ive been a verizon customer for some time and i finally switched to t-mobile..and i chose as my phone the htc sensation had it for at least 3-4 days and im lovin it..
im lovin the roms that are out for this phone and ive been reading the how to's and noob threads,im not so much of a noob at flashing roms as i did flash lots of roms before but considering as im new to the htc sensation im alil confused on how to be flashing roms for this phone
i see lots and lots of firmwares and radios idk whats what.. i want to flash a sense 3.6 or sense 4.0 rom with ics i did try one but it got me to a bootloop.. i do have s-off and i am rooted.. i flashed this [ROM][Sense 4.0][MAR.25] OrDroid 1.7.2 | Fast & Stable .. it got to boot animation then bootloop
my question is what will i need to flash roms for this phone.. firmwares/radios ect.. yes i know s-off and root which i already have,im running completly stock just with s-off and root
any help i can get please will be much appreciated,thanks a whole lot.. and to all the devs that put there hard work into makin great roms for this phone,thanks

Ok heres the best aosp setup.
Virtuous inquisition 4.
For sense ics roms id go with mike1986 arhd 6.5.3 rom.
So what u need to do is root ur sensation
Supercid
Flash 4ext recovery. Its an apk and easy to do
Upgrade ur firmware to 3.32. Flash in bootloader.
Need mike1986 superwipe script
Rom of your choice.
Boot into recovery. Flash the superwipe. Then flash ur rom. Quick run down of what you need to do.
Skill required? Not much. The hardest part might be using adb and fastboot commands for the supercid. Other than that its easy as pie

thanks so much,so now the supercid i read up on it while requiring s-off and root thats alil confusing but ill read up on it again and the superwipe ive been seeing that on rom threads "flash superwipe" what is that and where would i get it?
and i need a big help,i tried upgrading my firmware to 3.32 and it said "wrong cid" "fail" now its stuck on the htc logo and bootloops help please :'(

Superwipe is down toward the bottom of OP of this thread. It leaves you with a very very clean phone. So no apps, no user data, no ROM. You'd want to have a nandroid backup at the very least before superwiping, as well as titanium backup for your apps etc. You just flash superwipe from recovery like a ROM (install .zip from sdcard).
Sounds like you've got hold of the wrong firmware for your CID. So you either need to know your CID (if you've got your head around adb and fastboot commands, "fastboot getvar cid" will get that for you) and find the right firmware, or supercid your phone so you can use any firmware. Go to this thread for firmware.

For your firmware there's a file,
android.txt, that has a list of CIDs. The T-Mobile CID usually isn't in it. If you do the superCID you shouldn't have to worry about it. Other wise you have to open the file located in the PGM581000 file and add CIDT-MO010 to the txt file. Either way make sure you delete the PGM file immediately after you flash it.

Go to the dev thread for ROMs, ARHD is my preference. Good directions and all the files you need linked right there. Well most ROM threads are that way but this ROM and firmware are smooth and flawless.

This is misleading and not really true. First of all, VI is not true AOSP but Sense with most of the obviously sense parts removed. Secondly OpenSensation CM9 is hands down the best true AOSP rom and now that it has bluetooth and 1080p camcorder there's virtually no reason to use a senseless sense rom like vi.

to everyone that has tried to help me on this, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! giving me all the infos and quick break downs..
now i do have my phone up and running again but heres what i did..
when i learned that you need to upgrade your firmware to flash ics roms
i went to here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 and i downloaded Firmware from 3.32.401.x & 3.32.401.10x RUU and renamed it to PG58IMG.zip i booted up to hboot and when it read the image file it said "wrong cid" "fail" i tried to boot up the phone normally after and it got stuck on the htc logo then bootlooped from there.. i did have a stock backup but flashing that over didnt work still had the same htc logo bootloop, i still had [ROM][Sense 4.0][MAR.25] OrDroid 1.7.2 | Fast & Stable saved to my sdcard so i tried to flash that to see what would happen and got the same result i then went to here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 and downloaded firmware 3.32 Unlocked and renamed it to PG58IMG.zip booted up into hboot it did its thing but this time it successfully flashed.. i booted the phone back up and the rom and phone successfully booted up completly. now im running on [ROM][Sense 4.0][MAR.25] OrDroid 1.7.2 | Fast & Stable as my rom and im just lovin it! but at this point im kinda scared to flash anything else as i do have it booted up i dont wanna mess anything up again lol

Good to hear you're up and running again just a question, at any point in that process did you check your CID? Which 3.32 firmware did you download from the second link?

in the second link i downloaded the t-mobile unlocked 3.32 firmware, i just checked the modelid: PG5813000 which matched mine so i went for it..
i have one more question though..the supercid can i do that while running on a custom ics rom or it doesnt matter? will it still work regardless?

CID is carrier identification. The thread you downloaded your T-Mobile firmware from contains firmwares for a variety of CIDs, in other words, specific to whichever carrier your phone came from. SuperCID removes that form of 'branding' and allows you to flash any firmware file, if you look through the list of firmware they can all be flashed to a device with CID 11111111. So essentially we superCID for convenience.
SuperCID has no bearing on what ROMs you can flash, the only consideration is that a particular ROM will require a certain firmware, eg. ICS ROMs need 3.12 base or higher.

Almost. SuperCID and custom recovery you can do no worries. Firmware upgrade will depend on what stock ROM is currently installed, if you flash firmware that your stock ROM isn't compatible with you will get bootloops and most likely have to downgrade. So personally I wouldn't be looking to upgrade firmware until you intend to flash a ROM that requires it. At that point you'll want a custom recovery anyway so it won't hurt to install that now.

Thanks. I'm currently on the T-Mobile Sensation 4G stock ROM S-Off/Rooted. Will going to the 3.32 firmware wipe the stock ROM or cause bootloops for sure?
I also have ClockWork Recovery from a really long time ago. Using ROM Manager to flash a new recovery (trying to update) does nothing. Why does that happen? Perhaps my recovery is too old?

I'm would assume your 4G would already be running ICS? In which case you probably already have up-to-date firmware installed. The firmware update generally applies for people coming from GB to ICS. Go to Settings/About Phone/Software Information/More/Build Number and see what numbers you have there.
Flashing firmware will not wipe your ROM, the worst that will happen is bootloops if the firmware and ROM aren't compatible.
The recovery you have now shouldn't stop you from flashing a new one, instead of using ROM Manager try downloading 4ext from the Play Store and see how that goes.

Hi guys im new with this device(HTC Sensation Z710e) so i have some doubts. This is what i have done:
*Unlock Bootloader with Revolutionary. I got S-OFF
*CWM Recovery Installed.
*Rooted device.
Now, my phone is xtremely bad in benchs... about 800 in Quadrant and some more little issues.
So, what more do i need to do if i want to install a custom rom?
Pd: I have read some about the radio and CID but i dont know if i have to set supercid to install a custom or if it is only for Ruu´s
Pd2:How do i upgrade to ICS? My phone is still on GB.
Thankyou all.

Hi,
Updating to super CID will make flashing firmware much easier.
Radio gets updated with the firmware.
To get ICS you need to update your firmware.
Look HERE
Quadrants are not the best way of judging the speed of a ROM

Now i'm super CID'ed what is the next step to flash a ROM? I don't want ICS yet because some importants apps for me doesn't work with ICS. Or what do you recommend? Also, i have installed CWM but can i install 4ext? And now i'm S-OFF can i flash kernels without Flash GUI, Fastboot commands or smartflash right? Just go to recovery flash Rom or kernel and go?

Hi,
In theory,yes.
I haven't done GB in a while.
You might want to SUPERWIPE before you flash the ROM.
This will clean your phone of any previous ROM.
Hope you've backed up your important stuff.

In theory, Hmmm... However, i will make a Nandroid Backup and if something goes wrong i will Restore and that´s all right?

Hi,
When I said "in theory" I was joking.
You should be fine.
Nandroid is essential though,whenever you make ANY changes to your phone.

Hi,
T-Mobile US

Can 4EXT flash any ROM (eg. Gingerbread)?

I've just recently done S-OFF and installed 4EXT recovery plus the latest ARHD ROM.
However I'd like to revert back to a Gingerbread ROM. Preferably a custom one.
Just wondering if 4EXT is capable of flashing any ROM or is it only compatible with the newer ROMS like ICS etc?
Could somebody also recommend a good Gingerbread ROM if possible?
Thanks.

Using Jelly Bean here so no knowledge on the latest GB ROMs.
The issue is to get compatible Firmware for the chosen ROM.
I'm a CWM user but understand that EXT4 can do all that's needed.
So What is your Radio/HBOOT version ??

Hi,
4EXT should be fine to install GB ROMS.
You will firstly need to downgrade your firmware.

It's not working. As soon as I enter the bootloader with these two files on my SD card I get the
error message "Incorrect ID - Update Failed" before I even attempt to do anything. It won't even let me enter the recovery unless I remove them.
I'm on Juopunutbear 1.27 currently. Do I have to downgrade the bootloader as well? And if so how? I'm a bit stuck.

As far i go, i have unlocked bootloader and flash 4ext touch recovery ( thanks to Murtazasamiwala for his assistance).
I interest to install Inspiration Sense 4.1 rom, but when i read it requirements, my device must be s-off.
So, it is possible to install this rom or any Sense 4.1 based rom with my device that still in s-on.
I also already download Revelation JB Sense 4.1 rom, but have no dare to install it cause afraid will bricking my device.
Need help/guide from other expert member. Thanka for the help.

Custom roms with s-on are very unlikely to brick your device.
For a sense 4.1rom try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671547. Venom has released a jb version too.
Happy to help.

Hi, with s-on I think the device is not unlocked...
Yeah, the Team Venom is the better ( my opinion )

Hey,
firstly,
Revelation is not a sense 4.1 rom...it is android 4.1.1 with sense 4+ ( there is a huge difference...google it)
For a Sense 4.1 rom go for
VIperS or Elegancia for best features
and Inspiration rom by @ivicask for best stock experience
For a Sense 4+ rom with JB go for ViperS JB for the features
or Revelation by @SebastianFM for the stock experience (in my opinion Revelation is one of the smoothest roms I have seen so far...you wont be disappointed)
As far as flashing is concerned....most roms mention S-Off as a requirement....But you can flash them with S-On as long as you have 4Ext recovery with smartflash enabled...
Just flash the rom in recovery and 4ext does the rest
Although 4Ext Smartflash isn't working perfectly yet with Sense JB roms...but the solution for that is fairly simple
After flashing the rom on your phone
just unzip the rom on your pc...go to kernel folder and find boot.img file...put that file in the folder where you have adb
put device in fastboot mode and connect usb...start terminal and
...then simply flash the boot.img file using
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
it will work.

So, do you think it is better to have s-off first rather than s-on? I also think about that, but juopunutbear guide to get s-off is very hard and confusing for me to understand.
Besides, juopunut beer tools files for windows have been removed from that sites. Perhaps you could email me or post link for that flash file for windows. I'm using win 7.

S-off is needed if you need to change your firmware (hboot/radio etc) or supercid. As long as you are on 3.32.xxx.xxx/3.33.xxx.xxx firmware, you will be able to flash any ics/jb roms easily with s-on.

You have a higher chance of bricking if you're s-off (if that's what you're concerned about). Like I said, it's highly unlikely you'll be able to brick your device as long as you're S-ON.

I meant not working perfectly in the sense that for Sense JB rome, you need to flash boot.img from adb separately...
otherwise it works perfect..

Yes flashing roms with S-On with 4Ext recovery Will not brick your device...just enable smartflash
it only has a slight problem with ViperS JB...where you need to flash boot.img separately

Thanks again broo.
I decide to flash Revelation JB Rom. After 4ext finish install and ask reboot. But stuck with white screen with htc logo. For ten minutes nothing happen. Then i extract boot.img from zip file, flash manually with adb fastboot. Guess what? It works bro...
Finally, i can enjoy my new face of sensation. Still testing whether any bug or not working program. Btw, thanks to all help from other member here.

Guys, i'm facing problem like this. My device randomly restart it self. For example, when i entering some submenu in setting-developer option, it hang for moment then restart. Also today after i charge battery full, when i unplug and press unlock screen, it also hang and restart also.
So, anyone knows how to solve the problem. Or maybe i miss something in installing it.
ps. I use recomennded default setting in aroma installer, like cpu speed 1.5 ghz and gpu 266, etc.

Nope, i use Revelation JB with sebastian kernel.
Have re-flash it twice but problem still same. I think it is rom related/unstabill. So, i restored my previously old rom backup( stock ics rom), and every thing goes normal. Perhaps tomorrow i'll download another sense 4.1 rom and try again. Anyway, JB rom if it work normally and stabil maybe more fascinating than ICS rom.

All kind of geeky-stuff already done jailbreaked iPad2/ATV2
or custom Roms on GalaxyTab2, Nexus, HTC Desire, HTC Sensation
But if i try to update ANY rom based on 4.4 the Sensation hangs in bootsplash after flashing.
Did everthing usual, wipe/format partitions/clean caches even repartioning sdcard.
Googling hours after this problem in english/german forums but nothing useful.
Clockwork/TWRP/4EXT Recovery tried - actually 4EXT is installed and my favorite
Could it be a problem with HBoot 1.27 ENG S-OFF?
I had to install these former to change the bootsplash picture - with any newer it didn't work.

Negative, it's the actual 4EXT - recommended for flashing newest Carbon

hmm,
if you failed with the latest version of 4ext
then redownload the rom
check md5 sums and flash it

As i wrote in first post:
This happens with ANY 4.4 ROM
Up to 4.3 ROM all fine with any recovery

problem is your recovery, what version of 4ext do you have?

i told him that too
but he said he has problem only with 4.4 roms
with 4.3 everything is fine

Only other cause I could think of is the radio/firmware. Do you have Firmware 3.33? See if it'll help.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154

i don't think so otherwise he would have also problem with 4.3 roms but he hasn't
besides that he has mentioned that he has 1.27 hboot version

Yes, as i said:
latest 4ext 1.0.0.6 RC2 & hboot 1.27 ENG S-Off
4.3 Roms working, only any 4.4 ROM stuck after flashing rom and/or gapps in splash screen

so perhaps thats the problem with 1.27 ENG
(had to downgrade to this for changing splash)
