Is that flash the ROM.zip from sd or rename to update.zip and use the update option in recovery?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
To install the firmware, place the PG58IMG.zip file on root of sd card, boot into bootloader and it will ask if you want to update.
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
Yes i did that and now i'm having problem with how to flash the new 3.32 ROM, i know it's the wrong thread. But since i've just flashed this new 3.32 firmware i dared to ask a question that includes it :) Sowwy! :)

When i have flashed the rom i just get to the white screen and nothing more happens.. :( Guess i have to wait for an answer in the correct thread.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Did you do a complete wipe? You then flash the rom the normal way via recovery. If you still have problems then it could be that you are also unfortunate with the 3.24/3.30/3.32 firmware. What you will need to do is to download the 3.12 firmware and copy the hboot folder from the zip file (open in Windows) and then copy and replace this into the 3.32 zip package, overwriting the hboot folder and then flash this modified firmware package.
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
Hi!

Yes i did a full wipe as x4Recovery suggested, and then i flashed it via recovery.

Thanks! But: When i look at the 3.12 firmware i just find one file called: hboot_8x60_1.23.0000_20111226_signedbyaa.nb0 and when i then look inside the ROM zip file i can't find any hboot file/folder...

And why is that btw, why am i having problem with this new firmare? Is everyone having this problem?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Not everyone is having the problem, but there are a few who are. It seems some phones can't handle the new hboot. Copy that hboot file from the 3.12 firmware and place it in the 3.32 firmware (not rom) package, overwriting the hboot file in the 3.32 package
[HTC Sensation] ToddeSwe:
Hi, guess what :) I tried a last time in recovery erasing everything and voila it works fine.

Thank you for trying to help.
[HTC Sensation] poopymt3g:
so ive updated to the 3.32 firmware and the Virtuous Inquisition V4 beta (3.32 Base). But for some reason it still shows the revolutionary Hboot 1.27..the rom runs fine im just a bit confused how this happens...I flashed the 3.32 from bootloader screen everything successfully updates but still seeing the revolutionary bootloader..anyone else having this issue?
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
any custom Rom doesn't include Hboot

only RUU's and Firmware Package include Hboot , actually the firmware is part of the RUU

now you flashed 3.32 which give you hboot 1.27 , it will stay like this ( hboot 1.27 ) if you flash Virtuous Inquisition V4 or ARHD 6.3 or 6.4 or any suitable ICS Rom

the hboot will not change until you flash an other firmware or an RUU with a different firmware
[HTC Sensation] poopymt3g:
Im well aware of the fact that the Hboot wont change when i flash a new rom..I was just confused because I though the 3.32 FW would have a new Hboot and radio..But i guess I should have read a few pages back..
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
firmware 3.32 and firmware 3.3 are almost same ( minor changes or no change at all ) , they have same hboot and the same Radio also

firmware 3.32 is issued to fit Mike1986 new Rom with the new Base 3.32 ( which is Sensation , Not sensation XE ) that is it

so the difference and improvements and fixes is in the rom itself ( based on new RUU 3.32 ) not in the Firmware
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
The HBOOT is same in V324, V3.30 and V3.32 Firmware posted by Mike1986 ..

It is 1.27.1100 Revolutionary patched.

A Little Help & Guidance For The "Sensation Extreme ROM" Pls.?

Hey there ... I have a Sensation XE ( rooted ) ...

Been watching this thread for awhile now! - Just trying to get the right procedure down.?

I have done ROM flashing before with my Htc-Desire, just not sure exactly how on the Sensation yet.?

Getting quite confused now, but these are the files I have downloaded so far ...

1. Using CID Getter, I got this : cidnum: HTC__044

So I downloaded : HTC Part 1 - DOWNLOAD 3.32 Unlocked: http://goo.gl/Fda4p - 13.9 MB

2. [KERNEL] Overclocked kernel 3.0.16 | v1.20 | OC 1836 MHz v1.20 1836 MHz AND v1.20 1782 MHz - 3.70 MB

3. [ROM][FEB26]ExtremeSensation™Series|4.0.3|Blaze3|Blitz7|FAST|A PM|STABLE|MODS

DOWNLOAD NOW Blitz 7 http://tinyurl.com/8a3e9gx - 248 MB

DOWNLOAD AOSP TOGGLE MOD http://www.mediafire.com/?by9dvg53rstjx1d - 4 MB

4. A File Called: Overclocked_kernel_v1.11_1512_MHz_by_SebastianFM - 3.70MB

5. A File Called: PG58IMG - 13.9MB

6. A File Called: su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed - 163 KB

7. A File Called: Extreme_Sensation_Blaze_2 - 373 MB

8. Plus I have the Paid version of : [TOUCHCOVERY] 4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.3 RC 3 installed

Can someone tell me which files I need.?

- I'm after the Sense UI, ICS, Fast, Overclocked (I have SetCPU) & Stable For Everyday Use ... Cheers!!
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
4. Is the kernel file (optional)

5. Should be the 3.32 firmware

6. Is file used for root (you are probably already rooted)

7. This is the rom file.

You are missing the Superwipe file (You can find this in the ARHD Rom thread by mike1986).

Follow the instructions on the first page and first flash the superwipe, followed by Rom and then firmware. After phone has rebooted and you have set up the rom you can then install the kernel.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
+1 . Several times it is mentioned.

@craven667

Even if you can not do this , then just flash V3.12 . You can run ARHD 6.4.0
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:

Which firmware? 3.12, 3.24, 3.30, 3.32?

Also SKT_901 isn't enough characters. A CID is 8 characters long.

Did you mean SKT__901? [I need to know because it has to be specific for the file]

[HTC Sensation] Lethal_1:
Thankyou so much ClydeB1 ...

I thought I had too many files (LOL) for what should of been ~2 or 3 files.?

OK, I needed the SuperWipe (which I forgot, so thankyou) Got it now!

Got this from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 for the Super Wipe ...

And it was by "mike1986", under the code box is the downloads, http://tinyurl.com/3qt4nx2 - 144 KB

* I also downloaded " Blaze 3 " ( 393 MB ) which I'm guessing is the latest ROM instead of Blaze 2.?

And I'll follow the instructions when I'm ready to go when I know I have all the files downloaded needed ...

New List Of Ready To Go ROM Flash:

1. The 3.32 Firmware - PG58IMG - 13.9 MB

2. ROM - Extreme_Sensation_Blaze_3 - 393 MB

3. Overclocked_kernel_v1.11_1512_MHz_by_SebastianFM - 3.70 MB ( optional )

((( When Do I " Super Wipe ".? ( I read on the Blaze 3 it's not needed, yes or no.? ) )))

4. Unsure Why I Downloaded Or Needed.? - Blitz 7 http://tinyurl.com/8a3e9gx - 248 MB

Can someone help me confirm wether I'm ready to flash going by the new list above please.? --> I'm ready to go, cheers!!
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Ok, in your case the superwipe is not necessary as it looks like the Blaze rom includes a script to wipe your data. the difference between Blaze and Blitz is that while they are both roms, Blaze includes Sense whereas Blitz is Senseless and uses AOSP (ie pure vanilla ICS). You however only flash 1 of these depending on your preference for Sense or not. Then just follow the instructions as per the rom thread:

The difference in sequence suggested in this thread is that it suggests to flash the rom first and then the firmware, as it helps with the problem of having to remove your sd card and delete the firmware file via your pc before flashing the rom.
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
i know it says to do that i have done that but cant run anything with Sense 4.0

i was asking do i change phones and hope i can get hboot updated or wait can get new phone easy
[HTC Sensation] Lethal_1:
OK.? - I must of done something wrong.?

Thru the 4EXT Recovery, I instructed to flash Firmware 1st, then ROM 2nd - Came back as "Complete"

Rebooting the phone, I'm getting this Reboot Loop.? - Also; On No.2, I don't get any "Update" prompt.? - What have I done wrong.?

Edit : Realized my mistake, needed to reboot into BootLoader , AND , not rename the PG58IMG.zip to anything else!!

Update : After doing the "Update" because the filename is now correct, everything started to updated accordingly = Success!!
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
You can't install the firmware via Recovery. You need to put the firmware PG58IMG.zip on the root directory of the sd card. Then switch phone off and holding vol down button, switch phone on. In bootlader/ fastboot the device will scan for the zip file and ask if you want to update.

They is because 3.32 uses firmware with an unlocked hboot by revolutionary.

Should say hboot 1.27

now i can call tmob and get a replacement phone is this the only way as of now

HBOOT 1.17

Hi,

i came from CM7 (latest) with Revolutionary-rooted (HBOOT 1.17) and installed the latest ICS (stock rooted from rmk40) this weekend.

During the installation I also flashed the appropriate Firmware (3.32.401) without problems so far :D.

The only thing left to mention is: it all works properly (WIFI reception is very bad though), but I still have HBOOT 1.17! I thought flashing these mike-enhanced firewares will upgrade HBOOT too.

Could this be a problem for me?

Thanks, Thomas
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
R you sure that you still have hboot 1.17? You should have hboot 1.27.1100 if you have successfully updated to firmware v3.32.

Will I Still be able to use fastboot commands properly?
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
your hboot will change to hboot 1.17 , after flashing firmware 1.17

you will be able to use fastboot commands , because this is an Eng hboot ( 1.17.0008 ) it is similar to Revolutionary Hboot

follow the 12 step

MD5 sums for 3.32 firmware

Hi, downloading the latest 3.32 firmware but can't get the md5 sums to match.

I have tried several different versions just to check.
[HTC Sensation] mikebeatrice:
I'm having a little trouble here.

I started out on 1.17 s-off on CM7. I was superCID and decided to try out VI4.0.0... upgraded to the newest (3.32) firmware, no problem.. installed rom... no problem..

I've decided to go back to CM7...

so I

1. flashed 1.17 from here

2. flashed latest GB radio prior to the 2.x RUU

3. got into recovery and restored my nandroid with CM7

now... it's bootlooping after the splash. i can get into hboot (definitely 1.17) and recovery...

what am I missing? what about all of the things that get flashed with 3.32 that aren't replaced when going back to 1.17? the sbl images, etc? DOes that have something to do with it?

I really need to get my phone back up and running tonight... I know it has to be something silly I'm missing.

*edit* Wiping data and nandroid restore again fixed it...

terminal will give you your Original Cid or ( not sure ) maybe the Rom Cid

im realllyyy sorry for the hassle mate but when i plugged into fastboot it said drivers were not installed? i though i already had them and when you say navigate you meant for example c:\desktop\adb i know im being problematic sorry :S
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Try re-installing the drivers with the phone booted to fastboot mode.

Yes wrt the navigating to adb. you need to have your cmd window pointing to the directory on your pc where you have adb and fastboot, so eg c:\destop\adb would be it.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Install HTC Sync and it will install the drivers for you.

I need help with a bootlooping Sensation. Problems started occurring after flashing 3.32 unlocked, and now even if I flash 3.24 and an older ROM with that base the phone still bootloops. I've superwiped and reflashed FW/ROM countless times but to no avail - even the guys on the Virtuous IRC couldn't figure it out.

Use the hboot from 3.12

But I've used 3.24 up until now with no problems - only started bootlooping after attempting to flash 3.32 and Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.0. Nonetheless will give it a try, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Yes strange that 3.24 worked before without bootlooping, but you can still use the 3.32 firmware package as long as you replace the 1.27 hboot with 1.23 hboot from 3.12.
[HTC Sensation] yauhui:
How do I replace only the HBOOT? I just flashed the entire firmware...
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
In your zip app, don't unzip the package, just open it and copy the hboot file from the 3.12 package and overwrite the hboot file in the 3.32 package and then flash the modified 3.32 package.
[HTC Sensation] yauhui:
Nevermind - I just flashed the entire 3.17 firmware and it booted up! Odd indeed!
