Hi,
is it possibile to update the radio firmware after have flashed the android into my nand?
Thanks
Yes either rename your radio POLAIMG and put on the root of your sdcard and press the camera and reset button.Or go to the bootloader screen 'tri colour screen' and flash as normal.

I have a rooted stock Sensation. I have heard that to update to the latest firmware, I need to flash the stock recovery P58img file (or whatever it is called) and then revert back to the clockwork mod recovery. As we all know, trying to apply the firmware update with the clockwork mod recovery prevents the update from even attempting to install.
I downloaded the stock p58 file someone kindly provided me and tried the update, but it always freezes 1/3 of the way through the update and I have to pull the battery to restore it to normal.
Does anybody have an idea why this is happening? I read most of the update thread, but I didn't see the solution unless I missed it.

You haven't provided any real details.
PG58IMG.zip can be used to update a multitude of things on the phone, Recovery, Radio, Firmware.
Can I ask why you want to update the Firmware and what you expect to get out of the update ?
There is a thread on a cut down update (no HBOOT Update) from the latest RUU, is that what you're referring to ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385439
I have also read that installing the latest RUU (with the firmware update) changes the HBOOT which can affect how it's then used.
You need to ask for more in details

Sorry. so the pg58img I used was a stock recovery file. I had heard using that would allow me to install the update, but after flashing it during the installation of the update it failed.
I wanted to install the firmware because I had read that it improved system performance and reduced bugs.
I saw the update that you were referring to, but the thread mentioned how after updating there would be no visual changes or any indicators to let me know that the firmware had actually updated, and I didn't like that aspect of it.
Is there a way to root without the change hboot and cwm?
If not is they a way to restore the stock hboot and recovery so as to be able to accept updates from HTC?
story to whom intersted
I previously used revelotionary to s-off and changed HBoot from 1.18.000 to 1.17.000 and installed cwm 4.x and installed su as the guide it was ok.
Later I needed to have an OTA update for the stock rom, so I used a stock rom rru and installed them updated everything ok, but I have problem with battery.
So either the stock rom is bad in power (radio 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01M, build 1.50.415.1) or need to clear the stats for the battery so need root.
If I use the make the default , I will lose ability to have updates unless go back to the old stock and so on....the problem that I need arabic native which have very few leaked roms so I have to go to a very old version.
There's a couple ROMS I'd like to try that are requiring a FW flash (ARHD_ICS and Virtuous Inquisition).
My question is; once the firmware is updated can you re-flash older firmwares back to the device in the event I want to try something different?
yes you can revert back to an older firmware if you wanted
Yes you can, but you have to do it all at once.
Since the ICS ROMs won't boot with old firmware, you need to put the PG58IMG.zip for the old firmware and the GB ROM you want to flash on your SD card at the same time.
Reboot to bootloader, let it flash the firmware.
Turn the phone off and remove the SD card, then boot into recovery (if you do not remove SD you will get stuck in a firmware flashing loop) - then when you get into recovery, put the card back in and install the GB ROM.

Like they say you can flash older RUUs but make sure you match it up with corresponding ROM

Hello I recently unrooted my HTC desire626s so update the firmware to 1.23.xxx and I hit install after downloading then when I boots up it goes to the cyanogenmod recovery screen so I go down to apply update and it asks through adb or select file. Since it was already downloaded I tried to find the file but I can't. Any idea where the firmware update file is at so I can update and reroot?
So I decided to update my phone ot the latest version, but since I have TWRP installed when I downloading the update it reboots to TWRP, thinks for a second and then goes to the main menu. Never does the install. Anyway I can go about installing it or do I need to install the stock recovery? If so does anyone have a link to the stock recovery.
You need to be stock (not rooted) to take updates. You'll have to flash the phone back to the original firmware, take the updates and then decide if you're going to reroot. BTW just unroot in will not trick the system. You need to have an untouched system partition. If you unroot you'll still have a marked system. Only ruu can undo it.
If you are s-off or unlocked bootloader then don't change them. It's not necessary. If you have manually locked or relocked your bootloader I recommend unlocking it before you flash the firmware to avoid any problems later on.
Find the ruu in zip format and go from there.
