If you have 4ext.net installed then you just need to flash whichever ICS rom you want as your hboot is already the latest.

Custom firmware can't be flashed without being s-off which at this moment Junobear is the only way I know of for your firmware version.

what's the difference between hboot 1.27.1100 and 1.27.1111?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Never seen 1.27.1111 so couldn't tell ya

1. 27.0000 vs 1.27.1100 is the second is unlocked so it allows fastboot commands

I have flashed with an ICS rom but when i reboot the phone it just loops at the splash screen - seems like somethink is missing from the booting process to tell it where to find the software.

When i do a superwipe and reboot the phone the same looping process happens so its not seeing the ROM - Am i using the wrong Hboot for my phone? how\where do i get the right one?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Ahhh that may be directly related to his specific s_off method. Kind of like how revolutionary goes to 1100.

I will ask him in IRC today and update this post

I have some battery drain issues can a firmware help that ??

I got an ics rom running 3.32 is 3.12 compatible ??

Also i just reboot in bootloader and update then reboot and delete file ??

Not sure which one to download i have an htc sensation 4g from canada it was on bell network originally but has been unlocked..
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
3. 30 is compatible but 3.12 only the hboot file is possibly compatible and that isn't guaranteed.

That is correct

And go get the app cid getter from the market it will tell you your original cid at the top in red. Then match it to post 2

[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Thanks but im supercid i can just pick any of them right ? And can a firmware affect battery somehow?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Correct you can use any of them.

Well many things can affect battery but firmware commonly isn't one of them.

Kernels, radio signal, applications running in the background, and syncing are battery killers most commonly.

Stuck in Boot loop

Hi

I have flashed using HTC Part 2 3.32 Unlocked: goo.gl/gq3KO. Phone just went into a boot loop. It turns on and switches off right after HTC splash screen and boots again. I have a backup I took using recovery before flashing. I tried restoring it.. It didnt help.. I tried downloading again and flashed. It is still stuck in boot loop. My CID is HTC_038 and MID is PG5813001. I took them through terminal before flashing using getprop.

I tried to wipe cache and Dalvik cache too.. It didnt help!

Any inputs are highly appreciated... :confused::confused::confused::confused:
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
I wanted to know if any other TMOUS Sensation 4G users have lost all functionality of the capacitive backlights of the touchpad buttons, proximity sensor, and ambient light sensor.

I changed the FW through the PG58IMG.zip for the hell of it and same thing:

I NOW HAVE THIS:

Baseband Ver: Radio_11.68.3504.00P_11.21.3504.13_2

Build Number: 3.32.401.5.CL309896 release-keys

This is what was installed BEFORE (as in 10 mins ago):

Baseband Ver: Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M (For some reason the U on my phone is a P instead).

Build Number: 3.32.401.5.CL309896 release-keys

PLEASE NOTE: All the sensors and capacitive lights are NOT working and have never worked with either versions that I installed above.

Has ANYONE else on TMOUS had this problem? I have scoured the forums endlessly and all I see is the questions but no answers at all!

HELP!!! :-(

---------- Post added at 03:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 AM ----------

Hey, you need to put PG58IMG.zip on the root of your SD card and boot into your bootloader and let it update itself. Do this a few times until you confirm the at your bootloader again and see the correct radios were flashed. I had to do it 3 times to make it stick. You are not a TMOUS user (I don't think from what I can tell) so you do not need to modify anything in the .zip file.

Refer to this thread and scroll towards the bottom and read about it. The boot-loop is the result of the radio NOT installing correctly. Don't panic because it is a simple fix!

[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Baseband still the same (sometimes the bootloader and rom report a slight difference. You are ok) and the build is reported by the roms. You can edit that to say tacos if you want in the build.Prop file.

What rom are you using and have you tried reflashing it or another rom since updating?

I had a CoreDroid ROM loaded before...its been so long I can't remember if the lights and sensors worked in the CoreDroid ROM or not.....I am also stuck with their ugly boot screen when I turn the phone on LOL
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Are you using the Energy ICS or the GB version? You need to have an ICS based rom with the 3.32 firmware. If you are on the ICS rom then it could be that you have a problem with the hboot version in the 3.32 firmware. Download the 3.12 firmware and copy the hboot file from the zip and replace the one in the 3.32 zip and then flash this modified zip.
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
The ROM is ICS......see below....
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Try reflashing the rom ontop of itself. (that way you lose no data)

Your sensors shouldn't be that out of whack

They just do NOT work at all and the capacative backlight only comes on and stays on all the time when I am in 4EXT and only if I have LeeDroid Tweaks installed to turn the lights on...but they are not supposed to be on all the time, they are supposed to go off after a few seconds. The lights being on all the time are a huge battery drain.

I tried the latest version of Leedroid Twinks 4.2 and the lights TOTALLY did not work at all.

[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
They're on the 1st page??? You could also try the patch file (also on 1st page) if you are still having bootloops on 3.24 firmware.

I've just read your post again and it's unclear as to whether you are having bootloops or whether you are just trying to remove the splash screen that pops up on first boot when you say you're "stuck with their ugly boot screen"?
[HTC Sensation] bashok001:
I tried DarkForest Sensation/XE 6.2.0 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1423684...

I have a question..These roms ask for 3.32.401.105 Firmware I downloaded 3.32..Is it the right one?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Correct Same 3.32 they are asking for.
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
Clyde: Sorry to confuse you.

I am not having problems with bootloops anymore as I discovered there us a trick that TMOUS users need to do to make sure the radio versions actually does indeed change and update, and the bootscreen can be fixed easily with another method.

My ROMs boot up successfully and I can use them but all of my sensors are still not working and either are my capacitive backlights for the touchpad at the bottom.

You told me to try the following from your other post: "If you are on the ICS rom then it could be that you have a problem with the hboot version in the 3.32 firmware. Download the 3.12 firmware and copy the hboot file from the zip and replace the one in the 3.32 zip and then flash this modified zip."

I am not sure if you were giving me that advice in helping with my backlight/sensors problem or you were confused with when I was talking about bootloops and bootscreens.

Again, I apologize for confusing you.

If you can clarify for me, then I will do the fix, if not I should probably leave it alone I assume.
[HTC Sensation] bashok001:
Then any other reason for my phone to go into a complete boot loop?
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
Bashok: Tell me briefly how you installed the FW version you are using. Did you see what I wrote before about flashing it a few times to make it stick?

Tell me what your Hboot & Radio is on your bootloader screen. Turn off your phone put the battery back in and hold the put the battery back in and hold the volume down button and loading to you and loading to your bootloader and see the radio and bootloader and see the radio and bootloader version there. loops are mostly caused bye either the firmware not being flashed correctly or the ROM not being installed correctly. I'm fairly new at this and not an expert but whenever I had Bootloops its been cuz of the firmware installation or re installing a ROM. Doing either of these should stop your phone from being in a continuous bootloop.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
The advice was to help with what I initially understood to be a bootloop.
[HTC Sensation] Masoun Mardini:
Thank you man

After flashing new firmware 3.32 (because i was very afraid to brick my phone :eek: ) i didn't take attention that i'm still on GB rom and there was a very long boot loops till i realize that i have to flash new ICS rom :o

[EDIT] : I still have ***LOCKED*** at the first line of my bootloader screen why ???? what can i do?????
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Don't worry about that up top. If you can flash firmware you aren't truly locked. The hboot file is a modified file which was originally posted without the ability to use fastboot commands.

Noob Problem with Bootloop

Hi,

I am having a double problem at the moment. I am not sure how I got there, but I am currently stuck in a boot loop. I know that if I am in a bootloop, it is because I have the wrong hboot.

So, I am trying to update the firmware to the correct one [Currently trying 3.32 - Please note that I have NOT update the firmware previously, it is still stock]. So, I put the PG58IMG.zip in the root of my SD card. But after reading the PG58IMG.zip, there's no yes / no question for installing, only the normal hboot menu.

HBoot reads:

***Unlocked***

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1-27.0000

eMMC-Boot

Other Info:

CID HTC__044

MID PG5813000

I have managed to get 4EXT Recovery RC3 installed. And have tried NUMEROUS things [too many to remember really]. But I am now out of ideas...

ANY pointers are VERY MUCH appreciated. There was someone else that has this problem, but it was a different version of HBOOT, and I am not sure how he solved his problem. He disappeared...

Thanks again.

RJ
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
rafstuf: I can help you with that. #1 have you considered doing S-OFF? #2 what is the name of the file that you put on the root of your SD card exactly. It must be named PG58IMG.zip exactly like that in the root of the SD card. Once you place it there and startup in your bootloader, it will scan for the zip file and ask if you want to install it.

If you want screenshots and more info you can PM me.
[HTC Sensation] rafstuf:
Hi mariosaraylian,

Yes I have considered S-OFF but AFAIK there is no way of doing it on HBOOT 1.27.000. The file is 100% called PG58IMG.zip... The bootloader recognizes the file, so i am sure the problem is not in that.

If you can give me some pointers on getting it S-OFF that would be good.

Thanks

Little help

Just following through these steps. How can you go straight from recovery to bootloader? Recovery only has an option to restart (not shut down) your phone. And when I tried adb reboot bootloader whilst my phone was in recovery, it couldn't detect the phone.

If I do view fastboot manually, with that PG58IMG.zip on the SD card root, will it always give an option to install. I've got it there now and I when I go to the fastboot view there's no option to install anything. Just the normal options (e.g. go into bootloader etc). Or will the install option only show once I've successfully managed to transition straight from recovery (after a superwipe) into bootloader without the phone booting normally between?

Thanks.

Hello,

a quick question :

We have 4 HTC Sensation here at work.

We have 2 completely official ones (S-On, etc ... nothing changed), and 2 S-OFF, with last firmware and custom roms.

We all have the same provider.

On the 2 S-On, tethering is working fine (wifi and USB).

On the 2 S-Off, tethering is NOT working (either wifi or USB)

I tried different roms on the 2 S-Off's : Virtuous Inquisition, Revolution HD, OpenSensation. -> same issue.

So my question is : could it be firmware related ?

I will test to reflash a RUU on one of these S-Off's Sensation that are impacted.

Thanks ! :)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
I use 4ext (which is probably why the instructions were written that way) where there is an option in 4ext touch for power menu, reboot into bootloader.

When you go into the bootloader and choose the option for bootloader it will prompt you to update then when done prompt you to reboot. Doesn't matter if you did recovery method first or last.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
I believe it is an ICS issue on custom ROMs (I know it has been an issue on roms for a while)

On the S-OFF ones try this.

[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Kohr you might wanna add this to OP

HOW TO

0. Make sure you are S-OFF

1. Download PG58IMG.zip for your CID (or any if you are SuperCID)

2. Copy/paste PG58xxxxx to the root of your microSD

3. Make sure MD5 match!!! MD5 checker I use HERE

4. Make sure MD5 match again!!!

4. And once again, make sure MD5 match.

5. Reboot into bootloader (if you don't know how to do it, don't do any of that at all)

6. microSD will be scanned and will ask you if you want to update, press +vol for YES

7. Follow onscreen instructions.

8. Now just pull sd card out (when process is finished) if you don't have microSD reader or delete PG58xxxx if you do. PG58 will prevent you from going into recovery if phone sees it.

9. Reboot into bootloader-go to recovery

10. Put your SD card back in

11. Reboot or flash new rom

12. You are done. Just delete that PG58 file so it doesn't stop you getting into recovery again.

Hi, i loaded firmware 3.24 to try ICS ROM and it all worked ok, but now i want to go back to my GB ROM what firmware do i need to flash before loading GB back on as i know this firmware doesnt run GB
[HTC Sensation] Parthiv:
Yes, I did 3.24 Revolutionary. CID- HTC_J15, MID- PG5813000
[HTC Sensation] McLongDong:
So after updating the firmware to 3.24, you won't be able to use GB Roms anymore? Is there one for 3.12 Revolutionary?
[HTC Sensation] frostmore:
some one here already explained but i will repeat for easy reference:

3.24 firmware only allows ICS to run.

3.12 allows both GB and ICS (Only the first leaked ICS rom will work on 3.12,hypernonsense,and other roms cooked on the latest leak won't work)

in order to go back to running GB,flash back 3.12 (the P59 img file can be found on the first page of this thread),shut down phone,insert your phone's sd card to a card reader,remove the p58 file,put in your GB rom and reboot to bootloader>recovery>flash your GB based rom.

The reason why it has to be like this is because the current leaked ICS flashed into your phone will not run on 3.12 firmware and will have bootloops.
