about to get this phone. Roms?

ill be rooting this, how do i get ics? do i have to flash a ruu then flash roms? or if i want, i just flash sensation xe roms and im good to go? please help

Right now there are a couple of ICS roms.
Personally I'm using ARHD's ICS rom & it works perfectly with a good battery life.
Follow the steps here till after writing SuperCID.
For ICS ROM, you would need to flash firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU from here.
For support for newer ICS rom's like ARHD's. All 4.0.3 ICS Roms runs on 3.12.401.2/102
& It's been said that this firmware runs good with Gingerbread too.
-Warning Only Flash after Rooting-
Heres the one I'm using. ARHD
The guide to do this can be found at ARHD's post itself under the "How to Flash" Section.
Hopes this helps!

can you tell me the steps to flash the ruu?
i download the file, and i put it in root of sdcard and i go to bootloader or fastboot and flash?
do i have to check anything before doing this? thanks. and will it brick my phone?

you MUST do Super CID. Set it to 11111111.
MAKE SURE IT IS 11111111 BEFORE FLASHING.
If not it might cause issues like bricking.

If you wait some days more ( like a month or less), HTC will announce the official update

any help for roms?

Hello, due to a loooong story, I have hboot 1.23 and well as some of you may know its terrible, I now cannot flash any files at all via hboot and my firmware is 3.12 but the problem is I love ics and so, can anybody please find me any roms that have ics and run on firmware 3.12 not 3.24 or anything else. It will probably be android version 4.01 or could be 4.03 but it would have stated firmware 3.2. I don't mind even if the roms are outdated versions of the newest version of roms, such as arhd 6.0.0 instead of what is being used now.
Thanks.

Do you have s off? If you do just flash the firmware that has the 1.27 unlocked h boot 1.27 and flash the ICS Rom you want.

no i dont have s-off.I tried to get to stock and wrote s-on incorrectly (apparently).
Now i can't really do anything until revolutionary updates, i have to stay with the ooooold roms.

COREDROID 4.0 works on 1.23, the problem is you can't flash radios which isn't in this ICS ROM. So you're s on. I am assuming you used HTC unlock. I assume you have root and custom recovery. What did you do exactly.

I used to run Virtuous Inquisition on HBOOT 1.23, in fact I've only recently changed to 1.27.

How did you change to 1.27? I thought hboot 1.23 did not have firmware flashing or any advanced fastboot commands...

Well yes. I had to use HTCdev because I wrote s on wrong and my bootloafer was locked so I ran htcdev, flashed recovery and now I'm s-on without being able to change ny hboot or anything at all now.

If you have s off you can flash any firmware with 1.23. Why do you refuse to understand that 1.23 s on is your problem, yes you are in fact stuck there. No matter how many threads you ask the same thing in, sorry but it's the truth.

Unrooting sensation india

Hboot 1.18.0000
Rom 1.52.720.3
S ON
Cid HTC 038
I want to flash ics based arhd like roms.After that can i unroot and claim warranty by flashing 1.45.720.1 ruu for india above ics without bricking.?
Sorry for being like noob becoz am new to htc

Nobody have experience in flashing stock gb over custom ics.?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk 2

to flash the ARHD you need the 3.32 fw which is the ics one and then if you want warranty back you just need to run a RUU from your pc...there are a lot of guides out there that teach how to unroot....

I tried to flash the Gingerbread RUU over ICS and it did not work for me, so I just flashed the 1.17.1100 hboot and use my backup of gingerbread that was rooted and then I ran the RUU and it worked for me.

Upgrade to firmware 3.33.xxx.xx ......there is a similar post like this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941
Its a wonderful sense based ROM....try this and see. If not, run the RUU all over again, download PG58IMG.zip....put it in SD card and then on the bootloader screen it will prompt for confirmation...yes...and apply it :good:

thanks...i will let you know when i am done....

Same issue
I had the same issue with my sensation. I reflashed everything. I Flashed arhd 6.7. With beats and it works quite well now only issue so far is mobile Internet Speed. I'm reading through all the forums because usually every issue has been addressed and solved somewhere on this website. This is one heck of a Site. I'm going to try to do my part the best I can

I got the same issue that indresh88 said in the first post.
And i've also tried the fix that Echo237 suggested.
So.. i'm now with fw 3.33 with stock ICS rom and i've also flashed the root and tried wifix manager from the market.
Nothing is working. WiFi won't turn on, just remain with the message "Activating Wi-Fi..."
Any idea about what i can do?

try going back to stock again by using flashing a different ruu I have 3.32 and its with sense 3.6 it my work for you at this point its worth a try and keep it on stock for a while and monitor the WiFi but before you flash the ruu make sue you relock your device and then fastboot OEM writesecureflag 3

what the oem writesecureflag 3 does? and as ruu you mean the .exe that i download from filefactory? if yes, i've already tried every f****n' ruu compatibile with my sensation both gb and ics.
This was a previous thread that i opened and worked till a couple of reboots, then stopped working. i've tried that procedure again but still not working

Man don't give up what is needed is the steps you went through before flashing the ruu and after I my self have downloaded 5 ruu's and I was only able to flash two out 5 but I figured out how to do it and I manage to flash the old ruu that comes stock with the hboot 1.17 and then I s off via alpharevolutionary installed 4ext custom recovery installed super su and then did a back up and then upgradeed my hboot to 1.27 and then up graded my firmware to 3.33 then flashed my new custom Rom done and set running smooth as silk and no reboot's or shut down's

That's what i've done. Go back to the first stock ruu then revolutionary, custom recovery, root, and so.
WiFi is still not working.
I thought about something like missing mac address.. i know that is saved in a directory with the imei number and is not accesible easily.how can i check if is all right with it?

Echo237,, did what u have said ....still no luck...man......same error.....wifi turning on......remember i have succeed to turn it on few days ago in smartdroid berskerk 2.3 version on custom kernel with soff on 3.32 fermware......but then after two days running with it...its go again wifi turning on....if it's turned on for few minutes...then phone restarts automaticly...please give me any other idea.....

The question is how did you s off with revolutionary was it through flashing the the ruu that contains the hboot 1.17 and then s off via alpha revolutionary or did you use another method

Okay this is not what you want to...keep this as a last option but, if nothing works out...go to the HTC customer care...I'm pretty sure Surat has !
I had gone to the customer care when I had this problem and didn't want to root then but I rooted eventually which solved the problem as they kept saying "kaale aavjo, today our server is down so couldn't download the firmware"....the guys won't ask for money. But just say that this happened only after ics don't circle around.

Do I need to upgrade my hboot?

I'm currently on rooted stock 2.3.5 (s-off) and would like to try some of the newer Jellybean roms. My hboot is 6.98.1002. Do I need a newer one such as 7.00.2002?
If so are there any specific issues with upgrading? I've looked and searched but doesn't seem to be much info on going from 6.98.1002 to 7.00.2002.
Thanks

It write protected from RUU. He can install any ROM that does not need separate lib partition. This means all existing except Official MIUI 4, the Stock one by Scanob and the test Desire XS RC1
