Hi Guys,
Need some help on downgrading my ICS on my sensation XE to GB.
What are the the things that i must do in order to do that?
Thanks a million for helping.
1: Backup your current system if it's working
2: Install a proper firmware version compatible with your system and GB
See here for details + guide
3: Wipe system + install desired ROM from Recovery.

Hi guys I want to install Virtuous Inquisition and need some help.
I am used to just downloading a ROM, and flashing via ROM manager... however in the virtuous inquisition thread it says you must install new firmware and says something about SuperCID.
Can someone please explain to me what SuperCID is, and how I install the correct firmware. I have read some of the guides but it doesnt make much sense - they seem to be aimed at people who already know what they are doing lol.
Also, if i do install this new firmware, would I still be able to go back to my old rom (android revolution HD sense 3.0) via my backup?
Thanks a lot to anyone who can help.
Install adb +fastboot drivers
Install device drivers
Nav in cmd to fastboot. (Find the sticky for supercid)
Download the 3.24 firmware. PG58.IMG and place it on your sd card.
Find the ics rom you want and put it on your sd card in no folders.
Download android revolutions superwipe script (zip) put on root of sd card.
Boot phone into bootloader (volume down plus power)
It will update your firmware to 3.24 (PG58.IMG)
Once finished choose recovery.
Find superwipe script and flash it.
Find tour ics rom and flash it. Enjoy.
Sorry for being short. Im at work and cant go grab links for you. But that is a quick run down of what you need to do granted you are already s-off and have a custom recovery installed.
Once you have successfully upgraded to ics delete the PG58.IMG zip off of your sd card.

well then you know the basic stuff on how to install ICS to your phone.
1) What you need to do now, is to follow step four(4) on this page.
follow step 4, to get CID
when you got that right, you cid should be 11111111.
2)Now, you need 4EXT. install it from here
3) you need to install Firmware. you need this FW, to get the latest android 4.0.3 with sense 3.6 to work - Firmware from 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU
found Here
you download it, put it on the root of your phone, just as the ROMs you installed before.
4)you also need superwipe, to clear all errors - found here .look for superwipe. put it on root also.
5)download the ROM you want, i have this. take the XE one, if you want beats (note XE works on your non-xe also)
put it on root.
INSTLLING:
1a)now, do a backup in your recovery, before you do anything, so if your phone gets in trouble, you can go back. DO A BACKUP!!!
1b)start by installing 4EXT.
2)then install the FW (PG58IMG.zip) as if you would install a ROM.
when its done, dont reboot. take out the SD card, and delete the PG58IMG.zip file from your SD card. but sd back into the phone.
3)Now, you do a superwipe, via 4EXT (as a rom)
4)then install the ROM you want. (always check if the rom match the FW)
during the install, it might ask you different questions, so follow carefully..
If you cant go into bootloader, go to Settings>power and unbox the Fastboot. try again...should work now.
this is all
Hi All,
I'm running CM7. I was thinking of updating my ROM to this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350492
I have a HTC Sensation (not HTC Sensation XE). I was wondering if the following steps would work for me
Steps to install:
1. Full wipe
2. Install the ROM file (HyperNonSense ICS v4.zip) through recovery
3. Boot the ROM
4. When booted, just reboot and go back into recovery
5. Flash the 2nd file (HNS_ICS_Step2.zip)
6. Reboot and now all themeing/setiings/statusbar will be OK.

I ask because CM7 is on Android 2.3.7 whereas this ROM is on 4.0.3.
Thanks very much.

Hi
This the first time I wanna try a custom rom in my device. Seems rocket science to me . My device is 3 years old now. Well outside warranty. I do not wish to buy a new device, just improve this one.
I have chosen to go with android revolution hd 7.3. I am currently using stock rom with gingerbread. Here are few questions I would like to be answered.
1. How safe is this custom rom flashy vlashy.
2. I use custom battery from anker. Will it be safe for me to flash custom rom.
3. Although there is a nest android revolution hd 7.3 thread post, I would like a step by step guide to flashing android revolution hd rom for HTC sensation for newbie/dummies.(that's me)
Answers are thanked in advance.

since you are on gingerbread firmware you can S-OFF easily your device by following this method
http://revolutionary.io/
then after S-OFF flash 3.33 universal firmware from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
so in order to flash ARHD ROM 7.3 you will need ics firmware
note: follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
after flashing 3.33 fimrware your current rom won't boot
don't panic because you have now ics firmware and your rom is gingerbread
the next step is to flash a custom recovery
follow only step 2 from here(flashing a recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
after flashing 4ext recovery the only thing you have to do is:
put your rom.zip(ARHD ROM 7.3)in your sdcard
boot to 4ext recovery
make a nandroid just in case
format all partitions except sdcard
install zip from sdcard
choose zip from sdcard
navigate to the rom.zip and flash it
done
BEFORE starting anything install in your pc sdk tools

about htc drivers since you have sdk tools installed plus htc sync don't install anything else
check with adb/fastboot command if your device is being recognized by pc
the commands are: adb devices
fastboot devices
the adb command use it when you are on the OS android and the device connected to pc
the fastboot command use it when your device is booted to the bootloader(your hboot screen should say fastboot usb)
if in both cases it shows you the device's imei then you are fine to proceed
step 6: from bootloader you will see the recovery option
navigate with volume buttons and select with power button
step 7: nandroid is a backup of your whole current android system
it backups completely everything
from recovery you will see backup/restore->backup
done
step 8: from recovery go wipe/format->format all partitions except sdcard
step 9: from recovery
the order you put is correct:good:
note: if you want put the rom.zip before starting anything to your sdcard.just to have it there when you reach to the recovery step
Thank you. It will be a while before I start the actual process.(after I stop being courage the cowardly dog).
I am hopeful that all will go well, and that this forum and you will be there to help me if I get stuck somewhere.
Finally can you tell me if overclocked cpu and RAM are a good thing in revolution Hd? I mean from cpu era I remember it was a dangerous thing to do.

you can't overclock ram in android but you can with gpu
for months i used to have overclocked my cpu up to 1836mhz and the gpu up to 320mhz without issues
but i think it is pointless
it just drains more battery
if you want to overclock don't overclock much
don't worry.i will be here
I'm pretty new to it too I just pieced it together and did it and I'm pretty happy with the results using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530073 CM11
Gotta few quirks though not sure if that's the particular rom I'm using or just my inexperience. Damned MTC drivers won't work now..
But they work in 4ext (recovery) ... I guess it's a CM11 problem.
Anyway! It's not that hard man just get 4ext installed then copy over the rom zips to the sdcard and install them from recovery after you've wiped all the data 'cept the sdcard!
The best you can do is trying a custom rom into your phone, you will note the difference, try it man!!! :laugh:
One more thing I noticed when reading up on reviews. Cm 9.1 is a senseless ROM. But compared to android revolution HD it seems to have some issues with battery life and WiFi tethering.
Though wanted to kill sense I will go with android revolution since it is my first time. I guess.
I had called htc customer support earlier because I was having a WiFi sleep issue, wifi sleeps as soon as I turn of screen, resulting in lost sync in audio calls over the web. This is what they told me!!
"Your device is now old by about 3 years or so. Thus there may be incompatibility issues."
Am a newbie but I am not a complete moron. I hate HTC sense / HTC and that stock ROM. But I think the hardware is not to be blamed. Felt like throwing phone at them after hearing that.

Man am getting confused!! Am not going to ask which is the best as i have read forum rules. But please suggest me one based on :
1. Basic phone usage should be super smooth
2. if i can get 1080 p recording ?
3. Wifi tethering is a must
4. My wifi sleeps when screen is off thus hangout and all get latency in voice and it becomes horrible. i have to keep screen on for all the time that i talk on internet.
thanks to this forum i already replaced my battery to a anker 1900mah one. So what now ? which rom. By the way i downloaded Revolution HD already. But the next part is the firmware. That page confuses me i cant understand what to download.

just flash 3.33 universal firmware as i told you
after that you can install all of ics and jb roms
avoid anything that says about firmware in any rom thread
since you have 3.32 or 3.33 you are fine to install any ics and jb rom:good:

I'm not sure I've only tried cm11. No clue about voice in sleep and whatnot, haven't tried it. I'm using CM11 with S/ON and firmware 332 all stock settings w/ the kernel. This is the rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530073
Now I see i need to update the kernel!
anyway if you decide to go with that one just get the 3 files from the download links at the bottom of the first post. The rom, the google mini installer, and the kernel and put them all on the sd card and then load up recovery/4ext.. and install each one after wiping everything cept the sdcard. I haven't done anything advanced, this is all pretty simple. Thinking I'll try revolution but if it ain't broke don't fix it!!
I've had nothing but luck with Sultan's Cyanogenmod11 rom on the 3.0 kernel. It has the minimalism of a "pure android" experience without all the bloatware and crazy aftermarket interfaces that I personally feel detract from the android experience.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2530073
Just a word of advice is to use the latest RC of 4ext as your recovery to flash Android 4.4 roms due to SELinux being turned on by default. Beyond that, once you have the recovery installed, installing this rom (or any rom really) is just a matter of rebooting to recovery>wiping data/factory reset>flash rom>flash gapps> reboot
Cheers buddy!
