Good day, guys! I have some questions...

1. I have -> in my sign, ROM already installed, but for new ARHD ROM need new Firmware: Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU, but if flash ROM was crash, how can i flash old firmware? 4EXT CWM can restore old firmware or not?

2. New Firmware 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU will delete old hboot and ENG S-OFF or not?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Desperanto86:
1. 4ext cant restore firmware!

2. new firmware will delete old hboot and engineer bootloader

to restore old firmware you sould to flash ENG HBOOT and install GB RUU from .exe
[HTC Sensation] AlexPebody:
Oh... But in new hboot not all firmware unloked for root and s-off... :(

1. If new firmware install new hboot and delete s-off, device get soft brick or not?

2. Where i can take firmware for my ROM now?

3. Can i flash official ROM from exe file or this method get soft brick?

Thanks!

Where can I find the firmware for the Cincinnati Bell Sensation? I know the CID is HTC_017.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
All firmware are here User Friendly Firmware Upgrade ,

choose firmware Package according to your cid and mid ( if you are not super cid ) , and choose firmware version according to the Custom Rom you plan to install

if you are on GB and want to install GB then no firmware required

if you are on GB and want to install ICS ( you should be S-OFF ) choose firmware version according to the Custom Rom you plan to install ( latest Custom Roms and Firmware are v3.32 )

if you are on ICS and want to go back to GB , ( you should be S-OFF ) install firmware 1.17
[HTC Sensation] mwl1119:
The problem is that I am s-on with stock recovery and supercid and have firmware version 1.23.000 gingerbread. I can't s-off 1.23.000 to downgrade. I basically want to get back to my regular cid as cincinnati bell is now sending out the ICS OTA's.

Udating the firmware

Hello!

I dont know if this question have been asked before so please excuse me if it has. I want to update to a newer version firmware package. Is their a certain way of doing this or can i just flash the new package? Will this automatically overwrite the old version or is their a way to remove the previous package and the install the new one??

Any advice will be appreciated

Thank you
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
It will overwrite the older files and you just put the package on the root of your sdcard and boot into the bootloader.

what is in that. my phone cant open after i have installed your firmware.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
and why did you do that ? , never install firmware unless from a known source and fits your Rom version and region , always flash firmware from OP of this thread

if your device still power on then do the following:

remove this PG58IMG.zip from SD Card " 1.29 firmware " , and put suitable firmware instead , and boot into bootloader then go to recovery and super wipe

if you are on GB , flash firmware 1.17 according to your cid

if you are on ICS , flash firmware according to your Rom base and your cid , recent ICS Roms are basd on firmware3.32

hello,

How do i do this step ?

1. Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid and MID using fastboot getvar mid

What is the CID ? what is the MID ?
[HTC Sensation] StuartTheFish:
What do you mean add it to the info file? I'm just trying to find the correct radio for h3g UK.

So with SuperCID I can use any of these, but I still need to flash different ones depending on the ROM I'm using, correct?

Sorry for noob questions, this is a step up from my ChaCha :p

It really doesn't matter truely unless trying to flash a stock ruu.

It can be done in either order. I always did rom then firmware so i wouldn't had to take my sdcard out but if you do firmware first then rom they both work the same.

ROM is like the operating system on your computer (win, osx, Linux)

Firmware is like the BIOS in a sense. :)

They need to coinside to work properly but as long as both get updated in the end. It'll work

I tried to install cyanogenmod 9 today, but the phone keeps restarting, so i had to go back to the backup.

I checked the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24883337 thread, it links to this one so i was guessing i have to install this first before i can go for the cyanogenmod.

But all the links are offline, do you have a new link for the software mentioned in the quoted link? I think it would just be the right one for me.

Hey Mike, was the new firmware supposed to update my bootloader to 1.29.0000? mine was 1.27.1100 before now. will this cause any problems for me, adb, fastboot, etc?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
New firmware has the new bootloader. It has locked fastboot, I don't know if there is modded 1.29 with unlocked fastboot yet. Personally I think that is no problem for you unless you use fastboot very often :)
[HTC Sensation] GuerillaTech:
thanks for the info. :p i don't use fastboot very often, only if i want to use a new splash, but that's ok. Do you have any hunches on why they lock fastboot?

I think fastboot was always locked by default on Sensation.

Been at it for months now. I'm loosing hope.... Might be too deep down. But hey, there is always stockXE, just need to wait for the kernel source ;)
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
stock xe kernel underclocks for normal sensation despite they are same... Maybe it's hidden in hboot where it sends command to kernel on boot to remain @ 1.2 ghz...
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
dont get me wrong, i htink u guys are doing a great job, wish i could help out. im wondering if its something really deep on the chip that needs jtag programming to change. wondering if the 1.2GHz chips were rejects of 1.5GHz and branded some way which the new firmware is reading.

like u say may have to wait and wait and wait for HTC to release their kernel source once they finish the ICS build :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] Shidapu:
That i've already read somewhere :P But maybe there are some hidden tweaks in there that optimizes the XE better than Sensation?.. Just for the show.. :p

These are all assumptions, but if i we're a big corporation like HTC, i'd not optimize the Sensation firmware the same as XE..

Good read about qualcomm cpu. Also, google cpu binning.

@Mike and others, now we just need to know wherever they put some value within the chip or somewhere else
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
If its a value within the chip why not use it on the original XE build though why just use build.prop? Seems they worked hard on stopping us making a 2 differently priced models the same :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Qualcomm is a different brand... I don't think they would release processors with same chipset number and model with different speeds just because HTC asked them so...:-/

if it was inbuilt then qualcomm would have changed the model # aswell..

It's the HTC that must have done something to it through software to keep it at 1.2 for normal sensation...

---------- Post added at 04:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 AM ----------

Maybe kernel recognizes some batch of imei # specific for each xe and sensation... Just my assumption...
[HTC Sensation] aNYthing24:
Like the post explained, chip makers are conservative. The SoCs inside the Sensation were deemed not to be completely stable at 1.5 GHz. But as we've seen, there's no real issue overclocking it to 1.5 GHz.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
From what I remember, the kernel checks the model ID of the CPU and sets the frequency based on that. Which means that the CPU's own firmware tells the phone what it is, and that's not something you can change. Mike, however, has a plan. =)
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
If that's the case I don't see any way round it other than itsy programming the chips software or changing the kernel which needs source..
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
I thought this was explained by this awhile ago

I assume it stands for the latest update
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
What if you could over-rule the model ID in software? :-)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
faux123 told be it's efuse configuration that sets 1.2 or 1.5 GHz and we can't change it. Only solution is custom kernel, but we don't have latest source.

Both are correct. If you want to keep your hboot then flash the 3.33 without the HBOOT file.
