So 3.33 is just a radio update?

And do I need to install the hboot patch as well if coming from 3.32?

im trying to update my firmware to 3.33 from 3.32 but after i update it the firmware stays the same can someone please help me i cant flash certain roms because of this
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Do you get any error message? How did you check to see that the firmware didn't update, what radio version do you have?
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
are you checking the firmware in the software information?if yes, that description is hard coded in the build prop.

It worked for me but I want to try something. When I get to a pc I am going to teach you how to edit firmware files and want you to try something (harmless)

How to edit the android-info.txt File via Windows (Will add to front post later)

1. Go download Notepad++ [It is free and is a great editer and makes it easier]

2. Download your PG58IMG.zip file

3. Double click file and open using Windows Archive Manager (Windows built in ZIP program)

4. Right click android-info.txt and copy it. Paste outside of the zip

5. Right click android-info.txt and open in notepad++

6. I want you to take cidnum: TELST001 and move it to the top of the list.

7. Make sure there are no spaces after TELST001 (So it shouldn't be "cidnum: TELST001 ")

8. Save it

9. Double click the PG58IMG.zip again. Click android-info.txt and delete it in the archive (Don't extract the archive)

10. Drag and drop the new android-info.txt over PG58IMG.zip

11. Flash your newly packaged edited Firmware

12. Grab a drink and celebrate. You just created a custom firmware package.

Using CM7.1 (GB 2.3.7)

I flashed 3.12 completely, CM7.1 works OK.

Tried to flash 3.24, ISC works, but CM7.1 not. Flashed back 3.12 but not completely, only until reboot (hboot flashed but radio not), removed battery and SD card, so radio did not flash.

Now I have latest radio from 3.24 firmware and hboot and other small parts from 3.12 firmware. CM7.1 works OK

Hi currently i running Android Ver: 2.3.4 insertcoin rom.

eh to flash this i just overwrite it the rom?
[HTC Sensation] pacut:
I was following these instructions:

1. Do some reading as this is a bit different and harder than a normal ROM flash.

2. Best way is to place Firmware PG58IMG.zip, ROM and Superwipe script on the root of your SD Card.

3. Shut down phone and remove SD card.

4. Boot phone to Bootloader (Power+Vol down).

5. Move selection to Recovery, but don't select yet.

6. Insert SD, then select Recovery.

7. Flash Superwipe (It will reboot when done) & then Flash ROM.

8. Power down, then boot to Bootloader. Select Fastboot. Say yes to upgrade.

9. Watch the flash. It will flash 3 or 4 things, then reboot to bootloader. Don't panic when screen goes dark. Bootloader will come back and it will finish flashing.

10. Now select reboot.

11. Wait (up to 10 minutes) for ROM to boot up.

12. Set up your phone and enjoy ICS!!!

On step 7 I did "apply zip from file" and then I choosed superwipe which wen throu successfully. The fact is...system didn't reboot automatically and was showing me the alert message: "installa ROM".

I made a restore and I am back again with my system.

Where I get wrong ?!?!?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
You are all good. If you use ARHD superwipe it reboots. Others may not. I will adjust the instructions today :)

I made everything right, flashed & so on till I get "update done" then rebooted. Now I am praying :eek::eek:

I have SuperCID. Rom is/was HyperSensation 1.8

What can I do if nothing changes ?

Eventually re-flashing ROM and/or fixing permission ?

Eventually restoring ROM from previous backup ?

Hypersensation 1.8 Runs on Firmware 3.12 -> make sure you are on FW 3.12 for that ROM.

If still doesn't boot then clear Dalvik & Cache and it should boot after that.

So I am getting stuck between updating the rom, and moving to fast boot. When I do this, it wants to run the PG58IMG again.

What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Take your battery out.

Take your SD Card out.

Put Battery In.

Press Vol - & Power (HOLD both)

Go down to Recovery

Put in SD Card

Press Power to choose recovery

Flash nROM

Yeah I am getting through that part without an issue. Its the below that's holding me up. Step 7 is fine, but when I go to step 8 is where it wants to run the pg58IMG again, and I don't get any of those prompts.

7. Flash Superwipe (ARHD Superwipe will reboot when done, others may not) & then Flash ROM.

8. Power down, then boot to Bootloader. Select Fastboot. Say yes to upgrade.

9. Watch the flash. It will flash 3 or 4 things, then reboot to bootloader. Don't panic when screen goes dark. Bootloader will come back and it will finish flashing.

10. Now select reboot.

Hi all and thanks for all your help, as usual i have a noob question for you:

i'm S-OFF

my cid is: TIM__401

mid is: PG5813001

HBOOT ver is: 1.27.1111 (JuopunutBear)

Software n. is: 3.32.901.113

I would like to update to 3.33 to put custom rom (ARHD 6.7 i suppose)

What should i do? Simply copy universal 3.33 to sd or need to change android-info file first?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Just copy file to sd card and boot to bootloader for the update.
[HTC Sensation] gianvy:
Tried now say

Update fail

CID Incorrect

As i thougth maybe there's something to change in android-info file

Suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] :
you better be super cid, so install all the firmware you want without problems.

Did you download the 3.33 Universal package from the 1st page as that includes a CID ******** which should cater for all CID's or so I thought. There are also instructions on the 1st page on how to edit the android.txt file so you can just add your CID to the list.

correct after i update the firmware and usually check the software info in the rom to see if it change but it never does and what do you mean coded in the build prop sorry for the noob question im new to the sensation world

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 AM ----------

no it successfully update but when i go into the setting and then to software information it never changes to 3.33 it stays on 3.32 and i try flashing a rom that requires 3.33 but when it boots it get stuck at the htc quite brilliant screen and my radio is11.24a.304.31_m
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
The rom version and the firmware info are not always the same as with custom roms you can change the rom base without updating the firmware. To check the firmware version you need to enter the following cmd in adb/fastboot: fastboot getvar version-main, this will show you the true firmware value unless the value has been edited in the android-info.txt file. For example if flashing the firmware package from baad, the firmware version will show up as 9.99.999.999
[HTC Sensation] gianvy:
I thought was not necessary changing android file, in any case not worked for me...

Finally i went supercid and correctly update! :highfive:
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
See my previous reply, but if your radio is 11.24A then you are on 3.33 unless of course you have also flashed the new radio at some stage.
[HTC Sensation] imxsteezin:
no i havent so should i try flashing a different 3.33 rom and see what happens?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Then you are on 3.33 firmware so you should be able to flash your rom now if that rom required 3.33.
[HTC Sensation] imxsteezin:
also if this help my bootloader says revalutionary and im s-off does it have to be unlocked to flash a rom?
[HTC Sensation] vernon092487:
try this from Joaquin..using adb to check firmware.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Your good to flash your Rom now! Just put Rom on root of sd card, go to recovery(perferably 4ext recovery) choose wipe cash, wipe dalvik cash, wipe data factory reset, stay in recovery, choose install zip from sd card, let install choose reboot, your good to go. This is how you flash roms with s off. Your s off so your

Ready to flash. If you don't have 4ext recovery installed I highly recommend it. It makes things so easy. You can even get 4 ext from the play store and install it that way if it's easier for you. Once it's installed through market open it and it will flash its self after you set it up. Hope I've helped.

I just updated to firmware 3.33 and noticed my hboot is 1.27.1100, is that the latest hboot, am I up to date?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Check:

Settings>about phone>software information>more>baseband version

Did your radio change?

If so ,then you have updated.

Universal does not change the hboot.

:)
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
That is the latest unlocked bootloader, so the new hboot was removed from the package. If your radio is 11.76A.3504.00_11.24A.3504.31 then you have updated the firmware correctly.
[HTC Sensation] OneOneSix:
Thank you for the quick reply, so does that mean I'm fine with the hboot version 1.27.1100?

My baseband verion is 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M did i successfully update to 3.33?

Quick Question

Sorry If I didn't look in the right places, but my Tmo Sensation is running CM9 but using Hboot 1.27, and im also not sure if im running the correct firmware (Dont have the fastboot set up)...

I have S-Off, ive done this all before but...im just weary.

So just wondering should i go straight to attempting firmware 3.33 or 3.32 ?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
What radio version do you have? This could help identify which firmware version you have, unless of course you flashed the radio as a standalone.
[HTC Sensation] mikef:
I am pretty sure I read here that Kohr-Ah fixed the 3.33 package so you could go directly to it.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
I know he talked of making a complete 3.33 package that could be flashed without first flashing 3.32, but I can't recall seeing a post where he stated that he had actually done it. I may have missed it of course :p

Hi guys... Im here again to ask some questions.

I have flashed 3.32 Universal from 1st post and all went ok. Im on Viper 1.0.1 and all is ok. Good performance and signal. Data speed are between 7-10 mbps so i think is ok. Well, i have heard that FW 3.33 is better than 3.32 FW so i want to give a go to see. Now the questions are:

1.- I have S-OFF by Revo with hboot 1.27.xxxx due to FW 3.32. Can i download and flash Universal FW 3.33 from 1st post without loosing S-OFF or unlocked bootloader?

2.- Do i need to flash the rom again or can i just flash FW amd reboot?

3.- If i flash 3.33 and some goes wrong can i go back to 3.32 in the same way?

4.- Does 3.33 worth the update?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
1. Flash universal 3.33 patch

2. Nope. if it doesnt boot clear dalvik and cache but you shouldnt have to do that

Hi Guys

Firstly thanks to Kohr-Ah for creating these packages and the instructions.

I have been following this forum for a little while and then decided it was time to update my firmware from 3.32 but low and behold when I went to try it gave me an error and said that my CID was invalid so I had to create my own custom one again following all the steps in the first post.

So thanks to all and I made a video following the instructions and thought i would share it here... hope it helps...

Change h boot? Does it give super cid? Sorry but I'm a bit confused. Can you shed some light on the subject for me please. Thank you much
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
By the new patch do you mean 3.33 Universal Full?

It is just a full firmware package so people don't have to flash 3.32 then 3.33 is all. They can now go from 1.17 to 3.33. The files inside are no different than what came with 3.33 Patch it just has all the SBL files, etc to be a full package.

Now if you mean you flashed 3.33 Full - Patch is just the files that came in the OTA to update 3.32 to 3.33 :)

Hboot is still 1.27.1100

I dont have any files that super-cid you (This is User-Friendly Firmware. No need to SuperCID :))

endless cm boot animation?

Kohr-Ah,

Thanks for your thread, and your countless help to everyone. Quick question, how long after flashing should the boot animation (mine is CM) take? I've let it once sit there for five minutes, pulled the battery, and rebooted. Now it's sitting there for another five and counting. Searched for an answer, but only one guy said he reformatted all partitions and re-installed his particular ROM.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Nevermind, got it to finally boot. After second stuck animation (10 min), pulled battery, rebooted into recovery, wiped cache/dalvik, fixed permissions, rebooted.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
My pleasure :)

5 minutes is the average. 10 at most.

I would clear dalvik and cache and reflash the rom on top of itself (if you didnt wipe before you installed CM9 coming from another rom then you need to do that as well. If you did then just dalvik and cache)

Do i need to keep flashing the firmware when i change ROMs and or upgrade them?

example:

I have miui now with the 3.33 patch firmware -- im going to upgrade to 2.7.28 miui (latest) do i have to reflash the patch and or the 3.33 firmware after i upgrade the rom?

If i change roms (im a flash-o-holic), would i have to keep reflashing the firmware?

p.s. i have been reflashing the firmware, just in case. just wondering if i need to keep doing it, or am i just wasting time lol :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Flashing roms does not change the firmware.

So, no, you do not have to reflash the firmware each time.
