Hi Guys,
Got a bit of a problem, got a sensation xe and tonight i did the s-off and rooted then tried to put a new rom on but it just bootlooped so went to recovery and did a restore and all was ok,
rooted it again and put the PG58IMG back on did the update then it just went as far as the beats logo and looped.
i tried to get into recovery but it wouldnt go and just kept saying no image or wrong image every time i tried, i read some similar threads to this and so eventually i took out the sd card and then got back into recovery but doing a restore didnt work,
took the sd card out and using the pc deleted the PG58IMG which i thought might be causing the problem, tried recovery and it started again but on rebooting it just bootloops again, can anybody help me?
Need to know exactly what you did at the time of flashing? What steps have you done and what ROM?

Ok i followed the guide on here....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 got s-off and root.
tried to super cid and couldnt get it done anyway got s-off and rooted put the PG58IMG in root updated and then took it out of root then tried to put the darkforest sensation xe ics 3.2.1 rom on, got bootloop then went to recovery and did a restore, everything was then ok.
Checked the phone and it was unrooted so did another complete backup looked to see what might be wrong and i thought i had put the wrong PG58IMG on so i went and put what i thought was the right PG58IMG on updated it and then rebooted and it went into a bootloop.
Tried to do a recovery but would not allow it it just kept running through "no image" then "wrong image" then "no image" and so on.
Tried to get into recovery but wouldnt move down so after reading a similar thread i pulled the sim and got into recovery selected the first of the two restore options and it was restoring from cwd rebooted and it started on a bootloop again going to the beats logo this time.
Thank for your help btw.
Forgot to add it was the revolution system. Thanks for any help!

To install ICS roms you need an additional step. Before installing the rom you should supercid and install the new ICS firmware. You can find the link on the second line of darkforest sensation xe ics 3.2.1.
If don't want to supercid follow the instruction here and download the firmware package for your CID (3.24, revolutionary or normal).
Install the new firmware.
Remove the PG58IMG from your sd card
Install the ICS rom.

You don't root with PG58IMG, that's for the custom recovery. Have you installed the su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip file from the guide?
Hi, yes i have the su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip installed and have removed the PG58IMG from the sd card, but as i say the thing is just boot looping after the beats logo and i would like to find out the next steps to get things back to normal?
Thanks grandelama can you tell me my next move to get back to normal and out of bootloop?
What ROM do you currently have on your phone that doesn't boot? Stock or Darkforest or something else? I'm not sure what rom you restored from the backup... If you restored the Darkforest rom and didn't install the correct firmware as Grandelama said, it will get stuck in a bootloop. If you did install the firmware, try reinstalling the Darkforest rom.
Otherwise, to get your phone working, just do a full wipe in recovery and try to install any gingerbread based rom, for example Android Revolution HD 3.6.13 from here. It should install fine and get your phone to a working condition. Then you can try to get superCID and install the firmware if you want to use ICS roms.
If you have Clockworkmod working and are going to install custom roms anyway, you don't need to worry about installing the su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip file, since all those custom roms are already rooted.
If you have completed without errors the points 1, 2 and 3 of the guide, and you can use Clockworkmod recovery you are now ready to install any NON ICS rom like Android Revolution HD 3.6.13.
Run the superwipe script in Android revolution HD thread, install the 3.6.13 rom and you should boot up allright
If you want to use an ICS rom your missing a step (new firmware) and you need to follow the instructions I gave you in the last post.
Ok thanks guys, i'll try that and let you know how i get on.
Dr Madman i tried the dark forest rom but it wouldnt load so went into recovery and went back to the original stock gingerbread then thinking i had put the wrong 58img changed it and updated but it just bootloaded so did a cwm restore and it still bootloads.
I'm still not sure just what to do next because i'm afraid i might make things worse.
I went into recovery then to backup and restore and then restore and this time restored the second image that was there in CWM it went thru all the recovery, asked to reboot and when i did it still keeps bootlooping.
Why is CWM not getting me back to stock?
Grandelama i'm certain i did what you suggested in your first post but got bootloop after that and CWM got me back but it hasnt worked this time!
Dr Madman,, i could do a wipedata/factory rest wipe cache partition and install Android Revolution HD 3.6.13 because its on the sd card but to be honest i'm just to frightened to at the moment, basically i wanted to go to restore and have it back as stock but it wont! and now i'm not sure which way to go?

If you did what I suggested you have installed the 3.24 firmware for ICS roms, am I right?
Can you tell which exact version did you install? Where did you download it from? The one from the Kohr-Ah thread...mike1986's version or what?
If you installed mike1986's version without Supercid first you will bootloop with both ICS and Gingerbread roms.
yes
Yes i am certain i did but not sure which one, heads all over the place with this, anyway i will check and get back to you.
Thanks.
Grandelama i think? this is the one i used......DOWNLOAD 3.24 Revolutionary: http://goo.gl/82UpA
MD5: 74e67609f67c3ad6ab94cdb89f19f2fa
Is there a way to find out for sure for you?
Thanks
Do you still have on your pc the zip package you used? If that's the case you can find the md5 of your file and with that you can know which firmware package you installed.
Maybe it's a stupid question, but can you tell me which is exactly your CID? What is the output you get with "fastboot getvar cid"? Are 100% you sure you installed exactly the firmware package for your CID?
Grandelama, firstly thanks for your help, i have a hero that i have rooted and had at least a dozen different roms on from 1.6 thru to 2.3 never had a problem but its been a while and this xe is it seems more complicated, either that or my brains going (more likely) anyway the CID is HTC--001 and the MID is pg5813001.
I will look and see what i have and let you know.
The phone i take it is not yet bricked??? so i really dont want to do anything to screw that up(unless its too late?)
I ran restore and got back to normal, should have left it at that but didnt and cant understand why it wont work this time, i thought thats what it was for.
Anyway i will get back to you with what info i have and thanks again
no, not now 100 sure!
Htc driver 3.0.0.007

Hi,
i had the exact same problem and yesterday i solved it. I tried to flash the latest InsertCoin ICS ROM and failed to first install the new Firmware. When i realized this, i did it but forgot to check the CID, wich was not in the FW-zip.. so.. my phone just bootlooped, came to the splashscreen the rebooted. Your phone is not bricked.
This is what i did to solve it:
First i got Super-CID wich you can read about in this thread: [Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on .. it took me about 30 sec to get Super-CID, its very easy if you just read the text.
Then i flashed the new Firmware (3.24.401.1 RUU) that you can find here [DEV] HTC Sensation & HTC Sensation XE firmware | Partitions Info | [22.01.2012]
After that i just flashed the ROM like before and voila, it worked.
Hope it helped some.
Hey, first time posting something on this forum but to all devs reading this thanks alot for everything you do!
And Thanks to anyone who can help me!
Now my problem is as following,
My stock rom is RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.21.401.10_Radio_1.06s.50.02.27_2_10.08.50.04L__release_271119_signed.exe
I followed this guide to unlock the bootloader and get root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
I used this recovery "Official CWM of koush (HTC One S)" (both toutch and regular has been tested)
Then i downloaded MIUI at first and flashed that(full wipe), it installed fine so i rebooted.
Once i got passed the htc boot screen everything went black, no boot animation.
After that i tested some more Roms, ParanoidAndroid and AOKP Milestone 6.
The exact same thing happend with and exeption for AOKP where the toch keys turned on.
I also noticed it showed up as a removable device in windows from time to time when plugged in (dont if that helps).
After that i restored my one s to stock and then did all the steps again but that yeilded the same results.
I have no idea what the problem is and im hoping its something that has an easy fix and im just to dumb to see it.
If you need any more info just ask, and again thanks for any help!
Before flashing rom through CWM, did you flash boot.img through fastboot. Every rom comes with a boot.img that must be flashed through fastboot when not using TWRP.

just use twrp and problem solved.
CWM IMO sucks in comparison. Not to mention the level of support with TWRP is so far and above ANYTHING you will get with CWM.
i followed a how to on here to flash the cm10 rom onto my htc one s, all was going well until it stuck on the boot animation. i have searched and tried everything but with no joy. it has got clockwork on it and says that it cant mount sd tried pushing rom with adb the only thing i have not tried is ruu as i cannot find orange uk ruu.
if anybody can help i would really appreciate it and i apologise in advance if this is in the wrong place

Did you flash the boot.img through fastboot? That seems to be the most common reason people get stuck at boot animation.
I just got this phone and I think I screwed the pooch?
I followed the tutorial for doing S-Off and then rooting and installing CWM which all worked. I created a backup for my Sense OS and then decided it was time to put a new rom on so I copied the .Zip for Cyrogen Mod9 and installed it but when ever I tried unlocking it it would freeze and then reboot so I decided to restore the old one and read more. I read that it needed the right firmware so I updated to 3.33 Universal and then installed Cyrogen Mod9 and now it still has the issue and if I restore the old one it just shows the htc screen then reboots. How can I fix this?

Hello everyone!
As the title said, I got a bootloop after trying to install Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean.
How I did it:
1. Installed Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean and Google apps for CyanogedMod 10.1 to my computer and transfered them to my phone's root.
2. Made a backup of the current version.
3. Installed first the ROM and then Google apps.
4. Rebooted my phone and now I got the bootloop.
I know that I didn't wipe data/cache/dalvik cache, that's probably the problem. I tried to resotre the backup I made but I get an error that says "MD5 mismatch!". I've also tried to wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and then install it again, I still get the same problem. The file isn't corrupted because I downloaded it several times and still same problem. I also tried to install it twice in a row but that doesn't work either. I can get into the bootloader and recovery menu.
Phone info:
HTC Desire S
HBOOT-2.00.0002
S-On
Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
I'm pretty new to this so please give easy steps on what I could do.
Thank you!
As your phone is still s-on, you have to flash the boot.img (from the new rom) in fastboot every time you install a new rom.

Sorry for the noob question, but how do I do that?
EDIT: I forgot to mention that it bootloops on the CyanogenMod picture, not on the one with the HTC logo.
Google it... It has been mentioned innumerable times on this forum....

dude, this is on the FIRST page of General forum

And your MD5 mismatch almost certainly means that you created the NanDroid backup, then renamed it or moved it.
Everything works perfect now! Thank you!
