Hi,

The best radio,is the one that works.

It does not matter if radio and rils do not match.

I have never installed a ril.

I have always used what the dev put in the ROM.

I never had a problem.

So,at the moment you are fine,or you do not have a signal?

It is not clear if you still have a problem or not.

Do I need to warn Kohr-Ah about the radio not loading correctly?

:)
[HTC Sensation] dLeTe:
Doing well now

No need to let Kohr-Ah no about any issues. I think this is user error issue on my part. I am happy I was finally able to update to firmware 3.33. Thank you for your help. My data is working fine with 3.33 firmware and 11.29A radio. I will ignore ril. Thank you again for your assistance.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Ok,good.

Could you please edit the quote in your post # 2086

The @ Kohr-Ah bit.

Thanks

[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
What would I do without my Malybru ^_^

Sorry for not getting a chance to be on here more. Work is very taxing in my new position so I only get to see my phone when the little one sleeps at night now and by then you already has solved it :P

Hi there, just looking to check everything is ok, I was in pretty much the same situation as dLeTe above with CM10.1 and firmware 3.32, everthing was working fine for me, but as the ROM dev recommended firmware 3.33 I thought it was about time to update.

I flashed universal 3.33 and everything seems to be fine, the flashing process went without error. My radio/baseband now shows as below, however when I load up the terminal on my phone and enter getprop, the item ro.build.description shows as 3.32.531.14. In the bootloader it shows 3.33 and I just wanted to check if this is ok, everything is working ok so no problems. After flashing the firmware I flashed my ROM and gapps with just a cache wipe in recovery.

About phone:

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

To be sure of what you have,go into bootloader,fastboot and plug in your usb wire.

Type:

fastboot getvar all

That will give the accurate reading of what you have.

:)
[HTC Sensation] gsmyth:
Thanks Malybru, forgot about checking using fastboot, I will give this a go later at home and see what it says.
[HTC Sensation] buksa.jan:
Could I use universal firmware on phone which has open bootloader from HTC official site?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

HTC unlocked does not matter.

But you must be s-off to update firmware/radio.

:)
[HTC Sensation] buksa.jan:
OK, I need something to confirm if I found right informations, when I open CIDgetter software it write to me ro.build.description 3.32.531.14 CL356011 relase-key. This say that I have 3.32 version of firmware is any possibility to change in new version? for example through RUU rom? Thanks

EDIT: I tried flash RUU rom with 3.33 firmaware and instal wizard write to me that firmware version is 3.33 and now I don´t understand. :(
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
^ In regards to your edit. Just trying to understand, did the RUU run successfully?

RUU (ROM Update Utility) will always update your firmware and rom if your phone supports it because you don't have to be S-OFF to do it since the Utility is trusted and doing the work.
[HTC Sensation] leoleotheiii:
So i was trying to get the CM10.1 working on my phone and from that thread they said that it needs the 3.33 firmware. I got and installed the new firmware and its showing up correctly on my phone with the 3.33 highlighted in pink. I get in to recovery flash the the ROM but all it does is that it just sits at the CM splash screen forever.....I noticed that my hboot is 1.27 so I used the link provided and patched it to 1.29. Then i noticed that instead of saying 3.33 it says LOCKED. And when i install the 3.33 patch it downgrades the hboot to 1.27 again. Regardless of the hboot version, no ROM seemed to want to boot.

I'm terribly sorry, I not exactly an expert at flashing phones and upgrading the firmware, I just pop back every now and then to see if my favorite ROMs have been updated. AAAANNNNND now I can't use my phone.

I hope some one can help me, i'd be more than happy to provide any other information, it seems like I may have missed a step when I was upgrading the Firmware, perhaps something to do with CID? I really have no clue. Sorry and thank you.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Try it with firmware 3.32. I ran Bruce and albino cm10.1 both in fw 3.32 with no problems. 3.33 if just a radio based update is all and 1.29 locked just means you can't use fast boot commands.

Flash fw3.32 go into recovery and wipe dalvik and cache then see if rom boots

You have 3.33 the ro.build reply is what the ROM is based off of. Try what I said 2 posts back and see if rom boots. No benefit of 3.33 over 3.32.

[HTC Sensation] Sethide:
Sorry If I was confusing I am in the same situation as gsmyth not leoleotheiii.

My CyanogenMod 10.1 AOSP Jellybean 4.2.2 [KANG] boots fine with firmware 3.33, I have not tried to install any new ROM when I was on 3.32

When I first flash it, albinoman887 stated in his OP 3.33 was an requirement, so even I was uneasy with flashing firmware I went ahead and flashed it (successfully I believe).

Thanks for the update!
[HTC Sensation] Krasus:
People claim that 3.33 has better battery life. Is it true, or just a urban legend?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Are you having problems with your current signal or battery?

[HTC Sensation] snake4fun:
Hi @all,

I have a short question: What is the diffrent between 1.27.1100 and 1.29.0000 and which one is better?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

There is very little difference between 1.27 and 1.29

Basically 1.29 is just a radio upgrade to one of the latest radios.

There is no "Better" one.

Whichever one works best for YOU ,is the "Best" one.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Iceberger:
It's not about radios, it's about Hboot.

usually I would have advised you to use search, but at the moment you'll get "Search is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience." message if you try.

So here is your answer
[HTC Sensation] Krasus:
Battery. I'm losing like 1% every 2-3 mins or so while watching avi movies via MX Player or simply browsing web.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If you had a bad signal,your battery would suffer,because the phone would be constantly working to find a signal.

If you are losing battery the way you suggest,then,I would firstly look at your kernel and settings for it.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Krasus:
Thing is, I switch to airplane mode while I watch the videos to conserve my battery. It doesn't really help much.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Are you on albino's ROM,as your banner suggests?

Try different kernel settings,or even try SULTAN'S KERNEL

Particularly,the intellidemand setting.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Krasus:
Yup, I'm using Albino's CM 10.1. From what I remember Bruce (dev of previous CM10 ROM) advised against using different ROMs such as Bricked or Faux'. Will Sultan's work properly? Also, which version and settings would you recommend?

Also, thanks for really quick and professional help :)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I am using Sultan kernel with albino ROM on intellidemand setting.

No problems here.

But ,as someone suggested on the albino thread,watching films,or playing games ,is a high intensity activity,and this will use more battery than usual.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Krasus:
Should I install the version with wifi driver or not? Never had any problems with wifi, does that driver provide any boost to reception or what?

Also, if the aroma installer has any settings to pick during installation, which would you recommend in my case?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

You probably want the aroma one without the wifi driver.

As for settings,they are mostly self-evident,or just choose the recommended ones,or battery saving options.

:)
[HTC Sensation] EDB_CF:
Hi Guys,

I have problem with Firm 3.33, when I flash this firm I get stuck and reboot all the times in: 4Ext, Installing a ROM (e.g. in AROMA installer)

And all this happens right after installing this Firm 3.33.

Can you give me an idea to resolve this?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] yankeeornovember:
I haven't done anything with this phone for over a year, which is when I gave it to my sister. Now I wanted to update it for her, but in order to update the ROM (I'm running HyperNonSense, she likes it a lot), I need to update firmware to 3.33.

I got everything downloaded and done as it was supposed to, but when I booted into fastboot and it recognized the .img file, it said:

"CID Incorrect

Update Failed

Press power to reboot".

It's a Virgin Mobile Canada HTC Sensation (NOT from Tmobile). My current CID is BM___001 (I think). My MID is PG5811000.

I saw about hundred pages back that the OP supplied the firmware for someone with a specific CID?

Any help please? The universal 3.33 .img isn't working :(
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Hi there :)

If you like I can make the firmware file but I wont' be able to get it up til later tonight. Else if you want to edit the firmware file and add your CID it is very easy and there is even a tutorial video in post 1.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Erase Dalvik and Cache (Sometimes have to do that when I swap firmwares)
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
Also remove the p58img file from de sdcard.
[HTC Sensation] EDB_CF:
Ok, I will do it before flashing a new firmware.

But.. I don't know, I had tryed almost in every way... Any other strange thing to know about flashing Firmwares?

It should work ok for any sensation, Am I right?

I can't imagine why I'm having this problems..

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
It should.

Also that rom will run on 3.32 so can always run it on that and flash the radio update after it

I will give you a thousand thanks if you could do that for me. I only have a new MacBook Air (not much storage, and not easy to hack with), so I would appreciate it so much if you could provide that modified firmware file for me.

And hey, whenever you have time, it doesn't even have to be as early as tonight: I understand you must be a pretty busy person, let alone a busy dev!

Thank you so much for your help!

it says unlocked at the top

once again really sorry for newbie question :confused:

If you are s-on , then, you cannot install firmware/radio.

However, you should still be OK to install that ROM in the normal way using smartflash.

Just to clarify your instructions from the first post:

1. Download img, copy it to sd card make sure that md5 sum checks.

2. reboot into bootloader and follow the instructions

3. if process is finished pull sdcard out, delete image and put it back in

4. reboot phone and install new rom

and:

do i need to backup my sdcard?

yeah, yeah, always do a backup.. i know :D

what i want to know is, does this update affact my sdcard in any way?

what advantages i have as a result?

your sdcard will remain untouched

in step 4 i assume you mean reboot into recovery and flash the new rom

When you flash firmware,the radio is included in the zip file.

[HTC Sensation] dude in a suite:
md5 was korrekt, i checked it.

if i boot into bootloader the new firmware version is shown.

should i try to install the rom?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

When you flash the firmware ,did it say upload complete?

It does it in 2 parts:

1.Firmware

2.Radio.

you must let it completely finish,and it will tell you it is complete.

Then,you can flash the ROM.

:)
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
boot into recovery and wipe cash/delvik cash and reboot and if that doesn't work then you will need restore or re-install rom.

\Regards
[HTC Sensation] dude in a suite:
Yep, it said the update was complete. "Press power to reboot"

so i pulled out the sdcard, deleted the img, and put it back in.

in recovery it says:

"E: cant mount /cache/recovery/command"

"E: cant mount /cache/recovery/log"

"E: cant open /cache/recovery/log"

"E: cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log"

"E: cant open /cache/recovery/last_log"

wiping did the trick :)

Trouble updating to any of the new firmwares

I'm with hboot 1.18.

I've unlocked the phone using htc dev and it says s-on unlocked.

I'm Super CID.

After i start bootloader with the PG58IMG.zip on the SD, the phone tries to read it then the screen turns off and back on, however nothing else happens, no dialog for starting the update.

I've tried all kind of firmwares 3.12/3.24/3.24Rev.

Hi!

Sorry but i feel i must be sure to do this:

Or are there a 1.27 hboot firmware out?

Using the latest available stock ROM without any mods or kernal. Stock everything.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
hboot is like a program like DOS on a PC, its part of a firmware package which contains other programs.

Hboot 1.27 is part of the firmware 3.24 which is i think what your refering to,

so flashing firmware 3.24 will give you hboot 1.27 and other stuff needed to run ICS :)
