I bought a used htc sensation (TMOUS) from ebay and immediately rooted and s-off'd (using the stickied toolkit, and revolutionary.io respectively). I then updated my firmware to 3.33 and used clockwork recovery to install the CyanogenMod 10.1 Jellybean 4.2.2 - KANG. The ROM would load but it would freeze and soft reboot at the welcome screen, after I selected my language. I tried again with the PAC-man ROM and experienced the same problem. Then I tried again with Cyanogenmod 9.1 and this time the phone would lock up if I tried to pull down the notification bar or use any apps. In one of the ROM threads I saw that it might be an issue with the radio, so I tried an variety of radios but still have the same results or occasionally the ROM will get stuck at the boot animation. I'm currently using firmware 3.32 (downgraded to see if that would help), hboot 1.27.1100 and radio 11.23.3504.07 M2. Any ideas on why my phone just refuses to boot up?
Hi
Greetings,
Try ARHD or stock Rom and check

You may also try the installation using 4Ext touch recovery.
It seems Recovery is the culprit
Change it to 4EXT

I tried flashing 4EXT using the multitool and for some reason the phone entered a bootloop when I tried to boot in to recovery. I then tried flashing the TWRP recovery image through the multitool and it worked! After formatting everything and reinstalling the PAC-man ROM, I was finally able to get past that welcome screen. I bought this phone as a gift for a friend, and it is blowing my mind that this rom makes this 2 year old phone have newer features than my galaxy s3! Thank you again for all the help!!

Flash a new rom or reinstall the current one from recovery. That'll fix it.

Worse case you may have to do a full wipe
(hope you did a full backup first!)
I had this happen a few weeks ago - wiping cache did finally fix it for me. Try it more than once just to be safe.

Hi,
Need some help here with my HTC Sensation
Was initially running Insertcoin ROM 3.4.2. As Insertcoin ICS Rom have worked up till 4.4.0, I've decided to give it a try and flashed 4.4.0 on it, along with the new firmware that is listed on Insertcoin website.
Afterwhich, when I tried to revert back to 3.4.2, it went into bootloop. I have tried both by flashing the 3.4.2 rom and by recovery through clockworkmod. Both methods result in bootloop.
Please advice on this matter.

You must flash the old firmware if you want to go back to an older rom.
In every Thread it is writen that the new firmware only works for the new rom the older roms need the old firmware to boot.

You can flash a RUU of related cid or if you have supercid. This will restore your firmware too. After that you need to flash custom recovery again.

Hi there,
I've been flashing roms for more than one year now and never had a problem before (I never did a Nandroid backup )
I was using the Virtuous Inquisomething for the past month but I decided to try the Quattro version. Finding it too laggy, I decided to go back to the Inquisi... But problem, after flashing it, my phone keebs rebooting... Htc logo, shows the V logo (sometimes doesn't), black out, then restarts again. I tried different roms, HD Revolution, Light Rom, even the Quattro that I had before but my phone keeps rebooting. I flashed the Firmware to the 3.30, same thing. I wiped the dalvik cache, the cache and everything I could wipe but I have the same problem !
I tried to flash an original file, a Ruu but my computer can't find my phone because I can only access the ToggleUSB via the recovery
Do you guys know how to fix this? Anyone has a Nandroid Backup that I can use? (Tmobile - Sensation 4G? )
Thank you in advance
Curiously, have you ever superwiped your Sensation while doing all these flashes? There might be some residual files here and there that's just causing chaos inside the phone. D:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 Here's the link for ARHD's original thread which has the superwipe down toward the bottom of the first post under "Downloads" and you just flash it like any other file through the 4EXT touch recovery (if you're using that!).
Flash latest firmware.
Download and flash latest ARHD Rom.
Problem solved let me know if anything goes wrong

Thanks for replying. I did exactly what you guys said but... same error... Boots, write HTC ... Quietly brillant and boots again !
I even formatted my Sd Card :/ !
Anyone has a Nandroid Backup?
I see that you only updated to 3.30 firmware. Try updating to the final firmware 3.32 and superwipe before flashing a new rom.
i cannot boot phone into recovery nor can i boot phone normally... I had just installed Viper one S rom on my phone and rebooted into recovery because my wifi wasnt working , so i was just going to revert back to an old rom. After clicking reboot to recovery from Viper rom the screen just went white . I had to power it down manually, after powering it up it would stop at htc screen with the red development lines... tried to go into recovery and it will come up for a second then disapear then phone reboots.... any ideas? oh I also had installed Latest radio in CWM after installing rom.. I hear its buggy in CWM...
I had the same problem. Did you flash the boot.IMG in recovery or fastboot? If you flashed in recovery and its not supported by your hboot version. That could be the issue. Try re flashing the boot.IMG using fastboot. If you still cannot get it to work. I would try reinstalling a custom recovery manually and restarting the Rom flashing process. There are forums all over the place to help with that. Try twrp. Ps this is all assuming you are able to get into your boot loader.

Problem fixed. Don't ask me how lol. All I did was relock boot loader and flash stock ROM. Stock ROM would not load so I just decided to unlocked boot loader and phone rebooted fine. Recover works to.. crazy.

Hello experts,
Yesterday I tried to root my HTC Sensation XE! First I unlocked this device using the htcdev then u found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668276 and i followd the instructions and finished. In the HBOOT menu this device is still listed as S-ON but i downloaded the Rootchecker app and it confirms that the device is routed.
I am trying to update to the jellybean 4.1.2 using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009.
The cyogenmod bootscreen is stuck loading over 10min so i assumed that i am doing something wrong, so i restored it to the original ROM using clockworks.
If someone has any ideas please feel free to comment and remark.
Thanks =)
Use 4ext with smart flash on,
What it seems to me is with clock work it doesn't write the boot IMG. With that being said it would be stuck in a boot loop.

Then i select the install from sd > chose the zip.
i select the CM10 zip and install it and after i select the gaps too.
reboot the phone.
When rebooting the phone stucks the cyanogenmod boot screen
Okay. I had this same problem you are having when I first started getting familiar with flashing ROMs.
If you correctly installed 4ext recovery, go into your settings and select "smart flash on" this will allow you to flash a ROM correctly with out having your s-off. Try that and let me know.

When you flash another rom.. You should do full wipe aka 4EXT - wipe / format - format all partitions except sdcard
Then flash cm10 rom.. You will come out fine
