(help!!!!)Htc sensation boot loop

So today i rooted my sensation and everything was running perfectly until i downloaded a rom on rom manager. When the rom finished (miui) i clicked on it and a pre-installation window came up. It gave me 3 options, back up existing rom, wipe data and cache and wipe dalvik and all i checked was wiped dalvik. Now when the when it boots up it just shows me a white screen with the htc logo on it then turns black and repeats again. Please i need help urgently!!!!!

Pull the battery, put it back, and boot into hboot (Vol. Down + power button) tell me what it says

You needed to supercid first. Now run ics ruu which will wipe all ur partitions any will install stock Rom and recovery. Then supecid first. When you install any different Rom always superwipe.

how would i be able to supercid if i cant even get to my home screen?

1. Remove your sdcard (because you have a PG58IMG on it and I don't know which one).
2. Boot into bootloader and connect with adb and enter the following:
Code:
adb devices
[COLOR="Red"]make sure your device is detected[/COLOR]
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
[COLOR="red"]wait for it to write[/COLOR]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
[COLOR="red"]wait to reboot into bootloader[/COLOR]
fastboot getvar cid
[COLOR="red"]confirm it reads "11111111"[/COLOR]
(now power off your device)
3. Now using a card reader on your computer, delete your current PG58IMG (because I don't know what you have on there).
Download the 3.32 firmware from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
Download the superwipe***.zip from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
Place them on the root of your sdcard and put the card back into your phone.
4. Now boot into bootloader (power/volume down) and wait for it to detect the firmware. (volume up to accept) wait for it to flash and then press power to reboot when it prompts.
5. Power off, remove sdcard and delete your PG58IMG on computer, re-insert and boot into bootloader and select recovery.
Select and flash the superwipe***.zip
Select and flash your MIUI ROM
***NOW REBOOT INTO YOUR NEW MIUI***

not sure posted with phone here is link

Ok thanks for all your help i have done the supercid and now it has no more boot loop but there is another problem. I have s-off and revolutionary but when i do a root check on Root check basic i says sorry this device does not have proper root access. I was wondering why i do not have root access. thanks

If you are installing a custom ROM, such as ARHD, you are automatically rooted.
Why not do this?

Rom go on past step 5 on my post and flash a new Rom after update your not rooted just s-on

Flashing the correct firmware is not a big deal. Just download the correct file (you can find the version number somewhere in the thread of the rom) and flash it via 4ext recovery.

No its flashed via fw, make sure you use one with the correct cid

Flashing the firmware is REQUIRED.. How is it not a big deal?

If he updated to ICS then unlocked wouldn't the firmware already be the 4.32? If not, then do that.
Did you use super wipe before installing? Correct me if I'm wrong but aokp and cm is not compatible with super wipe but needs to use recovery's wipe all data option before install?

This should work perfectly fine on any ver. of ICS.
Make sure to wipe cache and super wipe / factory reset after installing Cyanogen.
You may get stuck on boot screen still.
Just power down into CWM and wipe cache and data again then reboot,
Works flawless for me on 4.03
Thanks please

Tried HTC One X All-In-One Toolkit it said done but S is still on

with all in one tool kit you won't bring S-OFF
from this thread try to flash this recovery.it is better than cwm
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 (only step 2)

I used HTC One X toolkit, but it wouldn't S-Off as I had hboot 1.29.0000, therefore couldn't use revolutionary method. In this instance you can s-off using a paperclip, some insulating tape, and running the ControlBear software. To find out how to do this, type the following into YouTube:
JuopunutBear S-Off HTC Sensation.
... That will show you how to achieve S-Off which will unprotected the nand storage to write enabled so you can flash a new ROM.
See JuopunutBear website for instructions. You can find it by typing:
unlimited.io
... Into google.

or you can use the guide from our forum in dev section

because you are S-ON when flashing a rom it doesn't write the boot partition by itself
the only thing you have to do is enable smartflash from 4ext recovery and after flash the rom
or
you can follow extra 1 step in the link i provided you in my first post

now asking for update I ok that phone eventually boots up then says unexpected UI error and screen goes blank. I cant get anything transferred to the phone as the pc isnt seeing it
Is there anyway to get a recovery on the phone so I can load a rom.
Juopunutbear backed up my images but have no idea how to get them back. Before the wire clip trick the phone had Super-Threading-Rom-v1.2.1 4ext recovery it seemed better than my old clockwork recovery
If this isnt bricked what rom would you suggest and how do i flash it

[Q] [q] help me please, phone stuck

Hello Everyone
First of all i would like to thank all of the community members for their continious help and support. I am having the following problem with my phone [HTC SENSATION - HBOT -1.27.1100, RADIO -11.24A..., please have a look and let me have your suggestions as how to rectify it to get my phone back to me ---
- Viper rom 1.35 was installed for quite a long time, it was working fine.
-i wanted to try a new rom so as usual i made nanodrop and tried to flash a new rom x,y,z////.
-everything seemed fine, i didn’t liked the rom after flashing so i went back to 4ext backup and opted to restore....a usual process....
-after restore, what i did is, after restore is completed i went to wipe cache/delvik cache and cleared it. and then i pressed reboot........
---not everything screwed after that....,my phone is stuck at the boot screen......
tried again and again....., i then flashed viper1.35 fresh> reboot> same problem> screen stuck on boot
- i though maybe this is due to error in the firmware so in flashed the latest PGM.... firmware 3.33 i guess> then full wipe> flashed new rom----same result
- i tried 5 other rom types which use to work fine and smooth before that....but everything is stuck on boot screen.....
I couldn’t figure it out whats the problem...>>>>??????/
any guesses and solutions

[Q] Help needed, deleted Rom but device is still S-On

Hi guys
i have a bit of a problem
i came from HTC desire
and though i was doing the right steps until i got struck
what i did was
i installed Su in my official rom and installed Recovery (TWRP)
then i went into recovery and wiped everything (i forgot about Security)
now i am unable to install any rom due to S-On
i can only got into recovery
That wire trick doesnt work because it needs the rom installed but i have deleted it
Any idea would be great
This phone is brand new
but i follish did this to it and now its almost junk
Thankx
My CID is HTC__044

If you are s-on, you need 4EXT recovery. Enable smartflash (under tools menu). Wipe dalvik+cache and reboot.
Look here for 4EXT recovery and download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20015407

But which rom to use ?

There are so many awesome ROMs in the development section of this forum. It depends on your preferences. I use albino's ROM because it is fat, smooth, and fluid.
Here's albino man's ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37121632
It's CyanogenMod 10.1 based on android 4.2.2
Sent from my HTC Sensation

Thankx again
one last question
Due to Phone been S-on and original rom been completely wiped off
other roms keep bootlooping
can albino man's ROM be installed even with s-on ?

Yes, as long as you enable smartflash on 4EXT recovery, any ROM can be flashed.
In other words, to make your phone stop boot looping, just enable smartflash in 4EXT recovery.

Ok
good news my phone is detected in sensation XE all in one tools
Bad news every time i flash 4EXT from it the phone doesn't boot to recovery

You can't boot to recovery? Try booting to bootloader mode and then going to recovery.
Sent from my HTC Sensation

no no
i mean i can reboot to recovery but even after enabling 4ext smartflash i can boot the system
the htc logo goes on and on and on

Make sure you wipe dalvik+cache. If you are changing ROMs, then you need to format all partitions.
Also, make sure you have firmware 3.32/3.33 when you flash ICS/jb ROMs.
