I got my HTC Sensation a few days ago second-hand, and it was already S-OFF and came with DarkSense. Since then I've been playing with a few ROMs, and after I installed ViperS and a kernel in it's hub (the updated Bricked kernel) I'm stuck in a bootloop.
I tried to:
- Recover a nandroid backup
- Wipe everything except SD card
- Install other ROMs/kernels
But it's still stuck
I searched the forums, and I came across some posts about SuperCID, but from what I understand that shouldn't be relevant for the firmware I'm using (the universal 3.33).
I also saw a post about smartflash, but that too shouldn't be relevant because I have S-OFF, correct?
Any help/suggestions are highly appreciated

Follow the instructions I gave here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37836634&postcount=3
After you get the phone booting again, install the TWRP recovery as it's the best recovery for S-OFF users. If you have any questions on flashing a boot.img file then feel free to ask

as long you can access to hboot no your device is not bricked
red triangle means that you didn't flash the recovery(or at least correctly)
flash it again and flash the rom again
best wishes

Hi,
I'm not too experienced but i've managed to root, s-off, custom rom and update faux kernel with a 100% working Sensation.
I got root following this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvg0i8in96M
When running Revolutionary.exe, it will download and flash ClockworkMod Recovery tool through fastboot usb.
That will give you recovery, update to 4EXT recovery, superwipe, flash firmware and then ROM..
I think that will work
Hi guys, in desperate need of help. I was updating my phone with a clean install of the codenamelungo rom and everything installed fine, but after i rebooted, it would just stay on the the first HTC screen. I've tried superwipe and reflashing, nandroid restore, different roms, different radio, different firmware but all with the same results. I am able to access recovery and bootloader. This is my current bootloader readings:
-Firmware-3.33-

if you still have bootloops flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command

Hello,
I'm trying to root my HTC Sensation and install a custom ROM. I've read dozens of thread's and I followed them, as far as I can tell, how it supposed to.
Now I am at the point where I should install the new ROM from my SD card (phone is S-OFF using ControlBear.exe). But that isn't going so well. I can boot in hboot and select recovery, after that the phone reboots and nothing happens. When I regulary boot my phone it stay's in the HTC splash screen...
Is it possible that I removed everything on my phone and cannot recover anymore? And if so, how can I recover from my stupid mistake

There is no old back up and there is no data on the Internal memory.
I can not do 'USB Debugging' to get ADB work, because there is no OS to set it on, and phone will not boot.
I have read many forums threads and tried many things and still im stuck at boot screen- HTC
There is a recovery ; clockwork mod recovery v5.0.2.0
How do i get my HTC work, don't care if its Rooted or Non- rooted.
Im sorry this is my first experience with Android.
Hope that you can help me.

Hey,
I have the same problem (up to the last digit)
What I found out is, that you have to relock the phone
Code:
fastboot oem lock
looks like:

Now we should be able to install a Stock ROM RUU - I am still looking for one that fits.
...and start all over.
What I did to get into this trouble:
- made some experience with an old Motorola Defy and a Samsung Galaxy S3
- got this HTC Desire S with german Telekom branding
- said: " oh no problem, I'll fix you old phone for you." <-- first mistake
- installed the drivers (HTC Sync)
- updated latest android SDK
- used fastboot to unlock <-- second mistake?
- installed ClockworkMod
- rebooted and recognized the T-Branding before the recovery screen coming up
- ignored it <-- third mistake
- OS crash

Maybe if you try running an ICS ruu which might work and stock.
Sent from my Desire S using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks
That worked!!
Relocken and then the right RUU
And the phone goes on!
I had to try 2 different RUU before it worked.
THANKS A LOT

Hello.
I wanted to flash from ViperS 5.2.1 ROM to Vipers 5.3.0 on my rooted and S-OFF Sensation, so here's what I've done:
-saved on my SD the zip for firmware (got from here htc.vi8.info/FirmWare-3.33/PG58IMG.zip), the one for the ROM (htc.vi8.info/ViperS/ViperS_C2_5.3.0.zip) and also the one of the Kernel (Overclocked_kernel_v1.5.2_by_SebastianFM.zip).
-had a backup with titanium backup
-reeboted on recovery and had a Nandroid backup and then rebooted.
-rebooted on bootloader where it found the PG58IMG.zip and started to update it. Before doing this I had

It started to update everything and asked me to reboot at the end, but when I did that I got stuck in the black screen with white SENSATION -and nothing more, so I had to take the battery off.
I've taken out the PG58IMG.zip file from the SD, so I've gone to Recovery and at least I've restored the Nandroid backup.
What was the problem?
With the restoring I've gone back to Boot 1.27 instead of 1.29 and in the phone, in Build number, I have 3.19.401.101 CL157254 release-keys.
What can I do for flashing the firmware, the ROM and the Kernel?
Tanks.

changing hboot version(firmware) it was unnecessary
besides that you returned to the official one
nevermind
just flash from recovery the vipers rom
you don't need anything else
also overclocked kernel is only for ics sense based roms
vipers rom is jelly bean sense based rom
Thanks.
I've flashed just the ROM from Recovery then and it worked.
Then I went back to Recovery for flashing also Overclocked_kernel_v1.5.2_by_SebastianFM.zip and PurePerformances™X_Stock.1.4.zip and MacroScript_v1_2_XT.zip and p_sensor_fix.zip.
When rebooting it stops again on the black screen with white SENSATION on it.
Again seems that the only way is restoring the Nandroid backup...
Any idea about what I should do?
Thanks as always.

@rzr86 gave the reason why... Do not flash that kernel, its for ICS sense roms ONLY. ViperS is Sense JB
