I think you unlocked your bootloader with htcdev, if yes you need to extract the boot.img of the ROM and after flashing the ROM you have to flash the kernel (boot.img) with fastboot, but next time search the forum, this has been discussed many times

Run the ruu without attached device, don't close the the window.
Search inside your temp folder for the rom.zip, copy it to another folder and close the window.
Inside the rom.zip remove the hboot.img and recovery.img.
Flashing with bootloader:
Rename it to PG88IMG.zip.
Put it to the root of your sd.
Reboot to bootloader and follow the instructions.
Delete the pg88img.zip, otherwise it will try to flash it everytime you access the bootloader.
Flashing from recovery:
Put it to your sd.
Wipe all partitions except sd.
Flash it from recovery.

....extract the boot.img from the rom you flash via recovery and put it somewhere in your computer like C:\Android
then when you are in recovery open cmd connect your phone using the cable provided and type adb reboot bootloader
your phone will reboot in bootloader.now type in cmd fastboot flash boot C:\Android\boot.img
then reboot your phone.

@Tectas he doesn t want to return to stock....

That's why the hboot.img and the recovery.img needs to be deleted
Without those he still would stay s-off and with the same recovery, just the system, radio and kernel would be reverted back to stock

[Q] Stuck at CyanogenMod boot screen. Help pls!

Hi. I'm new to HTC Sensation XE. Yesterday I just decided to root my Sensation XE phone so I went to htcdev.com to unlock bootloader.
Everythings went well, I managed to install Clockwork Recovery to my phone and able to install Superuser.
Bad things happened when I try to install CyanogenMod 9 through Clockwork Recovery. I put the rom into SD card, boot into Clockwork and then wipe data/factory reset plus wipe chache partition. Then install ZIP from SD card.
After "install complete" i reboot my phone and now I see CyanogenMod logo looping and stuck there.
I still can get into Clockwork and try install other rom but the Cyanogen logo also comes back everytime and stuck there.
I just found out that I have to do S-Off ?? I have no idea what to do next.
My previous phone was Nexus S. I installed many custom roms on that phone without any problem. As far as I know if I can get into Clockwork Recovery, my phone has been rooted, right? So
What is S-Off?
Why I have to flash firmware??
ROM for Sensation compatible with Sensation XE?
I am not familiar with AROMA installer, is this the problem I can't install ROM successfully?
Now my phone in HBOOT says:
***UNLOCKED***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000

Please help me

First, you should check the guide on how to flash roms s-on or something. It says you have to push the boot.img in adb, i think.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium

get the boot.img from the cm9 rom zip file
copy it to the adb/fastboot folder in your pc
connect the phone in bootloader to PC (phone should read fastboot usb after this )
now open command window in the adb folder and type this
fastboot flash boot boot.img
once it got success
type
fastboot reboot
your phone should boot fine now

SOFF: is security off ..once you got this off ..you can change any partition ..like you can install a custom recovery like cwm..over stock recovery ..and custom roms too
but ..HTC-DEV unlock ..is a alternative provided by the HTC ppl ..where when you do unlock ... recovary partition and partitions to make a custom rom work ..got unlocked ..thus this way you can flash cwm and thus custom roms ..
firmware:
to explain that ..think like this ..the complete phone is
hardware + firmware(radio +hboot/bootloader + some others ) + recovery (stock/custom) + ROM (system +data + boot)
now to have a ICS rom ..you need to have ICS firmware ..thus ICS radio (to have good signal) ..and ICS compatible bootloader to have ROM up and running
(remember if you have HTC-Dev unlocked bootloader you cant change the radio and hboot/bootloader)
as you are on ICS priror to doing HTC-dev unlock bootloader ..you are fine now ..as you already got a ICS radio (starts with 11.2x ..in settings->about phone->more->software information->baseband) ..also the hboot/bootloader 1.27.xxx is of ICS one ...
so you are fine with installing any custom roms ...
now there is a little headache when installing custom roms ..via custom recovery in case of HTC-dev unlocked case
some how when you flash a rom ...via cwm..every thing gets flashed except the boot.img which is the primary component to get the phone booting ...so you need to flash the boot.img separately ...that i explained earlier
there is a good recovery which can avoid the extra pain too ..that is 4EXT and the feature is smartflash
to understand the functioning of this recovery
have a good read of this thread ...its for you

Thank you. That's explain a lot. Now I can boot into Cyanogen and everything is fine now. So one last question, Am I have to push boot.img via fastboot everytime I install a new custom rom? If so, what to do when dealing with rom with AROMA installer?
I tried roms with AROMA installer and the installation ends at "SuperWipe". Nothing seems to install to my phone.

yes as long as you have cwm recovery ..you need to do that ..for every custom rom
and
thats why im saying its best to have 4EXT recovery ..as most of roms are 4EXT recovery compatible ..and what more its base is CWM itself ..so what ever backups you made via CWM can be used in 4EXT recovery ..too (and also its touch recovery )
for 4EXT ..recovery ..check the above guide step #2 for installing the 4EXT recovery
step #3 ..which has an amazing feature ..which will be quite useful to you ..(smart flash)
step #5 ..which makes the smartflash permanent

Hey guys, I have tried to install Cyanogen 9 and I'm having the same issue described here - I get stuck at the Cyanogen 9 screen.
Can I get some help? I have tried to reinstall the boot loader as described but that didn't work.
I have also tried to reinstall the rom and that didn't work either :/
I'm really worried and would appreciate any help.
My phone is also a sensation XE I have rooted it and my recovery works with the 4EXT.
Thanks!

Ok first things first.. this all is what I did and what's my present situation
1. Unlocked the boooader as per the htc dev site instructions.
2. Tried to soff using jbear method. Every thing went fine untill the jbear utility gave command to restart the device.
After restart, jbear utility failed to recognise the device. It said device not detected, please install device drivers.
3. From that moment onwards, the device is stuck at the white htc bootscreen.
4. I also followed another guide to install custom recovery and custom rom without s off.
I was able to flash a custom recovery, and even the rom. But the device won't move ahead of the bootscreen.
5. Then tried to return to stock using ruu file. But my region ruu is still not available so that method didnt work(3.33.xx.xx asia india).

he has to be on S-OFF to flash a firmware from bootloader and i don't think he achieved S-OFF
what he must to do is enable smartflash from 4ext(if you don't have that recovery use this one)
then flash the rom

Yeah exactly.. device is still s–on. And thats what is causing all the troubles i guess. Can't flash europe or asia ruu(cid error).
And i have tried enabling smartflash. Flashed the android revolution rom. Installed fine. But still stuck on bootscreen.
And as I am not s–off, so i dont think 3.32 ruu would work. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Try flashing boot.IMG manually.
I don't exactly remember the fast boot command but since fast boot commands are working then you can try flashing the boot image manually.

And where do i get this boot image? From ruu?

Not gonna try and bombard you with information I'm not sure why your phone won't boot but I am sure completely installing a new rom (everything) should fix you up so here is what I'll try and lead you to go..
1 use 4ext recovery and enable smart flash and flash a fresh rom.
So are u on 4ext recovery don't worry if your not that HTC unlocked bootloader is just as good as s-off if your bricked and know how to use it

also before flashing any rom
format all partitions except sdcard from 4ext
then enable smartflash and flash the rom

Still no luck
Ok.. i decided to flash a custom rom (ANDROID REVOLUTION)
1. Flashed 4ext recovery
2. Wiped all partitions except sd card.
3. Enabled smartflash.
4. Flashed rom.
5. Rebooted and still stuck at the htc logo screen( m really sick of this logo now).
Did I miss something?

You know those official updates that cone in a format P8500IMG.zip can you try to find that for your phone unfortunately this will probably result in loss of your root

Cheers guys.. Its back to life again
DON'T HAVE WORDS TO THANK YOU ALL.
Here's what I did..
From my experience.. i believe even after enabling smartflash, the boot image wasn't being flashed.
So what I did is extracted the boot. img from custom rom and flashed it via fastboot.
And voila.. it worked!!
Seems so simple now.. but it took me one week. Wouldn't have been possible without you guys.
Thanks a ton.
Cheers.

You CAN flash roms with hboot 1.27 and S-ON.
The most likely reason for a bootloop is incorrect boot.img
Either flash roms using 4ext SmartFlash
Or manually flash boot.img via
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

IF you have 4ext recovery (enable smartflash), perform a full wipe (after backup) and flash.
ELSE, extract boot.img from your rom, boot into fastboot and use
