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 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

Flash a new rom or reinstall the current one from recovery. That'll fix it.

Worse case you may have to do a full wipe
(hope you did a full backup first!)
I had this happen a few weeks ago - wiping cache did finally fix it for me. Try it more than once just to be safe.
I have justed flashed arhd 6.0 ics. stuck on beats logo after reboot eny help would be great guys cheers
my backup wont even work!! i had a MIUI backup, and when i restored it, it restarts at boot logo! but before that i tried to update my firmware to 3.24 and got a CID INCORRECT error, is there anyway for me to resotore?

Hi, don't worry. It is because whenever you are holding your power+volume- button , it boots into bootloader or HBOOT mode. This mode is intended to flash firmware package . ( i.e radio, HBOOT, Splash etc ) . That is why the bootloader searches your sdcard for the firmware package( PG58IMG.zip).
When it can not find it , it waits for user input , then u select recovery and press the power button.
In fact do not keep any PG58IMG.zip file on your sdcard if you do not want to flash your firmware. If this screen annoys you , you can use QUICKBOOT app from the market. By using this app you can directly boot into recovery. Alternatively u can open a terminal on your phone and type : "reboot recovery" . It will directly boot into recovery. If you are comfortable with adb , then type from your pc in the adb terminal " adb reboot recovery"..
yes thanks but now my phone is stuck in boot loop and i s wipe it then try to reinstall ics rom and still in boot loop any suggestions ?

Now that problem sounds more like a bad flash, re-download the ROM, check MD5 sums and if they match, reflash the ROM. If the MD5 Sums dont match then try another ROM
checked came back ok with a tick so isnt that ill try to install the old gingerbread rom then upgrade.
grrrrr getting frustrated now lol
nope didnt fix it still in boot loop any fix suggestions be greatfully received im lost now as to what to do.
This can be closed now sorted

Are u using an ics Rom? Ics 4.0.1 has a dedicated firmware to flash. So also ics 4.0.3 has its separate one. Search for there respective firmware and flash. You will b ok.

Happy to see that you have solved your problem.
Just one request , while asking any question try to give your HBOOT and Radio version i.e the full details of your bootloader screen. This will help people to understand your problem better.
Happy androiding on sensation !!
i cannot boot phone into recovery nor can i boot phone normally... I had just installed Viper one S rom on my phone and rebooted into recovery because my wifi wasnt working , so i was just going to revert back to an old rom. After clicking reboot to recovery from Viper rom the screen just went white . I had to power it down manually, after powering it up it would stop at htc screen with the red development lines... tried to go into recovery and it will come up for a second then disapear then phone reboots.... any ideas? oh I also had installed Latest radio in CWM after installing rom.. I hear its buggy in CWM...
I had the same problem. Did you flash the boot.IMG in recovery or fastboot? If you flashed in recovery and its not supported by your hboot version. That could be the issue. Try re flashing the boot.IMG using fastboot. If you still cannot get it to work. I would try reinstalling a custom recovery manually and restarting the Rom flashing process. There are forums all over the place to help with that. Try twrp. Ps this is all assuming you are able to get into your boot loader.

Problem fixed. Don't ask me how lol. All I did was relock boot loader and flash stock ROM. Stock ROM would not load so I just decided to unlocked boot loader and phone rebooted fine. Recover works to.. crazy.

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.

You need s-off, new recovery
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app
I bought a used htc sensation (TMOUS) from ebay and immediately rooted and s-off'd (using the stickied toolkit, and revolutionary.io respectively). I then updated my firmware to 3.33 and used clockwork recovery to install the CyanogenMod 10.1 Jellybean 4.2.2 - KANG. The ROM would load but it would freeze and soft reboot at the welcome screen, after I selected my language. I tried again with the PAC-man ROM and experienced the same problem. Then I tried again with Cyanogenmod 9.1 and this time the phone would lock up if I tried to pull down the notification bar or use any apps. In one of the ROM threads I saw that it might be an issue with the radio, so I tried an variety of radios but still have the same results or occasionally the ROM will get stuck at the boot animation. I'm currently using firmware 3.32 (downgraded to see if that would help), hboot 1.27.1100 and radio 11.23.3504.07 M2. Any ideas on why my phone just refuses to boot up?
Hi
Greetings,
Try ARHD or stock Rom and check

You may also try the installation using 4Ext touch recovery.
It seems Recovery is the culprit
Change it to 4EXT

I tried flashing 4EXT using the multitool and for some reason the phone entered a bootloop when I tried to boot in to recovery. I then tried flashing the TWRP recovery image through the multitool and it worked! After formatting everything and reinstalling the PAC-man ROM, I was finally able to get past that welcome screen. I bought this phone as a gift for a friend, and it is blowing my mind that this rom makes this 2 year old phone have newer features than my galaxy s3! Thank you again for all the help!!
