so i want to install ICS Android Revolution HD ROM on my HTC Sensation.

I was following these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

I successfully S-Offed the phone.

Now im stuck with step 2:

"
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8

1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)
6. Delete PG58IMG from your memory card and you can now root using step 3 below or install a custom ROM using CWM (Customs Roms are already rooted) "

After I did this the phone is stuck in a boot loop!!! I dont know what to do??? ive tried googling but all the answers are so technical got no idea what they talking about...can anyone assist?

I cant help...but I tried loading MIUI rom on my Defy last year...was a total flop. After I flashed it, it would just hang on the Moto boot logo...and that was that. Thank god I found the Motorola software to flash stock rom again. I will never EVER try a custom rom again. I will rather wait for Moto to release ICS to me.

I hope someone can help you. :-(

I think I know your error. Did you use ARHD Superwipe script before installing the ROM? if not, download it and flash it, then flash the ROM again and see if it works. If not, tell if and i'll help you further

Good! So did you permroot the phone? To get the Wifi working I think you will need to flash the firmware package and a new radio. All is listed under Downloads on the ARHD page. And afterwords just remember to Superwipe and flash the ROM again. Just keep trying, too install a custom ROM seems scary but there is really nothing you do that cant be undone.
