Hello after successfully installed 6.2.1_XE.zip

(answering No to TMOUS, Yes to Sony Bravia and No to XE) each time i try to reboot i goes back to 4EXT Recovery Touch and does not boot the ROM itself (USB cable is plugged). If i unplug the cable it goes to Beats Audio logo and remains stuck here (more than 10 min)

i did the operation with battery at 20% only

What should i do/check ?

PS: here are my firmware info:

HBOOT-1.27.1100

RADIO-10.14.9035.02_2

and not

RADIO-11.21.35.04.13_2. Is this normal ?
[HTC Sensation] reaperofwaywardsouls:
Awesome guide, helps out people who want to flash other ICS roms as well.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Try superwiping and re-flash the rom. If this happen again try re-downloading the files and check md5checksum you might have a bad download.

As far as the HBOOT is 1.27.1100 you have the right firmware. The radio info isn't accurate in the bootloader
[HTC Sensation] voldor:
Hi i did it again and it still fails (i also check the md5 it matches what is mentionned bellow the download link)

I just noticed i do not have 4EXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.3 RC 3 but only the RC2. Does it matter ? How should i upgrade to RC3 knowing that i can't boot into android ?

Thanks for your help
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Are you coming from a stock rom? are you sure that your phone is s-off'ed? not just htcdev unlocked only. Did you follow every single step of the guide? did you downloaded the files from the link i've provided?

If you are S-OFF'ed update to the latest 4ext recovery touch rc3 version downloading the file here copy it to your sd card and flash it manually via recovery.

If you are not. BE CAREFUL. you are neither reading the guide thoroughly nor following the steps and you can brick your device. One of the main requirements is to be S-OFF'ed
[HTC Sensation] HPDoubleDutch:
As I said Hawke: Tried it. At first I thought: "Hmm nice stuff". Till I opened my Outlook on the pc and saw all my SMS's in the inbox of my GMail account :D

The app I use simply stores the backup on the SD card.

If you also use your GMail account for personal e-mails, I'd not recommend your option ;)

============================

Edit: joaquinf, maybe you can add the option of using a SebastianFM kernel after flashing ICS ROM?
[HTC Sensation] voldor:
I am S-Off coming from ROM 3.6.13. but now i'm at least trying to get back to it (flashing back to firmware 1.17 and restoring a NAND backup)

[Edit] You need to flash back the firmware 1.17 if you are not supercid'ed from 'User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24 Unlocked(No need to SuperCID)'

Restoring the NAND Backup was a success

(I'm posting here because i can not post to development forum)

After the last update of ARHD 6.5.1 XE i have a few problems.

The ringtone is auto changing to default sound.

Alarm is changing to default sound and is turned off after the first alarm.

GPS doesn't work at all.

Very fast battery drain. :(

Any help?

With s-on?? Cmon use revolutionary for s-off!

As i said the official RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed.exe is the only RUU can i flash without problem!

Is like flash custom rom via sd has stopped working! :( even with different sd 8, 16, and 1 GB.

Today i tried return to stock with this RUU and set S-ON. Like NEW from the shop, and I started again:

Revolutionary S-OFF --->OK

Root with classical "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" --->OK

4ext from market --->OK

No supercid at the moment. I have no brand HTC__203 french version.

Now i have stock rom, s-offed, and rooted, with recovery installed. easy!

I want a random rom, ok. I choose one from the forum at random, revolution 6.5.1 is a must.

--->download rom and superwipe script and put them on my sd card. (md5sum OK)

--->This rom requires 3.32 firmware, OK! Download PG58IMG.zip ( HTC__203 compatible ) and put on my sd. Check md5sum/Reboot in bootloader mode and install this ****ing firmware, radio, hboot...

--->Another reboot in bootloader mode (without sd-card) and launch recovery

--->insert sd card

--->toggle usb

--->delete PG58IMG.ZIP

--->choose zip for install

--->superwipe--->superwipe OK

--->reboot into recovery again and start flashing 6.5.1 zip.

Fast and easy! BUT!

At writing data & system jump quickly ( 4 second for install data & system ) and ask for choose kernel, tmous patch, and Bravia.

3/400Mb flashed in 4 second??

Installation succesfull, reads on the screen!

Reboot and bloody hell! stuck at the HTC LOGO. Nothing has changed! This for all firmware with related rom, no way! Tried downgrade with firmware 3.30->3.24->3.12 nothing! Tried with hboot from 3.12 into 3.32 NOTHING!

If i flash a rom with my sd card stop working. With RUU and flashing via USB all OK! Official french rom works perfectly and with no problem! But is a old rom and slow.

I tried the FOTA flashed from my sd card. ( Fota only for my RUU Europe 1.73.401.4 )

Intallation is ok, no error. Pass htc logo and beats audio but lag incredibly, and have a random restart. After two/three reboot stuck at beats audio!

If return back to official ruu 1.73.401.4 all return to works with no problem and/or error.

I don't know why. I believe that the installation via RUU is the only way for my phone. SD installation has stopped at random, because my latest rom was revolution hd 6.3.1 and used for many weeks! Fast, Stable and never had an error. One day reception stop working, after a reboot reception returns ok but many lag and delay appears. Reboot again and TADAAA Stuck at htc logo. Tried to restore my 4ext backup but nothing.

Now i am on official 1.73.401.4. I have no other alternatives:mad:

Can't use Revolutionary with Hboot 1.23 :confused::(
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Go to [Guide] Successful S-OFF after (wrong S-ON) brick for ICS/GB ,Downgrade S-ON firmware have a read and if you have any further questions regarding s-on with hboot 1.23 post in that thread. You might get better support there.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Ringtone fix: Move your desired ringtone to /system/media/audio/ringtones/ using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer

Alarm: do the same thing as with ringtone. Move your desired alarm sound to /system/media/audio/alarms/ using Root Explorer or ES File Explorer.

I dont have any GPS issues whatsoever. Mine is working just fine and locking around 3 to 6 secs. Try doing a superwipe and reflash ROM.

Batt drain: Give it a few charging cycles and a couple of days, it might get bettter. If you still having batt issues try using a lower cpu speed. i.e: If you are on 1.5ghz kernel use the 1.2ghz one.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
This is weird. I'd suggest you to post in the ARHD thread and/or send a PM to mike, this way you can get better support. There are a lot of experienced mods and users who can give you a hand with this issue.

Sorry for not being helpful, but this is beyond my knowledge :(
[HTC Sensation] Pr0tectiveG0ggles:
Can't follow the complete instruction, my English is not SO good. Sorry.

But as far as I can understand the instruction, i followed it and tested it.. but nothing.. Hboot 1.23 , and no downgrade :(

Any help for me?

Please :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Quick question. What ROM are you on right now and why are you s-on with hboot 1.23?.

And again, my best advice for you is to look for an answer in the right place. Post your questions in the thread i've linked. There you can get support, maybe you can ask for help to a german user.

Sorry, i can't go any further than this
[HTC Sensation] Pr0tectiveG0ggles:
I'm on Stock HTC Sensation XE 1.73 Rom, rooted.

I don't know :c

Thank you. I hope a German user will help me.

[HTC Sensation] Gho57:
Solved!

Solved!

SOLVED!

My ****ing Windows 7 64 bit doesn't apply revolutionary S-OFF at 100%

Screen show S-off and revolutionary seems to install correctly with no error.

Today i tried with Kubuntu and works perfectly! Every firmware works! Now i am on Revolution HD 6.5.1 with no problem finally!!

I tried to go back to stock, with official rom and S-ON. I use revolutionary again on my pc with Windows 7 64 bit. Revolutionary "has given me the ****ing lemons" and show S-OFF succesfull!! But after a first firmare and rom install, stuck at htc logo!!

Flashed again the official RUU and applied again S-ON with "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"

Back to Kubuntu, S-OFF-->Firmware-->Recovery--->Superwipe--->ROM.

Now i am an happy hd 6.5.1 user. **** Yeah!

I think i tried to flash ~50 rom in these 3 days!

I need to go to the Himalayas to follow the renunciation way
[HTC Sensation] JLG7:
:'(

so my "smart" butt flashed the 3.32.401.3 & 3.32.401.103 RUU so it starts to update and it fails it tells me my cid is incorrect when i take out the "pg58img" and just turn on my phone..it reboots after it passes the htc screen over and over

so im guessing i kinda bricked it :P so is there any way to get out of this lol

it was my mistake i didn't check the cid to my phone i was trying to flash a ics rom quickly

any help is appreciated :)
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Please read the first post .. everything is there.

Your phone is not bricked by the way, but if you keep flashing things without knowing or reading the guides, threads and tutorials posted (plenty of them out there) you certainly are highly likely to brick it. Read and follow the instructions and everything should be ok.
[HTC Sensation] _DavidWebb:
So, I'm pretty noob still. I have S-off all that jazz, I was running MIUI for about 6 months, after CM7 for a week, getting pretty bored with it. Been wanting to try ICS for a while now, but all the threads seemed like there was a lot more work to get the ARHD ICS...flashing diff kernels and radios and what not. Came across this thread, didn't have ONE problem! I am now the proud owner of a Sensation, running ICS WITH Beats! Woohoooo!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much!! And thanks to everyone like that mike guy, and whoever else needs thanks. If I can do it, anyone can! Just read!!!

Oh, and first boot only took 2 minutes for me!

Great Rom, just one thing about the browser

I really like the rom and I think the creator should know that by my donation.. And since I can't post in the R&D section due to some stupid rule, anyone having issues with yahoo mail not updating the browser page when you click a link?

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 PM ----------

If you flash the firmware upgrade you need, and then go into console with the phone attached to pc, and type in console "reboot recovery" it will go into recovery and you can wipe and do whatever afterwards, but you didn't do something right otherwise you wouldn't get a the boot problem you have.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
I don't use yahoo but what if you use another browser like chrome? stock browser is kinda buggy in this release. If you click a link the browser open the last page visited instead of the link you've clicked, you need to click it twice to open it succesfully.

Regarding your donation to mike, go to his profile and click the donate link on his signature, then PM him with the confirmation number.
[HTC Sensation] christian666:
is there a different on this step " STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8" under the S-Off steps and the step " Removing the PG58IMG.zip file from the sd card " under Guide on how to flash the ICS 3.32 firmware and ARHD 6.5.x ICS ROM

thank you
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
:confused::confused::confused::confused:

There are two completely different things and you just've pointed the clear difference in your post. The former is to install cwm recovery and the latter is to remove the firmware file from sd card after flashing it.
[HTC Sensation] Yves Winkels:
Hi, I wanted to flash my rom to the ARHD 6.5.1, but after I tried to upgrade the firmware I came to a bootloop, also in the recovery my phone keeps rebooting..

I already had an ARHD rom on my sensation so he already was S-OFF'ed and rooted, I Installed 4ext recovery TOUCH (v1.0.0.4 RC2) then I made him superCID but after I wanted to upgrade my firmware I couldn't do anything anymore.. the only thing that maybe went wrong was that I didn't do this step:

"2e. Add your cidnum: <your CID> or modelid: <your MID> to the list, save file and close archive"

but my bootloader screen gave me:

-Revolutionary-

PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-1.27.1100

RADIO-11.22.3504.07M

So in my opinion it was fine, when I went back to the main screen of 4ext, my phone kept rebooting to the main screen of 4ext.

(I use windows 7 64-bit)

Could someone please help me with it?

Thanks!

SOLVED
[HTC Sensation] nightanole:
Kinda confused.

1. s off revolutionary.io/

2.recovery v5.0.0.8 via apply update from hboot PG58IMG

3. flash su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip like any other rom from zip card

4. super cid so it takes the new firmware

I now am perm rooted 2.3.5 (correct?)

I now start the OP guide at "put the touch recovery" on correct? Sorry it just seems on that im flashing so many times and installing recovery 2x. I guess the deal is to permroot in 2.3.5 and the switch to ICS firmware and roms.
[HTC Sensation] Gho57:
Check if md5sum are correct for your firmware and/or re-inject recovery via fastboot

If you have stock rom yes, its correct.
[HTC Sensation] Yves Winkels:
Problem solved.. I think I installed an older version of recovery.. Sorrry my bad, should have checked everything earlier and then post something!
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
yes , But 2.3.5 may not work with revolutionary ( try ) , if it didn't work then downgrade your software ( link is in my signature )

yes ( if it is a PG58IMG.zip ) , but if 5.0.0.8 is an ???.img , then you need to flash it through fastboot , for every thing regarding recovery go to my post 917

if you do super cid you can use any package for certain firmware version , but you can do it without super cid by choosing the Friendly firmware by khor according to your cid
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
You need to install 4ext recovery touch. Otherwise you will not get the prompts for tmous support, kernel choice and bravia engine during the installation.

You could've flashed 4ext first instead of cwm recovery, it's just i didn't want to mix guides and steps to make the guide easier to follow
[HTC Sensation] rivalcycle971:
Thanks a lot for the guide! I've had my Sensation since August but I hadn't ever attempted to S-OFF or root until today. I had no prior knowledge of how to do so but everything went smoothly using this. No problems so far.

feedback

Hi

after having used ARHD 6.5 for 2 weeks, and enjoyed using it, here are my feedback:

few bugs found:

- Proximity sensor doesn't work anymore, at least when calling, didn't make further tests.

- soft keyboard often don't appear with google voice search results. annoying when u want to modify a msg you've talked, before sending it.

- when adding a pin or face unlock system, quick shortcuts on lockscreen don't work anymore, they only send to home, wether you choose mail, camera or messaging... intents transfer issue?- maybe another intent problem : nearly all send go to web browser, instead of specific apps. i.e : google search for location don't open map but browser, scan code for app don't send to market but browser, google search for some term opens browser, without search result but last views page.

chrome to phone copy to clipboard doesn't work anymore: it just open the full webpage... etc

- in the demo, when editing icons presentation you can drag an icon to top of the screen to send it to another home screen... Just can't do it

- after config fully completed (auto update, connectivity, etc), battery still gets empty faster than with gingerbread

i don't know wether they come from google app, rom Build or sense.

by the way, ifs rocks and your build is just amazing!

cheers

[HTC Sensation] tohfhu:
Thank you very much, after 5 months I finally s-off, rooted, super cid, and flashed to ARHD ICS. One of the best decisions I've ever done with this phone.

Noticed some few bugs but not really a big deal. Still a ton better than the stock sense. And on the whole process not a single problem was encountered.

From noob to somehow have an Idea on how to do everything. lol

Again, thanks to everyone that has the patience to post everything. :D

Noob Question

Hello, I would like to ask if my concern is perfectly normal? or If i did something wrong.

I flashed ARHD followed every steps from this Guide. Everything went fine and it's working great. Everything is fast.

I'm playing around my phone to look for things that aren't working properly.

Then I came on this situation where in im trying to Activate the built in WiFi Hotspot. But everytime i turn it on. the Wi-Fi is disconnected. Then if it turn on Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi Tether is turned off. I can't seem to turn them on at the same time. This feature was working fine on my Stock Rom Gingerbread 2.3.4 prior to rooting and flashing ARHD.

Can someone enlighten me please? Any replies would be greatly appreciated. I'm a total noob here. This was my first smartphone :)

Thank you very much.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Nothing to be worried about. This is completely normal. Is not possible to have both wifi and wifi-tether at the same time. Im 99% sure it wasnt possible being on gingerbread either.

Guess is because they use the same resources and wifi tether is meant to share your mobile data connection not your wifi.
[HTC Sensation] tomer1981:

[HTC Sensation] christian666:
quick question

should we all have the same radio FW ? like

11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M

or will depend on different things like which ROM did you flash ?

Since I flash the Android Revolution HD 6.5.1 XE

--- ROM MD5 Checksum: 24A10066D17BFBC200FCFFEAA0294713 *Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.5.1.zip ---

--- ROM MD5 Checksum: F149A9DD650D98B196FDAFEAE0B6A2E8 *Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.5.1_XE.zip ---

--- Direct link to 6 fast server that will randomly use one of our sources ---

--- Thanks to Mavy170, Whiskey103, MarcoHD, Lizard, hoosbude, vinas1 & target5 ---

but I have a different radio from the 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M

instead I have baseband(radio) : 11.65.3504.00U_11.19.3504.29_2
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
In this case, radio is given by the firmware update not by the ROM. As long as you don't flash a new radio you must have 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M. Go to Settings>About phone>Software Information>More>Baseband Version to get the REAL radio you have flashed on your phone. Don't gather radio info from bootloader.

The most important thing is you must have the matching radio/ril combo. RIL for 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M is included in ARHD 6.5.1 and if you have a different radio you must flash the corresponding RIL or reflash the recommended radio. Check out the ril thread linked in the useful links section if you wanna keep your current radio.

Also check the fimware was flashed succesfully, including the radio item. You might have a bad firmware flash
[HTC Sensation] ardom:
Another noob question.

Is it safe to flash the upcoming 6.5.2 ARHD ROM from my 6.5.1?

I'm pretty new and sorta noob here.

I flashed ARHD 6.5.1 Last Sunday, eventually after everything was working fine.

I factory reset my phone to clean my SD Card( I backed up on my PC all the Nandroid backups). And so what happened is I lost the Boot ANimation, though I already fixed that by putting boot package on data/local, I also lost the Maxthon browser, and Maps(google maps), So what I did is since I can't find Maps on the playstore(market), I downloaded a tweaked Google Map here in the Sensation Forums also and placed it in my root system folder, it is a google map where in you can use Navigation anywhere in the World. I forgot the name of that Google Map.

I'm also having slight issues with my WiFi Reading Incorrectly at random times. Though I'm near the WiFi router. It only reads 1 Bar on my WiFi Meter. Sometimes it fixes on its own, sometimes I need to restart. It's not annoying me though, I just want to share what I found out :)

So my question is, in spite of all the noob things I've done as stated above. Is it still safe to flash ARHD 6.5.2 ROM? do I need to superwipe first? or It's perfectly fine?

Thank you very much.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Anytime you have strange issues i'recommend you to reflash your current rom without superwipe. That will restore all system data and apps and erase all mods or files you've changed from initial installation. You will keep your installed apps, accounts and settings though.

As you already have 6.5.1 you can flash 6.5.2 over, superwipe isnt necessary in this case because you are not flashing a new base nor changing to a different ROM. Just download 6.5.2.zip when available, put it in sd card and flash it via recovery, also you can clear dalvik + cache to avoid issues from your previous ROM. This will also re install maxthon, maps and bootanimation.

You could've reflashed 6.5.1 without superwipe to get the apps and bootanimation back
[HTC Sensation] RickMckc:
Thanks - this is one of the best guides I've ever read on this site!
[HTC Sensation] ardom:
Thank you very much. I'll try reflashing my Rom later when I get home or if 6.5.2 is up ill try flashing that instead.
[HTC Sensation] ardom:
Am I the only one experiencing the WiFi Meter Reading Error? There are times when even I'm near the Router I'm only seeing 1 bar on the status bar. But if I check on the WiFi settings its full bar. It doesn't affect my connectivity though.
