[KERNEL] Complete Stock Sensation 4G (TMOUS) 1.50.x Kernel CWM - HTC Sensation

This is a Complete stock Tmobile USA Sensation 4G Kernel taken from RUU and made into a CWM flashable zip. I have been searching for one but haven't found anything similar to this. I used a zip file from XDA to make my own flashable zip , but I don't know where it came from or who to give thanks to.
File is attached. If it helped anyone, please hit thanks.
-Stock 1.2 GHz Kernel
-Includes Wifi Fix Files
Personally, I think this should be added to the reference thread.
Edit:
Forgot to add the usual
I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKS OR IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE. YOU ARE FLASHING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Do you have access to the radio +ril of the original RUU? I'm really interested in trying to see if that will give us TMOUS users the data speeds we enjoyed on gingerbread

is this the one from ICS or GB?

I'll take a look later tonight for the radio files

Well I found the radio.img. No indication of RIL but since they are somewhat related, they are probably just in this file. For some reason though, I can't extract the img like I could with the kernel. If you want to mess with it, then I uploaded it here:

Also, attached is a list of everything that is in the RUU

[Radio][28th November 2010] 2.42.02.10.29 Sprint CDMA Hero

Ok, so for those of you who are wondering where to find the new Sprint CDMA HTC Hero radio, here it is This is for Sprint users on any rom; however if you're using Firerat's, it will not be as simple as flashing the radio. For those of you running Firerat's, either follow these instructions to flash the radio or see this thread. For those of you NOT running Firerat's, here are the steps to flash:
Download the radio and place on the root of your sd card
Choose "install zip from sd card" in recovery
Select the radio
It should flash, and then ask you to reboot the phone via the menu.
Select "reboot phone" from the recovery menu
The phone should reboot, with a big box and android showing
The phone will then go back to recovey, and say "Formating Cache..."
Wait about 5 seconds, and then reboot!
You're done then, new radio should be flashed! Let me know if you need anything or want to express thanks!
Thanks to Nfinite for the radio pull, here's the MD5 for it: F15CF77B1C08CFB1F357E2574F386F5F
Thanks for this. I revamped my HBOOT thread and included a link to here to encourage people to use this method whenever possible.

You both are so awesome, thank you!
Did not seem to impact signal so far, though I've only tried laying here in bed. I'll report back after work Monday, as that is always the major radio killer spot for me.
Side note: could be a placebo, but data does ' seem' snappier. I'll report back Monday and hopefully have more answers.
At least as good, if not better so THANKS!!!

No noticeable difference as of yet, but we'll see once I get home how it fares.
Since I use firerats and that method seems daunting, any potential issues with just staying with the old radio? I am due a new phone in Feb and just thinking it might be 'easier' to just stick with the old...also, does anyone know if the PRL is still 60671 or has that been updated also?
Will this work on various software build versions of the stock (rooted) Sprint Hero? Just asking because I didn't upgrade to the latest OTA so I'm still running 2.31.651.7.

Yes it will work.It won't change from custom rom to custom rom.Only if you flash a different radio or if your service provider changes it in a update.(Impaler or anybody if I'm wrong please feel free to correct me.)

That's a rom issue, not a radio issue. I'd flash deca's 691 capped CFS kernel; that should fix it

if you ran my rom with no issues then you flashed this winzipped radio and have issues now that most likely is not a problem caused by the rom

[Rom] Rooted Stock 4.53.651.1

Here is the 4.53.651.1 OTA I pulled off my phone last night. it has the lastest superuser.apk included and it is completely stock no modifications done to it at all. I have included a link to a deodex version and a odexed version.
Any feedback on how they run is appreciated and any questions are welcomed.
deodex version I have tested the odexed version I have not.
Update:
This doesn't flash the new radio yet, I will be adding it here soon so please be patient while that is done.
Update 2:
Ok I have uploaded a PC36IMG.zip to flash via hboot to upgrade you to the newest radio, just upload it to the root of your sd-card and reboot into hboot and make sure to choose yes when it asks.
Latest Radio PC36IMG.zip
4.53.651.1-deodex-signed.zip
4.53.651.1-odexed-signed.zip
Here are the steps I took to achieve this OTA if anyone is curious
Bought new evo to replace my epic
Ran revolution to obtain s-off
flashed amon_ra
booted to recovery made nand backup
flashed su*.apk (beta4)
rebooted phone
pulled boot.img out of the nand backup
ran adb pull /system/ /OTA
deodexed it to create a deodex version
put together the odex and deodex verions
No need to PM an Evo forum mod. I frequent the Evo forums daily, purely based on the fact that there is ALWAYS a thread that needs cleaned due to certain individuals acting like a bunch of kids.
So please, lets keep the discussion civilised and on topic.
Thank you for the clean up.

Your can find the answer to your first question here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16461907&postcount=2
As far as flashing a radio make sure your on a sense rom, there and plenty to choose from. You have to have S-Off otherwise it wont work. Put the PC36IMG file on the root of your sdcard, boot into bootloader and follow the instructions. Update profile/prl after the radio updates.
Hope that helps you out.

There are many custom roms that allow you to tether with your phone. I personally donĀ“t use it but if I am not wrong CoreDroid V9.2 (which is my current rom) allows you to do that....is not necessary to go back to froyo stock. The best way to find out is to search in the dev's forum the different roms or ask in the Q&A section.

Seems like it. I flashed the one from invisiblek's modem thread with the filename VRLI5.modem.zip and it's working fine for me.
EDIT: Never mind, that's not the modem. According to this post it seems to be related to power management. I never flashed it, unless it was included with the modem zip.

I'm still new to Samsung, so someone correct me if I'm way off-base, but the gist I got was that when a new rom (or leak) comes from verizon, it includes rom+kernel+rpm+modem... which on an HTC device we called rom+kernel+firmware+radio. So my understanding is that if you just flash the new radios without the new firmware that matches up with what your dev used as a base, there could be compatibility issues.
(Much more knowledgeable people discussed this in the Cleanrom thread as in those links above).
i understand all of that...just trying to figure out what exactly is rpm. thx !

In simple terms if I understand correctly it installs files that you don't get in flashing a ROM. Gives you an option if you don't want to go back to stock via Odin and OTA back up to current version.

RIL files and Power Managment files to coincide with ROM and Modem version to avoid possible conflicts and issues?

ahh ok now were getting somewhere! thx!!
So does an odin back to stock undo whatever this file does or does another rpm file need to be flashed to undo it?

If you Odin to a prior version of stock, it should be included in the zip which simultaneously changes the modem. The reason an rpm is being discussed is because when flashing custom roms and modems, this isn't updated. Think of an Odin flash of older images as "reversing an update," all those same files are added when you accept an OTA, so they'll be changed if you Odin an older stock image.
If I'm wrong, I'll gladly redact my comment but that's what I understand from this discussion.

Thanks, it's starting to make more sense to me. I'm not unfamiliar with root but typically only do so to eliminate bloat, otherwise I'm happy with stock builds. The JB leak changed things a little so I want to get a better handle on what I'm installing and why.
stable
Why can't this just be simple.....I just want a good stable everything and then leave it alone.....Will that ever happen?

flash back to stock and leave your device alone...pretty simple.
So if we revert to a ROM backup, do we need to manually turn back the rpm as well, like we do with the modem? Sounds like we need vrali5 for jb leak. I will play around with jb for awhile though go back to ICS for everyday stability use, until I find a jb I like. Do I need to revert the rpm when I restore ICS? Where do I find older rpms. Thanks.
