Where did you put the PG58IMG.zip file?

HBOOT 1.17.xxxx

Kohr,

Were you still planning on posting the old HBOOT 1.17.xxxx version?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Yup they are still going to be done. ATM I am working on remapping a few switch closets at my work so they prolly wont get posted until tomorrow.

I've Flashed 3.24 from mike's thread and got then *locked* 1.27 hboot. Now I can't flash any PG58IMG file, even appropriate one from your second post - always get error "invalid cid". My cid (terminal, getprop...) is HTC__A07. It's listed in android_info.txt:

How can I get rid of this LOCKED stuff?

P.S. ICS ROM (in signature) works perfectly.
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
doesnt really matter unless your looking to use advanced fastboot commands.

you can flash the revolutionary version of the firmware in the first post which will removed the **locked** and replace it with **revolutionary** which will unlock advanced fastboot commands :)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Try something.

In the first post I have instructions how to edit the firmware files. Move your cidnum to the top of the list and try flashing it.

Hey kohr ah, im on energy june 24 rom which is based on tmous fw 3.32. Ive been reading that people has gotten better reception woth the new radio. My question is from the 3.33 fw. Does the radio file include the matching ril? I was planning to just delete everything else on the 3.33 fw and flash only the radio because.i want to stay with fw 3.32
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
It does not as RILs are not part of the firmware.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202867

Go there and get the radio and the RIL you need :) flash the radio like normal firmware. The RIL is flashed in recovery.
[HTC Sensation] lolpos:
Ah i see. I knew during GB time the rils were separate. Then when the first ICS fw came out it already had the matching ril included. Guess not anymore. Thanks for clearing that up

Not sure if firmware is the problem but thought I'd start here.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an Australian Telstra branded HTC Sensation z710a. There were network changes recently and coverage is worse.Running Elegancia 2.7,and haven't changed rom,was working ok. I think I may have had the wrong firmware for a while and the network changes just bought it to my attention.

CID and MID using terminal emulator

cid - VODAP102

mid - PG5813000

Vodafone here uses 900/2100

Telstra uses 850/2100

for 3g/Next G.Telstra just shut down part of their 2100 network so I thought i may not be connecting to 850MHz band because of firmware?If not any other ideas would be much appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I do not think that is a firmware problem.

Try posting your problem in the RADIO/RIL THREAD

:)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
I'd try a different radio also but the other thing is I don't know what bands your carrier's sensation supports.

850 should be edge I think and 2100 is 3/4g/H

Sent from my Sensation in UrQuan subspace
[HTC Sensation] dkline:
Thanks for the replies

Here Telstra uses 850MHz for 3.5G.What they call Next G here.They were also using 2100MHz for 3G but it was a joint venture that's now split. Some of the 2100MHz is still being used as infill to plug gaps in the 850MHz 3.5G network.

I found an Aussies Telstra thread and posted there too but last post was a while ago so not sure how many people check it.

I should probably update to the 3.33 fw as I'm still on 3.32. Should i use the international one? Any need to edit txt or just flash?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

3.33 Universal contains the latest radio as well.

This may help you with your problem.

[HTC Sensation] Isis111:
Good Afternoon my friend,

I have made the switch from Tmous to Consumer Cellular and outside of having to manually put in my APN's CC rocks. In fact considering that it's half the cost of tmous or ATT it really rocks.

All that being said I'm wondering if there is or will there be a firmware that is CC specific? Thanks for any help.

Kristen

---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

I'm not having any problems at all with the device on CC. My question relating to CC was only out of curiosity. I am getting ready to upgrade to 3.33 universal, do you anticipate any issues. CC uses the same bands and towers as ATT which is why I took a shot at it

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 PM ----------

Here are the frequencies for CC

[HTC Sensation] Constrabus:
Im having the same issue. In addition, fastboot getvar version-main returns blank. Also, in ROM it still reports as 3.32.

Edit: Also Radio still reports as old version.

I've tried all combinations of flashing, cache and davlik wiping, etc.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Did it fully install the PG58IMG file with no issues?

The ROM reading is based off your build.prop file. You can make that say dorito if you like.

Sent from my Sensation in UrQuan subspace
[HTC Sensation] Constrabus:
Yes, its gone through successfully each time

BUT

I just reflashed with the version from the mirror site and fastboot getvar version-main now returns with 3.33 instead of being blank. Is it possible that there might be something wrong with the version hosted on dev-host?

Ahh okay. I figured that was the case, but I wanted to be thorough.

I'll post again in a minute if I can get my APNs back up. I have a feeling that they are stored ROM side. I dont mind full wiping anyway.

EDIT:

Does your 3.33 include 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M or 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M

and

Does your 1.29Hboot include "Revolutionary" mods?
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
Yes, they are stored in the framework and written on first boot.
[HTC Sensation] Constrabus:
One more question.

I have this strange problem. Wifi stops working after using a new ROM (after full wipe) for a random amount of time. I'll go to enable and the setting will become grayed out, just hanging on the message "Turing Wifi on..." I thought that updating to 3.33, the latest Radio (included in the Universal 3.33), and the latest RIL would solve the issue, but it hasn't.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
It may have. I know they were having issues. I will look at the files tonight and check.

I believe mine is 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M

But U and P are same just released by a different carrier is all.

And I do not use 1.29. My firmware still uses 1.27.1100 (revolutionary) since 1.29 still is locked.

I had a quick question. Can being on a lower firmware cause more battery drain the being on the latest firmware.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

That is unlikely.

You should look more to your kernel,and maybe experimenting with different versions of that.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Constrabus:
WiFi miraculously started working randomly last night. I've attached a logcat while enabling and disabling WiFi a couple times. Maybe it will help determine the cause? I expect it to stop working again at some point.

Logcat: http://db.tt/Dg1J7zZ6
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Sorry for delay. I am a network engineer so my job eats up a lot of time.

Originally I was right. It was literally not initializing your wlan0 card.

A /CommandListener( 123): Failed to retrieve HW addr for wlan0 (No such device)

D/CommandListener( 123): Setting iface cfg

E/WifiStateMachine( 313): Unable to change interface settings: java.lang.IllegalStateException: command '23 interface setcfg wlan0 0.0.0.0 0 down' failed with '400 23 Failed to set address (No such device)'

E/wpa_supplicant( 1784): Could not read interface wlan0 flags: No such device

Now it seems to be initializing fine. I would say you should be fine as I see no errors like this in second log

I have just run revolution tool to S-Off my Sensation and now want to update to ICS.

Should I use a different firmware version?

Then I have dl'd cm9 to flash once the firmware is done. I assume, ICS then flash rom?

Hi Kohr-Ah,

Just a little question: Is it possible to get the version-main variable without being in fastboot (but with adb)? And is it possible to get the radio version with adb? :) Just searching for some new informations for my debugging tool :D
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
version-main variable ..you cant do it ..those are boot-loader/radio variables

for radio ..you can simply check the baseband (in settings ->about phone ->software information -> more->baseband)

so there might be a build.prop link there ..do check the build.prop file ..so there chould be getprop command

ahh found it

here

adb shell getprop "gsm.version.baseband"

guys i can downgrade hboot? i have 1.27.1100 but want older version.
[HTC Sensation] :
hello, yes you can, no problem
[HTC Sensation] kekkojoker90:
what is the method? i try with firmware but version stay always in 1.27.1100
[HTC Sensation] :
added to the zip in sd, reboot into bootloader and automatically sitema asks you to update yourself by yes and wait for it to finish installing, restarts and you have the new firmware.

I recommend not rename the zip must be PG58IMG otherwise the system does not read it
[HTC Sensation] kekkojoker90:
i know how this work, i'm not newbie, but change only radio not the bootloader (i have revolutionary s-off).

If you applied 3.33 firmware,then,only the new radio will show.

This means it was successful.

[HTC Sensation] kekkojoker90:
the problem is i already try 3.24 and hboot still the same.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
1.27.1111 is the hboot version. To check firmware version boot to bootloader, connect to pc and run the following cmd:

fastboot getvar version-main. This should return 3.33.401.106
[HTC Sensation] kekkojoker90:
i want downgrade hboot no the firmware.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
If you are s-off you can flash an earlier ruu to downgrade hboot. Depending on which hboot you want, ie is it ICS or GB based, then you may need to change the firmware to match.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Great! Glad to hear you got it ^_^

Sent from my Sensation in UrQuan subspace
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
If you are on a windows box download the firmware that has he hboot you want and double click the zip. (don't extract it) and then delete everything inside but hboot and android-info.txt

But as the others said make sure you have a download of your current firmware also because a lot of hboot don't play well with all firmwares so you may make it unbootable which case you just reflash the working firmware with the hboot file.

(must be s-off for all this. I been trying to make an s-on way and so far no great luck)

adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot clear cache

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
A suggestion. It might be worth including 4ext image in firmware. Or just adding on with unlocked hboot + 4ext. I had to make one for myself when phone came back from repair, as stock hboot didn't allow flash cmd iirc. I mean instead of flashing fw and then pushing recovery, it could be done at the same time.

Hi, not sure if its because I have a tmobile sensation but after I downloaded the 3.33 firmware universal version (i've also checked the md5 after download) flashed the zip file in bootloader and updated my firmware. When I go into my settings, the baseband is still showing up as 3.32?
[HTC Sensation] :
hello the baseband that you see on the rom is not the firmware, to see the current firmware do as described below:

Connect your phone via usb (charge only), open a command window then type:

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

the device will reboot into bootloader and should read now fastboot USB. type:

Code:

fastboot getvar version-main

This will show your actual firmware version no matter what the build.prop says. If you want to check more info about your phone, type:

Code:

fastboot getvar all

When done type:

naming the .zip

This may be an incredibly stupid question, but why are most radio/firmware zips called PG58IMG.zip?

Is that a function of what the phone needs to see as a name?

I have different versions all named the same with ( ) for me to note which is what.

PG58IMG-twrp-pyramid-2.2.0.zip - 5.3M (small size, can't remember where I got this or what this is, in theory, for).

and then the 3.32.531 T-Mo US, universal 3.33.

Do you know if there is any reason I should stay with the firmware I have now or update to 3.33 universal?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

PG58IMG is the first thing bootloader looks for.

twrp is a recovery.

3.32 will still work for most roms.

3.33 is basically just a new radio.

[HTC Sensation] TOMWALK:
I second that. I'm on TMOUSA on Bruce2728's CM10 10/19 build with hboot 1.27 and the 1.76 radio. I was previously using the 3.32 firmware, and all of Bruce's CM10 ROMs were a little choppy, though they did improve. I flashed to the universal 3.33 firmware, and now everything is extremely smooth and quick.

EDIT: I should also note that the ROM hung upon the initial boot after flashing firmware 3.33. So, I did a battery pull, booted into recovery, fixed permissions, and wiped cache & dalvik cache. Now everything is stable and lightning fast. So, regardless of which ROM you decide to flash, if you have strange behavior upon the initial boot after flashing 3.33 firmware, you might try this.

Do I need to wipe everything before giving another shot or should I try the PG58IMG again (partial wipe?)
