Important warning - HTC Sensation

Do NOT accept the latest 2.3.4 OTA! It will still be S-OFF but it will say locked above, which means you can't flash Custom ROMS/ root/ whatever. Just a warning

On page 5 of ota 2.3.4 thread you can see the screen where it says locked. And now the hboot is 1.18.0000, instead of 1.17.00xx

OK, OTA flashed and all fine - still have S-OFF so will get a system dump up this evening unless someone beats me to it
EDIT: Interesting HBOOT now...it says *** LOCKED *** at the top of it
EDIT EDIT: HBOOT is now locked, cannot flash a new recovery - DO NOT FLASH IF YOU WANT TO S-OFF

Thread Closed !!
Thanks for the share. I got a few questions though. Is this from the ROM that was leaked two months ago (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281040)?
The version number are the same but i'm curious on why the radio/hboot come out now instead of two months ago when the ROM as leaked.

Yes that's the same I guess.
The RUU wasn't shared to all as it could have been used not properly.
It just spread widely recently

It looks like the Radio is not stable with previous firmware (hboot 1.17/hboot 1.18). As my advise don't flash this radio with hboot 1.17/ hboot 1.18, you will face too many stability problems
You should not use it with hboot 1.17

If its just the radio you will experience some reboots. Try the whole firmware, than flash the eng hboot afterwards.

I agree with you, did in same way, and working without any issue!
I think Hboot 1.19 is included in his bootloader zip and it will be updated when flashing that zip via bootloader.
Correct me if i'm wrong.

What's the advantage of doing this? Does it make 2.08 base more stable? If I update to hb1.19 will that bugger things up if i go back to older radio for a sense 3 rom? Let's face it 2.08 is not stable as 2.3.4. After I restore all my apps I get force close on system process and reboots

If i upgrade hboot to 1.19,can i downgrade to 1.18?
installed bootloader image and now its 1.19.0000 radio : 11.15.3504.16_m
it says s-off but locked ? what does it mean?
I think you could try unlock it by guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
you can use the htcdev unlock so it says unlocked
how do i change the splash1 to my own can you change a file in PG58IMG, as it wont let me change it via adb/fastboot now just says failed?

ICS testing

Hello,
I just got a mail from HTC Elevate saying:
Who here wants an ICE CREAM SANDWICH? We do! Hopefully you do, too. We're happy to announce the first round of software previews in HTC elevate and you are in the first group of folks who will be able to participate!
To get this rolling, we'll need you to tell us some information about your device. Once we have this info, assuming it's all 100% accurate, we'll be able to push ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) straight to you via HTC's software distribution server- like magic!
To get started, head into the ACTIVITY now.
Cheers!

well i think they will push ics via ota so you have to be s-on and unrooted...so you have to flash a RUU...
Reverted to stock a couple of days ago.
Today I nearly re-rooted to try Mike's new 3.30 base.
Glad I didn't now...though it looks like it may be next week before we get it
Ah ok thanks then, since it's 2am here and i'm really sleepy, can you quickly point me to the right topic on how to revert back please?
I hope it's not going to be a pain in the butt, otherwise ill have to do it 2morrow

G'day champ,
Welcome back, begin with the guides provided below.
1. S-off, unlock, recovery, root & SuperCID
[Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on
2. Install the latest firmware, 3.32 is needed for the latest base.
[Firmware][Mar 30]User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24,3.30 & 3.32 Unlocked
3. Flash a ROM, Android Revolution HD(ARHD) is the most popular(for good reason)
[ROM] Android Revolution HD 6.5.5 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | 3.32.401.105
After all that, feel free to learn what you will, there's plenty to learn, it just requires reading, and problems, there's guides all over the Sensation forums, generally within the first couple of pages.
Thank you for all that. What is the firmware step for??

For what reasons exactly
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
You can root without doing supercid. Supercid is optional.
It allows you more flexibility though. Useful if you want to flash other areas/carriers rom. Personally I prefer to keep original cid.
Recently I couldn't receive ota update to ICS because I was supercid, then reverted to the original one and suddenly I received the Ota update notice.
It's up to you whether supercid or not and it's not a real concern because you can revert at anytime.
What is your current hboot version? Power off, pull battery, press & hold vol down and power to enter bootloader and read it off.
You have to check your hboot is supported by revolutionary- the tool to give you s-off.

And the OTA thing... Say i update my phone..will i lose root n such..
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Yes you will lose everything and bootloader will become 1.27 (which is unsupported by revolutionary) Unless you have S-OFF before the update that is.
As for SuperCID, Its optional but HIGHLY recommended, As said before, it allows you to flash any firmware from any region....
If you dont have it, You MUST make sure it matches your CID or it wont boot... It can also be tricky to find one for your region (depending where you are)
It only takes a second, And its permanent and reversible
When i switch from rom to rom... Do i superwipe then flash rom everytime??
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
You can do, but its not necessary, Have a look at the installation guide for the ROM your going to flash.... Usually if you are updating the same ROM wipe isnt needed..
If you are going to a different ROM altogether, A wipe is a MUST

[Q] in bootloader s-off but on top it shows locked

Yeah, you can install anything if you're S-Off but you might wanna check if you have super CID. Also if you want a fully unlocked bootloader install 3.32 universal firmware
Super Cid is 1111111 yea maybe more or less 1
And mid is PG5813000

Look in the dev section, there is a thread thats really hard to miss about universal firmware.
Your phone says LOCKED because you havent htcdev unlocked but you are S-OFF so you dont need to htcdev unlock and it is better that you dont because you keep your warrenty if your not. S-OFF is also better because it unlocks all partitions and not just the recovery partition

Beats is just an EQ profile, download somthing like PowerAMP which is my personal favourite and has a user-definable custom EQ.
Others also say DSP manager is extremely good as well so that could be worth a try

[Q] Maybe a dumb question - but how to get back to stock rom?

Hey,
i've got a little problem !? I'm on Elegancia ICS Sense 4 v.3.4.0, and i want to get back to a pure stock rom. I attached a picture of my boot-information.
Is it ok, if flash a RUU with Firmware 3.33 and that's it?
Thanks a lot for your help :good:, and sorry for my - maybe - dumb question!
Ok now you are using ICS so you needed ICS RUU do not use Gingerbread RUU which will give you error. Download from the Pyramid shipped rom collection according to your country or provider, If you have Super CID any ICS RUU one will work, Then just run RUU done.
:good: thanks! So it's very easy to get back to stock, great! You saved my weekend !
And also S-ON if you want to take it to HTC.
