Hi

Noob problem :(

HTC sensation XE

I had ViperS 3.1.2 and then updated via OTA to ViperS 3.1.3 and at last ViperS 3.1.4 (also via OTA). After that I got stuck on htc white screen.

I can go into recovery with 4ext and followed the steps form here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2082978

1.Boot into Recovery
3.Wipe data/factory reset(Format /system,/cache,/data,etc)
4.Wipe Dalvik & Cache
[enable smart-flash before flashing] FOR S-ON users ONLY
5.Flash ROM [VIPERS JB ROM]
6.DONE

I have tried it with ViperS 3.1.2 (full rom) and ViperS 3.1.4 (full rom) and after I always get stuck on htc white screen.

Attached I posted the logs from ViperS 3.1.2 (full rom) and ViperS 3.1.4 (full rom) instalation

Since this is my 1st post, I'm unable to post it on the correct topic - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216858

Every time I go into recovery mode with 4ext after installing the rom i get the message "4ext smartflash is currently set to update boot partition on next system start"

So apparently I have a problem on boot partition, because the update is never done.

Does anyone have an idea on to fix this?

I hope I'm not infringing any rules to post this question here.

Just to add some more info

I tried to restore a backup that I made, and still I get stuck on htc white screen.

I also tried to install ViperS 5.0.0 JB from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531054 - and stillI get stuck on htc white screen.

Don't really now what else to try :(
try this
format all partiotins except sdcard
enable smartflash
flash the rom

if it fails then flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img

Thanks for your reply

I actually had done this before

if it fails then flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
the command is fastboot flash boot boot.img
And this solved the issue, I had already seen it in this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37229807&postcount=2 - before your reply.

I'm now putting ViperS 3.1.4 (full rom), because when I could start the phone it had the ViperS 5.0.0 JB (to many tries to fix the phone) and after a phew minutes I got to the conclusion that I prefer version 3.1.4

I always forgot SmartFlash back in the days on S-ON.
Very scary to see this on a neatly new device :eek:
