Yes, eventually to Sense 3.5 (2.3.5) and then awhile down to the road to ICS (hasn't been confirmed, but I'm pretty sure).

Well I tried the Sense-o-Maniac 2.3.5 sense 3.5 rom and I didn't really like it I guess cause I didn't notice anything different. Other than some bloat removed and beats audio which I loved! But I watched my phone go from 100% to 95% in 10 minutes of just listening to music....Dont Know why though....I would like to know what are the best roms that any of you can advise me to try that is good on battery life and get quite a differnet kick out of it if that makes sense

I haven't tried a Sense ROM if you're looking for that. CM7 is pretty different from any sort of Sense ROM but people have some mixed reviews on the battery life. It's been ok to pretty good for me, but I have an extended battery and I underclock/undervolt and use a custom kernel.

You could try Leedroid 4.0. Works great MIUI is awesome too. I personally use kernels from Faux but you could use stock kernels or kernels from Bricked too.

Ok problem I followed the steps to turn s back on and now its stuck at the boot loader screen i tried the following pull out battery and re-insert due to the security warning and then tried to re-run ruu.exe well everything went fine except one small thing signature error 132....so now my phone is stuck in the damn bootloader screen where i can pick boot loader reboot etc.....what do i do? Please ANY HELP?

Extract the ROM.zip from ruu rename PG58IMG.zip, put on root of sd card, boot to hboot and, when prompted, yes to flash.

Thank you alot. I downloaded a newer ruu and it worked. I am now s-on and factory 2.3.4 is there any way to flash sensation xl factory Rom without root? Just by using ruu?

as far as i got it is your phone a 4g and u want to flash xl ruu ? at least u need supercid for that and dont nail me on that answer but i think u need root for supercid

You need to elaborate a little more if you want some assistance.
Do you have s-Off?
What is your baseband number? That will indicate what radio you have and will give others an idea of where in the process you are.
Assuming you made it far enough in the process to get s-Off, you can just flash the ota stock ROM by attn1, which will have the OTA radio in it, if it turns out you are on the downgraded ROM/radio.
If you have anything other than the stock kernel/ROM on your phone, then the rooting was at least partially successful. You probably just need to get clockworkmod recovery installed correctly so you can install custom roms.

Yup, that looks like the downgraded radio the hack kit leaves you with.
S-Off basically means you can flash stuff. "Security off"
So as Gene said, you're partially through the process. You just need to get a good ROM/radio on.

You have an incorrect root, that happened to me. You need finish all the steps, when i did the root guide the software failed and the sound dissapeared. After push the software (to get root) and the root was successful, i recovered the sound.

Just flash it eith rom i had same problem i use attn1 method i flashed with rom coredroid and all is fine

Now that you are basically rooted there is not necessarily an easy way to get back to plain stock.
It can take a while for the average user I believe using the s on tool... but considering I do not have all of the info I will let someone else answer your question in full.

Go back to h boot, if it says "Ship s-off on the very top of the screen you should be all set. Make sure clockworkmod is installed. if not download rom manager from market and flash cwm through rom manager. Next go to the development form and find attn1's stock OTA update with radio. Download the file to your computer, place it on the root of your sd card. Make sure the file is named PD98IMG.zip, turn off phone and boot into h boot, when it says apply update? Press vol up and watch the magic happen. Also make sure there is no other files named PD98IMG.zip on your sd card as this will cause trouble. You will still be rooted with s-off but that's ok, I mean your were already trying to root, just cause you lost sound doesn't mean you should be afraid of rooting. Once you fix your problem and get a good handle on things, you'll be in love!

No, you can not. Because the radio isn't updated, you have the half of the steps.
You need finish all the steps of the root guide to have root and the sound working.

[Q] How to go back to 2.3.x from ICS firmwares?

This might sound like a stupid question, but I really hope it is not.
I decided to test the waters with ICS and tried a couple of ROMs (Sense and Virtuous) that run the latest version of Google's OS. Sadly, in my opinion ICS is still not fully ready for our devices, as everything seems too slow in my opinion, and I also don't like the fact that we do not have access to some of the best kernels yet.
So, I decided to go back. Flashed a 2.3.x ROM and... I got a boot loop?
I made sure I was not making a mistake, so I wiped everything and tried again. Same issue. Wiped again and tried a different 2.3.x ROM and again, I got boot loops.
Then I decided to go back to ICS Virtuous Inquisition and everything worked.
Is this a known issue? Do I have to do something in order to return to 2.3.x? For example like flashing a previous firmware/Radio combo?
I would appreciate any help you can give me.
I have done it a couple of times. Once on my Droid 3 and again on my Galaxy tab 10.1. So it will depend on what you have. But in both cases. I was able to find an original ROM update. With the Galaxy tab I found it on the Samsung website, that took it right back to original condition, and with the droid 3, I found it hear in the forums.
I did it too. I didn't back up my ROM. But if you back up your ROM in the future, you wont have this issue. I'm still careless and don't back up my ROM, but I don't go backwards to often.
What Phone do you have? There can be other options as well.

I'm having the same problem. I get to the HTC logo then the phone reboots indefinitely. I'm trying to learn on downgrading the firmware and see if it solves the problem.
Yes, you'll need to downgrade your HBOOT.
If you have supercid, or a T-Mobile handset, this will take you back to 1.17: (I used it myself to go back to a GB rom after trying out ICS) http://www.mediafire.com/?4t9pep3e5hx6ljm
Rough instructions on how to flash it if you're not familiar: Rename it PG58IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard, and boot into the bootloader. It will ask you to flash the file, choose yes and let it go.
And of course, you can then restore any nandroid backup of a GB rom, or install a fresh one, etc.
(if you're not supercid, just edit the android-info.txt file inside the zip and add your CID)
p.s. don't worry about downgrading the radio; I went back to a GB rom without downgrading the radio and everything is fine. Just downgrading the HBOOT is enough.
Downgraded to 1.17 and it still reboots, though I did a restore instead. I'll a fresh flash now.
Still doesn't work. How do I get to 1.23 again? I'm so confused now.

Use the 3.12 firmware and you can run both ICS and GB based roms, I run, CM7 (GB) and V Inquisition or V Quattro (both ICS).
I'm surprised you didn't like ICS, they're all alphas but pretty slick considering.
Yea man try inquisition from virtuous. Its extremely stable and able to be used as a daily. It feels like a finished rom.

Downgrade ur firmware and flash any gb rom.
(Hopefully) my last question. I have SuperCID (set to 11111111 as specified in that other instruction topic). Does this mean I can flash any previous firmware and even downgrade? I was not aware that this is what it does.
If I revert back to 1.17, will I lose S-OFF and have to repeat things?

Well, either I am extremely picky (which I am), or I did something wrong. But I do not consider these ROMs 'pretty slick'. I have owned far too many Android phones and tablets up until today, and given the dual-core CPU and advanced GPU inside Sensation XE, I was expecting the fastest, best, most fluid and slick experience yet, and... it does not deliver. I thought ICS allow the OS to use the second core, but again, something must be wrong because it certainly doesn't feel like it.
I am not saying that the experience is bad, by any means. Things are slick and fluid most of the time. But you do get occassional split-second hicc-ups, and I also have this 'feeling' that the framerate while moving around in Nova is below the best I have seen. So there you have it.
Many thanks is in order to all that helped.

[Q] cant s off (hboot 1.27)can i root?

Hi all
I was hoping to change the rom on my sensation running (OTA) ICS with Hboot 1.27.00 but failed at the first hurdle of S Off.
obviously after searching i realise that i cant S Off at the moment so have decided to hard reset my phone ( it had a few issues)
when i first got the phone i temp rooted it and then used bloat freezer to get rid of the bloatware.
Since i have a bit of a wait for a S off method is it possible to root it or any other way to get rid of the bloatware?
thanks

ohh yeah...it seems requirement is HTCdev unlocked bootloader and root to device....so you need to get a recovery for that...
do the HTCdev unlock
and then try to flash 4EXT recovery from this thread (try the latest one 1.0.0.5 RC2)
4EXT recovery
its an app...just install the app onto your device and then install it
if it fails...then flash recovery using this image
dropbox link
keep the recovery image in your adb folder ,then go to fastboot mode and flash the recovery
command to flash "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
once you got recovery you need to follow step 3 of this guide to get root...
then follow the steps in SOFF thread
thanks guys
wish i hadnt had the ota update now!!!
seems its now much more complicated.
when i have a few hours ( maybe a day since im such a noob) i will git it all a go
or maybe wait for the revolutionary to become available
thanks

You could try Unlimited or read more about it here.
HTCDev unlock is all you need for root and custom ROMs, if you don't like the look of S-OFF, you don't need it.
Im kinda new in sensation bought it 2 weeks ago so please dont blame me for asking All I want to know is what kind of benefits is giving us s-off if we still can install custom roms with same firmware as official ICS? I read here on xda that it unlocks some commnads but no-one said which one exactly :/ Since most of the roms are on newest firmware (official one) it looks like it has almost no sense to do s-off if u dont want go back to ginger roms am I right?
sab3r
i was thinking the same
what i would like to do with my phone is to get a stable custom rom that gives me sense 3.6 ICS and the overclocking to the xe spec.
I know the best option is ARHD and if s off is of no use to me then i guess i could go the htc dev route. its just having decided to hard reset the phone and realising the complete faff i dont want to mess around too much.

I agree but as some tutorial said you can install recovery and root without s off all u need is just htcdev unlock so going forward you can install every android 4.0 rom The problem is that the version of firmware has to be 3.32.xxx.x (ICS update OTA) but as for as I know most of the 4.0 roms needs that anyway :]

Yeah you are right but when firmware gets updated... It's a problem again... Also not all people got ICS.. For them soff is required... In your case yeah HTCdev unlock will do but at the cost of your warranty...

Ofc if they dont have ICS they can still use rev method and remember that the newest s off method still needs HTCdev unlock that means u lose warranty anyway :]

[Q] Sensation died whilst in use, won't charge, won't switch on.

As the title states, I have a possible brick on my hands, the phone isn't mine and the person who uses it doesn't really mess with overclocking and such, it was running Miks rom GSM, and not overclocked (running at 1.18ghz) No overvolt either, it is an s-off device, before this it was a fully functional sensation.
Basically what i'm told is that the phone was in use and it just switched off.
No lights, no power, have tried three batteries, about 10 chargers, different usb cables, can't get to bootloader or recovery, adb won't recognise it, it appears to be just a dead phone, personally i'm guessing it's the mainboard but i thought i'd ask anyway, there are no signs of water damage or major droppage.
Popped over to dexters unbricking project but as i said the phone won't come on so it won't work.
As i said before it's not my phone, but i'd like to do a friend a favour if i could.
Any ideas?
Before anyone asks, I cannot get to the bootloader or recovery.
Many thanks.
Hope you get it working..but it's becoming quite common and no one seems to have any ideas. Mine did the same thing...and I just had the motherboard repaired!
Yeah, here is the other thread.

On such a popular Rom it is a bit unsettling.
Is it firmware, radio, kernel, or rom?
I hadn't seen this many Sensations die like this back on Gingerbread.
I am not sure...seems to have happened on a few different ROMs...so maybe it's not a specific ROM? I just got mine back and rooted and S-off as I needed the root to unlock the simlock...but I am scared of installing any custom ROMs or radio etc....I am thinking maybe I'll just wait for the official t-mobile ICS update...

I'll be starting a thread to determine just that... I have my suspicions, but I'd like to know in one place what everyone was running.
I was running ARHD 6.6.2 Just flashed the ROM.. and seem to flash fine, able to boot up. Even reinstalled all the apps...then while calling...had this long tone from the phone...and phone was unresponsive...I pressed power button.. and it turned off.
The first time..it actually turned back on....so I thought maybe it's an issue with reinstalling the apps. Then when I called again...after 30sec-1 min...same tone again...then phone turned off and never turned on again...Battery was 100% charged.
I updated the correct firmware since I was already using insertcoin ICS ROM for a while before changing to ARHD 6.6.2
I am scared of installing a custom ROM now....I have rooted the phone again, S-off, Clockwork, superCID....but I am thinking maybe I should just wait for teh official update for ICS and leave it as that.

Change your CID back to T-MOB010 and you can...
FWIW, what kernel were you running when it took a dump?
I didn't install any custom kernel...I just installed the firmware as suggested.. and also the radio file that ARHD page says we should flash for T-mobile phones....
then flash the ROM as usual. Everything worked...the phone died while running the ROM.
So I need to change CID again to do OTA update? It's ok to leave it rooted, Clockwork, and S-off? Maybe I shouldn't have changed to super CID then?

You can leave it rooted and s-off (in fact you WANT to keep s-off), make sure your stock rom is un-modified, and you need to go back to stock recovery. If you leave superCID then it will not detect the update. It needs to refer to CID to find the correct update package for your device...
I haven't modify the Rom that's on here now. So stock recovery means removing clockwork ? And changing CID...is there a tutorial to do that?..

But is it a HTC problem or a flashing custom stuff problem?
I don't know what I should do now...if I should just wait for ICS update...but now I'll have to remove superCID and somehow flash stock recovery or something

Sensation WiFi and Bluetooth issue

Alright here's the issue...
Ok so my brother had my rooted HTC SENSATION S-ON with CM9, and he was longboarding and txting (bad combination...). As it results, obviously, he fell and desintegrated the screen, but the phone was fully functional before. Couple of months after the incident, before fixing it, i took it out of the drawer i had it put away and turned it on, and earlier that day i had found a very stable cm10.1 rom for it so i went ahead and installed it because wifi and bluetooth was functional on it. After i do so, i try to turn my wifi on in the innitial Google log on and on the screen it said "Turning WiFi on." and i waited about half an hour and nothing, so i skipped it. When i went into the settings app i tried turning bluetooth on and the switch went back to off instantly. And i went online and did research and saw a guy that just pulled the bluetooth and wifi connectors for the antenna up so they would actually work, and i tried it, but no luck... I also tried flashing the boot.img for the current rom, but also didnt work. So i thought it might have been the rom since it wasnt fully stable yet, so i did a full wipe and re-flashed the currnet rom and re-flashed the boot.img but no luck. So i downloaded a stable release of cm9 and did full wipe and installed the boot.img for that version of cm9, but yet again no luck... So i re-installed the cm10.1 Albinoman build and lived on 4G so far... i need help on re-enabling bluetooth and wifi....plz help im desperate
P.S. I think this might have to do with the incident of the screen, but i dont think its hardware related...anyways im going to have the screen replaced this monday, so wish me luck
Try formatting all the partitions except for SD card and then reflash the ROM.

tried that already
Which recovery do you have? If you don't have 4EXT, you need to get flash it, otherwise, you need to s-off your phone

Yea i got 4EXT and i always use smartflash when flashing anything at all
Hmmm... what is your radio version and hboot version number? Try to obtain s-off, and then flash firmware 3.33(i think it has a different radio that might fix your problem)
Also, make sure that you s-off before flashing 3.33 from bootloader.

I cant read the version due to the dead chunks on the screen but i should have it fixed in a couple of days. I preffer not trying to s-off since i find that too complicated, but in case i had to do so, would i have to do a full wipe?
No, a full wipe is not required for s-off.
You can go to "about phone" in the settings to find out about your radio version. It should be the baseband numbers/letters.
Also, which kernel do you have? Flashing another kernel might solve the problem.
Try flashing this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36216263

i took it to get fixed and they fixed the screen and tried to fix this issue but couldnt and told me
it was a motherboard issue and that it was broken, but i highly doubt it because everything else works
perfectly fine, although i tried the kernel (Sultan) and it didnt work...still got that same issue
Well, did you get s-off on your phone? I think the only way is to fix your radio (flash 3.33) but you need s-off for that... Other than that, I have no idea.
BTW, did you try stock ICS before? If yes, how did it go?

hi, didn't see anywhere that you mention your android version, if it is 4.2.X, don't try to turn the WiFi on, rather go to advanced WiFi settings and select a region code in there, whatever you liked. but in case it is 4.1.X then Install WiFix Manager while WiFi is off, and reboot your phone.
good luck. :good:

I did try stock ics, even resetting the phone to stock but no luck. Though i might not want to s-off, finding
that the process is pretty complicated, i yet do not have the knowledge to understand.
