using Android SDK (not sure if it is installed correctly but had the required files in the folder with the unlock. bin
Tried HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit it said done but S is still on

I used HTC One X toolkit, but it wouldn't S-Off as I had hboot 1.29.0000, therefore couldn't use revolutionary method. In this instance you can s-off using a paperclip, some insulating tape, and running the ControlBear software. To find out how to do this, type the following into YouTube:
JuopunutBear S-Off HTC Sensation.
... That will show you how to achieve S-Off which will unprotected the nand storage to write enabled so you can flash a new ROM.

because you are S-ON when flashing a rom it doesn't write the boot partition by itself
the only thing you have to do is enable smartflash from 4ext recovery and after flash the rom
or
you can follow extra 1 step in the link i provided you in my first post

Done the wire trick, got it after a few attempts recovery screen now says
revolutionary
Pyramid pvt ship s off RL
Hboot 1.27.1100
Radio 11 24a 3504 31 H
now asking for update I ok that phone eventually boots up then says unexpected UI error and screen goes blank. I cant get anything transferred to the phone as the pc isnt seeing it
Is there anyway to get a recovery on the phone so I can load a rom.
Juopunutbear backed up my images but have no idea how to get them back. Before the wire clip trick the phone had Super-Threading-Rom-v1.2.1 4ext recovery it seemed better than my old clockwork recovery
If this isnt bricked what rom would you suggest and how do i flash it
Thanks

Thanks, its working fine now :good:
Ok first things first.. this all is what I did and what's my present situation
1. Unlocked the boooader as per the htc dev site instructions.
2. Tried to soff using jbear method. Every thing went fine untill the jbear utility gave command to restart the device.
After restart, jbear utility failed to recognise the device. It said device not detected, please install device drivers.
3. From that moment onwards, the device is stuck at the white htc bootscreen.
4. I also followed another guide to install custom recovery and custom rom without s off.
I was able to flash a custom recovery, and even the rom. But the device won't move ahead of the bootscreen.
5. Then tried to return to stock using ruu file. But my region ruu is still not available so that method didnt work(3.33.xx.xx asia india).
Have also tried a few more methods but none seem to work.
Help guys.
Phone info:

he has to be on S-OFF to flash a firmware from bootloader and i don't think he achieved S-OFF
what he must to do is enable smartflash from 4ext(if you don't have that recovery use this one)
then flash the rom

Yeah exactly.. device is still s–on. And thats what is causing all the troubles i guess. Can't flash europe or asia ruu(cid error).
And i have tried enabling smartflash. Flashed the android revolution rom. Installed fine. But still stuck on bootscreen.
And as I am not s–off, so i dont think 3.32 ruu would work. Correct me if i'm wrong.
Try flashing boot.IMG manually.
I don't exactly remember the fast boot command but since fast boot commands are working then you can try flashing the boot image manually.

And where do i get this boot image? From ruu?

Not gonna try and bombard you with information I'm not sure why your phone won't boot but I am sure completely installing a new rom (everything) should fix you up so here is what I'll try and lead you to go..
1 use 4ext recovery and enable smart flash and flash a fresh rom.
So are u on 4ext recovery don't worry if your not that HTC unlocked bootloader is just as good as s-off if your bricked and know how to use it

Get the boot image from the custom ROM. Try to extract it with 7-zip or another similar program

also before flashing any rom
format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
then enable smartflash and flash the rom
Still no luck
Ok.. i decided to flash a custom rom (ANDROID REVOLUTION)
1. Flashed 4ext recovery
2. Wiped all partitions except sd card.
3. Enabled smartflash.
4. Flashed rom.
5. Rebooted and still stuck at the htc logo screen( m really sick of this logo now).
Did I miss something?
You know those official updates that cone in a format P8500IMG.zip can you try to find that for your phone unfortunately this will probably result in loss of your root

Cheers guys.. Its back to life again
DON'T HAVE WORDS TO THANK YOU ALL.
Here's what I did..
From my experience.. i believe even after enabling smartflash, the boot image wasn't being flashed.
So what I did is extracted the boot. img from custom rom and flashed it via fastboot.
And voila.. it worked!!
Seems so simple now.. but it took me one week. Wouldn't have been possible without you guys.
Thanks a ton.
Cheers.

Thank you all. Actually all these tips lead to the solution.
Hi there,
Let's start with saying I AM A N00B.
I spend over 4 hours trying to get: Lock removed, S-off , CMW installed and finally CM10.1
It took some time but I got the Lock removed(HTC dev)
But I can't get s-off with junobear because I run W7.
But with a trick (one X toolkit) I got CWM 5.8.0.9 on my device.
I boot into CMW install the CM10.1.zip and the peform a reboot.
All I get is the white screen with the HTC logo.
Ive been looking and reading but I don't get what I did wrong
Who can help me?
