Sensation XE freezes after new ROM

[parostberg]

I have rooted my HTC Sensation XE.
Then I have tried to install [ROM] Revelation 1.0.1 | JB | Sense 4+ and [ROM][JB][Sense 4+][07.07] Team Venom 3.1.1.
But when the phone reboots it freezes when showing the HTC logo.

1. I press "down volume" and START
2. Recovery
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Advanced Wipe Dalvik cache
5. Wipe cache partition
6. Install zip from sdcard / Choose zip from sdcard/Revelation_1.0.0.zip - Yes, install
7. Clean install (Sensation XE)

Any ideas what can cause this?

You need to install 4EXT recovery. Enable smartflash (tools>enable smartflash). After that, you need to flash the boot.IMG of the ROM manually via adb.

Don't take me the wrong way, but this is a very common issue.
Take the time to Google and Search first!!!

You just need the proper boot.img.
Either flash it using fastboot, or use 4ext SmartFlash!!!

Thanks for the reply.

I used 4ext SmartFlash and got the ViperS installed. But then I got problem creating Exchange and Hotmail accounts, I also had repeted questions about accessing facebook with Sense.
Therefor I installed Revelation 1.0.0 instead.
Installation was fine, but I had a message telling that there was one update pending. It also gave information that I had to set S-OFF.

Now the phone just reboot when the HTC logo shows.
It doesn't help to restore the old working installation.
The smartflash is enabled in 4Ext, even if I disable smartflash, when I reboot and go to recovery and 4Ext, the smartflash is enabled...

Try flashing boot.img manually.

Extract boot.img from your current rom's zip.

Then put your phone in fastboot, mode and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

You may want to backup if you have data that you need to save.

Jam that thanks button.

Thanks, I will try that!

By the way, should the Sensation XE be in S-OFF or S-ON for ViperS and Revelation?

ANY ROM can be flashed S-ON (based on your current firmware, of course). The above roms are based on 3.32/3.33. If you upgraded to ICS via HTC OTA, you're good to go S-ON.
You do need to enable 4ext SmartFlash if you're flashing S-ON though (or flash the boot partition manually).

I use to boot.img from the zip file (it's only 8.1MB?)
C:\android>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (8126 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.852s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 9.391s]
finished. total time: 11.249s

Then when I reboot the phone, the HTC logo appear and then dissappear and the screen is black... (I feel like a compete noobie...)

Try this:

1. Enable SmartFlash.
2. Do nandroid backup.
3. Do a full wipe except sdcard.
4. Flash rom.
5. Reboot.

If I run: fastboot flash boot boot.img and then install the zip file. It works with ViperS 3.1.1. But it's not posible to add a Exchange account/Hotmail.
Anyone have a fix for this?

It's also possible to install Revelation 1.0.0, but I get a error message about pending update when installing the update 1.0.1... - but i am fine with ViperS if I can have the Exchange account working. I had the sam error in Revelation 1.0.0.

[parostberg]

Thanks for the reply.
So the workarround is to install 3.0.0 and then backup the accounts, and then install 3.1.1 and restore the accounts.
How about adding accounts later?

I have also found a bug with background syncronisation with Facebook: I get a constant message that ask me to activate background syncronisation. And it comes back when choosing "Yes".

Is it only me that have these issues, if so, what's special with my installation/phone?

See this.

man decrease the font size ..i get the point and solution is pretty simple for you

first relock the bootloader

to do that ...connect the phone from bootloader to pc ..(if properly connected phone should say FASTBOOT USB ..if its saying HBOOT ..press power button once )

then open command prompt from your adb/fastboot folder (i think you already have this folder ..if you did UNLOCK of bootloader ..generally on C:/Androidsdk/tools )

then type this command ..
fastboot oem lock

once that is done

go to firmware thread
link here

get the 3.33 universal firmware ...copy it to top of your sdcard (i mean to sdcard/ use a card reader to do this )
and flash it (flashing instructions in the same thread)

then install any ICS/JB ROM it should work

he sent me a pm 2 days ago and i gave him the same solution
i don't know why he didn't do it yet

edit: is it necessary to lock the bootloader first?

yeah he might need to
sometimes the bootloader wont read the PG58IMG zip file from the sdcard
