HELP! Stuck at HTC White SCREEN

i was using ARHD 6.7.2 XE with yank kernel was working fine till i decided to flash darkforest rom. i superwipe my phone and install it using aroma with bricked kernel and now im stuck at htc screen

re-flash the ROM again ..this time use wipe from 4EXT (wipe|format -> format all partitions except sdcard)

maybe you have to flash the boot.img manually
if you have 4ext recovery enable smartflash and then flash the rom again(if you are S-ON?)
or flash the boot.img following extra1 from this guide

go to bootloader and see if you are s-off or s-on?.. and before flashing new rom you got to format all particion except sd card , not just cache...

Don't worry mate! I also had the same issue with some KitKat ROMs. That's normal.
quite simple solution is: Go to Recovery and Flash another ROM! that's it.

Sorry to hijack this thread. I've been pulling my hair out with the same issue as well when trying to install 4.4.2 roms. stuck at the HTC screen. I have tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540521 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2623494. The only one that works is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530073.
I am S-OFF with 3.33.
Any help would be appreciated.

try to wipe all data info (cache , partition and dalvik) than install ROM and gapps, should be fine, remember to perform it with fully charged battery, and i dont think i have to mention that you would do backup ? (when you get working ROM you might use nandroid software to create COMPLETE backup of your system - including ROM, so if something goes wrong , you can restore everything), hope that helps

I have done what you said but no luck i.e. wipe cache and dalvik and with fully charged battery.. I have a nandroid back up so that's what I have been going back to every time the rom has not been installing.

This is what I don't understand. when doing all the usual wiping steps (including formal all partitions). I also used the boot.img from the rom but no luck. question, at what point, should I be flashing the boot.img? wipe steps, flash rom, flash gapps and then boot.img via fastboot?

STOP SHOUTING! and read the post above, that is the solution, everyone who's still s-on needs to do that, it's well documented in this forum. Search, read. If that's too much for you, you shouldn't have messed with your phone in the first place.

Hi guys,
I'm experiencing the same issue with cm-11-20140614-UNOFFICIAL-saga from devil-kin. Even after I manually flash the boot.img file (fastboot flash boot boot.img) the phone just resets back into recovery, which I do find strange. Using the latest 4EXT recovery and latest version of Hboot.

1) I used Fallout v5.0 and it's working just fine
2) My panel is made by Sony

And you formatted all partitions (except sd card) before installing? Also what version of 4ext do you have exactly?
Edit: fallout is ics (Android 4.0), not jb (Android 4.1-4.3) or kk (Android 4.4)

1) Formatted everything possible except the SD card, before flashing the CM11 ROM
2) 4EXT v2.2.7_RC5 (I tried the latest RC Touch version but no luck there)
3) Hboot 7.00.1002 | Reengineered 2.00.002
Let me know if you need more info to help me out here, because I'm really out of options at this point and I'm stuck with Fallout. Not that it's bad but I found some stuff from the HTC part that drive me crazy + a lot of BGround activities so I had to disable some of the apps.

I do not know how to work with the Touch version, as it's something that is working while you have a working Android, but when I flash a new one and then the new boot how should I do this?
Is there a guide on how to? (using the touch version of 4EXT)

Latest 4ext recovery and twrp have support for selinux which is needed for flashing KK, and they are both touch. Try on youtube to find some tutorial.

Sorry but it still want's to restart into the old recovery and then proceed with the new flash of the ROM. I'm out of guesses on how to use this app. Without a guide I'm lost.
I now saw that I got an Error | status7 Installation aborted. - what could that be?

Status 7 error is due to the recovery being too old.

please

Could some one make a quick guide on the steps that we need to make in order to install a ROM with the touch version of 4EXT? I know that for some of you guys this will be like.. a small thing to do, but having something to follow and knowing which option to choose is very helpful and will help a lot of people.

To make nandroid backup
1) boot recovery
2) backup/restore
3) backup (select it to backup)
Thats u done.
To flash a rom
1) wipe/format
2) format all partitions except sdcard
(Once thats done go back to main menu)
3) install from sdcard
4) choose zip from sdcard
5) select ur rom to install it
(if rom requires u to flash gapps then do it straight after u flash the rom)
6) reboot
(if ur s-on then ul need to boot straight into fastboot after u flash the rom and flash the boot.img)
Hope that helps ya. Simples really.

Best Rom for Sensation XE

Hi All,
Just want a bit of advise.
I have been using my old Sensation XE as my work phone for a while now, but would like to put a custom ROM on it.
At the moment it is standard, and think it could do with being updated.
Also do any of the ROM's allow you to use the built in buttons on the XE?
I have put the ZOMBI-X ROM on my Asus Transformer and have been impressed with that, so any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Ivanich and Danik's

Right, I am going to have a go - any guides anywhere?

I made a start last night, but it would not install the ROM zip file - kept coming back with an error, havent got the error to hand at the moment.
The problem I have at moment tho is it wont actually boot to recovery it kept freezing on the HTC logo screen, and I had to remove the battery to get it to boot back to normal mode.
Any ideas?
I know I am more than likely going to need to start again, but any tips would be appreciated.
