After getting a new phone i decided to use my sensation as a testing mule for various roms, as i know how to flash, i have done it many times, especially when i first rooted , but when i tried to go from my then current rom, Codename lungo to albinomans 4.4 rom it wouldnt flash, i flashed back to CL and tried to flash Pacman, same result, no flashing. Now my phone will not flash any rom at all, i can only go to recovery, which says "Unknown Rom", I dont know what to as i want to also use it as a music player.

I have the same problem.It happened after I flashed Sebastian's ROM, Revelation, 2 days ago.
My phone is in the same state, Unlocked and S-ON, HBOOT 1.27 . Since it's S-ON I always enable SmartFlash in 4EXT every time I want to flash a new ROM, and the same I did when I flashed Revelation, 2 days ago, but something went wrong and now I'm stuck at splash screen; it shows up for 5 seconds, then turns black, splash screen again and so on.
I can't even restore my nandroid that I did right before flashing Revelation.

if you are using 4ext recovery do this
format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartflash
flash the rom
otherwise flash the boot.img of the rom manually

Do a full wipe except sdcard and then reflash. Post the results.
And before flash got to options (4ext recovery) and ensure smartflash is on.
This will work just fine (note: ViperS 3.1.0 available OTA).

Just to be sure, ensure:
You are htcdev unlocked s-on
You have 3.32/3.33 firmware (check using fastboot getvar version-main)
You chose full wipe except sdcard from 4ext recovery
At least wait 10 mins!!!
SmartFlash is on before flash
Don't choose CPU freq above 1782 in installation (dont overclock gpu too much either)
If you are still stuck, manually flash boot.img and see what happens.
This should work. Other wise try another rom (say, ViperS 3.1.0).

Check the md5 sum if that isnt the problem flash the boot image in fastboot mode.
If that doesn't work just try to s-off its better to do that since it gives you less headaches.

If this doesn't work either, it could be bad partition. Then (only as a last resort) do an ruu. That should definately fix your phone.

I decided to update my Dev unlocked Sensation to ICS, but had forgotten it was probably still on a Gingerbread radio. Now I have no working rom, and for some reason I am unable to flash the original rom (RUU) via the SD card method (PG58IMG).
My CID is HTC__E11 and therefor european roms from RUU should work, but I get the following error message when trying the sd card flash: wrong zipped image. In other cases it wont go further than parsing.
When i try to flash the RUU in ruu mode on the phone I get the following error: 99 unknown fail.
Unfortunately I cannot go back to the rom I was on before, since I dont have it anymore.
So the only thing I have now is TWRP recovery 2.6.3 and unlocked HBOOT 1.27.
Furthermore I am unable to see what my current radio firmware is. I want to flash a jellybean rom.
Does anyone know what to do?

Yes I am S-ON. I did try formatting all partitions from twrp, that didnt help. I also tried cwm, but that didnt help either.
My radio was finally displayed by HBOOT, it is: 11.29A.3504.18_M. I believe this is a ICS radio, so there should be no problem here. Unfortunately i cannot find the RUU that corresponds to that radio and trying to flash another ruu wont work.
To go to ICS I just installed the latest CM11 from Sultan, which works on my other sensation (which is S-OFF). I have also tried other roms, but they all wont boot for some weird reason. For every rom I do a full wipe.

If your s-on you need to flash the boot.IMG of your rom from fastboot straight after flashing your rom from recovery pal. But I recommend installing 4ext recovery and enabling its "smart flash" feature and this will do it for you try this and check back pal.

Got a wierd problem...
Actually Carbon 4.3 Rom installed - works so far
I'm also not a newbie and also linux user
All kind of geeky-stuff already done jailbreaked iPad2/ATV2
or custom Roms on GalaxyTab2, Nexus, HTC Desire, HTC Sensation
But if i try to update ANY rom based on 4.4 the Sensation hangs in bootsplash after flashing.
Did everthing usual, wipe/format partitions/clean caches even repartioning sdcard.
Googling hours after this problem in english/german forums but nothing useful.
Clockwork/TWRP/4EXT Recovery tried - actually 4EXT is installed and my favorite
Could it be a problem with HBoot 1.27 ENG S-OFF?
I had to install these former to change the bootsplash picture - with any newer it didn't work.

besides that he has mentioned that he has 1.27 hboot version
Yes, as i said:
latest 4ext 1.0.0.6 RC2 & hboot 1.27 ENG S-Off
4.3 Roms working, only any 4.4 ROM stuck after flashing rom and/or gapps in splash screen
so perhaps thats the problem with 1.27 ENG
