Flash it using this command:

 fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-pyramid.img

Then reboot the bootloader. Now, go into recovery, go to the Wipe section, do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe system, then install this ROM: http://files.tamcore.eu/android/pyra...08-pyramid.zip

After you install that ROM, reboot the phone and once it reboots and stays stuck at the htc screen, pull the battery and go into the bootloader then flash the boot.img that I attached in the post that I gave you the link to. Now reboot. If your phone boots up then I will give you further instructions on how to flash kernels with S-ON using the recovery so you don't run into any problems in the future.

connection to pc/computer is not proper

you should not use usb 3.0 ports use only usb 2.0 ports
no USB hubs either
if using PC ..connect to back prots of the PC

the data transfer is failing thus the problem is either connection or the data cable

My work here is not done In order to flash kernels through the recovery while being S-ON you need to install a recovery called 4ext and enable smartflash in 4ext. Download this application, install it, and use it to install the latest 4ext touch recovery: http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk

These are quoted instructions from a thread on how to install 4ext and enable smartflash:

Like I explained in Step 3 when you want to flash roms with S-ON you need to have smartflash enabled, and now we have a rooted phone you can enable permanent smartflash! Here's how.

Installing the 4EXT Recovery Updater

1. Go to the 4EXT website and download the free 4EXT Recovery Updater.

   • You can also use the 4EXT Recovery Control application, which is available in the play store and has more features. (But isn't free)

2. Put the .APK file on your SD card like we did before with the ROM zip
3. Open your File Management application of choice (IO File Manager for example)
4. Search for the .APK file you previously put on your SD card and click "Install"
5. Open the 4EXT Recovery application
6. Press "Online install | upgrade"
7. The application should ask you to connect to 4EXT.Net servers to synchronise, press yes
8. If you don't have the newest version of the 4EXT Recovery application the application will ask you to update, if not just continue

   • If you updated the application it will close, so re-open it

Now you have installed and updated the 4EXT Recovery Updater, next we'll be enabling permanent smartflash in the application.
There are 2 ways to do this;

• The first way is to upgrade your recovery (which is highly recommended), go to Step 5A.
• The second way is through the settings menu, which will just enable smartflash, go to Step 5B.

5A. Enabling smartflash through updating recovery

1. Open the 4EXT Recovery application
2. Press "Online install | upgrade"
3. The application should tell you your phone model (HTC Sensation /XE), if this is the case press "Yes" otherwise press "No"
4. Now you will see a list of 4EXT recovery versions, simply press the top (should be in red) and press "Install"
5. At the end of the installation the application should ask you: "Is your device S-ON? Answer yes if unsure.", press "Yes"

5B. Enabling smartflash through the settings menu

1. Open the 4EXT Recovery application
2. Press "Settings"
3. Choose the tab "Recovery"
4. Scroll down until you see; "S-ON: 4EXT SmartFlash, and tick the box next to it

You should now have permanent Smartflash, you no longer have to enable smartflash inside the recovery itself when you flash a new rom.
