Firmware - HTC Sensation

Hey.... how do i find out what firmware i am running? Phone came with gb, then ota to ics...... i ran virtually all major roms from the dev thread witout any issues and now running cm10 jellybean...
Is there a way of seeing the fw version?thx
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app

I'm pretty sure there is no way to check fw version but to get a guesstimate when did you update to ics? If you updated within the past month or two most likely 3.33 if awhile ago them most likely 3.32 either one should be fine for most roms.

There is a way to check the firmware
From fastboot/bootloader
Type this command
fastboot getvar version-main
This would give your firmware

thx ganesh...i recall you helping me out with installing my custom recovery and rooting on IRC.. you really know your stuff.
So i'm running 3.32.401.5.. I would like to get 3.33 but when i dropped the PG58 file on the root of the sdcard it started to load, said parsing then nothing happened. Anyone know why?
thx.

is the name proper? if its proper and didnt worked then we should go the other way
copy the PG58IMG.zip to the adb folder
then connect the phone from fastboot/bootloader and these commands one by one
fastboot erase cache (if failed ignore it)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (black screen with silver HTC)
fastboot flash zip PG58IMG.zip (make sure the names are matching and ...ignore the green progress bar ..it wont complete)
fastboot reboot (rebooting as you are updated now )

Does anyone have the update file that works with the 4g no matter how much I change it it says can't open pg58img.zip

[SOLVED] [Q] Just did S-ON, can't boot, "Security Warning"

So, I did the S-On procedure. Everything seemed to go fine but it will only go to the fastboot screen and it says "Security Warning" up at the top. Ideas?
Just go into fastboot, download the RUU you need and flash the stock rom. After that enable usb debuggin in the settings and connect to your pc. After that follow the guide you used to do before.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
I can run the RUU with S-On?
Yeah sure if you use the one that matches with your CID.
Btw I flashed my device with the RUU too with S-On
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA Premium App
I will give it a try. I never messed with my CID so any Tmous RUU should work, correct? Thanks for your help!
Yes, but I would use the latest one.
Write back when done

Looks like downloading is going to take a while. I'll post back when it's been attempted.
Worked like a charm, it seems. I had used an older RUU before going back to S-On.
Thanks again. I'm now 2 for 2 in asking questions without being flamed and, instead, receiving mega helpful answers!

Q how do you flash a hboot from a ruu zip file??

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
You would first have to extract the rom from the ruu file and then extract the hboot from that. Idk if it is in a flashable form tho...

Got to ask, why would you want to ?
Because I am trying to send the phone back to HTC. When I rooted the phone is used the revolutionary method. Now after installing the stock Ruu and thanks using the phone back to s-on it says locked in bright pink letters. After reading the forums it says i have to flash the stock hboot from the stock RUu
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
wouldn't just running your stock ruu flash everything back to how it was? hboot and all
I have tried that it did until I updated the ota then now it says locked in the pink lettering and the hboot is 1.7.000

Hi,
Please follow THIS THREAD
Take the Rom.zip file that you have flashed and you will need to go to your pc or laptop and unzip it and then it will create a folder and then you will open that folder and scroll down and you will see a folder that will say kernel open it and you will see a file called boot.img you will copy it to the same folder that you have your adb and fastboot drivers in and then open up your cmd and type your commands to get your fastboot driver's working and then typ fastboot flash boot boot.IMG press enter and then type fastboot reboot and watch the magic

And to flash those rom's you have listed you will need to flash the correct firmware and you need to have s off first before you can flash ics rom's

You want to have s-OFF not on.

can you please follow the extra 1 step ..from the link given by malybru(2nd or 3rd post i think) ..atleast you will come out of bootloop after that ..then you can try SOFF or whatever
I turned s off and I flashed ordroid v9 and it was stuck on the white HTC screen. It turned black for like three seconds then returned to the HTC boot screen.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Did you follow the thread that malybru linked to? I am on hboot 1.27 and s-on and I can flash every ICS rom out there that supports firmware 3.32-3.34, which is by far the most, if not all.
And thank you malybru for pointing me in the right direction.

what do you mean you turned s off? Did you follow the procedure to s off the device because s off is not a button you can turn off. It is a procedure to disable security. Once your s off you can flash without trouble. Please read the link provided to the procedure. If you are s off you should not have these issues.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Yes I followed the procedure and now I have s off. When I flashed ordroid it didn't even reach the beats audio boot screen as I said before it shows the.white HTC logo screen, turns black, then goes back to the HTC screen.

Did you use the correct 3.32 firmware? If
Not thats the issue. All ics roms must have 3.32 firmware.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
1. RUU back to latest stable, that way you have all of the proper bootloaders and radios.
2. Follow numerous guides in dev section about S-Off and flashing the correct firmware.
3. Flash recovery.
4. Flash rom of your choice.
Should get it all taken care of for you. Good luck! :cyclops:
Finally I got it to work on ordroid so I can tell the changes (volume,settings, etc) but when I go home it says loading then says 'unfortunately, HTC has stopped"
Then I return to my previous launcher. THIS ISN'T OVER

You could just follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
Then you'd have full S-OFF, then any ROM you like )
Here are some RUUs you could try, including 3.33. Depends if your CID is "HTC__001" or SuperCID I guess.

Enable smart flash (4EXT - tools) just before flashing the ROM.. That will mostly do..
If you have wifi issues/not booting.. Then do the extra1 step from asskickers Flashing roms with SON guide.
If the wifi still persists after that too.. Then re flash the rom again.. Without any wipe this time.. But need to enable smart flash this time too before flashing the rom..

All the custom ROMs OP will detail the pre-requisites r.e. firmware. Make sure you read them.
I would still advise you go get full S-OFF if you can, I've recently done it on 1.27.0000 and the paper clip hack was a little bit of a pain to get the timing right but it did work. It makes life much simpler. You could then, for example, downgrade if required
NOTE: currently HBOOT 1.29.0000 cannot be S-OFF'd so do it while you can.

Fair enough, if I'm wrong I'm sorry. I had read somewhere that 1.29.0000 had issues being S-OFF'd and 1.27.0000 was the most recent one that could. Guess the information I based my statement on was wrong.

[RADIO] flashing radio?

I've got Sensation (Z710e) form my friend, that's need tuning. So far i managed:
Unlock bootloader @ htcdev
CWM recovery
S-OFF with ControlBear (HBOOT 1.27.0000)
Now some ROMs require some patching before (HOX doesn't have this) and this is strange to me.
About phone says:
Android version : 4.0.3
HTC Sense : 3.6
SW Number: 3.32.401.3
(Advanced)
Baseband version: 11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M
What is the catch? May i do damage to phone (i ****ed up i900 omnia with this radio ****, and i still have some phobia )? How to flash firmware (is it the same)?
Here you go. Tells you how to do it. I would suggest supercid also, if you aren't already.

I forgot to write. Already did that. As final step, downloaded 3.33 (universal) booted, instaled, but on my phone info again says 3.32. Which is weird. Do a i need this 3.32 if i want DarkForest rom (which required 3.33)?
if you're able to use fastboot commands -
fastboot getvar version-main
that will tell you what firmware is on your phone

You can flash 4ext over cwm through fastboot commands. Your download might be bad also.
