HELP

plz help. rooted sensation. I was running sense-o-maniac rom but switched to an ics rom using 4ext recovery but then my phone didnt start after 1 hour so i tried to put it into hboot and it said that no image or something and then asks ffor an update. When i do that update it reboots and gets stuck again but if i dont i cant press to go back only reboot where it gets stuck. What do i do? i am willing too do a full wipe or ANYTHING just gte me into recovery.PLEASE

Did you flash the recovery using hboot (pg58img.zip) If so remove it from your SD card (use an adaptor or just remove the SD and see if you can get to hboot as normal.

For the new ics roms you need to upgrade the firmware 1st if not roms won't boot I use arhd and there are clear instructions in the dev Rom post...sounds like what u are seeong

And if that's the case, you can put a Gingerbread ROM on the SD card and reflash that one. Should spin right up.
IF this is your problem

Yes most probably the problem is due to the flashing of the firmware. First flash the firmware required for ICS ROMS and then install the ROM, should work out fine for you

about to get this phone. Roms?

ill be rooting this, how do i get ics? do i have to flash a ruu then flash roms? or if i want, i just flash sensation xe roms and im good to go? please help

Right now there are a couple of ICS roms.
Personally I'm using ARHD's ICS rom & it works perfectly with a good battery life.
Follow the steps here till after writing SuperCID.
For ICS ROM, you would need to flash firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU from here.
For support for newer ICS rom's like ARHD's. All 4.0.3 ICS Roms runs on 3.12.401.2/102
& It's been said that this firmware runs good with Gingerbread too.
-Warning Only Flash after Rooting-
Heres the one I'm using. ARHD
The guide to do this can be found at ARHD's post itself under the "How to Flash" Section.
Hopes this helps!

can you tell me the steps to flash the ruu?
i download the file, and i put it in root of sdcard and i go to bootloader or fastboot and flash?
do i have to check anything before doing this? thanks. and will it brick my phone?

you MUST do Super CID. Set it to 11111111.
MAKE SURE IT IS 11111111 BEFORE FLASHING.
If not it might cause issues like bricking.

If you wait some days more ( like a month or less), HTC will announce the official update

Downgrade JB -> ICS

I haven't a concrete answer on this, so i'll ask.
Q. Can our HTC Sensations once on a JellyBean ROM be downgraded to an ICS ROM? if so how?

if you have 3.32fw or 3.33fw version so any ics or jelly bean rom will work
just flash from recovery
always do a nandroid backup first

it's not that simple. you'll get boot loop. maybe need to use blank sd card. or just use JB. what's wrong with JB anyway?

Since there is no information given about the specific phone in question it is hard to answer the question...
But yes you can move between JB and ICS...
I do so regularly... But since nothing about the specific phone is provided-- can't realy say if you can or not.

Bootloop ???
And blank sd card for what ??? :what:
Mate ics and jelly beans run on same firmware . . 3.3x for HTC sensation
So u don't require to do somethin special for downgrading jelly to ics
If u want to downgrade ics or jelly beans to gingerbread . . Then u have to downgrade firmware first then Rom . .

[HELP] How to Unbrick

Hi guys..i need help here..my friend ask me to unbrick his HTC Explorer..its rooted already..he said its happen bcoz he wrongly deleted software..system file perhaps..so the situation here, its stuck into white screen with HTC logo..i search google, i can unbrick it using RRU..but one of my friend said, RRU cannot be done on unlocked bootloader..so i wanna ask if anyone can guide me, how to unbrick it to stock rom..i dont know whether this phone bootloader unlock or not..how to check it? thanx
EDIT : Done..its unlocked and i just flash any custom rom..is there any pure stock rom that flashable on CWM? or i only can use custom based on stock only?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189199 This is as close as it can be to stock rom, there is pretty much no difference between this and ruu, only installation method. If you want check out this thread also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225776 this is with the newest official update for explorer

my friend, i tried both, but end it with bootloop..but other custom rom can boot to homescreen..hurmm..but i wanna stock rom..did i need to flash stock kernel first?

That's weird... No, kernel first is not needed for the phone. Can you try first flashing this http://www.mediafire.com/?lim1od8qrjdbblp and after that one of the roms, another idea is to search for a backup of stock rom, then just restore it, I'm sure somewhere here in the forum I saw one, just couldn't find it now and I don't have a lot time, will try again later.Or ask in of the rom's thread, I just have no clue why stock roms don't work for you.

It appears to be the case of soft brick. Just download any custom from of your choice (IMO go for cm9#12) and flash it.

wipe everything via recovery, make sure your bootloader is locked, get into fastboot mode and run the RUU on your PC.

[Q] Flashing a ROM on HTC Sensation 4g

Hello everyone,
I recently bought HTC Sensation 4g (T-mobile) and it's already S-OFF, rooted (Superuser by ClockworkMod) and recovery is CWM 5.0.2.0 and it has stock rom Android 2.3.4. Recently, I got alerted about an update of 4.0.4 for my HTC then I downloaded it but can't install it so I guess it's because it's rooted. I really want to install 4.0.4 on my HTC sensation 4g then I searched up for roms until I found this rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654347
Now, my question is, how should I flash it? Should I normally just flash it via CWM or via odin? Or I will have to go back to stock recovery for flashing the rom that Steve0007 posted on the thread linked above. And just to confirm, is it compatible with my device?
Android: 2.3.4
HTC Sense: 3.0
Software number: 1.50.531.1
Thanks!

First upgrade your firmware to 3.33universal
Go to the development section and search for kohr-ah's thread
Follow the instructions carefully and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
After that you have to flash an ics or jellybean Rom because your current Rom won't boot with ics firmware
Edit:do not never use Odin for anything.it is not for sensation devices

And uhh, it's really big headache unlike Samsung mobiles.. easy to root and easy to get back to stock. HTC is a big headache for those things.

Hey, just changed my mind, how about flashing another good custom ROM? Should I just flash custom ROM via CWM? 4.0.4 stock is way too hard and gonna take time.

yes you can use any custom rom you like
