Hey, this is my first post here guys, finally got a cell phone after going through school procrastinating the hassles and fun. Ended up getting the HTC Sensation from Bell Canada, because the Desire Z is now discontinued (September 2011).
What I want to know before I start following the noob's guide to S-OFF and root, is does anyone have an Original RUU ROM for my version?
HTC Sensation - Bell
Android 2.3.3
HTC Sense 3.0
Software 1.34.666.1
Kernel 2.6.35.10-ge52b0af

Baseband 10.46.9007.00U_10.12.9007.01_M3
Build 1.34.666.1 CL79935 release-keys
Browser Webkit/533.1
Model HTC-Z710a
I see many roms in the ROM list, 10.43, 10.42, 10.56, etc, but none for my 10.46.9007 baseband... Does that mean we're dealing with a new version here or has anyone had problems flashing it before?
There may not be one for your specific provider but the WWE unbranded editions will work fine if you need to run a RUU just make sure you do the Super CID part, and take a backup of your phone after installing CWM.
If you keep a backup of your stock bell software somewhere you can always restore then flash the stock recovery, from there if a OTA update comes up you can flash it and return to complete stock.
Thanks! I found how to do the ClockWorkMod backup, and it's saved in a safe location now. Thank you for letting me know that the unbranded editions will work fine in case of an emergency.
Oh and in case anyone is wondering, xl VipeR lx's guide to S-Off and root worked flawlessly with my Bell HTC Sensation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Nandroid doesn't back up the radio, in case you didn't know.
Download this to go back to 100% stock, radio and all:

I have a unbranded HTC sensation. I recently did a OTA update and my wifi is not turning on....i did a factory reset as well but no luck. So I want to flash it with the original factory ROM. Can any please tell me how to do it and also where to find the original ROM.
Current Phone details are as follows
Kernal Version
2.6.35.10-g9cef70d
Baseband Version
10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3
Build number
1.35.707.1 CL84734 release-keys
So I just got the LG O3D from work(its a work phone). Its on my local carrier's GSM network(GCI(Anchorage, AK)). I saw that I would be able to root and unroot using superoneclick but how would I restore recovery after I install CWM or something. I just came from 2 HTC phones (Desire CDMA and Hero CDMA) and I had a hard time restoring the Desire to stock as I didn't have an RUU to use.
In my internal SD I did see a recoverybackup.img is this a stock recovery that I can use to restore? Or would I need to get a recovery from an RUU or OTA? Can I back up the stock recovery from my phone?
This is a little off topic but just like the CDMA phones I had as long as I have my APN for internet and mms I should be able to use any of the custom roms right?
Here is the info off my phone
Model Number: LV-P920
Android Version: 2.2.2
Baseband Version: L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Build number: ULTIMOBILE-O3D-2.2.2-GEN-110911-1.1
Software Version: LG920hAT-V10a-JUL-16-2011
I see you have p920h phone.
I have this firmware for p920h(i think it is unbranded)
DOWNLOAD V10A_01.kdz
You can flash using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18082599&postcount=1
Make backup 1st and try
GCI
I have a galaxy s2 that had that ultimobile firmware and after flashing I have to restore my APNs... except I cant on ICS. GRRRRR
I have some troubles with my PowerButton (it's stuck in "pressed" state) and I now need to send it to service. Unfortunately I'm running around with Revoultion and S-OFF, and because of S-OFF my warranty does not exist. So ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201773 is a very nice tut, buuuuut
point #9 If it is recognized, then download your official RUU, please get the same/similar version that came with your phone.
this is pretty much where I am stuck.
I bought it directly from vendor, i.e. no carrier branding, in Europe (Slovakia). Is there ANY way to find out what should I use from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
Also, what should I particulary keep in mind?
ROM version
Modem version
Bootloader version
those 3 numbers?
And afterwards - when I go back to stock, S-ON, will I get notification for the update to latest "official" version?
Is there ANY way for the service guys to find out it was ever S-OFF/custom ?
http://vi8.info/HTC-Sensation/
try this site for the EUROPE RUU + stock recovery + stock firmware + stock kernel
My partner and I both have SIIs, both on Tmobile UK contract. While hers zips along with full connectivity mine never goes to H, only 3G and after a while drops out completely, no signal, and will only connect via WiFi. Also touch sensitivity is lessened.
We took it to the Tmobile store (who failed to let us know it was ready!) but its the same, only wiped.
After some googling it seems the update which was applied automatically, had files missing making the radio (connectivity) not function properly.
Cant roll back and so Im stuck with a hampered handset. Our only options are to sell it for a pittance or root it and put another ROM on. But SIIs can be tricky as you have to match the ROM to the kernel!
Here's its details:
Model number
GT-I9100
Android version 4.0.4
Baseband versionI9100BVLPE
Kernel version3.0.15-I900BVLPH-CL969772

Hi!
I am not an expert, I just want to give you my advice.
I also have an S2 and I have rooted it the first day it came. So I suggest you rooted it and apply an official ROM.
OR you could donwload any 4.1.2 from SamMobile and flash it through Odin. (as it is official, you'll get no yellow triangle or counter)

Thanks, I have rooted phones in the past but with the SII you have to match the ROM to the kernel. You cant just use any ROM it seems.

Hi
I flashed my sensation to ARHD 6.8.2 when I got it last August. Recently I have had problems with 'no service' and 'no sim installed' so I flashed to ARHD 7.2 with SebastianFM kernal. I have found that when connected to web the 'no service' problem has gotten worse so I think I should maybe flash to the UK vodafone radio to see if that helps. I originally bought the phone in Spain. I think it was originally locked to Vodafone Spain but was unlocked when I got it.
I'm just not confident to work out what I should change. Do I need to flash the RUU and RIL? I'm not developer and a bit of a noob but I can follow instructions without problems. I did manage to root, S-OFF and flash a ROM so just need the right information which is where I am counting on you.
My CID is 11111111
Radio 11.24A.3504.31_M
My setup is
ARHD 7.2 XE
ICS 4.0.3 / SENSE 3.6
Kernal: 3.0.16-v1.5.2 SebastianFM #1
Build 3.33.401.154 CL391535
Browser version: WebKit/534.30
What is the correct 3.33.x build for Vodafone uk? Can I just flash that over what I have now without causing conflicts? Or do I need to flash a different radio?
Please help!
Thanks!

Hi,
I am not sure a RUU will help.
2 things you can try.
1. Lift off the back cover.
At the bottom of the phone there are 2 gold pins for the radio.
GENTLY lift them to make better contact.
2.Get a new sim card.

Hi
I already tried the pins approach and my sim card was new in January. Could the sim really be a problem only 3 months old??

Hi,
Go to the market and find the app called "Getril".
Run it, and see if there is a better radio/RIL combination for your phone.

Thanks for that tip on the app. I ran it and it says the RIL is unknown which is understandable as the ROM I have is only a few months on the market.
So no real step forward.
This morning when I switched on my phone after a full charge it was saying 'no service'. I rebooted it and it had service. Could that be the SIM or is it a hardware/software issue? Is there a way to debug the phone to see what is causing the signal loss?
I need to get this fixed as I need to be obtainable by phone as my wife is pregnant and going through some problems. If the phone is buggered then fine I will get a replacement but if it is a simple software issue that can be rectified then doing that is preferable.
Another thing I noticed...when I have no service and I switch to aircraft mode and then back again it says 'no sim installed' so that is without touching the sim nor removing the rear cover.
I think I read somewhere the 3.33.x build for vodafone uk is something like 3.33.161.x whereas I have the universal 3.33.401.x
What is the difference? Is it the branding?
What is DisH for vodafone UK for?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28316588&postcount=1111
Hi,
That disH is for GingerBread roms.
The difference in numbers is just a minor update.
Where did you get your current radio from?
Hi
I don't remember if I changed the radio when I first went to ARHD 6.7.2 or whether it came with the ROM (ARHD 7.2) or whether I have not changed the radio. I think it came with the custom ROM
Is it the correct radio?

Hi,
Your radio is not quite the latest.
Go to the radio/ril thread in the Dev section, by stempox
You can get the latest 11.29A version.
Read the instructions carefully.
I'm all up to date now. Thanks for your help everyone.
