Assuming you have a working adb setup installed on your pc (if not follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152148)
1. connect your phone to pc
2. extract the boot.img of your roms .zip file and place it in your platform-tools folder (or where fastboot is located on your system)
3. type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" (on your phone it should read "fastboot usb")
4. type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
5. when finished type "fastboot reboot"
and you are ready to go.
Remember since you are s-off, there is no need to have smartflash enabled, so disable it in your recovery...

Wanna ask something again, everytime i went into recovery to install a rom and kernel, it went to boot twice until phone went into boot animation screen. Is it normal ?
All i know is that it would only happened if i i'm on s-on, i'm s-off, and everytime i try to disable smartflash on recovery, it went enabled again

Yes , unzip the Rom to your computer , download fast boot folder HTC one xl, copy and paste boot.img from the Rom folder into fastboot folder on desktop. Now full screen fast boot folder and and move mouse pointer off any files and hold left shift and right click in empty spot on folder and choose open cmd prompt here from menu. It should open up cmd console with fastboot adrress. Place phone in fastboot mode on bootloader screen and hookup usb phone to comp. Next in command prompt type fastboot flash boot boot.img and press enter .

I've done it both ways and it doesn't really seem to matter, but it is usually easier to do it before, as it is done in fastboot, and it is easier to get into recovery from fastboot than the other way around.
Where do I go from here?
Flashed the boot img from GUI flash on the preceding rom. Did the wipe and installed from the sd card file I have there with roms listed. Thing went fine. the Cyanogen circle came up and booted to the "updateing apps" that went fine now its stuck on "unfortunately , the process com.android phone has stopped. and ok below that.

You can follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982442 to downgrade your hboot to 1.09, then you wouldn't need to flash boot.img any more. But you have to be very careful. I bricked mine half way through it, but managed to unbrick it finally.

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.

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

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

But unfortunattly i tried most of the things.

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...

actually you type the command from pc

extract the boot.img from the rom and place it in your adb/fastboot folder

then connect it to pc
now in your pc navigate to the folder where you have adb and fastboot(i assume you have installed sdk tools)
in that folder press shift + right click
you will see an option open a command window here
then a black window will appear
in that window type the command and press enter

i replied in the other thread
Does S-on and S-off matter for this issue?
Hi,
I am facing the same issue, my Sensation z710e is stuck in Cyanogenmod boot logo. following are the details.
bootloader unlocked
s-on
rooted
cwm recovery installed
tried latest CM10 for pyramid devices
I didnt try 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' command yet but i would like to know if s-on matters, my device is already rooted with cwm recovery.
I am having a similar issue as well. I have followed the instructions in this thread [ROM][STABLE][Android 4.4.4] CyanogenMod 11 with 3.0.16 kernel [July 18, 2014]. I have followed all the steps including doing a full wipe, flashed the ROM zip, gapps zip, and the aroma installer for the flash kernel several times with the same result. My screen keeps getting stuck on the white HTC loading screen.
Currently I have restored my phone to my previous ROM using a backup through 4ext recovery (v1.0.0.6 RC2). My HTC Sensation 4G T-mobile is unlocked and rooted with s-on. I have smartflash enabled on 4ext and my ROM is currently stock android 4.0.3. I did search the above mentioned thread for similar issues and a potential solution but none of the things I tried worked.
I would appreciate any help on how to fix this problem. If you need additional information I would be glad to provide it.
Tried another re-install today and everything worked fine, I guess the 5th time is the charm? I still don't know why it didn't work the other times, I did the exact same thing each time.
Hello, I had a MIUI ROM and I flashed a new version , doing the wipes and flashing it, but after the reboot, I see the HTC logo and nathing else, only the black screen.
In my bootloader appears "unlocked", saga pvt ship s-on rl, hboot 2.00.0002.
I tried to flash others ROMs and it happens the same, black screen after the HTC logo.
Thank you.
Did u flash the boot.img after flashing the roms? Since ur s-on u need to flash a rom then boot straight into bootloader and flash the boot.img then reboot. The boot img is inside the rom zip.

The Linux / ubuntu method
I had the same problem and followed the advice of the previous post this is how I did it:
1. First I made sure the fastboot programme was in my home directory
2. Then using a compression program I extracted the boot.img file from the "cm-11-20141214-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip" rom. I also extracted it to my home directory (same directory as the fastboot program)
3. After installing the Rom and Gapps on my phone via TeamWin Recovery I immediately rebooted into the bootloader. and selected fastboot
4.I connected the phone via usb cable to my laptop.
5.On my laptop I opened a terminal for commandline
6. I entered the following command:
"sudo /home/simon/fastboot flash boot boot.img"
After the flash was successful I rebooted and CM11 is now working. I suppose the windows meathod follows similar principles.
Or use fastboot adb on windows.
