Where is the radio information ???

If it is not showing "11.21.3504", then firmware flashing is incomplete.

Try to reflash the firmware.
[HTC Sensation] vin255764:
How come every time I flash ROM (tried rcmix and coredroid) Phone keep rebooting (bootscreen and animation for 2 second,then reboot and same thing again and again and again) with firmware 3.24 (md5 checked and tested 2 firmware zips:china and t-mo) and it was a complete flash (had hboot 1.27,radio version and all that stuff)

cid 11111111

mid PG58*****

Once I flashed back to 3.12 firmware everything is back to normal.

Robocik recommended 3.24 for his 3.25XE base ROM,I guess I can just stick with 3.12?

Or may be I can make a zip with hboot from 3.12 and everything else from 3.24?

Or may be its a radio thing?The problem is its rebooting too quick/often,I cannot even look at logcat.

Please advice
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
This is something weired and reported by other users also. I have also mentioned it on my sticky thread.

But your idea is novel . It may work. Give it a try.
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
I'm interested in doing this, I'd like ICS on my Sensation.

For what I'm running on (See my sig) would it be difficult to implement this firmware to get to a stable ICS phone?

I'm still slightly unsure on what to do. I don't think I have SuperCID etc...
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Hi, You need not to be superCID. Follow this thread.
[HTC Sensation] vin255764:
Yep,it worked like a charm :)

I took hboot from 3.12 (1.23.0000)and everything else is from 3.24

edit:tried to flash standalone hboot 1.27 and got same constant reboot situation again.I guess my phone dont like 1.27..

uploaded firmware 3.24 with hboot 1.23 just in case.

[HTC Sensation] docnasef:
ok guys

please do not flame me if this question is VERY naive!!!

Now I'm planning on flashing an ICS ROM based on: Android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich) + Sense UI 3.6

so I'm guessing I'm gonna have to use the 3.24 umlocked

it was written just flash any one (since supercid) but will choose the one from my original cidnum: HTC__J15

I am ALREADY rooted, s-off and supercid (thanks to the wonderful guides here on xda also)

So if I wanna roll back to stock (for repairs and such)

Do I just flash my "back up ruu"?

will that nullify the flash of this firmware?

And does that mean if I do return once again from stock, I go through the whole steps again?

namely root, s-off, supercid and Firmware?

Thanks and sorry if q is really naive

I DID search, believe me!
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
Ok cheers, so this'll talk me through all the firmware stuff etc...

Then help me with flashing an ICS rom onto my phone.

According to CIDGetter:

CID is H3G_001.

MID is PG5813000

So now that I have this info I need to match up my CID & MID with the files that are in the first/second posts and place these and the ROM onto root of my SD Card, then use Superwipe for HTC Sensation.

Will I need to do anything else as I'm coming from ARHD 4.1.13 (android 2.3.5 & htc sense3.5)?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] mesiegw:
thnaks. very helpful :)
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Yes . Just follow the steps given the firmware thread.
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
As my modelid: PG5813000 should I download this:

There are a few different links there, which ones should I use?

I have the 6.x ARHD ROM, I have the Superwipe script.

How can I move forward from here?
[HTC Sensation] Floris-k:
I'm having issues with the 3.24 firmware with all ICS roms.

I follow the next steps

CID = 1111111

MID = PG5813000

Recovery -> Wipe all except SD card

Bootloader -> Install firmware 3.24

Recovery -> Wipe all except Sd card

Recovery -> Install ROM (ARHD, InsertCoin, HyperNonSense)

Recovery -> Wipe cache + Dalvik

When I reboot the phone it just bootloops everytime after 3 secs in my boot animation. Even booting without SD-card gives the same result.

Have tried it both with Mike his firmware and the firmware from this topic. Do you guys have any idea how to get this firmware working? Firmware 3.12 is just working fine.

btw: already installed the firmware 10+ times the last couple of weeks. My cid was HTC__E11 and changed it to supercid hoping this would fix it, but it didn't :(
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
If you want to use the latest arhd then that is the one you want :)

Sent from my Sensation in Ur-Quan subspace
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
You are one of the few cases where it isn't all of 3.24 that isn't working just the hboot. One thing you can do is replace the hboot in the 3.24 package with the on from 3.12 and it will work for you.

The rest of the package in 3.24 works fine (radio and such)

Sent from my Sensation in Ur-Quan subspace
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
Ok cool, so I'll download that, put it into my SD card root with the ROM and Superwipe. Then do HBOOT recovery etc...

Details:

CID: H3G_001

MID: PG5813000

Based on these are there any other files I need to download? The list is quite extensive on the 1st post.

This is the ROM I want to use. Android Revolution HD 6.2.1 XE

I've also downloaded this: 11.68.3504.00U_11.21.3504.13_2 radio
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
If you are on 3.12 now all you need is the 3.24 file but double click it. Delete the hboot file out of the zip (don't unzip it) then flash the 3.24 firmware and you should be golden.

That way it updates everything but the hboot

Sent from my Sensation in Ur-Quan subspace
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
Sorry, 3.12 for what? Oh right, 3.12 was ARHD 4.1.13

I've just downloaded the latest ARHD 6.x XE

the radio that was reccomended and this: DOWNLOAD 3.24 Unlocked: http://goo.gl/AfrSD

MD5: ee51063036f121008fd90f1b79f5bc8e

---EDIT---

So from the PG58IMG.zip I downloaded from here: DOWNLOAD 3.24 Unlocked: http://goo.gl/AfrSD

MD5: ee51063036f121008fd90f1b79f5bc8e (Is that the right file based upon my CID & MID?

Inside the PG58IMG.zip I need to delete a file called hboot_8x60 etc... Then put it all in my root on the SD card and flash from there, starting with the firmware, then superwiping, then flashing the ARHD ROM?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Oh lol I am sorry I was reading someone elses issue.

You are fine :) just get that file and follow the steps for flashing ICS in post 1.

Ignore the 3.12 suggestion.

download 3.24 unlocked.

Put that, the rom, and mikes superwipe file on your sdcard.

Pg58img goes on the root of your sdcard (aka in no directories)

Boot into recovery

Superwipe

Then flash the rom

Reboot into the bootliader and apply the firmware.

Then you are done :)

Sent from my Sensation in Ur-Quan subspace
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
Oh great lol :p

Ok so I put the PG58IMG.zip, The ARHD Rom, The superwipe.zip and the RADIO from the ARHD thread into my ROOT SD.

HBOOT the phone, then update? Then reHBOOT, superwipe, flash ROM on, et voila!

Will it be a good idea to run Titanium backup free before i do any of this?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Yes but only backup user apps. Not system apps as if you restore then it will mess up a lot of things.

See my last post before this for steps for flashing :)

[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
I'll dump all files into root except the ROM, I've a folder called !!ROMs on my SD Card for that.

Then I'll follow this guide:-

"I really want to use the latest ICS! How do I go about doing this?

I get this PM'd to me a lot. The best way I have seen to do it is as shown (Thanks to PaulGiz)

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 (ARHD Superwipe will reboot when done, others may not. Make sure it is a superwipe for the sensation!) & 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!!!

When do I flash the Radio on?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Radio is part of the firmware :) it will be updated for you

Sent from my Sensation in Ur-Quan subspace
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
Oh right, excellent, so that method I posted one post up will be ok?

Then I just need to make sure that all of my apps aren't on the SD card so that it won't crash/FC etc...

Thanks for all your help Kohr-Ah.

I'll do it now and let you know how it all goes.

So when I'm done I'll be running a stable version of ICS and all my apps and saved data will be there and working?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Exactly for the apps :) and that method above which you posted is the best way.

[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
Ok, I took out the SD Card, HBOOTED, moved to Recovery, inserted SD card again, pressed power on Recovery.

Now on Screen it's showing 4EXT Recovery Touch. What do I do from here?

---EDIT---

Should I go into the Install from SD card menu and see if the Superwipe Script is there?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Install from SD aand choose

Superwipe then it will go into recovery again.

Then flash the rom.

Then choose power menu and say boot into bootloader.

When bootloader prompts you to update say yes.

Reboot.

It's superwiped itself and now I'm looking at EXT4 again.

Today I did the swap myself, but tit didn't work. Also found a link to a PG58IMG.zip with hboot 1.23 in this topic and it also didn't work.But I'm not getting a reboot at boot animation.

I get the same error as with 3.12. The phone boots, spalsh screen, boot animation, black screen, splash screen *Freeze*

According to a couple of posts in the hypernonsense thread that's cause by wrong firmware, so I think I really need the Hboot 1.27 for Hypernonsense.

Bootloop Issue on Sensation

Hello There

I wanted to install the xtreme Sensation™ICS Rom on my unlocked Sensation so tried first to load the 3.24 firmware (having used adb to SUPER CID the phone)

I tried several versions of it (firstly the one that matched my CID before I SUPERed it)

Each one appears to load then gets stuck in a bootloop. Note, the device does not reboot halfway through (as is suggested it should) and the bootloader step is near the end (not first).

If I download the 3.12 firmware from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1432220 (associated with the Virtuous 3.5 ROM) then it works fine and it does reboot halfway through (having done the bootloader first of all).

I really want the 3.6 sense so need to make the 3.24 firmware work.

Anyone have a thought on what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks for your help

P
[HTC Sensation] DarkManHaze:
Are you sure your phone is now SuperCID?
[HTC Sensation] paulpbrown:
Well, I ran this from adb and that reports CID is 11111111.

However if I run the app "CID Getter" is still shows HTC_0001 - which is strange?

I have run adb read cid command several times though and it always shows 11111111.

Do I actulaly need the 3.24 Firmware to use a 3.6 Sense ROM?

thanks

P

---------- Post added at 08:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

So doing a bit more research, am I sequencing something wrong?

The device currently has a stock GB ROM so when I load the 3.24 firmware, is it not booting because the existing ROM is GB not ICS?

Do I need to immediately wipe something or flash the new ROM before a reboot.

Is the attempted reboot into stock ROM with 3.24 firmware what's causing the problem.

thanks

P

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

S O R T E D

My mistake - I needed to really follow the instructions carefully as follows...

Put SD card in once in bootloader - so firmware does NOT flash first

Load zip from card to WIPE

Load zip from card - new ICS ROM

then when it reboots to bootloader it will auto load correct firmware

That was a tough one :)
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
If you want to use SENSE 3.6 you should have v3.24 Firmware. What you are facing it is a known issue and weird . It is happening for a small group of users. We have to wait till HTC releases the next firmware as till know there is no known fix.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
@paulpbrown

Also cid getter will show your original cid :)

The fastboot getvar way shows your current cid which will show you are supercid

I have an European factory unlocked sensation and i have bricked it once already had to go back to the stock. Just a quick question is there a difference between Rom for the European version and American version. I want to flash Insert coin but i bricked my cell phone last time and its a headache to restore everything. What firmware should i flash exactly? It is super cid'ed as well. I am new to sensation moved from samsung where flashing was fairly simple

[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
There's always been an HTC part 1 and part 2. They cater for different CID's as you can see on the first page, but you need to install the correct one for your CID, unless of course you're SuperCID in which case you can use either. There's also an O2 and Others Part 1 and Part 2 and a Vodafone........ etc etc etc.

Bootloop

I'm hoping you guys can give me a hand with an issue I can't fix. After flashing the newest firmware my phone has been looping. I've tried several methods to fix this such as reverting to the oldest firmware but I can't seem to get any rom to boot.

I have a TMOUS sensation. I had the newest ARHD running. I can get the phone into HBOOT, Fastboot, and 4EXT recovery. Any additional ideas would be great.

Thanks.

Did your phone work fine on the last firmware? (I am guessing was 3.24)?
[HTC Sensation] pepe6934:
Yes. Everything was fine until I decided to upgrade to the newest firmware.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
try clearing cache and dalvik in recovery (also make sure you are on 3.24 or 3.30 for ARHD since you flashed back and forth a few versions)

see if it boots
[HTC Sensation] pepe6934:
I wiped both and it didn't boot. I then did a superwipe and re-installed ARHD 6.3. Still looping.
[HTC Sensation] gio_Az:
Yes i had checked that, didn't help. wiped cache and dalvik, also didn't help. Ended up reflashing the fw and a full wipe reflashed the rom and I'm good again.

[HTC Sensation] dragon25slayer:
where did the locked versions all go to they used to be here but they are not now there all unlocked versions.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Mostly newer radio and mostly because it is what came with the new ROM bases.

Took them off because more people were requesting unlocked.

It isn't the same as HTC Unlocked (which voids your warranty) it is unlocked as in you get all the fastboot commands back.

[HTC Sensation] dragon25slayer:
im super cid
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I just want to confirm a few things before trying this. The newest 3.30 will work with any of the 3.24 roms?

If I just want to update the firmware do I need to reflash the rom as well? If I don't, flashing the newest firmware won't wipe my current settings?

Is there any reason to update? I understand it's a new radio, but does that mean it's a better radio?

Last question, do I need to superCID my phone over again after I flash new firmware?
