Hi,
Flashing the ROM takes no time.
It only wipes your mods and add-ons.
You would have to re-install these anyway,to be compatible with the new firmware.

Latest Firmware 3.33 is only for sense 3.6 based roms? Also is it possible to have the latest firmware with a Rom or a kernel update without doing the whole process with the zip file

No you want have to reflash your I'm running viper Ss 1.1.0 with the firmware 3.33 and there's a lot of us that's running viper Ss 1.1.0 with the firmware 3.33 and it works perfectly fine some swap radio's and such because they loss data speeds and there's a universal 3.33 also and yes some stick with 3.32

Can you restore to Gingerbread after updating to RUU 2.25 base??

Hey I wanted to test out the new ARDH 6.2.1 but since its still test release, I also want to be able to go back to my gingerbread back up just incase but I don't think I can with the updated firmware. Any suggestions?
You mean the 3.25 base? If so, then no you can't go back to Gingerbread.
Downgrade to 3.24 and you can use Gingerbread.

So i can update to 3.25 then downgrade to the 3.24 base or firmwire?? Then go to Gingerbread?
No not 3.24. If you want GB again either restore a stock GB RUU or revert to the 3.12 firmware that ,works with some ICS Roms and is compatible with Gingerbread

Just the same steps as to install 3.25
1) Just copy the 3.12 ruu to zip (erase or rename the 3.25 zip if you have it on your sd-card)
2) boot up bootloader and follow the instructions
Remember to check CID, MID and MD5.
Hope I helped
Very easy thanks

If you are trying to install an ICS ROM, you need to update your firmware also, or you won't get past the beats screen.
i had the same problem and the above post is correct u must flash new firware before installing the rom otherwise it will hang on logo.
download latest firmware flash that first then install rom , i would also maybe use s wipe also after installing the firmware to give a nice fresh rom install.
I know I need to update my firmware first, but if I do that, I'm in a bootloop. That's even worse.
So, I've just installed this RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408961 with android 4.0.3 and HTC Sense 3.6. Where can I see my firmware now?
Settings then scroll to about phone its the very bottom option its in there software version and also hardware choose either one to see all info about phone.

Hi!
I came from ARHD 4.1.10. I installed the new firmware, you can pull the battery out after installation finishes or even when it boot loops. Then remove sd card, use a card reader to manually remove the img file. Put it back, Then boot to recovery, superwipe, flash new rom
Be careful using an old ARHD version, make sure to update your 4ext touch recovery to latest version afterwards

Thank you really much! So, I have firmware version 3.25 now, and for the roms I need 3.24. Can I install a rom with version 3.25?
Thanks!

[Q]: How to revert back to GB stock rom from ICS?

Hi guys,
I am having problem to revert back to stock rom after installing Leedroid ICS.
To install leedroid, i need to flash a firmware.
I,ve done nandroid backup for my stock rom and wanted to restore it back,as I am having some issues with leedroid rom.
However,I experience bootloop after restoring.
Do I need to flash other firmware? if yes, which one? Are firmware and kernel the same thing?
Tq

Always flash the firmware matching the rom btw stock = ruu just downlaod what u want and u will be allright
Does rom normally includes firmware, or do i need to download the firmware separately? Btw, is firmware=kernel?

No Firmware != Kernel
Custom ROM will have a kernel included, can change it. It does not have the F/W or Radio unless it's a full RUU.
Standalone F/W installs might or might not include a radio, the latest ones include radios, if you revert back to 1.17 you'll need to also flash a radio.

6.7.0 problems

I installed the android revolution hd sensation 6.7.0 rom to my sensation and i'm using the faux kernal, but now my sensation turns off by itself out of no where. it happens every so often. i didn't update the firmware or the radio because the link for the Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU is dead. Do i have to update the firmware to get my htc sensation working right for the 6.7.0 rom i read that it was necessary but it was no where for me to install it. What should i do ?
Android Verison 4.0.3
HTC Sense Verison 3.6
kernel = 3.0.35-MSM8660-Sense-Faux123-v008+/
I suggest re-reading the ARHD OP and ask the question in the ARHD thread.
You're more likely to get an accurate answer. READ the OP properly first.

Yes, you definitely need 3.33 Firmware for ARHD 6.7.0 to work properly. Also the faux kernel included with 6.7.0 is designed for 3.33.
A user friendly firmware can be obtained from here
