2 ways

1. Stempox thread that I linked should have it

2. http://narod.ru/disk/64787487001.bd...01.53_release_2930515ou0tuy0vbi8us83.zip.html

Download that and unzip

Unzip firmware.zip

Push radio.img via fastboot doing "fastboot flash radio radio.img"

Only hboot is new? However it's 1.27 and not 1.29, why?

Sent from the XxXSensationXxX ;)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
1.27.1100 is unlocked. 1.29.0000 isn't and adds no benefits over 1.27.1100 so never added it. Honestly think it was HTC trying to relock our phones making them harder to root after they released ICS

any solution..

Good morning guys. Does the RIL file need any update also? Im confused
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Radio and RIL don't have to match but I always did it because I figured it came with the radio for a reason (it was programmed for that radio)

I just use GetRil from the market

Sent from my Sensation in UrQuan subspace
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
In my opinion getril is a little buggy :P It told me i should use a ril named 4.0.0037(2) and not the normal 4.0.0037. After flashing the recommended one, gsm.version.ril-impl tells me that i have 4.0.0036 installed and not the 37. So i tried the not recommended 4.0.0037 without the (2) and this was the right one..

Now with the new radio it tells me that i have the 4.0.0037 installed and it doesnt match with the radio and i should install the 4.0.0013..
[HTC Sensation] :
with the new radio, it points to 4.0.0013 ril is the first on the list. probably because the application is not yet updated
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:

Can I just copy the one in the universal file and put it in the other zip file, using 7zip? or there are other things that I have to take care of?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Ok now that I am at a PC I can answer this easier :)

The patch you won't see firmware version and here is why. HBoot 1.27.xxxx has been around for a few versions. 3.30 - 3.33 to be specific. So 3.32 and 3.33 both use it there for I couldn't hex edit it to define what version people are running. (Aka imagine you were on 3.32 and flashed the patch and suddenly it said 3.33. That is going to generate a LOT of un-needed questions)

The only difference between the universal and the patch is universal is hex edited.

To answer your question I just use the windows built in zip. Double click it and delete out the hboot I dont want. Back out of the zip and drag and drop the hboot I do want into it. :) (Can do with 7zip too I done that way but I like drag and drop more cause it is quicker for me)
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
Got it. I though for an instance that the hboot could pick up what firmware I was using. But now I understand that you edited each hboot for each firmware so It match the version and people can recall what they flashed. Nice idea.

You can still flash ROMS with 1.29 locked.

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Are you s-off?

If so,you should add it to your signature.

Updating firmware is only possible if you are s-off.

Going from 1.27 to 1.29 is basically only a radio upgrade.

It seems you are already on one of the latest radios.

There is only one newer one (11.29A)

There is no need to change anything unless you have a poor signal.

So what is the point of going to HBOOT Ver. 1.29...?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

There is no point in going to 1.29 :eek:

What ROM are you on?

There is a newer radio if you want,or if you are having signal problems where you are.

My first suggestion would be to go to the market and get an app called "GetRil".

It will tell you if there are any improvements you can make.

There is no point changing things for the sake of it.

Changing firmware and radios is one of the few things that can brick your phone.

3.33 fw help!

Hey Guys:

I flashed the Universal Version of 3.33 on my Sensation with S-OFF and I am noticing that I am having some signal issues now: I used to have full bars in several locations including my house and now I am only getting 1-2. Originally, I had a version of 3.33 before, that I got (from where I do not remember because I don't think it was from this thread) and I flashed it and my signal was awesome as always. Today, I saw that the universal version of 3.33 was available and flashed that, then I saw that the Hboot version could be updated also and ran the patch to update to Hboot v1.29. I then was advised that its basically pointless to upgrade the Hboot version, so I ran the patch the downgrades it back to v1.27. After this malybru advised me to download and install GetRIL and run it. GetRIL indicated that the RIL/baseband did not match and to download the correct one, which I did. Now I am noticing the signal issues.

I cannot isolate if it is the version of 3.33 that I flashed or if it is the RIL. I've also been reading about how there are different RILs for different regions: I am with TMOUS and wondering if anyone can recommend what RIL or patch or version of 3.33 to flash to be able to have my full signal again? I do know from what research I have done that RILs are not really uninstallable and each ROM that is loaded includes one...(correct me if I am wrong).

ANY help would be appreciated!
[HTC Sensation] hedifezai:
The guy who made these firmwares has just hex edited the files one by one to show the firmware number instead of revolutonnary just for us to know which fw we are. He has changed nothing else. It is said more pages back. Peronnaly have noticed no difference in signal strenth between the first version without the number and the second one.
[HTC Sensation] pixule:
hello. My Sensation has hboo 1.29, supercid, unlocked bootloader, S-OFF. When i use Getril for matching the Ril version, it says to me that is extracted from 3.32 firmware. I followed the steps from OP, flashed 3.33 firmware from fastboot ( twice), and getril is saying the same thing..: ril extracted from 3.32 firmware. wtf? tks for any ideea.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

The best radio is the one that works.

If there is no problem,then,it is best to leave well alone.

Having the latest of everything is not always having the best.

As you say ,each ROM comes with it's own RIL.

You may be able to just re-install the ROM without wipe.

You will not lose data or settings.

Or you could downgrade to 3.32 and start again.(Also re-install the ROM)

Or you could update just the radio to the latest,for which I gave you a link .

Or stay where you are,and install ARHD ROM.

This has a special TMous add-on which has helped many people(Look in the first post)

Good luck.

Radios...RILs....and THRILLS

malybru: The lastest radio being 11.29A right? This is what is loaded on my phone right now, seems to be the latest right? Also, I was reading that GetRIL needs an update on the author's end to recognize the 76C radio version, and that it will keep saying the RILs do not match but indeed the version and RIL I loaded are the latest. Also look at the screenshot I attached here of the thread for [RADIO][RIL][July 2 2012] Sensation Radio/RIL files: A user in Norther California swore by which radio versions and RIL he installed and another user posts that GetRIL is messed up too.....

noob need help here. i was on Tmo and did the JB guide to S-Off. then i had some issues running CM10.1 where data network didn't work. so i had found this thread and updated the HBoot to the following:

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT 1.29.0000

now the CM10.1 still doesn't work. is there anyway to revert back to my original TMo rom with ICS?
[HTC Sensation] mariosaraylian:
cthsuks:

The ICS update for the Sensation from TMOUS was over the air (OTA) but coming from a GB. If you go to Settings>About Phone>Software Update it should have detected and installed the OTA ICS update by itself. I am not sure what you mean by the JB S-OFF'ing you did. Unlocking it has nothing to do with JB or any ROM really. It is its own process. You don't need data to do that, just WIFI. If you are not able to replicate what I said after you tried the unlocking, then you need to download and run the update manually. I have it but the problem is having to upload it as it is a large file, then you have to download it. If you search the threads for the Sensation there might be a link to download it already. If not, then just Private Message me and I can help you unlock it and upgrade it to ICS also.

[Q] Proper firmware flashing

I am currently running CM10.1, albino's 16-Feb build. Using

firmware 3.32,

radio 11.23,

ril 4.0.0024HMQ,

hboot 1.27.1100.

S-Off but not superCID (I usually just edit the text files when flashing firmware/radio).

Everything's been working fine but I wanted to try the more recent firmware to see if there are any positive changes. I flashed 3.33 and end up in a boot loop.

Do I need to do a fresh install of ROM after firmware flash or should I be able to run my current, just flash, and continue using? If the latter, what should I do to ensure I don't boot loop? I've tried flashing 3.33 a few times and wiped caches even. My only other consideration was wipe all partitions except SD, flash firmware, and then flash recovery backup but I don't know if that'll just undo the firmware, radio/ril flashes.

Also, would I need the most recent firmware if I wanted to just flash a different radio/ril? I see many suggestions to use 11.29A radio and 4.0.0037HMQ ril. Does it matter if I'm on 3.32 firmware and flash those? If not, then maybe I can avoid the firmware flash since I can't avoid the boot loop.

Thanks for your assistance xda community.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

What does your bootloader actually say at the moment?

There is no reason why the firmware update did not work.

Flashing a nandroid backup will not undo a firmware update.

You can flash the newer radio (11.29A) directly over the top of a firmware update. ( Look HERE )

:)
[HTC Sensation] dLeTe:
Bootloader info

Thanks for such a prompt response. My bootloader says the following:

-Revolutionary-

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT - 1.27.1100

RADIO - 11.23.3504.08_M2

OpenADSP - v02.6.0.2226.00.0131

eMMC-boot

Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34

The 3.33 firmware will flash just fine. If I enter bootloader afterwards, it will say "3.33 firmware" instead of "-Revolutionary-". And the radio information will be updated. My ROM just won't start after the firmware flash. Just boot loops at the boot animation.

I would have to re-flash 3.32 firmware if I want to get my ROM to start again.

I figured I can flash new radio/ril over 3.32. I was just concerned if it would make any difference whether I had 3.33 or 3.32 instead.

Thank you again for your prompt response!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

In Settings>about phone>software information>more>baseband version,what does it say?

baseband

Baseband in settings:

11.72.3504.00U_11.23.3504.08_M2
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

You see the 11.23 part.

That means the radio has not updated.

It should read 11.24A.

There is also a higher version of 11.29A

@ dLeTe:

Try flashing the 3.32 version of the firmware and see if your radio updates.

:)
[HTC Sensation] bobatomix:
Just thanks!
[HTC Sensation] dLeTe:
ok. I was able to update to 3.33 firmware.

I wiped all partitions, flashed 3.33 firmware, then I restored from a nandroid backup since you said things should be fine.

It booted perfectly.

I decided to update my radio and ril as well.

I flashed radio 11.76C.3504.00P_11.29A.3504.18_M and everything started and connected fine.

But when I flashed ril HTC-RIL_4.0.0037HMQ.zip, my data would not connect afterwards. Does it matter if my radio and ril don't match?

I have ril version: HTC-RIL 4.0.0024HMQ. This with the firmware 3.33 and radio 11.76C.3504.00P_11.29A.3504.18_M connect fine.

I know the radio/ril thread says it doesn't really matter. I can leave it at that then i guess.

Thank you again for your help!

And regarding the baseband in settings. The baseband I listed for you was what i had from the 3.32 firmware so, yes, it was an older one. I was not able to boot into the ROM because of boot loop to find the new baseband. But, like I said, 3.33 flashed fine. It just won't boot into my ROM. If I go into bootloader right after flashing 3.33 it will say radio: 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M. So it did update but just boot looped.

I have seen been able to progress beyond that. Just stuck with the radio/ril and no data connection. I can live with a mismatched Radio and Ril though.

Thank you again for your help.
