mike1986 mind getting help
[HTC Sensation] EricDET:
Mike maybe able to help further but....

Did you unlock using the method posted in the Stickies? If so the firmware update likely overwrote your sim unlock... If you're using a branded device with the regular sim card, I'm afraid that's all the insight I can provide.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Firmware doesn't affect simlock at all.

Your device was branded or not?
[HTC Sensation] hcnsoft:
Hi,

I read many posts and many threads related to ARHD5.x.x, I found the different results about updating this firmware, some good, some bad :D m not sure which one would be mine :)

M using ARHD5.0.2 with Radio10.56.xxx (can say it is stock since I never changed it) and acceptable signal :) and HBoot 1.17.

I have some bugs so I wanna try this 1.20 firmware hope it can help, but m afraid the radio in it, is not matched with my phone carrier since some users just reported no signal or unknown simcard :S :(

Any idea Mike?

I really appreciate your hard work ;)
[HTC Sensation] EricDET:
I unlocked using the diag.nbh file and was using with another network and went back to stock via Ruu and the phone was locked. I guess it was an isolated incident but worked again after the diag.nbh file. I guess I did something wrong then.. lol.
[HTC Sensation] talha_25:
htc sensation
[HTC Sensation] wineds:
ok but is it writeable?
[HTC Sensation] hcnsoft:
Mike please

Can I update firmware without radio?
[HTC Sensation] DakuGaranto:
Just to confirm,

I've succeeded in flashing the firmware, now my bootloader is 1.20.0000 (LOCKED) but immediately after it reboot back to the bootloader, it said model id incorrect, press power to reboot, I hit the power button and it rebooted back to my old rom, so I went into my sd card and delete the PS58IMG.zip. After deleting, I boot back my bootloader and now it did not show the "model id incorrect" error , everything is fine, the bootloader is showing the right version.

Is everything normal?

Btw, I haven't done SuperCID before
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Yes, I think you can. But again - I didn't test it. There are various of possibilities - you can remove radio.img, you can remove new bootloader, you can remove rpm.img etc. but I didn't test those variants. Probably nothing wrong will happen.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Check if your cid number is on the list supported devices in the downloads section.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Everything is writable with correct tools. It looks like in this case our tools are not good enough, adb doesn't dig that deep.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
It just failed flashing some partitions, someone reported exactly.the same.thing before. Just superCID and rerun
[HTC Sensation] mudhi:
thanks mike.

Flashing firmware makes the ROM runs a lot faster. It's jus like turtle became rabbit.

Mine is sensation, I flash the XE firmware zip, success on some like hboot, but failed since the model ID is not the same, I then fool it with the sensation model ID and change the cidnum of my area and success.

I though flashing firmware would fix some issues, but not.

This test rom has a lot of glitches, I hope you can share some knowledge of how to fix it, e.g. htclocation the below 5 icons is for rezound (very small)

syncing music and photos take ages, more than an hour,

beats not fully implemented yet, there is beats effect but no notification, because the com.htc.htchardwaremanager which invoke by htclisten's headsethelper class isn't available yet.
[HTC Sensation] DakuGaranto:
Sorry for being noob, but how do I check my cid number?
[HTC Sensation] hcnsoft:
One more please Mike, :D

Will I have problem with carrier after updating, if I follow what you have tested without removing radio.img? Strange signal or decrease download speed in connectivity?

Now m running ARHD5.0.2, should I revert back to 4.x.x before update this firmware or no need?

Best regards,
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
1. I have no idea if you will have / won't have any signal issues. If your CID matches the ones in the first post, you shouldn't have any issues. But keep in mind this firmware comes from test RUU.

2. No, you don't need to revert.
[HTC Sensation] deadpool2e:
sorry for the Noob question but what is the benifit of flashing back to Hboot 1.17 from 1.20 (which i am on now with s-off)
[HTC Sensation] jahmezis45:
can i flash this ruu without the use of the volume rocker? mine fell off and replacement wont be here until next. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] hcnsoft:
You just edit first post :D

So shouldn't have any issues with SuperCID?

Thanks for your help, :)
[HTC Sensation] DakuGaranto:
Nope, My cid HTC_044. So does it mean I have to SuperCID?

My network, 3g and wifi are all working properly with my current setup

EDIT: Will reply next morning, going to sleep now.... zz
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Can someone provide md5 sum for hboot 1.17 in this post... I upgraded to 1.20 without supercid... Need to revert back for adb commands...
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You are S-OFF aren't you?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
adb commands are working with new hboot.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Oops... I m very weak in this stuff... I thought fastboot and adb commands are same stuff with different applications...:p

Thanks...:)

I don't know if that was for me... U should quote :)

if it's for me, i m S-Off
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I'm doing some updates to the packages. Now they doesn't contain dzdata.img so it doesn't wipe your device. It turned out that dzdata.img has some QUALCOMM Logging tools.

There will be also just one firmware package for both Sensation and Sensation XE.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Apart from flash and most likely write commands.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I think you mean fastboot commands? not adb
[HTC Sensation] chilledrice:
i've downloaded PG58IMG.zip 3 times. (the XE version)

i've been getting MD5, 34fa40ff3115fd6140aa6ac3c3e51d19 for all 3 files. is the MD5 on the fp correct?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
No, I uploaded new files. Wait few minutes.
[HTC Sensation] chilledrice:
ok thanks!
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
How do we check that? :rolleyes:.. i checked that everywhere inside phone but couldnt find it..
[HTC Sensation] chilledrice:
fastboot getvar cid

and i just realise my phone is not part of the list. so which radio should i use instead?
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Thanks... now mine is also not in the list..:confused:.. mine is HTC__621...

I flashed Hboot last night.. its 1.20.. i think it might be supported...
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
You can open android-info.txt inside PG58IMG.zip and add your CID number to the list.
[HTC Sensation] chilledrice:
awesome! thank you mike!
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
First post updated.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
I'd thank you but the gods above tell me no when i try
[HTC Sensation] sterz85:
1. Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid

2a. If your CID is supported by default, navigate to point 3.

2b. If your CID is not supported by default, do this: (you do it at your own risk)

this is where i'm getting confused, how do i check if my CID is supported by default?

Also, since flashing this resets the rom, should we do a full wipe and install a clean rom?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Everything is in the first post.

Before flashing I would recommend you reading the whole first post one more time, carefully. Then read it again, just to be sure you understood what you're doing.

Also on page 25 (so not far away from where we're now) I wrote:

So apart of reading first post at least 2 times I recommend everyone to read the whole thread (yeah, I know - it's damn 27 pages!). This is not ROM thread, this is something theoretical more danger for your device then just flashing ROM because it has bootloader, second bootloader, radio etc. so don't flash it until you don't know what you're doing.
[HTC Sensation] beady_uk:
1. Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid

2a. If your CID is supported by default, navigate to point 3.

2b. If your CID is not supported by default, do this: (you do it at your own risk)

is superCID 111111 not supported? or do we need to add this to the list like in 2b?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Try and tell us.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Thanks mike. If we already flashed is it worth re-flashing?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Nope.

[HTC Sensation] MarylandCookie:
I guess im good to go with modelid: PG5813001 and cidnum: HTC__001 :)

My question is, is there really much benefit apart from the "locked" text within bootloader?
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
I just tried it by Adding my CID in the list... I was Brave..:D...

It worked.... booted but all applications in the ROM were gone.. Radio was updated and Network signals working fine...

Didnt test further as I am just flashing Rom from beginging...

Btw... Should I Nandroid restore or flash New Rom?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
It has more optimised fw/drivers for ICS. People are reporting a faster smoother experience with it for ICS roms.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Oh, that's what it was? Interesting; I couldn't get any results when Googling around so I assumed it was standard radio functions =)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I think in final builds it just wipes data partition. In userdebug builds it wipes data partition + copy QUALCOMM Logging tools.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
I'm not one of them...... :P mind you, I flashed over the top, so that could be the reason, but in exchange I got ultra stable ICS.
[HTC Sensation] MarylandCookie:
Cheers, unless im using/running an ICS rom then i suppose i can hold off for a bit. :)
[HTC Sensation] bender_007:
what if: ...

var cid

cid: 11111111

finished. total time: 0.000s

and

var mid

mid: PG58*****

finished. total time: 0.000s

:rolleyes: ? :)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
You should be able to flash it with no issues.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Your avatar is awesome.
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
so i didnt know to check my cid before flashing firmware. i download the sensation firmware and flashed it under the bootloader. once it rebooted my bootloader says ***Locked*** instead of revolutionary. and my hboot is version1.20 and it did not update my radio. what do i do????? hopefully someone can help me
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Just read the first post few times.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Try flashing this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20681060&postcount=22

This will give you Hboot 1.17 back, so you can SuperCID and all that good stuff.

Else, get the RUU for your phone from the RUU thread and flash back to stock (this will wipe everything), reroot and reinstall your ROM. As far as I know, a RUU will revert your firmware to stock, but it's a last resort method.

Make sure you get the right RUU for your phone. You may also want to wait for someone to verify this before you do it to make sure this will fix your problem.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
This might sound dumb, but is there any performance differences (aside from fastboot commands) between Hboot 1.17 and 1.20? I went back to 1.17...Are there any benefits to staying with 1.20? The only time I used fastboot was to CID to 11111111 in order to flash this firmware (the original that Mike provided).

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
People say there's no speed differences between the two, so as far as I can tell you're good to stay on 1.17. Personally, I'd rather have fastboot available if I need it.
[HTC Sensation] dave.caldera:
Thank you sir, I was searching the thread for this, Happy New Year!
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
it says model ID incorrect when trying to flash back to 1.17. can someone add me on google talk or skype or something to help me xxemoeskimoxx
[HTC Sensation] basscheck12:
I did the same thing. Then I tried to flash hboot 1.17 but it gave me wrong model ID error (that file must have needed super cid also?) So I tried to super cid with hboot 1.20 and it worked just fine. Then I reflashed the firmware package and it installed correctly. From what I've read I shouldn't have been able to super cid with a locked bootloader but I did.
[HTC Sensation] Snah001:
Well, I had the same "problem".

First check if you use the right file.

Run it (PG58...) from bootloader and when you see after checking that the radio is not updated run the Hboot 1.17 (PG58...) file from bootloader.

After that replace this file again with the firmware file (PG58...) and flash again.

Now you will see that it will flash the remaining parts without any problem.

After that not forget to delete the firmware update file.

When you want a unlocked bootloader then flash from bootloader the Hboot 1.17 (PG58...) file again and all will be ok. Also not forget after updating to erase this file.

That did the trick with mine Sensation and now I run GB sense 3.0 with it without any problems
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Yep, this is worth a try.
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
ok i am seriously lost right now. can someone please message me on google talk and walk me through this.i dont want to go further unless im sure what im doing. xxemoeskimoxx
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Anyone else noticed MUCh better in call volume and quality after flashing firmware?

---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

In PG58xxxx with 1.17 hboot txt file (go into zip itself) change modelid: PG5813000 to modelid: PG5813001 then save changes and flash zip.

Do above at your own risk
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
i still recieve model id incorrect
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Do you have adb installed?
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
yes i do

i have it running right now
[HTC Sensation] dave.caldera:
Ok I just flashed the HBOOT 1.17 file. My HBOOT still says 1.20. Any help?
[HTC Sensation] basscheck12:
Just try to super cid with your set-up the way it is.
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
i have never used supercid.
[HTC Sensation] basscheck12:
Follow this step #4.
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
ok so now my cid is 11111111
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
what are results of this commands?

fastboot getvar cid

fastboot getvar mid

You are f*-*-*-d me thinks, without superCID you cannot flash different hboot. But let's see if we can do anything.

You were able to change cid with 1.20 hboot? Good news :)

To be honest, i forgot what was the problem by now lol
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
cid is 11111111

mid is pg5810000
[HTC Sensation] basscheck12:
So now reflash firmware package
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
the newest one or the one with hboot1.17
[HTC Sensation] basscheck12:
First the ics one then if you want unlocked bootloader flash the 1.17 one after.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Rerun firmware update.zip from OP now, radio should update itself. No need to return to 1.17 hboot if you don't need fastboot commands. Also, apparently, radio works better with 1.20 hboot
[HTC Sensation] DAIDY:
mike I have flashed the Firware posted this morning .. I have to re flash the new file posted?
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
ok so i currently have the 1.17 please link me to the right update.zip so i can do that then re flash hboot 1.17
[HTC Sensation] basscheck12:
OP of this thread, no need to reflash to 1.17 after unless you want fastboot flashing.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
^^^^^^huh?
[HTC Sensation] xxemoeskimoxx:
yay everything flashed great now. thanks guys. im goingto leave the hboot to 1.2 for now. THANKS SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] basscheck12:
No sweat glad it worked.

@ Catnap I saw your posts here and on AHRD, suppose super cid works with 1.20 because it not a "flash" command?
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Potentially, yeah. Scotsman tried to flash a splash image as a test and it failed - I'm not putting this firmware on my phone as a) I don't need it b) I like having fastboot and c) it's too new ;)
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Anyone got rils for new radio?
[HTC Sensation] Ashkerlon:
CID

1. is it recommended to SuperCID to the "1's" cuz when i looked up my CID-results=T-MOB010 instead of listed default supported CIDs

2. also if i do change my CID to "1s", would i still be able to change it back to-T-MOB010 and make back to stock if needed for warranty purposes?

People please make all your questions in other specified threads. This thread has not been created for 'flashing problems'. It has been started for finding the differences between 'standard' and XE version
[HTC Sensation] vascocn81pa:
Hi... I have the same question. I flashed the "old" firmware with inside dxdata.img, and now I'm running ARHD 5.02 without problem.

Then, reading the quotes above, i think we dont need that file, so there are some way to remove qualcomm logging tools for who, like us, had flashed old firmware?
[HTC Sensation] jmcdonald58:
Short answer Yes
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
The tools are only installed in specific test software builds; you won't have them.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
He have it if he flashed dzdata_4.img. He can get rid of it by wiping data partition and re-flashing ROM.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
I stand corrected!
[HTC Sensation] hsnmz:
wiping data or any other partition won't require reflashing the RUU, right?
[HTC Sensation] d3vilskid:
no not at all just flash custom rom or nand backup
[HTC Sensation] nootherusername:
You can also check your cid and mid using quick system info app on the build properties page.
[HTC Sensation] jjdoctor:
Can i flash Older Radio like 10.56 after flashing this firmware? The new radio sucks for me...:-/
[HTC Sensation] vascocn81pa:
thanks mike!

I had flashed your package for sensation of early morning with inside dzdata, but after flashing I made a fullwipe with 4ext and your superwipe (i usually make both because i remember cwm sometimes didnt wipe all) and then your 501, 502 and then fixpermission e wipe cache, dalvik e data. So I think I dont have this software qualcomm on my device.

But I think this can be a faq to add in first post, I think many people can have this question :)

thanks again for your work here and in rom thread! :D
