Hboot 1.17 - 1.20

Hi all

I guess I read everything in this thread, but still there is something I don't get:

I updated the firmware and it seems to me that it updated all what belongs to it, also the radio.

In Hboot loader, it showed me 1.20 as well as "locked", as stated by other users. One of you gave the advice to flash back 1.17 what I did and "locked" is gone.

Now: Is the rest of the firmware of actual state? While flashing back to hboot 1.17 only this part is revert to the "old" version?

For information: I did not super CID first and it said that the update failed. After this I tried the CID thing and after a reflash it passed throug without error message.

The radio remains the same like after flashing to 1.20.

Hope someone can clear this up for me...:confused:

Thank you

Okay...I have read all 36 pages of this thread (twice) and still have a problem.

I followed Mike's instructions below since my CID (11111111) and MID (PG5810000) were not in the android-info file:

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

I added my MID and CID, save to the .zip and when I do a checksum they don't match.

Is this because I changed the android-info file in the zip?

When I don't change it the checksum is fine.
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
Yes. If you change a file the md5 will change. Your cid means you have supercid so it will flash ok without changing it.
[HTC Sensation] sacksyboy:
So I don't need to change the android-info file and add my missing MID and CID???
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
That's correct
[HTC Sensation] sacksyboy:
Thank you Stuart!

It worked.
[HTC Sensation] Rcommander:
someone help me... i don't have access to my desktop with android SDK, i am on a mac right now. i copied the PG58 file to my SD card, fast boot, ok to start update then it rebooted and said ID did not match , i am guessing this is because the cid is not in the file. how do i add it on a mac without extracting the zip and how do i get the cid and mid (TMOUS) from the terminal emulator on the device?

Edit i found the terminal instructions, now how do i add it to the list on a mac wihtout extracting zip
[HTC Sensation] Christopher3712:
I had a similar issue. I found it easier to just flash the stock RUU, flash recovery, restore ROM. I couldn't get it to revert to 1.17 at all, so that worked for me.
[HTC Sensation] Rcommander:
i can't get the PG58IMG.zip to actually work after adding CID T-MOB010 someone please help?
[HTC Sensation] brutusss:
Try superCID, works like a charm :)
[HTC Sensation] Johnston411:
Thought i'd point out that the cid getter suggested didn't work for me.

My device is super cid (received it that way) but to double check i tried that app and it told me my cid is VODAP001

using "fastboot getvar cid" it correctly reports 11111111

even says my ro-carrier is voda-uk when i'm on o2 weird
[HTC Sensation] suprakarma:
Where can i find the stock RUU? thanks for your reply!
[HTC Sensation] DML08:
Are there 2 different PG58IMG in the OP, one for XE and non XE?
[HTC Sensation] jir591:
I want to try out the new ICS rom and update my firmware with this one. However, will this firmware update still play nice with Gingerbread since that's my stable rom for everyday use?
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
You can load it and play around with it without updating the firmware. There may be some issues but it is perfectly fine like that to play with since you can revert to your nandroid backup in five minutes. This may not be the final released firmware so it might not be a bad idea to wait. You can revert hboot but I am not sure that you can really revert all of the firmware and partition changes.

Update: You can revert everything back by flashing one of the RUU packages. Check the link below. From what I have been reading, the new firmware seems to work ok if you go back to GB roms. Keep in mind that the firmware update flashes a new radio too, which ARHD 5.0.x has the matching RIL for, so if you do go back, you may need to flash radio and/or RIL. I did see that someone extracted the new RIL, so it should be available to flash as a separate package.

There were two versions but now there is one that works for both.

Here you go

For my 24 hour update, I would say that the new firmware plus 5.0.2 is slightly sluggish compared to 3.6.9, but still very workable as a daily driver. Battery is improved probably 20-25% after a pretty heavy day compared to my normal usage patterns. I would usually be at the low teens by this time with pretty light usage, now I am at 19% after probably twice my normal usage, WiFi on all day, some gaming this morning, showing off the phone to a number of people throughout the day so the screen was on a lot. I will actually probably stay on it for now instead of going back.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Sorry, took me a bit to get this done after I verified that the new radio/RIL was not as good as what I had, the 10.56 or 10.14 version depending.

I flashed the radio back using the P58IMG file which I had originally gotten from the Sensation radio thread and reverified the MD5 on the SD, worked just like normal.

I rebooted normally, verified the version through settings, about phone, more, rebooted into recovery, mounted system, flashed the .169 RIL, realized I had forgotten to wipe the cache and dalvik, did so, reflashed the RIL, rebooted.

I think I need to thin out some apps.....ok, finally. Everything seems normal at this point. rilcheck in the terminal matches correctly. hmmm...this is not good. I can't get a network signal....nada....zip for gsm or wcdma. Wifi seems to be working ok.

I did a power off and battery pull, no dice. I guess the next step is to reflash the firmware and see if I can find that RIL link. :(

Update: OK, I reflashed the P58IMG firmware from Mike, rebooted into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, flashed the new RIL from here h/t bonesy, and now I have a mobile network signal again. Whew. That was scary. The Wifi never seemed to fail thankfully but no mobile signal to me is effectively a brick. :(

So my answer is that I could not effectively revert my radio/RIL although I did in fact do so. :( This is not good since my signal is not as good as it was before I upgraded the firmware and went from 3.6.9 to 5.0.2.

Update2: Upon further testing, another reboot and battery pull, data speeds for 3g, 4g, and WiFi are at or above the speeds I was getting before with the prior radio in my sig. Strange but I will take it.....with this result I will not be trying to revert my radio/RIL in the near term since that was pretty scary losing mobile network signal. Even with WiFi calling working I could not continue to use it everyday as a phone like that. GPS works fine too, locked within 20 seconds to 6 meters.

Update3: Just realized how cool it was that I was able to reflash Mike's zip to update the radio without changing anything else. I was panicking a bit but I did not lose anything from my current installation. I realize now I probably could have flashed the same radio from the main radio thread, although maybe it isn't the same radio since that one says it is from the 2.08 RUU? Anyways, thanks Mike!!!! :D
[HTC Sensation] affliction_emrah:
Im at same position.

[HTC Sensation] !_Ale13star_!:
Honestly i don't see a reason to upgrade to this firmware..i'm enough well with the old one and eng hboot..

some people have some improvements on ics based rom..but not a big change..and until ics rom will working right with no bugs and tweaks addon i think it is better don't flash thi fw..

or am i wrong..??
[HTC Sensation] orangestrawberry:
It makes a big difference to the smoothness and speed of ics. I'd say equivalent to 4.1.x Arhd betas
[HTC Sensation] MarylandCookie:
Thanks for the link to the RILS will give that a shot.. did you not try flashing a stock ruu out of curiosity?
[HTC Sensation] mrew42:
Thanks for the update - I'm on 3.6.9 (I went back to it from 5.0.1 after some problems) but if this new firmware makes as much difference as reported here I will end up back at 5.0.2 as my daily driver.

BTW - Big props from another Rush fan :)

The HTC clock on my lock screen reminds me of the Time machine tour every time I look at it :)
[HTC Sensation] xsample:
Just flashed the PG58IMG file.

Allways exciting!

The good news: it works flawlessly. :)
[HTC Sensation] feenty:
I've flashed ARHD 5.0.2 when it came out. Is it safe to flash now the firmware without reflashing 5.0.2, or i have to flash the firmware first, than wipe data/cache/dalvik? Maybe flash firmware than superwipe, than flash again?

Which one is the best solution?
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
If your 5.0.2 is working well, then take a nandroid backup, install firmware, then restore your backup :)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Why restore backup? firmware package is not wiping data.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
The firmware will wipe your data partiton and it re-sizes other partitions. Flashing the firmware u will loose everything anyway. Best to reflash Rom save any problems later
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
This is not "how to cook ROM" tutorial :confused:
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Yeah I found out that ADSP "makes possible for two nodes to establish a reliable connection through which data can be transmitted." But it refers to mackintosh computers only.

DSP - Digital Signal Processing. ADSP - audio (?!) Digital Signal Processing?

At least we know that adsp.img is the same in all RUU's that came out for Sensation and Sensation XE :) So no need to flash it.
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
Yeah the first reference is for Appletalk- bleh.

Seems to be an Advanced Digital Signal Processor, so it's most likely radio related. Audio stuff wouldn't be needed at a low-level "BIOS" stage.

Largely irrelevant, but interesting nonetheless.

[Edit] There's also barely anything in the image- 16MB compressed down to 16KB.
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
"Advanced Digital Signal Processor" - sounds good to me :D

Very off topic, erm, we're still in 2011, aren't we?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
very true :D
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
dzdata_4g.img seems to remove the content of userdata partition :eek:
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Could it be.an equivalent of superwipe?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I don't know yet. .img probably replaced whole data partition and hdr may change partition size (:confused:).
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
It's definitely radio-related, I just had a poke around with an editor.

Looooots of Qualcomm stuff about radio interfaces, SIM functions, GPRS/CDMA etc.

"vendor/qcom/proprietary/data/tests/dss/src/dss_test.c" amongst other things.

[Edit] Also has a few basic routines and references to .sh files, some comments.
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
Can someone tell me if they have used fastboot to flash an image with hboot 1.20 HTC Dev unlocked. Not working for me, but does if i downgrade to hboot 1.17
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
IIRC HTC dev unlock doesn't enable advanced fastboot commands.

By the looks of things, if you.want to stay on 1.20 you have to get used with flashing stuff via zip (not my cuppa tea), soooo, its either that, or back to 1.17 with unlocked commands, or hope for Revo to release 1.20 hboot with unlocked fastboot commands.

Me personally, I think I'm going to wait for release RUU as fastboot might still get changed. Time will show.
[HTC Sensation] bonesy:
So i use Eng Hboot not the revolutionary one.Will i still have s-off if i just run the RUU?
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Well, it looks like s-off is independent from hboot so most likely yes. Not sure, so wait for another opinion ;)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
yes, but for some reason it's market as "USERDATA" in bootloader after parsing PG58IMG.zip. And after flashing just dzdata_4G.img and dzdata_4g.hdr, I've lost content of data partition again :p
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
It's not a RIL is it?

[Edit] I'm wondering if the .hdr file is a header of some sort that's telling it to repartition the storage?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
I came to the same conclusion, but I'm not sure. We need to compare size of data partition before flashing this. Anyone can check?
[HTC Sensation] Catnap:
What do you need?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
If you didn't flash new dzdata yet, please can you check the size of userdata partition?

My current:

system 800MB

data 1195 MB

cache 120 MB
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
My understanding was that after flashing firmware, I had to reinstall ROM? My restoring backup was just a cheats way of restoring my ROM.
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
One or both of these wiped data

dzdata_4g.hdr - removed from the package [28.12.2011]

dzdata_4g.img - removed from the package [28.12.2011]

So they were removed
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Thanks, my mistake I used old package. Is it still not good to reflash as partitions get messed with and re-sized?
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
data partition will remain untouched.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Nope, I thought about it, but I already had the firmware downloaded so I figured I would try it first. Fortunately it worked or else an RUU would have been the next step.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
Thanks, already had it turned on, it is still not quite up to the level I saw in 3.6.9 but still good enough to stay on for now. :D
[HTC Sensation] mudhi:
I test it again by comparing the full ruu 1.45.709.3, inside my home, the bar signal notification usually not more than 3 and very weak 3G, voicecall is unstable, since it tries 3G frequently and signal mostly lost during calling.

Flashing new radio from ICS help a little.

I didn't test firmware with ruu 1.45.709.3, since 2.08.401.1 performance is better.

With custom 2.08.401.1 rom, and radio (same as ICS one), signal became more stable. And better after flashed this firmware, Wifi also connects faster. Sometimes voice call on BT has glitch but probably not firmware issue, because it is normal when calling other number.

have been using the latest radio with ruu 2.08.401.1 custom ROMs for a month, have not yet experience hangs, reboots or whatsoever glitch, only glitch came from apks.

Recalling my memory, I experience lags and hangs bofre flashing the latest radio.

So... the radio and firmware together is also important, as I play with this phone 2 days, everything is smoother, my rom has tweak egl.cfg with both entry adreno200 and some buildprop tweak. The experience is just like using custom kernels, with only battery drains faster.
[HTC Sensation] feenty:
Thanks!

And what about if later i want go back to 3.x.x. or 4.x.x? Do i need to flash back any old firmware or the new one should be good with the older roms?
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
No is fine, I'm on gb now
[HTC Sensation] kboeckx:
This is working great. Be sure to do a superSID ... that was the trick that did it for me.

Thanks Mike !

okay im surfing everywhere on the web on how to flash the firmware package. am i suppose to extract and individually flash each part because i tried flashing it in recovery and it aborted and im not familiar with fastboot commands
[HTC Sensation] maymaymay:
First post is to long to read ?
[HTC Sensation] Dougi:
sorry about the noooooooooob question but how do i ?? :

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.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up taking the RUU route and now i have the radio/hboot i was after finally. For me the ics radio was just all over the shop!! :D
[HTC Sensation] GrossmeisterB:
OK, is it normal that this thing messes up the recovery image?
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
It doesn't include a recovery image so shouldn't do anything to recovery
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
what do u mean?
[HTC Sensation] GrossmeisterB:
It messed up my CWM 5.0.2.0, giving me errors and didn't let me do anything, just gave the "Rom-Manager"-image as a background...I flashed 5.0.0.8 with PG58IMG-method, but can't find a 5.0.2.0 anywhere?

Just the .img-file, but when I want to flash it via ADB, it says "Writing "recovery" ...FAILED (remote: not allowed).

Now what to do? It seems, that the ICS-roms need 5.0.2.0 to be flashed?!
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
Don't think anyone else has had problems with CWM

If you now have hboot 1.20 you can't fastboot flash images
[HTC Sensation] GrossmeisterB:
OK, I finally found the 5.0.2.0-cmw-PG58IMG.zip and flashed it, but now I can't use "VolDown + Power" to get into recovery?!?! :confused:

Getting into recovery via ADB is working...strange...
[HTC Sensation] ziggy1001:
Isn't your existing rom still there? you need to delete the PG58IMG.zip
[HTC Sensation] GrossmeisterB:
No, no ROM there, PG58IMG was deleted with sd-cardreader ;)

Will try to flash LeeDroid, copying to SD-card takes some time (>400MB) ^^

EDIT: This time it seems to install the ROM (5.0.0.8 wouldn't)...

Will keep you updated...

[HTC Sensation] suprakarma:
1. ,Check your CID using fastboot

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: or modelid: 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

[this will definitely work for tmous with no supercid, just add this:

modelid: PG5810000

cidnum: T-MOB010

To the android-info.txt

It worked perfect for me,

And may also work to add the same to the 1.17 RUU if u wish to revert if the

PG58IMG.zip for it fails to install

[HTC Sensation] DeoreDX:
If this works fine for the Tmo US phones with no supercid if someone would modify the PG58 zip and upload it with the android-info.txt modified it would probably cut down on the number of posts about SuperCID and how to modify the zip file.
[HTC Sensation] mrxjhsnx:
Exactly, i tried adding it in myself but it keeps saying archive corrupt after i try to save it.
[HTC Sensation] suprakarma:
Try this: redownload the ruu

Use astro to extract the PG58IMG.zip

With text editor add the modelid and the Cidnum to the android info txt if this makes a copy of it replace the original with it

Then put all the files extracted back together on a new PG58IMG.zip then try install again:beer::)

[HTC Sensation] PaulGiz:
You're good to go!!!

Nobody works for you, so no, no testing on your behalf. I can tell you it won't work since you're not on the list.

It would be in your best interest to read the first post carefully and repeatedly until you understand it completely.

Short answer, but I take no responsibility if you mess up:

You can either use FASTBOOT to set your CID to 11111111 (instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16125079&postcount=1, STEP 4), or you can open android text file and edit it to add your CID (instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20861171&postcount=413, use your CID, not Tmobile one), but it often doesn't work.

This ICS firmware works fine with 2.08.401.1 base ROMs, signals is good.

Although ICS and 2.08.401.1 ROM has same radio, but I just want test the new ril files I can find in ICS for 2.08.401.1 ROM.

/system/bin/rild

/system/lib/libril.so

I replace it to 2.08.401.1 base ROM and set permission correctly, and it won't work, my question is maybe other configurations needed?
