I have put the Cm 9 nightly Rom onto my sensation , and  my backups have failed. Everytime i turn my phone on it goes to the lock screen so i thought hey this worked... but then i unlocked it and everytime i click a icon it freezes and reboots on me and keeps on doing it someone please help!

Thanks,

Ps. first rom flash i have done...

I have the same problem. I've installed CM 9 RC1: as long as the phone is locked after booting up, I can see that the wallpaper animation is working. After a few seconds of unlocking, the phone freezes and reboots.

I tried restoring to the CM7.1 backup but the md5 check failed. Finally restored to stock HTC Sense. But of course, I want CM9.

Yes that exactly whats happening with me id like to get my htc stock back so i can at least use my phone cause my backups are failings so how'd you get the HTC stock back?

On the initial flash of CM, some people have found that flashing the rom twice has helped.
Also, CM 9 and CM 7 require different firmware levels to run. After flashing a 4.x.x compatible firmware then flashing CM 9, you won't be able to restore to a CM 7 Clockwork backup without reverting to an older firmware first.

Can either of you provide more detailed information on what firmware you have?

For example, when I reboot my phone into the bootloader, it shows:
it has S-OFF
HBOOT 1.27.0000
RADIO 11.22.3504.07_M
I'm using one of the CM 9 nightlies, and obtained the firmware from XDA's thread ?t=1412618


for radios, you can check the support downloads link on the wiki.

Yeah sure my firmware is:
Im s-off
HBOOT 1.17.1111
Radio 10.14.9035.01_m

Same here. The lock screen works fine. However, after unlocking the phone works only for 1-2 seconds, freezes and reboots.

Flashing twice did not help.

Here's what my bootloader screen looks like:


-Revolutionary-
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT - 1.17.1111
RADIO - 10.14.9035.01_M
eMMC-boot

It looks like you both have HBOOT 1.17.1111 and RADIO 10.14.9035.01_M.
That's the problem. You're going to have to update the HBOOT version and possibly the RADIO in order to run ICS roms.

You can try one of the newer ones on the support wiki: hxxp://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Sensation:_Support_Downloads
I can't remember what is the minimum level you're going to need, maybe someone else can help, or you can check the XDA forums.

Well i also was researching and i found that you might need superCID and update on the frimware is that true ?

Apparently it is. Super CID might be optional, but the firmware update + factory reset/wipe is absolutely necessary for CM9.

Agreed, Super CID would be optional (as in, I was able to perform a firmware update + factory reset/wipe, without Super CID).

Has anyone been successful with this? I have the following versions and I'm getting the same behaviour as the users above.

HBOOT: 1.17.2008
RADIO: 11.15.3504.16_M

[johnmachan]

I've upgraded my firmware to v3.32 Universal (Non-TMOUS) and the phone does not detect my GSM network in India. The bootloader screen now reads:
--Revolutionary--
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100
RADIO-11.22.3504.07_M
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131

My bad! I hadn't put the cover back on. Guess the cover forms the GSM antenna or part thereof.

Ok, since no one here likes to share HOW they fixed it,  Im going to share how I did it.
I had the same exact problem.
The reason it didnt work is because your are still using the Gingerbread firmware.
You need to go here:
http://forum.xda-dev...d.php?t=1459767

Get the 3.32 version.  Make sure that if you use T-Mobile, you get the TMO version.
You cant use 3.33 until you have 3.32 first.
Put the firmware file on the root of your sdcard and go into recovery.
If you are using CMS it should see it and offer to update.
Do that and then remove it from the sdcard when it is finished and you are shut back down.
Now that you have the proper firmware, you can go through the CM install steps and re wipe and re install.
Hopefully that works for you.

I recall mentioning before that the HBOOT an RADIO needing to be updating, and you are right, the reason is because they had the Gingerbread firmware.

Thanks for the link. I couldn't remember where I got 3.32 from at the time, or what the minimum version for ICS was.
