How to setup your HTC Device for flashing with custom Roms

ok this is what you have to do if you want to install/flash with custom rom

This method work only HTC Sensation,HTC Sensation XE and HTC Sensation 4G.I'm not sure about other phone models

No before you start with anything you will have to be sure that you have S-OFF,that you have write super-CID and that you have update to 4EXt touch recovery
If you didn't done all this methods than go to this link and S-OFF,install clockworkModRecovery and write super-CID.For update to 4EXT Recovery Touch we will speak here in this topic

Now after you have done all the things that you should done before flashing with custom rom its time to update to 4EXT Touch Recovery. The only thing because you should update to 4EXT is because most of the custom roms is coming with this kind of recovery and if you make nanodroid back-up with clockworkModRecovery than you will not be able to restore your data  if anything goes wrong. You will see what I'm talking about in the text above.Now lets begin:
-open your phone web browser and type "4EXT.net"

-click in "download free 4EXT Recovery Updater. When the file is downloaded install it
. After the installation is finished click on open and press "online install/upgrade". Allow or click yes in every window that will popup. Than again click on "online install/upgrade". Window will popup press yes or allow and this screen will appear

-Now press on "touch" option and select the latest version by date
-after download the package window will popup saying "flashing new recovery" and after confirming that flashing is done succesfull power off your phone
-Press "volume-" + "power" button
-Hboot screen will appear and select recovery option by using "volume+/-" buttons and phone will reboot in to new recovery touch 1.0.3.It should look like in the screen bellow 

So now when you have done updating to 4ext recovery touch go to back /restore and backup your data. Now you have backup your data. Backup is needed in case something goes wrong,than you will be able to restore your data and go back to your previous stock rom/image


If you coming from stock rom and if you want to flash with custom rom which is coming with sense 3.5/3.6 you will have to update your firmware before you flash with any custom rom with sense 3.5/3.6
It is required to flash first the Firmware Package posted by Mike HERE
You have to flash the Firmware from 3.24./3.25.401.1or newer RUU only once for all !

Once you have updated your firmware you can download your desired custom rom. Put the rom as it is (in zip extension) in root of your sd card. Also you will have to do full wipe before you flash with the custom rom . So download THIS FILE  and also past to root of your sd card 

NOTE:Before you continue with the steps make sure that you have make Nanodroid Backup


Start your phone in to recovery choose back up/restore and make back up. After you have make back up press back and select "install from sd-card" and  select file that you have downloaded before for wiping (this file "Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_Sensation.zip". When the wipe is done phone will reboot in to recovery and now you are ready to flash with custom rom. Again select "install from sd-card",choose your custom and follow the steps and instructions on your phone
