Okay so I recently started trying to flash my phone to different roms but eventually the phone stopped working.

When I switch it on it just goes into the (HTC logo + white screen), then after around 30 secs resets. This just loops forever, yes i can take it into bootloader and recovery and have tried formatting the whole phone, taking it apart to look for burn out parts, flashing to different roms, flashing to the stock rom (Sensation_3.32.401.105_R_odexed.zip) But it is still stuck.

Bootloader

*** UNLOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
eMMC-boot

Also I thought I might mention the the bottom of the phone, where the touch menu buttons are, gets quite hot but this was happening before I even rooted it when I did something resource intensive on the phone.

I will rate any replies as "thanks" so please reply!

Did you flash a GB Rom? You have 3.32 firmware which is perfect for ICS roms, however if you tried to flash a GB Rom with that firmware you WILL bootloop. Because GB roms take a different firmware. So first its important to know which Rom you flashed. Also did you do a nandroid backup before flashing ? If so you should be able to go into recovery and restore with your backup to what you had before flashing. As long as that is compatible with your firmware. Did you do the backup before flashing? Hope this helps some....please provide more information such as the Rom you flashed, and did you nandroid backup before?

See there is a way to flash custom roms.. When you have unlocked bootloader with S-ON.. The standard way of flashing will not work completely

You need to extract the boot.img from the rom zip you've last flashed and use that to do "extra 1" step from this guide

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345

Also read that guide completely.. It explains how to flash roms with S-ON which is your case

If only you read a bit about on how to flash the roms.. With unlocked bootloader.. You would have come out fine.. But nevertheless... Read the guide to the letter
