I seem to have a slight issue.

I wanted to install CWM's new touch recovery so I downloaded it and hit up the bootloader to fastboot flash it. I guess I had Mike's old superCID 3.24 with fastboot commands not working because it failed to get access. So I came here and read your thread. You mentioned since my phone is superCID'ed that any of the 3.24 firmware's will work so I went ahead and flashed the TMO one and all went fine. Rebooted back into fastboot and flashed CWM Touch.

Now the phone wont boot into recovery, just skips it. I've tried flashing recoveries manually and using ROM Manager to no avail, it just skips it at reboot.

Any insight?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Just to confirm. You downloaded CWM Touch from this Site http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager and it was version 5.8.0.2 which was for the HTC Sensation?
[HTC Sensation] uberingram:
Yes sir. I tried both that and just to make sure it wasn't me I dropped the 2 bucks to try and get ROM Manager to flash it. Both say they are successful so I'm kind of at a loss.

I know it isn't completely related to the OP but maybe it is and I'm not seeing it.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I don't think ClockworkMod Touch works with the Sensation yet. I just downloaded the update off the market yesterday and the app itself says "Your device isn't supported yet".

So the Clockwork app won't let you even try to flash the Touch recovery. You can absolutely flash it using fastboot, but that doesn't mean it'll work.

You should be able to boot into your phone still like normal, download either Clockwork Mod or 4EXT and flash the proper recovery right from the phone. Neither app will let you flash an incompatible recovery. And both should overwrite whatever wrong recovery you have in there now.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
As above me said I know it says the Sensation is supported for touch on their site but they must of uploaded a bunk image.

I manually flashed old CWM and it works instantly and flashed 4ext and it worked instantly too
[HTC Sensation] uberingram:
Please read what I posted thoroughly, it is supported per the app and Koush but you did remind me to try manually flashing an older recovery so thanks for that I guess.

Yeah, I could have sworn I tried flashing an older standard CWM recovery but that did that trick. I'll take it up with Koush from here. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Read what I said thoroughly. I know the app shows support for touch, but it doesn't actually work yet.

Don't get snippy with me because you don't like the way I'm trying to help you. I'm on the other side of the country trying to help you fix your problem.

At least I was trying to help you....now I don't care.

I save PM58IMG's, just for fun in case I ever need to change or redo firmware for whatever goofy reason might come up when I'm way from my computer....

What I do is have a folder called PM58IMG where I store various firmware files that I rename to be more descriptive like 3.12 or 3.24 locker or 3.24 unlocked.

That way I have them handy on my SD card in case somewhere ever got wonky and needed to be fixed while I'm out. All I have to do is move them to the root of the SD card and rename it to PM58IMG and boom...firmware ready to go.

It's already come in handy once, having them available.

Small confusion

Hi, I got my Sensation two days ago and I've red all the guides in Sensation section, but I am bit confused. Now I have completely stock sensation, s-on, hboot 1.18.0000 and I want to flash ICS rom. But I dont know if I should s-off my Sensation with Revolutionary, install ClockworkMod recovery and then folow guide in here, or if I just need to flash firmware from this thread. And what if I want to go back to original if something goes wrong and I need to send it to a warranty repair?

I'm sorry for such a noob guestions :-(
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
If you want to do ICS from here you need to do revolutionary, cwm, and then follow with the firmware from here.

If you read the s-off guide it tells you after step 4 how to return to stock for warranty or just to unroot. It isn't too hard to do.

Xda will always improve over the stock ICS just remember all ICS out now are betas and may have a bug or two

Also questions are how you learn so don't be sorry :)

Hi

I had searched for my question, but but came up with nothing...

OK, here's if I flash the new FW, AND I don't like the bugs in ICS, can I switch back to GB without flashing the older FW? R they compatible?

Thx
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
The only fw that is compatible with both is 3.12.

So if you use a ROM based on ICS sense 3.5 then yes. If you use the latest which is ICS sense 3.6 then no (because it needs 3.24)

Read this thread. Look into section 9.
[HTC Sensation] zukа:
Okay, I've tried seemingly a hundred different solutions and I just can't figure this out.

I'm attempting to flash Android Revolution HD 6.2.1 or Insertcoin 4.5.0 on the new ICS firmware package (HBOOT 1.27). These ROMs are both only supposed to work with 1.27. Whenever I install them to my phone when it has HBOOT 1.27 installed, they bootloop - ARHD at the Quietly Brilliant screen, Insertcoin doesn't even get that far.

However, when I have HBOOT 1.23 installed, both boot up, which apparently is not supposed to happen. I've redownloaded and reflashed three times for each ROM and I'm getting the same results.

My processes I've tried -

Flash firmware, remove from SD card, super wipe, install ROM

Super wipe, install ROM, flash firmware, remove from SD card

Neither works and it's doing my head in, and I just can't figure out why it's not working. If anybody could help out that'd be great - apparently the newest firmware is necessary for these ROMs to work to their fullest potential.

I'm S-OFF'd and Super CID'd and have been using the firmware packages from both Mike's thread and User Friendly Firmware, both without success.

This is very unusual. Did you checked the md5 sum of your files? try to see the logcat output from adb terminal.

I flashed firmware 3.24 and an ICS rom and now it will not load up the Rom and does not recognize any of the 3.24 firmware files. It also will not let me restore old back-ups
[HTC Sensation] zukа:
It sure does - installs first few components, reboots into fastboot, installs the others then requests reboot. Everything's working fine on reboot and HBOOT version is 1.27.

4EXT recovery starts in safe mode though - is that normal?

I'll post the logcat when I get home (after I figure out how to do it...)
[HTC Sensation] ctdemonet:
3.25 working?

Hello,

With release of 6.2.x, I believe Mike has enabled ARHD to run on 3.25 version of firmware.

I used the previous version 3.24 used for ARHD 6.1.x to upgrade to ARHD 6.2.x because I have T-Mobile US and only your "user-friendly" firmware has my mid/cid info

However

When I try to install mods and add-ons for 6.2.x, my rom does not boot and I have to go into recovery and re-flash ARHD. I am almost certain this is due to still being on 3.24 (I have confirmed I have 3.24 and not 3.25 in bootloader)

Is there any way to confirm your firmware is 3.25 compliant?

TY and sorry for long read ;)

Edit: also my version of HBoot is not the newest version that is posted in ARHD by Mike saying "required for 6.2.x". I believe I have 1.27.0000 and not 1.27.1100 like the different "how to install 6.2.x" guides mention

but I don't think this is the source of the issue either.
[HTC Sensation] 1Rus1Fantom:
Hello guys, I have met problem - i start flashing firmvare with low battery, and it said low voltage. I charged battery, but when i wanted to resume it said incorrect cid. Before i had cid HTC_A07 and mid PG5813000. And i can't reach to get phone cid now, fastboot don't see it, and phone won't boot up. Also 1.17 Hboot flash package says incorrect cid.

I know that I'm an idiot, but can anyone of you help me please?
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
You cid will not be changed. If you want to recheck it again , just delete the PG58IMG.zip from the root of your sdcard. Then you can boot into bootloader and issue the following command

"fastboot getvar cid"

Then download the suitable firmware package as per your cid and flash it.
[HTC Sensation] 1Rus1Fantom:
I already deleted zip from sd card. I tried already with bootloader commands in adb, like fastboot getvar cid, it says waiting for the device, i have adb drivers on my PC for sure, because my desire and other sensation working fine. I seems that cid changed for sure.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
If your CID is changed , then also fastboot should work until you haven't brick your phone .
[HTC Sensation] 1Rus1Fantom:
Alright, maybe I'm doing something wrong, can you write what I can do. Which ways i have? Maybe I'm using fastboot wrong?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Remove your battery put it back in and hold power and volume down. That gets you in bootloader

If you boot in the bootloader you will see in red and white it says "fastboot USB"

In dos you go to your directory that contains fastboot and do "fastboot getvar cid"

It should give you a response.

If not. You can go into recovery and in adb do the commands "adb shell" then "su" then getprop ro.cid" it should give you the same response

If using Linux you do ./fastboot or ./adb

Sent from my Sensation in Ur-Quan subspace
[HTC Sensation] 1Rus1Fantom:
Under dos you mean comand prompt? If so comand "adb shell" giving responce "error couldn't find device"

Into recovery I should write "adb getprop ro.cid"? Or how...
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
In command prompt adb doesnt work in the bootloader. Only fastboot does.

You need to do "fastboot getvar cid" if in bootloader.

If you go into recovery you can use adb and do:

adb shell

su

getprop ro.cid

From this alone I can tell when you flashed firmware 3.24 it didn't install all the way properly.

So we have 2 routes we can do and try.

1 - Go back the Gingerbread way

2 - Go forward to ICS like it seems like you wanted to do.

Let me know what you want to do and I can get you a custom firmware to try.

You CID should still be HTC_A07. But the android-info file may be too long for you. So. We are going to shorten it (I need to break some carriers up into 2 seperate downloads but work is hectic atm and haven't had the time. Trying to get up by friday)
[HTC Sensation] 1Rus1Fantom:
Yes you got it right, i flashed 3.24 unlocked with cid HTC_A07. I prefer to go to ICS, or go back to gingerbread doesn't matter, i just want fully working device :(

Thanks for your help.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
http://db.tt/EjYujYj7

Try this one. It is made specifically for your CID.

Put on the ROOT of your SDCard like you did before and boot in bootloader and confirm.

This is 3.24 (meant for a Sense 3.6 ROM like RCMIX, Insert Coin, ARHD, Virtuous).
[HTC Sensation] 1Rus1Fantom:
Yes, it worked, flashed succesfully.what should i do next? Or i can flash any 3.24 ROM?
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Yes you can flash 3.24 or 3.25 based ICS ROMs. Remember GB is not compatible with this firmware.

Hi,

I've got my Sensation XE just yesterday.

And now I want to have the LeeDrOiD ICS-ROM like I had his ROMs on my Desire for a long time.

I have followed the guide to the letters, but when booting up 'LeeDrOiD', it gets in a kind of bootloop. The droid is showing on and off and a distorted sound is playing. It looks like the Sensation is stuttering.

Sadly I have super-CIDed and I'm not able to get the original CID. When I connect from within recovery (4EXT Touch) via USB, the 'adb shell' is successfull, but (as in the screenshot a few posts above) the 'su' is 'not found'.

I have used the PG58IMG.zip, which is stated here.

Please help.

Cheers

Dirk
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Seems something went wrong with flashing. Did you check the md5 checksum of your downloaded file?

And why do you want to change your superCID into original ?? Anyway to do this you have to boot into bootloader and issue fastboot command.

Connect your usb cable to your pc. If adb detects your phone ( type : "adb devices " in adb terminal. it will list your phone ) then type : "adb reboot bootloader" your phone should boot into bootloader and show fastboot via usb or something similar.

Then open terminal . Go to the directory where your fastboot binary is present and type ""fastboot oem writecid your-original-cid"

To confirm the operation type "fastboot getvar cid". It should return your original cid.

If you can not boot into recovery from adb terminal , do the following

1. pull out the battery.

2. wait a minute.

3. put the battery in.

4. press power + volume - together

5. you phone will boot into bootloader.

6. connect your phone to pc via usb cable.

7. select bootloader on the phone by pressing volume- key.

8. press power button

9. now your phone should show fastboot via usb or something similar.

But I will suggest just to redownload the ROM . Flash proper firmware and reflash the rom.
[HTC Sensation] dirkw01:
Hi,

YES ... I have checked the MD5 of the ROM and it's okay.

For the firmware there is no MD5 in the thread, that i mentioned.

Regarding CID:

You got me wrong. I don't want to revert from Super-CID. In the first postings of this thread is a list with firmwares, which have different CIDs. Therefore I assumed, that I need my original CID to get the correct firmware version.

So which firmware version is the right one for me?

Here are the actual infos from bootloader:

Pyramid PVT Ship S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.27.1100

Radio-11.21.3504.13_2

OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0104

eMMC-boot

Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34

Is this the correct order of flashing:

1.) firmware

2.) superwipe

3.) ROM ?

THX in advance.

Dirk
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Your order of flashing is correct. Your phone screen shows that firmware flashing is also fine. And for your information superCID allows you flash any firmware or RUU irrespective of the specified CID.

If reflashing ROM does not solve your issue , I will suggest to try a different ROM.

Some users also reported that ICS based ROM does not work with firmware V3.24 on their devices. But with firmware v3.12 they are fine.

So if a different ICS based ROM does not solve your issue , try to flash v3.12 firmware.

( the phone is working with no probs atm but just does not have the newest firmware)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Supercid causes no issues. Actually makes your life easier for flashing firmware so that isn't it.

Try revolutionary one.
