[Q] New sensation owner neeeds help

Alright guys just got my sensation yesterday and already messed it up. I s-off and rooted, then I flashed virtuous ICS then I flashed the proper kernel for tmobile. I am now stuck on the white HTC screen. I can access hboot and cwm recovery but phone will not boot rom. I flahsed proper tmobile patch and still no go. I waited about 15mins after every flash. Am I screwed? What should I do?

This has always worked for me, no matter which ICS ROM:
1) Flash proper 3.32 firmware from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 T-Mobile is in there.
2) Superwipe
3) Wipe cache + dalvik
4) Flash ROM
5) Reboot

Do I need a tmobile ruu and if so the link on these forums wont download. it says free downloads for this link are being used.
Even so, can I use an RUU even if my phone stays stuck on the splash screen?
And about the backup, will restoring a backup fix the kernel issue as well?

[Q] Bootloop Sensation XE

Hello!
My HTC Sensation XE have gone in a bootloop after i rooted it. I've tried several ROMs, and I can't figure how to make the loop stop.
I'm able to go in hboot, and 4EXT recovery.

I want to use the HyperSensation rom, if u need to know that to help me!
Thx for answers!

Did you wipe before installing the rom? If not this is what is causing your issue! In recovery you need to do the wipe.
Hope this helps! The thank button is there for a reason!

Did you try putting a new rom on your sd card? I mean using a micro sd to sd? Then plug it in your computer if it has it?

If you mean putting a ROM on the SD card, and flash it via 4ext, then yes. Thats the only way ive tried to flash roms. Might that be the reason for the loop?

Radio?
Shoudln't the hboot say something about radio?
mine doesn't, but it I remember that it did the first time i went in Hboot.
If that's the problem, how can i fix it?

What custom recovery are you using?

4EXT

First thing first do the whole first Step of this guide to S-OFF your Sensation. Do it very carefully and follow all steps!. Don't get bored to read.
Then follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154
VERY VERY VERY CAREFULLY Find your CID and MID as the thread says (I recommend using the method 1. fastboot getvar cid
2. fastboot getvar mid). Then download the correct firmware from the same thread corresponding to your CID. The correct version is 3.32 if you want to flash ICS roms. Just find the correct one to download.
Then follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=966814&stc=1&d=1332793798
to install a custom recovery. There is a file called "Recovery flash guide - READ ME.txt". Do as it says EXACTLY .
Then just download whatever rom you want, place it on your sd and flash it using the Install zip from sd-card option located in the recovery (access it by pressing volume up+power when the phone is turned off)
This is a guide for a specific ROM (Android Revolution HD) but the procedure is similar for any ROM. just flash different zip

[Q] Can't install new ROM

Hey, I have a big problem. Since I bought my HTC Sensation, I found troubles with it, because I always can see lag, phone shuts down without reason, screen problems and so on. So I decided to refresh my phone by rewriting it's ROM. I did everything what was written in the the tutorial, byt when I install a new ROM, phone is booting and restarting, booting and restarting and it doesn't turn on. Do you have any ideas?

Hi,
Look HERE
Read this guide carefully.
Follow it to the letter.
It will help you to :
1.install new 4EXT recovery.
2.upgrade your firmware to 3.32 or 3.33 and ,then,
3.install new rom of your choice.

Thanks guys. You helped me a lot. I installed a new Rom.

[Q] Firmware 3.33 but no roms boot properly after installation.

Hi Guys, I've been using KGS Utility with much success up until the last stage (trying to load a ROM).
I have S-Off and firmware 3.33 yet whatever ROM I try to install it never boots (had a few infinite reboots, and a few stuck on the tMobile l oading screen, not it's stuck on the HTC white screen
I'm currently trying this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2035591&highlight=cyanogen and have followed the instructions to format and wipe using 4ext. The phone still reliably boots into the bootloader using voldown+poweron.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong? The searches I've done have all suggested double checking firmware # and make sure you're following the mod instructions (wipes, etc).

what does the botloader say ?
UNLOCKED or JUOPUNUTBEAR ?

Hi, tried 3.32 tonight, installed successfully (says revolution now instead of the number, as you said earlier) then did a cache clear + davik clear. Same exact issue. ROM installs successfully but on reboot it makes an odd windows noise (normally the beepboop, but this is like beep*flutter*boop) and gets stuck on the white HTC boot screen indefinitely.
