I really need help with my HTC Sensation guys, here is where I am at;
I got a new phone and I wanted to give my HTC sensation to my dear old mum angel but she is on 02 (UK). So when I put her sim in it asks for the network unlock code, thats fine.
So I got the code online and put it in, says sucessful but then does nothing, which according to THIS THREAD is because I am running Cyanogenmod 9 which is a non Sense rom.
I booted into recovery (4EXT), Factory reset + Wipe Cache + dalvik, then restored my backup from before I installed Cyanogen (Stock ROM).
However, and this is where I run out of ideas, it just hangs on the "HTC Quietly brilliant" screen...
I read in THIS THREAD that it could be a kernel issue, so I also tried with the 3.32 kernel from THIS THREAD but no dice.
On a side note, I tried a few other roms, including the stock rom from step 2 in THIS THREAD, they all freeze up at the boot animation as well. The stock rom one makes a sound like it is trying to play the startup noise but then changes its mind.
So as a last resort I tried to find the RUU for my firmware and carrier which should be 3.32.771, but of course it doesn't exist. All I can find is 1.34.771 which would just throw an error...
Any help would be very much appreciated.
My phone details;
HTC Sensation
Bootloader UNLOCKED
S-ON
Recovery: 4EXT
Running: CM9
I also attached a fastboot getvar all output.

Hi all,
I'm new to this but I do have a fair knowledge of computers and moding so this is not all chinese to me. I recently got my new HTC Desire HD and decided to installa Lee's ROM.
Rooted my phone, did both Radio S-Off and S-Off, got ROM Manager installed clockwork recovery and flashed latest radio (26.04.02.17_M2). After applying the flash zip and rebooting phone stayed in HTC white screen for like 30 mins and still nothing happened. I did remove the battery and restarted holding down the volume button to go into recovery and restored the backup I previously made. Phone still stuck in HTC screen for over 20 mins now and nothing happens even after restoring original ROM. The only step I missed was to wipe data/factory reset. Should I do this now and then restore my backup or what? Help me pls on this, the phone is 1 week old I don't want to kill it already...
PS. Sorry for posting a new thread but as a new user it wouldn't let me reply to Lee's.
Thank you all in advance,
Cheers!
You should of at least made this thread under Desire HD section, plus you would get more response.
You got a boot loop. Nothing major and not a big deal since you can still get into recovery and such. How did you apply the new radio? You can't flash radios through the recovery.
If you haven't, then flash radio this way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896597 and see if you still get the boot loop.
Hi All
Yep, there are a lot of posts about Desire's stuck on boot screens I know - and I've read them all but nothing seems to fins a solution to my problem sadly.
I'm having an issue running Oxygen 2.0.3 signed release on my HTC Desire, spec as follows:
Radio 5.14.05.17
HBoot 0.93
PVT4
S-ON
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7
I did all the data, boot, and system wipes/formats recommended before installing new ROMs, and installed the zip from my SD card through ClockworkMod.
All is well on first boot - had it running happily for a couple of days. Then I turned the phone off and on again and it only boots as far as the white screen with the green HTC text, and progresses no further. When I go back to my Nandroid backup of the rooted stock ROM things appear to function as they should, if that makes any difference to a diagnosis.
I've tried reinstalling this ROM twice with the exact same result.
Can anyone help? I've had crashes with pretty much every ROM I've tried so far and, apart from this one considerable problem, Oxygen had been looking the most promising. I'm starting to wish I hadn't rooted at all - can't get a stable OS running at all since doing it, and getting really fed up
Thanks very much for any help.

I know this is an old treath, but I have exactly the same problem. Does someone knows what could be done to resolve this issue? I did the same thing as the topic starter.
Some info about my phone:
RAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
- Oxygen version 2.3.2
- HTC Desire GSM
- HBOOT version 0.93.0001
- RADIO version 5.11.05.27
Thanks in advance!
Hey Guys, i installed MIUI on Android version 2.3.7 and i tried to install Android Revolution HDand when i flashed PG58IMG.ZIP it said the model number is wrong on the bootloader screen and it won't let me get to recovery (4EXT) so I have to take the memory card out to get to recovery. Also i backed up my data, used SuperWipe, and flashed Android Revolution and restarted, my phone gets stuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliant Screen and won't boot. So then i took the memory card out an the battery out, and put it back in to get to recovery mode and i went back to MIUI.
What Should I do?
Thanks Guys
im not sure but it sounds like maybe you dont have your cid for the rom you want or not everything matches up i suggest you go to this link and make sure you have everything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
also you said 2.3.7? i say you should upgrade to ics, alot of roms are based in that now anyway in including MIUI. also for AHDR check out this thread on everything

Hello guys, I've been having unusual problems with my recently purchased 2nd HTC Sensation 4g (it was supposedly brand new). I already have one HTC Sensation 4g running on Revolution HD for almost a year and regularly update it. Anyways, onto my issue with my new HTC Sensation...After I attempted to put on a new 3.33 firmware and the RevolutionHD 6.7.2 ROM, I was unable to boot it (stuck at the HTC quietly brilliant screen). I then tried to put on the latest T-Mobile RUU and again, it got stuck at the boot screen. I then superwiped again and repeatedly try out a bunch of the complete big ROMs (OrDroid 9.0, Elegancia Pegasus, etc) without any success. I was about to give up and figured my phone is bricked, but then decided to try out the more simple CM9 ROMs (Extreme Sensation Power-2) and was shocked it was able to boot and fully function! I then tried out similar ROMs and currently running Infinity's TouchCream 2.1.
I would appreciate if anyone have experienced similar issues and could give me some advice on how I could address it. I will have to do more experimenting to find out what's being going on. I have a feeling it could be a much more complicated problem than just simply mismatched/outdated ROM or Firmware. The reason why is because my 1st HTC Sensation (the control) was tested using the exact same configs without one single hiccup.
Reflash the newest firmware and then ARHD
I assume you are s-off with the latest 4EXT. If not, do that first.
I would download the latest 3.33 universal package: http://d-h.st/bCV, along with the latest ARHD 6.7.2: http://goo.gl/QDuTC
Run the firmware update through HBOOT (place PG58IMG.zip on root of the SD card, VOL DOWN + POWER, accept update), and then reboot into recovery.
4EXT should warn you that it is in safe mode due to a change in your HBOOT/partitions (if not, reboot recovery again, and if still not, you were already on 3.33 with revolutionary HBOOT ), so do a format of all partitions except SD card.
From there, reboot recovery again, and do a full wipe again to be safe, and install ARHD. Leave it for 5m to boot, should work.
Thanks for the advices guys. Unfortunately, none of the methods changed any of the results of my 2nd Sensation. It would still not boot the bigger ARHD or Elengancia ROMs (what appears to be Sense ROMs). However, it boots on CM9 ROMs (like TouchCream or Extreme Sensation). I have an identical phone that's a little older, which I've used as the "control" in my experiment. I've been using pretty much the exact same files and steps that you've mentioned, but my 2nd Sensation wouldn't go past the boot screen, even after 30m of waiting (meanwhile, my 1st Sensation has already finished its first boot within 5m). This happens every single time...frustrating! Please note that my 1st Sensation is also going through the exact same steps, just so I can eliminate obvious software or user errors. Anyways, I'm pretty happy at least I'm able to run TouchCream2.1 on this phone and enjoy pretty much all the functions that the HTC Sensation has to offer after I install the suitable apps & widgets. Thanks again!
Hello guys, sorry for my english, I am writing to put my problem that is plaguing me for days.
I have a htc desire hd was previously a 2.3.5 with sense 3.0, I tried to do this firmware directly from the root with a guide xda but without success. Once this is done I prepare to do the downgrade. After a few tries I managed to do the downgrade and have the ClockworkMod "ace hack kit". The problem is that when I go to install the custom rom (in my case the blackout incredible 4.0) proceeds smoothly with the installation hangs at boot time and the initial htc screen. The only way to return the phone function is to install the rom PD98IMG by the bootloader.
Obviously installing this rom I have to redo the procedure of s-off, kernel etc from hack_ace.
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
ps: I just noticed that I have the htc screen after the proceedings dell'hack_ace. Once you go to install the kernel and radio phone hangs (but manages to get safely into recovery, bootloader etc.)
