Can you provide more detail
The rom you have installed
The firmware you have
The radio you have
After this I might be able to help you because right now I'm not sure what the problem can be

factory reset is not recommended on custom roms. if you want a fresh install just wipe everything and flash the rom again.

Search it, there's plenty of guides that say how to wipe.

Found it. Actually I have the same issue. After I flashed the new ROM, the first reboot was very long and stuck and black background with Android in the middle of the screen. I don't know what to do next.

flash recovery.

What do you mean?

I am not sure what hboot is?! However I will try to solve your issue
I am not sure what you did wrong, are you sure you wiped all the data before you installed the ROM?
My post time interval is 5 minutes so I'll give you everything I have now.

Did you do a clean install? Try formatting all partitions and factory resetting before flashing. After you flash the rom, wipe dalvik cache then reboot. This should fix your problem. If you still have the same issue, try these steps with a different rom to see if the problem persists.

HBOOT is basically the bootloader of an Android device. This could help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466228.

How can I do a '' formatting all partitions '' ?? I did wipe data/factory restet and wipe cache partition and it still doesn't work.. I tried installing another rom and it still doesn't work..
In the boot menus at top it says: CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4 (HTC Holiday Beta2)

It should be in the "mounts and storage" section.

And what you mean by ' wipe 'dalvik' cache ' ?
btw thanks for helping me out !

That should be an option in the "advanced" section.

the dalvik cache is another type of virtual cache specifically stores information about applications on your phone only. Thanks to Theonew now I understand this

Ok I did EVERYTHING you told me and it still doesn't work.. :-( !
Did I broke my phone :O

No, your phone is OK. You'll just have to keep trying different roms until one works (or go back to stock).

You have a link to get me to the stock Rom please ?

Here you go: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Holiday (choose one). Just boot your device into fastboot then run the RUU.

Ok I chose RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_CINGULAR_3.26.502.52 then go to recovery, choose from sd card, installation aborted -_-

OK, I had a similar problem to yours, before. Mine used to go directly to CWM no matter what I did. So I wiped everything, and installed a stock ROM, then locked the bootloader.
Then after the phone was working, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it successfully, I then started to install Custom ROMs.
Try using Fastboot to install the *STOCK* ROM, it's cleaner and better. Make sure you follow a guide on how to make a clean install of a ROM using Fastboot.

This is not installed through recovery. You run the file on your PC with your phone connected in fastboot mode.

Have you updated to newest firmware 3.33? Some Roms require it most run 3.32 and 3.33 however I've noticed some asking for 3.33.perhaps this could be a issue? Does the Rom suggest on the developers site 3.33?
Just a thought? Your s off , you have 4ext recovery, your wiping cash and dalvik, wipe data factory reset, you have done all that, perhaps its the firmware? Also did you check the md5 sums before installing to make sure they match developers? If they don't match it could be a corrupted download. If they are matching I'd read over the specs for that particular Rom and see if 3.33 is a requirement. Best wishes.

as the rom is just flashed ..you need to wait until its properly booted ..then reboot to recovery again and flash the kernel (always flash mods/kernels is not advisable ...during first flash of ROM)
now ..do a complete wipe again (4EXT -> wipe|format -> format all partitions except sdcard) then flash the rom ..boot it up ..then go back to recovery and then flash the kernel

[Q] [q] help me please, phone stuck

Hello Everyone
First of all i would like to thank all of the community members for their continious help and support. I am having the following problem with my phone [HTC SENSATION - HBOT -1.27.1100, RADIO -11.24A..., please have a look and let me have your suggestions as how to rectify it to get my phone back to me ---
- Viper rom 1.35 was installed for quite a long time, it was working fine.
-i wanted to try a new rom so as usual i made nanodrop and tried to flash a new rom x,y,z////.
-everything seemed fine, i didn’t liked the rom after flashing so i went back to 4ext backup and opted to restore....a usual process....
-after restore, what i did is, after restore is completed i went to wipe cache/delvik cache and cleared it. and then i pressed reboot........
---not everything screwed after that....,my phone is stuck at the boot screen......
tried again and again....., i then flashed viper1.35 fresh> reboot> same problem> screen stuck on boot
- i though maybe this is due to error in the firmware so in flashed the latest PGM.... firmware 3.33 i guess> then full wipe> flashed new rom----same result
- i tried 5 other rom types which use to work fine and smooth before that....but everything is stuck on boot screen.....
I couldn’t figure it out whats the problem...>>>>??????/
any guesses and solutions

I have the same problem.It happened after I flashed Sebastian's ROM, Revelation, 2 days ago.
My phone is in the same state, Unlocked and S-ON, HBOOT 1.27 . Since it's S-ON I always enable SmartFlash in 4EXT every time I want to flash a new ROM, and the same I did when I flashed Revelation, 2 days ago, but something went wrong and now I'm stuck at splash screen; it shows up for 5 seconds, then turns black, splash screen again and so on.
I can't even restore my nandroid that I did right before flashing Revelation.

if you are using 4ext recovery do this
format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartflash
flash the rom
otherwise flash the boot.img of the rom manually

Do a full wipe except sdcard and then reflash. Post the results.
And before flash got to options (4ext recovery) and ensure smartflash is on.
This will work just fine (note: ViperS 3.1.0 available OTA).

Just to be sure, ensure:
You are htcdev unlocked s-on
You have 3.32/3.33 firmware (check using fastboot getvar version-main)
You chose full wipe except sdcard from 4ext recovery
At least wait 10 mins!!!
SmartFlash is on before flash
Don't choose CPU freq above 1782 in installation (dont overclock gpu too much either)
If you are still stuck, manually flash boot.img and see what happens.
This should work. Other wise try another rom (say, ViperS 3.1.0).

Check the md5 sum if that isnt the problem flash the boot image in fastboot mode.
If that doesn't work just try to s-off its better to do that since it gives you less headaches.

If this doesn't work either, it could be bad partition. Then (only as a last resort) do an ruu. That should definately fix your phone.
