[Q] Sensation will not load past the splash screen...

[LiamRutherford]

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.

ok, so I have been looking at the boot.img part and I found this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xVl2dBTnmI

I have followed it but still am not having any luck.

Still very lost.

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

Thanks - this did the trick. Now to hunt out roms.

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
