[Q] Can I downgrade Firmware 3.30 to 1.17 ?

I have a T-Mobile Sensation 4G (Revolutionary S-OFF , CWM and Super-CID) running with a Gingerbread Custom Rom with stock firmware (I suppose that firmware is 1.17 I really don't know)
My question is , if I upgrade the firmware to 3.24 or 3.30 and I flash a ICS rom. But, if I wan't to return to Gingerbread , can I flash a 1.17 firmware without risk of hard brick?
Can I downgrade a Firmware without risk ?? or I need to change the radio or anything else ?
The point is, what I need to do if I'm using a ICS rom but I decide to return to a Gingerbread custom rom?
thanks..

just make sure you're supercid and then just use kohr's user friendly firmwares to get any firmware you want. flash appropriate rom and youre good to go.
kohr's user friendly firmwares will get you all the radios and stuff you need for whichever version. if you go up to 3.30 you can easily go back to 1.17, but you wont want to

Yes you can , u just flash as normal.. I recommend SuperCIDing...

Be careful with 1.17 ENG. It does not contain firmware, just the eng hboot. You need to flash gb radios

Or, you could flash 3.12 fw for gingerbread without he need to sort out the radio desperately.

If I flash 3.12 fw, can I flash and run Ginberbread custom roms ?
Only I need flash 3.12 fw without flash anything else ? like a radio , etc.. ?

If you get the 3.12 firmware from kohr ah, everything you need to run gb roms is included. Just flash a Rom

That's how I was running Virtuous Inquisition and CM7 at the same time, well after a Nandroid recovery. However, I had quite a few random reboots with ICS and others had reported better stability on the 3.24 than 3.12 firmware , so I'm now on HBOOT 1.27.1100.
EDIT: As someone reported earlier the HBOOT 1.27 firmware pack doesn't include a Radio. So if you revert back it, you'll also need to flash a Radio.

Why would you need to flash the Gingerbread radio? Mine's working fine on Gingerbread with HBOOT 1.17 and the ICS radio.

How to upgrade to ics with hboot 1.23 s-on?

Two month ago, i did some stupid things and then hboot turned into s-on. Because hboot version is 1.23 which is not supported by revolutionary, i can't upgrade, degrade or s-off the bootloader.So i can't flash any ics rom. I tried to flash ruu. No matter what version of ruu is, it always shows error 155 or else(i tried to relock the bootloader, other error uccured). Now official ics has been released, will latest ics ruu help? my device is asia sea wwe.

[Q] Stock RUU Htc Sensation EU No Brand

Hello,
i have a problem , i need to find the original RUU for my Sensation because it has the "Dust Problem" and i want to send it back to HTC.
When i bought it the Android version was 2.3.4 and Sense version was 3.0.
Anyone knows which RUU i have to download to restore my Sensation ? I know 1.50 it's ICS, but i need Android 2.3.4.
Anyway, do i need to reflash PG58IMG for Android 2.3.4? Actually i'm using Android Revolution HD with ICS.
And what about radio.img? do i need to flash an older radio version?
Thank you

Nobody can help me ?

You have to retry it until there are free slots available or you look for "HTC Sensation shipped rom europe 1.45" in google.

I got original UK simfree sensation ruu in my laptop hard drive. Don't know how to send u It's large file.

Your welcome! Just hit the thanks button.
I'm not sure but i think that the link i posted is Android 2.3.3. I believe that the RUU 1.50.... Is 2.3.4 and the RUU 1.45.... Is 2.3.3. Please anyone, correct me when i'm wrong.

I found something in another forum and yes, RUU 1.45 should be the 2.3.3 one.
But before launching the update utility do i need to flash the correct PG58IMG for RUU 1.45?
Downgrade from 3.32 to 1.45 isn't working, and if i try to do it with the phone On on fastboot the utility crashes.
My phone is still untouched and working 100% with ARHD 6.63. Nothing bricked it, phew

EDIT: 1.45 is Android 2.3.4... i made a mistake..
I still need to find the 2.3.3 one . Any idea?

If you run the RUU it will flash everything, firmware, radio, rom etc. So you don't need to flash PG58IMG first. I guess for 2.3.3 you will need the 1.35 RUU then. You can find it in the schipped rom collection, sorry i don't have it

Thank you all for your help, i solved my problem
I post how i've done it, maybe it'll help someone.
The problem was that i had android 4.0.3 and when i was going to launch the RUU the utility was crashing, so i tried to switch the phone to fastboot usb and re-launch the ruu, but it was crashing again.
So i downloaded the pg58img for RUU 1.45, an older radio version, found on the android revolution HD official site and a deoxeded ROM based on 1.45 RUU.
1. I modified my phone with SuperCID 11111111 (before it was ITA No Brand so HTC__405).
2. I flashed the radio, then the PG58IMG and then.
3. I wiped all via recovery (boot,cache,dalvik,data,system) and installed the 1.45 based rom.
4. I've unchecked the "fastboot" option and activated the "debug usb" option.
5. Connected Phone to PC (charge only) and launched the Rom Update Utility.
6. The program detected my phone correctly and installed the ROM correctly.
7. I rebooted my phone into fastboot and re-setted the SuperCid to the original one (HTC__405).
8. I've returned to S-ON locking the bootloader via adb "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Done
Now the phone is ***LOCKED*** with S-ON and with RUU 1.45 installed. (I unlocked it months ago with revolutionary).
Thanks all for your help

Hboot 1.17

Hi all,
I am currently running on Hboot 1.17.1111. I had actually flash a coredroid rom, ICS onto my phone, without realizing that i need to flash my hboot to 1.27.
My phone was formerly flash on the gingerbread version. The rom was installed successfully but my phone now keeps restarting at the splash screen. I tried to look for solutions around to update the hboot with 1.23 then to 1.27. However, i am unable to install them. Is there any solution to this?
Thanks for the help

Pm your way put in sim card power volume down don't touch phone till u see ring will flash from and firm all in one shot then u can flash what u want
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium

why would you update to 1.23 then 1.27...from my understanding of it, all you need is 1.23 hboot to flash to ICS and 1.23 can also run any GB roms as well, whereas 1.27 can only run ICS Roms

i tried to update to 1.23 but it doesnt work as well.
oh well, i thot that i need to update to 1.27 for the rom flash

Hboot 1.23 is firmware 3.12 and that's outdated ics roms. All the new ones use 1.27

Can't Install OTA Update on XE

I flashed my XE with a taiwanese ROM using SuperCID. I used to have a SEA WWE rom but I can only download the RUU for the Taiwanese one because my Ordroid 9.0.0 didn't have wifi on so I had to go back to stock. Now, there's this 3.33 update for the current rom I have and have downlaoded it in the OS for at least 5 times and failed at all of it.
I later changed my CID to HTC__621 which is for the taiwanese rom but the update still didn't occur. I only reach about a third of the update bar on reboot and I always see a red question mark on a phone icon after. I can't seem to find out why this is happening to me. Is it because I have S-OFF? I don't see how S-off would affect the OTA.
Can anyone help me?

Man what exactly are you trying to do are you trying to flash a ruu that's for the xe or just flash a ruu in general and get the ora update and if that's the case what update are you trying to obtain

You can only ugrade via OTA if you are on a completely stock ROM, htc OTA doesnt work on custom ROMs

Hi,
you should install RUU from your PC, then you should should put S-ON and only then you will be able to get OTA from HTC, here is How-To
