[Q] Sensation Bootscreen hang on -any- 4.4 Rom - HTC Sensation

Got a wierd problem...
Actually Carbon 4.3 Rom installed - works so far
I'm also not a newbie and also linux user
All kind of geeky-stuff already done jailbreaked iPad2/ATV2
or custom Roms on GalaxyTab2, Nexus, HTC Desire, HTC Sensation
But if i try to update ANY rom based on 4.4 the Sensation hangs in bootsplash after flashing.
Did everthing usual, wipe/format partitions/clean caches even repartioning sdcard.
Googling hours after this problem in english/german forums but nothing useful.
Clockwork/TWRP/4EXT Recovery tried - actually 4EXT is installed and my favorite
Could it be a problem with HBoot 1.27 ENG S-OFF?
I had to install these former to change the bootsplash picture - with any newer it didn't work.

Negative, it's the actual 4EXT - recommended for flashing newest Carbon

hmm,
if you failed with the latest version of 4ext
then redownload the rom
check md5 sums and flash it

As i wrote in first post:
This happens with ANY 4.4 ROM
Up to 4.3 ROM all fine with any recovery

i told him that too
but he said he has problem only with 4.4 roms
with 4.3 everything is fine

Only other cause I could think of is the radio/firmware. Do you have Firmware 3.33? See if it'll help.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154

i don't think so otherwise he would have also problem with 4.3 roms but he hasn't
besides that he has mentioned that he has 1.27 hboot version

Yes, as i said:
latest 4ext 1.0.0.6 RC2 & hboot 1.27 ENG S-Off
4.3 Roms working, only any 4.4 ROM stuck after flashing rom and/or gapps in splash screen

so perhaps thats the problem with 1.27 ENG
(had to downgrade to this for changing splash)

Can 4EXT flash any ROM (eg. Gingerbread)?

I've just recently done S-OFF and installed 4EXT recovery plus the latest ARHD ROM.
However I'd like to revert back to a Gingerbread ROM. Preferably a custom one.
Just wondering if 4EXT is capable of flashing any ROM or is it only compatible with the newer ROMS like ICS etc?
Could somebody also recommend a good Gingerbread ROM if possible?
Thanks.

Using Jelly Bean here so no knowledge on the latest GB ROMs.
The issue is to get compatible Firmware for the chosen ROM.
I'm a CWM user but understand that EXT4 can do all that's needed.
So What is your Radio/HBOOT version ??

Hi,
4EXT should be fine to install GB ROMS.
You will firstly need to downgrade your firmware.
1.17 is HERE
ARHD GB 3.6.13 is HERE

It's not working. As soon as I enter the bootloader with these two files on my SD card I get the
error message "Incorrect ID - Update Failed" before I even attempt to do anything. It won't even let me enter the recovery unless I remove them.
I'm on Juopunutbear 1.27 currently. Do I have to downgrade the bootloader as well? And if so how? I'm a bit stuck.

HBOOT compatibility

Hello!
I am pretty new in the Android Custom ROM area so that's why I need some help with informations.
I am the proud owner of a Desire S, that I have installed a custom rom (Virtuous something) some time ago. Not me, a friend. Now I want to try some new roms that have Sense 4. But i have a problem, i don't know if a rom is compatible with my HBOOT (which is 2.00.0002). I would like to install SenseMOD FlashOne but i can't see anything regarding my HBOOT.
So firstly, is it compatible?
And secondly, what would happen if the HBOOT is not compatible and I would flash the ROM? Will it turn into a HTC Brick?
And if it's not compatible, what ROM would you recomand that has Sense 4 and working WiFi, camera, etc ?
Virtuous something http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590718 is a full sence 4.0 ROM

I noticed that ROM, but it dosen't say anything about hboot required. I have a different version of Virtuous than that, mine has android 4.0.3 and sense 3.6
I see that you have the same hboot as mine, can you tell me what rom do you have?

Your hboot is compatible with all custom roms. Just remember to flash the boot.img from the rom in fastboot.
I'd personally recommend fallout, see link on my signature

My phone is already S-OFFed.

If you're phone is s-off and you have a custom recovery installed (4ext, Cwm or similar) all you have to do to install a new rom is,
1. put the rom (zip file) on the sd card
2. boot into recovery
3. backup your current Rom
4. do a full wipe (format all except sd card if you're using 4ext), sometimes it works just wiping cache and dalvik cache, if updating from an earlier version of the same rom (read the op)
5. Flash rom
Edit: flash gapps, if not included in Rom (most cm/aosp based roms)
6. Reboot

Forget about what?
Edit: ahhh, I see what you mean. True, with Hboot 7.00 you can flash any rom.

Sometimes developers says when it needs to upgrade hboot in description, so if you keep watching on updates, it's hard to miss it) and as a secret of a succes to upgrade everything) but sometimes its hard, for example, BND can fix smth every day, and it's really annoying)
