Question

Good Days Sirs,

I have a question :) I see there is a Universal 3.33 FW in the OP...but the TMOUSA FW is the 3.32 is it safe to flash the the Universal one or should there be a 3.33 TMOUSA one? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
TMOUS latest firmware is 3.32.531.14. There is no big difference between 3.32 firmware and 3.33 firmware except the radio and the rils. If you are a TMOUS user it is better to stay with the 3.32.531.14. I’m a TMOUS user and I’m using the TMOUS firmware and only updated the radio and the rils from 3.33 firmware as I get little better signal. You can download them from radio’s and rils thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202867

Y u no share?

Just prop tweaks, init.d scripts, basics like that to give the TMOUS base rom the love it deserves and the stability I crave.

First thanks for all the work done.

I just have 1 question. If I am on 3.32 I can use FULL package or PATCH? It doesn't matter which 1 or does it?

Hi,

You want the full universal 3.33 package.

I have S-OFF, superCID, CM9 RC2, clockworkmod recovery 5.8.0.9.

I tried flashing Firmware 3.33 Universal Patch, because i go from 3.32 to 3.33, but after flashing in bootloader i delete PG58IMG.zip from sdcard and when i restart it keeps all the time in boot animation.

I´m doing something wrong?

How do I check my current firmware?? I don't know if I should use the patch or the full. I can't remember which firmware I have but I currently have SmartDroid Berserk 1.5. Thanks for the help!
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
To check the firmware version you need to enter the following cmd in adb/fastboot: fastboot getvar version-main
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
Thanks!

Is there a way to check through terminal?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
There should be but I'm not certain of the cmd :o
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
I just did what you gave above and it freezes at waiting for device.

I go into cmd and cd over to the folder with adb in it and then type the command in right?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Right. Are you running cmd from fastboot though. you need to boot to bootloader first
[HTC Sensation] ImHuge07:
Ah okay there was my problem. Looks like I have 3.32.401.5. Guess I will do the patch then =D.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] sIpInWiT mYdRoId:
Man you all are extra awesome. Especially you Kor-ah even though i dont know you, and Clyde B1 for the info that was just posted that helped me out. Im pretty sure my htc sensation that broke and had to get a refurb sent to me with ics installed, now has an unlocked bootloader when i thought it was impossible. Am i correct that even though it don't say unlocked but just revolutionary that my bootloader is still unlocked. Before flashing the 3.32 firmware my phone said lovcked and i thought my only choice was htc dev unlock? I do know my h boot changed from 1.27.000 to 1.27.111 and 1 thing i do know is that's a good thing. Plus my firmware version shows 3.32 now instead of 9.99.999.999 Like when i went straight to 3.33 after being s-off with the firmware in steve0007's thread. Thank you all if i am correct that my boot loader is unlocked. And i didnt even have to ask a thing just gotta throw some thanks to you all:cowboy:
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Correct :)

Revolutionary soff means you are unlocked.

Should the top ever say locked it just means you can't use fastboot commands. You are still soffed and can flash whatever you want :)

[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Thanks. I think the only thing putting me off is reading about the random wifi problems people are having on 3.33. Does the wifi problem seem to be isolated and is there a sure fix for it?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Sure fix... Ehh not that I have seen no. I know the wifi fix does seem to fix it 90% of the time.

I have read they did isolate why the problem occurs but honestly I don't remember. I believe it was a driver issue.

If you want just go to mf2112 thread and update the radio and ril that way. Better safe than sorry. You will still get the better reception.

Need help!!!

After updating the 3.33 firmware, i pressed 'power' buttom to reboot, but it stoped at HTC logo, cant get into fastboot or recovery.

Anyone know why? Please help? Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Pull battery and then try booting to bootloader again. Then try doing what Kohr-Ah suggests. Download 3.12 firmware, open the zip and delete all files except for hboot and android-info and flash that
[HTC Sensation] seawind107:
Yes, I did pull out the battery and reboot. I found that my radio is 11.76A.3504.00_11.24A.3504.31, Does that mean i have updated the firmware successful?Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Yes it does, unless of course you flashed the radio separately ;)

I think it also gets unlocked,but I'm not sure.

[HTC Sensation] toreone:
So if a ROM calls for 3.33 would I still be ok using the 3.32 because it "recommends" 3.33?! The guy building the rom is in Europe but I am not sure if he has taken the TMOUS User into account. Thanks for your help.
[HTC Sensation] emanon:
TMOUS users or not, there is really not much difference between 3.32 and 3.33 firmware except radios and rils. hboot 1.29 is locked at the moment so everyone still using hboot 1.27 unlocked for the sake of fastboot. if you are on 3.32 firmware and want to try 3.33, just install the radio and the ril. I've already tried 3.33 based rom and they work just fine with updated radio and the ril. This way you still have your provider dish file like I'm using latest dish2 file from the 3.32.531.14.

\Regards,
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Just to be sure, which are the main differences between 3.32 and 3.33? Is there a difference which can affect the performance of the phone? There are lots of rumors that phones with fw 3.32 are faster than 3.33 ;)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Advanced digital signal processor

Radio

Trust zones

We're the main files that changed.

Sbl1,2,3 stayed the same.

Mine 3.33/3.32 run the same but I am on a 3.32 rom. I just get better signal in Illinois. No speed boosts in data though

Sent from my Sensation in UrQuan subspace
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Thanks for making that clear :) so there shouldn't be a noticeable performance difference between the two firmwares..? Or do you know whats the Advanced digital signal processor thing for? :D
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Not so much no :)

As for what it is for. It is what it says. A signal processor. This means that it deals with identification, modeling and utilization of patterns and structures of a signal process. (signal to noise ratio)

So its job is to make sure you get the least amount of noise as possible to your phone via radio communication

Hey man,

Thanks for all the work on doing this, I could risk and do something by guessing, but I figure its better to ask.

I have s-off and superuser and CID: 11111111 and MID PG58******

Reading 1st post on this thread you explain how to edit "android-info" file, but I am not sure what to put for "cidnum"

I have a USA t-mobile phone and t-mobile GB rom on it. (I have this phone for 2 days now -bought it used)

I thought I'll make it ready for flashing new ICS rom, although I will not be flashing it now as GB seems ok to me for now.

Here are few details I put together in case any of them helps in identifying what I am looking for:

[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Hi! reboot your phone into bootloader, connect it to pc, start adb on pc and then type

fastboot getvar cid

That will give you the 8 alphanumeric characters code you have to put as cidnum. Watch the video linked on the OP if you have any further doubts. It is pretty self-explanatory

Please help
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
If you flash the new firmware (3.33 Universal Full) it includes the radio. When flashing radio via fastboot you need to ensure the phone is booted to bootloader mode and that you have the correct drivers installed. Boot to bootloader, connect to pc and enter cmd fastboot devices. If your serial number gets returned then you are good to go and you can rerun the cmd. Also be sure that the radio.img file is in the same location as your adb and fastboot.exe files.
[HTC Sensation] RucaNebas:
Thank you for message, but unfortunatly doesn't work.

Another suggestion?

Boot phone to bootloader mode, connect to pc and install these drivers on your pc. Then try the fastboot devices cmd again.

In another words, I need to flash the hboot 1.27.1100 patch from post 2 and then to flash the new firmware (3.33 Universal Full) right?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Well no. If you wanted to go to 3.33 just do the 3.33 full on the root of your sdcard :) it has 1.27.1100 in it so it will update it a long with it and then you will have no need of fastboot at all (because it will update everything in the full firmware)

Thank you.

[HTC Sensation] smoothy666:
I made the mistake once of copying 2 fw files to the root , I deleted one of them not realising there was now a numbe 1 next to the file name! Doh, needless to say the firmware never worked. Also delete it from the root after the install or it will cause loop!
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Your picture is way to small to be able to see anything, so I'm not sure what messages you are getting. If you put the 3.33 firmware package on the root of your sd card (keep the name the same ie PG58IMG.zip and don't unzip it) and then boot the phone to booloader mode. The device should run through a series of checks and ask if you want to update your phone once it finds the PG58IMG.zip file (you may need to press the Power button with hboot selected for it to do the check, it's been a long time since I did this last ;)). Press volume up to flash. This will also do the update of the radio at the same time so you won't need to flash that.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Follow this guide if you need more detail on how to do it. But the first post is pretty self-explanatory

If you are S-ON the only way to upgrade firmware is RUU but if you are S-OFF you can flash the firmware PG58IMG.zip file
[HTC Sensation] xunair:
I flashed it and deleted that file

In fast boot usb

It shows

3.33.401

But in about phone its still old one 3.30.401

Before flashing image file hboot was 1.27

Now it's 1.27. 11 and it was locked

And now it's revolutionary
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
3.30.401 is your ROM software version, not your firmware version. The hboot says Revolutionary instead of LOCKED because the hboot was modified by the Revolutionary team to enable extended fastboot commands - this is also why the version is now 1.27.1100 instead of 1.27.0000
[HTC Sensation] Croandroid1996:
Tnx on advice. But I can't connect my phoneto cmd e.g. every command don't do a thing. Any link for a guide for my noobis problem???
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Do you have the Android SDK tools (ie ADB and Fastboot) installed on your pc? Here is a very detailed guide for SDK, ADB etc. You don't really need the whole SDK though, so read the guide and instead of the entire SDK install the one attached. Then once installed and working, open a cmd window from the directory where you have installed the sdktools and enter the following cmds:

adb reboot-bootloader (this will boot your phone into bootloader mode)

fastboot getvar version-main (this will show the firmware version installed)

Unable to add apn's with 3.33

Kor-Ah thanks for all your work. I recently upgraded to 3.33 from 3.32 via the universal patch, and had no mobile reception (couldn't find the network at all).

I went into the apn screen and it was empty. Tried adding an apn for t-mobile, but it would not save. I was wondering if anyone else had similar issues at all?

If not, i'll just go back to 3.32 to make sure the issue is specific to the patch.
