[Q] about hboot and ICS

Dear friends, I am about to install ICS and have read a loft of materials about it. But I have some questions that I couldn't find. Could you please guide me on that.
1. It is required to install a new firmware v. 3.24 in order to run the ROM. Then it is recommended to install new radio. Does firmware include new radio and if not what does it include?
2. As far as I understood new firmware updates hboot making it version 1.24, and it is written in the forums that only 1.17 hboot is unlocked. Could you please tell what difference does it make? Why can't I use fastboot in new hboot and why do I need it for?
3. If I make a full backup of my system does it revert everything back, or hboot and new radio is not the part of a backup?
4. I also have read that if radio and IPL do not match it could brick the device. How do I know what IPL I have and how to match recommended radio with IPL?
5. Once more could you please tell what components does new firmware include and why should I update the firmware in order to run ARDH 6.1.0?
Thank you for your replies, as I'm not doing anything until I clearly understand what I am doing.
Mikhail.

Newest ics. Puts boot up to 1.27 unlocked which means it gives you advance fast boot commands which allows you fasbiot flash radio and splash screens etc. Etc. Same goes for 1.17
Also yes newest firmware does put new radio in

Can't answer all but remember, if you update to hboot 1.27, say goodbye to GB roms as they are not supported on hboot 1.27... You have to stick with ICS roms in future... You can't revert back but that i am not sure about...

You can go can go back long as your super cid

Could you please tell how can I go back and if new firmware updates radio, how can I revert it to the original state?

It that right if I say that new firmware updates new hboot and radio? Or there is something else that the new firmware includes? I also a bit confused what all mean by "firmware" because in wiki it means the ROM + firmware and kernel.

Yes it does look at your current hboot and radio once you update to firmware 3.24 you will have hboot 1.27 and radio 11.x. x. X when I mean firmware I mean the pdimg that is needed to flash new ics roms

[Q] **PLS HELP!!** how to get back the phone?

I was trying to upgrade the stock rom on my HTC Sensation to revolutionary ICS. Ran the superwipe script and it removed everything from the phone. the phone refuses to boot now. Is there a way I can get my phone back?
I am downloading this stock ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1226085.html but don't know how to put it on the SD card?
Any help will be much appreciated!

You can boot into revolutionary. Go to mounts and mount usb storage. Then you should be able to copy the rom to the SD and flash it from there
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App

If all else fails and providing you can get the phone to load the HBOOT screen you can try flashing the latest RUU from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408961
The file should be run on your PC with the phone connected. You would then of course need to reinstall a custom recovery program again, but that's simple with 4ext recovery updater from the market. Then you can flash the ICS custom ROM of your choice.

The ROM in the link provided says Europe. I had a TMO_US, sensation 4g.
will make any difference/problems using the phone in US? sorry for extremely noob question but just wanted to be sure...

it didnt work because you probably didnt flash the new firmware update. if you want to boot ics roms you have to upgrade

You need to flash the latest firmware that's compatible with ICS 4.0.x. Find the thread in the development section, download the PG58IMG.zip and copy it to the root of your /sdcard/. Reboot the phone into fastboot/bootloader. The phone will detect your PG58IMG.zip and ask if you want to flash it. Use volume+ to accept the upgrade. The device will reboot once during this process. Firmware upgraded, old ROM's will now bootloop, ICS roms will work sexily.

Thanks a lot!
Actually, that's what I got after posting the thread and looking for a stock ROM all night. I have that ROM now. Can't get through the update process though. Downloaded the update, hit Yes, Install now, phone reboots but stays on the exclamation mark screen. Any suggestions please?

should i even worry about the update?

I wouldn't worry, at least your phone is up and running again.
Please make sure you know what you are doing if you are going to try different roms, etc

Would anyone mind if I ask you to direct me to the appropriate firmware and ROM for ICS? the current hboot here is 1.17.000 and the s/w version is 1.45

Have you gone through revolutionary to S-OFF the phone ? IIRC the Revolutionary HBOOT is 1.17.1111.
IF YOU ARE NOT S-OFF GET S-OFF FIRST.
Assuming you are S-OFF then look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 Read and re-read the information there.
The 3.12 version (HBOOT 1.23.0000) supports GB and ICS, this is what I'm using as I also want to run CM7.
The 3.24 version (HBOOT 1.27.0000) only supports ICS
That'll get you ICS compatible firmware and radio.
As far as ROM is concerned, take your pick, I'm using Virtuous Inquisition but there are loads there.

[Q] Cant flash Coindroid rom or any rom !!

Hi All, hopefully i am in the right place.
I have been trying to flash a CoinDroid_V1.5.2 on my Htc Sensation (not a 4g) which is locked to Telstra (Australian telco)
My specs as follows:
Android version: 2.3.4 (ginberbread)
sense: 3.0
Software number: 1.45.841.5
Hboot-S-off: 1.17 (phone is rooted)
cid: 11111111 (i changed the cid using information ive founded on this website)
midG5811000
4EXT Recovery tool installed as well
radio: 10.14.9035.01_m[, tried to flash to radio 11 but the phone kept restaring itself after 5 minutes, so i downgraded it, working fine now.
I have download a file called Android revolution hd super wipe, also the PG58IMG image file, everything that you might think off, but still does not work
I have tried to install the coindroid from the 4EXT utility program, selected coindroid 1.5.2 and started to flash, everything fine so far, but when it finishes i restart the phone and does not load up the rom, it keeps rebooting itself everytime, i have also tried using a different rom called Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.6.4_XE and the screen gets stuck on the beats audio, does not go further than that.
Phone is rooted, s-off working, clockwordmod, 4EXT utility loads up as well...
I dont know what i am doing wrong here, can someone help me out here?
I have also tried doing this method in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
Which basically unlocks your phone, tried it and the phone was unlocked but all my apps and configuration was gone, so went back to the s-off to restore(which did not load the 4ext) and tried to restore my stock rom from s-off, hoping that i can still use it with the phone unlocked. Did not worked at all. It was a miracle that after trying to install the coindroid and failed again, the 4ext when back alive again and i was able to restore the stock rom which works.
Can someone tell me please, what i have done wrong?? i have followed all the necessary steps and yet cant flash any rom
Thanks to all for helping the new newbie

Hi,
Regarding CoinDroid, most links are broken.
Re-download and verify md5 sum.
Alternatively try OrDroid.
Same developer and as I see almost the same rom.
And update hboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656867

You didn't follow all necessary steps. You gotta flash 3.3x.xxx.x firmware for ics. Your 1.45.xxx.x firmware you have now is for gb. That's why it wont boot.

This could be also my problem, however my phone boots fine.
Unfortunately I have no idea where to verify the firmware version. Could you please advise?

Settings/about phone/software information/software number. Ics roms will have 3.xx.xxx.xx software number and gb will have 1.xx.xxx.xx. 3rd post down in sensation general forum will have all the info about firmware that you need. You gotta flash firmware that matches the rom you want. You just download it and flash it before you flash the rom.

For me that's OrDroid 6.0.0...

thank you

Also, if a flashed the firmware to ics, can i still be using the normal stock or i have to flash it as well?

According to your first post your cid is 11111111 (supercid). You should be able to use any one of the 3.32 firmware. Your rom has to match the firmware.

yes, it's 11111111

Yes, i downloaded an app called CID GETTER, before i flashed, it said that my cid was TELST001, but now shows 11111111.
My stock rom wont work if i flashed the new Firmware, because it gingerbread and not Ice cream sandwich? Is that correct? Sorry for repeating myself, i just want to get it right.
Regarding the CoinDroid_V1.5.2 or the Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.6.4_XE, they all shall work once i flashed the new firmware because booth are ICS, right?
Thanks mate, i am actually downloading this Firware: cidnum: TELST001
from the website you gave me.
What you reckon?
Ps: Should i update the radio too? or the new rom will update it for me?? This is getting annoying!
Ps1: Once i download the file(firmware) should i flash it trough clockwork recovery or EXT4 ? I am not sure about that.
Thanks for all the helpers out there.

Flashing Firmware Updates both the bootloader/hboot and radio too.. So you need not worry about radio and all
After you flash this firmware tou can't run your current gb rom. As it's not compatible.. And only ics rom runs.. So after flashing the firmware flash the coindroid/ordroid rom and then you are good to go
Now regarding firmware flashing.. It will be PG58IMG file.. so the method of flashing will be different.. Please for instructions/steps on how to flash the firmware please check in the thread from where you downloaded. The steps are given there

Thank you so much, it's all clear now.
I have to flash the firmware (anyone in my case due that my sensation is supercid) Using S-off
Flash then the superwipe for the sensation
Flash the Rom that you like
And that's my problem come, i dont know which rom to start with
I have narrowed my search to this 3:
Coindroid v 1.5.2 ( I read that it's quite a good one)
Ordroid v 5.02 (I have not seen any videos on youtube with the looks of it)
Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.6.4_XE (A good choice as well)
From this 3 roms, which is the latest one? And which one is the one that will work out of the box without you trying to fix either the wifi or something like that
Thanks to all for their responses.

Coindroid and ordroid are same.. I mean coindroid became ordroid.. So ordroid is like an update to coindroid.. And basically these are sense 4 ported rom's.. So they are bound to have some issues.. I heard hot spot and Bluetooth are not working properly.. In OP of the thread the bugs are mentioned... So if you want to try sense 4 go for that
The other one ARHD is pretty stable... This comes under your out of box scenario also INSERT COIN comes under this case...
I'm using IC now and I'm pretty happy with it
Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves

So you're running clockwork mod recovery while using the 4ext recovery utility? Before updating use the.utility to flash 4ext recovery, if you flash ordroid there is already the option to superwipe built in when flashing. Be sure to flash 4ext

flashing radio.

hey there. Just another noob question:
How can I find out what radio am I using? Can I flash the PG zip archive in recovery just like I flash the kernel? If so, do I always need to do that when I install roms? Is the radio included in the rom? I think of it as like firmware or recovery, you have to flash the lastest when it was released and that's about it, it does not get wiped when you go to format all parititions, right?
How about firmware? Can I flash this too in recovery? Thx.

To flash firmware you place the pg58img file at the root of sd card , then you boot into bootloader by pulling battery putting battery back in press volume and power at the same time, it will recognise the update and ask to continue press power for yes, let it update them REMOVE the pg58img file from your card or it will continuously try to update the file! I remove mine by pulling the sd card and put in a card reader and delete the file. Delete it how ever you want just make sure you delete it ok. Then your done. That's how you install firmware. Hope I helped.

Hi,
To check radio, go to:
Settings/ about phone/ software information/ more/ baseband version.
Radio gets installed with the firmware.
It does not need to be flashed with every ROM.
Yes, it gets flashed in recovery.
It does not get wiped when you wipe the partitions.
Be very careful when flashing radio or firmware.
Always check the md5 checksum
If you flash the wrong one, or a bad one, it will brick your phone.

So i can flash firmware in 4ext right? If it is wrong... should i get any warning message? Thx

Hi,
Yes, you can.
What firmware do you have, and what firmware do you want to flash?
Sent telepathically from my pyramid

Hi to flash firmware I usually put the firmware on the root of my sd card and flash from bootloader by pulling battery putting battery back in, pressing volume and power at the same time, the device will recognise the update and ask to continue, press power for yes. Once it's updated don't forget to REMOVE the pg58img file from the sd card or it will continue to try to update over and over . So when its finished just delete the file of your sd card. I use a card reader to do this. I just pop out my sd put into card reader and plug into computer and delete the file then put card back into device . But if you don't have a card reader its ok just delete the file however you can. Then your good to go. Hope this helps some . This is how I do my firmware. Best wishes.

I have also pushed the Boot.img from each rom and updated to Faux latest kernels but none of this seems to solve the wifi issues

As long as the radio starts with 11 (11.24A, 11.76A etc) it is ICS compatible
I would still update to the latest radio (11.76A) available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202867
And then do a full wipe of all partitions through 4EXT (don't use superwipe, causes problems) and reinstall ARHD.

[Q] Stock HBoot to replace JB HBoot

Hello all,
So finally, I have managed to S-OFF my phone using JuonoputBear (I never get this spelling right!). Downloaded the latest version for Ubuntu and can't believe I only did the wire trick once and it was done.
But anynow, to my surprise, the JB tool went on installing the JB hboot itself. Initially I thought it would ask me to install it or not and I would refuse it but... it didn't even give me the option. So now I am stuck with the JB hboot which I dont want.
So the questions is, is there any way I can revert back to the stock hboot?
Thanks guys, all your help made it possible for me to S-OFF my phone.
Regards

just to know that with patched hboot you are fully unlocked and you can use all fastboot commands
i don't find a reason to return to official hboot

Thanks for the reply. The reason I wanted to go back to stock hboot was that its highly unlikely that I would be using those extra fastboot commands. Besides, I dont like the Juoponutbear logo on top of the hboot.
Also, now that I am S-OFF, I am kind of gone sensitive to installing any ROM. I intend to install Android Revolution HD ROM but I dont want to flash anything wrong on my device like Radio etc. I only want to flash whats need to run that new custom ROM. I guess that doesn't include the kernel as I already have ICS stock ROM.
Can anyone point me to the right direction? Where I can find the steps to install custom ROM without any risk of flashing something wrong?
Thanks.

Hi,
There is no way you can "Accidently" install a radio.
You are not in bootloader for any length of time normally,so ,it should not matter what is written at the top.
That is just the way Juoponutbear operates and leaves it's mark.
It is the only way to s-off for you,so ,you are stuck with it.
Unless you s-on again.
As for flashing ROMS,put it on the root of your sd card,choose zip,install zip.
That's it.
EDIT:
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
If you flash Kohr-Ah's Universal 3.33 firmware,does it say Universal at the top?

Is that all? I thought that once you have flashed the zip package, you have to extract the "boot.img" from that zip package of the ROM and flash it separately?

Hi,
That is the beauty of s-off.
No separate flashing.

Sorry I had to come back on this one. I was checking the Android Rev. HD thread and in the download section it said it is necessary to flash new firmware package before flashing this ROM/ And the firmware package also contains radio flashing.
Since I am on Stock ICS at the moment and my firmware is 3.32. Do I still need to flash my firmware?
