Dear Friends,
I have HTC Sensation, I have just rooted my phone and whiped everything in ClockWorkMod then installed a custom ROM, then i rebooted the phone and it stucked at booting.
My HBOOT version is 1.27.0000
My S-ON
Then I again downloaded another ROM and installed it after whiping everything, again the phone stucked at booting.
I have tried 5 times with different ROMs but my phone stucked at booting.
Can anyone help me please.
Best Regards.
You have to install the 4ext recovery. And enable smartflash in it. So you can flash roms on s-on

Hi, do you have the Sensation bootloader drivers installed?
If you haven't, boot into the bootloader and turn your network connection off. Then open Device Manager, right click on "Android 1.0" and update the device drivers manually to the location of the Android SDK > Extras > Google > USB_Driver. (Making sure the SDK is installed already and the USB drivers downloaded from the menu)
Then connect your phone to the computer when the phone is in FASTBOOT USB mode. Open a terminal/cmd window in your working folder (if you don't have one you can download and extract one from here
Then extract your boot.img file from inside the ROM (don't extract the ROM or delete the file though) and place it inside the adb folder you just downloaded.
In the cmd/terminal window, type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then the ROM should boot properly when you reboot back into the system.
You can then install 4EXT recovery from Google Play.
or use step 2 from here to flash 4ext

Hello all,
A friend has a HTC Desire S. He tried to install some stuff on it like new rom, HBOOT, etc. Now the phone can boot only with power and VOL DOWN. I can enter also in recovery but from there I can't install new rom to boot in it. Also HBOOT is ver. 2.00.xx not sure the last digits and there is S-ON also.
Any idea how can I fix it?
Thank you in advance.
Is the recovery CWM or 4EXT? What happens when you try to install a new rom?
If you're S-ON you have to flash the boot.img with fastboot after flashing your ROM :
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Extract it from your ROM zip and put it in the platform-tools folder of the SDK. Go in this folder then Shift+Left click --> open prompt command here
Then write the code above. Of course you need to plug the phone in fastboot mode before doing that :silly:
Hello,
thanks for the answers. I was able to handle this. Mainly the issue was that Windows 8 won't detect the phone at all. I have other computer with Win7 and I made the all the needed there.
Here is what I have used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
Now everything is working.
Thank you all.
Hello,
I have a TMOUS Sensation 4G which is S-ON and bootloader unlocked. I tried to install custom ROM without flashing boot.img through fastboot and adb. I forgot to flash boot.img. Now I am stuck in the bootloader. I am using TWRP recovery and whenever I get to fastboot and connect the phone to PC , it is not showing fastboot usb. Unfortunately, my debugging is OFF. Is there anyway I can enable the debugging from recovery or fastboot. First I thought it was my PC issue as I am using win 8 USB 3. I solved the windows 8 USB 3.0 port problem from other site but still not working. I installed HTC sync too. Is it required to enable debugging to get fastboot usb? Please help. Thanks in advance.
Wait, you're flashing a custom ROM, why do you need to flash a boot.IMG?
And, I don't think it's possible to enable USB debugging from recovery/fast boot.
If you need to enable USB debugging, you need to boot the phone, then go to developer settings and enable USB debugging...

I had a sensation before which was also S-ON. I had to flash boot.img to install custom rom for that too. As I did not flash it, the phone was stuck in bootloader same as my new one. I managed to boot into one ROM which is MIUI JB, but it is stuck on "Unfortunately android has stopped" screen and do not allow me to get into the home screen.
First, do a full wipe if you're changing ROMs, second, wipe dalvik+cache if you're just updating a ROM, third, you need to enable smartflash in 4EXT recovery tools of you're s-on

Thanx man. I did all before flashing any rom. I do not have 4 ext recovery. I have twrp recovery. Also need to know how to flash 4ext as a zip file over twrp. Most of the custom rom thread recommends 4ext. As I do not have access to fastboot, so can not flash the recovery.img trough fastboot. I have been using custom ROMs in different devices for couple of years, but never stuck in this kind of problem. I flashed more than seven custom roms but in vein.

What does bootloader say when you connect to PC?
If it says HBOOT them press power button once.. If should take you to fastboot usb
Btw what you are doing is correct.

Do what ganeshp says, it will switch to fast boot mode if you press hboot with the power button.
Also, 4EXT is NOT flashed as a zip file in recovery mode, it is flashed in fast boot mode via command prompt on the PC.

I am hoping that I can find help out there. My phone will not load past the splash screen.
Over the last few days I have been trying to install a custom rom on my phone. I thought I was on the right track and now I have flashed it but it will not go past the splash screen. I would be grateful for any advice on how to get my phone back functioning. I would even be happy to have it back stock.
So my movements over the last few days have been as follows:
1) HTC DEV unlocked the bootloader
2) Used Hasoon2000's HTC Sensation 4G all-in-one to flash CWM.
3) Then the same tool to copy Prem Root onto the SD card and installed it via CWM.
4) Then used this post here to install JB Miui - http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/how-to-update-upgrade-miui.15424/
Then when I rebooted it is stuck on the Miui splash screen.
At every stage I felt like things worked well and now I have that sad feeling in my stomach because I have just realized how vital my phone is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did u flash boot.img after u flashed the rom? Did u full wipe before flashing the rom? Also with s-on users its recommended to use 4ext recovery and in recovery, enable smartflash.
Where can I find information about boot.img - so that is a no. I am installing 4ext now.

ok, so I have been looking at the boot.img part and I found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xVl2dBTnmI
I have followed it but still am not having any luck.
Still very lost.

open rom.zip and search for the boot.img
probably it is located in the kernel folder
place it in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
now boot your device to the bootloader and connect it to pc via usb(in the hboot screen it should say fastboot usb)
in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files open a cmd window and do this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then
fastboot reboot
done

as suggested before it is better to have 4ext recovery
and before flashing any rom enable smartflash from it(for S-ON devices)
smartflash it does exactly what i said above
Hello,
I have a big problem with my old HTC Sensation.
I tried nearly everything out of other topics, but nothing worked....
The story: Suddenly my Sensation rebooted and from then on it is stuck in an endless bootloop.
The bad thing is, that it was stock/S-ON at this moment.
Informations about the phone:
***UNLOCKED***
Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL
HBOOT: 1.27.0000
Radio: 11.24A.3504.31_M
-> I am able to install RUUs (3.33), but after installation i am still in the bootloop
-> I am able to unlock/relock the bootloader
-> I can install a recovery via fastboot, but can't boot into it => bootloop
Maybe you have got a hint to bring the Sensation back to life.
Thank you!
Since your bootloader is unlocked, you can use fastboot to do stuff. Most of the HTC Sensations have a HBOOT version that causes bootloops when flashing roms because their kernel doesn't seem to install properly when flashing roms. The ROM should consist of a file inside the zip, usualy in the kernel folder or in the root of the zip that is called boot.img. That is the kernel. First of all, you need to download the tools that have the fastboot and drivers included. Then unzip all of the contents into a folder. Run and install the drivers that that have come in the folder. Then go into the fastboot and adb folder. Shift rightclick onto the empty space of the folder and click open command window here. Then boot your phone into bootloader mode. You can do this using power button and volume down while your phone is off. Once youre in fastboot mode, navigate to fastboot using up and down volume keys. Then press the power button. Plug in your phone to your computer using your HTC sync cable. Then in the adb and fastboot folder, copy your roms boot.img into the folder. Then in the command window, type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' without the quotation marks. It should say sending and then writing. The process should take no longer than 20 seconds. Once done, restart your phone. Wolla, your rom should now be working properly!

actually he can't even boot to the recovery in order to flash any rom
so what's the point of flashing the boot.img manually?
You can use Sensation all in one kit v3 to unlock boot loader, read this thread for more detail
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497404
after unlocking boot loader, then go to this thread to download 4EXT recovery then use kit to flash recovery, remember to download image file, not zip file

actually first has to wipe and then enable smartflash
Thank you for your ideas!
But unfortunattly i tried most of the things.
@ kevinspl2000
I think normaly the RUU would also install the Boot Image.
But I also tried to manualy flash the boot.img out of the RUU via fastboot, but no success.
I am not able to flash a Custom ROM, because of no Recovery...
@stripeqn
The point is that I am not able to boot to Recovery...
I can flash the Recovery via fastboot, but I am not able to boot into it.
I tried different versions of CWMR and 4EXT but no success...
When I click on recovery, it just shows the HTC Logo and bootloop again

I think I have a solution. When I installed my custom recovery at first, I also got bootloops when trying to go into the recovery. What I did, is I refalshed the recovery, and then did fastboot erase cache. It wipes all of the cache, and fixed my bootloop before. Try that and see how we get on...

Rom isnt there at all meaning there is a bootloop? if the rom isnt flashed correctly it would show up in TWRP. before flashing any rom check for the MD5 checksum of the file. Also did you flash the flashboot_onesc2.img after the rom was installed?
You're S-ON?
If yes, open rom on you're PC. Find "boot.img". Copy it to another folder.
Put phone in bootloader.
Fastoot USB will apear when you connect to PC.
Open command prompt. "Fastboot flash boot boot.img"

What happened?
You need to have boot.img in the same folder as fastboot
