In order to flash ViperS 311 on HTC Sensation you have to flash kernel
311 which is included in the downloads section for vipers 311 (link
provided above).
Unfortunately, this "kernel updater" is making changes which are
preventing some programs to work. I want to remove ViperS and flash
other rom,
Unfortunately x2 this kernel updater made changes which are preventing
flashing other roms. In fact - I am struggling to boot 4ext
Therefore I want it out and revert to the software which I had on my
sensation before installing kernel updater.

actually you didn't flash kernel updater
kernel updater is being using to flash the boot.img of the rom so you can boot the rom after installation(if you are facing bootloops)
what to do now
flash another rom as you know
after that put the boot.img of the rom in your adb and fastboot folder and flash it via fastboot command(i assume you know how to do that)
if you need anything else report

Well, now I'm totally confused so let's start from the beginning:
1. I had some customised rom and decided to flash ViperS 3.1.1.
Flashing 3.1.1. is impossible unless you use this "kernel flasher" which
is included in downloads on the official ViperS311 thread. After
running this kernel flasher I managed to install ViperS311 but for
example LBE Privacy isn't working, my SatNav program isn't wokring,
other software isn't working as well.
2. Yesterday I got a message on my phone that there is an update from
ViperS 3.1.1 to ViperS 3.1.2 which I installed. Unfortunately, after
updating to 3.1.2 the wifi isn't working. I want to remove ViperS and
revert to other Rom like Asianic or any other. Now this is impossible
because of the changes that kernel flasher from ViperS made to my
device.
3. I want it out and get my phone back as I need it.
4. I have just flashed stock kernel and managed to install Asianic, but
after booting into the system and installing ES File Manager, it went
into a boot loop. Is starts and reboots non-stop.
5. I did used ADB but really long time ago so I don't remember all. I
also use mainly linux so I will prefer to revert it to the previous
version without the need for Windows use.

ok
can you boot now in the asianic rom?
if not then follow these steps
1)boot the device to the bootloader
2)connect it to pc via usb(in the hboot screen must say fastboot usb)
3)now extract the boot.img from the asianic rom and place it in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
4)open in that folder a cmd window and do fastboot flash boot boot.img
5)then do fastboot reboot
see then if it boots to the rom
Is superwipe recommended while coming from stock ICS or I should format all partition except SD Card? I am S-Off and 3.33 firmware.

Thanks for that rzr86, I'm starting to understand that now. It seems
that Kernel Flasher from ViperS 311 is a boot.img file with simple
program made by ViperS group that does what you mentioned, but without
the need for using adb and command line.
- However, I still don't understand what changes they made to that
boot.img to cause such complications... ?
Asianic installed correctly but than started crashing and booting in
loop so I replaced it with "Sense-o-Maniac" and this seems to be
working fine.
It doesn’t have any previous problems that I was experiencing on other
rom's.
I will report if any problems arise. So for so good.
I got bit shaky when I couldn't boot into 4EXT but it was just temprary

Superwipe is basically wiping all partitions except of SD Card. Always recommended :highfive:

All kernel flasher does is "fastboot flash boot boot.img" NOTHING ELSE, and u can use it to actually flash any other kernel you want on ANY device!

Hi ! I just joined this forum and might be this is my first question
I am quite interesting to install this ROM (viper) and would like to take a shot. But, I worry about this "kernel flasher" issue.
Here is my sensation status :
-HBOOT 1.29
-Firmware 3.33.707.151
-Radio 1176A.3504.OOU_1124A.3504.31_M
-S-ON
-Bootloader unlocked
-Rooted
I would to confirm some questions :
1. If I want to install this ROM can't I just simply install it to the latest version of ViperS 3.1.2?
2. Which one will come first flashing kernel (using kernel flasher) or installing ROM?
3. Will it be working using my current firmware?
Sorry for this noob question. Really appreciate your help, guys.

1)simply install viperS ROM 3.1.2.use 4ext recovery and before flashing enable smartflash from 4ext
2)just flash the rom and do as i said in first answer.if you have bootloops after installation then use the kernel flasher or
do it manually by extracting the boot.img of the rom,place it your adb and fastboot folder and type the command to cmd window
fastboot flash boot boot.img
note: connect the device to pc into fastboot mode(in the hboot screen should say fastboot usb)
3)yeap

Hi. I'm new to HTC Sensation XE. Yesterday I just decided to root my Sensation XE phone so I went to htcdev.com to unlock bootloader.
Everythings went well, I managed to install Clockwork Recovery to my phone and able to install Superuser.
Bad things happened when I try to install CyanogenMod 9 through Clockwork Recovery. I put the rom into SD card, boot into Clockwork and then wipe data/factory reset plus wipe chache partition. Then install ZIP from SD card.
After "install complete" i reboot my phone and now I see CyanogenMod logo looping and stuck there.
I still can get into Clockwork and try install other rom but the Cyanogen logo also comes back everytime and stuck there.
I just found out that I have to do S-Off ?? I have no idea what to do next.
My previous phone was Nexus S. I installed many custom roms on that phone without any problem. As far as I know if I can get into Clockwork Recovery, my phone has been rooted, right? So
What is S-Off?
Why I have to flash firmware??
ROM for Sensation compatible with Sensation XE?
I am not familiar with AROMA installer, is this the problem I can't install ROM successfully?
Now my phone in HBOOT says:
***UNLOCKED***

HBOOT-1.27.0000

First, you should check the guide on how to flash roms s-on or something. It says you have to push the boot.img in adb, i think.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
get the boot.img from the cm9 rom zip file
copy it to the adb/fastboot folder in your pc
connect the phone in bootloader to PC (phone should read fastboot usb after this )
now open command window in the adb folder and type this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
once it got success
type
fastboot reboot
your phone should boot fine now

SOFF: is security off ..once you got this off ..you can change any partition ..like you can install a custom recovery like cwm..over stock recovery ..and custom roms too
but ..HTC-DEV unlock ..is a alternative provided by the HTC ppl ..where when you do unlock ... recovary partition and partitions to make a custom rom work ..got unlocked ..thus this way you can flash cwm and thus custom roms ..
firmware:
to explain that ..think like this ..the complete phone is
hardware + firmware(radio +hboot/bootloader + some others ) + recovery (stock/custom) + ROM (system +data + boot)
now to have a ICS rom ..you need to have ICS firmware ..thus ICS radio (to have good signal) ..and ICS compatible bootloader to have ROM up and running
(remember if you have HTC-Dev unlocked bootloader you cant change the radio and hboot/bootloader)
as you are on ICS priror to doing HTC-dev unlock bootloader ..you are fine now ..as you already got a ICS radio (starts with 11.2x ..in settings->about phone->more->software information->baseband) ..also the hboot/bootloader 1.27.xxx is of ICS one ...
so you are fine with installing any custom roms ...
now there is a little headache when installing custom roms ..via custom recovery in case of HTC-dev unlocked case
some how when you flash a rom ...via cwm..every thing gets flashed except the boot.img which is the primary component to get the phone booting ...so you need to flash the boot.img separately ...that i explained earlier
there is a good recovery which can avoid the extra pain too ..that is 4EXT and the feature is smartflash
to understand the functioning of this recovery
have a good read of this thread ...its for you

Thank you. That's explain a lot. Now I can boot into Cyanogen and everything is fine now. So one last question, Am I have to push boot.img via fastboot everytime I install a new custom rom? If so, what to do when dealing with rom with AROMA installer?
I tried roms with AROMA installer and the installation ends at "SuperWipe". Nothing seems to install to my phone.

yes as long as you have cwm recovery ..you need to do that ..for every custom rom
and
thats why im saying its best to have 4EXT recovery ..as most of roms are 4EXT recovery compatible ..and what more its base is CWM itself ..so what ever backups you made via CWM can be used in 4EXT recovery ..too (and also its touch recovery )
for 4EXT ..recovery ..check the above guide step #2 for installing the 4EXT recovery
step #3 ..which has an amazing feature ..which will be quite useful to you ..(smart flash)
step #5 ..which makes the smartflash permanent

Hey guys, I have tried to install Cyanogen 9 and I'm having the same issue described here - I get stuck at the Cyanogen 9 screen.
Can I get some help? I have tried to reinstall the boot loader as described but that didn't work.
I have also tried to reinstall the rom and that didn't work either :/
I'm really worried and would appreciate any help.
My phone is also a sensation XE I have rooted it and my recovery works with the 4EXT.
Thanks!

you may have to flash the boot.img manually
that's why it's not booting
in order to get S-OFF i need to install the Boot.img?
i cant just install Stock FIrmware (if possible)
and unlock Bootloader"?
S-OFF is a different story
i suppose you have already unlock bootloader
what fw do you have?
can i take Customize Rom Install it via CWM then install extract boot.img from Zip install it via Fastboot?

yes you can do it via cwm but i suggest you to install 4ext recovery.it is better
As you have cwm your bootloader has been unlocked.... Fastboot or 4ext recovery with smartflash enabled

Did you take a nandroid backup before flashing custom ROM? if yes then restore it, if no then that was silly
If no then there are 2 things you can do:
1. Flash a GB ROM then S-OFF using revolutionary.io method
2. Flash a 3.32 or 3.33 RUU then flash custom ROM
Out of the two I would go with no. 1 because it will save you a great deal of headache later on because revolutionary S-OFF is easier and more user friendly than JuopunutBear

Hey you guys, my friend dropped her phone and it went into bootloop. She was using some old ARHD Rom. She then wiped her phone somehow (not sure what she did). I ended up installing the insertcoin 2.3 (sense 4) rom I am using on my phone but its still stuck in bootloop. I can access the 4ext recovery.
Bootloader info is:
Pyramid PVT Ship S-Off RL
HBOOT - 1.27.1100, Radio - 11.24A. 3504. 31_M
OpenADSP - v05.6.0.2226.0.0418
eMMC - boot.
Please any help on how to get it back to stock or any running rom would be much appreciated.
We need more details .....which kernels did you flash ??
I didn't flash any kernals separately, just the one that came with insertcoin 2.3.

That has all the information about the rom I flashed.

I flashed a RUU through the rom.zip. The process seemed to be stuck at step [4] System for quite a while, kept unzipping and updating over and over again. It eventually completed but now I'm stuck in bootloop with a large BEEP sound after "htc simply brilliant" screen, then phone reboots and have to pull the battery out. PLEASE HELP ME
Did you install stock kernel ??
Because some roms need specific kernels which only work on the Rom and your going to stock so its not gonna boot

IS the Phone S-OFF?
This step is extremely important, because we are not s-off and there is a problem with creating the "boot.img". T-Macgnolia explained it nicely:
When you use HTC Dev to unlock your bootloader it does unlock the Recovery, System, and Boot partitions to allow your device to write to those partitions and not just read those partitions. But there is a catch, if you want to flash a custom recovery you have to use ABD fastoot commands to flash it. When you flash as ROM in a .zip file via Recovery, it only flashes the System partition. You then have to open the .zip file and extract the boot.img and then use ADB fastboot commands to flash the boot.img to your boot partition. If you do not you will still have the boot.img of the ROM you was using before you flashed the New ROM.
Now let me explain the boot.img a little so you know why it is so important. The boot.img does just what thee name implies, it is what boots the Android ROM on your device. Now let me explain this a little further, the Android OS runs on top of something called a Linux kernel. This means that your bootloader boots the Linux kernel and the hardware of the device. The Linux kernel then boots the Android OS. The kernel is also the connection between the hardware and the Android OS. So you see if the kernel is not compatible with the system that is on the system partition you will have troubles like Wifi not working or other I hardware reliant functions. So when you flash a new ROM and you are HTC Dev unlocked you will have to flash the boot.img for the ROM or you will more than likely have troubles.

There are 2 ways to enable smartflash, one is a temporary way inside the 4EXT recovery itself (only for first time!) and the second way is permanent, through the 4EXT application.
The permanent way can only be enabled if your phone has ROOT! It's impossible to do it when you are going to flash a ROM for the first time.
Once you have flashed your ROM you have to install the 4EXT application and enable smartflash through it, which is explained in Step 5.
3A. Enable 4EXT Temporary smartflash
Enabling this is as simple is getting into the recovery and enabling it as an option.
NOTE: You only need to do this right before flashing your first ROM, so you should skip this step and come back here when the guide tells you to.
Disable "Fast Boot" on your phone.
Code:
Settings
Power
Untick "Fast boot"
Turn off your phone
Hold the Power AND Volume Down button until you see a white screen which says: "Fasboot".
Navigate to "RECOVERY" and select it, you should now boot into the 4EXT recovery
Select "Tools"
Scroll Down and select "Enable 4EXT SmartFlash"
Again, you only need to do this ONCE, once you have flashed your first custom ROM and enabled permanent smartflash, you don't need to this any more!

The phone is S-Off but now it says "locked" on top in purple where as it used to not before. Also should I flash kernel before or after flashing RUU rom?
Sure thing .......
Do you know how to get the stock kernel from the ruu ?

Hi,
The RUU contains a stock ROM ,recovery,kernel,firmware,and radio.
It should be the only thing you need to flash/run.
I do not know why the RUU did not work.
Now that it is "Locked", then you cannot flash an RUU with version less than your phone's current version.
The RUU should reset all your partitions,(Except s-off), and restore your phone to stock.
If your current version is the same as the RUU,try running it again by doing it manually (section 4 in the guide)
Section 4 of what guide (sorry for being this confused).
Also tried flashing other kernels and got assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/newboot.img", "boot") error
I ended up reinstalling CWM recovery, don't know how to get 4ext with just the bootloader...if there is any way possible I'd be willing to try the Smartflash option.
EDIT: just some further info...can't get adb to find device even though it is in fastboot usb mode..any way to get that working?

Hi,
The guide I mentioned in my first post ( HERE )
Flashing a kernel will not achieve anything.
Using smartflash if you are s-off,will not achieve anything.

Still not booting, making a beep after "simply brilliant" screen and reboots constantly. I was able to get ADB to finally work. I also followed Step 4 from the guide but even after the RUU flashes completely the phone is stuck in bootloop.
Hi there.
2 things before i explain the problem: 1) Yes, I'm a noob and 2) sorru for bad english.
So, today I was trying to install a different custom rom because the previous one (official ICS) was too slow, etc..
My desire S was a branded one, unlocked, etc.
Now I have:
UNLOCKED
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.02.0002
RADIO-3831.19.00.110
eMMC-boot

After trying to install the custom rom (fallout 5.0) etered the recovery and do a full wipe and a format. After that I copied on the sd card the ROM .zip and flashed from recovery. Always seem to be good, but when the phone rebooted, it was stucked on the white htc one screen.
I've tryied lot of guides and tool s here, but nothing helps me (5 hours on the forum).
A very big help will be very appreciated.
Thanks guys!

Something appening now. I'm trying to reinstall the RUU ICS. Previously I cannot because I needed to relock it.
Now I need to know how to install the fallout without problems.
Do I simply flash it from recovery than flash the boot.img?
Thank you very much

yes.
flash your rom ->reboot into bootloader ->flash boot.img using fastboot command ->reboot your phone
every time you install a new custom rom, you need to flash the boot.img

I've done everything (flash fallout 5.0 and after that flash boot.img). Still stuck on htc one white screen
EDIT: still stuck also with an other custom rom

I think that I cannot flash any custom rom because (I think) I have to downgrade the 2.02 hboot.
By the way here the list of things I did with
RUU ICS, UNLOCKED, SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL, HBOOT-2.02.0002:
- recovery (cyanogenmod) > full wipe, etc
- install from zip file > fallout 5.0
- flash boot.img
After that everything seems good but when the phone reboot, it will stuck into htc one white screen (or black whit an other rom).
Thanks for help
EDIT: the only thing I want is to flash and test every roms I want, without having always some king of problem.
What command did you use to flash boot.img. Try to be precise rather than just say i flashed the boot.Img.

AW: HELP: I cant install any ROM (noob here)
To me it looks like you used the command "fastboot boot boot.img" instead of "fastboot flash boot boot.img", could that be the case?

Yep, maybe this is the reason of my fail. I think I lost one "flash"
I'll try later and let you know if everything is ok
So, I'm trying to flash the rom. I've wipe everything, than flashed the rom. Now I entered the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img". The prompt still show "waiting for device". What the hell?
"fastboot devices" didn't give me an answer same as "adb devices"
Uhm... Maybe I need to reinstall htc sync drivers? :angel:
Ok, nevermind, I needed to reinstall correct win7 64bit drivers.
So. I success with fastboot flash boot boot.img. The phone is still stuck on the HTC one white screen. FUUUUU!
EDIT: SUCCESS!
Just need to wait 5 mins!
Thank you all!
I'm not sure what I did wrong but I'm sure it's my fault.
Here goes.
I had an HTC One S (that I rooted using Hassoon's tool ver. 3.3.1). I go rid of it.
Now I got another one for my cousin. We decided to root it and flash a custom ROM.
I followed the steps in the tool up to where you flash your own recovery (which I did; TeamWin latest version from site).
While the phone rebooted we went and got CM10 (the monthly) and GAPPS.
The phone then started up but for some reason a warning came up saying we didn't have root and we had to finish installing SuperUser. We did. The phone rebooted. We put the new ROM and GAPPS in the internal storage.
Rebooted to recovery. Wiped everything except the internal memory (we did not back up) and installed the new rom. Now the phone is stuck on the HTC splash screen.
I tried following another thread here and fear I may have made things worse for myself. I downloaded the latest tool from Hassoon and ran the command "fastboot oem lock" in an attempt to maybe return back to a stock rom or something where we can UN-brick this phone.
Anyway I'm in over my head.. please help.
Here's the info.

Forgive me for being "slow" but..
Doesn't CyanogenMod 10.1 come with it's own Kernel?
If not then I may need a link directly to a kernel that I can download and then flash (I looked on the cyanogenmod website and the only thing I could find was how to build the Kernel in Linux).

S-ON devices with HBOOT version of 1.13 or higher do not allow kernels to be flashed through recovery. So even though you have flashed the ROM, the kernel will not have been flashed. You'll need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip file manually, boot the phone into fastboot mode then use the command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will flash the kernel manually.
