Simple and easy! relax. heres what you need to do:
1. U must be rooted and s-off which I assume you are, right?
2. Do superCID, It is very easy and simple. Scroll down here and follow instruction on #4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 Just download the adb tool, make sure you have htc synce installed in ur PC cause you need the HTC drivers and make sure your phone is plugged in as charge only. Also make sure you check usb debugging in settings.
Then basiclly follow the steps in # 4 .
3. Now after all that is done, it is time for the Firmware. Simple, download it from the posted link. Copy it and paste it into the root of your SD card. So you go computer >> Removable disk and paste it there. Now turn off your device. Then Boot your device holding power button + vol down button and you follow the screen just say yes! it will do itself until its done. Now shut ur phone down and removed the SD card. Plug it to your computer and removed the Firmware from your SD card. Then put the SD card back in phone, Boot your device holding power button + vol down button and do superwipe and then flash your ROM!!! you all set!! Again "Make sure u remove Firmware from SD card when its done installing or else you will end up in bootloops"!
Ejoy!

thank you. 2 more questions:
which firmware should i chose and i can still run gb on them ?

Virtuous inquisition runs on the 3.24 firmware(I believe, haven't checked the thread in a few days,) so I would flash the 3.24 firmware. Firmware 3.24 and above isn't compatible with gb roms though, so you'd have to flash older firmware if you wanted to revert to gb afterwards. Hope I helped

And that's the reason why you should have SuperCID first, so you can downgrade back to GB ROM.

If you're that much of a n00b then you shouldn't do ANYTHING until you know what you're doing. What if something goes wrong? Do you know the RUU to use to get back to stock?
Search and find the answers as knowledge is power!

I'd tend to side with Eddyos on this one. Flashing the newest firmware does give you ICS but it also complicates your life because it is more difficult to go back to GB. Personally I'm waiting for an actual official htc released ICS rom before I make the jump, GB does everything I need and want and doesn't give me any problems at all. I see you're on cm7 right now, have you tried any of the 3.0 or 3.5 rom's yet? If not, I'd give those a try first before jumping into the firmware upgrade and ICS, but it's all up to you in the end though, weigh the benefits vs the issues and decide for yourself if it's worth it.

I agree with ^^^^, flashed the ICS firmware on my phone, and while i like alot of the new functionality and visual look of it, it is definitely not complete.
Give it a few weeks and then make the move

Lol thats a bit harsh. A noob must learn by experience.

[RUU] Official 2.31.651.7 in ZIP Format, Flashable from Fastboot

As the title says, here's the Rom.zip extracted from RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.31.651.7_signed_release.exe for those that don't use Windows, or prefer to have their RUU in zip format.
This will flash your phone to 2.31.651.7 STOCK.
http://www.mediafire.com/?m6x4sr682ruk027
Simply rename this to HERCIMG.zip and place on the root of your SDCard.
Power your phone completely off.
Press and Hold VOL DOWN and POWER until your phone boots into HBoot mode.
Wait for it to verify the zip, then click <ACTION> (Trackball) to update, or <SEND> (Green Call) to cancel.
Enjoy!
Here's my guide to rooting .7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804296
Personally..I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I have spent the last four hours searching for this. This needs to be stickied. I'm bookmarking it for sure. This got my phone unbricked..I thought all hope was lost and I would have to call in for warranty support (I got mine refurbed through Sprint last October..so I don't even know if I would still have any warranty support), and see if I could try my luck and getting it replaced, since that is what others have said to do as apparently this file from OP, did not exist.
And so for future reference, so that others don't go mindlessly searching through the forums.
If you
a.) Managed to overwrite your Recovery some how or completely delete it. (I did..and from searching this and many other forums over the past couple hours..I can see I wasn't the only one), and also have no boot (or a corrupted boot loop)
b.) Still have S-ON (You can find this out by powering off your phone and then pressing and holding the power button and the lower volume button), I recommend you turn S-Off for future reference if you're going to be dealing with customer ROMs a lot (so you don't have to go through the hell I just did..). See here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759955
c.) Have an updated Hboot (1.47) (you can also find this info. in part b.)
....then you KNOW that you are stuck. Because you
a.) Cannot flash a ROM in Recovery because you cannot access it.
b.) You cannot access ADB because your phone won't go that far and will only go into fastboot..
c.) But even though you have access to fastboot you can't do ANYTHING like flash a recovery image or a ROM..or anything for that matter..because S is still ON. (this is the "not allow" messages you will see pop up.)
d.) You have bootloader 1.47 so if you for example, were like me couldn't use this file here.. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657086), because it would say there was a newer version and wouldn't install it.
So this file right here..was the only thing getting my phone back to a usable state. And considering that my searches have shown to pretty much give up all hope and have it sent it for warranty repair, then I think this thread deserves a bump for all those that have screwed up.
Yeah..I have to start ALL OVER now from a stock ROM (thank god for nandroid), but at least my phone isn't a dead brick.
Just thought this needed a well deserved bump.
I wonder if there is a RUU for the latest .2?

Forgive me for seeming NOOBish... but I can use this to do the same, then restore Nandroid back and it will keep the PRL/Profile update?
Just wondering... lolz, thanks!
Yup But you will have to reroot. This takes root from you. You will have to reroot with the Hero rooter from Reg or Z4 or one click root. But read read read. And as far as the prl/profile yup it will stick. When your phone boots up after running this just go into settings and updates and choose update profile and update prl don't update firmware. I repeat don't update firmware. After that just reboot and check your prl should be 60675. After that reroot, then flash a recovery and then nand restore. Hope this helps good luck
Remember this returns you to stock you will loose root and recovery..

Why don't you guys just flash NFX's or LS's already rooted and way faster stock sense ROM to update PRL, etc?
Running stock ROM has to be one of the worst things ever after being on custom ROMs for so long.
I tried flashing almost ever sense rom on here pmgrands port, ninfintes stock odex and deodex and his apps 2 sd builds he has like 4 or 6 different builds. Tried flashing liquids builds beta and stable. All gave me a error. So I had to use this. I couldn't flash any sense rom
and it was easier to use this than try to figure out y. If he can flash a sense rom then yea that's the easier way but if not this is a for sure way to get back to stock.

Thanks for the reply's all... I like Sense and have NFX rom on my Hero, loaded a few ROMS but they won't update, so no worries, when I have some free time I'll sit and do it then. I don't like the one click rooters nor the clockwork recovery, I guess I'm old school and do it the hard way, lol, but thanks for letting me know it'll work (prl update) and stay on the handset!

Well I tried the Sense-o-Maniac 2.3.5 sense 3.5 rom and I didn't really like it I guess cause I didn't notice anything different. Other than some bloat removed and beats audio which I loved! But I watched my phone go from 100% to 95% in 10 minutes of just listening to music....Dont Know why though....I would like to know what are the best roms that any of you can advise me to try that is good on battery life and get quite a differnet kick out of it if that makes sense
I haven't tried a Sense ROM if you're looking for that. CM7 is pretty different from any sort of Sense ROM but people have some mixed reviews on the battery life. It's been ok to pretty good for me, but I have an extended battery and I underclock/undervolt and use a custom kernel.
You could try Leedroid 4.0. Works great MIUI is awesome too. I personally use kernels from Faux but you could use stock kernels or kernels from Bricked too.

[Q] How to go back to 2.3.x from ICS firmwares?

This might sound like a stupid question, but I really hope it is not.
I decided to test the waters with ICS and tried a couple of ROMs (Sense and Virtuous) that run the latest version of Google's OS. Sadly, in my opinion ICS is still not fully ready for our devices, as everything seems too slow in my opinion, and I also don't like the fact that we do not have access to some of the best kernels yet.
So, I decided to go back. Flashed a 2.3.x ROM and... I got a boot loop?
I made sure I was not making a mistake, so I wiped everything and tried again. Same issue. Wiped again and tried a different 2.3.x ROM and again, I got boot loops.
Then I decided to go back to ICS Virtuous Inquisition and everything worked.
Is this a known issue? Do I have to do something in order to return to 2.3.x? For example like flashing a previous firmware/Radio combo?
I would appreciate any help you can give me.
I have done it a couple of times. Once on my Droid 3 and again on my Galaxy tab 10.1. So it will depend on what you have. But in both cases. I was able to find an original ROM update. With the Galaxy tab I found it on the Samsung website, that took it right back to original condition, and with the droid 3, I found it hear in the forums.
I did it too. I didn't back up my ROM. But if you back up your ROM in the future, you wont have this issue. I'm still careless and don't back up my ROM, but I don't go backwards to often.
What Phone do you have? There can be other options as well.

I'm having the same problem. I get to the HTC logo then the phone reboots indefinitely. I'm trying to learn on downgrading the firmware and see if it solves the problem.
Yes, you'll need to downgrade your HBOOT.
If you have supercid, or a T-Mobile handset, this will take you back to 1.17: (I used it myself to go back to a GB rom after trying out ICS) http://www.mediafire.com/?4t9pep3e5hx6ljm
Rough instructions on how to flash it if you're not familiar: Rename it PG58IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard, and boot into the bootloader. It will ask you to flash the file, choose yes and let it go.
And of course, you can then restore any nandroid backup of a GB rom, or install a fresh one, etc.
(if you're not supercid, just edit the android-info.txt file inside the zip and add your CID)
p.s. don't worry about downgrading the radio; I went back to a GB rom without downgrading the radio and everything is fine. Just downgrading the HBOOT is enough.
Downgraded to 1.17 and it still reboots, though I did a restore instead. I'll a fresh flash now.
Still doesn't work. How do I get to 1.23 again? I'm so confused now.

I'm surprised you didn't like ICS, they're all alphas but pretty slick considering.

(Hopefully) my last question. I have SuperCID (set to 11111111 as specified in that other instruction topic). Does this mean I can flash any previous firmware and even downgrade? I was not aware that this is what it does.
If I revert back to 1.17, will I lose S-OFF and have to repeat things?

Well, either I am extremely picky (which I am), or I did something wrong. But I do not consider these ROMs 'pretty slick'. I have owned far too many Android phones and tablets up until today, and given the dual-core CPU and advanced GPU inside Sensation XE, I was expecting the fastest, best, most fluid and slick experience yet, and... it does not deliver. I thought ICS allow the OS to use the second core, but again, something must be wrong because it certainly doesn't feel like it.
I am not saying that the experience is bad, by any means. Things are slick and fluid most of the time. But you do get occassional split-second hicc-ups, and I also have this 'feeling' that the framerate while moving around in Nova is below the best I have seen. So there you have it.
Many thanks is in order to all that helped.

[Q] Possible brick while installing Android Revolution?

I need help!
My HTC sensation 4G is stuck on the boot screen where it says, "htc quietly brillant" I followed all the steps to flash, and install the rom. What can I do at this point?
For those who have installed Android Revolution, how long did it take you to boot up? And also I can still use bootloader and recovery and such. Please help!
Did you install the required firmware? It sounds like you didn't. Also after installing firmware, remember to remove PG58IMG.zip from your SD card.
What is the required firmware?
Seriously, did you just Google 'custom ROM' and then click the first link you found? Messing around with ROMs, firmwares, kernels and apps can leave you with an unusable phone - as you have now found.
Please, please, please go and read the instructions in the Android Revolution thread. It's all there, I promise.

[Q] whats the best way to get a jb/sense rom running smooth?

so ive tried all of the new jb sense roms. but i cant get wifi to stay on and i also cant remove the system apps. like google+.
other than that they just dont seem to be butter smooth.
I noticed there is an official ota update. so i figure all the developers will be focusing on these newer jb sense official based roms.
so it seems to be inevitable that i will need one as a daily driver.
I have the elemental kernal with initd.
I have flashed new 1.11 radio and the wifi partitions.
The wifi does seem to work a little better with the kernal but not when i need it the most. like when i have no 4g.
I am on 1.06 hboot still.
I was going to update but honestly i couldnt find proper instructions. I have the wrong cid for the one i tried to update with.
Then i kept finding all the things you cant do above 1.14 hboot.
My questions are.
Do i need the new hboot. or is there a good reliable way to get it running smooth on the 1.06.?
If so is there a link to some good instructions and a DL link? because i must keep looking passed it.
And if i upgrade, how impossible is it to downgrade? i swear i read you need linux.
Thanks.
I was on hboot 1.14 and basically sux cuz of limitation in flashing. So i successfully downgrade to 1.06. However 1.06 is buggy, now i'm on 1.09. ROM I use is ASBS along with Elemental-S-JB, Wifi Partition, and Sense Radio US 1.11t. I flash these all at one before rebooting the phone. Then i install Kernel Tuner. Phone is running at OC 1.8 and so far very smooth plus battery still good. Fully charge at 6:30am now 9:18am EST and only losing 9%. Power saver is off. Had no problem wifi issue or anything

What's buggy with 1.06?

It's hard to get into BL when power +vol down and took very long just to boot into BL or TWRP. I remember when I was on 1.14 and previous phone 1.09, it's faster compare to 1.06. No software to compare just with naked eyes.
To OP:
I removed some apk i do not need from the JB ROM. I use WinRar to delete the apk inside the zip. I'm a zero percentage with linux, but the guide is very step by step in downgrading Hboot. Just to remember, when copy&paste make sure to change "sd* " to your corresponding sd*. The OP quoted with sdc on the code.

Now that's i'm on "downgrade to 1.09 from 1.14", seem to be better than 1.06 and getting to BL & twrp recovery seem to be faster (power+vol down) too.

I just stick to 1.06 what's 2 seconds when the downgrade has save me loads of time.
does anyone know if updating the hboot will fix the bugs assosiated with the new sense jb roms?
usually once theres an official update the roms run perfect so i wont have to worry about installing another ics rom.
the rom i likes before was one maximus, just works everytime. big fan of energy since the hd2 but i could never get wifi working on that either.
You know. looking back, all the apps i removed actually removed. except google plus. hmmm.
Maybe ill remove it in winrar like said before. i assume you need to remove more than just the apk though. guess thats another thread though.
As far as JB and Sense goes, I think we'll have to wait for the kernel source before we start seeing jb sense roms that works smooth and good. Alt. wait for HTC to release OTA updates..
My suggestion is to stick with ICS if you want sense, or an AOSP rom like cm10 if you want JB, for now.
I heard(well, read, if we are to be picky ) somewhere that the JB kernel from HTC blocks all write access to /system/, regardless of being root or not (retarded move, if you ask me).
So if thats true, the only way to remove system apps is to remove them from the rom image before flashing ...
Removing the .apk's from /system/apps should be enough.

Em what we have full root and can delete stuff from system.
myphonesbetter, I use WinRar myself and find it a better way of removing stuff.

Yah i could delete some things but some things wont delete. like google plus. and i think google plus is installed by goo.im or whatever. so i cant delete it from the zip file.
And I was under the impression that we had the official ota update. guess not. ill wait a little longer.
But we have jb ota since Xmas. Maybe you meant ruu jb.
BTW I updated my hboot and never had any issue (WiFi....) with any ROM based on htc jb.
