[Q] How do I install ROM's like ARDH and CoreDroid? Help please! - HTC Sensation

Firstly, Hello to all, this is my first post over here. I had recently bought a Sensation XE 2 weeks ago after using my SE x10i successfully for 3 years (Which looks more attractive now that I have rooted it and installed a custom ROM, all thanks to XDA ). I decided to root my XE too, but ended up finding out that I had done the OTA update and now the process for S-OFF became a lot more complicated(for a noob like me ofcourse, this is my 2nd root only.).
I used this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21922297#post21922297
First unlocked the bootloader using HTCDev, then installed CWM recovery and then flashed a custom 2.3.3 ROM(Real Stock Experience) given in the guide itself which ended up messing up my camera and wifi. I found out that I could fix these errors if I flashed the boot.img when the bootloader was unlocked by HTCdev itself but till then I had already locked it and used Revolutionary on it. So all I did was backed up my Stock ROM and did a Perm Root as given here in Step 3:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Now, everything's fine and I am running a rooted v2.3.4 Android with Revolutionary S-OFF, HBOOT 1.17.1111. But now I want to install a custom ICS ROM in it like COREDROID and ARHD but these require some FIRMWARE update before flashing the ROM's. I have no idea as to how I could do that, sorry to be so nooby, but it's my first time. If someone could tell me how to flash these ROM's properly I would be really thankful!

Hey man, thanks for the super-fast reply.
I opened up the guide and it is pretty appropriate for my problem, but one question it says HBOOT 1.27 everywhere but I have HBOOT 1.17. What do I do?

You can download the adequate firmware at the dev forum, put the file on your SD card, reboot your device to enter bootloader, and the firmware will auto upgrade.(hboot,radio,etc). Then you can flash custom Rom with recovery.

[GUIDE][2.3.4 OFFICIAL HTC S-OFF ROOT] Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2-1.35.401.1_P2

THIS IS FOR UNBRANDED 401 PHONES ONLY! IT MIGHT WORK FOR OTHERS BUT I WOULD RATHER NOT TRY...
Update 2011/08/14
Added more information and details
Renamed thread into GUIDE
Using this guide will reset your device into a vanilla 2.3.4 HTC Sensation phone. Your SD-Card wont be touched and you will have S-OFF and root. This will lock your bootloader but that should not be a problem since you are still S-OFF and can flash whatever you want - except the bootloader. I tested these steps and i have a 2.3.4 401 Sensation with Locked HBOOT, S-OFF and root.
If you want S-OFF & ROOT on the latest HTC 2.3.4 ROM follow the steps:
1) Backup
2) Get S-OFF on 2.3.3 (Guide Thread)
3) Recover your phone with original 2.3.3 Update
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc03797/n/RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.900 7.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed.exe
4) Update to 2.3.4 via "Over The Air" (OTA) or using OpenRecovery (OR). I did not use the OR-Method but you can find a lot of information about here. I do not advertise any guides for the OR-method since i did not test them myself.
4) Execute step 2.1 to 2.6 from the Sensation Guide (Guide Thread)
5) Get root again: Sensation Guide 3.1 to 3.12 (Guide Thread)
Have fun!

How? Can some please explain step by step?
Thanks
anyone have a change log? google failed me for once in my life
The 2.3.4 update include an new hboot Version 1.18...
Are u sure that u can install cwm and root the phone again after applying the update?
I think u will be s-on again after the hboot get changed...
Everything I'm reading (the two other threads about this update) says the above method will NOT work. I don't think the OP even tried. Wait for a real dev to cook this up.

Oh boy Some of use knew this was gonna happen
do not flash this to a stock rooted rom - it will **** it up - wait for your favourite dev to update their rom
flashing this will give you the new locked htc bootloader and you will not be s-off anymore (even though it still says you are)
it's taken me nearly 3 hours to get back to normal

When I say I'm S-OFF again, I mean I'm back to my old 2.3.3 ROM before I flashed the new update.
Everyone, DO NOT TRY AND FLASH THIS OVER YOUR ROOTED PHONE - WAIT FOR YOUR ROM TO BE UPDATED BY THE DEVS

Hi all,
I've just done this update
Backup with Titanium
Reflash with 2.3.3 stock ROM (my Sensation was already S-Off)
OTA update to 2.3.4
ClockWork Recovery
Root
Restore with Titanium
Reboot and that's it
No OTA
I did exactly like shown in the first post, but i wont get the update ota. It sais that my phone is actually actual.
Could I have done something wrong?
Got the Sensation from T-mobile -> debrandet it like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033
And used the RUU version from the first post.
Thanks
done as suggested - works fine for me!
I was off this weekend.
I posted this howto cause i did it with my phone. Whyever would i post a guide when it does not work?!
Using this guide will lock your bootloader but that should not be a problem since you are still S-OFF and can flash whatever you want - except the bootloader.
At least thats the case for me.

no - i did not try to.
I am pretty happy with my phone right now. Fast and long battery pack - replaced Sense with LP.
When testing the early (pre-soff) custom roms and test recoverys I had to flash stock RUUs a couple of times.
To get the phone back into a decent state I needed to pg58 flash eng&unsecured boot then root and fastboot recovery.
Can't for the life of me think why anyone would s-off their phone then install stock/ota for any reason (bar repair). It's like buying a track day race car, shouting "look what I've got" then pushing it around rather than thrashing it.

If you just flash the new hboot, it will say lock at the top of the bootloader screen. But you should be able to flash eng hboot, cause I just tried it.

Thanks. That's what I thought. I removed the hboot from the OTA before flashing it so couldn't confirm for myself. There's been a lot of conflicting information about whether phones are still S-OFF after running the unmodified OTA but it appears that they are. I only ran the RUU then OTA so I could have a backup of a stock 1.45 system.img.

Np, i was trying to figure out how to flash pg2fs_spcustom.img and I found out that the only way to do it was to flash the new hboot first than it would read that pg2fs img.

[Q] Some Questions about rooting Desire S

Hi,
I´ve been reading through the forum for the past days, but still a lil bit confused about the procedure. Some threads say no you must do it like this, the other thread says under no circumstances do it like the way in the other thread....
Desire S:
***Locked***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.00.0002
Radio 3822.10.08.04_M
Android 2.3.5
SoftwareNr. 2.10.401.8​
As far as i understand, first i have to use HTCDev to unlock the bootloader. Then downgradehboot to 98
Next get s-off via Revolutionary and Use SuperOneClick to root?
Final follow instructions to install a custom rom klick ?
Forget something? Or is their any easier way?
Sry for my bad english .
Thanks in advance.
I don't know your hboot, for me it was not necessary to downgrade.
But so far you're plan sounds good just backup everything before flashing a new ROM

If I root my DS, using this guide, i'll be able to install ALL custom ROMs?
I unlocked Bootloader via HTCDev, flashed 4EXTRecovery, flashed SuperUser via recovery.When i tried to flash Virtuous Unity, device stucked at HTC logo.
If I use that guide, will i be able to flash custom ROM?
@3st
You don't need to use HTCdev to downgrade.
By using HTCdev you are possible screwing your warranty.
So to simplify,
Option 1) Use HTCdev to unlock, then install custom recovery, then either root or install a rom using recovery.
Option 2) Downgrade, then use Revolutionary to s-off and install a custom recovery, then as above either root or flash rom with recovery.

when you unlock via htcdev you need to flash the boot.img separately when flashing a custom ROM.

Okay, i'll try this.
Thx for the answer
There are couple threads in the General section explaing how to downgrade hboot without unlocking at htcdev.com
You should try them first.
eyahl, if i'll want to flash another ROM, i'll have to flash boot.img again?
dmatik, already unlocked, but thanks.I'll watch them

Yep
But you need to flash the boot.img of the new ROM, not the old one you already flashed before. (sounds logically, but some ppl. seem to be not able to think logically...)

You are talking about sense 4 roms but asking for root
You can't just flash sense4 roms...just because you have root access..
If you mean getting SOFF which will render you to flash roms then ..its not possible for you right now..but there is an alternative ...but that alternative costs you your warranty(most probably)..
So decision is yours...
I recommend you to stay stock as of now if you got loads of warranty left

First of all don't confuse with getting "rooted" ..getting rooted will only give you complete access to your ROM..like literally doing anything with any app..also you can control your device completely.
All the custom Roms comes with root access..(see....... this root is actually part of Rom)
For you to flash custom Rom ..you essentially need unlocked bootloader...(having SOFF was mandatory earlier..but HTC started giving unlocked bootloader at the cost of your warranty..so you can Still install custom roms also sense 4 roms)
As you are fine with your warranty getting void
1. You need to unlock your bootloader from HTC dev site..(this is where you may void your warranty)
2.Then you need to flash a custom recovery..i highly recommend 4EXT recovery latest(1.0.0.5) which has smartflash mode(exclusive SON mode)
Get the recovery from this thread..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759..
Flashing recovery has never been this easy...just download the recovery updater and install ..your recovery through an apk just don't forget to say "yes" when asked whether you are SON during installing the recovery..
3. Then after recovery is done...just download your custom ROM..keep it on root of sdcard...and flash it (by following the steps provided in OP of your custom Rom thread)

Everybody explain that rooting is very easy but is not like 1 to 3 step . I put a "recovery" img wich let me to navigate to recovery from bootloader but when I select recovery...nothing happing ( like flashing super user.zip or other thing) just after a while is restarting. For me the bootloader unlocked from htcdev means NOTHING just a sicksea. All the respect for the guys wich are searching new modes to unlock.

A couple noobie questions

Hello everyone,
I’m a total rookie by the way and and have spent a decent amount of time reading on my own before posting anything here. I am wanting to flash cm9 on my sensation 4g. Based on some of the research I have done, before I can flash cm9 I first need to install stock ics in order to get the 3.32 firmware correct? I also thought I read somewhere that before I can update the firmware I first need to update the hboot version (currently my hboot is 1.17.1111) but now I can’t find where I read that.
As I’m reading some of the guides on how to flash these roms it seems like all of them are saying “make sure you have cwm recovery installed”. Well when I first rooted my phone I was watching some youtube videos and following the steps. For some reason the one I chose had me install teamwin recovery, so that is what I use instead of cwm recovery. Does that make any difference? Can I still update firmware and flash ics roms with twrp?

Get supercid,root,s-off and cwm after thats done first download your desired rom and also the 3.32 firmware first boot into recovery flash the rom..
Then when its done just power off hold volume down + power (make sure fastboot is disabled ) and update firm ware reboot delete the pg58img from root of your sdcard and voila!

well, you don't need to install the stock ics rom, but you need to flash the 3.32 firmware, that allows you to run ics roms...
I suggest you to install 4ext recovery, I don't know if you have to downgrade your hboot, mine was the right one and I don't know hot to do that, you'll find a guide or something like that on this forum...
if you have already rooted I think that you will not have any problem flashing a recovery or the fw...
and, my personal suggestion...if you want aosp experience flash aokp official rom, I tried both roms and aokp is more stock feeling

You have 1.17.1111 Hboot which tells me you are S-offed via Revolutionary. This means you can flash the 3.32 firmware that is linked in the ARHD ROM thread and then flash any Android 4.0.3 ROM you want to flash.
The Team win Recovery works just as good a Clockwork Mod Recoveryto me, 4EXT Recovery is my preferred re overy. You can use Team Win Recovery to flash any of the things you mentioned.

Hi, deltateam
I just finished S-OFF-ing my Desire S, HBOOT 2.00.0002. It took me 3 days for all the reading, searching, trying and failing, etc. So I think this might be of use for you.
The link for ENG HBOOT in the method you're linking to in the first post, is outdated. So here's what I have done:
I used this method. But here is some additional info.
After completing step 8 I found that I can't root it with SuperOneClick, so I S-OFFed it with Revolutionary first. After doing this you should have a S-OFFed device with HBOOT 0.98.0000 (or 0002, depending on which RUU you chose to downgrade to).
You can now successfully root it with SuperOneClick. Do NOT restart your phone. Restarting it in Recovery is not needed.
The next step links to the same method you linked to in the first post but as I said, the link there is outdated. So I found this post. It's basically the same thing but it has ENG HBOOT attached to it and it's the same as the one from zumodrive - I compared the md5sums. :cyclops:
After completing step 10 and restarting to bootloader you should now see that you have S-OFFed ENG HBOOT 2.00.002. You may want to flash the recovery again as (most likely) Revolutionary flashed its own recovery.
Also, you can still boot the old ROM, which you used for the HBOOT downgrade but of course you should flash new ROM soon. You may also update the RADIO to more recent one as the old RUU downgraded it and the Fallout ROM doesn't have a radio included.
Good luck with the ROM and I hope this helped

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, this is what I meant - an official RUU Rom will change the RADIO but if you update it after that and flash a new custom Rom, it will stay unaffected (i.e. "updated").
ok one question, i unlocked my desire s on htcdev site, i instal clockwork mod recovery and rooted with super user, i install fallout, but on the screen stay black boot scren htc desire htd, and system not but, i try with sabsa rom, and ice ds and roms not boot, bootloder is unlocked s-on and rooted, where i am wrong???
Did u flash boot.img in fastboot?

from rom zip?
Yes from the zip. U will have to do this every time u flash a rom, all htcdev unlock has to do this process.
