Question about new ics radio etc

In the dev section, their is a rom called OnceICS, to install it says "flash new firmware" (this apparently updates radios etc) my question is....whenever I flash a non ICS rom, then flash back to ICS, would I have to flash the "new firmware" everytime? Or once their updated....that's that?
Cheers

I far as I know you should keep the new hboot and firmware. I flashed the new firmware and had ics but went back to my fav gingerbread rom and still have same firmware.

Hi,
The firmware,like the radio,is flashed,and then remains on the phone ,no matter what ROM you put on.
I work with ARHD ROMS ,and people who keep the firmware(and radio) updates from ICS,find that they work well with Gingerbread ROMS.
I would imagine it is the same for you.
Once you flash a firmware or radio update,it will stay on your phone until you change it.
It does not change,when you install a new ROM.

Look for the thread on here called Shipped ROM Collection. Look for your carrier's / locale's RUU and run the executable. It will return your phone to stock.

download the 1.17 firmware and flash it, then flash a radio like 10.58.
sorry, i have just found that i cannot upload my file to mediafire, dev-host, ul.to, or any other website like them...damn it.
i can upload now...

So as you may know that unofficialy Gingerbread ROMs are ... How To Unroot procedure for your device, you can use that to get back to stock.

Same here. I am trying for about two days to find any solution. Is it anywhere, or must I drop ICS ??? :-(

Viber is not compatible with ICS (yet).

Yes you can restore a Nandroid backup of GB. Although you HAVE to have a compatible version of the Firmware and and appropriate Radio.
To make sure do a superwipe, certainly won't hurt.

Sense 4.0

Hi there,
This has been a weird reoccurring issue I have with my Sensation. Everytime I flash a sense 4.0 rom my phone keeps rebooting for about 10 minutes and never fully boots. I've tried 3 different roms and re downloaded them several times. So this is bbecoming annoying. All help is appreciated. I have hboot 1.18.00. 4ext touch recovery. Went from stock rom to sense 4.0. Phone keeps rebooting. Used revolutionary. Please help. Thanks.

You need to make sure you have the correct firmware.
Here is the latest firmware you need just follow the instrutions

Yes if you do not have the correct firmware you will get boot looping. Ics or 4.0.3 Rom require 3.32 firmware, GB or gingerbread roms require a Different firmware. So if you want to run ICS please update to 3.32 firmware. This will solve the problem. However if you want to go back to GB for any reason the firmware must then be.changed Again. I have 3.32 so I just stay with ICS roms.
Hope this helps.

I was on like...1.27 and it flashed just fine. It should work on 3.32 and 3.33. Try and flash again the Rom, wipe first thoe. Hope I helped

I think you should only have problems if you use a newer android version on a older firmware. The firmware has some type of backwards compatibility in them but roms can become buggy if you uses a older firmware.

To update the firmware put the pg58img file on root of sd card,boot into bootloader by removing battery, place battery back in, press volume down sand power at the same time, the device will recognize the update and ask to proceed, volume up for yes. The device will then update and reboot.once fully rebooted REMOVE the pg58img file from the device or it will continue to update ! You now successfully updated the firmware! It will be successfully updated. Hope this helps you.

if you are checking the version thru Softwarw Information in Settings, the version is hard coded in the build prop.

Known issue. Ignore it. As vernon mentioned, it is in the /system/build.prop file if you really want to edit it to change the number.

What radio are you on now. If you have 11.76a you have 3.33, unless you flashed the radio separately in the past.
Are you trying to flash leedroid tweaks or something?
I'm using Insertcoin Evolution 2.2 now and am having a great time.

Same issue
I had the same issue with my sensation. I reflashed everything. I Flashed arhd 6.7. With beats and it works quite well now only issue so far is mobile Internet Speed. I'm reading through all the forums because usually every issue has been addressed and solved somewhere on this website. This is one heck of a Site. I'm going to try to do my part the best I can

I got the same issue that indresh88 said in the first post.
And i've also tried the fix that Echo237 suggested.
So.. i'm now with fw 3.33 with stock ICS rom and i've also flashed the root and tried wifix manager from the market.
Nothing is working. WiFi won't turn on, just remain with the message "Activating Wi-Fi..."
Any idea about what i can do?

try going back to stock again by using flashing a different ruu I have 3.32 and its with sense 3.6 it my work for you at this point its worth a try and keep it on stock for a while and monitor the WiFi but before you flash the ruu make sue you relock your device and then fastboot OEM writesecureflag 3

Man don't give up what is needed is the steps you went through before flashing the ruu and after I my self have downloaded 5 ruu's and I was only able to flash two out 5 but I figured out how to do it and I manage to flash the old ruu that comes stock with the hboot 1.17 and then I s off via alpharevolutionary installed 4ext custom recovery installed super su and then did a back up and then upgradeed my hboot to 1.27 and then up graded my firmware to 3.33 then flashed my new custom Rom done and set running smooth as silk and no reboot's or shut down's

The question is how did you s off with revolutionary was it through flashing the the ruu that contains the hboot 1.17 and then s off via alpha revolutionary or did you use another method

Okay this is not what you want to...keep this as a last option but, if nothing works out...go to the HTC customer care...I'm pretty sure Surat has !
I had gone to the customer care when I had this problem and didn't want to root then but I rooted eventually which solved the problem as they kept saying "kaale aavjo, today our server is down so couldn't download the firmware"....the guys won't ask for money. But just say that this happened only after ics don't circle around.
