[Q] Sensation XE back to stock? Frimware question

Hi all
I'm about to sell my Sensation XE.
I used to run InsertCoin 4.5 with the 3.24 firmware.
My question is simple: can I go back to a shipped Pyramid stock rom without downgrading the firmware or is it more...complex?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have not done this myself,but someone HERE ,in post # 3604,seems to have done what you are asking.

[Q] Why am I able to install OrDroid rom only?

Hi every one, I have recently purchased an HTC Sensation XE. I have read and done all the tips several times regarding S-off, Super CID, Rooting. I have S-off and rooted the device. My CID 111111. I don't know why somehow I can only install OrDroid 1.6.1, and upgrade to OrDroid 1.6.2 only and no other ROMs. Could anyone possibly help me to see where I am going wrong? Thank you in advance.

Make sure ur firmware is 3.32 ...
And some phones get.bootlop.bcoz. of the oc kernel make sure u get the one without oc
Than try insertcoin beta 12 works great since u using sense 4.0

What firmware is in your bootloader? When you are flashing a rom and it requires a specific Firmware you will need to update that firmware to that roms requirements. First time Flashing also requires a full wipe. . There is a firmware thread in sensation development and how to's. Example.. If i want sense 3.6 rom or new 4.0 rom I would flash firmware 3.32. If your not sure how firmware flashes read up on it. It can cause bootloops if your not flashing the proper zips. Welcome to the world of SENSATION..

Hey pop did ya delete the firmware file you flashed right after you updated it into bootloader? Usually that PG58IMG which would be your firmware file zip should be deleted off your SDcard right after you bootloaded it. And also let me remind ya that even its a lower firmware like 3.24 or less it will have that same PG58IMG file name saved on your wherever downloaded too. So make sure your installing that correct PG58IMG firmware. Other than that ..try a step down from 3.32 and see if that works with the ARHD Rom.

Try the 3.30 firmware. If not just double check to see if you downloaded the right firmware 3.32. Like for me I'm a T-Mobile user so I had to download the T-Mobile version firmware.. hope that helps..

question

ok, i am a experienced android flasher. i have been using cdma devices and my friend has a t-mobile sensation. he is jealous of my ics roms i have been running this weekend. on my cdma i just flash the rom after wiping. firmware updates are optional and they are generally one for all types. i keep seeing super cid and mid stuff having to do with firmware in the sensation dev section, and from what i have read u need special firmware to run the ics roms on his phone. but u have to choose the right firmware according to your mid or cid whatever that is. so if he is using a gsm t-mobile(usa) sensation what firmware do i need to get him?
he is s-off with clockwork recovery and we have flashed roms before i am just confused on the firmware requirements for these gsm phones.
i am the one who rooted his phone as well. i just don't want to f up his phone
thanks

btw i asked him for his current firmware version and he told me 4.0.1. he is going to come over tomorrow and we are going to try and get him on ics so any help is much appreciated

No 4.0.1 is the version of the Android OS he has on his device, it is not the firmware. If he has that as his OS version then he should have the 3.32 firmware as you have to have the 3.32 firmware for any 4.0.? ROM to boot.
CID stands for Carrier Identification, this is specific to each carrier. If the CID of the ROM does not match your device's CID, it will not flash to your device. If you Super CID your device, you can flash any stock ROM you want too. But CID is usually only relevant to stock ROM, although if the ROM is based on a stock ROM you might have to have Super CID to flash it. Cid does not apply to ASOP or AOKP ROMs.

Pm coming your way

Never heard of a 4.0.1 firmware
His cid should be supercid with 11111111
And his firmware should be 3.32, good luck.

I think he is on a sense 3.5 rom so the 4.0 must be his rom.thanks for the responses and pm. Starting to understand. Going to shoot for super cid if he comes over today

[Q] Guide to DOWNGRADING from Android 4.0.3 to 2.3.4 for Sensation

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!

Well it is very simple Imo... You need to get a gingerbread ruu and run it in windows nothing else... That should be enough

Thank you, but unfortunately it is not simple for me. I got the gingerbread RUU, but what do I need to do on the computer, cell phone part?
Thanks again!

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

Did you check in the ruu thread from development section?
I think exists the one for 3.33.707.xx but I am not sure
Also you can use the flashable stock Rom too for S-OFF
