Old firmware

Hi guys, where can i get the old firmware? I flashed the new firmware to install the new ICS 4.0.3 Sense rom. I didn't like it, so i restored my old ROM. And now i keep getting random reboots which i never get before.

I'm on stock XE rom after flashing new firmware and no problems.
HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio

I'm on Miui.us latest version.

Try downloading the orgional rom for your phone and flashing it using the ruu exe file. This will restore the phone back to the orgional bootloader and radio and rom!

Can i just flash the PG58IMG.zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

When we flash the RUU...does it remove Root? I installed a custom ICS ROM to try but didn't like it, so I did a NAND restore, but I think the firmware was still updated to the one that was needed to do the ICS, and I find the battery is draining quickly. So I would like to revert back to where it was.
I had though a NAND restore will restore everything including the HBOOT version and the radio...but guess not? So should I just do a RUU thing then?
Thanks

I think the pd58img ur referring to is for CWM not the firmware or radio which is what ur looking for. If you want complete retail stock then find the gingerbread 2.3.4 RUU. If ur looking for 2.3.4/5 customer roms the just flash the rom u want. GB works fine with its firmware. Backwards compatible.

The situation have been getting worse and worse everyday. Now, I couldn't even use my phone for 2 minutes without it rebooting itself. I have tried different ROMs with the same result. And i have already flashed the latest T-mobile firmware which i got from this thread.
And I'm sure its the firmware that's causing the problem. Because the first time booting into android after flashing the ICS firmware, the phone froze during the boot screen.
I'm running
HBOOT- 1.23.0000

Bootloop with 3.24 and 3.30 firmware

Lately I have some problems with installing the latest firmwares for the Sensation. Both 3.24 as 3.30 firmwares cause a bootloop, but the 3.12 firmware is just working fine.
My flashing procedure:
1. Super wipe
2. Install Firmware
3. Super wipe
4. Install ROM
5. Wipe dalvik + cache
6. Fix Permissions
This all causes a bootloop. Also tried to install the ROM first and then the firmware. (without super wipe in between of course)
Things I've tried
- My cid was HTC__E11 and changed it to 11111111 (and back again now)
- Tried booting without sd-card and without sim-card
- Making a PG58IMG.zip with an old HBOOT
-Tried both Mike1986.'s firmware as the noob friendly from Kohr-Ah
More people having these probs and do any of you have new ideas?
The only thing that can in my mind, was to stick with the 3.12 roms untill the official release comes form HTC. Unroot etc to get the official update and check if my phone will work. If not, send it to HTC Repair centre.

Which ROM are you trying to install? You try updating firmware to latest 3.30 and install latest Insertcoin, works for me.

all you have to do is:
download the 3.30 fw
put the PG58IMG in your sd card root folder
go into hboot screen and flash it (you have to be superCID) reboot+vol down
now delete PG58IMG from your sd card and reboot in recovery
wipe all and flash your rom
enjoy

If you had bootloop eariler with V3.24 firmware , you will still have bootloop with V3.30 firmware as the HBOOT is same in both v3.30 and V3.24 .
Stick to V3.12 till HTC release a newer HBOOT in near future . Till now there is no logical reason why it is happening with a very few users.

I've had the same problem all day with this. I flashed the recommended 3.3.0 f/w this morning and couldn't for the life of my work out why i was getting bootloops.
Luckily I came across this by chance, saved hours of tearing my hair out thanks

I've tried, ARHD, InsertCoin, HyperNonSense, Open Sensation CM9, Virtuos Inquisition. It's not the Rom that's causing the bootloop. It's the firmware that's causing it.. Most roms do work with he 3.12 firmware.
Think I'll stick to musarraf172 his advice and stay on 3.12 till a new hboot comes out. Or maybe if someone else finds a solution for this.

FINALLY a post that I can reply on (forum rules I'm new @ develpers section)
I have the same problem as you I get bootloop with 3.24 and 3.30
3.12 runs fine, my question is, can I install mike's new ROM 6.3.0 XE
with the 3.12 or will I screw up my phone (I really don't know much about this sorry if it's a stupid question )
P.S: the 3.12 fw bootloader says LOCKED on it, doesn't let me to flash radio, so I'm currently stuck with a piece of metal, any help?
thanks

no you can't...you need at least 3.24 fw

where can I get some other firmware (unlocked one) which will work with mike's rom Android Revolution 3.6.13 (and the radio on his post)
on his post it sayd "thanks to HTC for base firmware" where can I get that?
Thanks

You might be wrong here.
@ guy asking question. Just install the rom with 3.12 fw, as mussy said, there are a few people that get bootloops with latest fw but run ok on 3.12. Also, you can always take 3.30 fw, remove hboot.img from it, and just update radio and other partitions but leave hboot intact. That might work.

You can run ARHD 6.3.0 with V3.12 firmware. Some users already confirmed this.
Locked HBOOT does not allow to flash radio, splash via fastboot. But You can easily flash radio, splash etc by PG58IMG.zip method.

bootloop fix?
Hey again,
just figured out why I got the bootloops with the 3.30 and 3.24
The reason is very simple : I tried to flash them without flashing to the new ROM
The old ROM I had just happened to work with the 3.12 but with the 3.24/3.30 it went to the bootloops.
Here's the guide that helped me with this issue (now I have the 3.30 and the 6.3.0XE ARHD ROM) :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
Thanks to erraggy for giving me this link to the great guide
P.S : If you have some cooked UOT file you made with SystemUI.apk & framework-res.apk , DO NOT flash them after flashing the ROM , your phone will be stuck @ the first boot for hours. I know it sounds stupid, but hey, I'm new at this and if it helps others do be it
btw, great ROM

I tried doing this and still cant upgrade to 3.24 or 3.30 fw. I did super wipe, flashed fw 3.30 and then flashed ROM but still get boot loops. I think some phones cant upgrade?
I have T-mobile US and i did try the user friendly fw 3.30 also.

Did V3.24 work on your phone ? If not , then V3.30 will also not work. You can flash v3.12 and install ARHD 6.3.0 . They will work together. If you still want to flash V3.30 , then replace the HBOOT 1.27.1100 in V3.30 with the HBOOT in V3.12.

Fw 3.24 didn't work for me either. I am currently using the 3.30 file with the hboot from 3.12 on Elegancia Rom. Its just strange that there are a few phones that can't boot with the 1.27 bootloader.

Thats great. The official untouched HBOOT 1.27 solved the issue.
Just curious . Does it show "locked" in bootloader screen ??
If so that menas the fastboot extended commands are disabled.
Just check it.

Ok, I'm done now. After installing the stock rom I just installed superuser and recovery again. Afterwards I restored my Nandroid backup and it's up and running.
Bootloader shows me:

You can download some beautiful splash from here. Open the flashable zip and find the splash1.img inside the etc folder.

TMOUSA Sensation 4G help

Alright guys I got s-off and thats about it. I want ics on my phone but once I update to the nnewest firmware and flash an ics rom it stays stuck on white HTC screen. I've had to use RUU twice because I can't load a recovery without updating firmware and once i do that my phone does not boot. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get ics on my sensation 4g?

Make sure you get SuperCID so the firmware update goes through. If you don't have SuperCID then it can look like it updated but it actually fails.
Once you get the firmware flashed properly, you have to delete or rename the firmware zip from your SD card so that you can access recovery.

I did that. super cid to 11111111 and to the latest firmware even tried it with the patch. I am able to go into recovery but everytime I flash any rom it stays stuck on the white HTC screen after I boot it up.

The steps I used are...flash firmware 3.32 ,then superwipe( very important if coming from GB, then Rom this has seemed to work for me..
Also did you do a MD5 to check the file of the Rom to make sure it was the same?

The problem with this might be which version of htc sense was cooked into the Rom you are using. If you are using a android 4.0.3 rom with sense 3.5 then you need firmware package 3.12 because sense 3.5 needs HBOOT 1.23, and sense 3.6 needs HBOOT 1.27 so you would use the 3.24, 3.30, 3.32 but again it all depends on what the chef has built from if the chef used a 3.5 sense in the rom then that might be your issue.
If not try to just start over, completely format your sd card, then put your rom, supersipe, and firmware on sd card.
1. install firmware from recovery once installed pull battery out and remove sd to take off the firmware file,
2. reinstall sd card, boot phone into recovery- go to install from zip and run the superwipe script once it finishes it will reboot into recovery.
3. then install the rom of your choosing and see if that works.
I use the energy rom series and flashed over from GB using the instructions i found in that forum, it does get confusing if you have not do it a million times....hope this helps ICS is awesome...

I want to super wipe but I'm not sure which one to download. Also guys, I'm on stock tmobile usa rom. No custom rom

Stock is not needed.
You need to ensure that F/W and ROM are compatible. I.e. ICS 1.27.xxxx F/W WILL NOT work with a GB ROM, and GB 1.17.xxxx WILL NOT work with ICS.
Flash the F/W, if not already done. Can't remember what you are on.
SuperWipe (from Mike's ARHD thread).
Flash your chosen ICS ROM.
Pop out the SD card, reboot insert and then delete the PG58IMG.zip ONLY if you flashed the F/W.
Deep joy.

[Q] Sensation Newb- Locked Bootloader 1.23 CM9 Woes

Yes, I am a newb to the Sensation, but not flashing in general. I have previously had hacked SamVibrant, HD2, and most recently, the G2x, so I know from a constant flasher's POV generally what Im doing.
I've been searching for answers to this for days now, and nothing really seems to work, so let me just start with what is going on.
CURRENT STATS:
-PHONE-TMO Sensation 4g
-S-OFF
-ROOTED
-BOOTLOADER-1.23.0000
-RADIO-10.14.9035.01_M
At the top of the bootloader screen it says ****LOCKED**** Which I am guessing is obviously in refrence to the bootloader itself.
Also I currently have the latest 4EXT recovery flashed. When I got the phone it had CWM 5.00.2 or whatever the latest was.
Just bought a Sensation from a guy on Craigslist, and when I got it, it had a CM7 AOSP ROM running on it. I definitely wanted ICS, so I started reading and trying to get it.
So I started here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300&highlight=hboot+1+23
I tried the PG58IMG.zip install via the bootloader, but kept getting errors and security fails. So I researched more and found a post about how to fix that, but the problem is that there is almost always a need to use Revolutionary, and I can't because it doesn't support the 1.23 bootloader.
I have also tried the PG58DIAG via bootloader, and still got mismatch and security errors.
I also just recently tried flashing back to the "REALSTOCKEXPERIENCE" stock ROM which was successful, but it didn't fix my bootloader or unlock woes. Lastly I tried the HTC dev Unlock, and it would not work, because When I got to the part where it attempts to connect to the phone via USB to do get the identifier token it would not connect. It just kept waiting. I tried resetting my phone and reloading the BL but it would not work.
Also I have noticed that I cannot get my phone to connect VIA USB to the PC when in FASTBOOT or Bootloader. Is that normal?
Please help a brother get some ICS on my new phone! I loved my HD2, although it was a bi#$% to flash sometimes, I loved it, and that is why I went with HTC again. This all makes me miss my Vibrant, where you could flash all day long and root without a computer... Good times....

You're already s-off, so most of the work has already been done for you. Make sure you have fast boot unchecked in power options in your current rom. After that, all that's left to do is check your cid. If you're supercid, then grab any 3.32 base firmware from one of the many rom threads in our dev forum, install it via bootloader, remove the firmware file from sd card (do it from pc after you power down the phone), then flash a rom. This will also upgrade your bootloader to 1.27 unlocked and change your radio to the latest. Don't forget to check md5!
If you're not supercid, then you'll need to find kohr-ah's firmware thread because he has corresponding firmware for all cids. Then grab any rom and enjoy.
As for connecting fastboot via USB, you need the htc sync drivers installed on your PC.
Sorry for lack of links. I'm on mobile and searching is a PITA on the phone.
/edit
Make a nandroid backup before you do any of this.

Thanks a bunch. I will give it a go a third time, but that is one of the problems that I am having, is that I can't flash anything via bootloader. I just get tons of errors...
Lets see if the third time is a charm.
EDIT: I still can't use revolutionary for Super CID because the bootloader is 1.23, but I used a Terminal window and the getprop ro.cid/mid and got this:
Cid-T-MOB010.... is this super CID'd?? I was looking for a reference post, but cant remember where I found it before.

no you are not super cid, it would say 111111. But your good everything is already done really.... Go to kor ah's noob friendly firmware thread, find the 3.32 firmware from T-Mobile with the tmobo10 included. Put it on the root if your SD and there you go flash an ics rom. Just remember to delete it after.

^^ This. Kohr-Ah's thread is the way to go then.
On a side note, you might be able to write supercid after flashing the 1.27 bootloader because the one floating around is already unlocked by revolutionary. Why bother? Because it'll make things easier if we have to upgrade our firmware again in the future.

Forget Revolutionary. You are already S-OFF so you don't need the tool any more. All you need to do is flash the 3.32 firmware (it comes with HBOOT 1.27, ICS won't boot on 1.23) from >here<, and SuperCID (look here at step 4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300).

Okay, I am on the right track now. I hunted and hunted, and finally found a PG58IMG that would flash on my bootloader. That put me on the 1.27 bootloader which allowed me to flash the unlocked 1.17 Bootloader which previously would not flash. now I am trying to get the RUU to flash me back to a non-Rooted ROM so I can reflash the 3.32 and then ICS... Once again, I miss my Vibrant's flashing simplicity... but it will all be worth it.
Thanks for your assistance, everyone with positive non-flaming comments. Expect your thanks buttons to get some love!

Someone else correct me if I'm wrong here due to misunderstanding that last post...
But if you're on the 1.17 bootloader unlocked and everything is smooth there, you should be able to flash the 3.32 firmware right not, then flash whatever ICS ROM you want. The current ROM should have no bearing on this. There is no reason to flash to a non rooted ROM just so you can immediately flash a new ROM.
You just need to have either Clockwork or 4EXT recovery installed to flash the ROM. (And you'll need 4EXT to flash a couple of them. Not all will work with Clockwork)

Thanks for the thanks.
Though once you had the 1.27 revolutionary bootloader, you could've just flashed an ICS rom right then and there and been done with the whole thing. The 1.27 bootloader that's floating around actually comes from the 3.32 (rom base) firmware so you would have been good to go. You really didn't need to revert to 1.17 hboot and flash a non rooted rom.
Don't worry, it really is easy flashing a Sensation, you'll see. It's just that a lot of our guides are outdated and end up confusing people who come into the scene post gingerbread.
/edit
Skipjacks is right. You can go from 1.17 hboot to 1.27 hboot (3.32 rom base firmware) without worrying about your current rom.

I had tried to flash the ICS Rom several times, only to have Boot loops and get stuck. I was following several guides posted here that say that you have to be on a non-rooted rom. I will give it another go to see if there is any change.

That's really weird. Which ICS rom are you trying to flash?
Did you get the T-MOB010 3.32 firmware from here and make sure md5 was correct? This firmware is really the only prerequisite for flashing a 3.32 base ICS rom.
Just keep in mind that 3.32 firmware only works for ICS and will bootloop a gingerbread rom.
There's a really good and simple step by step on how to flash ICS in the first post on the link. Check it out.

OMG It Works! I was boot looping like crazy and could not get anything to boot!
I am not sure but I think the problem may have been the radio, or the wrong Firmware for my CID. My phone would not work with the adb Radio.imgthough so I left it alone.
Correct me if I am wrong on the radio idea, but I flashed the 3.32 and I would get stuck at the White HTC screen. Tried SuperWiping and Flashing three different Roms and no-go.
Then I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
I downloaded the right one per my TMO CID and was able to flash it, which also updated the Radio. After another superwipe and Rom Flashing, it worked!
THanks again for all of the help. You are all really appreciated. ALong with this whole community.

Haha that's Kohr-Ah's thread where we were telling you to go to for 3.32 firmware.
Honestly, I'm not really sure what was causing your bootlooping. There's so many little things that could cause a bootloop, it's hard to pinpoint. But hey you've got it running now so it's all good.
Welcome to ICS and welcome to the Sensation community.

[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

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

My mid is: PG5811000
Telco company called : Telstra
my cidnum i dont know which it is, can you give a hand mate?
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

Which rom to start with?

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

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
