Hey you guys, my friend dropped her phone and it went into bootloop. She was using some old ARHD Rom. She then wiped her phone somehow (not sure what she did). I ended up installing the insertcoin 2.3 (sense 4) rom I am using on my phone but its still stuck in bootloop. I can access the 4ext recovery.
Bootloader info is:
Pyramid PVT Ship S-Off RL
HBOOT - 1.27.1100, Radio - 11.24A. 3504. 31_M
OpenADSP - v05.6.0.2226.0.0418
eMMC - boot.
Please any help on how to get it back to stock or any running rom would be much appreciated.
We need more details .....which kernels did you flash ??
I didn't flash any kernals separately, just the one that came with insertcoin 2.3.
http://insertcoin-roms.org/2012/08/insertcoin-evolution-sense-4-v2-3-sensation/
That has all the information about the rom I flashed.

I flashed a RUU through the rom.zip. The process seemed to be stuck at step [4] System for quite a while, kept unzipping and updating over and over again. It eventually completed but now I'm stuck in bootloop with a large BEEP sound after "htc simply brilliant" screen, then phone reboots and have to pull the battery out. PLEASE HELP ME
Did you install stock kernel ??
Because some roms need specific kernels which only work on the Rom and your going to stock so its not gonna boot

IS the Phone S-OFF?
This step is extremely important, because we are not s-off and there is a problem with creating the "boot.img". T-Macgnolia explained it nicely:
When you use HTC Dev to unlock your bootloader it does unlock the Recovery, System, and Boot partitions to allow your device to write to those partitions and not just read those partitions. But there is a catch, if you want to flash a custom recovery you have to use ABD fastoot commands to flash it. When you flash as ROM in a .zip file via Recovery, it only flashes the System partition. You then have to open the .zip file and extract the boot.img and then use ADB fastboot commands to flash the boot.img to your boot partition. If you do not you will still have the boot.img of the ROM you was using before you flashed the New ROM.
Now let me explain the boot.img a little so you know why it is so important. The boot.img does just what thee name implies, it is what boots the Android ROM on your device. Now let me explain this a little further, the Android OS runs on top of something called a Linux kernel. This means that your bootloader boots the Linux kernel and the hardware of the device. The Linux kernel then boots the Android OS. The kernel is also the connection between the hardware and the Android OS. So you see if the kernel is not compatible with the system that is on the system partition you will have troubles like Wifi not working or other I hardware reliant functions. So when you flash a new ROM and you are HTC Dev unlocked you will have to flash the boot.img for the ROM or you will more than likely have troubles.

There are 2 ways to enable smartflash, one is a temporary way inside the 4EXT recovery itself (only for first time!) and the second way is permanent, through the 4EXT application.
The permanent way can only be enabled if your phone has ROOT! It's impossible to do it when you are going to flash a ROM for the first time.
Once you have flashed your ROM you have to install the 4EXT application and enable smartflash through it, which is explained in Step 5.
3A. Enable 4EXT Temporary smartflash
Enabling this is as simple is getting into the recovery and enabling it as an option.
NOTE: You only need to do this right before flashing your first ROM, so you should skip this step and come back here when the guide tells you to.
Disable "Fast Boot" on your phone.
Code:
Settings
Power
Untick "Fast boot"
Turn off your phone
Hold the Power AND Volume Down button until you see a white screen which says: "Fasboot".
Navigate to "RECOVERY" and select it, you should now boot into the 4EXT recovery
Select "Tools"
Scroll Down and select "Enable 4EXT SmartFlash"
Again, you only need to do this ONCE, once you have flashed your first custom ROM and enabled permanent smartflash, you don't need to this any more!

The phone is S-Off but now it says "locked" on top in purple where as it used to not before. Also should I flash kernel before or after flashing RUU rom?
Sure thing .......
Do you know how to get the stock kernel from the ruu ?

Hi,
The RUU contains a stock ROM ,recovery,kernel,firmware,and radio.
It should be the only thing you need to flash/run.
I do not know why the RUU did not work.
Now that it is "Locked", then you cannot flash an RUU with version less than your phone's current version.
The RUU should reset all your partitions,(Except s-off), and restore your phone to stock.
If your current version is the same as the RUU,try running it again by doing it manually (section 4 in the guide)
Section 4 of what guide (sorry for being this confused).
Also tried flashing other kernels and got assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/newboot.img", "boot") error
I ended up reinstalling CWM recovery, don't know how to get 4ext with just the bootloader...if there is any way possible I'd be willing to try the Smartflash option.
EDIT: just some further info...can't get adb to find device even though it is in fastboot usb mode..any way to get that working?

Hi,
The guide I mentioned in my first post ( HERE )
Flashing a kernel will not achieve anything.
Using smartflash if you are s-off,will not achieve anything.

Still not booting, making a beep after "simply brilliant" screen and reboots constantly. I was able to get ADB to finally work. I also followed Step 4 from the guide but even after the RUU flashes completely the phone is stuck in bootloop.

Hi all,
I hope one of you masterminds is able to help me out.
I tried to root my sensation without s-off with hecdev.com (using One_X_All-In-One_Kit_v1.0) and then tried to install cm9 from one the links here via revcovery with CWM 5.8.0.9.
But then I was stuck with the loading animation...
I cannot run Android now, so I cannot flash a stock RUU.
I can enter bootloader, which seems to be unlocked, here's the info:
"Unlocked"

I was on the latest official ROM (ICS, via OTA) before trying that.
I have not succeeded in flashing a ROM anymore.
Do I need to get S-Off first?
Or is HBOOT to new? Do I have to revert? How?
I tried older HBOOT, but it wouldn'T do anything after PArsing
Please help, any hint is appreciated =/
PS: I would be more than happy to have a stock rom again...as mentioned, cannot use a ruu.exe file, as it seems fastboot usb ist not recognizable by ruu.exe
Edit: After the 4th or 5th try, RUU recognized the phone when in fastboot usb mode, but update fdailed, cwm saif "security fail" ... sigh, seems I really blew it this time

Hi,
Start again using THIS GUIDE
Flash the boot.img from your ROM through fastboot.
Extra step 1 from this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345
Be sure to use the boot.img from your ROM.
Then make a clean install of the ROM again.
Also, read that thread for the sake of understanding what you're doing.
There is NO need yet to flash an RUU.
Latest OTA comes with hboot 1.29 which is locked.
You might not be in the latest one, perhaps start with an RUU with.the latest fw (3.33).

thanks malybru & kgs1992 - tried that, and the 4ext touch recoery said both superwipe and the rom installed correctly.
but when rebooting the white screen with the green htc logo appears right away and nothing more happens...any idea? I may have messed up the kernel before, but when asked by ext4 recovery whether to flash a kernel, tried both custom and stock, none changed the problem with booting up
@Raven2k: Manually installing boot.img with fastbok seemed to help, at least I come over the white screen, am stuck with the beatsaudio logo right now - thanks so far =)

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:
***UNLOCKED***

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

ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.09.04.11_M2

Question: In order to flash ROMS while "S-ON" I need to extract and separately flash boot.img included in ROMs after flashing ROM? If so, can boot.img be flashed from sdcard, or just via PC using adb?
Question: Can I get "S-OFF" after the fact, thus eliminating additional boot.img flashing.
This is my second Inspire/DHD. With my first, AAHK worked fine and I think I was "S-OFF" when rooted. I know I was able to flash ROMs to my hearts content (w/o ever flashing boot.img), until I bricked it (after flashing quite a few ROMS, figured procedure was same for last one I grabbed; silly me for not reading install instructions. Recovery help post for that issue forthcoming)

IF your bootloader says S-ON you can unlock it and flash a custom recovery. Then, yes you need to flash the boot.img of the rom each time you flash a rom in fastboot.
For further help use the guide on my signature...you also have an script to unlock, flash recovery and root.
Thanks for the response.
I just ran the tool that is no longer supported again and all is well.
As for the original, mucked-up unit, using adb I am able to get to bootloader, recovery and can flash, but phone never boots. Tried appropriate PD98IMG on root of SD; tried applying same file as "update.zip and tried straight custom ROM. Right now stuck at CM10's animated boot screen. Guess I have to do some more skim....uh...reading.

Both units are S-OFF.
Issue resolved with effed-up unit. I flashed latest CM nightly, then flashed boot.img from that release, and (as Kelly Bundy would say) vy-o-la, working phone.
Initially found with my previous attempts at flashing (w/o flashing boot img) that phone stayed on ROMs boot spalsh. Also, found at times that phone would boot straight into recovery, but with blank screen. Only way to tell phone was powered was by the illuminated keys (Home, Menu, etc). And with no VOL- key, only way to move and select items was by using the Menu key, with screen blanking out after each key press.
BTW, how I initially effed-up this unit was by flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204384 without reading install instructions. I'd just flashed the zip same as I've been doing with previous ROMs I've tried. :silly: :

It is s-off; was when initially rooted way back when AAHK was still active and still is. However, after multiple attempts at recovery flashing ROMs, this last time I flashed boot.img as well and it booted correctly. Note that ROMs I tried were stock, rooted stock and most recently CM7 and CM10 based.

Unfortunately, this "kernel updater" is making changes which are
preventing some programs to work. I want to remove ViperS and flash
other rom,
Unfortunately x2 this kernel updater made changes which are preventing

actually you didn't flash kernel updater
kernel updater is being using to flash the boot.img of the rom so you can boot the rom after installation(if you are facing bootloops)
what to do now
flash another rom as you know

actually you didn't flash kernel updater
kernel updater is being using to flash the boot.img of the rom so you
can boot the rom after installation(if you are facing bootloops) what
to do now flash another rom as you know

Well, now I'm totally confused so let's start from the beginning:
1. I had some customised rom and decided to flash ViperS 3.1.1.
Flashing 3.1.1. is impossible unless you use this "kernel flasher" which
is included in downloads on the official ViperS311 thread. After
running this kernel flasher I managed to install ViperS311 but for
example LBE Privacy isn't working, my SatNav program isn't wokring,
other software isn't working as well.
2. Yesterday I got a message on my phone that there is an update from
ViperS 3.1.1 to ViperS 3.1.2 which I installed. Unfortunately, after
updating to 3.1.2 the wifi isn't working. I want to remove ViperS and
revert to other Rom like Asianic or any other. Now this is impossible
because of the changes that kernel flasher from ViperS made to my
device.
3. I want it out and get my phone back as I need it.
4. I have just flashed stock kernel and managed to install Asianic, but
after booting into the system and installing ES File Manager, it went
into a boot loop. Is starts and reboots non-stop.
5. I did used ADB but really long time ago so I don't remember all. I
also use mainly linux so I will prefer to revert it to the previous
version without the need for Windows use.

ok
can you boot now in the asianic rom?
if not then follow these steps
1)boot the device to the bootloader
2)connect it to pc via usb(in the hboot screen must say fastboot usb)
3)now extract the boot.img from the asianic rom and place it in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
4)open in that folder a cmd window and do fastboot flash boot boot.img
5)then do fastboot reboot
see then if it boots to the rom
Is superwipe recommended while coming from stock ICS or I should format all partition except SD Card? I am S-Off and 3.33 firmware.

Thanks for that rzr86, I'm starting to understand that now. It seems
that Kernel Flasher from ViperS 311 is a boot.img file with simple
program made by ViperS group that does what you mentioned, but without
the need for using adb and command line.
- However, I still don't understand what changes they made to that
boot.img to cause such complications... ?
Asianic installed correctly but than started crashing and booting in
loop so I replaced it with "Sense-o-Maniac" and this seems to be
working fine.
It doesn’t have any previous problems that I was experiencing on other
rom's.
I will report if any problems arise. So for so good.
I got bit shaky when I couldn't boot into 4EXT but it was just temprary

Superwipe is basically wiping all partitions except of SD Card. Always recommended :highfive:

All kernel flasher does is "fastboot flash boot boot.img" NOTHING ELSE, and u can use it to actually flash any other kernel you want on ANY device!
Using kernel fasher
Hi ! I just joined this forum and might be this is my first question
I am quite interesting to install this ROM (viper) and would like to take a shot. But, I worry about this "kernel flasher" issue.
Here is my sensation status :
-HBOOT 1.29
-Firmware 3.33.707.151
-Radio 1176A.3504.OOU_1124A.3504.31_M
-S-ON
-Bootloader unlocked
-Rooted
I would to confirm some questions :
1. If I want to install this ROM can't I just simply install it to the latest version of ViperS 3.1.2?
2. Which one will come first flashing kernel (using kernel flasher) or installing ROM?
3. Will it be working using my current firmware?
Sorry for this noob question. Really appreciate your help, guys.

1)simply install viperS ROM 3.1.2.use 4ext recovery and before flashing enable smartflash from 4ext
2)just flash the rom and do as i said in first answer.if you have bootloops after installation then use the kernel flasher or
do it manually by extracting the boot.img of the rom,place it your adb and fastboot folder and type the command to cmd window
fastboot flash boot boot.img
note: connect the device to pc into fastboot mode(in the hboot screen should say fastboot usb)
3)yeap

Hope u.can help me with this.thanks so much.
Hello to all you phone guru's,
I am pretty much a noob, so go easy on me please.
Back story...I have been interested in electronic for years and though I am ok on the hardware side of things, the software and programming I struggle with, I am trying to learn but like any beginner there are hurdles at which I stumble and have to ask for help, hence my typing the post.
My trade is mechanics so if you would like any car advice and I can help my door is always open.
Anyway, I bought the sensation I have as a little project, so I could start learning while hopefully getting a nice operating phone out of it as well, it is operating as far as I can get it into hboot etc and it has Tea Win recovery which I can access but that's about it, it appears to have no OS on it, no image....nothing.
I have tried to follow several guides on this site concerning RUU's and images but have failed to have any success, I have ADB downloaded and drivers....the details I have been able to get off phone are as follows:
hboot-1.27.0000
radio-11.23.3504.07_M2
open adsp-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC-boot
jan 13th 2012.
unlocked s-on

C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
SH16GV810960 recovery

-------------------------------
So now I have shared my problem, please bring forth the solutions, to which I really hope there are some.
Is the phone dead never to be revived?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and any help is appreciated.
since you can boot to the bootloader your device is not dead
the only thing it needs is to flash a custom rom from recovery
i suggest to use 4ext recovery because you are on S-ON
follow only step 2 from here(flashing a recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
then download your desired rom and put it in your sdcard
boot to the recovery
enable smartflash from 4ext
flash the rom
done

Brilliant, thank you.
I will give it a go and post back if that ok?
One question, Will any uk RUU be ok, perhaps the latest ICS?

since you are on S-ON you can use only the one which corresponds to your region(same firmware or higher) and cid
Neeeeed more help please...
Unfortunately the already suggested ideas have not worked.
So here I am pleading for help again.
I have tried flashing a few roms, 2 of which have installed but not solved the problem and the rom apparently for my phone cid and mid didn't want to installed at all, I have tried flashing PG58.img but again it simply doesn't want to know, I can't s-off for the fact that when it comes to reboot it reboots into the problem which is getting stuck on htc screen then nothing, I've relocked and unlocked via dev, I've also tried editing cid in PG58 img then flashing...still no joy.
I am stuck completely, my eyes are boggling from the amount of threads and posts I've trawled through and im a gnats **** away from taking a hammer to the phone
Anyone out there that can help?
Solved....
Please close thread.

Of course you are correct sir, my apologies.
Tbh I thought that nobody would look at my post as im a noob...
Turned out to be that there was a rom (the stock one installed fresh) but no boot
So accessed the rom file copied boot.img and pasted into sdk platform-tools, which I am sure
y'all know is adb, so in fastboot usb....flashed boot boot.img a voila a phone that does not get
stuck on htc screen.
Have a wifi issue now though, which I think may be a rom thing....yet more investigation under way.
Thanks to rzr86 for the help and communications.

that's why i told you to enable smartflash from 4ext in my 2nd post
smartflash is doing exactly what you did manually(with boot.img)
in S-ON devices boot partition is still protected so recovery can't flash the boot.img while installation except if you have enabled smartflash previously
that's why for S-ON users 4ext is more preferable

Trust me my mate i tried what you said several times with 4ext and smartflash enabled only for it to start then abort install.
Hence my confusion and being stuck, i have no idea why it wouldn't install, i checked and double check that it was the right
boot img for rom but as i say it just refused to install boot img.

maybe you were enabling smartflash in the wrong time
you just enable it exactly before flashing a rom
