Were you doing clean installs?

What you mean? I buy this phone before one year, it was rooted with Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_3.6.7 and now I want flash ICS ROM. I try ROM manager and than flash from boot menu where I choose zip file, but no effect..

He means, did you wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache/dalvik prior to flashing? Or did you just flash over your old ROM?
Also (I doubt this is the issue, but it's common over in the One XL forums), are you sure you have a Sensation (not the Sensation XL)? I would assume that Sensation ROMs will not boot on the Sensation XL and visa versa.

I have classic Sensation and yes I clear cache and dalvik (do wipe before), but stil no working... meanwhile I have stock ICS ROM...

Are you s-off?

the problem is that when i try to go to recovery i see the recovery background image and nothing happens so i can't install other version of the rom.
never mind, i got it to work.
all i had to do is press VOL UP + POWER button.
everyday i learn new things
Tried to update from CM7.2 to CM9.1 by instruction:
1. wipe data
2. wipe cache
3. wipe dalvik
4. flash rom..
5. reboot
and 9.1 didnt run at all.. bootloop..
also tried
1. wipe all
2. flash
3. wipe all
bootloop...
1. wipe all
2. flash
3. wipe all
4. gapps
5. wipe all
bootloop...
rolled back to 7.2 - works fine..
p.s.
sorry for my english
Why are you NOT wiping (formatting) boot and system? If you don't your leaving all the files for the previous rom installed hence why your having issues...
Installation is so easy if you use a bit of thought,
Format boot, system, data, cache and SDext DONOT FORMAT SD CARD!
Flash rom then flash gapps then reboot.

[Q] Why doesn't Miui work for me?

I have installed various Miui builds only to be confronted by force closes, including Systemui.apk. This is right off the bat, from the first reboot. I have Blackrose 2.02
S-Off and 4Ext Touch Recovery RC5 on an HTC Incredible S. I made sure to do a factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik, and wipe all partitions except sd card before installation. I flashed a recommended boot.img, as well. Please help, I think Miui is a gorgeous rom and would love to use it.
I have tried:
MIUI.us_vivo_v4_2.8.31_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed.zip
vivo-MIUI-v02-signed.zip
miuiandroid_vivo-2.8.31.zip

have you considered doing a full wipe and flashing the rom again, and fixing permissions or flashing a different rom to see if the audio works?

if the audio worked on one rom and not another, then the system files arent flashing properly.. what recovery are you using.. and like i said have you tried flashing the rom over.. and if so what steps do you take when doing a "full wipe" to flash the rom?

okay, ill say this once again.. *then i think ill add it to my signature*... if you take the proper steps to flash a rom.. make sure that rom is working properly before you do any additional mods to the rom and then say something like the rom is broken or something isn't working../ and also what recovery are you using.. because if your s-on and using any other recovery other than 4EXT your kernel might not flash properly...

i just downloaded fourth bar and its great i love it and everything is working fine i just want to give you a big thanks for everything and for helping me :good:
it's no problem man, i look out for people having issues that i might have had before, or that i already read about somewhere... and yes fourthbar is one of my fav rom's for the amaze so far since its built on cm9 .. but its cool that everythings working once again.. don't forget to make nandroid backups after you flash a rom successfully and before you try and flash another rom

Black screen on every non-stock ROM.

So I had a Desire C for an year or so, and I flashed the heck out of it, so I am fairly experienced with flashing, rooting, adb/fastboot commands and that kind of stuff. For two weeks now I have a Desire X. But after flashing Half-Sense, myONEdx+, mySENSEdx+ (ofc. after flashing boot.img for each one) I just get a black screen (backlit black screen, so it's actually on). But after flashing to a non-backup stock rom (including ones with busybox, init.d support) they work fine. So essencialy I can't flash anything non-stock. Wat do?
Same here, flashed fulmix rom black screen and then reboot to recovery...
Restored backup and woeking...
Using TWRP 2.6 and my own kernel just write protection disabled..

You don't install everything with the ICS Hboot way? and did you do a full wipe (system, data, dalvik cache and cache)?

Yes, SIDENOTE/offtopic I had a soft brick after a few days of use after trying to install ACID audo which led me to reinstall my Windows so the adb drivers work properly and then I could adb push another vanilla zip. All this because I don't have another device with sdcard support lol.

Yeah, I do it every time, and this try on flashing fulmix failed too. I don't get what the problem would be. Is there a way to logcat everything?

Yeah if you are in bootloader or recovery it is possible, although I'm not that good with logcat's

[Q] No KitKat (4.4.X) Rom will boot on Galaxy S3

HI.
I've changed roms before countless times, but now I'm trying to install a 4.4.2 rom on my Galaxy S3, and I have some problems. The installation (flash) passes with no problems, but after that, the phone won't boot. It sticks on whatever the rom's boot animation is. I've tried to wipe data, cache, wipe dalvik after this but it's still not working. Before I flash every rom, I do a factory reset, wipe the dalvik cache, and format system. I've tried with 15+ 4.4.X roms, and these are some of them: CyanogenMod, OmniROM, SlimKat, AOKP, Pacman and so on. As I said, I've flashed roms before a lot of times, without any problem. Only 4.4+ roms wont work. I tried to change the recovery, still the same result. I flash gapps with every rom too. Any idea what can be causing the problem? I'm using the latest Clockwork recovery, Sorry for my bad english and thanks.

Format data and system and cache (full wipe) also intstall the rom then boot it then flash gapps after see if that helps.

I've already done that every time. As I said - Its not my first time flashing roms on my device. I know how to fix the general errors. This is something unusual tho.
Hey
When it bootloops, have you tried to goto recovery and see what us the cwm version??
Also try re-flashing the ROM without wipes..

I just flashed EHNDROIX V (based on CynogenMod 4.4.2 KitKat) last night and it worked just fine.
Rooted the device with Odin, install TWRP from playstore, install TWRP recovery from TWRP, clean dalvik, clean data, clean cache, flash ROM and then flash Gapps (spesific Gapps for the ROM) and voila it worked right away.
Note:
You see, I am not using CWM but TWRP. I dunno if CWM is the one causing the problem.
Most of the weird flashing issues are due to the recovery used, you could also try the latest version of Philz recovery which has an option to wipe for new firmware.

Quote " Before I flash every rom, I do a factory reset, wipe the dalvik cache, and format system" You said nothing about formatting data that is why i suggested it! Next time please include all details on how you flashed the rom then It cuts down on useless post's like mine
Like everybody suggested try a different recovery ( latest one) which if you have flashed roms many times before you should have done anyway
Thanks guys, but I've already tried these things. CWM, TWRP and three other recoveries (not famous ones) haven't been able to help.

If a rom is stuck in a loop, I would go to recovery and wipe dalvik and wipe data then reboot into same rom. This has worked for me when I've been stuck after a flash.

Did you update your bootloader? When I flashed 4.4.2 from 4.4.1 on my s3, I had to update mine to get it to work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321310 hope this helps.
