Hi all! Just tried installing a new ROM, Virtous, this is my 5th rom i have installed and had no problems in the past. This one says i need to install their firmware first, so i downloaded that, booted up recovery and tried installing this zip from there but it wont install? When i try to start up the rom it just sticks at the V logo screen for 10 seconds then reboots... it keeps doing this, left it for 20+ mins but no luck!
Any help please? Thanks guys
First thing u have to have supercid. If u don't have done that the firmware won't install itself properly.
After that just put the zip on your sd card and start recovery. the firmware will install itself.

Thanks for your reply. Supercid? Im really sorry but im abit of a noob at this... where do i get this from/how do i install it?
No problem just check the guide in the development forum.I think it's step 4. you need the program adb. But the guide will tell you exactly what to do.

Brilliant ill take a look at that. Thanks alot bud
i didn't have supercid.
i just s-off and install cwm and can flash Virtuous Sensation. i don't even root my stock rom.
before flashing Virtuous Sensation, i wipe data first in cwm.
Well then you are a lucky guy..... I had to do it as described on top

Yes you have to Supercid first, if not than you cant install the firmware. Once Supercid is installed complete a FULL WIPE and reboot, if the firmware zip is detected install it and than you can install the rom.
Hi all, I have been waiting long for the official upgrade to ICS from JTC which I was over the moon when I checked software update on my phone and found it was available, I downloaded it , hit install, the phone shut down , I closed my eyes and opened them to see that the phone didn't finish the setup and Instead had the green Android man with a triangle next to it with (!) Inside , first I left it dor an hour and when nothing happened, I had to take the battery off and restarted the phone and tried it again but no luck.
My phone has the original Rom on it , not rooted , has s-off and has clockworks mod recovery on it , I even tried to install the update from recovery boot but kept coming with error and installation aborted , can anyone help me please? Much appreciated
Thanks

Stop fooling around with the original software when you have soff. Flash the latest firmware available here in forum and flash a custom rom.

u never upgrade from ota with custom recovery and s-off. i mean NEVER.
now your phone is soft bricked. get over it and flash the latest firmware and flash an ics rom
Thanks for ur reply, and sorry I realised it was the wrong sec right after I posted it, my question is is there away I can get it back s-on or if I uninstall clockworcksmod and wipe the Rom will it let me upgrade to original HTC ICS ? Or do I forget it and root it and get a cooked Rom ?

you can. but it's a really complicated process and u may permanently brick your phone. my advice is that u just flash 3.32 firmware and flash any ics rom from here.

Try this First, use 4ext recovery to format all partitions except sdcard, install stock ROM by running RUU and see if that helps, IF NOT use the below method
I got this working for me after I tried getting to stock from ICS custom rom and semi bricked my sensation, you use this at your own risk:
1. Use htc dev unlock method and then use 4ext recovery formatted all partitions except sdcard
2. Install custom rom , a 2.3.4 rom (use Android Revolution HD 3.6.13), can be downloaded from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14191938&postcount=1" as multiupload is not working so couldn't download any rom from there, so used above one
3. Reboot sensation, used revolutionary to get S-OFF
4. RUU was not flashing so do this : Relocked my phone by running "Fastboot OEM lock" with phone in fastboot USB and then reboot the phone
5. From "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033", Used METHOD 2 - ENG HBOOT [both Flash ENG HBOOT & Download an RUU and then Flash RUU (rom.zip)]
6. Once phone boots up, run the STOCK RUU.exe as normal (required else phone would not install OTA though downloads it without problem),
7. Once done and rebooted, used commands from "http://theunlockr.com/2011/10/03/how-to-unroot-the-htc-sensation-4g/" to put S_ON back
8. Result, relocked, S-ON and on STOCK with OTA installing without problem
Please tell if this helps
Dont make it s-off just install the ota to get rid off custom recovery
Then install the OTA
ore flash Mikes FW and then his stiock ICS
and has clockworks mod recovery on it
you need only stock recovery
jast flash orginal ruu and chek for update and install it
Ok mi new and i think i bricked the Htc..
I try to make the S-off and i used the tool called " htc one x all in one kit" and when make a flash recovery for CWN 5.82.7 touch the device was reset.. But i think a made a mistake to flash to the kernel 2.6.394.. Cuz when i make that the device dont boot and only see a white htc freeze screen.
The recovery works fine.. I unlocked the bootloader but in cant fix it.. I need a custom kernel for this ? And where i can find it.
Please help.. Only had this device 15 days and i dont know if warranty can claim this.

because he probably did what I just did. A quick google search on how to root a HTC Sensation (XE) will bring up a page saying you can use this tool for the Sensation, even though the tool is for the One X.
i did the exact same thing he did, as the tool says you should flash the Kernel. meaning I too am stuck with a phone that get stuck on the HTc white splash screen...
i don't know about this guy but my phone says:
*** UNLOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.29.0000
eMMC-boot
and it goes to the white splash screen if you select any of the options...
really need some help too D: !!!!
If your phones boot loader is unlocked
With the htcdev unlock tool and your already using 4ext then make sure smart flash is enabled (recovery > tools > enable smart flash) then do a full wipe and reflash the rom.

well, some of us, like myself didn't use a guide from this site. but come here to look for our solution. for example the guide I followed made no mention of this 4ext...
hell, even after spending my day trying to fix my phone, I still don't know how to install a ROM properly...
But that's your problem you used tutorial and even tools for completely different phone. Furthermore, you didn't read tutorials here, but you have the nerve to crawl here to find help. That's hypocritical to say at least. That being said, XDA's purpose is NOT to fix your problems that arised from your inability to think before you act. If it's tutorials weren't good enough for you then, it's help can't be enough for you now.

Here is my advice to you, as far as the ROM getting stuck during install I really am not sure why it did that . But here are two suggestions, one move the ROM's zip file from the Download folder to the root of your SD card, two try re-downloading the ROM as you might have got a bad download.
Now let me address your main problem that you have not had yet because you have not successfully flash a new ROM yet. You are S-ON and HTC Dev unlocked so you will have to flash the boot.img as it will not flash during a normal install like devices that are full S-OFF. Now also seeing as you said you do not have a computer you need to install 4EXT Recovery so you can use Smart Flash to flash the boot.img. Without Smart Flash you will have to use a computer to flash the boot.img via fastboot commands. Now to install 4EXT Recovery without a computer you need to install the free 4EXT Updater app, when you download the apk make sure you go into Settings/Security and place a check beside "Unknown sources" and then use a file manager such as ESFile Manager or Astro File Manager (both free from yom the Play Store) to install the apk. Once you have it installed just open the app and select "Online install ¦ upgrade" option to install 4EXT Recovery then go into the Settings for the app and select the Recovery tab, then place a check beside "S-ON: 4EXT SmartFlash" then boot to recovery and flash your ROM. Follow the guide linked in this thread earlier also if you have troubles as it is the best guide for Sensation users that are HTC Dev unlocked and S-ON. Here is a link to the 4EXT thread as well.

Well it sounds like your SD card maybe messed up, if your device will not format the card while in recovery then your only other options are to try to format it with a computer. If you try using a computer I suggest you do a low level format first And then format it Fat32. Your other option is to just get another SD card.
Now to get your device functional again. The only way you will be able to do this now is using a computer to flash the official ROM for your device via RUU. This will not revert your device to S-ON but it will give you a locked Hboot again so you will have to re flash a eng-Hboot to your device. You will also have to flash a custom recovery again and re root your device. Go to this thread to try and find the RUU for your device and info on how to flash via RUU. Also a RUU is the only way you will be able to flash without a working SD card.

I got your PM and no problem man I am glad I could help. Now as for what it is doing now when it acts like it is updating does it say "Android updating" when it first boots up? If so it is just gathering needed information and making needed files for any new apps you have installed.now the fact that it is restarting and doing this every time is abnormal as it should only do it once. If that is not what it is doing and it is just showing the progress circle then that means the device is just finishing up loading everything. Now the only thing I can really think of to try is to either uninstall the last app or two that you installed to see if it is a app causing conflict. Make sure to reboot the device after uninstalling the app or apps. If uninstalling the last couple of apps does not help try doing a factory reset and see if it still reboots on it's own.
In one of your other post you said you did successfully S-OFF your device. If you are S-OFF then you do not need to unlock your device again with HTC Dev you just need to install a eng-Hboot. Go to Unlimited.io and click on Hboot downloads, then click on pyramid, last click on ICS. This will start a download for the eng-Hboot you need to install, go back to the first page I linked you to where you clicked on Hboot downloads. The fastboot commands you have to use to install the eng Hboot are on that page. If you do not have access to a computer with ADB already set up on it you can go to the User Friendly Firmware thread and downloaded the 3.33 Universal firmware package and flash ot via bootloader. Just put the PG58IMG.zip on the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader and then follow the on screen instruction.
God 1 thing after another now I can't connect my phone to the comp, phone won't factory reset or go into recovery, just restarts

If you're comming back from a different base,
( cyanogenmod-> sense or the other way around- for example)
You may try to fully wipe your device, before restoring backup
and flashing boot.img
That is anyway what i do in case of troubles
Edit: Nowadays, custom roms- as they mature- are/may be using different bases...
very often even updates of that same rom differ so much,
that full wipe before update becomes our good habit,
and- in many cases- strongly advised practise

Well, just calm down and start from skratch:
1.lock bootloader
2. Run RUU
A) check pc drivers
B) check if they ( phone and pc) see each other-when phone in fastboot mode
Running RUU is a procedure given to us for granted by manufacturer,
when all else fails- RUU must not, and ussualy does not....
If you- in th mean time- have upgraded bootloader- should find appropriate stock ruu
Belive me it's not my first time to use RUU and adb/fastboot commands but no help

Desire s HELP THREAD ask any question....
and ask about it there...
My b****y tab stopped pasting links- sorry,...
Anyway just go there and ask
Now the method of flashing is the same with all desire s phone. Not one of this device has another 'special' way of flashing.
There might be a small chance that u did the flash wrongly. I would suggest that u be specific(right down to the adb command) in the process when flashing the nandroid.
Any chance that u change the hboot since ur last nandroid?
If stock rom is all u wanted, we have many sense rom, even modded stock rom that has been clean(those require specific hboot though).
Now being being led to run a ruu. Are u s-off or unlock? if u are not sure check bootloader.
If you are unlock, check this out. Step 4 shows the the method of flash rom and boot.img from the fastboot.
I will try again I'm unlocked son 4ext classic recovery
