I am unlocked, rooted, s-on and use armonra recovery. Nils business 3.6 was the first rom I put on my rezound and it worked great. I decided to try out nils sense 4.0 rom which also installed fine but would reboot every time I plugged in an aux cord. I decided to load my nandroid back up of my 100% stock rom but it boot looped on the verizon 4G screen. I decided to try sense 4.0 again, that also boot looped on the nils business screen. I wiped everything numerous times and still the same boot loop. The only rom that I can get to install and work correctly is the first rom I ever flashed, nils 3.6. Any ideas why I can get any other rom to not boot loop, even my stock nandroid back up?

How did you unlock? HTCDev?

I have unlocked the bootloader of my HTC Sensation and I rooted it, aswell as installed ClockWork Recovery. I was wondering if it is possible to install a custom rom such as CM7 without having to use revolution s-off.
I tried to flash cm7 through clockwork but it sits at the HTC screen when i boot. Any ideas?
Did you wipe before flashing the new ROM?
me too...
Unlocked with official guide, flashed cm, wipe all and flashed custom rom.
Stuck on boot with every rom...don't know why.
The only way TO boot is TO restore my nandroid backup
I bought a rooted rezound from a guy which had the ICS clean rom root. I wanted to resore it back to factory specs but then seen the NeWts-One-XXX which had the sense 4.0 with along with ICS 4.0.3. I installed the .zip file which it said was installed complete but now my phone wont boot past the htc ONE main logo. Can someone please help me.
Boot into recovery and reflash the Kernel. It is possible you flashed only the rom but not the new kernel that goes along with it.
Long time lurker first time poster. I had a Nexus One two years ago so I was here very very often.. Since I got my Desire S a year ago, I haven't been able to flash a custom rom OR S-OFF.
Unlocked with HTCdev, rooted, HBOOT 2.00.0002 (downgrading hboot never worked either), S-ON
Last night I tried again to get onto ICS (official RUU doesn't install either). I installed 4EXT touch, flashed recovery, had my ROM (Fallout) on SD ready. Rebooted phone into new recovery to find that is was still the OLD revolutionary recovery and not 4EXT. This was 4am so I thought I'd try the usual wiping + rom flash. It went through normally and said completed although the progress bar only got about 1/3rd before jumping straight to finished. Rebooted.. stuck at white HTC logo screen.
My issues are that I cannot install HTC Sync phone drivers without phone powering up to be recognised by the PC, AND I cannot turn USB debugging on for obvious reasons
My phone is veryvery important and I'm now scared I won't be able to get it working again. Please help me.
TLDR; stuck on White HTC logo screen, no Android installed, cannot see how I can install one, help!
If anyone could shine some light on what I need to do next, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance.. and afterwards
How did you flash the recovery? In fastboot? And did you flash the boot.img (also in fastboot) of the Rom you flashed?
You should definitely have read more before flashing anything...

For the 4EXT recovery I 'flashed' it from inside the touch app thinking that was enough these days.. naively. Had just been fighting with GF at 4am and was fed up and about to go to bed and in Revolutionary recovery so I thought what the hay, I'll wipe etc in here and use this to try and flash the rom.
I did not flash the boot.img. I goofed. I understand that but now I'm just desperate for any route back to a functional device.
I never stopped installing ROMs and etc on my old Nexus One but that was a while ago and everything just seemed to work. Desire S is being a nightmare.
Decide what you want to do.
If you want to upgrade the phone to official ROM - relock your bootloader and run RUU.
If you want to use custom ROMs - flash the recovery from fastboot and don't forget to flash the kernel from fastboot too.
I won't get into any more details, searching for the right info with these pointers will get you whatever you might need.
Thank you, I'm all fixed. Simply found an old 2.3.5 ROM and flashed and booted fine. Reason I was so stuck was because I had formatted my PC since last installing phone drivers so I couldn't do much hurdur
So tonight I began the process of unlocking my phone and installing a custom ROM. I unlocked my phone successfully with the toolkit and was able to get into recovery and begin flashing my first ROM (Cyangogen 10 most recent nightly along with the Gapps). However on my first reboot after flashing the room, I started to realize something was awry when after 20-30 minutes it was still on a boot screen. I proceeded to try and reflash the ROM 2 more times with no real change in outcome. Whenever I tried booting out of recovery I would get a warning stopping me saying that no OS was installed, despite having clearly flashed a new ROM. Okay, so as a last ditch effort I went into the bootloader mode and enabled fastboot so that I could try the RUU - which of course failed despite 2-3 attempts at using the utility. After the RUU failures I also noticed that my SD card would no longer mount unless I manually formatted it - which I finally gave in to and was able to load another custom rom (Jellybam this time) which also would get stuck on the boot screen despite successfully flashing. So now I'm basically stuck in a limbo land where no custom ROM will boot into the OS and the RUU to take me back to stock has failed. Any suggestions on how to get out of this? (I've read in other places that you can use fastboot to flash files in the bootloader but my attempts at doings this have also been unsuccessful - if this is the route to go can anyone give me some specific instructions on how to do it?)
Thanks in advance guys.

You know you also have to relock the bootloader before you RUU Right?
and if your on hboot 1.14 you have to flash the boot img separately from the zip(in the folder you put fastboot,adb,etc.)

I was forgetting to relock the bootloader, thanks man. Was able to go back to stock, restart the process and am now rocking CM10. This is why I love XDA.

Hello! I was looking for some help with flashing ROMs. I have had my A700 flashed with other ROMs before like CM and IconiaN, but for some reason, now it will only boot the stock ROM. I had CM11 on it and decided to go back to IconiaN. Well, it wouldn't boot. To try and fix this, I went back to full stock ICS with a locked bootloader and stock recovery and started from scratch. I've tried about 4 or 5 times, unlcking the bootloader and flashing CWM, but every time I try to flash anything other than an official update.zip in CWM, it just hangs at the splash screen with the animated Acer logo. I did have TWRP for awhile too, but I had CWM originally and I have it now. Thanks!

Hey guys! Nevermind! I went back to stock again and tried another ROM first before I tried IconiaN, and it booted! So I guess it was just the .zip of IconiaN I have. Weird too because I re-downloaded the .zip. Anyway, I'm good now!
