Its not neccessary though unless the dev of the rom stated so...

Well for leedroid it's stated as recommended.
As it seems it's the stock radio for 2.3.4, so it's simply the one that would have been installed when flashing the stock 2.3.4?

Normally the rom itself dosent include the required radio therefore u need to flash the radio urself...
For 2.3.4, its best to flash the stock radio compatiable for it...its the radio version in my sig anyway...

Desire S - Kernel / Radio / Hboot

My wife´s Desire S has the following combination:
S-Off, Rooted
Hboot 6.98.1002
Android 2.3.5
HTC Sense 3.5
ROM EngeryROM
Radio 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M
Kernel 2.6.35.14-RCMIX-SAGA-V1-gf17016b-dirty
ClockWorkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
Strangely enough it "hangs" now and then. Im not so familiar with the Desire S, unlike my own Sensation which I know very well if it comes to tweaking.
Is any of the above configuration not recommended? Some other suggestions maybe?
Thank you in advance!

Absolutely nothing wrong. I've noticed these kinds of problems usually come from not doing a full wipe. If you did then the only thing I could recommend is a different ROM, perhaps endymion?

Also, make sure you're not running overclocked (some ROMs have it set by default).
Thanks guys! Other ROM would be nice but haven't seen a full working ICS ROM for this device yet.
Don't know if it's overclocked, what is the stock CPU speed for Desire S? 1 GHz?

Yes 1 GHz. Just to clarify though, endymion is not ics and its highly recommended by everyone here. But official sense 3.6 is almost here so not long to wait now

Thx again!
What's the recommended procedure for this phone before flashing new ROM? For my Sensation, there's a SuperWipe zip file that clears all necessary for new ROM installation. Is that available for the Desire S?

I'd suggest that you have a read within the INDEX thread (see my signature) where you find a whole load of general guides that will get you started.
Easiest way to prepare phone before installing ROM I'd say would be to install 4ext recovery and use wipe all (except SD card) option, from within the wipe menu, and then flash ROM.
Not essential but you could change the revolutionary hboot your wife has at the moment for a eng hboot. Doing this makes it alot easier to return to stock s on if needed for any reason

Totally agree with this, you'll find this recommended in the INDEX thread along with threads that should advise of how to do so.
Is any of these equipped with 4EXT touch by any chance?

If you mean do any of the ROMs come with 4EXT, no they don't, but they'll all work with it.
You need to flash the recovery 4EXT seperately to ROMS, easiest route is to use the app from the application from the market it's well worth paying for the version as you get quality support and regular updates.

Since it is a totally different firmware did you perform a super wipe?
No i did not but is there anyway i can reverse this or if i downgrade my firmware will or solve the problem thanks for replying to my question
Sent from my Sensation using Tapatalk
Well I think you have answered your own question.
And I'm quite sure you are a little confused - firmware and radio are different.
You flash the firmware when you flash the ROM, the radio remains.
And no, you have to wipe everything (either via script or custom recovery) then flash the ROM of your choice again.
What firmware would you recomment for ordroid
Sent from my Sensation using Tapatalk
??? Looks like you did not understand. Try latest radio - FIRMWARE is already included when you flash OrDroid.
Oh Ok thank you

[Q] Return to Stock (what is stock, anyways?) - how? Link?

I bought my Sensation used, with a ROM on it.
I want to return to stock stock stock. To the condition it was B4. (Of course, I still want ROOT and S-OFF, but I am assuming these won't be disabled).
I am T-Mobile USA
I did search. No avail. Please link?
Sorry!
Thanks
Stock is how you get the phone when you buy it, so without root, with s-on and a stock htc rom.
I don't really know if it is what you mean, but I guess you just want the stock htc rom? Then you have to download the RUU of your provider, which you can find here: [ROM]Shipped Pyramid ROM Collection
Good luck!

Update 6.6.7 to --- ARHD 6.7.2 | ICS

At the risk of sounding like a noob, sorry in advance! I've been trawling through these posts but have been unable to find a straight answer so here goes.
I'm using a rooted HTC Sensation with ARHD 6.6.7 XE w Beats Audio, Firmware 3.32.401, HTC sense 3.6. Everything works perfectly!!!!!!!
I just want to update to latest ARHD 6.7.2 ,XE w BA.
Can I just flash the ROM update and be done?
Or
Do I need to - superwipe, update firmware to 3.33.401 and then flash ROM?
Very much appreciated. H

From the ARHD thread
No need to Super Wipe if you have 6.7.x already!
- 3.33.401.x firmware is required!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes you need to super wipe before you flash 6.7.2
Just backup your apps with Titanium backup and messages with SMS Backup and Restore.
EDIT
Stay on 3.32 Firmware because it has an unlocked boot loader. It will still work.
Thank you very much!!

Hi,
Going from 6.6.x to 6.7.x ,you are changing bases.
You need to wipe in recovery...
Format all partitions (except sd card)
Then install new ROM.
It will work with the 3.32. firmware,but you get the new radio with 3.33 firmware.
You can get 3.33 universal firmware HERE

Could you left an information if you still believe to old firmware, because I have the same question and would like to reseive experiences.
In some cases is it better to go to next firmware, new radio better corresponding to new rom. So I am not sure to let old firmware worlk with the new rom.
Other question:
Is in the new firmware the bootloader locked ??? I hope not. So why do not upgrade to new firm ?
I found the firmware here
Many thanks for reply.

3.33 has a locked bootloader, so no do not update from 3.32.
Yes superwipe between 6.2.7 XE and 6.6.7 XE
All ARHD ROMs are stable, smooth and good with battery life (in my experience anyway)

Firmwares that I have posted:
3.33 Universal is the latest/stable release ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version and works for Sense 4 also)
3.32 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.30 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.24 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.12 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW before that (Sense 3.5 Version)
1.17 Universal This is the original Revolutionary 1.17.1111 Firmware with a completed Gingerbread Firmware v 1.45 package (Radio 10.14.9035.01_M)
So what is universal about it?
I have added a method found by mf2112 that allows the android-info file to have a wildcard tag. So instead of having a T-Mobile file where the android-info file has every cidnum the identifier is one entry into the android-info file and it covers every possible CID that T-Mobile has.

Not sure about the other firmware but use the universal as suggested because it does NOT change the boot or lock anything, I've upgraded my self to the 3.33 universal the one that won't lock or change boot. I've had zero issues and it has been wonderful . Make sure to READ before you install to be sure your downloading the correct version. You place the file at root of sd card, boot to downloader by taking battery out put battery back in, then press volume down and power at the same time. It will recognise the pg58img file and ask to update, press power for yes. Once the update is completed and rebooted. REMOVE the pg58img file! If you don't it will want to continue to update over and over inside the downloader, so delete the file soon as your finished. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Hi,
Yes, you can try to run 6.7.0 on 3.33 firmware.
Make a nandroid first.
The basic difference between 3.32 and 3.33 is only a newer radio.

Hi,
"To briefly explain with a somewhat-less-than-accurate analogy for the purist, the radio you can flash is like a firmware package in Windows terms, and the RIL is like a driver. It is important to match them for best results, or else poor or no reception is likely, as well as high battery drain." (Quote from HERE )
The radio controls mobile data,wifi,basically all radio signals in the phone.
A good radio/ril combination is required for good reception,and even good battery usage in the area in which you live .
Check the link above to see if you can get more information.
