while entering recovery it boot looped...weird ...it seems like something got corrupted in /recovery partition
try this
extract the boot.img (choose it from the kernel of your liking) from ARHD zip and flash it via fastboot
command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then reboot and see..if that didnt worked
then probably you need to format all the partitions again and see..
to do that you need to run RUU (you'll lose your data this way)
i assume you are supercid (as you are SOFF)
so get any ICS RUU ...
keep your phone in fastboot and run the RUU from your pc
(it will do a clean install of stock ICS but wont change your SOFF status..so you can install ARHD again)
hopefully this will solve the problem

Oi you have old firmware .i Think it came after running the RUU otherwise It won't be compatible with ics roms.. You need to flash the 3.32 firmware again.. Check the ARHD thread OP for the 3.32 firmware
Also if you already tried the above and still not working
Then flash a ics RUU .. after flashing RUU.. Try to enter the stock recovery (once you enter you need to press all three hard buttons to get options)
If it still bootloops during entering recovery means.. You might have bad blocks in the internal memory.. Which is a hardware issue
Confirm/try the above.. In the mean time I'll try to dig further

[Q] 4EXT Recovery touch won't install anything...

Hi everyone,
My battery is dying but for the moment i don't mind,I tried to fix the trouble by formatting/wiping everything in the Wipe/Format menu andnow my 4EXT Recovery Touch won't install anything...
The only things I can reach are SD Card, and the Recovery. What kind of files do I need to make everything right ?

Yes, and the i get the message "installation aborted"...
Now i'm even unable to go into recovery mode
EDIT: my device is now recognized as "***Unlocked***" but i can't go neither into the recovery mode or go further than the HTC logo when normal booting.
I tried the adb tools to flash a stock rom but my "adb devices" list is empty (even with every driver installed)

It's think the first thing you should try is to re flash a recovery via adb/fastboot.

Some details:
- I wasn't able to reflash the recovery via adb (the operation succeed but nothing changed)
- After the RUU process my Sensation relocked itself
- the RUU process took about an hour (and solve my random battery drops)
- Everything's fine now, i have a stock sensation and will avoid to change something ANYMORE

[Q] Htc sensation xe with beats audio in a boot loop

Before you say anything i just want to state that i have been on my computer for over 4 hours trying to fix this issue but nothing seems to work. I have had my phone for a while now and while im not a complete noob at the tech with it i wouldnt say i have a very strong understanding either. So the phone was given to me by a friend, already rooted and i have had no promblems with it but today i tried to flash cyanogenmod(?) and well alot of things happened.
At first when i finished it just kept resetting so i did a bit of researched and i updated the firmware(without supercid) note that i only know that i was meant to use supercid after my phone went into a boot loop
So anyways long story short i cant use supercid because my phone is in a continous boot loop and it doesnt get recognised as a usb thingo when i plug it in so i cant do those commands i need to do for supercid
so urgent help is needed !!!

reading your post i assume you are S-OFF
what recovery do you have?
try 4ext recovery if you don't have it and reflash the rom

Hi,
Which firmware did you flash?
Supercid is not a necessity.
Use Kohr-Ah's Universal firmware ,and your CID should be incorporated in it.
If not,you can write it into the info.txt

i flashed the 3.3 universal then when everything went bad i tried to flash stock rom 3.33 or something :s

Hi,
Glad it worked.
Your radio is now good.
Place a Rom on the root of your sd card,go into recovery,wipe the phone clean.
If you have 4 EXT ,then,format all partitions except sd card.
Install ROM.

Hi,
There is no need for large blue letters.
I can read small black ones.
How come you are showing "Unlocked" with s-off?
Did you use HTCDEV after you s-off?
For wifi fix,look HERE

ok.. try to re-use revolutionary to s-off.. if don`t work, change Radio!
come back with reply

Hey guys. I am having the same issue here after moving from one Elegancia Rom to a newer Elegancia Rom. I have tried different Radios, Kernels, ROMs and nothing seems to work. I have re-formatted my SD card and re-partitioned it and nothing. The only ROM that allows Bluetooth to work is the MIUI Rom. I've tried several Sense and Stock Roms and nothing works.
Wifi sometimes works after a reset. Wifi Hotspot sometimes gets stuck and I have to reset. Bluetooth just plain doesn't work. I have tried everything but using a different SD card. I am gonna buy a new SD card tomorrow and see what happens. I can't figure out what the problem is. MIUI is not my cup of tea.
Update - I just installed the latest build of CM 10 and my Bluetooth wroked but Wifi would not turn on. This is interesting.

It should work. Make sure it's enabled before flashing and that you do a full wipe.

Still bootloop.

Shouldn't affect it. Try an RUU (charge to 40%+ first) and then try again.
