Hi im sry if this was asked before I could not find anything... Is the latest firmware compatible to a 4.0.4 Rom?

And what is the firmware exactly, because I was looking for a new radio and ril. Is this in the firmware or do I have to update that too... I have seen problems with your phone. I think it has something to do with the Rom (orDroid 8.5.2) my battery is dieing fking fast and gets very hot when i charge it and use the phone at the same time... I tried different kernels but nothing worked...

Sry for the n00b questions... And thx in advance
[HTC Sensation] jspina:
any 3.32 firmware is compatible with any 4.0.x roms.

The firmware includes a couple of things as well as the radio but NOT rils. Rils have to be installed into a ROM by you or the developer of that rom and does not/ can not be installed through the firmware.

the reason your phone is dying fast can be rom related but also could be a million other things. try a sense 3.6 rom as those are going to be the best as far a battery life goes.

The reason your battery gets hot when you charge it is because your battery is charging and will get hot just from that, and when you add you phones cpu running fast at the same time it ends up in an even hotter phone. try running your phones cpu at about 800mhz or 1ghz and not over clock it while it is charging.

ok. Impressive I must say!

I was just wondering that because I wasnt sure if the 3.12 hboot was compatible with the 3.32 everything else.
[HTC Sensation] donky kong 017:
thx for your help and quick reply. i will try the latest firmware. i had a 3.6 rom but i love the sense 4 features (haven't found a 3.6 rom with at least those sense 4 features i like. i just want the whole package) i thought about a new rom too, mine started to get buggy (strange cause in the beginning there where not that much bugs)

for the bat: i thought about that too, but why does it get that hot when it did not before? i tried many things, but im too much of a noob for all the frequency and cpu stuff from the system tuner app. is there a way to set the cpu frequency down just when it is charging?

BTW i have my freq at 1.18 GHz max and 192 MHz min. :cool:
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
So far it has worked. I noticed this work around when we originally went from 3.12 to 3.24. Lots of people were having issues and this thread hadn't even existed yet. So learned that updating the partition structure but keeping old hboot seemed to work.

Honestly. No idea why some phones won't use the new hboot but they don't. I haven't had anyone test using a RUU to go to stock ICS though and then see if it gives issues. Eh. Maybe try that soon :-P

hi

i have a sensation xe,s-0ff and andoid 2.3 rom and i flashed a wrong 3.32 Unlocked file.

and it goen to bootlooping..

then i flashed the Firmware 3.32 Universal (Non-TMOUS) , and the firmware were installed currecty.

then i flashe ordroid 9 for android and sense 4.

now i stuck in the withe screen with the htc logo.

tryed re-flashing the rom - same thing.

what to do?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Try flashing it again (firmware ) and then clear dalvik and cache in recovery.

TMOUS and non TMOUS is the exact same minus radio and tower related files. Partitions hboot etc are exact. MD5s even match

[HTC Sensation] jspina:
Yes that is weird. Well if it works then I am very glad that I rooted and didn't just update otherwise I could have run into this problem without a way out.

I was running the ota deodexed version for a while with the same problem if that's what you were talking about.

Thanks for all! Wish you the best of luck with everything!

Edit

It doesn't seem as if I have the same problem as everyone else. My sensation reboots throughout the day. It doesn't just go into a boot loop when I install the firmware. Does that matter?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Shouldn't reboot through the day either.

[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Seeing as there is no partition restructuring files and hboot 1.29 runs the same ICS as 1.27 I'd say he is absolutely correct. There isn't a need unless you wanted to extract the radio file out and flash it manually.
[HTC Sensation] TheCornInGrove:
So no benefits of new firmware (allrdy flashed new radio)?
[HTC Sensation] kekkojoker90:
at this time this is useless ?

---------- Post added at 05:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 PM ----------

new radio and new ril get some signal improvments in italy (is europe ota)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
To break it down

adsp = Advanced Digital Signal Processor. (No changes. Just part of package)

hboot 1.29 = will lose use of fastboot commands and such. Isn't needed

rcdata = Radio Config Data. May be of use if you live in italy but nothing 100% necessary

tz.img = Trust zones. No need to flash these either atm

I'd say at this time is useless as it is just a minor update. At least for firmware. I am sure it has fixes that DEV's can use for ROMs.

mmmm.. stupid question

what's the difference from 3.12 to 3.32?

i have huge overheading with 3.32 version, for ex, with wi-fi on, and with normal using, with 3.32 i have overheading, with 3.12, not.. why? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

3.32 is the firmware you NEED to run ICS.

3.12 can still run GB

Are you saying that you had overheating with ICS but not with GB?

:)
[HTC Sensation] Tabtoub:
No he is talking about 3.12 fw with ICS, it works and I tested it with sense 4 rom (ordroid) and that reduced overheating. (credits to a guy that mentioned this before but no one believed him..)
[HTC Sensation] iba21:
no, i'm saying i'm using the 3.12 with ICS sense4 (and sense 3.6 too)

:D

don't know why but, with 3.32, my maxtemp of the cpu is about 56°C

with the 3.12, 52°C

the same rom, the same stress test

so, :confused:

p.s. the 1.17 is for GB

it' strange but, with normally use, with 3.12 i don't have overheating, my hand feels a normally temperatured phone.. with 3.32 and normal use, my hand feels an hotter phone

i see, when cpu reach 55°C, phone became warm (with hspa too, but, all knows hspa is a wood stove)

i tryed many times to change with the 3.32, use the phone for 5 minutes, feels the warm back cover, and change to 3.12

I am sticking with 3.32 TMOUS for now but will try the new radio and rils that mf2112 posted.

[HTC Sensation] corumuk:
Posted this already in the cm9 thread but thought it might be useful here too for info.

Currently using cm9rc1, gapps, and bricked 1.31.

Went ahead and flashed it (firmware 3.33).

After rebooting got an endless cm loading animation and had to

a. remove microsd card and delete pgmxxxx.zip (or whatever its called), in order to get into recovery.

b. boot in recovery and format all partitions except sdcard

c. reflash the rom and addons

working fine after that though, signal seems as strong as ever.

4ext grumbled about not being able to access the cache when i first went into recovery so might have just needed to flush that rather than reflash the whole rom.
[HTC Sensation] spuri78:
quick question mate - I got the 4ext error as well after I flashed 3.33 - It got stuck at Sensation screen and then it rebooted back into the rom I had flashed but the thing is that it's coming up with the message every time I flash a rom. Are you repeatedly getting the error every time you flash a rom as well?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] corumuk:
I just rebooted into recovery and there was no further error message in 4ext so it looks like it's fixed this end.

Just noticed that I didn't mention doing a 'format all partitions except sd card' before reflashing cm9, will insert into previous post. The full text of the error message i got in 4ext did say something like 'cannot access cache partition, if you have flashed hboot then format all partitions except sd card and restart recovery'. That said, my understanding was that the new firmware doesn't change hboot, mines certainly still at 1.27, although the radio version has been updated.

Hey!

I've tried to flash the 3.33 , but the HBoot version show me still 1.27.1100...

Hboot 1.29 isn't unlocked and if you flash it you will lose ability to use fastboot. That is why firmware 3.33 use hboot 1.27.1100.

Maybe you got me wrong so - firmware 3.33 from the second post of this thread uses 1.27.1100 so you can flash it with no doubt. Only official firmware 3.33 form latest OTA released by HTC uses 1.29.xxxx which is currently locked.

You can obtain firmware version using adb command:

adb shell getprop ro.product.version

There is two different packages for 3.33. ICS_LE had 1.29

However ICS (no LE) had 1.27.0000 in it. Besides that they were the exact same package.

[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
After I updated to the 3.33 TMOUS firmware, just as this thread was brought up, I no longer have a steady wifi connection and it keeps freezing. I downgraded my firmware version back to 3.32 TMOUS, matched the 11.69 radio with the proper RIL and I'm STILL having the same problem with wifi. I've reverted back to several different "stable" roms that I keep and no matter what, wifi is broken. I've even tried several different kernels and it's still broken. I've tried the wifi fix app and it didn't help. What's going on here? Did upgrading to the 3.33 firmware permanently screw up the wifi on the phone because it's not working like it used to no matter what rom/kernel/firmware/radio/RIL combo I try anymore. Even trying Brick'ed 1.36 kernel, it STILL froze up the wifi after every few minutes. WTF???
[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
I installed 3.33 universal it last night. I am running ARHD 1.2.0, Faux Kernel on TMO US in NY and I am getting much better wifi and 4g connectivity than with the radio that was mentioned in the ARHD thread that is specific for improving connectivity for TMO users.

On a side note. I think the OS seems to be a little bit snapper and my bluetooth doesn't generate the same amount of static it did before when i stream music in my car.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Interesting. Even though the HBOOT is unlocked and can support those commands if you used JB Boot the Revolutionary Unlocked HBOOT it breaks that ability? [I am just curious of what that may be for personal knowledge]

I can remove the hboot file tomorrow. That is no problem. I don't have the firmware files with me at home but I can fix it tomorrow morning at work.
[HTC Sensation] Saml01:
I am wrong, now that I think about it I didn't actually see it say LOCKED nor did I try fastboot commands after the flash. I just assumed that since it installed revolutionary it had defaulted back to a factory HBOOT. But revolutionary isn't the stock Hboot duh. That's what you get for fooling around with your phone after a glass of scotch in the middle of the night.

I apologize for the confusion. I will change my previous post.
