TBH just use search in the Q&A forum, try something like "ICS Bootloop".

Yeah, but I don't have recovery cuz it didn't installed ...

Enter in bootloader and inject recovery via fastboot mode.

Can u say me how to do that ? I know only revolution method which is not working (i think) in my case .

Remove and reinsert the battery. Hold vol-down&power and select fastboot. Search for adb and fastboot files on this forum and connect your sensation to USB.
Download the 4ext zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
Unzip IMG file and put in the Same directory of adb and fastboot. Type "fastboot flash recovery namefile.img"

Everything working now :]
Have u got any ideas how to get access to phone memory ? I need /data/misc/wifi/ to (i hope) fix my wifi .

Try adb and mount data

It says "device not found" ? Huh ?

Mmm...try with Droid explorer with your phone in fastboot mode

Thanks A Million

You just saved my night, it is 2:30 am and after long hours of trying without results your answer gave me results in 2 minutes. great job broooo

There is no wpa_supplicant.conf there through droid explorer ...
@I have put it to my phone pulling it out from arhd rom but it does not work ... Near WiFi MAC Adress and Bluetooth Adress there is "unavaiable" .

Delete the file and android i think he recreates a new one.

No , it's not creating a new one ... And one from arhd extracted rom put to correct direction is not working ... And it's not hardware , i'm sure .

[Q] boot loop cannot get PC to read device

Okay I was flashing a ROM for the S4 version and the phone began rebooting in the middle of the flash. I realize my error so lets not focus on that Im just trying to fix the boot loop issue. Im trying to use fastboot to fix it but when the phone is connected to my windows 7 PC it makes the connected sound but the device cannot be found by fastboot and it is not shown in the sidebar tree. I cannot get into recovery the TRWP splash screen is displayed for 10 seconds then it goes to the HTC developers use only screen. Please help. Are there any options to repair the damage?

well don't give up then, it isn't bricked.
I'm guessing the way you worded it, you have a villeC2 (S3) version and you flashed (S4) ROM? So just make sure you have the S3 version of TWRP flashed and flash a boot.img and rom. wipe caches and you should be fine.
Never mind that if your phone is S4 and I misinterpreted that.
With phone in Bootloader, (fastboot USB) try and check fastboot devices again. Opening your folder with fastboot in it and shift right click, pick open command window.
fastboot devices
(should show a serial #)
flash recovery again, since it was bootlooping. That will probably allow it to be stable again so you can mount USB storage.
If you are in bootloader (fastboot USB) and command window on pc is ran from the correct folder but it still shows device cannot be found then reinstall fastboot drivers. That should fix it for you.

Im on the S4 variant my error was not flashing the boot.img separately
Im needing to run the cmd as admin so Im opening it up from the start button and changing the directory to the folder fastboot is in. I did get a serial # HT251W408295 fastboot. as shown
Just to confirm my next step is to flash recovery so my command line should be C:\Android fastboot flash recovery twrp2.1.6-ville.img
Correct?
Im using an older twrp cause I read that the newest one is not the best for HTC one S devices.
Thanks

That would work, BUT:
I see Maximus HD in that pic. For Maximus and any other ROM that uses 2.16 HBoot you can only use the recovery provided in the Maximus original post. It has been modified to work with the new partitions.
If you have moved back to or are still on HBoot 2.15 older firmware, then yes go ahead and flash like you are.
---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------
oh, and usb storage (mount sd card) will not be available on this new recovery.
Easy way to move a ROM onto the phone while in this recovery is adb push
put ROM.zip in the adb folder and type in command window:
adb push filename.zip /sdcard

Sorry, you need to extract that zip on your pc and put the recovery.img in your folder. Or I guess just extract it in that same folder you are using.
then depending on the name of the recovery.img flash that. But I think that extracts to recovery.img
so
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

One of the possibilities with that error is a bad download. You may have to redownload the ROM.
Another is if you change the name of the rom, just in case you did that.

It has successfully copied....reboot ur recovery and go to download folder and see if the file exists or not.
EDIT- I just checked ur screenshot again...it shows around 162 MB file but the file size should be around 300 MB
Download it again or flash the stock files to go back to stock

probably your kernel is the problem
try to flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
by the way are you on S-ON or S-OFF?

actually you type the command from pc
connect your device to pc in fastboot mode(in the hboot screen should say fastboot usb)
extract the boot.img from the rom and place it in your adb/fastboot folder
then open a cmd window in that folder and type the command
press enter

ok
boot your device to the bootloader and select fastboot
then connect it to pc
now in your pc navigate to the folder where you have adb and fastboot(i assume you have installed sdk tools)
in that folder press shift + right click
you will see an option open a command window here
then a black window will appear
in that window type the command and press enter
but don't forget first to place the boot.img to the adb/fastboot folder

i replied in the other thread

Does S-on and S-off matter for this issue?
Hi,
I am facing the same issue, my Sensation z710e is stuck in Cyanogenmod boot logo. following are the details.
bootloader unlocked
s-on
rooted
cwm recovery installed
tried latest CM10 for pyramid devices
I didnt try 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' command yet but i would like to know if s-on matters, my device is already rooted with cwm recovery.

I am having a similar issue as well. I have followed the instructions in this thread [ROM][STABLE][Android 4.4.4] CyanogenMod 11 with 3.0.16 kernel [July 18, 2014]. I have followed all the steps including doing a full wipe, flashed the ROM zip, gapps zip, and the aroma installer for the flash kernel several times with the same result. My screen keeps getting stuck on the white HTC loading screen.
Currently I have restored my phone to my previous ROM using a backup through 4ext recovery (v1.0.0.6 RC2). My HTC Sensation 4G T-mobile is unlocked and rooted with s-on. I have smartflash enabled on 4ext and my ROM is currently stock android 4.0.3. I did search the above mentioned thread for similar issues and a potential solution but none of the things I tried worked.
I would appreciate any help on how to fix this problem. If you need additional information I would be glad to provide it.

Tried another re-install today and everything worked fine, I guess the 5th time is the charm? I still don't know why it didn't work the other times, I did the exact same thing each time.

first thing windows 8.1->big problem you will face connectivity issues
adb/fastboot folder in your pc not sdcard or phone
the boot.img is located in the rom.zip
extract it from there
about w8 search how to set up adb/fastboot(or htc drivers) in w8 if you face connectivity issues
