Yes, eventually to Sense 3.5 (2.3.5) and then awhile down to the road to ICS (hasn't been confirmed, but I'm pretty sure).

Well I tried the Sense-o-Maniac 2.3.5 sense 3.5 rom and I didn't really like it I guess cause I didn't notice anything different. Other than some bloat removed and beats audio which I loved! But I watched my phone go from 100% to 95% in 10 minutes of just listening to music....Dont Know why though....I would like to know what are the best roms that any of you can advise me to try that is good on battery life and get quite a differnet kick out of it if that makes sense

I haven't tried a Sense ROM if you're looking for that. CM7 is pretty different from any sort of Sense ROM but people have some mixed reviews on the battery life. It's been ok to pretty good for me, but I have an extended battery and I underclock/undervolt and use a custom kernel.

You could try Leedroid 4.0. Works great MIUI is awesome too. I personally use kernels from Faux but you could use stock kernels or kernels from Bricked too.

Ok problem I followed the steps to turn s back on and now its stuck at the boot loader screen i tried the following pull out battery and re-insert due to the security warning and then tried to re-run ruu.exe well everything went fine except one small thing signature error 132....so now my phone is stuck in the damn bootloader screen where i can pick boot loader reboot etc.....what do i do? Please ANY HELP?

Extract the ROM.zip from ruu rename PG58IMG.zip, put on root of sd card, boot to hboot and, when prompted, yes to flash.

Thank you alot. I downloaded a newer ruu and it worked. I am now s-on and factory 2.3.4 is there any way to flash sensation xl factory Rom without root? Just by using ruu?

as far as i got it is your phone a 4g and u want to flash xl ruu ? at least u need supercid for that and dont nail me on that answer but i think u need root for supercid

Help! Wrong radio

Alright, so I've had an htc sensation running on leedroid 3.10 for quite some time now. Recently it started to restart randomly, so I decided to upgrade my rom. So then I attempted to install insertcoin ICS, but I needed a new radio. So I chose one figuring it would work and now my device doesn't connect to internet or even my data. Whenever I try to install a different radio now to attampt fixing it, it says I have the wrong CID! I NEED my phone to work soon because i have a lot of important things to do that involve it!! Thanks for all help and please respond soon! FYI it says my radio is 10.11.9007.06_M2. Should I maybe reflash the hboot?
EDIT: And in case you're wondering, I've been searching for the solution for hours. I've never been more afraid of anything not working than this phone, and I can't afford a new phone, so please help!

BUMP! Please help I can't sleep because of this

Flash back to stock, do a little research and find the radio version that came with your phone. Flash it.
A lot of times, I've found, the problem with these new unofficial ports of ICS is that the radio doesn't work on them. So go back to stock radio and find a stable ROM to work with.

Thanks! My only problem is, how do I know which radio came stock? Do all sensations come stock with the same radio?

Which version of the sensation do you have? XL? XE?

Thank you, but the same problem persists. I'm not sure what could even be the cause of this problem though. My exact step are to boot by holding vol down and power (im not sure what its called), and then it automatically attempts to install it, but then I get that error message. Afterward I attempted to install it by going to recovery and opening it as a zip file, and that failed just the same.

also is there anyway to install the radio while installing the stock firmware? Why can't you back up the radio anyway? And hwile I'm at it, what does CID even have to do with radio that it would cause these problems? Will location matter? I'm in NJ US.

As far I know you can't dual flash the radio and OS. Also, I think you'll be ok in NJ with a stock radio. Just as fine as you were before all this.

Help to get S-on and stock rom

Hi guys .. I need some help getting S-on back then flash a stock Rom to return the device to tmo. I currently have s-off and running ARHD 6.4 but I need to return it for an exchange. From what Ive read you need superCID and pick a stock Rom to flash over it. Though, I never change my CID do I still need to change that for a stock Rom? Also there are 3 diff RUU on the list for tmous anyone knows which on is the correct version?
I jz s-off and installed arhd for less then a week but I accidentally dropped the phone from the second floor and it hit the hardwood floor. Surprisingly with the seidio case its survived without a scratch or dent (it hit at the bottom right corner). Case and battery cover came loose a bit but it just needed a push and it snapped back on (tapatalk app was still running ;-) .. though later on I found out that wifi doesn't turn on anymore. It keeps staying at "turning on wifi" but it doesn't come on. Every minute or so it flashes to on and quickly turns off and the phone keeps getting hotter and hotter. I wiped and reinstalled but it doesn't help. Then I swapped the cover from my wife's sensation but same story. I was wondering if something like this happened to anyone else and if you know a way to fix that (something from the battery cover?? Or back of phone that could cause the problem). I appreciate all help and suggestions guys!!!!

Somewhere buried is the cid thread. Use the search to find it and see what's the cid of tmob. Change it to that. Then go to the ruu thread and flash the latest tmob ruu. S on. Voila! You are ready

in one of the guide it said to connect in charging mode and flash .. and i kept getting error ..

[Q] HTC Sensation rebooting after root

Hi all, I am sorry if this is already posted or answered but I spent all day yesterday searching and reading and cannot find the answer.
I have 2 Htc sensations that I messed up some how and would be very grateful if you could help me with them.
Phone 1 has been rooted for a long time and in preparation for ICS I flashed T-mobil: Download 3.32 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
and now the phone works but it will randomly reboot. I have wiped the cache, delvak cache and battery stats.
I am completely lost please help.
Phone 2 I think I may have messed up real bad here is what I did to it.
I rotted it from here

I got to step 2 sub step 6 and now it continuously reboots it starts with the white screen with HTC on it then goes to another white screen that says HTC Quietly brilliant for a second and repeats.
Please help me yes I am a noob and grateful for any help.

Wow that was a fun ride (not really) it appears I did not flash the PG58IMG file correctly, after I flashed it correctly I got Insert Coin installed and so far it seems that they both are working. only time will tell.
Thanks anyway guys.

If you are trying to install the latest firmware and having the HTC log restart problem. Try to super wipe on the recovery and install first the 3.12 firmware.

Both phones are working fine but I have a new question, I can not get the voice dialer to work ie I long press the button on my plantronics bt and say call tom.
I have tried vlingo from the market and this fix

Did I just brick my phone?
I tried to flash the 1.17 firmware and the last step failed, now it wont boot at all just a black screen the only thing it will do is the charge lite will come on bit it stays on after I unplug it.

which of the 2 phones you are talking about?
In a previous post you said that problem was solved, now what?
Also, it would be better to know what your bootloader says and what you were attempting to do before black screen.

Sounds like a brick to me, but since the problem is unclear, it's possible to fix. I wish I could help but I don't understand your issue to be honest!

I had 3.32 on it with Insert Coin ICS and thought I have 2 so might as well restore one to factory setting that's when I tried to flash the 1.17 and it never started again.
T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G
The other one is working so I am not messing with it.

I had the same thing happen to me and it was over for the phone. Took it in to tomo and told them it died and after I charged it and went to turn it on, bam, went black and never came back. They never got it to work either and replaced it for me

You mean 1.17 is the hboot?
In this case you installed a hboot for GB while on ICS rom. Obviously it won't work.
If you want to downgrade to GB you can try to run a GB RUU while in bootloader - fastboot usb (if you can still reach it)

He was in the process of going back to gb and that's 1 of the steps. U have to flash a gb firmware to go back to it from ics. I've done it countless times with no issues.

Oh yes I have made many times too buf, if he changed firmware without changing rom obviously get stuck, and this seems happening to him.

No what's happened to him is what happened to me. It's like it gets fried or something. The screen goes black and u can't turn it on or get into bootloader. Tmobile told me when it happened it was dead and got me a new 1

Sensation WiFi and Bluetooth issue

Alright here's the issue...
Ok so my brother had my rooted HTC SENSATION S-ON with CM9, and he was longboarding and txting (bad combination...). As it results, obviously, he fell and desintegrated the screen, but the phone was fully functional before. Couple of months after the incident, before fixing it, i took it out of the drawer i had it put away and turned it on, and earlier that day i had found a very stable cm10.1 rom for it so i went ahead and installed it because wifi and bluetooth was functional on it. After i do so, i try to turn my wifi on in the innitial Google log on and on the screen it said "Turning WiFi on." and i waited about half an hour and nothing, so i skipped it. When i went into the settings app i tried turning bluetooth on and the switch went back to off instantly. And i went online and did research and saw a guy that just pulled the bluetooth and wifi connectors for the antenna up so they would actually work, and i tried it, but no luck... I also tried flashing the boot.img for the current rom, but also didnt work. So i thought it might have been the rom since it wasnt fully stable yet, so i did a full wipe and re-flashed the currnet rom and re-flashed the boot.img but no luck. So i downloaded a stable release of cm9 and did full wipe and installed the boot.img for that version of cm9, but yet again no luck... So i re-installed the cm10.1 Albinoman build and lived on 4G so far... i need help on re-enabling bluetooth and wifi....plz help im desperate
P.S. I think this might have to do with the incident of the screen, but i dont think its hardware related...anyways im going to have the screen replaced this monday, so wish me luck

Try formatting all the partitions except for SD card and then reflash the ROM.

Yea i got 4EXT and i always use smartflash when flashing anything at all

Hmmm... what is your radio version and hboot version number? Try to obtain s-off, and then flash firmware 3.33(i think it has a different radio that might fix your problem)
Also, make sure that you s-off before flashing 3.33 from bootloader.

I cant read the version due to the dead chunks on the screen but i should have it fixed in a couple of days. I preffer not trying to s-off since i find that too complicated, but in case i had to do so, would i have to do a full wipe?

No, a full wipe is not required for s-off.
You can go to "about phone" in the settings to find out about your radio version. It should be the baseband numbers/letters.
Also, which kernel do you have? Flashing another kernel might solve the problem.

Well, did you get s-off on your phone? I think the only way is to fix your radio (flash 3.33) but you need s-off for that... Other than that, I have no idea.
BTW, did you try stock ICS before? If yes, how did it go?

hi, didn't see anywhere that you mention your android version, if it is 4.2.X, don't try to turn the WiFi on, rather go to advanced WiFi settings and select a region code in there, whatever you liked. but in case it is 4.1.X then Install WiFix Manager while WiFi is off, and reboot your phone.
good luck. :good:
