My dad asked me to root his HTC Sensation after seeing my HTC Sensation and all its rooted glory... Well his phone had a different HBOOT. Mine was 1.27.0000 and his was 1.28.something maybe 0000? Well anyways so my HTC Sensation was left S-ON and I just Enabled SmartFlash using 4Ext and mine booted fine. His however I did S-OFF and both our bootloaders are unlocked and both are rooted.
I tried installing a custom ROM (same on mine) and now his Sensation is in a bootloop... The custom ROM in question is Elegancia - Sense 4.1 v3.1.0
I feel like it might be because he was running Gingerbread (I believe) and I was running ICS. However he loved the custom ROM I was using so is there any way?

Since the previous ROM was Gingerbread, the firmware would have been the older one. Just update the firmware to the latest 3.33 and the bootloops should be gone (if not try reflashing ROM after firmware update). There is a guide as well for updating the firmware.
Check the thread of the custom ROM you tried to install, it should state which firmware needs to be installed for this ROM.

Hi,
If you want help,then, it is important that you post CORRECT information.
Otherwise you could be given wrong information which could lead to brick.
If he was running GB,then, his hboot would have been 1.18
If this is correct,then, post the COMPLETE hboot page,so that you can receive the correct guidance...
EDIT:
I notice you also have questions in the Help Thread.
Please keep your questions in ONE place.

1. You dont have to but you may have to edit the Firmware package to add your CID....all details instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
2. I am on ARHD 6.1.1 - its amazingly stable and battery is brill. Only bug effecting me is for now you cannot have apps on SD card as it cause Sense to crash. I moved mine all back to phone and have no issues. No issues at all with camera - effects also works and did not on earlier versions - but I am not a major camera user.

Hi
Gotta say I agree with everything posted in#2 - I have moved to ARHD 6.1.1 and it is smooth as butter
Everything works and it looks amazing - I had thought that Sense 3.5 was good but this latest ICS is much better.
No FC's (other than when I had apps on my SD card)
If this is what the dev's can give us with a 'test' release then the official release (once dev-d) is gonna rock!!

I think confused i am right in saying this. Without super CID you will be fine with custom roms however, if you install an un-lockable bootloader you will not, at this time, be able to downgrade again afterwards. Perhaps somebody with more knowledge would be able to clarify this.
Super CID is very simple to perform if you follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and is easily reversable if you make a note of your original CID if you are worried about your warranty.
Do u guys suggest to just go to 3.12 or 3.24? With 3.12 u need to supercid correct?

See instructions above you dont needs supercid...but no harm by doing - supercid expands your options on ROMs, etc. Basically anything will work.
If you want lastest ICS release with Sense 3.6 you must have 3.24 - else wont work. Also 3.24 not backward compatable to GB or older ICS roms so if you want to go back to earlier Android version you will need to downgrade back to 3.12 or earlier. Not hard just the same as upgradingbut with correct firmware file.
Thanks

Now when i go to run the super wipe it says. Install aborted. System already mounted.

Take sd card out boot into bootloader. Highlight recovery. Insert sd card. Get into clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 go to flash super wipe and install aborted. Wtf?

Hi.. Just flashed my first ROM yesterday a complete NOOB but all went well, due to the good advice given in the various thread on this forum...
I'm rooted & supercid.
I also initially had problems with super wipe which i think turned out to be a non sensation version.
Not sure if its possible to tell but search the forum for a known sensation version.
Yea thanks man. Doing that now

Virtuous quattro is very nice. Glad i updated to ics.
Sent from my Virtuous Quattro A3 ICS HTC Sensation
Try out Virtuous Inquisition or Virtuous Quattro if you want Senseless ROMS. They are lso for the most part AOSP. I run them both and they are really fast. I also like the 1.5 GHz kernel. Really comes down to personal preference. People really like InsertCoin and ARHD, but they are not as fast as VIQ or VI, in my experience with them. I would also highly recommend CID, why not it is easy and everything will work.
Done all the above. Check sig

Hello Everybody
I am currently using Android Revolution HD 6.1 ROM in my HTC Sensation mobile phone.
I like the firmware for most part, but the browser flickering is annoying.
Eventhough i can use any 3rd party browsers, i want the built in browser to be less annoying.
Also i hate ROMs that deviates from the stock user experience.
Please suggest a good ROM or suggest a solution for the browser flickering issue.
Even Google Chrome Browser not working smoothly and is not yet available for me .
Update to 6.2.1 and the browser issue is fixed.
Sorry, i given wrong information.
I am using 6.2.1 it self.
But i haven't updated the radio firmware and have not installed the XE version and haven't erased data partition after updating it.
Someone told me that only in 6.2.1 XE firmware the browser issue been fixed.
But that required radio firmware update.
I'm pretty sure both versions of 6.2.1 required the updated firmware package as they were based on the new RUU.
So if you're successfully running 6.2.1 then you must have the updated radio etc.

If you have s-off, root and super CID, run the latest ics sense ruu then you will be totally stock.
This will lock your bootloader but you will still be s-off and you can download the superuser app for root privilidges and re-install a custom recovery.
I am running stock ics 3.25.401.101 from an RUU install and have remained completely stock except for a percentage battery mod and a custom recovery and everything runs very well.
As long as you are super CID you can always revert to any other stock rom using appropriate RUU's and unlock the bootloader again using revolutionary.

Hi
I'm very new to this custom rom thing, but not a complete noob...
I am curious if there are any custom roms that will work on stock firmware/kernel...?
I flashed Clockwork recovery and are using that at the moment
So far i have tried a lot of roms (mostly ICS ones) and the one ones working so far is one of the MIUI roms which i am using at the moment, but it laggs a fair bit.
I unlocked via HTC Dev tool and thus have a weird bootloader at the moment. Will flashing firmware remove this? will i be able to restore the original firmware from a backup i have already made?
Picture shows my current status.
Any suggestions for roms would be helpful.
Thanks
You are still s-on you need s-off to get root access. Get that one first. Then energy sense 3.5 is great stable Rom wich has stock kernal.

+1 on the S-OFF. When you have it and rooted and custom recovery, make sure you do a Nandroid backup ASAP and keep it safe.
I liked CM7, then again I like AOSP ROMs in general. I was dual running CM7 (GB) and Virtuous Inquisition (ICS) on 1.23.0000 HBOOT for a while. Now gone over to 1.27.1100.

3.24 Unlocked is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.12 is ICS 4.0.3 FW before that (Sense 3.5 Version)

Hm i tried it but when i was on gingerbread and wanted to update with a RUU to a clean stock rom, EVERY RUU i tried was "Wrong" and wasnt working...
So i keept the stock ics rom, without superuser and s-off, but 4ext is still there....
so i think i have to keep it, it should "damage" my warranty , or am i wrong ?
