[Q] Radio flash with the method like on Desire HD? - HTC Sensation

Hello,
I would like to flash a newer radio version on my Sensation and in the folder with a radio is a guide identical like for Desire HD:
1. Connect your phone into a PC, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled
2. Click "Start here". A black command prompt window will open
3. Type: "adb reboot bootloader"
4. Once your phone is in bootloader (white screen with text), type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
5. When the flashing completes, type "fastboot reboot"
6. Done. Enjoy!
It's also written that the phone must be ENG S-OFF, but in the guide to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on, there's nothing mentioned about ENG S-OFF.
Can i flash a radio in this way desrcibed above?

Yes, you can.

Revolutionary s-off is the same thing, for all intents and purposes, Eng s-off.

Well yes...but you also can just copy the radio image to the sd card, reboot to bootloader and simply press volume up (maybe down, can't remember) to flash. But it does it all for you.

Fastboot is preferred by many because it's safer.

[Q] Can't flash radio with S-off, not with sd or cmd

Hi there i am trying to flash my radio but it doesnt work. I am trying to flash Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 because i am running [ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.0 XE and this radio seems te be the best way to work with this rom.
in hboot it says:
pyramid pvt ship s-off rl
hboot-1.17.008
radio-10.11.9007.15_M
eMMC-boot
if i try to flash using this guide:
Requirements:
- HTC Sync
- A Windows PC
1. Connect your phone into a PC, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled
2. Click "Start here". A black command prompt window will open
3. Type: "adb reboot bootloader"
4. Once your phone is in bootloader (white screen with text), type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
5. When the flashing completes, type "fastboot reboot"
6. Done. Enjoy!
it says when i am typing fastboot flash radio radio.img, writing 'radio'failed (remote not allowed). Does anyone know how to solve this? I googled myself crazy but there is not really much clear information for the htc sensation. And does anyone knows how to make the sensation eng-off?
If i copy the zip file to my sd card and install itit reads the file but it shows an error and wont istall the file either, so this way also not works for me. If anybody has a solution for my problem it would be very welcome, thanks.
shouldn't hboot have .000 at the back ?

To use the FASTBOOT FLASH RADIO command, you either need to have an eng-hboot or the Revolutionary HBoot in place. The standard HTC HBOOT does not support remote fastboot commands.
One reason why trying to flash the zip file from your SD card would fail in HBOOT is because the radio zip file has a version that is lower than the one you currently have installed.
thanks for the replies, i managed to get my phone eng s off and then i could install the radio i wanted, so problem fixed.

[Q] HELP ? SuperCID

So i finally decided to root my phone. i rooted it and got CWM recovery and well i tried updating the firmwire to ics so i can flash an ics rom. and when i updated the firmwire it said cid error update failed. I rebooted my phone but it was stuck on bootloop. i assumed that the firmwire update went through since my phone would't boot up. So i went ahead and flashed the virtous rom and now that doesn't boot up either. i found out that i had to SuperCID first before i flash the ICS Firmwire. But in order to SuperCID my phone has to be On The Home Screen Wich i can not do since my phone is stuck on bootloop >.< ! Help ???

You are soff?
Did you have fastboot/adb setup?
Can you go into bootloader and post the hboot, radio, son/soff status.
(to go into bootloader remove battery... Put it again then press volume down and power button together... You'll get a white screen.. Post the details from that..)
First of all if you used PG58IMG.zip for firmware update then either remove the file from sdcard via a card reader.. Or just boot into bootloader without sdcard in your phone
sent from my blazing fast pyramid through sonic waves
You can either superCID or add YOUR cid to the firmware file.
Either one is pretty simple. I'm going to assume that you have adb set up already, but if not you'll need that first.
SuperCID:
remove or rename PG58IMG.zip from sdcard
reboot into bootloader (power+vol down)
from adb/fastboot directory:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
put PG58IMG.zip back on sdcard
boot into bootloader again and let flash complete
Edit PG58IMG.zip:
extract the zip file
locate the android_info.txt
edit the file with notepad++ to add your cid matching the format of the others listed
compress all extracted files into a new zip and flash

You need to go to fastboot from hboot screen use volume up/down buttons to browse through menu and use power button to enter it once you've selected fastboot.
Then connect your device to your pc
Your phone should read fastboot usb.. Once you've done this
Now go to you pc and
Type fastboot devices
If it shows your device serial number then good its connected
Now to SuperCID
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
This will do.. Make sure it has eight ones
Then after this you can update your firmware using the pg***file you got

You can use the tool from my signature. It has option for SuperCID.
Please read through the instructions before running the tool.

Can someone walk me through what's needed to root/recovery/custom ROM with 2.00.0002?

I've been searching around for hours now trying to work this is and, as always happens here, the information is a mess and disparate.
Is anyone able to link me a good walkthrough to do this? I'm not new to rooting terminology generally but I am totally new to the Desire S.
HBOOT is as above, S-ON, 2.3.5.
Thanks.
There is a nice thread for beginners and others in the general section. Also there is an INDEX thread in the Development section. All the info you need is there. Only some info that you may not find explained in this guides:
currently there are 2 ways to achieve what you need:
1) unlock with htcdev.com (but stays S-ON)
2) S-OFF with the Revolutionary tool (only older bootloader supported - 0.98.0000 and 0.98.0002)
Option 1 will give you the ability to flash custom recoveries, kernels and ROMs. The cons of this way are as follows: you are officially agree with HTC that you are voiding your warranty. The kernel has to be flashed via fastboot or in other words you need a PC each time you want to flash a new ROM. Going this way also means that you cannot change your radio and bootloader to another version (not that there is a reason to do so...).
Option 2 will give you a completely unlocked device with the ability to flash anything you want on it, but to get it you have to downgrade your system to a supported by Revolutionary exploit. And the need to flash the kernel separately is not present here (IMO it is the main advantage)
I hope the above is clear enough and after making the decision of which will be your method the detailed steps can be found in the guides I have mentioned in the beginning.
Good luck

I've got it set up now on Ubuntu. The issue now is that the phone won't go into USB debugging mode. It just doesn't. I need it to do so to give permissions to ADB and to use ADB commands in general.
It's set to go into that mode in settings but just won't, any ideas?
For reference: ./adb devices see my phone when connect (ZTE Blade), albeit without permissions.
EDIT: also, probably unrelated, the HTC GPS goes haywire all the time. Opening itself without prompt and interrupting everything. It does it every time USB is plugged in too.
EDIT 2: also maybe unrelated but the phone cannot turn off.. holding the power button simply turns the screen off.
Edits may not be relevant but you can see why I'm so desperate to root this phone.
EDIT3: I managed to get the 8 digitis required for the device thanks to going into Fastboot via the bootloader but ADB still won't find it.
I am following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921169
The main issue does seem to be the phone refusing USB debugging mode :/
This sounds like a real mess. I would suggest another approach. Since fastboot is working you can check your main version and use a RUU. And your phone will be like new again

There are exactly 3 downgrade tutorials in the index thread about that
Sent from my HTC Desire S
For rooting my device i found this step. I have read a lot and have adjusted this steps to my needs... Maybe you or someone else can make profit off it.
1. to not avoid warrancy ( Dont use htcdev unlock!)
2. download adb tools http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595
3. install htc sync for drivers then disable/uninstall htc sync. (windows)
4. check your phone software and hboot version on boot menu (GUIDE LINK)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186401
5. downgrade to oldest RUU with hboot 0.90.xxx something if don’t want use htcdev unlock
1.28.401.1 RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
above ruu is only fore unbranded europe phones... YOU may need a different one!!!!!!!!!!!
6. to do this it depends on software on phone.
if its new like 2.11.xx-> use tacoroot guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443636
if its older like 2.10.xx use the zergrush guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399331&highlight=zergrush (deze heb ik moeten gebruiken)
7. use revolutionary guide to S-Off And root ( this is possible only in oldest version of original RUU).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186401
http://revolutionary.io/
8Update hboot naar eng hboot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679338
9. install 4ext recovery touch. do your backups.
We're going to install EXT4 recovery. But first download ''4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5.zip'' and extract the recovery.img file to the folder where you installed fastboot and adb. If you followed the tutorial in step 1 the folder will be ''C:\android-tools''
Now make sure Fast Boot is turned off on your phone. Go to ''Settings > Power > Fast Boot'' to turn it off. Unplug your phone from your computer, it's time to turn of your phone and boot into your bootloader.
Press Volume Down Button and Power Button at the same time to boot into recovery. Now connect your phone to your computer and select fastboot.
(Power button to select, Volume Down/Up to navigate)
Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
Type:
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [press enter]
EXT4 recovery is now installed on your phone. Turn off your phone in bootloader menu.
EXT 4 later updaten naar: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377745
10. download preferrable custom rom. Copy it to SDCARD root.
11. Flash custom rom. ( GUIDE LINK )
How To: Flash Custom ROMs using Recovery (Method 1)
(You can use your default recovery from Revolutionary tool but I recommend using 4EXTRecovery)
1. Copy your custom ROM "zip" file to your SD card (Root directory).
2. Turn off your phone.
3. Turn on your phone by holding the power button and the volume down button together.
4. Once you see the white screen, choose "Recovery"
5. Make a full wipe/format and clear all cache.
6. Choose "install from sdcard/zip file" and then choose your Custom ROM zip file from your SD card to flash your Custom ROM.
Optional: If you want to use 4EXTRecovery, just flash it like you are flashing your custom ROM(Step 6). Just do it before you flash your new ROM.
.
12. Enjoy and have a beer!
-when using Win7 you can start CMD in specific folder (avoid 5-10 cd's or long/path/to/folder) by holding shift+right click/open command window here)

It will be like you just bought it (and the hboot version will be the same as now). It will erase your data and apps so better make a Google sync and some backups.
Then reboot the phone to bootloader: power it off completely, then hold Volume down and press power. Still holding the Volume Down button release the Power button after several seconds.
When in the bootloader connect it to PC and make sure that you see FASTBOOT USB written on the phone screen.
Then open command prompt (you said that fastboot is working so I assume you know hot to use it) and type:
Code:
[B]fastboot devices[/B] - [I]your serial number should appear[/I]
[B]fastboot getvar version-main[/B] - [I]the output [B]should [/B]be 2.10.401.8[/I]
[B]fastboot getvar cidnum[/B] - [I]the output [B]must [/B]be one of these: HTC__001, HTC__E11, HTC__032, HTC__203, HTC__Y13, HTC__102, HTC__405, HTC__N34, HTC__304, HTC__A07, HTC__016[/I]
IF the you have the right output download RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe
Run it in Windows while your phone is connected in FASTBOOT USB mode as described above.
After RUU finishes your phone should be completely stock and if your problems are software based they should be gone.
IMPORTANT: the above is valid if you did not attempted to unlock the phone via htcdev.com or flash any RUU or other stuff. If you did then some additional steps may be required
Good luck
The problems persisted through the reflash :/
It did go into debug mode ONCE earlier today before I flashed it but it was short lived (and the laptop overheated and shutdown so the connection was lost :/

Help Required - Stuck and splash

Greetings.
This is a long (and sad) story, take a breath..
Me and my wife both have Sensation for over two years.
Mine is Revolutionized s-off etc for a very *VERY* long time...
Her Sensi was stock till some stock apps drove her mad and a couple of months back I got it HTC dev unlocked, with 4ext, but JB method for s-off (with the wire trick) was giving me a hard time, so I just kept it s-on and tmp rooted, killing some stock apps.
Now the mess begins.
After some complaints that it's slow and gets stuck, I wanted to add some nice kernel to the pack - Sebastian's.
Since it's s-on, I picked "SmartFlash" BUT completely forgot about USB-Debugging...
So flashing the kernel made a whole mess, and it's stuck on splash. Also fastboot-usb is impossible as the usb-debugging is off.
I know.. I know.. RUU right?
I'm on Linux - which makes running RUUs virtually impossible...
Nonetheless, I extracted the rom.zip out of an ruu_pyramid_le_ics_35_s_htc_asia_wwe_3.32.707.110_r2_radio_11.69a.3504.00u_11.23.3504.07_m2_release_254511_signed.exe I had around, renamed it PG58IMG.zip - and with all the joy put it on the root of the SDCard.
The phone's CID is HTC__044 and it matches the one in the RUU rom (asia wwe).
But.. hboot, while taking its time to figure out what that PG58IMG file contains.. does nothing at all once it process it.
Current situation - I restored my wife's backup on my phone, and gave it to her, leaving me with.. a semi-brick.
I could not find an RUU for 3.33.707.51 which was the version on the phone prior to this fiesco, if you know where to get it - please let me know..
Other than that I know this is solvable, as I am able to get into recovery and hboot, but how?
Phone details:
HBoot 1.27.0000
CID HTC__044
4ext recovery touch
Firmware 3.33.707.51
Radio 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M

Why fastboot usb is not possible? Usb debugging is not at all required for fastboot command access
Do this
Extract the boot.img of any rom which has sebastian kernel as default (elegancia rom i think?)
Then copy it to your adb/fastboot folder of your pc
Then boot your phone to bootloader (remove battery, reinsert it then hold volume down + power button)
then connect the device to your pc (as your pc is linux.. It's more easy now.. No need to fetch drivers and all)
When connection is proper the phone says fastboot usb.. If it says hoot.. Press power button once
Then this command
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Updated my phone from Gingerbread to Kitkat now stuck on loading screen!?

Hi I had a struggle yesterday because I know nothing about phones so I followed a guide to updating your phone, so I did it through bootloader/recovery and after installing the custom RUU it actually worked, but after loading up on the screen it shows instructions and shows that it's loading the page/phone and i thought maybe it was but it's been like that overnight so is there anyway around this? (I can get on the power off menu with restart etc but thats about it I cant x off the instructions or anything telling me the updates to the phone)
We need more info.
What guide you follow?
Bootloader info?
Hboot?
HTCDev unlock S-ON or revolutionary S-OFF?
What recovery you use?
Did you wiped all except sd?or just installed zip from sd card?
And what RUU you used(post link)?

I just read about [ROM] [02-06] Primo-S - v4.1 [HTC One V port] Android 4.0.3 [Kernel 3.0] and it works fine on HTC Desire S.
First of all it's rom not RUU. if you want to know difference read tutorials and guides here.
You have HTCDev unlocked bootloader and installed 4ext recovery.My recommendation is to flash new 4ext recovery first(touch one) that I uploaded.

To do this follow step 3. in [Guide] How to root, install EXT4 recovery and custom ROM on HBOOT 2.00.0002 just use recovery.img from attachment down here.
And now for your problem.From what I know this is common problem on S-ON HTCDev unlocked phones.
After flashing new rom you have to flash boot.img from fastboot.
First open your PrimoS-v4.1.zip then you will see file boot.img.Extract it to C:\android-tools.Get in boot by holding power button and volume down together.Connect USB and enter fastboot. (fastboot usb)
Go to start->run-> type cmd and press enter. A command prompt will now appear.
(just like step 4 in guide)
Type:
Code:
cd c:\android-tools [press enter]
fastboot devices [press enter]
this show if your phone is connected to computer
if you get nothing you are not connetced
if you get some info like ST9212IJKL then you type
fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter]
you will see blue loading form in right upper corner of screen
very fast but that mean you flashed boot
When all this done reboot phone and you should get your rom started.Sometimes it takes up to 10min but no more then that.
If you don't get in like this then you have to go to recovery and wipe all except sd and flash rom again and follow step 4 in guide.
Try this then tell what you got.Good luck.

I just read about [ROM] [02-06] Primo-S - v4.1 [HTC One V port] Android 4.0.3 [Kernel 3.0] and it works fine on HTC Desire S.
First of all it's rom not RUU. if you want to know difference read tutorials and guides here.
You have HTCDev unlocked bootloader and installed 4ext recovery.My recommendation is to flash new 4ext recovery first(touch one) that I uploaded.

Hi thanks for the reply I did a few things earlier just messing about on recovery mode and it's sorted and it didn't even wipe my phone I still have all my contacts and stuff maybe they were saved on my sd card idk but yh works perfectly now cheers for your time and help.
Hi,
I had the same problem at the beginning as I was unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV.
If you unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV, you should flash the boot.img manually with fastboot to get it fixed.
1). Switch off the phone and trun it on to bootloader and go to the fastboot
2). Connect the device to the pc and connect it with fastboot (CMD)
3). extract the custom firmware (.zip) file and find the boot.img file
4). copy it to the location where your fastboot.exe located at (ex: C:\sdk\platform-tools\)
then flash it with
HTML:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Hope this help you
Regards..
