[Q] sensation white screen with green logo

Hi guys,
yesterday I have tried to flash androi revolution 6.8.0 on my sensation, but when i have reeboted it have appeared the white screen... my previous rom was the android revolution 6.7.2 for this reason when i flashed the new ARHD I did it whithout superwipe... so what should i do? I can only enter in hboot and recovery i' am disperead!!
thank you for your help!

what recovery do you have? is your device s-on or s-off? If you are s-on you need to flash boot.img separately or enable smart flash in 4ext recovery if you have that installed on your device.

Okay, first off calm down becaue you haven't screwed your phone up.
If you can get to recovery, odds are the phone works perfectly fine.
But you did bork up the ROM somehow. All my following advice assumes you are S-OFF. Don't do anything if that's not correct.
Here are your options....
First your cache might be loused up. Go to 4EXT and wipe cache and dalvik and reboot. See if that helps. I don't think this will fix your problem but it's simple and quick to try so why not give it a shot?
Next, if you made a full nandroid backup of ARHD 6.7.2 then you should be able to restore it from 4EXT Recovery. Just go to the restore section and tell it to restore 6.7.2 and it should flash it and boot right up.
If you didn't make a nandroid, you've learned a valuable lesson on why you ALWAYS make a nandroid before flashing a new ROM. ALWAYS!!! So this experience is still a positive for you because you've learned something.
Unfortuantely that means you have an unbootable screwed up ROM installed now that contains all of your user data. And you're going to have to wipe that clean to start this over. So go to 4EXT and do a full wipe, or use Superwipe, then install ARHD 6.8 from scratch. It should boot right up. If it doesn't, download a new copy of 6.8 and put it on teh SD card and try again. It could just be a bad download.
You might even try installing 6.8 again overtop of whatever clustered up mess you've got on there now to see if it resets everything without losing user data. I don't think that will work, but it won't make it worse.

Ok, first of all thank you!
I have tried to make a superwipe and install again ARHD 6.7.2 i had on sdcard but no change, but i have noticed maybe an important thing... when i go in recovery appear this
" your 4EXT theme got corrupted! It was unistalled to prevent damage.
4EXT smartflash is courrently set to update your boot partition on nest system start.
is this wanted or should it be removed?
remove smart flash?"
Could be important?

Remove smartflash because you are S-OFF so you don't need it

Are you running the 3.33 firmware? If not then you need to flash it - goto Kohr-Ah's universal firmware thread in the dev section for it.
If no then its probably just a bad flash. Redownload the ROM then check MD5, if they match then flash, if not then try downloading again.
If MD5 is correct but it still doesnt work reflash the ROM but do a full wipe (wipe everything except sd card from the 4EXT wipe menu).
If that still doesn't work then just try a different ROM.

Please report back to tell if it worked or not. If it does work this thread will be helpful to someone who finds it on a Google search 3 months from now.
If you don't tell what the outcome was, it will be useless to someone who finds it on a search.
Hope it all works out! Good luck!

First of all... Thank you everybody!
I have tried all solution but nothing seemed to work.... finally I have tried to flash the 4EXT from fastboot and , after reflasing ROM, i have seen my sensation switcing on without problem!
PROBLEM SOLVED!

[Q] phone FC

So I have searched the forums tried the solutions to no avail.
I s-offed friends phone, flashed the RUU to stock, he tries to make a phone call com.android.htcdialer FC's
I then flashed a recovery and used the ATT Stock Root - 3.18.502.6 - JB 4.1.1
I wiped and erased cache and still the same error.
UPDATE:
Issue was resolved when flashing recovery CWM

Ruu then try.

Some of the things I have tried.
Went to Apps -> Contacts Cleared Data
Contacts Storage -> Clear Data
Dialer -> Clear Data
Phone -> Clear Data
I noticed on my HTC One X my versions differ than his
My Phone ver: 2.0.503092
His Phone ver: 2.0.503901
My Dialer ver: 4.0.513296
His Dialer ver: 4.0.500167
Is there anything I can do to get him my updated dialer and etc?>

Even when I did the RUU did not work. I did the RUU_EVITA_UL_JB_45_S_Cingular_US_3.18.502.6_Radio_0.24p.32.09.06_10.130.32.34_release_signed_With_Partial

Dialer version means about as much as the color pants you're wearing.
Flash CWM, wipe everything. Then flash whatever rom. Tell me if it works while CWM is flashed

I thought it would.
Seems to be a bug with CWM - TWRP
You can either stay on CWM or try flashing an older version of CWM (the oldest you can find for evita) and then TWRP. and then wipe all and reflash.
It's up to you.

I told him to stay in the stocked rooted image. It seems he has the first gen htc one x and there was internal issues with the phone and they released an update to the other phones except his, so I just told em to stick with what he has until he upgrades or picks a compatible rom for CWM

[Q] ViperS 3.1.2 + Sensation XE

Hi.
I want to switch to ViperS 3.1.2 but have few questions before I do so. I've never done it before so I'm new to this.
Does it come rooted (or do all ROMs come rooted)?
Is there any instruction on how to do it or just flash it from .zip via the recovery mode (I have CWM 5.x.x installed already)?
And are there any bugs with it such as Wi-Fi problems/tethering, or calls (speaker)?
Also, what if something goes wrong? I've got a backup of my current ROM (stock), so do I just flash that one back or try ViperS' in case it was a mistake on my side?
Lastly, I've heard some people mentioning OTA updates. I'm assuming it's done in the same way as stock ROMs, so you just need Wi-Fi/working internet and the new update will install on its own, or do I have to download the update from here and then do it myself?
Thanks!

Are you S-Off or S-On? If S-Off then you can flash the zip directly from recovery and if you're S-On then you gotta flash 4EXT recovery first and enable smart flash feature and then flash the zip file.
There are no major bugs in the Rom except the ones listed on the OP of the official thread. Enjoy flashing.

I'm S-Off. I've had root earlier but I've installed SuperSU and accidentally pressed Clean SU which has pretty much wiped it. :|

Post your bootloader details to make things more clearer. Flashing a custom Rom doesn't need root access. You can flash it as you're s-off.
What Rom you're using currently? What firmware?

I apologise for not posting, although it may be a bit too late now since I'm already installing the ROM.
So, just wanna know now - do ROMs come rooted, and if I can always go back to stock ROM as long as I have the boot.img/download stock ROM from HTC site?

Yup they come pre-rooted

Thanks for the help, everyone! Managed to install the ROM, despite being stuck in bootloop for 2 hours but it works flawlessly now.

Most roms come rooted, and the rest provide root tools so you have a choice while flashing.
To return to stock look up ruu. An ruu + s on = your device as it came.

If you had flashed Firmware-3.33 before the ROM - you would have had no "bootloops" at all! The most important thing is to have Firmware-3.33

If you made a backup before flashing you should restore it, or else flash the ROM you had before flashing.
Then use "Titanium Backup" and back up your messages (your contacts are automatically synced with your google account, unless you saved them on the phone, but you can change that with the "people" app.
after you backed your phone up, make a full wipe, and flash the new ROM. Install Titanium Backup and restore your messages backup.
Good luck.

Get a download of the ROM you had before, and you can flash it normally. If you had stock, find a download of stock ROM (although Sense 3.6 custom ROMs might actually work too).

Right

Oh no, I thought you wanted to flash viperS. Flash the ROM you had before flashing, whichever ROM that was (but flash that specific ROM, not a different one. My advice from the previous comment was if you came from stock ROM). If you flash the same ROM you don't have to wipe, and then you can back up your phone.

I hope you can operate adb, because the solution I found requires it.
Go to recovery, and use adbto pull the contacts database with the following command:
adb pull data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db
It might give an error for a protected directory (but I don't know since it's going to be done in recovery), if that happens, use 'adb shell' and then 'su'. then exit, and you have root access to the device (do it only if required).
Once you obtained the file, it should be on your adb folder. you need to open it with a database app which supports SQLite3 (I won't reccomend anyrhing since I've never used them. but from a quick search I found a few. and searching in the context of reading android databases would give some recommendations.).
Good luck
p.s - It's hard for me to believe this is the simplest solution. It might work, but it's not easy. So others might give better solutions.

[Q] Codename Lungo CM11, stuck at android logo first boot.

Hello,
This is my first post. I have searched throughout for an answer but nothing seems to point me in the right direction. So here it goes:
I have an HTC sensation Z710e with:
Kernel : 3.016-ga462f5f (stock)
Unlocked bootloader
CWM 5 flashed
Rooted (obvious i guess, just to be thorough )
S-OFF.
So far so good. I followed the rules/tutorials to the letter and managed to flash the Codename Lungo CM11 version on my phone. On first reboot (before going for the GAPPS as instructed ) the device passes the HTC logo and gets stuck on the android loading logo. Tried it twice with the same results, had to revert to my recovery to get back to working condition.
Is it/could be a kernel issue?
Any tips/advice would be more than welcome.
PS: I wanted to post it in the related thread but no access for me yet :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930403

Format the data partition along with system/cache and dalvic cache before flashing the ROM.
Edit: Data partition can be formatted by factory rest operation. Not sure though.

You need to flash the stock recovery and perform "factory reset + clear storage" fo fix the sd card bug. Once done you can install a custom recovery and flash a custom rom OR ru RUU to get your phone back to full stock
