Mi HTC is stuck on the beats audio logo. Is it there that I have to wait the 5 to 10 minutes for it to boot or do I have to do something else????
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU has the bootloader locked and comes with the ICS radio. If you want to flash a new radio you need to revert to HBOOT 1.17 firmware. Download the specific 1.17 firmware package for your cid from here and follow the steps to uptade firmware. After that you will be able to flash a different radio.

Notice that having hboot 1.17 or firmware from 3.12 ice cream sandwich WILL NOT boot in any case. If you want to use ics again you will need to update your firmware to 3.24
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
First boot will take around 7 mins. Wait a lil bit more and if your phone doesn't boot you will need to review what you've done

Radio 11.68

Hello all

I have a earlier Radio version, where can I get the newest 11.68?

I have been searching but could not find it. plz, can you help me?

martijm@wxs.nl
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Grab it from 6.2.1 download section in android revolution hd OP and follow the installation instructions inside the zip.
[HTC Sensation] DarkPrinceByWWW:
@joaquinf: Hi, thanks for the gide. Do you know, that you can back up sms with the sense sms app?
[HTC Sensation] :
Is it then possible to go back to the original?

(Old HBOOT, old radio, old ROM)?

For example, if I need my warranty?

If so, how?
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Thanks. Yes i know, but, some people have reported misbehavior using sense feature. Ill add it to the options anyways
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Yes you can. All you need is to flash a stock ruu following the steps in the thread guide to s-on (link in the op)

Edit: read and follow steps 4 and 5 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
I've been using the 3.32 firmware since tmousa did the ota update. I've tried at least 10 ICS ROMs and I'm now using Bruce's cm10 unofficial job ROM 8/07 build. I've never had a problem even when I was using ADHD (which I have to say gave me amazing aututu scores in the 9000's). What exactly are the benefits of 3.33 firmware? And the reason I haven't flashed 3.33 is because I've read everywhere that it relocks the boot loader . Any truth to that? Thanks and I hope this hasn't been asked because nothing came up in search.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

You can flash Kohr-Ah's Universal 3.33 Firmware

This one will not update your hboot,or lock your phone.

It will give you the new radio,though.

And then,there is the old adage...

If it ain't broke,don't fix it. :p

:)
[HTC Sensation] slacker1979:
Yeah I'm more in line with the if it isn't broke don't fix it crowd lol. I have perfect signal and every ROM I run works perfectly fine. And if it were a big deal tmousa would've released their own update but the 3.32 is the last firmware for the tmousa sensation 4g. I think the radio upgrade mainly affected the other carriers bands. Thanks for the link. I bookmarked it for later use if I get more convincing evidence I need it.:good:

[HTC Sensation] fleaboobash:
Won't accept pg58img.zip???

I have a sensation which I rooted a while ago and fancied doing it again, but needed to upgrade the firmware first. I downloaded the universal full 3.33 firmware as per the instructions and tried to flash it in the bootloader but it just flashes up with several lines of text which quickly disappear taking me back to the bootlaoder home screen? Any ideas why this isnt working for me? The PG68IMG file is definitely on the root?

Appreciate your advice :)
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Would you mind posting the result (except imei and serial number) of typing the following command with your phone connected to the pc and booted into bootloader mode.

fastboot getvar all
[HTC Sensation] fleaboobash:
Type it into where? :)

Without sounding too thick, type this into where? :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
In a command window on your pc
[HTC Sensation] fleaboobash:
I've tried this but the pc doesn't recognise my phone when it's in bootloader? Hence the command prompt doesn't either. By the way I still have CWM on my phone, should I put the 4ext one on it? I realise it must be frustrating advising a noob but please bear with me :D
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Do you have the proper drivers installed on your pc?? if so, try doing this:

Whichever recovery you have is independent from the ROM hence you are free to keep cwm or switch to 4EXT. However, if you are going to flash ARHD you need to have 4EXT recovery touch installed so you can make some choices during the installation process as explained in the guide. 4EXT brings a whole new experience and features and i consider it is the best recovery out there, but again this is just my opinion. Try it and you won't regret.

On the other hand, isn't frustrating helping newcomers that help themselves and doesn't want to be spoonfed ;. So don't worry i'm glad to help
[HTC Sensation] fleaboobash:
getvar all

I have )I think!) attacthed the screenprint of the getvar thingy...I know....duh....:)
[HTC Sensation] fleaboobash:
Did it :)

Ive sorted the firmware :)
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Cool! That's great news. What did you do and what was the problem?
[HTC Sensation] fleaboobash:
I was trying to install the 3.33 firmware but it just kept saying aborted, so I tried using 3.32 in the same way and it worked first time! I installed 4ext and it's lovely, I'm going to put other on my desire too, as the side buttons aren't as reliable as they once we're, so the 4ext touch interface will be useful. All of have to do now is learn to use it properly ;) thanks for all your help!

I've updated the firm from 3.32 (unlocked, s-off, 1.27) to 3.33, and this locked my bootloader with the 1.29 hboot...why?

[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Are you referring to the Android version? If so, arhd is based on 4.0.3 and the steps are the same no matter what ics ROM you are flashing
[HTC Sensation] asdqwebnm:
Hello,

I was using ARHD 6.1.1 for a long time. Then my phone started being unstable so i flashed 3.33 firmware and 6.7.2 ROM with faux kernel as explained in here.

Now the phone has terrible signal quality, sometimes it doesn't receive any signal at all. I have the recommended radio (11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M) What can I do to fix it? Thank you.

Congrats on the excellent tutorial

As a noob that has just installed it's first custom ROM (I did have my HTC Sensation rooted for a while now, but never managed to install the 'latest' rom - and I did try several 4.x ROMS, but because of my lack of knowledge, I failed), please allow me to thank you and to ask you if you did end up specifying somewhere a way that users can buy you a beer (as you mentioned others have asked you) :good:.

I was really nervous about upgrading the firmware and everything, but thanks to your well written tutorial I have managed to upgrade from the stock Android 2.3.4 + Sense 3.0 to bruce's excellent ROM (just getting to explore it, but it seems to run very well so far) with Android 4.1.2.

To any other noob users like me who have doubts, this tutorial works excellent, try it with confidence.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Hi! thanks for your kind words. I'm glad you've find this guide useful to succesfully update your phone and it is very rewarding knowing that you've done some reading and searching to do the process. Bruce's ROM is very nice i had it on my phone before i gave it to my gf :p

I've put the donation button below my avatar in case you want to buy me a beer, thanks for asking for it I really appreciate that :highfive:

Again, thanks for your words and i encourage you to keep searching and reading before you do something to your phone, that's what everyone should do. There are plenty of things that we don't know about but the answers are out there in the forums and threads on this awesome community. If you need any help feel free to PM me and i'll see what can i do for you :)

Take care and enjoy your phone :cool:
[HTC Sensation] uifi82:
Yeah... was discouraged at first, but the more I started to read, the clearer things became :).

Btw, I tried to donate, but it told me you were unable to receive funds. You might wanna check that out (if it's all good on your end, it means I have a problem :confused:). Who knows how many beers got lost that way...

We do not have HoneyComb on our phones.

We currently have ICS and JellyBean.

Both firmware 3.32 and 3.33 will work on both systems

I don't know how safe is to s-on with an ICS ROM. Did your phone came with stock ics? i'd recommend going back to GB and wait for the OTA. Remember you have to flash the stock RUU your phone came with in order to safely switch s-on

3.33 universal issues

Hey I flash the 3.33 universal firmware and install the AOKP "Initiate Your Swagger"[4.1.2][Nov 10][OTA][1080p] rom. I am having issues receiving picture text messages. Do you guys know if it has anything to do with the radio or the rom?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Nothing to do with radio or ROM.

Do you mean MMS?

If so ,you have to configure an APN specific for that.

Google your settings,make a new APN,save and reboot.

[HTC Sensation] K3nshiro:
Hi there,

First of all, thank you for this great guide, I've learned some very important things today.

I have a little question that is nagging my mind...

I'm planning to get S-Off this week (whenever time and kids allow it) to be able to play with custom roms and enjoy a modified Sensation.

The question is simple:

Some Custom Roms require either 3.32 or 3.33 Firmware (well at least it's recommended), so:

is it completely safe to flash FW 3.33 with a custom Rom that recommends it and the next day (or wehenever) flash FW 3.32 (downgrade) to be able to install another ROM that recommends FW 3.32 ? And so on ? That means a lot of, sort of, downgrades/upgrades of the FW. depending on the custom ROM it is targeted for...

I hope that my question was clear and that this was the correct place to ask...

Thank you for reading me,

Kind regards,

Ken
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Yes,you can change firmwares every other day ,if you want.

But only if you are s-off.

It is ,however, not necessary.

Most ROMS will run equally well on 3.32 or 3.33

3.33 is basically only a radio upgrade.

So,depending on which radio is best for you,stick with one or the other,and you will be fine.

:)
[HTC Sensation] K3nshiro:
Thank you for the quick answer mate!

Hi guys.. I'm trying to flash ARHD 6.8.0 XE from my previous version of ARHD which is 3.6.2 or something I can't recall but it stucked at beats audio logo for a quite long time after done flashing so I guess my phone is bricked. I re-read this and I forgot to update my firmware to 3.33 because I accidently somehow skipped that part.. So what can or should I do to solve this problem? Thanks

EDIT: The problem solved I just have to flash the firmware 1st the do the ROM again and it's working just fine now..

Hi all,

I have a problem, I think it is my f/w

1. After a night in the charger, my phone is showing 100%, I reboot, it shows me 80%, then 60%, then 90% - every reboot it is a different num

2. If the battery is less then 12%, the phone will just shot down

3. My phone will heat up and turn off when I play ANY game

btw, if the phone is charging, it will not shot off, no matter how hot it gets...

Lumberjack doesn't give me anything...

How do I erase my f/w and all the surroundings (f/w + radio + splash screen etc...) ?

can someone help me ?

you have to boot the phone into bootloader mode to be able to use fastboot. Try unninstalling htc sync if you have it and reinstall the naked drivers

Reboot after update.

now I just need to extract the drivers from the installation...

OK, I got good drivers, flashed f/w 3.33 and ROM, thanks everyone for your help

I am downloading your current 6.8 beats hd rom and was wondering what else do i need apart from the rom and super wipe? do i need to get the radio or is it in the rom? Also this won't ruin my carrier unlock will it?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Follow the [OP]

First ,you must upgrade your firmware to 3.32 or 3.33

The radio you will need is in the firmware zip.

Then,in 4 EXT recovery,use the "Format all partitions (except sd card)"

Then, install the ROM.

Your carrier unlock is permanent,no matter what you do.

:)
[HTC Sensation] aty27:
Hi mate final question sorry about this just want to be sure, the firmware which has the radio in is it the 3.33 firmware or something else?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Yes.

That is correct.

Firmware 3.33 has the latest radio in it.

Aroma Installer Problems

Hi,

I'd tryed around 5 times to flash ARHD ICS Roms, but I always get the same problem or similar (Reboot at the begining of installation).

I come from Gingerbread Rom 2.3.4.

This is my data:

Unlocked

Firmware 1.17 Universal

S-OFF

Root (Super user + binary updated)

4EXT Recovery 1.0.0.5 RC5

How can I flash the ARHD 7.0??

Thanks!!!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Your current setup is for Gingerbread.

You need to update your firmware /radio.

You are in the right place.

Everything is in this thread.

Read it carefully.

Follow it to the letter.

:)
[HTC Sensation] EDB_CF:
Hi! First, thak you for your answer!

But, I already did that. I flash the 3.33 firmware from ARHD thread and then in 4EXT (clear cache first), Superwype, Install from SD card...

Start Aroma and get stuck in installer... that's all, my sensation reboot any time up to the HTC screen..

I forget something?

Thanks!!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

What does your bootloader say now?

Can you please post it here.

Do you need the information after those step that I menthioned in previous post, right?

Thanks malybru!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi.

OK.

I am confused.

What is your situation at the moment?

If you are on GB,you cannot flash ARHD 7.0

:)
[HTC Sensation] EDB_CF:
Hehe

Sorry, my fault.

Now I'm on GB, but I did all the steps that I mentioned before (flashing Frimware 3.33, from 4EXT: Superwype, Install zip ARHD 7.0 from SD card), and always have the same problem: Stuck a few minutes in Aroma and then reboot... with out finish all the steps.

Maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Follow what it says here on this thread.

1.Flash 3.33 Universal firmware from Kohr-Ah's thread.(link at the beginning of this thread)

2.install 4 EXT (unless you already have it)

3.In 4 EXT , go to wipe/format all partitions except sd card.

4.Install ARHD

After flashing the 3.33 firmware,go into your bootloader and check what it says.

It should say hboot 1.27

and have an 11.24A radio.

:)
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
edit:whatever malybru said
[HTC Sensation] EDB_CF:
1.Flash 3.33 Universal firmware from Kohr-Ah's thread.(link at the beginning of this thread)

2.install 4 EXT (unless you already have it) I have it

3.In 4 EXT , go to wipe/format all partitions except sd card.

4.Install ARHD

Ok, I will try tomorrow and I'll put here the data after that.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] EDB_CF:
Hi!

Here am I again..

1.Flash 3.33 Universal firmware from Kohr-Ah's thread.(link at the beginning of this thread) Done!

2.install 4 EXT (unless you already have it) Done! I already have it!

3.In 4 EXT , go to wipe/format all partitions except sd card. Done!

4.Install ARHD Here I try to do it, but it beggins and get stuck and reboot the phone

That happens every time in 4EXT or AROMA, just get stuck and rebbot the phone!

Can anybody tell me why?

This is my data right now:

Hi,

There is no reason why this should not be working.

The only thing I can think of is to re-install your 4 EXT recovery.

Can you please use the method on THIS THREAD

2. Flashing a recovery

:)
[HTC Sensation] EDB_CF:
Hi, I was thinking...

My problems could be related to this?: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1412618

I'd flashed the 3.33 firmware the first time that I try to install a ARHD ROM and this firmware put the Hboot 1.29.

Thanks!!
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

This is why I suggest to people to flash Kohr-Ah's firmware.

Mike's always locks your bootloader.

You can unlock this again by flashing "HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100)"

However,this will not cause your problem.

Did you reflash your recovery?

:)
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Unless he unlocks the bootloader first he will need the third method posted in the guide to reflash his recovery.
