Just download the 3.33 firmware from the Friendly Firmware thread and flash it via bootloader. Full instructions are in the thread.

3.24 Firmware Help ASAP

So I upgraded my firmware to 3.24 for ARHD ICS but then wanted to try TripNice ICS AOSP now it is in a bootloop. Then I tried CM7 but had the same thing do i need to downgrade my firmware help please
Are you doing a full wipe of your data, cache, and delvik cache when you flash the ROM? Also I am not positive but you may need to be super cid to flash the ROM you want to use.

Thanks for the help
tripnice works only inder its own firmware version which trip made, you can find it in the same forum where his ROM is
for CM7 you have to downgrade your firmware to 3.12 which can be found in this thread:

Best plan is to superCID your phone. You then never gave to worry as you can flash any firmware/ruu. Sticky guide in dev thread.

If you look in the ROM thread, the developer should mention which Firmware you need to use. 3.32 is the most stable right now, so I would assume that you should upgrade to that and then try again.
Regarding your CID#, you can change as mentioned in Step 4 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
OR
You can add your CID# to the list as mentioned in the first post in the link that stringer posted

ok I superCID the phone changed the cidnum to 111111 before and put the Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU but nothing happened maybe the one I put before was same version...I installed the coredroid 4.1 sense 3.6 and the phone looks ok but it turns of frequently and after a call it power's off don't understand...maybe anyone can suggest a stable ROM because for what all that started was to preserve battery life.... so I got stuck in that maybe should I restore from a backup that I made before???

I was on like...1.27 and it flashed just fine. It should work on 3.32 and 3.33. Try and flash again the Rom, wipe first thoe. Hope I helped

I think you should only have problems if you use a newer android version on a older firmware. The firmware has some type of backwards compatibility in them but roms can become buggy if you uses a older firmware.

To update the firmware put the pg58img file on root of sd card,boot into bootloader by removing battery, place battery back in, press volume down sand power at the same time, the device will recognize the update and ask to proceed, volume up for yes. The device will then update and reboot.once fully rebooted REMOVE the pg58img file from the device or it will continue to update ! You now successfully updated the firmware! It will be successfully updated. Hope this helps you.

if you are checking the version thru Softwarw Information in Settings, the version is hard coded in the build prop.

Known issue. Ignore it. As vernon mentioned, it is in the /system/build.prop file if you really want to edit it to change the number.

What radio are you on now. If you have 11.76a you have 3.33, unless you flashed the radio separately in the past.
Are you trying to flash leedroid tweaks or something?
I'm using Insertcoin Evolution 2.2 now and am having a great time.

Hi, I have rooted s-off Hboot 1.27.1100 Sensation 3.6 ARHD 6.7.2 FW3.33 but i want to go back to ARHD 6.6.7 because i feel it was working better for me.
I want to also downgrade the firmware to 3.32 so i can flash the RAM+SD Hack Sense 3.6 3.32.zip because it made such a huge difference!
and this flash doesn't work on 3.33, it just makes the ph boot-loop.
I've tried manually editing that hack for 3.33 following these instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699591) with build.prop edit, uploading services.jar and then i got stuck at editing init.qcom.post_boot.sh
I just couldn't quite understand where to add the additional lines so i'm happy to just go back to what worked.
I haven't been able to find some clear instructions on downgrading this firmware but after searching it seemed all i needed was s-off and to just flash the 3.32 firmware.
So far i've superwiped, flashed 3.32 firmware and flashed ARHD 6.6.7 but once the ph is up and running, under settings/about ph, the firmware is still 3.33.
Any suggestions plz?

Hi,
I am not sure where you got your 3.32 firmware,but try using THIS ONE
Check the md5 checksum before flashing.
Make sure it completes.
It will say update complete.
I'm looking at reverting my Sensation from ARHD to a stock ROM just to check a few issues I'm having with a track recording app. Can I use this and still be able to flash back to the latest ARHD ROM after I have confirmed the app is faulty?

if you are S-OFF yes you can
flash first the appropriate fw for the stock rom and then flash the rom
for reverting back to ARHD ROM: just flash again the appropriate fw and then ARHD ROM
Check the md5 checksum before flashing
don't forget to rename the zip file as PG58IMG.zip

maybe you have been confused a little bit
by using a ruu.exe you are returning to the completely stock situation of your device.no need the PG58IMG.zip file
but you can flash the rooted stock ics rom after flashing the PG58IMG.zip
i hope you understood what i mean

Ok, so would another option be to use ruu to go back to complete stock (does this rewind hboot also and s-on?) and then start again or it doesn't work like that?

Hi,
That does not actually display the firmware.
Rather,it shows the the base of the ROM you are using.
Have you flashed the new ROM yet?
If you want to see the actual firmware version,use fastboot command:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main

[Q] help flashing to Bruces CM10

im already S-off and trying to flash to CM10. i was able to flash it but the phone keeps restarting and its unuseable. So i restored back to original for now.
before the flash i was on the original Android 2.3 Gingerbread. i read somewhere that you need to upgrade to 3.32 atleast.
can someone show me the steps to upgrade to CM10 from where my phone is currently?
