Hi there,

I'm going to flash up to the latest ARHD 6.3.0 XE ROM, When I flashed up to 6.2.1 XE I had to use the Sensation Superwipe, I know this may sound odd but... as my phone is now essentially a Sensation XE, can I still use that Superwipe (The Sensation one) or do I need a Superwipe for Sensation XE?

Cheers,

T-L-H

Hi there,

I wanted to Flash the new ARHD 6.3.0. XE ROM onto my phone from 6.2.1. XE

I've been working through these steps.

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!!!

I'm on step #9 at the moment, I Flashed the ROM onto the phone, then while in EXT4 I chose the option to Reboot into HBOOT, went to Bootloader and then went to Fastboot, it searched for the PG58IMG.zip and I got a message that says:

CID Incorrect!

Update Fail!

Press (POWER) to reboot.

-----

What shall I do from here? If I reboot won't my phone get messed up? Don't I need to upgrade? :s

HELP!

BTW the PG58IMG.zip I'm using is this one: firmware 3.30.401.1 & 3.30.401.101.

From here: http://xdaforums.com/show...ostcount=54602

My is HBOOT - 1.27.1100
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
You have to download the correct PG58IMG.zip which has your CID & MID.

What is your CID and MID??

To know your CID and MID ,

boot your phone into fastboot mode. Connect it to PC . ( you must have adb/fastboot setup on pc)

In fastboot terminal type

" fastboot getvar cid" for CID and

"fastboot getvar mid" for MID.

Or open terminal on phone and type

"getprop ro.cid " for CID and

"getprop ro.mid " for MID
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
From the bootloader using fastboot do

fastboot getvar cid

It will return a value. Take that value and match it in post 2 and download that 3.30 in post 2.

It just means the android-info file from the firmware you downloaded is missing your cid number

Sent from my Sensation in Ur-Quan subspace
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
Thanks for that guys, So I can just reboot my phone from the screen that's saying;

CID Incorrect!

Update Fail!

Press (POWER) to Reboot.

Can I use CIDgetter to find out my CID and MID?

I dont have adb/fastboot setup on pc. Is that a problem?
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
No, fastboot is not mandatory .

First , you delete the PG58IMG.zip from the sdcard root.

Your phone will now boot. Then open the terminal app.

and type:

"getprop ro.cid " for CID and

"getprop ro.mid " for MID
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
Ok great. What terminal app?

So I can restart my phone ok from where it is now and nothing bad will happen?

I need to plug my phone into the pc to wipe the file from the SD Card.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Any terminal app.

It should still boot on 3.24 since 3.30 uses the same hboot.

Nothing bad will happen :)

Just pull the battery and let the phone boot normally and delete when it boots up

Sent from my Sensation in Ur-Quan subspace
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
Ok, I've just pulled out the battery, I'll pop it back in and restart the phone normally, then I'll remove the PG58IMG.zip and try to find the correct one.

As for terminal app, will this do?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.linxmap.androidterminal&hl=en

Or can I just use the app CIDgetter?

Once I've found the correct firmware can I just place the PG58IMG.zip in Root and then go to Fastboot and continue from step 9 in the walktrough? Or will I have to do everything again from scratch?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Can use cid getter. That'll work too. And nope just do step 9 on. No need to reflash all. (also that terminal app is fine :))

Sent from my Sensation in Ur-Quan subspace
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
Ok cool, I've turned it on, the phone wants me to go through the whole set-up process again >.<'

I guess I'll have to do it if I need to use CID Getter.

So if the phone is working now as it is why do I need to use the new firmware?

Or is it that the new ROM wont work until I update the firmware?

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

Okay, I've installed CID Getter,

My CID is: H3G_001

MID is: PG5813000

So now I need to find the correct PG581IMG.zip file, place that in root and then carry on from Fastboot then Update etc...

---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

Would this be the file I need?

DOWNLOAD 3.30 Unlocked: http://goo.gl/DBJVP

MD5: 14af76af0c99ce7b65873beb9941d113
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Correct on the file.

And really it just has some minor updates (bug fixes) and a newer radio. You don't have to update but I just did it as I figured they fixed some errors.

Sent from my Sensation in Ur-Quan subspace
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
Ah cool, well I turned the phone on into HBOOT, it asked me to update so I said yes. Then it asked me to Reboot after it had said update complete, so I guess that's it then?

Is there any way to check to see if it worked fully?

So now I need to redownload all my apps from the market, I think it did this automatically last time... then set up my screens as I'd like etc...

I didn't bother with a titanium backup so I'll have lost saves etc... but I'm not worried about that.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Yup you are done :D

Go to menu settings about software more

See if your radio matches mine aand check baseband (should say 3.30)

Market should redownload them. Check my apps in market and see if downloading in the background

Sent from my Sensation in Ur-Quan subspace
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
Cool, I'll check that.

Erm, nothing's downloading in the background and in 'My apps' it's only showing a few of the apps I had installed before I flashed the ROM. Nothings auto downloading either, thats a pain!

I should've used titanuin Backup lol, oh well I'll just have to reinstall them from My library on the Android Market
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
Hi all,

My apologies for this, i think i'm on the right track, i've checked my CID and it's HTC_001 i've ran the rev tool and s-offed, but i flashed the firmware for insert coins new rom and now i can't boot

(basically i didn't back up any contacts and now i can't get into the phone to do so)

So if i flash the firmware for HTC 001, will everything be all good and i will be able to get back into the phone?

Many thanks and sorry for asking obvious questions i just wanted some clarification, it's not my sensation this time :)

Is it the bottom one out of these four?

Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
If you're wanting to use a GB rom then flash 1.17 or 3.12. If you flash 1.17 you will also need to flash a suitable GB radio. Whether you can access your data will depend on whether or not you did a wipe.
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
Thanks m8, your a superstar, the rom which is on there at the moment is stock, will that still work do you think? It is gingerbread, i've not flashed any custom rom's yet at all.

It's an english phone and it's not branded.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
I'd try the 1.17 and reflash the radio.
[HTC Sensation] dlads:
will i have to reflash the radio? i literally just have to get into the phone.

Sorry for all the questions m8, i know that these things can have drastic consequences if done wrong.

Ahh jesus, it worked, ur a f****ng diamond, thank you so much.

:):):):):):):):):):):):):)
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
you flash the radio after your Firmware 1.17 flash successfully and you got a working GB rom

usually flashing radio is through bootloader ( PG58IMG.zip ) , or through fastboot ( read the installation instructions )

download the Suitable GB Radio

if it the fastboot type , make a copy of the zip , open it , read the installation instructions

if it is PG58IMG.zip, then flash it as you flash updates from the bootloader ( boot into bootloader , the file will be detected automatically )
[HTC Sensation] stonew5082:
I keep losing data/mobile network randomly and have to reboot to get it back. I have the same firmware as kohr-ah. Tried 2 different ics roms. Any thoughts?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Try reflashing the firmware again that way it overwrites the radio and such again. See if that fixes it.

[HTC Sensation] Razpr:
Hi guys. Im a newbie here. Im ashamed to say this but i really dont know how to get my CID and MID (even though im trying to follow the first post as best as i can).

I posted these in cmd on my computer but all i get is that the command is not recognized:

fastboot getvar cid

fastboot getvar mid

I then tried and downloaded CID getter on the market, and all i get at the top of the app is: "[CID is ]: [T-MOB010].

I assumed that the file i had to download was on the second post under TMOBILE 3.30 unlocked (im on 3.24 right now using VI 3.0.0), i flashed it and i tried installing HyperNonSense ICS v0.8 which made my phone go on constant quick bootloops every 5 seconds as soon as the loading screen appeared then it was right back to the white HTC screen. I was afraid i had bricked it but someone on Q &A told me to flash the old PG58IMG zip and im back on VI 3.0.0 with 3.24

How do i know if i have CID or not... and which file do i have to download. i cant really follow the guide in the first post because there are some steps that are obvious to some of you out there but not to me (im a noob). for example : fastboot getvar cid

fastboot getvar mid which clearly didnt get me any results. THANKS!
[HTC Sensation] stonew5082:
actually I flashed 3.24 over my 3.3 but its still happening. It's happened on 2 roms so far so I'm baffled. maybe some app is causing it I don't know. have to do more testing I guess.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
To know your CID and MID , you have two options.

A. On your phone :

1. Install a terminal app.

2. Open terminal .

3. Type fastboot getvar cid

This will show your CID.

4. Type fastboot getvar mid

This will show your MID.

B. On your PC :

For this you must have adb / fastboot setaup and you should know some basics of adb and fastboot. Go through this guide (windows pc ) or this guide (Linux Desktop) to install fastboot and adb on your pc.

Once you are done with adb and fastboot connect your phone to pc.

Open cmd prompt or terminal on pc.

cd to platform-tools folder.

Type: adb devices

This will list your phone if adb driver installation is ok.

Then type : adb reboot bootloader

Your phone will boot into fastboot.

Now type : fastboot getvar cid

This will show your CID.

Type : fastboot getvar MID

This will show your MID.

Once you know your CID and MID , go to the correct section of this thread on the first post. By "correct section " I mean the para which tells about your CID and MID. Then download the PG58IMG.zip from that particular section .

If you don't want all this command stuff , then make your phone SuperCID by following Revolutionary S-OFF Guide.

Once you are super CID , you can flash any PG58IMG.zip irrespective of your CID and MID.

3.30 wont take for me? I've downloaded it and installed it multiple times however im still on 3.24; no idea whats wrong :S

A quick solution will be appreciated xD, I'm already downloading a GB rom

EDIT: PS I own a sensation xe
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
R you S-OFF ?? If you are not S-OFF , you can not flash firmware this way.

If you are S-OFF and getting this error , then check the integrity of the PG58IMG.zip by verifying the md5 check sum. The zip may be corrupted.
[HTC Sensation] AayushDhuria:
Yup, I unlocked bootloader by using method at htcdev.com suggested by PG101 !

And i think the same, it may be corrupted

downloading other fw and changing cid in it, and i've already rooted n installed latest cwm ! :)
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
You will not see any noticeable change from v3.24 to v3.30 . Just check the radio version.

It should be 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M

The highlighted part will be shown in bootloader. If you can see this then you are on v3.30..

Okay so my sisters sensation would freeze up every time she got calls from certain people so I told her to let me root it. Since this is something I have done many times before I didn't think I would have any problems, but I do.

I can only boot into bootloader and then recovery. I can flash ROMs, restore, and do anything else you do in recovery, except afterwords when I choose reboot the phone just turns off and nothing happens and I can't boot into recovery for several minutes (during these minutes the phone has to be charging).

I've tried the steps in the OP a few times with no luck. Can someone please help?
[HTC Sensation] Abaddon:
my phone is stuck at HTC screen after this. what should I do? :D
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Remove the sdcard and connect to pc with a sdcard reader. Delete the PG58IMG.zip from the sdcard. Reinsert the sdcard in phone. This should fix the problem.

If the problem persists, then you might not be running ICS ROM. With the latest firmware you must use ICS rom ..

Running coredroid 4.2 which is version ics 4.0.3, sense 3.6, I have hboot 1.27.

When in 3.30

Cf benchmark scores of 7584

Speedtest.net of 8600 kbps download and 3560 kbps upload.

When in 3.32

Cf benchmark scores of 7500

Speedtest.net of 3000kbps download and 760 kbps upload

The cf benchmark is clear to see pretty good and I am still happy with that, but speedtest is taking a long time to ping (170-560 ms) and my signal is pretty much 3G since, when in 3.30 was having most if the time "H".

Any advice my friend?

[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Sounds like the radio.

Could be one of two reasons. The rom doesn't have matching RILs for the new radio or new radio is worse for you.

So. Can always reflash the old radio or wait for dev to update rom to new base so rils match and see of any better

I'm thinking now that the command in the linked post actually just reports ROM (or base?) build description without citing firmware release number.

Here's the command, FWIW:

adb getprop ro.build.description

3.30.401.1 CL291042 release-keys

Maybe a dev can advise.

Hi

At first thanks! Can it be that you did a mistake on your first post. There is written

"Firmwares that I have posted:

3.36 Unlocked is the latest/stable release ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)"

But its 3.32 in the Post below where the download are. ;)
[HTC Sensation] avon76:
i flash new 3.32 ,but it's stay and showing3.30401.101

Why?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Becasue 3.30.401.101 is the rom base. You would need to flash a 3.32 based rom for that to change.
[HTC Sensation] avon76:
And after that put custom rom?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Custom or stock, depending on your preferences (as long as the rom you are flashing will work on the new firmware version)

Flashing a custom rom would display whatever base the custom rom is using. The info you see in Settings/About Phone gives the base of the rom and does not display the firmware version. So if you have firmware 3.32 but flash a 3.30 base rom, the info will display 3.30.

super cid can choose any package ( 3.32 ) of them and it will work

in first page there are 3 ways to get your cid ( 8 letters ),

you can use CID Getter from market then

fastboot load into the bootloader and do:

fastboot getvar cid

fastboot getvar mid

choose the package according to the cid if you like to . But basically any package ( 3.32 ) will work for you

Hi, I have a Orange Stock ROM 1.50.75.1 (Android 2.3.4)

I have s-off, de-brand, ROOT AND CWR, but NO SUPERCID.

I i flash superwipe and this file, following the instructions i will hace ICS on my phone, because my doubt is: the PG58IMG.zip is 14MB, that is ICS ???

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
There's a limit on the number of lines read in the android-info.txt file and so in order to cater for all cid versions there are different versions to flash. You only need to flash one - the one that matches your device cid, unless you are Supercid, in which case you can use any one of the files.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

No, it's only the firmware which then allows you to flash an ICS rom.
