I just did the downgrade from 2.00 to 0.98 and S-off
Now I have to flash a new rom (I would try ics)
I have to update the radio?
Now is the old version(20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11)
if I flash it, should I first flash the rom or radio?
which can I use, from ota or from ruu?
sorry for english

No, you don't need a new radio for ICS - this is not samsung. As a general rule, don't play with the radio unless absolutely necessary.
It's risky business, and the benefit is not worth the potential hazard.
Cheers
EDIT : As a general piece of friendly advice, I would suggest you flash stable GB ROMs and play around for a bit before jumping into the world of beta ICS ROMs. Get a feel of the stable stuff before you spoil your flashing experience with random reboots and system freezes at the onset.

which country do you llve?...and on which network?
I'd recommend the radio that I'm on (see my signature)
But to back up what has just been said, don't bother changing radios unless you experience issues.
thanks for advice
p.s.: I'm from Italy, H3G network

The reason why I asked is so that you can get a local user from the same location hopefully on the same network to recommend you a radio rather than someone on the other side of the planet

I disagree I'd flash the ENG 98.2 hboot instead.....as that works fine....unless you intend to flash a stock sense 3.0 rom all of the customs work on either.
I know that I'm on the later one, but I can't be bothered to downgrade

Hello as it happens I believe that I've already come across your question and commented on it.
You shouldn't really go off-topic in someone elses thread like you just did, you could always use PM to identify your thread to me, or wait until your thread is answered.

My Desire is unbranded (not by me), so I don't get the OTA upgrades. I currently have 1.47.401.4 stick rom with sense 2.1 I would like to try a custom ROM to obtain sense 3.x. I prefer something close to the HTC stock rom.
I found some interesting ROMS in the dev forum, however most threads about roms do not mention if the new HBOOT is required or if the old HBOOT will also work. I currently have HBOOT 0.98.2000 (ENG).

Does upgrading to the new hboot makes any sense at all? According to their signatures many people in this forum have upgrade to their hboot. What's the advantage?

There is no advantage , in fact disadvantages.....
So don't bother upgrading yet.
I don't think it will ever be really required. Unless HTC decided to really put Sense on a Mc'Donalds diet of Tripple-Double-Quater Pounders ;-).
Could go either way though, the phone very rarely hits the 300mb cache quota, so I guess it could go either way.

Thanks for the replies. I am more confident now to try a custom rom on my DS.
Could anyone help me by giving me few steps towards doing this? Once I complete is successfully I will edit this and post a full, detailed guided for anyone else looking to do the same thing.
What I have:
-HTC Sensation which has the latest Android update (never rooted, never changed from anything default)
-I downloaded the RUU 1.5... TMOUS
-I saw that I need to do a bootloader from HTCdev on my phone and Install Android SDK
Can anyone PLEASE give me a little better guide on what to do exactly?
Often people just say "its in the forums, here's a link" and the link will take me to a million other links and explanations. Very confusing and I wasn't able to find a good explanations for us noobs.
THANK YOU ALL!

JuopunutBear to S-OFF. Flash GB RUU
All you have to do is run the RUU. Make sure your PC has the appropriate drivers for your device and HTC Sync. I had to restore a few times using the stock 1.73.401.4 RUU for my Sensation XE, and that is all that I had installed. I can verify that root is not needed in my experience although I did have S-Off.
I hope this helps.
Don't need HTC Sync installed. Just need the drivers. Not sure if RUU comes with said drivers. Need to be S-OFF to downgrade hboot. ICS hboot is NOT compatible with GB (1.23 is, but that's not what's included with the latest RUUs).
Without S-OFF, you CANNOT RUU back to GB.
If it were so simple as flashing GB RUU, we wouldn't need JuopunutBear
downgrade is very complicated.
root the current ICS and install recovery
Juopunubear S-OFF (require htcdev unlock and root)
downgrade firmware to 1.17
flash GB rom or run GB RUU

This is a thread for SENSATION NOT samsung
Hi, I've been browsing through XDA for a long time now only now have I created an account
since most of my questions are being ask by others, likewise, answered by others.
I would just like to personally ask (Questions bugging me for some time now)
My HBOOT is 1.29, can I use JB method for S-OFF? Is the wire trick really safe?
I'm running on ARHD 6.7.1 with 3.33.401 firmware but with a 11.69A radio, since I cannot yet update my firmware should I revert back to 6.6.X?

Check my signature (A great starting point etc) for a variety of methods to s-off

You do not need to change ROMS to do it.

Not the place for it dude. You generally don't post in the Android Development forums unless you've made a ROM, or a kernel or something. Reposting this in general or Q&A will get you more help
As others have pointed out questions go in the Q&A section. A simple scroll through the threads here however would have shown you a few threads on what you are looking for such as this one

HTC dev unlock the bootloader and this isn't the way to s off but it is a step in the right direction you will be able to flash Rom but not radios or firmware and the there's another way you could try and find the ruu that contains the hboot 1.17 and if successful you can then head over to alpha revolutionary and then s off and by the way I have that ruu that will get you where you want to be you are welcome to pm me if you like I know what it feels like when you have a sensation with hboot 1.17 I guess you can say I'm part of the old school pack have the hboot 1.17 everything is possible and easy so I kepp that ruu when I need to go back to stock Rom

hi,

After some extensive searching both in and out of XDA, I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. So if the information has already been posted, please cut me some slack - I did do some leg work first before posting.
I am currently on hboot 1.09 and have s-off, running ViperXL (Sense based ROM). I was wanting to flash some of the new ROMs with the 3.4 kernel which all require 1.14 hboot and 3.18 firmware. While I was looking for instructions I did stumble into some threads where people have bricked their phones flashing the 3.18 firmware updates and etc so that gave me some cause for alarm.
Bottom line...I couldn't find any exact instructions on how to update the firmware and hboot with steps to insure I don't bork my phone. If anyone's got a link or care to help me out I'd appreciate it.
You're s-off so you should be fine. The cases where users have bricked their phones happened they were SuperCID and s-on and ran an RUU, bad idea.
Is your phone an att model? Or Rogers? Or an unlocked Hong Kong version?
