Did you enable smartflash? Did you make a Nandroid before flashing?
Get back into recovery, wipe everything except the SD-card, enable smartflash and flash Viper again.
Good luck.

Smartflash is an option in 4EXT. It's in settings. I believe at the bottom.

i flash viper again. and this time flashing done but phone stoped on viper logo on boot too.
i not s-off. might be it?
S-off is not necessary.
Give it some time. The first boot takes a lot of time.

do these steps:
go to recovery
format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartflash
flash the rom
done
the first boot takes 3-5 minutes
if fails then flash the boot.img of the rom manually

Are you serious? It's written so often here that even the lazy guys should have gotten it.
If you unlocked via HTCdev you need to flash the boot.img of your desired ROM each time you have flashed a new ROM.

i know that if you are unlocked by htcdev and you install a custom rom you must flash the boot.img to boot, does it also apply on every reboot but not flashing custom rom?
Nope, not on every reboot. Just everytime you flash a new rom you need to flash the boot.img

I too have the same proble. Stuck at HTC logo everytime i reboot. I have to flash boot.img. I had unlocked via HTCDEV.com
I dont have this problem with CM9 ICS, but I have this problem with Primo-S-2.1, Primo-S 3.0 ICS and Saga 3D v5.1.0.
Do any one have a solution..
PROXUSER do you know why.
Very strange, unheard of before, after every reboot? did you clear dalvik and cache partition before flash of ROM?
If you HTCdev then after every nee ROM flash you must flash boot.img

If you restore an old nandroid backup after flashing on a new ROM do you also have to reflash boot.img separately, or does 4EXT recovery take care of that?
yes, you have to flash it

Are you sure? surely if you restore a nandroid backup then that should contain the correctly restored boot partition and therefore you shouldn't need to reflash boot.img seperatley!?

Every time i Format data, then clear cache, clear Dalvik and then install custom rom. Still i have to fastboot boot.img everu time i reboot my phone
Ben, what you said is correct in case of S-Off phones. But for those that are HTC unlocked, the boot partition is not writable from Recovery, and is only accessible for modification via fastboot. So for S-Off users, recovery can restore boot partition, whereas for S-On HTCDevil unlocked bootloaders, the boot.img has to to flashed manually via fastboot every single time when flashing a new ROM, or restoring a previously backed up nandroid.
Hope that explains it.

Ya i got you but why do i have to fastboot boot.img every time i reboot my device in the same rom-Primos v3.0 or Saga3D5.0.1 (not while installing a new custom rom).
I dont have to fastboot boot.img everytime to reboot when iam on CM9 rom.

No, you don't have to flash the boot.img everytime you simply reboot... The flashing only needs to be done when changing a ROM, as the kernel has to be matched to the ROM you are flashing. For simply rebooting, this is unnecessary.

The boot.img needs also to be flashed with fastboot after a restore.
The recovery has no permission to write to the boot partition, because of this it doesn't matter if you restore or flash a new one, but the backup contains the right boot.img, recovery can read but can't write to boot.

write boot.img every reboot
i have the same problem.after every simple reboot phone need to write boot.img from fastboot.
also i havnt problem with cm9
To the Guru of this forum. After my last rom flashing my device is keeping booting into recovery :crying:. Is it briked ? If so my only hope is the unbricking project ? Thanks in advance.
What recovery are you running?
Can you use the power menu within recovery to boot into bootloader?
Also, please provide as much pertinent info as possible, ie: rom you flashed, firmware, s-off or s-on, locked or unlocked. With your description it's basically like saying, "my car makes a noise all the time. what is causing it?".
Its not bricked.If u can enter recovery
Sent from my HTC sensation
Sorry you are right:
What recovery are you running? 4Ext
Can you use the power menu within recovery to boot into bootloader? yes
The device is HTC unlocked with S-On.
Rom JBMIUI v4.1 2.8.31 R2.
HBOOT 1.27.0000
firmware 3.33.401.6
I've format everything but SD. Restored the most recent back up done today before flashing. Once it reboots HTC logo comes up once, black screen, HTC logo, 4Ext is coming up saying that smartflash it is set to update the boot partition on next system start asking if this should be removed.
I've downloaded and installed again PG58IMG *different files using bootloader
I've founded a 3.33.401.6-Unsecured-Boot.img,+Root+Busybox zip file that can be installed via recovery but it did not help.
At this point I need a bit of help to look into the right direction and I'm not sure that Unbrick_Pyramid is the right way.
Thanks again.
Try turning off smartflash and flash a 3.33 stock rom to see if it will boot.
What was your last working setup, and what were you trying to install?

Hi. Manage to flash a stock 3.33.
It stopped to reboot straight into recovery.
Sits now on HTC logo now for about 10 mins. I plan to let him run for 1 hr and see what happens.
Was thinking to install CWM on the basis that could be a 4ext recovery issue, toughs?

If you can install clockworkmod that may help.
Tge device isnt getting the message that it has already booted into recovery once. So something may be jacked up with 4ext.
Clockwork may bypass all that when it doesnt know what to do with that signal to run smartflash.
Worst case scenario...put a full pm58img containing a rom and recovery on the sf card and flash that through bootloader.
You should still be able to get to bootloader as the device looks for that option first.

And did that help? Are you able to get into recovery without errors now? If so you should be able to flash a fresh version of any ROM.
Try that first. Get any ROM. Flash it. See if it boots.
If you have successfully replaced 4EXT I will bet a fresh flash of a ROM will now boot.
Also worth a shot is replacing or upgrading the firmware, as that could be what's sending the phone into recovery on each boot (though this is less likely that 4EXT just being broken)
Flash a firmware PM58IMG like 3.32 or 3.33 and see if that helps.
But for starters, put a fresh ROM on the SD card and flash it with CWM. (BE SURE IT'S A ROM THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE 4EXT!!)
Once you've got it all fixed you can switch back to 4EXT. I have a feeling it was just the copy you were running that got botched. The software itself is solid and stable. A new copy shoudl work fine now.
CWM v5.0.2.0 was installed fine.
3.33 firmware installed once again.
Using this I've installed ROM that I already did in the past w/o luck, they all sit on the HTC logo. Is like the initial boot sequence is broken. Is boot.img part of the firmware or ROM ?
Trying to download some additional ones.
Thanks,

The more details you give, the better the answers will be. Don't consider any detail too small.
What do you mean you installed ROM's that you had done in the past? Do you mean you are trying to restore a backup made with 4EXT?
That won't work. You need to flash a fresh version of the ROM after wiping.
Also, CWM won't install some ROM's that you may have used in the past. What ROM are you trying to install?
The HTC logo that first pops up when you hit the power button is part of the firmware.
Make sure you do a full wipe of everything but the SD card from within CWM. Get whatever's causing the problem off that way. Then flash a fresh install of a ROM from scratch.
Hi.
I did not use any backup only fresh ROMs: ARHD, Elegantia, but also stock ROMs I could find.
I've tried also some PG58IMG with ROM included.
Cheers.

- re-lock bootloader via fastboot oem lock
- apply stock ROM founded in this list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
- rebooted fine
I guess that HTC RUU had some superpower and erase and installed whatever file(s) were corrupted.
Now I'm on stock 3.6 - fw 3.33.401.106 - radio 11.76A.3504.00UU_11.24A.3504.31_M

What recovery are you using? The HTC Sensation unlocked by using HTC Dev does not let you flash kernels through recovery, except for the 4EXT recovery. In order for ROMS to work you need to use the 4EXT recovery with Smart Flash enabled. To do this in 4EXT, go to tools and press enable Smart Flash. This behavior will only be temporary, but here is a more in depth guide that includes how to make it permanent: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861.

My phone is S-ON and I'm using 4-ext recovery. Until today I used several custom roms and I didn't face any problem. Lastly I flashed android hd revolution rom and I enabled fastboot.
Couple hours ago I decided to flash Elegancia rom. I enable smart flash then I did full wipe as always. Flashed rom, reboot. But my phone stucks on first white screen (green htc thing on the screen) I tried to flash bruce's cm10 and android hd revolution. But it's still same. What am I going to do?
