Hello, I had a MIUI ROM and I flashed a new version , doing the wipes and flashing it, but after the reboot, I see the HTC logo and nathing else, only the black screen.
In my bootloader appears "unlocked", saga pvt ship s-on rl, hboot 2.00.0002.
I tried to flash others ROMs and it happens the same, black screen after the HTC logo.
Thank you.
Did u flash the boot.img after flashing the roms? Since ur s-on u need to flash a rom then boot straight into bootloader and flash the boot.img then reboot. The boot img is inside the rom zip.

Can you tell me how to do it? I read something about that but I don't know how to do it.
I had the same problem today but the flash fixed it.

The Linux / ubuntu method
I had the same problem and followed the advice of the previous post this is how I did it:
1. First I made sure the fastboot programme was in my home directory
2. Then using a compression program I extracted the boot.img file from the "cm-11-20141214-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip" rom. I also extracted it to my home directory (same directory as the fastboot program)
3. After installing the Rom and Gapps on my phone via TeamWin Recovery I immediately rebooted into the bootloader. and selected fastboot
4.I connected the phone via usb cable to my laptop.
5.On my laptop I opened a terminal for commandline
6. I entered the following command:
"sudo /home/simon/fastboot flash boot boot.img"
After the flash was successful I rebooted and CM11 is now working. I suppose the windows meathod follows similar principles.
Or use fastboot adb on windows.

I'm totally unable to make it works. I have the "waiting for device" message, I'm reading tutorials but nothing works.

Hello all,
A friend has a HTC Desire S. He tried to install some stuff on it like new rom, HBOOT, etc. Now the phone can boot only with power and VOL DOWN. I can enter also in recovery but from there I can't install new rom to boot in it. Also HBOOT is ver. 2.00.xx not sure the last digits and there is S-ON also.
Any idea how can I fix it?
Thank you in advance.
Is the recovery CWM or 4EXT? What happens when you try to install a new rom?
If you're S-ON you have to flash the boot.img with fastboot after flashing your ROM :
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Extract it from your ROM zip and put it in the platform-tools folder of the SDK. Go in this folder then Shift+Left click --> open prompt command here
Then write the code above. Of course you need to plug the phone in fastboot mode before doing that :silly:
Hello,
thanks for the answers. I was able to handle this. Mainly the issue was that Windows 8 won't detect the phone at all. I have other computer with Win7 and I made the all the needed there.
Here is what I have used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
Now everything is working.
Thank you all.
I am hoping that I can find help out there. My phone will not load past the splash screen.
Over the last few days I have been trying to install a custom rom on my phone. I thought I was on the right track and now I have flashed it but it will not go past the splash screen. I would be grateful for any advice on how to get my phone back functioning. I would even be happy to have it back stock.
So my movements over the last few days have been as follows:
1) HTC DEV unlocked the bootloader
2) Used Hasoon2000's HTC Sensation 4G all-in-one to flash CWM.
3) Then the same tool to copy Prem Root onto the SD card and installed it via CWM.
4) Then used this post here to install JB Miui - http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/how-to-update-upgrade-miui.15424/
Then when I rebooted it is stuck on the Miui splash screen.
At every stage I felt like things worked well and now I have that sad feeling in my stomach because I have just realized how vital my phone is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did u flash boot.img after u flashed the rom? Did u full wipe before flashing the rom? Also with s-on users its recommended to use 4ext recovery and in recovery, enable smartflash.
Where can I find information about boot.img - so that is a no. I am installing 4ext now.

open rom.zip and search for the boot.img
probably it is located in the kernel folder
place it in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
now boot your device to the bootloader and connect it to pc via usb(in the hboot screen it should say fastboot usb)
in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files open a cmd window and do this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then
fastboot reboot
done

as suggested before it is better to have 4ext recovery
and before flashing any rom enable smartflash from it(for S-ON devices)
smartflash it does exactly what i said above
umm i got problem with my phone, my htc go into bootloop mode after i install Revelation rom jb 1.0.0 , it goes to htc logo sreen, then black screen, then back to htc logo screen again
i do format all partition except sdcard but no luck, then i tried to restore my previous rom, it went to bootloop too ,
what should i doo ?
everytime i went into 4ext recovery , there always appear a popup says that "there are pending update to your boot partition, do you want to remove smartflash ?" <-- i dont know what is smartflash, all i do know is my phone is in hboot 1.27 , rooted,s-off, and unlocked
and everytime after i installed any room, it says "backup of your boot partition has failed, please report this bug "
Try entering fastboot via terminal and flash boot.img manually type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and see how it goes...

Assuming you have a working adb setup installed on your pc (if not follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152148)
1. connect your phone to pc
2. extract the boot.img of your roms .zip file and place it in your platform-tools folder (or where fastboot is located on your system)
3. type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" (on your phone it should read "fastboot usb")
4. type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
5. when finished type "fastboot reboot"
and you are ready to go.
Remember since you are s-off, there is no need to have smartflash enabled, so disable it in your recovery...

Wanna ask something again, everytime i went into recovery to install a rom and kernel, it went to boot twice until phone went into boot animation screen. Is it normal ?
All i know is that it would only happened if i i'm on s-on, i'm s-off, and everytime i try to disable smartflash on recovery, it went enabled again

smartflash from recovery always stays disabled
check from the 4ext updater if you have enabled permantly the smartflash
Hello,
I have a big problem with my old HTC Sensation.
I tried nearly everything out of other topics, but nothing worked....
The story: Suddenly my Sensation rebooted and from then on it is stuck in an endless bootloop.
The bad thing is, that it was stock/S-ON at this moment.
Informations about the phone:
***UNLOCKED***
Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL
HBOOT: 1.27.0000
Radio: 11.24A.3504.31_M
-> I am able to install RUUs (3.33), but after installation i am still in the bootloop
-> I am able to unlock/relock the bootloader
-> I can install a recovery via fastboot, but can't boot into it => bootloop
Maybe you have got a hint to bring the Sensation back to life.
Thank you!
Since your bootloader is unlocked, you can use fastboot to do stuff. Most of the HTC Sensations have a HBOOT version that causes bootloops when flashing roms because their kernel doesn't seem to install properly when flashing roms. The ROM should consist of a file inside the zip, usualy in the kernel folder or in the root of the zip that is called boot.img. That is the kernel. First of all, you need to download the tools that have the fastboot and drivers included. Then unzip all of the contents into a folder. Run and install the drivers that that have come in the folder. Then go into the fastboot and adb folder. Shift rightclick onto the empty space of the folder and click open command window here. Then boot your phone into bootloader mode. You can do this using power button and volume down while your phone is off. Once youre in fastboot mode, navigate to fastboot using up and down volume keys. Then press the power button. Plug in your phone to your computer using your HTC sync cable. Then in the adb and fastboot folder, copy your roms boot.img into the folder. Then in the command window, type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' without the quotation marks. It should say sending and then writing. The process should take no longer than 20 seconds. Once done, restart your phone. Wolla, your rom should now be working properly!

actually he can't even boot to the recovery in order to flash any rom
so what's the point of flashing the boot.img manually?
You can use Sensation all in one kit v3 to unlock boot loader, read this thread for more detail
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497404
after unlocking boot loader, then go to this thread to download 4EXT recovery then use kit to flash recovery, remember to download image file, not zip file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
boot to recovery, then enable smart flash and flash any cook ROM you want. Remenber to wipe everything after having enable smart flash then flash cook ROM
good luck

actually first has to wipe and then enable smartflash
Thank you for your ideas!
But unfortunattly i tried most of the things.
@ kevinspl2000
I think normaly the RUU would also install the Boot Image.
But I also tried to manualy flash the boot.img out of the RUU via fastboot, but no success.
I am not able to flash a Custom ROM, because of no Recovery...
@stripeqn
The point is that I am not able to boot to Recovery...
I can flash the Recovery via fastboot, but I am not able to boot into it.
I tried different versions of CWMR and 4EXT but no success...
When I click on recovery, it just shows the HTC Logo and bootloop again

I think I have a solution. When I installed my custom recovery at first, I also got bootloops when trying to go into the recovery. What I did, is I refalshed the recovery, and then did fastboot erase cache. It wipes all of the cache, and fixed my bootloop before. Try that and see how we get on...

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.
