[Q] Sensation can't flash any rom - HTC Sensation

I rooted it. It ıs unlocked but s on. At the last day I downloaded ten roms but 3 of them flashed. But I tried I tried and now the worst. I stays only HTC screen. I flash rom in 4EXT. It says successful. But system is not starting. It stay at HTC screen. My phone is now cant be use, flushed.I can enter the EXT4 restore successfull but not start.Is it brikced what can I do ?

Enable smartflash in 4EXT then do the restore (remember everytime you reboot to recovery you should enable smartflash just before flashing)
Edit: also you should always always enable smartflash when flashing a Rom or kernel

It did not resolve the problem. Phone is flushing rom succesfully but system is not starting. It crushed on HTC screen
When start of 4EXT it says: Unconfigured app use 4EXT to set me up.
Problem ıs that or whatever help please

I think this is not about 4EXT. Because I am already flushing roms as I did before. Normally phone was starting after flushing but now there are no activity. ONLY HTC writing. What can I do another ?

yes because you are S-ON so you need to enable SmartFlash in 4EXT

enable smartflash in 4EXT then immediately flash the rom ..if not working still then do the extra 1 step from the guide ive mentioned earlier
present at 4EXT -> tools-> enable smartflash

What's the best way to flash a kernel?

I just reflashed my phone to viper s 1.1.0 and I'm trying to flash sebfm latest kernel 1.52 through 4ext recovery, but it won't work. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Just put that kernel on root folder of SDcard, then reboot your phone into recovery mode. wipe dalvik cache and cache. then choose instal zip from sd card > choose that kernel. that is all i do

if you are SON but HTC-DEV unlocked ..just before flashing the kernel enable smartflash (if 4EXT recovery) in tools that will make sure your kernel gets changed

i have tried this method several times, but doesn't seem to work.
Smartflash is enabled. Is there another method or maybe an app that'll work?

What's the best way to get this recovery without abd?
get s-off, its not that hard .. not sure why everyone is so hesitant to do it
then install 4ext, you can do it through a terminal on the phone or get the 4ext updater app thing
for ICS/JB youll need to update the firmware as well
Soff is a good thing. You might want to s off his device
I'm s off and I don't regret it. It just makes things a bit easier. I agree with above post. It's definitely worth the extra effort.

Hi,
Go to settings /power and untick fastboot.
Power the phone off,or remove the battery.
Power on holding the volume down and power button.
Go to recovery and enable "Smartflash" just before installing the ROM.
Should be fine after that.

[Q] HTC Sensation XE Root dilemma

Hello experts,
Yesterday I tried to root my HTC Sensation XE! First I unlocked this device using the htcdev then u found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668276 and i followd the instructions and finished. In the HBOOT menu this device is still listed as S-ON but i downloaded the Rootchecker app and it confirms that the device is routed.
I am trying to update to the jellybean 4.1.2 using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009.
The cyogenmod bootscreen is stuck loading over 10min so i assumed that i am doing something wrong, so i restored it to the original ROM using clockworks.
If someone has any ideas please feel free to comment and remark.
Thanks =)
Use 4ext with smart flash on,
What it seems to me is with clock work it doesn't write the boot IMG. With that being said it would be stuck in a boot loop.

I had no sucsess .
let me explain the procedure.
First i am turning off my phone and remove the battery.
I boot into HBOOT by pressing the volume down and power.
Acess the recove, in which the 4ext menu appears.
I select wipe phone, and after i select delate chace and dalvik
Then i select the install from sd > chose the zip.
i select the CM10 zip and install it and after i select the gaps too.
reboot the phone.
When rebooting the phone stucks the cyanogenmod boot screen
Okay. I had this same problem you are having when I first started getting familiar with flashing ROMs.
If you correctly installed 4ext recovery, go into your settings and select "smart flash on" this will allow you to flash a ROM correctly with out having your s-off. Try that and let me know.

When you flash another rom.. You should do full wipe aka 4EXT - wipe / format - format all partitions except sdcard
Then flash cm10 rom.. You will come out fine

[Q] HTC sensation ROM flashing problem

Dear friends,
I tried to flash the Jelly BAM rom 3.3 on my htc sensation. The device is roooted with CWM installed. I did factory data wipe in recoevre mode and installed the zip from sdcard but on booting my system hangs on the startup screen forever. After that i have tried all data wipes etc but it doesnt seem to be working. My device is also not being recognised on the computer so i would flash the boot.img from adb or some thing. can you please advise what to do now?
Is your device s-off?
If not, install 4ext recovery (see my signature) and flash the ROM from there, make sure 'smart flash' is checked in the recovery.
Without s-off the recovery has no direct access to the boot partition, this smart flash mode bypass this problem.

S-ON or S-OFF?
what recovery do you have?
Install 4ext recovery then put the cm10 zip file into sdcard ... Boot into recovery format everything except sdcard(external memory)...
Then go in tools and enable smartflash ...
Aftr enabling smart flash install the zip ..
Clear dalvic cache n reboot .... Try this if u still cnt get the rom to run try flashing latest firmware 3.32/3.33 n follow the whole process Again
