[Q] Why am I able to install OrDroid rom only? - HTC Sensation

Hi every one, I have recently purchased an HTC Sensation XE. I have read and done all the tips several times regarding S-off, Super CID, Rooting. I have S-off and rooted the device. My CID 111111. I don't know why somehow I can only install OrDroid 1.6.1, and upgrade to OrDroid 1.6.2 only and no other ROMs. Could anyone possibly help me to see where I am going wrong? Thank you in advance.

Make sure ur firmware is 3.32 ...
And some phones get.bootlop.bcoz. of the oc kernel make sure u get the one without oc
Than try insertcoin beta 12 works great since u using sense 4.0

What firmware is in your bootloader? When you are flashing a rom and it requires a specific Firmware you will need to update that firmware to that roms requirements. First time Flashing also requires a full wipe. . There is a firmware thread in sensation development and how to's. Example.. If i want sense 3.6 rom or new 4.0 rom I would flash firmware 3.32. If your not sure how firmware flashes read up on it. It can cause bootloops if your not flashing the proper zips. Welcome to the world of SENSATION..

Hey pop did ya delete the firmware file you flashed right after you updated it into bootloader? Usually that PG58IMG which would be your firmware file zip should be deleted off your SDcard right after you bootloaded it. And also let me remind ya that even its a lower firmware like 3.24 or less it will have that same PG58IMG file name saved on your wherever downloaded too. So make sure your installing that correct PG58IMG firmware. Other than that ..try a step down from 3.32 and see if that works with the ARHD Rom.

Try the 3.30 firmware. If not just double check to see if you downloaded the right firmware 3.32. Like for me I'm a T-Mobile user so I had to download the T-Mobile version firmware.. hope that helps..

Hi,
Shouldn't you be asking this on their thread?
CoreDroid has a very active thread and also a full FAQ

I think any 3.24 firmware will work on a ics 4.0.3 rom
Try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
I would suggest the one from the CD team DaDoctor
This one comes from the CoreDroid Team
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21484774&postcount=6871
There you have both hboot 1.17 and 1.23.
The latest (1.23/fw3.12) will also work for both GB/ICS version of CoreDroid
Then if you go ICS version of Coredroid, then you could flash 1.27

ics reception problem

I am using ICS for 3 days.the reception is weeker than GB.my rom revolution 6.
who else have this problem ?
specially official ICS .do you have reception problem with offisial rom ?
it look likes its only my problem.so whay should I do for this problem ? any solution ?
Oftentimes the radio has a big factor on reception. If you flashed a new firmware package (which you undoubtedly did if you're running ICS now...) then chances are your radio file was overwritten. I would suggest digging through Google to find a radio file optimized for your carrier FOR ICS. You also want to make sure it only has a replacement radio and nothing else tagging along with it, otherwise you may have to reflash your ROM afterwards. Good luck to you!
thanks for reply.
what If I install ICS OTA ROM ? Do I need to reinstall radio ?
next question theres is a ICS untoucked rom in revolution hd forum.Is this rom exactly htcs rom ?
or could you please send me a link of official htc ics rom ?
and could you please tell me cid of one of countries that they got ics already.
thanks

The Radio comes with a firmware package as opposed to a ROM, so just flashing a ROM won't fix that.
Android Revolution HD is a very nice ROM, if you like the Sense UI and don't want to go for AOSP like OpenSensation/CyanogenMod 9 then ARHD is your best choice. The main difference is it gives you the latest version of everything as well as many tweaks and enhancements for it to run smoother. I don't have any links for plain unmodified HTC update packages.
As for the CID, you want to flash a Radio/Firmware based on the CID you have. The only exception is if you are SuperCID, but you still want to flash the one that matches YOUR carrier. Radios are all different. If you used Orange UK for example and I gave you a Radio for T-Mobile US it wouldn't help at all.

question

ok, i am a experienced android flasher. i have been using cdma devices and my friend has a t-mobile sensation. he is jealous of my ics roms i have been running this weekend. on my cdma i just flash the rom after wiping. firmware updates are optional and they are generally one for all types. i keep seeing super cid and mid stuff having to do with firmware in the sensation dev section, and from what i have read u need special firmware to run the ics roms on his phone. but u have to choose the right firmware according to your mid or cid whatever that is. so if he is using a gsm t-mobile(usa) sensation what firmware do i need to get him?
he is s-off with clockwork recovery and we have flashed roms before i am just confused on the firmware requirements for these gsm phones.
i am the one who rooted his phone as well. i just don't want to f up his phone
thanks
btw i asked him for his current firmware version and he told me 4.0.1. he is going to come over tomorrow and we are going to try and get him on ics so any help is much appreciated
No 4.0.1 is the version of the Android OS he has on his device, it is not the firmware. If he has that as his OS version then he should have the 3.32 firmware as you have to have the 3.32 firmware for any 4.0.? ROM to boot.
CID stands for Carrier Identification, this is specific to each carrier. If the CID of the ROM does not match your device's CID, it will not flash to your device. If you Super CID your device, you can flash any stock ROM you want too. But CID is usually only relevant to stock ROM, although if the ROM is based on a stock ROM you might have to have Super CID to flash it. Cid does not apply to ASOP or AOKP ROMs.
Pm coming your way

Never heard of a 4.0.1 firmware
His cid should be supercid with 11111111
And his firmware should be 3.32, good luck.
I think he is on a sense 3.5 rom so the 4.0 must be his rom.thanks for the responses and pm. Starting to understand. Going to shoot for super cid if he comes over today

[problem] couldn't flsh any miui inHTC Sensation

hi every one
i have htc sensation roted & s-off with android 2.3.5 & kernal 2.6.35.10_cyanogen
My prblem is that i canot flash any MIUI rom even if i restore my original rom (nandroid) so what can i do to
install MUIU rom like (([ROM] [29-03] TripNMiUI V4 - MIUI ICS | B008 | Everything fixed))????
You should install 3.32/3.33 firmware.. To hold ics roms.. It's roms won't work on gingerbread firmware

correct to me please
dear i leave in Syria & some times if we changed to the kernel you advice with. that its suitable whit ics, we may have some troubles in wifi& camera.....etc.
so is that true that: if i changed my CID number from HTC___44 to super CID HTC___111111.THEN install your kernel ...????
but then if i have any problem can i solve this by/or can i re-install my original kernel and be on my old sittings without any problems i may have....??? because i heard the super CID allow us to re-change the kernels easily between new&old ???

wait wait wait .its not kernel im talking about im talking about firmware
let me clarify you couple of things
sensation can be divided this way ..
hardware + recovery (stock/cwm/4EXT etc etc) + firmware (radio + bootloader + others) + ROM (boot (aka kernel) + system + data)
now im talking about firmware part
if you want ICS ROM ..you need ICS compatible firmwares 3.32/3.33
and for gingerbread ROM (which you are currently having ) requires GB compatible firmware 1.17
and kernel is part of ROM ..it comes with ROM
now you were unable to boot MIUI ICS version ..you have GB firmware thats why you were unable to boot
just flash 3.32 or 3.33 firmware and then MIUI ICS you will come out fine (btw after flashing 3.32 or 3.33 firmware you cant boot to your 2.3.5 ROM as its not compatible but you can backup it from recovery)
now with regards to CID ..you need not change it anymore ..as it became obsolete
all the firmwares comes universal ..means works with any cid's
here is the firmware thread

Flashing stock Threemobile Sensations

I’ve spend the past few days looking round the forums, and whilst I have a technical background I am completely new to mobile firmware updated.
My one and oney requirement is to speed up my Sensation which has been intermittently un responsive for a few seconds then working again, ever since the ICS update. (Yes I have tried factory resets etc).
The plan was to use the Android Revolutions HD for my Sensation to up the clock speed to 1.5Ghz,
I have the following
HTC Sensation Z710e (pyramid-1.27.0000, Android: 4.0.3, ROM version: 3.32.771.51)
CID = H3G-001
cid list h3g_001,H3g_G04,H3G_106,H3g_402
Because I have HBoot 1.27 then the traditional S-Off methods don’t work, and it’s the wire trick.
The best guide I found was
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
However I don’t appear to be able to flash to Android Revolution HD 6.8 as my firmware is out of date, and I don’t match any of the supported firmware on

Am I stuck or have I missed something obvious?

Hi,
The best guide is the one by asskicker.
Do not worry too much about the firmware.
ARHD will still work on your firmware.

That's the guide i have been reading, and it looks good. The bit i am having issues with is the firmware. Without S-Off i dont believe i can update ?
Also with my current ROM , Can I upgrade to the stock firmware as required by android revolution 6.8
"3.33.401.x firmware is required!"
chicken and egg situation with 3.33.401.x firmware or is the firmware backwardly compatible??

Hi,
You are correct ,in that you cannot upgrade firmware with s-on.
There is no problem,though.
I know it says "Required" firmware,but it will still work fine on the firmware you have.
Go ahead and use the guide to flash it.
