neither of them ,

S-ON devices can't flash firmware

unlocked bootloader using htc dev also can't flash Firmware

read those 2 posts 299 and 318 to understand your Alternatives
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Just make sure you are on fw3.32 (you are supervisor so doesn't matter which you download). Superwipe. Install the rom and see if it boots.

There are many thongs that can cause it not to boot but that thread can tell you what to do better than I can.

Ok so i downloaded the zip, put it on my root of sd and went to hboot and get no prompt each time.... It acts like its not there. What do i do?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Make sure the zip isn't named PG58IMG.zip.zip and double check to make sure it is /sdcard/PG58IMG.zip and not in any folders

[HTC Sensation] Sinistah_:
I made sure of both. And still nothing.

Edit: i checked the md5 and it doest match wat do i do
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Possibly a bad download.

If you double click the zip are all the files inside?

Can you post a screencap of a file manager with the PG58IMG.zip in it? That way I can see of something is messing with it.

Mist firmware files are about 14 megs give or take a meg

I solved it. It was all right but it wasnt scanning. After booting like twenty times it finally found it and i got the prompt. Idk why it took that long when im assuming it should of went the first time lol.
[HTC Sensation] blahbl4hblah:
Just wondering, was there any changes to the final ruu that would need a small update for the firmware?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Nope was the equivalent of an ota update.

The base is the same (read the first three numbers) still 3.32.xxx.xxx

The CID and MID for my phone (Mytouch 4G slide) is as follows:

CID: T-MOB010

MID: PG5910000

I would like to use Virtuous Inquisition ROM.

Which firmware should I use? On the available firmwares for download, I see matching CID, but MID does not match.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
That is because the firmware is only for an HTC Sensation. These firmwares will most likely brick your phone if flashed on your mt4gslide

Thank You.

[HTC Sensation] Ditamae:
Kohr-Ah,

Thanks so much for creating this thread. I'll be updating a family member's Sensation soon and I wanted to ask one quick question first... hypothetically, couldn't one place SuperWipe, ROM, and Firmware on their SD card. Boot into Recovery and flash Superwipe and the ROM. And then boot directly from Recovery into the bootloader and update their firmware? This may seem obvious, but I always like to triple check when working with someone else's device! ;)

Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Yes you can do that. All you have to do is place all zips on the root of your sdcard. And do not forget to delete the firmware zip (PG58IMG.zip) after firmware upgrade in the last step..
[HTC Sensation] Ditamae:
For sure. :) Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
yes , you can do that , that is exactly what i did to flash Rom and firmware

But after flashing super wipe and the rom , when you reboot from recovery to bootloader , it will take you to black screen instead of bootloader

just remove the battery , put it back and boot to bootloader and flash the firmware

welcome , awaiting your coming back , hope everything is going well with your exames
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Dont need to go back to 1.17 unless for some reason you wanna go back to gingerbread.
[HTC Sensation] twoxa:
Thanks Kohr-Ah! I did update my HBOOT by accident... hope S-OFF is not going to disappear somehow...
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Unless it performs a write secure command (which what I been told the update doesn't) you won't lose S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] gian18:
Here's what happened. I was using internet-pass-through with my Sensation XE for me download games and saw in my notifications that there's an available system update which is the android 4.0, etc. I downloaded the file and installed it but during the installation i got stucked with picture of an android and beside it is a exclamation point in a triangle. I removed the batt and turned on the phone and nothing happened, nothing new. So, I searched in youtube and saw a way of updating ICS in my phone. My phone had S-off but still using Stock rom. I entered the bootloader then CWM then formatted the system, cache, then tried to update to ICS since i got the zip file already in my SDcard. After then, the installation was aborted, it says cannot find system/build.prop or something. I rebooted my fone and I got stucked up with the HTC logo and white screen. Omg please help me.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
you formatted the system , so there is no system the device can boot to ! ( format is not like factory reset

you have a lot of options :

if your hboot says still as isand read 1.18 or 1.17 then super wipe and restore a GB NAND backup if you have one , or flash your original RUU that you were using

if your hboot says 1.27 ( because you tried to flash the OTA ) , then super wipe then you can either :

downgrade your firmware to 1.17 from OP according to your cid , then flash a GB custom rom or flash your original RUU that you were using

or if you want ICS then flash ICS 3.32 according to your cid , then super wipe and flash a ICS Custom rom ARHD 6.6.1 ( do that as described in the OP of this thread )
[HTC Sensation] gian18:
Sorry. I'm so noob at this. How can I superwipe it? And, which would you prefer. Should I downgrade it since it says 1.27 and flash to original RUU then update OTA for ICS or flash ICS 3.32, etc, like you said? Thank you so much.
[HTC Sensation] g0t0:
I am wholly confused and have been stuck for the last 2 hours. I s-off my Sensation. Had it at 1.17. Then Super CID'd it to have "11111111". I want to install Virtuos ICS so I tried to flash 3.32. I accidently flashed the China one and got the white screen boot loop. Flashed it back to 1.17. Then used T-Mobile 3.32.

Got the bootloop again. flashed back to 1.17. saw somewhere that HTC part 1 was good so tried that. Got the loop again.

All the while I was flashing 3.32, I saw i was only seeing 1.27. Also, when I flashed back to 1.17 or had the 1.27, i still had s-off. BUT I still cant get root (used root checker):HOWEVER, I can go to CWM when I have it back to 1.17. BUT it still says no root when Im in android.

I got this far by following "[Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on" but i cant get further.

I hope noone is as confused as me...HELP!

UPDATE: Got it rooted, but stil a nogo for 3.32. I was able to use 3.12, but only got a hboot 1.23. At least I can go in to the phone with this one.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
super wipe is done by putting the super wipe zip file on your SD Card and go to

custom

recovery and flash it as usual , download it here Super Wipe

it will do what format everything except your personal Data on SD card and then will reboot into recovery , so there will be no system to boot to

just after super wipe , you should flash either a custom Rom from recovery or an RUU from PC to be able to boot into something

about your options :

if seems you like to have ICS so i prefer to you to install Custom ICS Rom

to install ICS you need to install suitable Firmware 3.32 package according to your cid ( this is found in the first page on this thread ) and super wipe and install Custom ICS Rom

ARHD 6.6.2 Custom Rom is recommended as a start here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 )

installation procedure is either according to the steps in this thread first page User Friendly Firmware Upgrade

or go to this guide also for installation of ICS How To Flash ICS 3.32 Firmware & ARHD 6.5x ICS Rom

the difference between the two guides ( personally i prefer the one in this thread ) is the sequence of flashing ( which is flashed first )

according to this thread , Put the 3 files on your SD Card ( super wipe , ARHD Rom , Firmware PG58IMG.zip ) tthen boot into recovery then flash super wipe , then after it reboots to recovery flash ARHD 6.6.2 Rom , then from recovery reboot into Hboot and flash firmware 3.32 ( done )

first of All , i don't like hboot 1.23 ( because it is locked ) don't stay on it much

you can do either of the following :

flash firmware 3.32 according to your cid and flash

ARHD 6.6.2

as a start ( later on after it boots up , you can choose any other ICS rom based on firmware 3.32 )

or if you have problems with installing 3.32 firmware , then downgrade to firmware 1.17 and install GB custom rom

then start from scratch the firmware 3.32 and ICS Rom installation again

when you flash a firmware you have to immediately flash corresponding rom to avoid boot loop ( i.e GB Rom after flash 1.17 and ICS Rom after flash 3.32 )

[/QUOTE]

At this point I left my Hboot at 1.23 and installed Virtuous Stock ICS (which runs off of 1.23). I will attempt to do the ARHD rom and see if it works.

From your last sentence, should I flash 3.32 then, when it asks for power button to reboot, I should pull the battery, restart into CWM and install the ROM. All before the flash has a chance to reboot?
[HTC Sensation] mqazimi:
Guys,

How can it be possible? When I check CID through fstboot command on bootloader it says I'm superCID 111111, when I check through Teminal command it says I'm HTC_038.

Now which one is true?

any help!!!
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Fastboot is always correct

Terminal is your original cid

[HTC Sensation] mqazimi:
Thanks a lot Kohr-Ah,

I just re wrote my CID through fastboot and it is same scenario.

But as you told me then I will be able to flash any ROM I want right?
[HTC Sensation] Spaiky:
I've read it somewhere, but can't find it anymore. When I flash the 3.32 firmware I got the bootloops. Now I've flashed the 3.12 firmware so I've no problem. That one boots fine. I flashed the ARHD 6.5.0. and on this way it works fine. (firmware 3.12 and 6.5.0.)

But there must be a solution of this or my problem. How to fix this, so I can flash the 3.32 firmware without the bootloops? I'm Super CID, the did the right steps of flashing l, it's only the problem (that more people have) with the 3.32 firmware and the bootloops.

Anyone?
[HTC Sensation] mqazimi:
I believe you have to flash PG58IMG for 3.32 in order to work ARHD.

I believe it says there with red letters "choose the right one"

Here is what is says "Note: You will need to flash the appropriate 3.32.405.x firmware located in this thread. Then you go down to page and find Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU

you find there message Only for 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x based ROMs

This will work I believe.
[HTC Sensation] Spaiky:
Yes I know, but that's not the problem... I have flashed it, but that gives my sensation bootloops. So I flashed back to 3.12, then flashed the ARHD 6.5.0. It all works fine now, but I want 3.32 firmware. I've read somewhere that there is a solution for this problem. But I don't know anymore where I've read it...
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Correct. You can flash and rom and any RUU from any carrier.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542555

That has fixed it for some. (I think that is the solution that you were mentioning.)

Some say flashing the non Revolutionary HBoot fixes it.

The rest have to use the 3.12 HBOOT.

Now. You can download 3.32 Flash it then download 3.12 and open up the zip and delete all the files in it but hboot and android-info.txt then flash it and your phone will boot as well. (Dont unzip the zip just double click it and delete all but those 2 files).

Beyond that no one has an insight as of yet of why some people cant use the 3.32 firmware and others can not. But above is the work around that has worked so far.
[HTC Sensation] Spaiky:
Yes, thanks!

I'm gonna try this out.

[HTC Sensation] turkish-soldier:
I have coredroid gb 3.3 which firmware must i have? 1.17 hboot or 1.23/1.20 hboot or something?:)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Well if you are on CoreDroid Gingerbread I am assuming (though I shouldn't assume) you rooted with revolutionary which would yield you hboot 1.17.1111. Just stick with that unless you plan on going to ICS. It is about the same as the 1.17 package here and as for 3.12 it was the first ICS release which went back and forth from GB to ICS. I prefer 1.17 over 3.12 myself.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
it is not mentioned how you installed this rom ( either after S-OFF , or you unlocked bootloader by htc dev ? )

you are using GB Rom , then you have GB Firmware , and you don't need to flash it again

Firmware flash is only required in the following cases :

you want to try ICS custom Rom , that requires to flash suitable ICS firmware

you didn't like ICS after you tried it and want to go back to GB , that requires to flash GB Firmware 1.17

ICS firmware is dependent on the ICS Custom Rom base version , the most recent Base now is Firmware 3.32 with hboot 1.27 that can be used with ARHD 6.6.2

Never try to go to ICS unless you are S-OFF

, because if you installed ICS ( either by OTA or used htc dev to unlock bootloader ) you will be stuck and not able to S-OFF your device

hboots :

1.17 , 1.18 , 1.17.1111 comes with GB , 1.17.1111 is the revolutionary S-OFF hboot

1.23 comes withICS Firmware 3.12 ( very old and not recommended and to be used with Old ICS Roms with the same base 3.12 ) ,

Don't use hboot 1.23 ( it is a locked hboot and can cause lots of problems to you )

1.27 is used starting of firmware 3.24 up to firmware 3.32 ( current )
[HTC Sensation] turkish-soldier:
I went back from ics,and installed coredroid gb rom,noe i get phone restarts on hboot 1.23,so i must go to firmware 1.17,and afterwards i want to instal 1.20 hboot for stability,where can i find hboot 1.20?? neither do i need to install hboot 1.20??
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
That... is a very good question :D

I haven't seen hboot 1.20 in months because it was so short lived. I will see if I can find an older link for it and post it for you.
[HTC Sensation] turkish-soldier:
Or can i use hboot 1.23?? I installed firmware 1.17 and still getting restarts...while playing gangstar rio....
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Yup 1.23 will boot gingerbread roms and runs well

Sent from my Sensation in UrQuan subspace
[HTC Sensation] turkish-soldier:
must i now install hboot or the firmware package what contains 1.23??

3.12 is ICS 4.0.3 FW before that (Sense 3.5 Version) <-- so i must download this one?
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
why do you want to install Hboots ( 1.20 and 1.23 ) not Supported by revolutionary and also locked ??? , if for any reason or by mistake done S-ON you will be stuck !!

All of us get S-OFF that give hboot 1.17.1111 custom Revolutionary Hboot , works fine with GB , no restarts and stable

my advise is stay on custom Revolutionary Hboot if you want to use GB

for restarts install a good rom from scratch and don't add a lot of unknown mods or strange kernels to it , use the proven ones

you said it only restarts with a game , maybe it is the game itself that has a bug , or your memory getting low , if this is the case then changing hboot will not solve it

either way it is better and safer for you to stay on an unlocked Revolutionary hboot

[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Nope. With S-ON and HTC Unlock you can flash a custom firmware then a custom rom that supports that firmware (so you can use the latest Roms as of now) but you can't flash a new firmware set without being s-off

You have hboot 1.27 which is the same hboot as firmware 3.32. So if you flash a custom recovery (which HTC unlock allows) you can then flash arhd6.6.x, insert coin 5.2.x etc etc and it will work no problem

As you are s-on you can't flash any custom firmwares. That requires s-off. But you can flash a custom recovery

You should be good to go down to 3.30 but no further.

I would suggest flashing the latest bricked though as the heat of the phone is usually, i may be wrong, controlled by the thermald conf file which the kernel reports to. Try to update to the latest version first and also and if given a choice choose to not OC the GPU.

I attempted to S-OFF with controlbear but didnt work and the phone would always boot into the controlbear flash screen. I downloaded and installed the recovery 4ext and boot.img and now the phone loops with the htc splash screen.

I tried using this thread and my CID is 02__01 and MID is PG5813000 - downloaded the correct PG58IMG for 3.32 and place on my sd card and booted phone to fast boot. The phone parses the file but doesnt install anything the goes back to the HBoot menu - I have now downloaded the PG58IMG for 3.12 and still the same result

So i cant boot the phone as it loops and when i install and rom it doesnt boot up.
