HTC Sensation XE Viper Rom won't Boot past screen

[adam1240]

Hi everyone, i brought a HTC Sensation XE off someone whos already Hboot/rooted and use a custom rom, however i saw this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671547 Vier 1.6.3

Looked extremely good so i thought i try it, Hboot the phone, went to Recovery, CWM loaded up, did a factory reset/Cache

Installed Rom from Zip

went next on everything on installation so no editing anything (Expect removed a App or two i don't need)

Successful installation

Rebooted, went to boot Screen, HTC Sensation xe (The after the viper load screen) stuck on screen not proceeding to rom

I may be missing something or have to do something involving my PC i don't know the programmes just went straight to Clockwork and did a wipe, installed rom, recommended Full Wip

P.S i also did something stupid and forgot to Back up my last Rom (Opps)

i know it takes awhile to boot first time i waited 20minutes still nothing.

HELP!

are you S-ON or S-OFF?
if you are S-ON use 4ext recovery to flash the rom
and before flashing enable smartflash(only if you are S-ON)

switch off your device
pull out the battery
insert it again
then press and hold together power button+volume down until it shows you the bootloader screen
in the top you will see if it S-ON or S-OFF
actually give all the details that shows

edit: ok then
do as i said
4ext recovery
format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartflash
flash the rom
done

sorry, can't i get links to this? i can't find no option? 4EXT Recovery? is that CWM?

also there's no SMARTFLASH option.

use the volume keys to select recovery and then press power button and let us know what Custom Recovery you have installed 4ext or CWM

You do NOT need to be S-OFF in order to install a ROM.
Assuming that you have HBOOT 1.27+,
Then, have you followed this guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861

Now, if you have succesfully installed 4EXT recovery, and you're flashing ROM with it, then you must enable Smartflash, since you are S-ON.

To enable Smartflash, spot the headline ''3A. Enable 4EXT Temporary smartflash''
from the link above.
Follow the guide.

Once Smartflash has been enabled, it should be OK again.

You also should have made backup. I don't know if it's too late now.
Maybe this helps..

i flashed the boot.img but surely it is not the problem.
