[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
Do step EXTRA 1 or if you use 4ext recovery enable smartflash in settings. If it is enabled, disable it and enable it again.
[HTC Sensation] Comemesas:
And another cuestion: My device's firmware version is the same as the software number (3.33.401.53) / build number (3.33.401.53 CL391535 release-key) ?

If yes, that would mean that this rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1782009), as rzr86 said, could be installed in my device, right?

thanks again and sorry if my english isn't good / stupid questions
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i assume you can too.that rom is based on jelly bean android so it can be run on the latest fw version

but for sure to check you exact fw version do this:

boot your device into bootloader

connect it via pc,open a command window and do the command fastboot getvar version-main
[HTC Sensation] rohit choudhary:
when i try to extract my boot.img it says 1 or more files cannot be extracted .... and wen i type the command fastboot flash boot boot.img ...it says cannot load boot.img ....plzzzz help

go to the folder where adb and fastboot files are located and open the command window there
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Do extra step #1 again

Or enable smartflash and flash vipers rom
[HTC Sensation] -Asskicker-:
What do you mean when you extract boot.img, extracting it from the downloaded zip or...?

Just make SURE you have smartflash enabled!
[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
If you cannot extract the boot.img from the ZIP, I assume the ZIP file might be corrupted. Try to download again and give it a try! But if you use 4ext recovery just make sure "smartflash" IS enabled in settings. Then try to reflash the rom you re-downloaded.
[HTC Sensation] Comemesas:
Installing the gapps

thanks for the guide and all the help installing the rom, it was a succes, now I am trying to install the Gapps, have any of you installed it alredy or know how to install it?
[HTC Sensation] -Asskicker-:
Gapps is exactly the same as installing a rom;

Download the zip

Put it on your SD CARD

Flash it from recovery

Done!

Hope that helps :)
[HTC Sensation] Comemesas:
Thanks, I've succesfully installed it without problems
[HTC Sensation] uha666:
I've been searching thru the threads but there's one thing that keeps confusing me... I'm on O2 with a 3.32.206 firmware. I wanted to flash ARHD 6.8.0 with 3.33.401 (that from what i can tell is compatible) but since i'm HTC Dev unlocked, rooted, CWM recovery flashed, but S-ON i noticed that there's a step on ARHD that tell's me to flash firmware which i assume i can't with S-ON, can i just skip that and flash 6.8.0 or do i have to get a previous version that matches my firmware?

Regards.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Skip firmware flashing and flash arhd 6.8.0 it will work fine
[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
Actually I always wondered if my device is s-on and I have the 3.32 firmware, can I still flash any of the roms? Or at least try to flash? So if the rom requires the 3.33 firmware, am I going to do any damage if it flashed, or the rom is just not going to work? I understand that if I am s-on and have the 3.32 firmware I can install only roms based on that. I recently flashed the latest ARHD, I also tried CM10 by Bruce etc... They all worked properly. :confused: And also with these roms custom kernels came. These can be used with the rom even if I'm s-on?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Any ics/jb rom will work on 3.32 firmware even if they say 3.33 firmware.. Period
[HTC Sensation] rafael1369:
how can i super wipe

i cant found that
[HTC Sensation] Phencyclidine:
I have 3.32.xxx.xx.

And i can confirm what ganeshp said.

Now i'm using Viper 1.3.5 .I tried ARHD , InsertCoin , DarkForest , paranodi JB and more.

And change recovery to 4ext
[HTC Sensation] -Asskicker-:
Yep, I'll probably add it to the guide to stop confusing people :)
[HTC Sensation] -Asskicker-:
Super wipe is not needed, just wipe everything but SD card + factory reset
[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
Yes, that's what I did first thing when rooted my phone. Installed 4EXT recovery. I am trying out roms, no problem with that, I was just a bit worried I could do any damage to my phone if flashed something not compatible (3.32 - 3.33 firmware-wise). But if other people do the same, that gives me some peace and quiet... :silly: :good: :angel:

I managed to get more information out of him and I have directed him towards the solution, thanks :)

@rafael1369 This is why I told you to stop posting your problem in different threads, now please choose 1 thread to continue the conversation in and stick to it. If you continue to post in many threads, I'm going to get seriously pissed off and will report you to the moderators.

Utter noob here

Just wanted to write my thanks for a lot of this thread. Been an Android user for a while, but until Google Now, never had the balls to unlock / root my phone. However thanks to this guide (and many others across this board), I now have Cyanogen 9.1 and Google Now working on my Sensation without having to do the S-OFF thing - tho my interest's been piqued now... I'm thinking about the Jelly Bean ROM that's floating around. ;)

Step 2: "Download 4EXT recovery (1.0.0.5!): https://www.dropbox.com/s/6ybcxyrpzv88uik/recovery.img"; the link doesnt work. I tried googling 4EXT Recovery, but all i got was an apk... My phone wont get past bootloader,so i need the IMG...

Where can i get it? Thank you in advance!

EDIT: Got it! Dropbox was just saturated i guess. BUT; step 3A: Enable 4EXT Temporary smartflash... My phone wont boot... So I cant "untick" fastboot... So anyway; i go into bootloader, and select recovery... I get nothing. Bootloop.

Any ideas? Thank you

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If you are s-on ,make sure you use "Smartflash" just before installing the ROM.

Go to Extra 1 if you have wifi problems.

:)
[HTC Sensation] ddsepillo:
wifi on..

thanks i just finished the procedure and it work well

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

would rom manager will work for us for easy change of rom?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Personally, I would steer well clear of ROM Manager.

Changing ROM is easy anyway.

Just remember to use "Smartflash" just before installation.

I believe there is also a way to set Smartflash permanently .

Read the thread.

:)
[HTC Sensation] ddsepillo:
when flashing new roms?? always need super wipe while on s-on using 4EXT
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

It depends on the ROM.

If you simply update the ROM you are on,you can generally get away without a wipe.

If you go to a different ROM,then,always go to recovery and format all partitions (except sd card).

DO not use "SuperWipe".

:)
[HTC Sensation] ddsepillo:
can you gave me some list of custom roms for 3.33
[HTC Sensation] ddsepillo:
wipe and format for 4ext should be enough?

then can flash new roms again?

then super wipe will be for S-OFF only
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

DO NOT USE SUPERWIPE,EVER.

In 4 EXT recovery you can format all partitions (except sd card)

This will wipe your phone clean,and give it a clean base to install a new ROM.

:)
[HTC Sensation] ddsepillo:
thanks a lot super many many. but ive kind of get dizzy i have look on the list.so many and i got scared to flash roms not compatible to me
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

In 4 EXT recovery ,there is also a backup and restore section, also called nandroid backup.

Before you flash a new ROM,make a nandroid backup,and then,you are safe.

You can restore a backup if there is any kind of problem,or even,if you don't like the ROM.

There is little chance of incompatibility.

If,it it not compatible,it will not load,and just give you an error.

Just choose a ROM from the list that matches your hboot.

:)
[HTC Sensation] ddsepillo:
when choosing rom what should be consider?? the firmware? wat can say it is compatible or not before flash?? the 3.33 or the sense version 4.0.3?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
the fw version not the sense version

also if you are S-ON enable smartflash from 4ext recovery before flashing the rom
[HTC Sensation] ddsepillo:
if the rom says base on RUU 2.xx . it will not run to 3.33fm version? just only the 3.33

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

if it says 4.0.3 - 1.11.401.110, 3.32.401.5_R2, 3.33.401.106.. it will run to 3.33?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i assume yes. i am not so sure.the only thing i know is if you are S-OFF you can use whatever ruu you want
[HTC Sensation] ddsepillo:
so its better with S-OFF.. if S-OFF.. 4EXT can be used??

for in S-ON but rooted.. can i run root games or apps?

will this will run with no problem for fm 3.33.xx?? thanks
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

S-on and rooted will run game and apps.

You can only super cid with s-off.

Yes to ICS,4.1, and 3.33 roms

:)

Sent telepathically from my pyramid
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
with S-OFF makes things easier.

yes you can use root games and apps while S-ON

i assume for some roms it is necessary to change to supercid

but most roms can be flashed even in S-ON situation

what is cid? carrier identity

if you put your devive into bootloader connect via pc and do the command:

fastboot getvar cid in a command window it will show you your cid

it can be change to supercid with a simple command but first you have to be S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] -Asskicker-:
You don't need to change your cid to install different roms :)
[HTC Sensation] sid.parmar:
need some help

so i used your guide and im having wifi issues, ive flashed the rom you have said to use twice with both custom kernels used and it just says error under the wifi switch on the phone
[HTC Sensation] -Asskicker-:
Are you sure you are flashing with smart flash on? If you are do step extra 1, it should help. Last resort is flashing over the the same rom without wiping.
[HTC Sensation] sid.parmar:
forgot to do the smart flash, works fine now, thanks for the guide
[HTC Sensation] SMJx:
You sir, are a god :good:
[HTC Sensation] sid.parmar:
do i need to flash anything to get CM9 working, i tried flashing with the revolutiuon wipe tool,but i keep getting stuck in a boot loop
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you have 4ext recovery installed enable smartflash and then flash the rom
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
You should not use superwipe script when flashing cm9/CM10 that is not compatible.. Use the inbuilt wipe of recovery (4EXT - wipe / format - - format all partitions except sdcard)

[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
1.while being S-ON you cant install firmware and its not needed in your case too ..as you already have required firmware

2. yes the method will work

3. just install 4EXT ..as the thread says ..it overwrites ClockWorkMod

[HTC Sensation] Uchiha_GT:
S-ON

So i can only flash custom roms with the same firmware as my HTC Sensation if I have "S-ON", bootloader unlocked and CWM Recovery??
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,,

Yes.

But 4 EXT recovery is better because of the "Smartflash" capability.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Uchiha_GT:
Smartflash??

What is the "smartflash" capabilty??
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If you read the [OP] ,then,you will understand what I am saying.

It is unique to 4 EXT recovery,and allows you to easily flash ROMS and kernels whilst you are s-on.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Uchiha_GT:
Changing recovery

I understand now. Basically it allows you to flash custom roms with ANY firmware as if it was S-OFF. However i have already installed CWM recovery 6. Is there anyway i can change to 4 EXT recovery by COMPLETELY replacing the old one???
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

NO.

You can only flash ROMS using smartflash with the SAME firmware as you have on your phone.

For example,if you have 3.32 or 3.33 firmware,then, you can flash ICS or JB ROMS.

Look at [OP]:

2. Flashing a recovery

It explains how to install 4 EXT.

And, yes,you can install it over CWM.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Uchiha_GT:
:S

I see, thank you. However i have flashed super user which is for CWM Recovery (i think), so if i installed 4 EXT would that affect super user adversely??
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

After you have installed 4 EXT,then,you can root again.

Look at the [OP]

4A. Flashing Root

Everything you need is on this thread.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Uchiha_GT:
Do I need to??

Is it essential for me to root again once i have flashed 4 EXT??
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Probably not.

But if you do,it is well explained here.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Uchiha_GT:
I have flashed 4 EXT recovery and it is working fine. Also the SuperSU is working brilliantly aswell :D When i flashed 4 EXT Recovery over my old one did it delete the old one from memory completely so it isn;t taking up un-necesasry space on my phone??
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Yes,it clears the phone before installing the new one.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Uchiha_GT:
If I were to gain S-OFF, that means the bootloader will lock again.... Is S-OFF just like an unlocked bootloader but slightly more advanced due to the fact you can flash roms with ANY firmware and not just ones specific to my phone??
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
bootloader wont get locked ..you can flash juopunutbear hboot after soff is done (which happens during soff process only ..as an option ) which is better than unlocked hboot ...

also the reason for soff is correct :)
