I believe this is a common issue either with certain versions of TWRP recovery, or when choosing to perform a fill wipe in the aroma installer.
Make sure you have a good recovery. (Read around for which TWRPs are affected.) Also do your wipe in recovery before starting the installer for the ROM, and dont choose to wipe in the installer.

i encountered the problem of corrupted theme of 4ext. im not sure how it happened. maybe because i flashed CM10.1 then returned back to ViperS ICS? not sure bout that. its not really a problem but its quite annoying to press okay every time i boot into recovery. hehe

Does the rom boot? If so just use the 4ext app to flash a new theme. That should overwrite whatever is corrupted. If that doesn't work reflash the recovery entirely. You can do that from the app too.
If that doesnt work comeback with a more detailed description of exactly what you get.

Phone shuts down after installing new rom

Until today I was using HyperSensation 3.0, decided to try a new ROM and choose BADOSP V 1.1 to test. After back-up/wipe cache-dalvik/format all partitions/installing ROM/reboot. The phone booted normally until the lockscreen showed up, then, immediately shutted down. Powering on again was met with the same results.
I did the process of wiping, formating and installing again in case I forgot something, and again the same thing happened. I tried with another ROM, this time with ViperS 1.0.1, and I got the same thing, power off after the lockscreen shows for the first time. Before restoring the back up, I tried installing again HyperSensation 3.0 and it works... As a last resort I installed a gingerbread RUU to start totally stock, and again... power off in the same place...
I reinstalled 4ext, updated the firmware again to 3.33 and restored my back up to have a functional phone again, but I cannot understand why is this happening.
Can someone out there chime in and help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I flashed super wipe but forgot about the kernel part. I'll try that now. With what Sense o Maniac your solution worked, Sense 3.6 or 4.0?
I tried with both Sense ROMs. Super Wipe/Install ROM with everything stock/Flash Kernel/Reboot but that didn't work either.

then the only culprit left is recovery ..
try reflashing it or ..update it to 1.0.0.5 RC (also can you check if you enabled smartflash (in 4EXT -> tools) ..coz that some times messes up for SOFF devices and make sure smartflash is disabled )

[ROM] CMX CyanogenMod 10

Hello friends,
Today I installed ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009 .
Before I made backup etc etc.
After ROM installation I installed gapps for JB.
All installation processes went succefully.
The problem is:
- phone is starting but handling on loading screen CMX CyanogenMod 10 and this "cosmic guy"
Did I do something wrong?
HW Specification:
HTC Sensation
Before ROM change: Android 4.0.3 (ICS) 3.33.401.106
Thanks in advance for all replies. (If I place this post in bad place, dear admin im sorry but I don't know enough forum structure. Please move it )
Best regards,
Mat

Did you flash the gapps right after the rom flashing?
Try to install them separately.
First install the rom then let it boot, set some things up and let it idle for some couple of minutes.
Then reboot and install the gapps.
That's how I usually do.

Well I think the 4EXT Recovery Touch is just a much nicer experience. It's slick, simple, but does so much.
I flashed gapps directly after CM9 ROM with no problems at all. After a factory reset/wipe in 4EXT Recovery Touch. Haven't had a problem there. Don't know about CM10.

if the issue is only with the boot loop stuck image then....
Just extract the boot image from the ROM zip file and place it in the adb folder on the OS partition then use fast boot commands to push the boot image to the device. it should work, worked for me.:good:

Well, once you're s-off you should install a custom recovery so you could install custom roms. I suggest 4Ext recovery (see my signature for the link) . After that you should Nandroid (e.g complete backup) you phone through the recovery. It will create a large file in your SD card which contains a full backup of your phone. Later you can install whatever rom you wish. I suggest you begin with Android Revolution HD - it looks like stock but it contains latest kernels, mods and tweaks.

[Q] JB Sense ROMs not booting for me

I've run multiple versions of CleanROM and also CM10, but anytime I install a Sense based JB ROM (I've tried Newt's, JellyBlam, and a few others), my phone gets stuck on the HTC boot splash, reboots, and enters recovery. I am on HBOOT 1.09 and Ive tried to fastboot flash the boot.img just to be sure, but it still doesn't work? I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, any clue what it is? Thanks in advance.

Maybe you have an init.d folder that is telling the JB ROM to overclock? Could check and delete that first. Otherwise you can double check the md5 of the ROM you're flashing to make sure its not corrupt. Aside from that it might be worthwhile to try a ROM like urdroid which allows you to flash the kernel during the installer.
Dunno man, your problem is a strange one.

Urdroid was another that i tried. It would get to the ROMs boot splash and lock there, but its the only one i recall that even got that far out of the 3 or so that i tried. where would that init.d folder be?
Either the directory of the /sdcard or /. I forget which as I have deleted it. But it should be a folder. Don't delete it if it's by itself.

Really sounds like you are not flashing the boot.img correctly.
Extract the boot.img from the ROM you want to use and install it with:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You're not alone....

I've been experiencing the same problem on my HTC Sensation 4G for the past couple years since I've had it. I have 3 HTC Sensations in my family and I've been playing around with all 3 phones during the last year. On my sister and my mom's phones, I'm able to install any rom (Sense-based...ARHD, Elegencia; and AOSP/AOKP-based...CM10, Paranoid Android, etc); however, on my own phone, after dozens of installs, trying all types of different kernels and roms, I was only able to install AOSP/AOKP-based ones. I've been running Touchcream ICS rom for awhile, then Paranoid Android, and currently JB Samsation V5 on my HTC and I love it. I'm really not missing out on anything, but it's just weird Sense-based roms just wouldn't boot. After some researching on the forum and experimenting with others, I've deducted that the reason could be very well my own hardware. :victory:
