Hello,
I have obtained S-OFF and root for my sensation. My first attempt at installing a new rom was successful, and I used Android Revolution 3.6.1. Success, and I was happy. Now I decided to change to 4.1.2 and it hangs on the boot screen after installing the rom.
Can someone please tell me why 3.6.1 works, and 4.1.2 doesn't? The procedure should be the same, correct?
Thanks in advance!
Did you use the Super Wipe zip?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Yes, I used super wipe before installing each rom.
it might be your radio if you haven't updated it yet. thats the only other thing that could be missing. many people including myself have had successful flashes with 4.1.2 so thats not the problem. try updating your radio and super wipeing again.
Thanks for the suggestion. I updated my radio, but 4.1.2 still hangs on startup.
Did you forget something? Check Mike's tips and follow it. I flashed 4.1.2 four times today, it's ok.
Try another ClockworkMod Recovery. 4.0.1.4 from AlphaRev or 5.0.1.0 from ROM Manager is recommand in Mike's post. Mine is 5.0.2.0, just ok.
I followed the same procedure to flash 3.6.1 and when I flashed 4.1.2. For some reason, I can get only the first one to work, and not the other. I am certain both roms are working properly, but I was hoping to get some help as to why the one won't work on my phone.
Fixed: Let that be a lesson to you, remember to check your md5 checksum! Rom is now working perfectly.
I had faith in you the whole time been thinking about the possibilities all day
Thanks! Its all part of the learning experience I suppose.
Issues with kernel on 4.1.2, it has been superceded by 4.1.3, which is working fine and available now.
You did nothing wrong.

having problem flashing deamonspeed
after i have succesfully flashed deamonspeed, my sensation bootloops at the htc screen..im using the cyanogenmod7 rom....could that be why its not working?
Hi sensation forum...
I am new to sensation, but not new to android or HTC, as i have 4 different phones with custom firmware on them...
But the sensation give me a lot of problems for some reason...
I have tried ARHD 5.0.2 and Insert Coin 4.0.4, i have also tried Virtuous Inquisition v1.3.0 and HyperSensation CM7.1 v1.2.
The last one is not even ICS based...
All of them give me random reboot cycles...
I have tried 3 different radios also...
Nothing have helped me so far...
I still have a lot of random reboots...
(about every 2-10 min)
When i flash the firmware i use ARHD´s super delete script, but to be shure, i also format everything from within Recovery...
What more can i do here ??
Pleace,if your phone is stable, can you tell me exactly what rom/radio/kernal/ril you use...
My phone was rock stable with factory firmware....
Hey,
When installing roms on the sensation, make sure you follow the guides in the particular thread. It is also important to match recommended radios and rils that go with the specific rom. Make sure you are S-off and cid 11111111. When you are switching roms, you should only have to run the superwipe script, it will set all the partitions for you so that you can flash the rom you choose. Also, before you install ICS, it is recommended that you superwipe BEFORE installing the actual rom to prevent unwanted isssues. Before you do anything else, give me a rundown on what you are currently running.

I have exactly this issue.
I installed ICS Revolution. I had successfully got S-OFF, Installed ClockWork Recovery (updated to latest version), permanently Rooted & obtained SuperCID. I updated radio as recommnded by mike1986 in the ICS post, and wiped the phone with Revolution Super_wipe_Sensation first.
It seemed to run fine apart from Doplhin HD which refused to run properly (so switched to Opera Mobile). However I started to get random reboots.
After a bit I thought to try Insert Coin ICS instead.
I have noticed no real difference in performance and have the identical issue with Dophin HD (back to Opera mobile again).
However I also still have the identical random rebooting issue with this ROM. What else can I do?

As stated, I did that before installing Revloution's ICS. BUT I didn't do it before installing Insert Coin. Should I have?

I did that with Revolution as well as with Insert Coin this time around. Running the latest version
I'm having the same issue. Did a text book install of AHRD. Everything went super smoothly, but getting these reboots. I have tried to swipe everything, have the latest radio and recommended fw and keep getting these crashes. Not only it's driving me nuts but it makes the phone unuseable... I can't believe we're just 2 to have these problems... Isn't there some king of log we can pull to see what's causing the crash ?
---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------
I suspect it has to do with processor speed that's been tweaked in these roms, but can't seem to find a way to tune it back to stock on the ICS rom...
sorry for the late reply, been busy with holiday stuff.. anyhow, make sure you are NOT installing any mods that are not compatible with the current ICS build. I have had no problems switching between ARHD 3.6.10 and ICS 5.0.2. As long as you have s-off and CID 1111111, you should be good to go. When I changed up from 3.6.10 to ICS 5.0.2, I turned off my phone, went into bootloader, selected the option for recovery, then flashed the superwipe script. After it finished flashing that, it rebooted back into recovery. Following that, I went to install from zip, flashed the updated RUU, cleared cache and dalvik, then flashed ICS 5.0.1 and the 5.0.1 to 5.0.2 update. Everything installed smooth from there.

That's exactly what I did. Can't find anything different between your story and what's I did, up to when I switched to Insert Coin
I also don't think it's related to CPU speed. My phone is the XE model which ran at 1.5 Ghz on stock ROM and only did about 3 random reboots in 3 months; (now it's every couple of hours).

Good luck. Hope it helps. Let us know the outcome. My nandroid backup is corrupted so will need to do full wipe of my SD card and phone I think. Then add in a stock ROM

I'm still getting the reboot on the nand backup (OrangeFR), this sucks big time. Now I'm thinking it may be due to the fw I had to install to use AHRD (PG58IMG) and the new radio. This is where I'm lost. How can I return everything to standard ? If I understand well the ROM doesn't contain those files, they are separate ?
Was thinking that my random reboots were radio or firmware related.
Strange thing is mine have stopped, and all I did was reinstall revolution ICS 5.0.1 then upgrade to 5.0.2. Didn't even wipe first. So even my apps & settings all of which I had installed & configured since I had installed Insert Coin ICS, are all still there. Haven't had a reboot since.

I switched back to ARHD 3.6.9, did a factory reset+wipe, flashed radio 10.59 and all is fine, I'm somehow reluctant to try again...
I found a solution that worked for me... At last...
I am REALLY sorry that i didn´t answer here before, but i have been really bussy, and actually forgot all about it a few days....
NOW, i also thought that i had some CPU spped issue with the roms, becource i can actually get the same kind of reboot problems on my DHD when i run it over 1500 Mhz...
So i thought that i would lock my sensation to max 900 mhz, and then see what happens... NO change... Still random reboot... Strange...
I then installed a Android 2.3 rom, just to get my phone running again... STILL random reboots...
hmmm....
Now i was confused...
At last i tried to flash a different radio one more time...
I found a radio in some other sensation thread... Flashed it and now my phone works stable...
At least with Virtuos Inquisition 1.3.0... (Proberbly the 1.4.0 will also work, but i have not tried it yet...)
The Radio i had the problems with is the one from mike´s thread...
I actually don´t know why, as i have allways had great success with his roms and his releases on my DHD...
The Radio i use now is 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035-02_2...
But sorry, i can´t remember from what thread...
Ok, this is what i have discovered on this reboot issue...
I hope it make some sense, and that this perhaps can help other with the same problems...
Try turning your phone to recovery.Backup if you havent already....Wipe Data/Factory reset then turn the phone off....
Remove the back cover and the SDCARD.Turn the phone back on and see if it runs ok without the SDCARD, if it does reformat the sd using 4ext recovery and it will also align it.
I spoke too soon.
My phone didn't reboot for a day after I switched back to Revolution ICS 5.0.2 for about a day, then today it began doing random reboots every few minutes. I had not changed any software, just the area (which might have changed signal and frequency the cell tower uses). So I figured it was time to change firmware and radio.
I had previously (prior to installing custom ICS ROM) flashed the radio to 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 as recommended by Mike1986 in the Revolution HD ICS thread, and had HBoot 1.7.1111 on my device.
I then downloaded the firmware he posted on his thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
This has put the phone back to HBOOT 1.20.0000 and radio 11.15.3504.16_M
Now it's working well and no reboots yet.
Here's hoping.. time will tell.
No matter what radio or Rom combo I get random ass reboots
Super annoying. I did notice the battery goes from 100% to 10% during this reboot
I have calibrated battey. Wiped stats. I'm lost.
I have even tried a new battery. Wtf. Any ideas?
i cant even flash stock ruu I get a 171 error!!!!
Im gonna throw this phone at the f-ing wall in a min
if you flashed newest radio 11...x.x..., you have to have newest hboot also (1.20.. , i guess). otherwise, you will get random reboot. I had this issue before, and i just flashed order radio( i don't want to update hboot version). problem is solved

That's certainly consistent with my experience.
Since the changes I made as per my previous post, I've not had a single random reboot

Evening guys,
I would have posted this in the relevant thread within the Dev section but I'm not allowed. I also did a search within the thread but didn't come back with the result i was after.
Basically I've been running ARHD for a while now but fancy something different to play with. Fancied the above and almost installed it until it read you require Clockwork Mod to install, however it hasn't been tested on other recoveries. My question is can it be installed using EXT4 Recovery?
Thanks in advance
I'd say so, I can't see why it wouldn't work as 4EXT is quite universal, if you have problems with touch, just use classic, if it doesntwork, just flash CWM for the rom flash.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
I have installed ARHD using 4EXT, and doesn't have problem. 4EXT work just fine like CWM. It just build by different person with thought compatible with CWM.
All ROMs are compatible with 4ext Recovery. I have tried Inquisition, and I used 4ext Touch. In fact, there are some ROMs that won't even flash properly on CWM that will on 4ext. If you ever decide to ditch Sense completely, check out Vorbeth's OpenSensation CyanogenMod 9 ROM...it is almost near completion.
I am on VI and I use 4EXT. So I can assure you that it works.

I'm also using VI and I use EXT, just make sure you use a kernal of 3.32 or higher or it won't work I think.

It's the firmware that matters, not just the kernel. The kernel typically comes with the ROM. You must flash an ICS firmware file in the process of upgrading to ICS, if you haven't done so already. There are tons of resources on how to do that around here.

Was tempted for CM9 (used CM with my Hero) however as it was still in the Beta stage I thought I'd hang back on that for the time being as I use my phone a fair bit during the day it would need to be reliable

Everything is working on Vorbeth's build except for a handful of stuff that most people don't need. Bluetooth, Camera, WiFi, Camcorder, everything works. He's done an amazing job thus far
I might have to have a bash after Virtuous then
Azothyran
Just tried installing the Opensation ROM and it got stuck in installing update, so think I will revery back to Virtuous for the time being
I have just downloaded this rom and will flash it soon,hope it would go well on my phone.
VI 4.0.1 is good stuff! A new Version 4.0.2 should be out soon per the chef.
Rather than start a new thread, I was just wondering if people who use VI have issues with Battery and data drain. With ARHD I could get a good couple of days out the battery but with VI I don't seem to last a day.
Also with Data I seem to be racking up the amount that is used (not going near my monthly limit yet), and I'm using the same Apps as I was the ARHD.
Hello everyone,
I love to try different roms like everyday,
recently I tried Sense 4 Rom InsertCoin,
I don't know if it is ROM or i'm not doing it correctly,
but here's what I did.....
- From arhd 6.6.5 rom, Wiped/Format everything except sdcard
- Flash new firmware, tried two different, one link from arhd thread & other from Firmware's page, TMO-3.32 latest one...
- Flash the ROM........
Now, sometimes, it just turn on in like 15 seconds maximum "brightness lowers & quitely brilliant comes up", sometimes it takes more than 15 minutes & do nothing.
if I accidently get it working, I avoid to reboot, but if I have to, it get itself stuck on HTC screen & I have to reinstall the ROM to make it work again with 4-5 minutes boot time.......
which makes my phone's base hot like real HOT
So any help will be highly appreciated.....
as I am getting more than awesome battery life on this InsertCoin ROM compared to arhd.........
Thanks a lot........
EDIT:
I used official ROM & re-rooted & did all stuff again.....
now used firmware attached with arhd & it's working great......
I don't know what was problem but it's working good now

You shouldn't have flashed the firmware. Both ROMs (mainly all ICS ROMs) use the same 3.32 firmware. So if the firmware you used on ARHD worked fine, it should work on all other ICS ROMs. probably something went wrong while reflashing firmware...
Glad you worked it out in the end.

I had the same issue, are you flashing ARHD with EXT4 recovery?
If so, make sure to enable smart flashing from the tools menu.
That solve my problem.

Hi guys,
First of all my apologies for posting this here, and not in the ViperS development topic. I have been reading a lot on the forums for over a year now, but only registered today, and therefore I am not able to post in that thread (10 post minimum rule). I have tried searching the topic and similar topics, but I have not found anything.
The issue is the following: when flashing the newest version (1.5.2) of ViperS, my digitizer does not work anymore. The LCD itself and hardware buttons work fine.
Some additional info:
* Device info:
- HTC Sensation XE
- coming from ViperS 1.3.5
- XxXPachaXxX 3.0.16 kernel (currently know as the PYD kernel)
- S-OFF
- HBOOT 1.27.1100
- 4ext v1.0.0.5 RC8
* what i've tried already:
- Flashing again, both with and without wiping dalvik/cache/factory reset
- Flashing another sense ROM, works fine
- 4ext touch recovery works fine
- MD5 check, correct every time
* I do get "Status 0/Installation aborted" errors every time I install a ROM (actually when aroma wants to reboot). This does not have an effect on the other ROMs i've flashed.
* It's worth noting that the digitizer has been replaced 2 weeks ago, but works perfectly on any other rom.
Thanks in advance guys!
Did you try 'factory reset' prior to the flash?
Edit: also recheck MD5 checksum of the downloaded rom.. weird sh*t happens when the download is corrupted.

So Viper 1.3 works but 1.5 doesn't?
That is weird.
Try to download a fresh copy of the Viper ROM and start over. Even if you have matching MD5 sums on the copy you have, just delete it and start over. A fresh download can be a miricle cure sometimes.
Also, instead of flashing over your existing 1.3 version, try a full wipe and fresh install. See if that makes a difference.
If that doesn't work maybe it's some kind of strange kernel compatibility issue with the new digitizer. Maybe something from the kernel you are installing with Viper 1.5 isn't up to date for the latest replacement digitizer parts? (I'm admittedly reaching on this one...) I don't know if you are using the stock kernel that comes with Viper or immediately flashing a new kernel prior to boot.
Just as an experiment, try flashing another kernel that's compatible with Viper and see if it fixes your problem. If you're flashing a customer kernel right after installing the ROM, skip that part next time. If you're using the stock kernel, try a different one. Any different one.
If that doesn't help, post back here and at least we'll have ruled one thing out. And since that's easy enough to try it should be simple to test.
@Raven2k: my initial posts states that I have already tried both your suggestions, so no luck on that. Thanks for helping though.

I have downloaded the ROM three times now, always with a correct MD5 sum (checked with 4ext). Also, my steps when flashing a new ROM are always the same:
1. backup
2. full wipe + wipe dalvik/cache (unless upgrading is specifically mentioned as an option).
3. install with full wipe (unless upgrading is specifically mentioned as an option)
Trying a different kernel is indeed a good idea, I'll try that tomorrow (it's 1:30am here). As far as I know, ViperS uses the bricked kernel, and the ROM i tried (elegancia) uses the stock one. I'll try several tomorrow, and give you an update .
I meant redownload and check MD5 again, sorry. Md5 errors are not probable, but they still do occur. Also, I would suggest reflashing 4ext recovery. It seems very weird to have errors for every rom being flashed.
Also, one more thing you can do is try booting vipers without your sdcard. The one thing not being formatted and cleared is the sdcard content which contains some app data etc.

My wife had viperS 1.4.1 on her sensation XE and a several days ago her screen stopped responding.
It was fine in recovery but when the ROM was booted up it just didn't work, so it was stuck at the lockscreen. I fully wiped everything and flashed the latest version of viperS and it still remained the same. Tried booting with the SIM card and SD card removed - still the same.
I fully wiped again and flashed a different ROM (Elegancia 3.7.0 - which I have had on my XE since it was released and I know to work well) and the screen worked fine, but she did have a few random reboots.
I then fully formatted her SD card using Gparted 2 days ago and (fingers crossed) it has been fine ever since.
I have no idea what the problem was, but I feel it was caused by the viperS ROM and that it affected the SD card too.
I'm not criticizing ViperS as I've used it before and know it's a great ROM, but I cannot be 100% sure that using it does not carry the risk of problems such as this.
Ok guys, sorry for my late reply. Due to the holidays and a trip to germany last week i did not have much time to do the flashing. Flashing an new kernel helped, I am now on ViperS 1.6 (which did not work out of the box, but after installing the bricked kernel it works .
Thanks to all for the help!
