TY for your reply. I did not have HTC Sync installed when I started trying. I just installed it (v. 3.0.5617) and tried without success. I then noticed that when Sync was open and my phone was set to the "HTC Sync" connection type, Sync couldn't recognize it either. I have also quadruple checked that USB debugging IS turned on.

Of note is that the command "adb reboot-bootloader" does reboot the phone to the bootloader so there is some communication there.

Also of note is that when it does reboot into the bootloader (white screen) Windows tries to install a device driver and fails. This is new since installing the latest version of Sync.

Next I will uninstall Sync once again, try it, install "old" driver, and try again.

UPDATE: uninstalled Sync, no dice. Installed "old" 3.0.0.0.07 driver and still does work.

I do have a question. Am I supposed to run the "fastboot getvar cid" command while the phone is in the bootloader (white screen) or fully booted up from the home screen. I have been trying both ways but wanted to know which one it is so I don't have to keep rebooting the phone if I don't have to.

---------- Post added at 11:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------

Tried one last time after removing the drivers through device manager and re-installing the "old" version for the third time today and it miraculously worked. I don't think I did anything differently... so frustrating.

CID: T-MOB010

MID: PG5810000

And I'm off to download firmware.

So we dont need to flash 3.32 firmware if we already have 3.30? only thing i see changed is the updated android-info.txt...

You don't need to.

Hi Mike,

In this new FW, we always find same Hboot Unlocked (1.27.*) ???

No, you absolutely don't have to update the firmware if you have 3.30 already.

[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
firmware 1.17

choose it according to your cid ( way to find cid is in the link )

if you are super cid , use any 1.17 firmware

do the downgrade according to the 12 step in thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

firmware 1.17does not include GB Radio , so after you downgrade , install a GB Radio from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1178143

is there a work around or just a hint for wrong S-ON with hboot 1.23

to mike1986 , other members are welcomed also with their ideas

is there a

work around or just a hint

for members who are on hboot 1.23 and done wrong S-ON ( wrong S-ON with hboot 1.23 )

is there a way to flash Firmware 3.30 or 1.17 while S-ON , using htc dev unlock method ( bootloader unlocked )

Does removing some items ( like radio ) from Firmware would allowing to flash with htc dev unlocked or it would cause a brick

how to flash hboot 1.18 over the hboot 1.23 while S-ON

does flashing RUU ICS 3.30 ( to get official 1.27 ) and then unlock bootloader and flash 3.30 would work

this is not for me

[HTC Sensation] BIGMOH:
Quick question Mike,

i seem to be getting the same 3.30.401,101 CL291042 release-keys after updating to the new 3.32.401.3 is this intentional or there is an issue? As the update went through without any errors.

Can anyone who is updating from 3.30 to 3.32.401.3 confirm that it is working after flashing the new FW?

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE.. Please ignore my question answered here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23159668&postcount=55163

Thanks trkaaa
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
this is because maybe you updated the firmware 3.32 only not the rom itself ,

any firmware update

is not reflected in about Phone

( about phone will still show the installed Rom version ) ,

this is usuall

Install Rom 3.32 and it will show up
[HTC Sensation] f10a:
Pardon my ignorance but what is the difference between 3.32.401.3 & 3.32.401.103 RUU?

[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
.3 sensation

.103 sensation xe
[HTC Sensation] f10a:
So can .103 be used on the Sensation 4G to get beats audio or does .3 have to be used?
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
yes it can be used ( .103 ) for Sensation , Sensation XE , and Sensation 4G

it is for the developer to choose to use any of them ( .3 or .103 ) as a base to build his custom Rom

but for us , we can use any custom Rom that is made by the developer either it is built on .3 or .103 for (Sensation , Sensation XE Sensation 4G )

Hey guys,

where can I get the radio 11.19.3504.29_2 that was included in firmware 3.24.401.1 for ARHD 6.1.0? It's possible to only flash the radio, isn't it? This version was the best for my phone.

I just upgraded to 3.32.401.x with ARHD 6.4.0 and the radio got a really bad signal. :(

[HTC Sensation] swissbone:
radio issue

hey guys.

help me out please

i just updated the RADIo according to the "READ THIS" file from the official link...

here is what happens:

sending RADIO.img.....OKAY (3sec)

writing RADIO.img......OKAY (12 sec)

but after rebooting to bootolader, it still says Radio 11.22.....

instead of 11.69......

what did i do wrong?

THX
[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
Who said they're identical? Minor changes at most (least), but even the smallest change will affect checksum.

[HTC Sensation] revilo_regilees:
Can I simply download the 3.24.401.1 zip file and remove all img files except the radio? Will this work?
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Thats fine. Bootloader reports partly about the radio. It only tells the highlighted part.

11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M

Once you have booted up , You can see the full radio version under baseband info.

Im not sure about that, because recently (actually two weeks ago) it was damaged with water, I dried it out but the screen keeps flickering on and off. So I took it to HTC For the diagnostic test to know how much it would cost to replace, they quoted me $677 so i rejected them, when they sent it back, my phone miraculously worked. But I doubt theyd give me a replacement under warranty but I shall try. If not, I shall just move on to HTC Evo 3d

Hello, my dear friends!

I have a strange problem with my phone, Sensation XE.

I tried to install the latest version of mike's ROM, Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.3.1_XE.zip. And, for that, as I read in the instructions, I started to do that by updating RADIO, to Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M, and firmware, to Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU.

Unfortunately, after succesfuly updating RADIO, every time when I start firmware updating I receive message "Installation aborted".

I installed the ROM anyway, which was successfully installed (

with WIPE, of course

). I checked "NO" to Sensation 4G request, "YES" to Bravia Engine and "NO" in frequency (because the phone is Sensation XE).

But now my phone remain blocked after beats audio logo appear on the screen.

I suppose this will be because of failed firmware updating ("Installation aborted"). But every time when I try to install this firmware I receive this message.

My cid and mid is: cidnum: HTC__044, modelid: PG5813001, both already present in PG58IMG.zip file wich I downloaded. Also, I downloaded two time this zip file, without any other result.

Previous time, the installed ROM on the phone was Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_3.6.13.zip.

Any suggestion? Many, Many THANKS!

[HTC Sensation] :
Most likely it's not booting because you have not updated the firmware yet. Check the rom thread to make sure, I believe you want 3.32 for this rom.

You will have to use a PC/SD adapter to put the firmware pmg58.img file on the root of your SD, then reinsert, enter boot loader, and follow prompts.

how to determine installed firmware version

Hi,

I was planning to upgrade to an ICS4 rom and i was referred to updating the firmware.

Determining CID and MID is no issue.

I however can't find the "firmware version" and thus make a choice for which of the zips to download and install. I read the instructions and did my share of searching and i a'm stuck.

tia
[HTC Sensation] cyber_system:
Thanks, I also wondered about that

Could the OP not fix it in first post, to avoid confusions
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
Boot loop is either you did not install the Custom Rom after the Firmware ( the phone searches for ICS Rom to boot and didn't find it , so it restarts again ) , or the PG58IMG.zip is detected during Boot

first remove PG58IMG.zip from SD card

then go to recovery and super wipe and install the ICS Custom Rom

not all ICS require the same firmware , Firmware usually matches the Base ( the RUU which is used as a base to build the custom rom ) , and it is always mentioned in Rom Features

each developer states the version of the required firmware with a link to it ( you can press the link and see the name of the download for version ) , ARHD 6.4 and 6.5 require firmware 3.32 ,
