Thats not a problem. The issue you are facing I think due to patched HBOOT 1.27.1100

Just flash V3.12 firmware or flash the untouched HBOOT 1.27.000 above V3.32 firmware. or

Download 3.12. Double click it.delete all but hboot and android-info and flash it over V3.32 firmware.

I just flashed the patch and it is still stuck on the bootloop.

[HTC Sensation] dkline:
I'm coming from HTC desire so new to this.Just bought second hand sensation.It is S-Off and running tripNdroid cyan mod.I want to flash one of the newer sense roms.Used terminal emulator to check cid,mid.It returns

cid VODAP102

mid PG5813000

Phone is a telstra 710a,would this indicate it's supercid already or previous owner flashed a VODA firmware.Little confused.

Any help greatly appreciated:)
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
the main way to see if it is supercid is using fastboot and checking via the bootloader.

If it was it will return CID: 11111111 and MID: PG58*****

But you can still just download the firmware you need from POST 2 just match that CID and MID to the ones listed and download the appropriate one. How to flash it is on Post #1
[HTC Sensation] linkin_p:
im sorry is this really work on sensation xe???

i wonder if this is work with s-on unlocked bootloader for sensation xe.
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
yes , Note that any custom Rom works for any of ( sensation , sensation 4G , and sensation XE )

i don't recommend you to install ICS Rom on an S-ON device ( using htc dev unlocked bootloader ) , because you

may not

be able to use Revolutionary to S-OFF your device later on
[HTC Sensation] linkin_p:
ok but i dont know why whenever i try to use the pg58xx.zip

it doesnt do anything after checking the pg58xx.zip nothing happened and phone goes to bootloader

i think this is really need an s-off device.

and by the way im installed a custom rom with my unlocked bootloader and because of that i cant use revolutionary every time it say failed to get root press almost any key to exit.

any suggestion?

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:14 AM ----------

ok i just read your threat for downgrade and s-off and figured out that revolutionary doesnt work with 2.3.5 rom going to download an 2.3.3 rom,

correct me if im wrong ^_^
[HTC Sensation] carlowise:
ok guys please respond on my q

why the firmware should be flashed after rom?(by this procedure on first post)

can I flash the firmw. and then flash or reflash other roms. and when newest firmware became avilable can I flash it and leave the rom as it is?

tnx
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
I have it listed that way because most people who do it from their phone, if they flash firmware first they need to go into bootloader to get into recovery.

So they see do you want to update? Over and over and over.

If you do the rom first then tell it to reboot into bootloader you don't have to deal with that is all.

It doesn't matter the order it is done in.

what i suggest for you , is :

do nand backup

you need first to downgrade

lock your bootloader after downgrade

Do Revolutionary S-OFF according to the precautions in the Guide

do nand backup again better

then install custom Rom you like

or if you prefer Original software , you can use mike1986

rooted

OTA that includes

unlocked

boot;oader ( it is not the official OTA with the locked bootloader )

i don't know if htc dev method will allow you to flash firmware ! , because it does not unlock all bootloader options ( only some of them ) , for example the firmware includes a Radio and htc dev method may not unlock radio flashing

for more information about htc dev method ( how it works ) , go to the link in my signature " Solve wifi errors

i don't think flashing ICS Rom while S-ON is a good idea , because it

may

prevent S-OFF in the future !! ,and then you will be stuck until Revolutionary supports the new bootloader ( and this may or may not happen ) , so better to S-off first
[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
Guys i have a question, i did supercid at the time of making my sensation s-off, but today when i checked the cid sum with cid checker app, it's showing me "HTC_044", so do i have to supercid again? how did it changed automically from 11111111 to HTC_044? please help me out..
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Cidchecker shows the original cid. Use fastboot and it will say 11111111 still ^_^

Sent from my Sensation in Ur-Quan subspace
[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
Thanx kohr for the response :) a user named Eddy also told me that cidchecker shows original cid, but you recomended terminal emulator app aswell to check it, it's also showing htc_044, when i 1st supercid my phone, i verified it with adb 7 months ago, i don't have pc access since i rooted and supercid my phone.
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Yeah I have to find a way to list how to see supercid without fastboot. A lot of people don't know how or aren't comfortable with using it so I had to list multiple ways :)

Sent from my Sensation in Ur-Quan subspace
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
I think getting CID from build.prop will not tell the actual CID for all although for me it shows the correct CID from terminal as well as fastboot . If anybody can through some more light on this?
[HTC Sensation] Alipk52:
Anyways more important for me is i know i am still supercid :D coz i think it can't change automatically or unless we use Adb or anything like that to do so, but yeah it is necessary for Android app to show the correct/current Cidsum in use for each and every phone :)
[HTC Sensation] jerrymneal:
Thank you for helping me download the correct firmware

Thought I bricked my phone, tried to upgrade to ics with firmware

my phone bootloop

thanks again
[HTC Sensation] Naimand:
Apologies if this has been posted before, but I just got this phone today and was wondering if you need to flash the firmware update before every rom flash or will one time suffice if you are going to the same ICS base? Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Hi,

your question can only be answered when you will give us the complete details of your present bootloader screen.

To boot into bootloader,

1. Go to power setting .

2. Uncheck fastboot.

3. Shutdown your phone.

4. Press Power + Volume Down key together.

5. Your phone will boot into bootloader.
[HTC Sensation] Naimand:
Yeah, sorry about that. My HBOOT is 1.27.1100 with revloutionary s-off radio is 11.22.3504.07_m
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
If you have planed to be on ICS , then you are already with latest firmware and ready to go. There is no need to upgrade the firmware.

If you plan for GB , then you have to downgrade the firmware to V1.17 or V3.12 . But I will suggest to use V1.17 for gingerbread based rom .
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
yes , one time is sufficient if you are going to the same ICS base ( different Rom with the same Base )

only change firmware if the base is different and requires a different firmware by the developer

one members reported running ARHD 6.3.1 ( requires firmware 3.30 ) on the latest firmware 3.32 , i am not sure of what he posted so check this out , if you are interested
[HTC Sensation] dubwise79:
sorry people i had a problem with my friend's sensation !

it is in bootloop now ...i upgrade to 3.32 but the phone was not rooted ,only s-off

and cwm ,and now i cant flash any zip files ...

How can i resolve ? only doing a downgrade ? or can i put the OTA_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5-1.50.401.1 in a sd card and flash it?

pls help i am in panic for my friend phone :(
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
the bootloop is because of two things

you didn't install the ICS custom Rom , and the device when tries to boot up don't find an ICS Rom to boot from it , so it reboots again

the is still on your SD Card , so every time when you go to bootloader it will try to install it again , and will not let you go to recovery

after you are sure that firmware is installed successfully ( every line says OK during installation ) , do the following

Solution is first remove firmware zip ( PG58IMG.zip ) from SD Card ( through laptop SD adapter ) , or for alternatives to do that go here 1643 or 1642 , or here User Friendly Firmware Upgrade

then boot into bootloader then to recovery then super wipe then install ICS Custom rom ,

Guide for flashing ICS Roms and Firmware is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472298 or User Friendly Firmware Upgrade

Both are excellent Guides , Basic difference is the first Guide flashes the Firmware first and the second guide flashes the ICS Rom first ,, i personally used the second guide User Friendly Firmware Upgrade

[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
I am getting a new sensation tomorrow. My last one died completly not even getting a charging light when switched off :(

Obviously when it arrives it will be S-on and will either have the android 2.3.4 os or the new ICS with the locked 1.27 bootloader.

If it is the case and it has the 1.27 locked boot loader, can I simply check the cid and download the correct firmwre and dump it on to the SD Card to flash it and make it S-of or do I need to do any further steps?

I am getting a sim free sensation from amazon.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
If u are with hboot 1.27 then you have to downgrade somehow to hboot 1.17 or 1.18. Then only you will be able to s off.

And downgrading is tricky. Trkaaa can guide you better in this regard. Follow his thread. And definitely one more reply is coming to you from him .
[HTC Sensation] Stephen:
I assume if you need to downgrade you dump the zip on the root of the SD card and flash it? I also assume you need to check the CID on the phone and see if it matches the CID of the zip file.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
It is not that easy . Actually S-ON does not allow firmware flashing by PG58IMG.zip method . Only RUU is the option normally for S-ON device. Sometimes an higher RUU will no allow to flash an lower RUU.
[HTC Sensation] The-Last-Hylian:
I just tried to flash up to ARHD 6.5.3xe from 6.3.0xe.

I got to this step again: 8. Power down, then boot to Bootloader. Select Fastboot. Say yes to upgrade.

Again I got incorrect CID, so I think I got the wrong firmware package.

I tried to use this firmware but I'm guessing it's incorrect?

3.32.401.10x RUU
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Download the correct firmware which includes your cid and mid.!
[HTC Sensation] Bornnover:
I currently have InsertCoin's Sense 4.0 ROM with Touch Recovery and i want to go back to s-on because i want to send my phone back for warranty repair (case problems) and i am not sure what to do.

I tried to flash RUU.exe but it does not work (i think because of the bad firmware i have installed prior to ICS installation) so which firmware to download, can you please tell me and are there any special steps i need to take?

I suppose then i need to flash some normal rom (maybe that rooted stock GingerBread ROM) and proceed with RUU.exe as normal?

Thanks a lot!
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
I will suggest first you downgrade your HBOOT to 1.17 . Then install a GB ROM. After that you run an suitable RUU ans lastly S-ON . Follow this guide !
[HTC Sensation] nDman.sk:
I can't understand way there is not a complete GB firmware to downgrade from ICS.

I was update the firmware to test some ICS rom and i don't liked them at all so decided back to GB. now i have the 3.12 firmware + 1.17 bootloader + 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 Radio on my phone and with this my phone works so bad.

with every ROM i have many auto turnoff and hanging. after testing many roms and kernels currently my phone work good only with the cm-7.1.0-SelfKANG10-Sensation rom + Bricked_XE-aosp-1.6-ondmnd-1536-192.show-p1984 kernel but not so well. i was have 4 auto turnoff in past month and first hang today which forced me to clear cache+dalvick to work again.

i'm sure all this problems come from ICS firmware because before that i was have not any problem with my phone.

after searching i find this GB firmware:

http://dmach.net/blog/2011/08/14/htc-sensation-4g-1-45-401-2-ota-update/

but file list inside this firmware is different from ICS firmwares. This files: adsp.img, sbl1.img, sbl3.img are not in this firmware.

if i flash this to my phone it will brick it? if not, this can help to solve the ****ing problem?
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
The reason is the only other gingerbread firmware is revolutionary's which I can't find a package of as his root method has a conpressed .exe installable otherwise I would have used that.

The best way is if you are going back is to use the engineering hboot is to run your stock ruu and reroot the phone again as the guide says for going back to gingerbread (it is in android dev forum)

I can't tell you what that file does as i am on the phone and can't examine that files contents. I do know those sbl files will be needed for gingerbread firmware to be conpleted bit I prefer to test it before I confirm what it does.

Sent from my Sensation in UrQuan subspace
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Ok. If you want to use that firmware you listed you need to do the following to it.

Double click the .zip when it is downloaded (do not extract).

Follow the guide on post 1 to edit the android-info.txt file to have your CID and MID.

Also delete the HBOOT 1.18.0000 file out of the zip.

If you are not on tmobile. Delete the RCDATA.img file as well.

The radio in there is 10.14 (goes with RIL .169)

rpm = real time power management. Is ok

sbl2 = Second bootloader part 2

tz.img = trust zone

now. Here is the problem with this.

Firmware 3.32 also contained sbl1 & 3 (Second Bootloader parts 1 and 3) so those won't be updated to original GB SBLs. I will see if I can find this.

I will (if I have time today otherwise I'll get to it this week) try to create a complete GB Engineering package and get it uploaded for everyone.

try downgrade to GB with firmware 1.17 and install GB Rom

Sorry to ask such a noob question but i reverted to full stock from using an insert coin rom to see if it would update officially to ICS - it didn't.

Now i have got back and flashed a working rom of the sense 4 beta 14 again but i can't use my backup to recover my settings.

I think the reason is because i have the wrong recover software, when i went into recovery previously i got the new style with touch screen options and a full screen menu, now I'm back to the older command line style interface and when i try to use my recover option if fails.

How can i get the newer style back, I'm flashing the PG58IMG.zip 3.32 version under HTC part 1. My phone is a vodafone supplied Sensation that i changed the settings to turn it into a standard HTC one ages ago.

Anyone got any suggestions, I'm completely lost now :-(

Download the file you need for your phone from Firmware V3.12

Double click it in windows (Don't unzip it)

delete everything but android-info.txt and the hboot file in it.

Copy the PG58IMG.zip to your SDCard and flash (in bootloader) the newly edited PG58IMG.zip file
