installing icecream on sensation_shipped test rom 2.08

I have a z710 sensation, s-off

I have installed test version of official rom (rom details are on my signature) I didn't make any changes more on device.

now can I install this mikey's icecream normaly?

should I downgrade?

guide me plz :)
[HTC Sensation] Kukussi:
What am I doing wrong here? I open android.text to input my CID/MID but I can't save it when I'm done.

Damn I wish my laptop hadn't died on me! Trying to do everything from my phone is annoying!

Thanks in advance for youre help guys!

If you are using ES File explorer you need to turn on the ROOT settings root explorer and mount file system as writable to be able to save the file.

Why wouldn't you SuperCID?

I have a question for you guys. It seems there is put much effort in making this new firmware suitable for many different CIDs, while it is recommended to become SuperCID before installing this firmware (I see lots of trouble with wrong CIDs around here).

What is the reason not to become SuperCID? The only reason I can think of is that with the new hboot version, it is not immediately possible to go back (fastboot commands are disabled), so you need hboot v17 first.

Furthermore, the only reason I can think of for wanting to go back is in case of warranty returns or so.

Is there another reason not wanting SuperCID? From my understanding it's just a "label" in the phone, so it doesn't affect signal strength / how good your radio works etc. Am I right?
[HTC Sensation] Kukussi:
Did that, I press save and when I re-open android.text it hasn't change.
[HTC Sensation] vulfgar:
I'm a bit confused. I updated firmware to hboot 1.23, my CID was on the list and everything went well. I thought I'll try and make superCID afterwards (to see if it could be done), with hboot 1.23 and it seemed like the fastboot commands worked. When I check cid with

fastboot getvar cid

it shows superCID 11111111, but if I check with CID getter it shows HTC__Y13 (the original CID). :confused:

The phone works fine, so I'm not experiensing any problems, but I'm really curious why it differ and which value is correct. Anyone who knows? I can add that I've checked

fastboot getvar cid

with 2 different computers, and I've checked the 2 different methods with multiple restarts and a reflash of the rom between.
[HTC Sensation] Gödel:
This is a common problem, there's a recent thread about this in [Q]. Fastboot should be correct, interesting that the command worked. I'm curious if you can use flash commands as well.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
fastboot flash commands do not work. Those are the commands you lose.

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

fastboot getvar cid is the correct one
[HTC Sensation] _nima:
is there any idea?

I want to install now. is there any threat??

I have a new question!

my hboot version is 19.000 and revolutionary has not 19! my old hboot was 17, now i select 18 and enter serial number and other things, it gives me the old one beta key! so, can i use this beta key for my current hboot version (19)?

my rom is a shipped test rom 2.08 and sense 3.5, now I want to install this revolutionary rom WWE.

cheers.

[HTC Sensation] mbangia630:
so i tried flashing the firmware. it started the update. updated the HBOOT, rebooted the HBOOT but then aborted the rest of the update. Now when i try flashing it, it says Model ID is not correct. I cant even flash recovery again.

I was running Insert Coin before ICS, wanted to flash ICS one. if i flash the ROM, it doesnt work because the rest of the firmware isnt updated.

any idea what i can do?

I've flashed the lastest firmware, but it seems that I get no bars 75% of the time. But when I make a call, its fine. I wonder if these low bars on the radio are actually visual, and not a functional problem. I also have the 4g mod, and stock battery mod installed. I wonder if its the mods making the bars disappear. Any suggestions? I was wondering if we used the mod Faux uses. He uses the dBm meter in place of the bars. This way you could actually see the dBm drop.

Don't be sorry, questions are how you learn

If you are comfortable with adb load into the bootloader and do

fastboot getvar cid

fastboot getvar mid

If not get the app CID getter.

Cid is top in red

Mid is under ro.mid

[HTC Sensation] marduk79:
It is supposed to say Locked and it's supposed to mean nothing except that you cannot flash splash screens or have advanced fastboot commands. The reason you may be getting the error message when you try to reflash may be because you already flashed it.

[HTC Sensation] giannis-21:
your cid is ton listed so:

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

2a. If your CID and MID are supported by default, navigate to point 3.

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

2c. Open PG58IMG.zip (don't extract it)

2d. Open android-info.txt in text editor

2e. Add your cidnum: <your CID> or modelid: <your MID> to the list, save file and close archive

3. Place PG58IMG.zip on your SD card

4. Boot your device holding power button + vol down button

5. Follow instructions on the screen

[HTC Sensation] techn0crat:
Wow.

This is really messy compared to what it used to look like in older devices, right?

I came from a G1, the HTC Dream---

There was once a tweak written by a brilliant Brit that goes by "FireRat"- and

He noticed that some ROMs leave extra space in /system- and since /cache can also be reduced, he made a tweak that allowed /data to take extra space from the other two, less-utilized partitions. The results were amazing! Responsiveness increased exponentially---

Reviewing things like this-- ((and I don't think I've ever gotten fdisk to work with the sensation.......))

And running ROMs like Virtuous that leave LOTS of MB free in /system----

Isn't there room for improvement? Cannot those MBs be allocated more efficiently?

Why don't we use SWAP anymore? Why is MTD re-partitioning only suitable for older devices?

Anyone?
[HTC Sensation] blitzkid:
Very great!
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
I too came from a g1 and this beats the heck out of making gold cards.

The reason these tweaks aren't needed is because on the sensation you get 4 gigs. 3 are dedicated to the OS and 1 is dedicated to applications. Because the massive size there is no need for these tweaks or even a2sd anymore.

Swap is still used in a form by some kernels but is called zRam. The problem is every other release some tweaks cause zram to have kernel panics causing reboot after reboot. I know faux kernels usually have zram support and bricked will reenable it soon.

[HTC Sensation] inks:
more partitions info

I've been wondering why the sensation has so many partitions, and whether any of them are used to log flashes, bootloader flashes, etc. I wished to know just in case I wanted to restore back to a Telstra 'untouched' state. My Sensation only has 31 partitions (I don't know why mike1986 has 60).

I compared all my partitions from stock (Telstra -> root -> dd) with my current CM7-a10 (after Rev S-Off, fastboot writecid method, multiple Sense / CM7 GB flashes), noticing these differences:

mmcblk0p3 registers S-Off (as noted before)

mmcblk0p4/p5 registers fastboot superCID

mmcblk0p31 (misc) registers my original Testra CID, and the last version (mainver) of PG58IMG.zip you flashed, eg. 1.72.401.1, with zeros from 0x4200 onwards

mmcblk0p16 (dzdata hdr) is actually a duplicate copy of mmcblk0p31, truncated after 256k

(mainver) of PG58IMG.zip you flashed, eg. 1.72.401.1

Other expected differences:

hboot

boot

recovery/system/userdata/cache/devlog (all mountable filesystems)

Unaccounted differences:

mmcblk0p25/p26 (modem_st1/st2) - does anyone know what these are? radio scratchpad data?

Now, I have never flashed an RUU (wasn't sure if I could revert them, and there isn't a Telstra RUU around, they update maybe 1x for each device lifetime).

My conclusions are:

1. mmcblkp16 and p31 are altered when you flash with PG58IMG.zip. Also, p31 contains the original and p16 is but a copy (I tested this). Furthermore, p31 is the labelled 'misc' partition under /proc/partitions, p16 is not.

2. If I have GB: with the exception of modem_st1/st2 (is this even directly writeable?), all changes can be reversed (dd write back old rom & radio, rewrite mmcblk0p31/p16, fastboot unsuperCID, revert hboot, S-on)

3. If I've flashed ICS firmware: I *should* be able to downgrade to eng hboot, delete the extra partition (delete p31 & 32, repartition, zero, rewrite p31/p16), then follow step 1.
