[Q] How to find out what ROM installed?

Hey guys, I bought a used HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) but it came with a European stock ROM (I've been told).
The thing is, I've got all sort of weird issues with the phone, so I'm wondering maybe the ROM has anything to do with it.
How can I find out if I really have a stock or some other kind of ROM?
My software info menu says:
Android version
2.3.5
HTC Sense version

Software number
2.08.401.1
Kernel version
2.6.35.13-gc35910f [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Sep 23 17:21:03 CST 2011

Doesn anything look suspicious?

Hi,
There is nothing "suspicious".
You have a Sense 3.5 ROM installed,with what looks like a stock kernel,and the latest radio.
If there is a problem with that ROM,install another one.
Super wipe first.

Is there any way I can verify that this is the latest official ROM from HTC? I don't want to try lots of ROMs until I find a good one, I just want to have the latest official ROM (that is supposed to work fine, right?). Thanks.

The latest HTC build for the US Sensation is 1.50 and it's provided by TMobile and not HTC...Sense 3.5 is a leaked build, which is why you were probably suspicious, the current HTC updates for EU & US are still 2.3.4(Gingerbread). No ICS for you till late Q1 or early Q2 in 2012. Look in the development section of XDA and the TMO build should be there somewhere(1.50).

Hi,
If it's a 3.5 ROM then it based on a leaked version,and therefore not official.
If you want official then go for a Sense 3.0 ROM.

So that's why my phone is acting up! That makes sense. Thanks!

Not exactly, a lot of devs here are using that leaked ROM and have fixed many bugs and performance hiccups. Although they still can't change it from a leak so it's still slower than a Sense 3.0 build currently, but you shouldn't rule out the ROM as the issue just yet. You should desc your issues so that others can at least explain their origin, many users here are fine with Sense3.5.

Well, somehow I'm almost sure that an official ROM would not go published as long as there are bugs like:
- Gmail fonts (email message and UI fonts also) larger when phone in landscape mode
- All predictions, suggestions and corrections turned off from the Touch Input settings, but when composing SMS, words are underlined and, when touched, suggestions appear.
- Generally slow UI performance (slower than my previous phone, HTC Desire) including keyboard responsiveness
- One sudden reset and one reboot needed one time when the phone wouldn't connect to Mobile Internet (probably stuck in a loop, 25% of battery gone in 15 mins)
- Battery indicator once was stuck at 70% or so while the phone was charging for hours and after a reboot indicated 100%
I don't know, I have a feeling all these issues will be gone after installing an official ROM...
EDIT: I think I've found my ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1281040
EDIT: Thanks guys, I've managed to successfully install the latest European Sensation RUU. Everything runs much more smoothly now, lightning fast actually, compared to before..

[Q] Help for noob

Ok so i am brand new to rooting.
I installed gummycharged 2.0 then 2.1 then i put the ice cream sandwich add on version 1 and the updated version 2. Other than that I have no idea what I am doing.
I have tried looking up what kernel i have and what rom and all that stuff but i have no idea what it means. if someone could explain that would be great. Here is what my system information says.
hardware: i510.06 (what is this)
model number: gummy charged GBE 2.1 (is this the rom?)
Firmware Version: 2.3.4 (any name for this?)
Baseband Version: i510.06 v.ep4, SCH-I510.EP4 (what do these mean?, any name?)
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-EP1 (is this stock?)
Build number: sch-I510.ep1
is this stuff safe to post? and what do all of these mean? is this the place to check. because is see people using rom and theme and kernel and all sorts of vocabulary which i looked up but i am still very confused.
Thanks

So uh, what exactly are you asking us here?
Kernel: A piece of software that lies between the hardware of the phone (or any other electronic device, but were taking phones for now) and the ROM. The ROM uses this to communicate with the hardware and make it do it's bidding.
ROM: Main OS of your phone. Everything you see on your phone is part of the ROM, even apps use commands from within the ROM.
Theme: Literally what it says-a theme replaces some parts of a ROM to make it look different. Must be designed for a specific ROM.

This stuff is safe to post since it contains no personally identifiable information.
Hardware version: denotes the hardware revision of your device. I have not seen anything other than i510-06, so it is safe to say there is currently only one hardware version, at least in public.
Model number: usually sch-i510-this is the actual device number used by Samsung to identify the Droid Charge. Same across all charges, however this is editable, and in your case has been modified by GummyCharged.
firmware version: 2.3.x is Gingerbread. The last digit denotes the revision of Google's Gingerbread SDK. 2.3.6 is our most current version.
baseband version: describes your baseband/modem (controls data) version. EP4 is the most current.
Kernel version: exactly what it says. Usually will not be able to distinguish between stock & repacked/custom kernels unless changes are made to build.prop. Most current is 2.6.35.7-EP4
Build number: denotes the "build", or version, of the ROM & baseband. Most current is EP4, has been EP1 and EE4(Froyo). There's one more build that I never remember because no one cares about it.
Oh god, my thumbs hurt bad now.

[Q] EVO 4G OTA Problem

Looks like I am all jacked up. My friend accepted the OTA while using my phone now I lost free WIFI hotspot. Here is the information on my phone. I have looked everywhere to try and get it back but my information doesn't match up with the toutorials and I don't want to brick my phone. Every app i try that is made for rooted phones says my phone is not rooted. Can anyone tell me how to roll back or re-root my phone so I can get the hotspot feature back??
I would have no problem resetting and putting my phone all back to stock and starting all over but I have no idea on how to do that.

[Q] HTC One S: Surf during a call

The issue I'm having is that as soon as a call comes in the data connectivity drops. I noticed it on the Maximus ROM and thought it was a ROM issue and thus switched to the September version of the Viper ROM. Alas, I'm still having the issue. Is anyone familiar with this?
I was just wondering if it's a ROM issue, location issue or something entirely different. I read that the original TMobile ROM allowed for surfing during a call but I had the phone less than a day before I got rid of that ROM. Therefore, I don't recall whether or not I was able to surf the web during a call.

Baseband is your radio

If you have HBoot lower than 1.09 then u can update your radio to latest US T-mobile at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907016 then replace build.prop. All these are in the link.
