Help! Bootlooping!
First off, I’ve got an S-Off Sensation, and have clockworkmod installed, and did a Titanium backup before I had any of these problems.
I’ve spent several hours reading through different things on this forum, but I keep getting confused with jargon (my own fault, of course). I was just trying to update my firmware, but I had a rom left on my sdcard that I had forgotten about. I accidentally flashed that rom, which also means I flashed it without wiping (since I didn’t realize I was flashing it). I quickly went into clockworkmod and recovered back to the last time I’d saved (which was like 6 months ago, unfortunately), then wiped and tried to flash the firmware. Now I’m getting a continuous bootloop. When I go to the HBoot screen, this is what I get:
-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
RADIO-11.22.3504.07_M
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC-boot
I don’t know if that info helps, but I thought I’d include it. I’ve tried doing factory resets, wiping everything, restoring everything through clockworkmod, various combinations of everything…nothing is getting it out of bootloop.
I’m not sure what step to take next. Obviously I figured out enough at one point to root my phone, but that was just after I first got it last fall. I hadn’t done any updates since, which is why I wanted to get the new firmware!
SO, if you could help me out, in layman’s terms, or with clear directions, or just whatever the hell you want to give in the way of help, I would surely appreciate it! I feel like I’ve lost a limb without my phone!

Hi,
It seems that you have updated the firmware,and should now be able to flash an ICS ROM.
Try THIS ONE
Scroll down ,pick a ROM and use the SuperWipe first.
Benchmarks results depends ,among other things, mostly on the kernel/CPU speed rather than the ROM. Personally i don't trust/like/run benchmarks because they are too "theoric" in my opinion. They indeed give you a clue about raw performance but at the end of the day doesn't show anything but numbers.
I'd rather trust in how the phone perform the tasks/games, real daily usage, cpu and batt temp and batt life. Those are some of the factors that help me decide for X or Y kernel or ROM. Kernel/ROM/Settings are a matter of taste and a personal choice, what is great for me maybe it sucks for you or don't suit your needs. Nobody but you can make that choice and you have to try different options for a considerable time to judge whether or not to keep it. However, a good start point is listen for suggestions
and based on my great experience i'd recommend you to try ARHD with faux kernel.If you want some help in how to do it, follow this guide and you shouldn't have any kind of problems. Even if you have some, post here or in guide's thread and we are willing to help.
Hi,
I have never seen this problem before.
It could be a bad download.
I suggest that you download again,and check the md5 checksum.
Then ,reflash the ROM.

i have also noticed that when i exit from applications menu, it shows the htc logo and takes about 10 seconds to load the homescreen....
about the md5 checksum, how do i check it?
might try to re flash the rom if thats your advice...
Go to settings- apps- All- htc sense and clear data. Reboot and report.

Are you able to boot the phone into the ROM or it just keeps rebooting @htc screen?. I'm sorry but, could you please try not to skip letters when typing? .. that was just hard to read
Try following the instructions posted in this guide redownload all the files, check md5 and start from scratch. You might've flashed the wrong firmware version.Oh sorry about that, my bad. Yea it just keeps rebooting to the HTC logo screen.
Follow that guide, will give you the details you need.
Erm for the firmware im using i think is this one
Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU
The first firmware in the firmware thread, it works with my phone
Does it contains 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M radio?
And the link is not working for now.
For what i did earlier was i just directly clicked firmware download from the ARHD page and it just download PG58IMG which is currently not compatible with my phone
Man im still studying all these sorry if it sounds stupid. The firmware thread is a pain in the ass.. not really sure what im reading :x

Help Please. ROMs wont boot.
I have flashed the correct firmware for ICS ROMs. 3.32, the latest one. I have tried to flash a total of 3 ROMs. And everytime i just boot up and it stays on the boot screen. I waited at least 30min to an hour waiting for each one to boot and they just stay on the boot screen. On the last one i checked the md5 sums and everything, and still get stuck at the boot screen. Does anyone know what could be wrong and why my ROMs wont boot? Please Help

i require more info to completely understand your issue
what is the last custom rom you tried ?
post your complete HBOOT details ...(vol down + power)
also if you have adb/fastboot setup do this
1.keep your device in fastboot mode and connect it to pc (phone reads "fastboot usb" after this)
2.go to your adb folder and type this
fastboot getvar all
post the output here except imei and serial number in the list
then after this i can suggest you the best solution

106Hi guys. Had this idea for a while. There are a lot of people joining xda on daily basis, and there are a lot of repetitive questions being asked which fill up Development threads. Point them here.
First thing first. I strongly advise you to read THIS thread before posting ANYTHING on XDA.
Then, have a quick look at the links at the bottom of this post. You might find what you need right away.
Third. Even if you do get your question answered, please, do come back and read the links in this post to educate yourself. You'll be surprised how much time and frustration it will save you in the future.
ASK ANY QUESTION HERE,adb, drivers, superCID etc...... You will either get an answer or will get pointed in the right direction.
No abuse towards noobs or silly questions is tolerated here!

There is no way you can FAQ everything and to keep FAQ up to date is pain in the ass. Treat this thread as a chat.6Yeah good idea.
We must rember, we were all noobs once.
And we do get a lot of stick and crappy comments at noobs.
I will help out all i can hear.6Post # 5000
This thread is huge, thanks to all of you who have been part of this helpful and very informative project and have shared your knowledge and experience to us.

Hi! to succesfully flash the jb animations you need to follow this steps:
- Download the jb animations .zip from here
- place it on your sd card
- reboot your device on recovery mode
Note: I've used 4ext recovery touch as a reference to the following steps, but you can use whichever custom recovery you want - tap on "mounts | storage"
- tap on "mount /system"
- press back
- tap on "wipe | format > "wipe cache + dalvik"
- press back
- tap on "install from sd card" and choose the jb animations.zip you've downloaded
- reboot device
- enjoy
- . Getting Started
