I think you unlocked your bootloader with htcdev, if yes you need to extract the boot.img of the ROM and after flashing the ROM you have to flash the kernel (boot.img) with fastboot, but next time search the forum, this has been discussed many times

Run the ruu without attached device, don't close the the window.
Search inside your temp folder for the rom.zip, copy it to another folder and close the window.
Inside the rom.zip remove the hboot.img and recovery.img.
Flashing with bootloader:
Rename it to PG88IMG.zip.
Put it to the root of your sd.
Reboot to bootloader and follow the instructions.
Delete the pg88img.zip, otherwise it will try to flash it everytime you access the bootloader.
Flashing from recovery:
Put it to your sd.
Wipe all partitions except sd.
Flash it from recovery.

....extract the boot.img from the rom you flash via recovery and put it somewhere in your computer like C:\Android
then when you are in recovery open cmd connect your phone using the cable provided and type adb reboot bootloader
your phone will reboot in bootloader.now type in cmd fastboot flash boot C:\Android\boot.img
then reboot your phone.

@Tectas he doesn t want to return to stock....

That's why the hboot.img and the recovery.img needs to be deleted
Without those he still would stay s-off and with the same recovery, just the system, radio and kernel would be reverted back to stock

ooo i didn t read that.....sorry man

then the only you have to do is flash a rom
and before flashing the rom enable smartflash from 4ext
follow the guide as suggested previously

which rom should i use?
when i try to flash the phone in fastboot mode with this one:
RUU-Pyramid-LE-ICS-35-hTC-Asia-WWE-3.33.707.106-Radio-11.76A.3504.00U-11.24A.3504.31-M-release-268334-signed.exe
i got an error: Security fails & update fails

a ruu brings the device into 100% stock as you bought it
in order to run the ruu you have first to relock your bootloader
that's why you have that error
but do you have a specific reason to use a ruu.exe?
if not then go to mike's thread in development section and download the rom
there is the stock or ARHD rom which is the closest to the stock
the rom it can be flashed from the recovery
and before flashing enable smartflash

[Q] Need HELP!

My device HTC Sensation
HBoot: 1.27.0000
Firmware: 3.33.401.53
Rooted
S-ON
The problem is I tried to flash a custom ROM (Viper, MIUI etc) but all of them get stuck on the HTC Logo screen.
Currently I have no ROM installed, tried the RUU but always failed to find the correct version. Going S-OFF will help I guess but I can't get that done without a ROM installed.
What to do?

Ur s-on so u will need to flash the boot.img before/after u flash a rom.
Boot recovery
Full wipe
Flash rom
Boot straight into fastboot
Flash boot.img
Reboot
Click the sensation help thread in my sig, guides there.

Also, make sure you have smartflash enabled in 4EXT recovery.
Note: 4EXT recovery is required for s-on users. Also, don't forget to wipe all partitions before changing ROMs.

After flashing proper boot.img either manually or via 4ext recovery, if your phone still gets stuck on splash screen/bootanimation, WAIT ATLEST 10 mins. First boot always takes longer.
Happy to help.

My Sensation won't boot after flashing MIUI V5 4.2.14

I'm on HBOOT 1.27.00000 and S-ON.
Now I've just flashed MIUI v5 4.2.14 and it won't boot after restart.
It stays at the HTC white screen.
Is there anyone kind enough to guide me how to properly install MIUI, or, at least back to the stock rom?
I'm desperately needing help here :crying:

I finally figured it out.
After flashing the rom, have to flash the boot.img (inside the rom zip file) as well, using the command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now I'm able to boot into MIUI and enjoy the new rom!
I never have to do this extra step with flashing my Desire HD, not sure why it doesn't work this time.
Anyway, thanks for your help

So I don't really need S-OFF to flash any custom roms that I want right?
I will just have to take the extra step of flashing boot.img..
Because I can't seem to work out S-OFF on my sensation despite whole afternoon of hard-works.
Is there an easy way to S-OFF sensation other than the paper-clip hack?

no need to S-OFF for flashing custom roms
and unfortunately there is no other way except wire trick
but you can always flash 4ext recovery and avoid the extra step for boot.img

[Q] Noob Needing Some Help

Hi,
Looking for some help with flashing ROMs
My phone is HBoot 2.15
Using TWRP v2.7.1.0
Every ROM I flash seems to install correctly but when booting I get the white HTC screen then the screen goes black and/or reboots (into a loop)
I'm using the HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit 'ADB Sideload a ROM' option to flash ROMs.
Phone was on Orange UK, CID ORANG001
Any ideas if I'm missing something simple?
Rob

I assume you're S-On, aren't you? Did you flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot after flashing the rom? Since you're S-On roms won't boot without this step.
