Hi all,
New to sensation, and I'm going to be a bit cautious and ask before royally messing up...
Going for ARHD and I'm looking at firmwares. My cid and MID do not match with supported devices listed. So, what is the likelyhood of a brick if I edit the files to include my id's? Would it be better to force another id on? Is it possible to change the MID in fastboot at all?
Currently rooted and have necessary recovery and gingerbread ARHD.
THANKS!

Hi,
When you did s-off,did you do Super CID?
Is your phone S-Off and SuperCID?
You can check if you're are S-off by booting into recovery, and you can check if you're superCID by using fastboot in the terminal.
Code:
fastboot getvar cid
This command will return 11111111 if you are SuperCID.
If you want to flash 6.0.X you need to install new firmware, the PG58IMG.zip package. You want "Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU"
make sure to check the md5sum of all packages and follow the instructions for all the roms diligently and you'll be ok.
Don't want to superCID? Use the firmware in my signature I have added most to supported devices

Thanks all,
I have supercid'd and made the leap on the firmware and.....
6.0.3 is running. Not great, Im getting random reboots/shutoffs, odd BT issues...
hopefully when I get the suggested radio to flash it'll be sorted. The one on the ARHD thread will not flash for me doing it the way in instructions or manually in fastboot.

Hi,
The suggested radio is included in the firmware update,so you already have it.
Check: Settings>about phone>software information>more>baseband version.
It should be 11.65.3504.00U_11.19.3504.29_2

Here is the ics firmware from the leaked ics Ruu. Big thanks to rcteam. Ruu is a beta release so flash this at your own risk.
Rename to pg58img. This firmware is missing system and recovery.IMG, but will update the other partitions. Once flash restore nand or reflash Rom once update is complete.
http://db.tt/HMWF5RaX
Edit: So I downloaded this package to make sure that it works and is not corrupted. It is not corrupted.
Here is a md5 you can use to make sure that yours is not corrupted either.(believe it should be for all other downloads)
md5 checksum: 147CBA54E2B4756B5CA76AD8B0350CE3
after flashing read third post down.
While flashing the pg58img and you get a model wrong id in the middle of flashing you need to supercid. Link to supercid. Someone in mikes thread reported that you can supercid while in hboot 1.20.xxxx
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Thread to mikes thread if you experience in problems, trouble, or to report feedback.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
Another note, difference between hboot.
1.20.xxxx, 1.19.xxxx, 1.18.xxxx will have locked at the top, to unlock you can htcdec unlock it. There is no performance difference between any of the hboot including eng hboot 1.17 shipped or revolutionary. As mike stated most user will be fine with hboot 1.18.xxxx-1.20.xxxx as they do not use fastboot write commands and they can just flash through pg58img files.
But for others if you want fastboot commands you can flash eng hboot back 1.17.xxxx
Link to ziggy's post if you want to eng hboot (1.17.xxxx) back
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20681060&postcount=22
After flashing, dzdata will delete userdata so you will have to reflash rom or nand backup. YOU WILL STAY S-OFF FROM FLASHING THIS AND ANY OTHER HBOOT!!!!! This has been stated many times in numerous thread and I believe everybody is getting tired of answering this.

It's not the ruu. It's the firmware inside for those who don't want to go through the process. And this won't upgrade the system partition or recovery.

Since s-off stays (right?), are there any disadvantages to keeping the updated hboot and just unlocking it via htcdev? Or is that even possible? I wanted to try the new radio, but I read that it's unstable unless you keep the hboot.
Ok considering people May have bricked their device in the other thread....anyone successful in flashing this let us know....I'm not going to risk it until I know It's safe

Heh. This thread and one of the other reaction threads to Steve007's firmware zip really made me do some searching and learn a bit more about the different kinds of bootloaders. That said, all of a sudden I'm not so brave to flash this right away lol.
Sucks what happened with the other firmware package though. Really bad timing.

i just did that yesterday and it worked
only difference that i flashed the rom.zip extracted from the ruu
i deleted the recovery image incase the new hboot locks the phone again
i then restored my backup and voila
the weird thing is my bootloader says 1.20 and unlocked at the top !!! any ideas
i didnt try flashing another hboot as i would like to keep the newer radio which is a little better than old 10.58
other than that ICS works way better with it`s own firmware
This bricked my S4G last night. Steve's zip may have been bad.

It needs Qualcomm QPST or a Jtag to recover. I'm exchanging it through T-Mo for warranty. I think he posted a corrupt file with MD5 sums, so I verified MD5 sums match to a corrupt file and flashed, leaving me with a paperweight that won't even turn on.
Flashed it last night, i knew at the time i should have removed splash1.nb0 as my custom splash with "property of ....... my email, brothers phone no was replaced by stock HTC splash
RCMix ICS rom definitely running better with this, did the HTC dev unlock but couldn't get fastboot to flash my custom splash so used PG58IMG to go back to older hboot, everything seems fine with old hboot and new radio
Flashing firmware from anything other than a release RUU is just asking for a brick. I couldn't advise more strongly against it unless you're already considering buying yourself a new device and need a potential excuse.

YUP,Listen to that guy.I learned that the hard way.As i sit here looking at my $500 paper weight I wish i waited for feedback before i flashed the zip
EDIT: Just to be clear i didn't flash the zip posted in this thread.It was another firmware file posted by someone else in the dev section.

only disadvantage is losing fastboot commands. flash hboot 1.17 through bootloader like how you would flash this package. Since all the partitions are updated you should be fine in running any hboot with the newest radio.

Hi all,
I searched everywhere and read everything about this, but it seems to be a little confusion yet
I would flash the new Sensation XE ICS RUU, but firstly I have many question:
1. I didn't do Super CID on my Sensation (regular, not XE, not 4G), must be done? I'm already S-OFF with Revolutionary.io tool and I can flash whatever ROM do I want.
2. If I doesn't like anything can I return back on 1.17.1111 HBOOT?
3. What are the requisites before flashing?
4. IT IS SAFE?
5. Anyone flashed that? Can you tell me some tips or perhaps warnings?
Sorry for being noob. I repeat: I read everything in this forum, but before flashing I want to make sure of everything twice.
Hello, I'am new in this forum: I have htc sensation xe, full originally, S-ON....ecc..
also I too am still confused:
1)Can I try the ICS Ruu with htc sensation xe S-ON?
2)If what is the procedure to do this?
Thanks in advance and sorry for being noob.

I don't think you can only "try". Maybe once you flash that RUU you can't reflash older RUUs back.
I'm not sure if you need super Cid completed. I have done it, since in the flashing forum, it is one of the steps to follow. I believe it is needed to flash rims to do with different carriers.
When you root your phone, go into clockworkmod recovery and backup your rom. The you can flash ics Tom and return to yourl original if you wish.
That is what I did. The ice roms. Are fairly laggy atm, so I revert back. Hope this helps

If you are on a Sensation (non XE) then yes you should need supercid as you are installing a rom not of your carrier. Here is the way you can test. Download it and try to flash it. It will not let you if it has a CID issue then you SuperCID.
2 - Yup just flash the hboot from an earlier rom
3 - Check this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414243
4 - Yes and no. If you mess up doing SuperCID you have a chance of bricking your phone but if you follow the instructions you should be fine.
5 - I haven't but across ARHD, Virtuous, RCMix, etc I have seen many who have and are up and running.
So I that I can try the sensation XE ICS RUU without the super-CID and with HTC sensation XE original and witouth root(S-ON)?
Then to return to the starting point (Android 2.3.4 and sense 3.0 original ) just reinstall the original RUU(RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed) from here:filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/?
thanks in andvance
If you are S-ON do NOT - under ANY circumstances - flash the RUU
If you do you will NOT be able to downgrade to a previous RUU as you won't be able to S-OFF your handset. You will be stuck with it until such time as Revolutionary works with the new HBOOT (if at all)
You have been warned...

Hey guys,
any ideas on this.
I used the PG58IMG.zip with the new firmware update for only the hboot and radio. The hboot was flashed, i'm now on "locked" 1.20.... but the radio "11.." wasn't flashed. Now i'm having issues with some dialer stuff and net connectivities. So my guess is i need to flash the new radio file.
The thing is i can't flash the radio anymore. fastboot won't work on this new hboot, and i can't use the PG58IMG files anymore.
When trying to use a PG58IMG file, i'm getting the cid error.
RESOLVED:
fastboot cid commands still work on hboot 1.20, just get your phone into hboot, and try supercid, this worked for me.

i'm switching between all options, but it is known that hboot 1.20... doesn't support fastboot yet, so that's something else.
for now i'm back to gingerbread, but i really liked ics, let's hope somebody will find a way to use fastboot on 1.20...
give it a try put downloaded zip on root of sd card go into bootloader and phone should see file and flash.
this is just what i have read on the ICS firmware thread.

yeah it sees the update, it's trying to auto install, can't choose yes or no, it's just scanning for the PG files and when it's trying to install the zip file it stops with a incorrect cid error.
install complete ruu (released by rc team), that'll install everything including radio, after that install any custom ICS rom you like, i found this method safest.
be sure to super cid your phone.

Here's some advice. I was having the same problem you were. What I realized was that I was unable to check my cid or use fastboot options because I was running a ics Rom which breaks fastboot. I'm tmous and my cid wasn't in firmware by default. So after trying to flash the update I ended up with the updated hboot 1.20 that said locked (supposedly just says locked but really isnt) I kept reading every page of the firmware thread and I found someone who added the tmous cid to the firmware update and posted a drop box link which worked like a charm. I reflashed that one and now I have new radio and firmware and my phone is much smoother. Hopefully this works for you as it sounds like exactly what I went thru. Going to go find you the link now

Dear All,
I just S-off and rooted a HTC Sensation 4G the cid when it was S-offed and rooted was cidnum: T-MOB010. I have as a newbie had wiped my original stock ROM but I do have a backup. From what i read from the forum adb tools require you to setup the phone in USB debugging and change to charging mode. Right now I do not have a ROM installed. My question is , is there anyway I can change the CID to superCID so i can install any ROM. I'm trying to find ROMs to work on my htc but still no luck. I was wondering whether if I superCID'd it then i would have a better chance. THanks!
Don't think you can. You must use ADB. Sorry
Can you suggest a ROM for me if possible so at least I can install it and then change the CID. I was looking over virtuousrom where there is support for t-mob010

You need to SuperCID via ADB tools.
You can run the ADB commends required even if you do not have a ROM installed as it uses fastboot.
You do NOT need to have SuperCID in order to install and use a Custom ROM.
What does your Bootloader screen say at the moment ? As in have you still got GB compatible Firmware or ICS compatible Firmware ?
As the person above me said, you don't need to boot your phone in order to supercid it. Do what is said here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and skip steps 5,6,7.
And to install a rom, you don't need to supercid... just install the firmware it asks you to install and then, install the rom. I'd recommend ARHD 6.3.0, get the firmware package for your cid from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 (just be sure to take the 3.30 one) and follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1471941
P.S. Any rom is compatible with your CID as long as you have the right firmware package I think. (Just wait for someone to confirm what I'm saying, because I'm not sure)

Any custom ROM will work with any CID, assuming compatible firmware and radio. You need the "appropriate" CID to install RUUs. For example when I first got the phone the first thing I did was to change the CID and install a generic European RUU to debrand it.
EDIT: compatible firmware relates to the HBOOT version and has no relevance to the CID itself. There are compatible firmware/radio combinations. The appropriate Radio is included with the ICS firmware packs.
Note: If you revert back to 1.17 HBOOT for GB ROMs you'll need to flash an appropriate Radio. There is a thread in the dev section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178143
The reason there are so many CIDs mentioned in the firmware thread, is that many CIDs seem to have popped up for the Sensation and many folks didn't SuperCID. The reason in that thread for so many installs for groups of CID versions of the firmware, is that there appears to be a limit on the number of characters in the section that checks the CID. ALL the firmware downloads are the same (for the same HBOOT version), they just do different CID checks. If you're SuperCID and of them will work. I hope the explanation isn't too convoluted.
Does anyone know that if I can change the CID of my sensation z710a with ADB WIFI as the usb port is not working?Thanks.

i assume the only thing you have to do is upgrade first your fw version to 3.32 and then to3.33

read it carefully
then you can flash stock ics rom from here

edit:using the official stock you mean ruu
if yes it will bring your device into completely stock situation but you will still have S-OFF
about fastboot do you have adb and fastboot files installed?(sdk tools)
also have you installed htc drivers?
about that ruu do not be afraid.as far as i know it will abort the installation if it is the wrong one for you
but you do not have that kind of problem because you are S-OFF
YES

ok ill try to find htc drivers then, i am about to ask an extreme noob question,
i am very confused if i have the sensation TMOUS or not (4g or not) is there a way to identify it
is t mobile your carrier? tmobile = tmous, or tmobile ,usa. as i understand it. also when you go to settings, go to about phone, look where it says model number. also when you purchased your device did they say it was a sensation 4g?either way in settings it will tell you what you have regarding your model. hope this post is helpful to you. best wishes!
