Your profile shows 2 posts, so you're new around this forum.
First, welcome to the forum. This is a place where you will get lots of resources about cellphones, especially HTC.
Second, you should read the forums rules first. The main principle is to self-help first - look for answers by doing a search. You should have searched for posts related to "4ext recovery" and ask questions there, or search for answers in the correct forum for your phone model. There is a search for your phone from the box "Type To Find Your Device ..." which appears on the top of every page, or use the "Search" for a more general search.
I noticed you also this as a [Q] in the Chef Central as well. That forum is meant for someone who wants to learn how to develop operating systems, not how to install.
Moving along, I'll try to help you along.

When you ask, it will also be most helpful if you give more information, like:
Is your phone rooted?
How was your phone upgraded from the original GB 2.3.3 to ICS - custom ROM, or HTC ROM?
What are the types of 2.3 ROMs you tried?
What you did (processes) when flashing from the 4ext recovery? (eg, did you wipe/format?)
The more information you can give about what you did and observe will help whoever is trying to offer help.
Hope this will help you along.

You can install that rom, but you'll need to learn a little bit about android, bootloader and so. You'll have to boot to the recovery and flash your current system with that one. Make a nandroid backup first. On Nexus S forum you'll have guides about this

Hello all!
Few questions:
1. Could any one list down What the procedures (from stock) are to boot with Custom ROM?
I had read lots of posts here, which made me much more confused thn. Sorry for being such a noob. I m not getting a clear picture of what needs to be done from start to have new custom ROM(say ICS).
2. And would my phone get FOTA updates with custom ROM?
3. List of some awesome custom ROMs? I could find loads in xda yet need the best.(Yes! it depends on person)
Thnx!!!

3 the Roms are all different and it happens do be. No one is the same. You have to choose by flashing a lot
Welcom to the forum
In the def section there is a guid to s off root and supercid
When you did that goto Mike's arhd thread in development and follow instruction for the firmware update
Choose between insercoin arhd or any Rom and flash.it
Good luck

HERE try my custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466917
the procedure are in there too and if u follow it precisely should be no problem
I followed the guide to S-OFF but i got "FAILED TO ROOT " message.
So I followed HTC dev steps to unlock bootloader. Now my device got unlocked yet S-ON since HTCdev procedure allows to unlock only certain features.
What to do next??
appreciate any help???
Current ROM on my device is stock v1.52.720.3 and HBOOT as 1.18.0000
I guess here is the problem, when can I expect an updated Revolutionary?

Well..I am currently using a generic (not branded) HTC Sensation with the Gingerbread 2.3.4 stock ROM. I was previously using a SE Xperia X8 so I'm quite a noob to the Sensation ..
So, I want to install a custom ROM to my phone and have been doing a lot of reading to get hold of a point from where to start. But, still I am quite confused as for what should I do prior to installing a custom ROM..For instance I can relate that for the X8, I first had to root the phone, unlock the bootloader, install a nAa kernel and finally install a custom ROM. But, even after doing a lot of reading, I still cannot find such a sequence (maybe I haven't done enough reading ) for the Sensation. I am so confused with S-On and S-Off, clockwork, unlocking and SuperCID and all those stuff .
So I would really appreciate if someone can help me out and tell me what should I do to install a custom ROM to my phone from the beginning.
P.S. - I searched for threads related to this topic but was not quite satisfied with the answers I got. That's why I thought of posting a new thread. Hope I haven't violated any thread rules.
Sorry for being such a noob
And thanks in advance!

1. You shoud unlock your phone and get s-off first
2. Flash custom recovery and backup your phone data first (use custom recovery)
3. Flash adequate firmware
4. Flash the custom rom.
There are very clear guides in the Sensation android development forum. You can find enough information and files there. Good luck and enjoy your phone flashing!

Sent from revolutionized HTC Sensation ICS
Hi All.
I'm an iphone hacker/Jailbreaker and i own an original iPad , iPhone 3G & an ipod touch 4.
But i lately bought an android phone (HTC Sensation XE + Beats audio) .. and yes,.. im a n00b at androids..
so i came to XDA Forum so i can have more knowledge about android ....
So . my phone was in GB , it was working perfectly . until i updated it to ICS.... Battery drains fast .... wifi is not working anymore ... when i connect to a network ... it automatically disconnects from it ..... (yes ,.. this is annoying) , but when i remove my SIM Card out of the phone ... wifi works perfectly with no problems..
So i heard about the "WiFix" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445766) which fixes this issue .. but it requires a rooted phone.
Here's my phone's details :
ICS 4.0.3
HBoot 1.27.0000
S-ON
Locked
So , i have some questions (because i don't wanna lose/brick my phone & have a try in the Android "world" , and also i'm a noob ) :
-Does Rooting affects my phone's performance / bricks it?
-If there's any rooting method available for my phone .... is rooting enough to fix this WiFi issue?
-i Heard about the "Android Revolution HD" and its battery mod....etc... but does installing/Flashing this OS to my phone is suitable for it? or just rooting it & installing the WiFix would be enough ?
Please Answer , any Help Would be Greatly appreciated .
As for rooting and performance yes rooting will affect it for the better! I was so surprised how custom roms are FAR more stable than stock! You get a smoother faster over all better experience with a custom rom. I don't regret rooting for a second. Its all about customization .you don't like something change it it gives wonderful freedom! Thanks to the developers there are so many choices to fit so many different tastes. Its wonderful.
Look in search and you will find a guide for your boot version. With your boot yes it is possible to root just a bit different from the usual way to s off.many people have been successful with the guide once you have rooted and s off if you choose you can then install a rom and mod if you like.

check the SOFF section from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716955
typically two methods
SON with HTC-dev unlock --then rom
SOFF --then rom (SOFF again two methods - with/without HTC-DEV )

to do so, you just flash a ROM through recovery. whether that be CWM (ClockWork Mod) or 4EXT touch.
pretty easy. as custom ROMs come pre-rooted, you won't need to worry about the rooting part. just the S-OFF thingy and flashing a custom recovery i previously mentioned.
Hi !
I am completely new to this so here it goes
I have been trying for some time now to root my HTC Desire but all the guides I find will either not work for me or have insufficient/expired links with stuff that they suggest to download and use.
I was looking into this one also with no luck http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902816
At the moment my phone is running the 2.3.3 android version and I believe I have to downgrade first to the factory version in order to root the phone? Or is that not needed?
Also the reason I am trying to do this is because I am not satisfied with the RAM available on the phone and I was thinking of installing the CM10_VJ_4.1.2_V3.1_with_GApps ROM instead. Has anyone to suggest a better ROM for the phone?
I would be grateful if you could help me through this.
Thanks in advance.
:fingers-crossed:
Hi you should try out this guide from the Desire Development forum: [TUT]Complete upgrading guide(root, unroot, flashing ROM & updates) which should take you through all the steps to root. I don't own a Desire so can't recommend any ROMs but in general everyone has a different answer to "which is the best ROM" so if you have a look through this list (up to date as of May) then try some ROMs out which you like the look of then hopefully you'll find a keeper: HTC Desire (Bravo) Index - Everything Desire is here! [2nd/May/2014 good luck
thx a lot I will have a look at this and hopefully not get back here asking for more!
