I was wondering if anyone could post a guide for rogers users to flash custom roms since they are all based of att roms. I have read it involves changing the Super CID or something. Anyhelp would be appreciated.
Thanks

it is recommended to change your CID to SuperCID, however, for rogers users we don't need to..since our bootloader is unlockable from htcdev straight.
for custom roms.
1. unlock your bl if you havent
2. flash the custom recovery image, cwm or trwp..
3. put ur custom roms in your internel sdcard, and go from there.

yes, then you need to change to supercid and then relock your bootloader.
flash 1.85 ruu
unlock your bootloader
flash cwm
then flash cleanrom 2.1

This is the part that is confusing...we do or do not need to have SuperCID? For one, I have been holding off on installing any of the custom ROMs as im not sure about this step. I've been unable to successfully get SuperCID on my rooted/unlocked/CWM installed Rogers HOX. Would love to try some of the new ROMs. A Rogers specific guide would be awesome. Anyone up to it?

I'm pretty sure you only need SuperCID if you plan on using any of the other region's RUUs.
I think that the normal CID should be fine for just flashing CWM ROMs

That clears things up...So I just copy a ROM to the phone memory, enter CWM and select it?

Read the top post of the ROM thread you want to flash. It will usually tell you if there are any extra steps.
In particular, some ROMs may require that your kernel be from a certain firmware version. For example, many of the ROMs right now are based on the 1.85 kernel. But you can often flash the newer kernel by pushing the boot.img for the custom ROM using fastboot. But it should say in the particular ROM thread you are looking at.

What ROM do you want to flash? CleanROM 2.2 and Xi40 now have flashable boot images (boot.img). So no need to update to 1.85 first.
Sweet...gonna give it a try!

Hi this is my first android phone, so I want to make sure I do this right.
Do I need to relock my bootloader after unlocking it to run 1.85 ruu?
If yes what am I actually upgrading in this step? If not, I can just flash 4.0.4/2.20 clean rom 4.5 after I have unlocked the bootloader?
Would the steps be like this?
1. 1 click change CID
2. Unlock from HTCdev
3. Flash TWRP recovery
4. Flash ROM?
Thanks!
Yep. If you're rooted then you have the right procedure. Skip 1.85
I believe that the only things that remain untouched by rooting, unlocking, and loading a custom rom are the radio (need to flash separately) and hboot (untouchable until we get s-off). (Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.)
I RUU'd to 1.82 when I unlocked but haven't done anything else since.
The newest roms incorporate the latest software versions. You don't want to update hboot to the latest version because they've change the security.
Thanks.
Should I flash the newer radio too? I can't seem to find it.

I would start with the one that matches your rom. You may feel like experimenting with others, as people have reported different results with different combinations. I am using the 2.20 radio with a 2.23-based rom.

You don't need S-Off to flash a custom ROM; an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery is sufficient. More details instructions in the Ace Think Tank thread linked in my signature.

I'm lost cuz I read alot in many sites about how can I flash a custom rom and I faild to do it cuz almost pf the sites I read them . there are many missing files.and I'm new in theses things
plz
1- I have downloaded this rom and I want to instill it in my fone leedroid 2.2.2 in my fone
Can I download it
if so plz tell me the steps to do it
2- how can I make my fone works in another carrier
I will be thankful for you
I will delete the other thread
Like I said. Read the Ace Think Tank thread.
Hint: you need to flash a recovery from fastboot, then flash a ROM from recovery, then flash a boot.img from fastboot. And for carrier compatibility, you need to read the manual S-Off portion.
Inspire 4g update problem
Hello, I have an htc inspire 4g running OS 2.3.3 Gingerbread and I want to root it so I can flash custom rom but I need to downgrade the firmware first or else it wont work.
Other problem facing me is this that I need to flash in pd98img but when unfortunately bootloader is locked in my opinion because it is not detecting the img file.
When I tried to unlock the bootloader it says hboot update needed.
I need to know that how can I update the hboot of HTC inspire 4g.
I would be really thankful if I get a solution

Run a RUU that supports bootloader unlocking. If you do this with a PD98IMG.zip you need to put the file in the root of the SD card and name the zip exactly that.
Thanks for the reply.
I really appreciate it but please can you provide me with the link of the RUU because I was unable to find such RUU after several attempts.

Your RUU depends on which DHD software version you are running. If you can't find one you need to make s gold card and flash another version's RUU.

Why are you trying to get S-Off? I'm not willing to help other people with the manual S-Off method because I haven't done it personally and it's a method meant for advanced users who don't need help anyway; if you need help I advise that you stick to just unlocking your bootloader.
ADB and fastboot are two separate things. You can fastboot flash the boot.img without bricking the phone, yes. My signature has instructions for flashing the boot.img.
If the battery level fell, it fell...flashing stuff takes a lot of power. If you let it hang on the splash for awhile I could see it dropping 90%.

If it takes more than a minute, you probably didn't flash the boot.img.
Because I didn't understand the question. And still don't. With an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery, the procedure for flashing all ROMs is the same.

Another Problem
Hello, Now I am facing another problem.
The AAHK says that I have to downgrade my radio through flashing PD98IMG.ZIP but my bootloader is not detecting the file.
The effen-manual says that I have to relock my bootloader.
Now I am not sure that currently my bootloader is locked or unlocked? or else should I have to unlock it first through HTCDev and then relock it?
Please it has been 4 months I am trying to root but I couldnt find a solution.

Hello all,
So finally, I have managed to S-OFF my phone using JuonoputBear (I never get this spelling right!). Downloaded the latest version for Ubuntu and can't believe I only did the wire trick once and it was done.
But anynow, to my surprise, the JB tool went on installing the JB hboot itself. Initially I thought it would ask me to install it or not and I would refuse it but... it didn't even give me the option. So now I am stuck with the JB hboot which I dont want.
So the questions is, is there any way I can revert back to the stock hboot?
Thanks guys, all your help made it possible for me to S-OFF my phone.
Regards
just to know that with patched hboot you are fully unlocked and you can use all fastboot commands
i don't find a reason to return to official hboot

Thanks for the reply. The reason I wanted to go back to stock hboot was that its highly unlikely that I would be using those extra fastboot commands. Besides, I dont like the Juoponutbear logo on top of the hboot.
Also, now that I am S-OFF, I am kind of gone sensitive to installing any ROM. I intend to install Android Revolution HD ROM but I dont want to flash anything wrong on my device like Radio etc. I only want to flash whats need to run that new custom ROM. I guess that doesn't include the kernel as I already have ICS stock ROM.
Can anyone point me to the right direction? Where I can find the steps to install custom ROM without any risk of flashing something wrong?
Thanks.

Hi,
There is no way you can "Accidently" install a radio.
You are not in bootloader for any length of time normally,so ,it should not matter what is written at the top.
That is just the way Juoponutbear operates and leaves it's mark.
It is the only way to s-off for you,so ,you are stuck with it.
Unless you s-on again.
As for flashing ROMS,put it on the root of your sd card,choose zip,install zip.
That's it.
EDIT:
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
If you flash Kohr-Ah's Universal 3.33 firmware,does it say Universal at the top?

Is that all? I thought that once you have flashed the zip package, you have to extract the "boot.img" from that zip package of the ROM and flash it separately?

Sorry I had to come back on this one. I was checking the Android Rev. HD thread and in the download section it said it is necessary to flash new firmware package before flashing this ROM/ And the firmware package also contains radio flashing.
Since I am on Stock ICS at the moment and my firmware is 3.32. Do I still need to flash my firmware?

It may be I am mistaken. I thought it was baked but i was also trying a rom I was trying to port. During the time i was flashing from 1.09 to 2.14 and also seen that baked required 2.14. So with all that going on i was just trying boot.img and then the rom to ensure no errors.
Hi All,
I have been reading various guides on how to flash my HTC Sensation it is currently running the stock ICS 4.0.3 and using HBOOT 1.27. I would like to update it to Jellybean and I have been looking at the CyanogenMod for this or if someone else has any other suggestions. With the current software my phone is running really slow and lags.
I am really confused on what the best procedure is and how to do it, I have found this utility but if someone could give me some hints to where I start.
I think I may have got the drift of some things:
1. Go to HTCDEV and unlock the bootloader
2. Take S-OFF using JuopunutBear
3. Install 4EXT
4. Become SuperCID
5. Flash new Jellybean ROM
Options 1 and 2 seem OK but I am not sure how to proceed with the other steps and if it is the way I should be doing it and it is is all possible with my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

there is no need to do both steps 1 and 2
go can use either this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
or this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
only with the second guide you can supercid
After looking at SuperCID is it really necessary? Or do you need to do this for custom ROMS. I know its for carrier specific ROMS but my phone is not branded.

it is not necessary for custom roms
it is only useful for flashing any ruu.exe

+1. Not to mention, if u are upgrading from ics to jb, there's no need for ruu. Your current firmware (3.32/3.33) will support jb. So you could flash jb even s-on.

I have Software Version 3.33.401.53 so I can just:
1. Unlock the boot loader
2. Flash a recovery using the all in one tool
3. Flash cyanmod 10
Is this correct?

Yes. Remember to use 4ext recovery with SmartFlash. See this.

Thanks for all your help, I managed to flah Cyanogen 9 the stable version which is Android Version 4.0.4, when version 10 is stable or stops going nightly I will flash to that to get JellyBean unless there is a stable ROM anyone knows about.
Also I see that this ROM has ROM Manager installed and you can flash ClockwordMod Recovery is it worth doing that or shall I just stick to 4EXT?
And
If I was to flash another ROM I guess I just do it from 4EXT and will this wipe all my data and apps again?

You are correct. Flash Roms from 4ext. You can back up your apps and the data with titanium backup.
By the way, albino's cyanogenmod 10.1 is labeled as stable. It has really good performance and has pretty much no bugs.

I'll stick to 4EXT and I guess when I want to flash new ROMs I should always select smart flash because I have S-ON?

SmartFlash is, in a way, the easiest way to flash roms s-on.
ALTERNATIVELY, to flash roms s-on (without smartflash), say with some other recovery,
Extract boot.img from whichever rom you want to flash. It typically resides in the kernel folder.
Enter fastboot mode and use:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
.
Watch this.
