Under the 10-post limit so I need to post here.
I have a HTC Sensation Z710E, I believe it originally came from Asia. I am using the phone in the U.S. with T-Mobile.
Regarding the ARHD ROM, I always noticed,
"HTC Sensation 4G (U.S. T-Mobile PG5810000 | T-MOB010) users can flash this for better signal and data speeds!"
Should I be using the T-Mobile ROM and should I flash this file? I'm confused whether this refers to:
1. The HTC Sensation 4G phone sold through T-mobile and users of T-Mobile in the U.S.
2. Any HTC Sensation phone and users of T-Mobile in the U.S.
I've traditionally used the standard ROM without any issues. Just wondering if I can get even better performance. That aside, are there any differences between the two phones besides firmware?

Hi,
ARHD 1.2x is for TMOUS users in the US using the TMOBILE network.
So,yes,you should be OK using it.
Make a nandroid just in case .
I have a TMOUS Sensation. I am currently running 1.2.2 with 3.33x and faux.
I have been enjoying the rom. The phone seems very stable and battery is lasting nicely.
my questions are-
As long as I run the PG58IMG file for better signal/data, can I run any of the 3 listed ROMs on my Sensation? Does the Tmobile version just preserve the original Tmobile feel (icons etc) or do the not Tmobile ones cause issues? Are there any advantages (other than beats or no beats) to the different ROMs?
Thanks!
Don

I see at least 1 rom recommends upgrading to a specific radio. Is there an upgraded radio that we can use that will provide any performance increase what so ever?
TMobile USA branded Sensation 4g phones specifically.

Hello every one, I am thinking of getting a Sensation so decided to ask you about 2 issues ;
1) I keep seeing S-Off and for the hell of me I know not what this is.
2) While attempting a purchase on Amazon for phone and accessories, I always see Sensation and Sensation 4g. I can guess that the 4G has the 4g network capabilities which I will not need (in Egypt we do not have it yet) but for accessories will it really matter or is it the same when it comes to accessories and only the protocol differs.
Thanks a lot for the replies.
Accessories are the same.
S-off is r/w access to the nand on which system recovery and boot are stored.
Thanks. So no I can purchase accessories without needing to worry. As for the S-Off I still do not comprehend. What is it again?? Is it the ability to read and write to the nand from the recovery partition. did I understand correctly.
There is no difference between Sensation and Sensation 4G other than branding. Both have the same HSPA+ speeds, T-mobile is just branding it as "4G". Sensation 4G is for USA, and Sensation is for the other parts of the world (S4G is locked)
Swyped from my HTC Sensation
Pretty much. If s-off means nothing to you in terms of rooting your phone enjoy your purchase.

S-off means you can put modified software (ROMs) on your device and generally make it better. You have two methods to get S-OFF: xda way (revolutionary.io) or official HTC way. The xda way is better

in layman's terms, it's "rooting"your phone (ability to replace any and all files on your phone). Being able to do that will allow you the ability to change any visual aspect you can think possible on your phone, just about any kind of performance, over clocking your cpu, undervolting your phone, enabling faster charging times, extreme power saving abilities, even the ability top change the entire operating system to something completely different... Along with loads more you can do that were never possible "stock". Removing these chains can come at a risk if you don't know what you're doing so make sure you research before unlocking your phones full potential.
Thanks every one for your explanation. Highly appreciated. I will get it for sure then. Cya soon on sensation sub forums.
Get the sensation without the t-mobile branding on it. You can flash tmobile rom if you like after s-off and it would be the same as the tmobile version sensation 4G, unless you like the tmobile branding stamped on your phone
don't forget the different bands!

Hi skygear,
You and the user idavid actually posted contradicting claims You say the UMTS bands are _different_, idavid says they are the _same_ (several posts above yours). Can anyone actually verify what is actually the case?
Here's my phone - it's a T-Mobile Sensation 4G, and the website I bought it from originally claimed the UMTS bands were 900, 1700, 2100. When I got the box from them, the bands stated on the box were 1700, 2100, 1900 (in that order). I checked the website (newayci.com) again today and they corrected the specs to match those on the box, but in the carrier chart they claim my Sensation 4G won't work on Bell at all and only as 2G on Rogers - which does not make sense as Bell and Rogers use the same UMTS 1900 band.
So you see there's quite a lot of confusion, and it would be great if we could collectively clarify that. Is there any way to check it (except for getting a Rogers or Bell SIM with a 3G plan and putting that one in?)?
I am using the phone on Wind Mobile in Toronto, and it works fine, but I wasn't able to figure out so far if it will work as 3G on Rogers or Bell, who use UMTS 1900 band.
I posted the same question in another thread too, I'll report what I get from there (if anything).
Thanks in advance for help.

I am using the one you are on now and it has worked best for me. 10_58 gave me terrible data speeds. 10_56 gave me terrible battery drain. Im on tmous.
I always use the latest one and try it. If it works good, then I keep it
So I've been searching for the past couple days, but I'm coming up with a lot of conflicting info, and some stuff I just can't find. I've got a TMOUS Sensation 4G, S-off, running the latest InsertCoin 4.03 ROM, and I'm just not getting the same signal quality I got with my Mytouch 4G. Used to get at least 1, maybe 2 bars of HSPA at my house, but all the Sensation seems to pick up is EDGE. Can someone recommend me a radio, and a corresponding RIL? It'd be great if you can link me to it too, as I see some radios mentioned here and there that aren't linked in the radio thread. If it helps, I live in Eastern Massachusetts. Thanks much.
same situation
Hi,
I live in Boston MA.
Before I installed custom ROM, I had 4G speed with T-Mobile.
Now after installing customer ROM, I am only able to get on EDGE.
Radio: 11.21.3504.13_2
RIL: htc-ril 4.0.0012HMQ
I installed custom ROM: SensationBlitz and did not back up my old ROM so can't go back.
Anyone have success with 4G speed in Boston on HTC Sensation with T-Mobile, if so what radio / RIL?
THANKS!
No response yet, but I was able to return to stock ROM and get very good 4G speed in Boston..
I will post once I find out my radio and ril

Hello all, I purchased an HTC Inspire 4G from Amazon and when I received it the first thing I did was check the model name. All was good, displayed "HTC Inspire 4G". After this though I noticed that the internal memory was 1.1 GB which seems to be the amount for the Desire HD (Inspire is 4GB). I then also noticed that when I took pictures, in the image info it displayed HTC Desire HD. When I use my phone with applications such as AirDroid, it displays "HTC Desire HD" as well.
What the heck do I have? Lol. I assume the seller sold me a Desire HD, but it has the AT&T logo on the back and came in an AT&T box that labelled it as the Inspire 4G.
I am in Canada on a different network than AT&T so I can't use the software update or anything.

if it says AT&T, then is the inspire 4G. 1.1 gb of memory is what it has available for the user..4 gb is the total mem. If you are running a custom rom, then it is possible to have the DHD label, but do not trust that. Check in menu>settings>about phone and see what it says...
Again, if you are running a custom rom, then what it says might not be accurate. AT&T does not sell DHD...

I have it rooted, but thats it. In the "About Phone" section it is listed as Inspire 4G. No custom ROM however, yet I will find the "DHD" label in random places. If I install a stock DHD 2.3.5/3.0 rom on the phone and it is actually an Inspire 4G will it muck **** up?
e. Just found info regarding my question, will see if audio, etc. works after stock DHD rom install. If not, will install the inspiremod fix!
Well I installed the inspiremod and now nothing audio or mic related works. Guess I do have the Desire HD. Sold me the wrong device. However I think it's common practice on Amazon.
Does the phone say HTC or ATT on the middle of the back? If it says ATT then it is an ATT Inspire 4G. If it says HTC then it is either a european model or a Canadian model. All Desire HD/ Inspire 4G have the exact same amount of memory.
If you are rooting and installing custom ROMs then it makes no difference if you have a Telus Desire HD or an ATT Inspire 4G. They are EXACTLY the same except for the logo on the back. The Inspire 4G will get 3G/H+ if available for Telus, Rogers, or Bell Mobile.

Inspire mod is for cm7 that's why it didn't work. You have the right phone

Doesn't the DHD have a front camera?
No. That round circular object that looks like a grants facing camera is the proximity sensor.
There is a major software difference between the two models. The inspire 4G has different sound files so if you flashed a DesireHD ROM without the sound files, there will be zero sound emitting out the phone. Almost all DesireHD Roms has the soundfix files built in and will check whether your phone needs them so it isn't something to worry about.
