[Q] Why exactly should I flash radio?

Hey, I was asking myself what exactly are the advantages of flashing a newer radio. Asked in ARHD dev thread but figured I'd get an answer in here faster.
I thought radio was for connectivity. So it should be depe ding on where you are. But why then does e.g. ARHD recommend one radio for everyone? Wouldn't it make more sense to keep stock radio, maybe with default settings by your provider?
Thanks for your help.

The radio is linked to the ROM, so the custom ROM in question will always work best with the associated radio. It'll help with battery life, signal, everything. Radios aren't carrier specific

And why can't / don't the chefs put the radio in the Rom to be flashed automatically? Or isthat not possible? Would be the easiest wasn't imo, if its true that the radio is for each ROM th best one.

It can be done, but as flashing a radio is the more risky part of ROM flashing it's not recommended to do at the same time as a ROM. End of the day you don't HAVE to flash the radio but it's best to if it's recommended

Do I need ENG S-Off to flash a new radio on sensation? I've read many different things. Some ppl say I don't need it, some say I do... What's right and what's wrong? That would be my final question. Maybe in a few days ill try to flash the recommended radio as well. Thanks in advance for your help.

No you don't, ENG S-OFF just gives the fastboot commands, as does the Revo HBOOT. I personally use the ENG HBOOT as I don't like the pink Revo banner!

U don't havta fix what isn't broke. Flashing a radio is the best way to brick a phone

[Q] I got 2 sensation, 1 keep restarting. both cm10, 1.27.1111 Hboot

Okay, there is my problem ***(SOLVED)***
I got 2 HTC sensation 4G, First, lets call it: Alt. Had a broken screen, I bought a new one wich we'll call : Main.
Alt came with Hboot 1.18, was rooted using Revolutionary tools. Main had Hboot 1.27 so i used juop tool.
When CM10 came up, I started flashing daily on Alt to wait for a stable, nearly bugfree version of J-B to install on Main. However i always had the same issue : force restart every 10sec or so. After a week or so, I decided to try on my Main even if Alt had trouble. It ran perfectly! Except the little bugs CM10 still had at those time, but no restart at all .Since then I found out that Alt has all the trouble in the world for running any J-B Rom. CM10 is somewhat stable now, but camera and video camera restart the phone, too much request after sleep ( feels like a ''panic'' when missing memory, like if new Govs, werent supported)
Now I Installed Juop Hboot 1.27.1111 on alt as well and the problem persist. I figure my problem is the Radio, wich is now the only firware difference between both. Any Ideas?
I am sick of reading about piece of papers and battery connectors, if your reply has anything to do with cleaning connectors, wedging something in my phone or changing batteries, please sont bother. I got 3 stock battery, the behavior is the same with anyone of those, and the connectors are clean, thank you.

Here are the bootloader screen Info :

So, This : RADIO-11.24.3504.10_m, OpenADSP-v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
Is what I can seem to find Anywhere... the only Ruu i can find for my carrier contains the RADIO-10.14.9035.01_m.

Just so you know, the problem with the connectors can be the phone, ever thought about that? Anyway, did it's screen break when it fell? If so, some internals might be messed up.

Sorry, I guess i wasnt clear enought. I should really point out that by : ''Since then I found out that Alt has all the trouble in the world for running any J-B Rom.'' I meant that every other GB and ICS rom was running perfectly with no restart.. Cm7 was running well for 5months, Only J-B roms shows this problem.
I am convinced that my problem is Firmware, and am only looking for a way to upgrade my Alt radio to the same as Main Or any other FIRMWARE related suggestion. I only created this thread because every others are suggesting physical trouble, play stay on Firmware topic.

Running ics you have two firmware choices 3.32 or 3.33. As for radios and ril I suggest you start with the generic ics radio and matching Ril file. Radio is flashed via pg58img, ril is flashed regularly. Do some experiment and see if that helps.

[Q] Wi-Fi fails to start, icon states "errors"

stupidly accepted "standard update" pushed to me. it removed root and wifi died, ie: will not start. permanent error state (what the errors are, I am unable to determine)
root restored via KGS utility, thank you.
updated firmware to 3.33 and still no wifi
Oh, and in case you haven't figured it out, relative NOOB here.
Looking for trouble shooting or remedy solution, please.
Thanks for the help.

Well, I'm a noob, too, so...
From what I've read it's pretty common for things to go wonky with updates and a factory reset should fix it.
You could also wipe and flash the ROM, I'd think.
Either way, you'd want to back up your apps and such.

[Q] Help Needed

So I did a short search for the answer to this but seems like I cant quit find the answer or it just confusing me and im getting lost. I have an HTC Sensation T-Mobile From the USA model PG58100. This phone is I assume in a bootloop as when it turns on it just stays on the HTC screen. I put it in recovery mode and tried doing just the factory reset but the phone still loops after ward. So i know assume i have to reinstall the stock rom. this phone is not and has never been rooted to my knowledge as I did not receive this new so I am not 100% sure. here is what is displayed when i go into recovery mode

I have downloaded Elegencia Sence 4.1 V8.0.0 zip but I will install whatever you guys feel is best for me. I just need the phone back up and running. it does not need to be rooted or have anything special completely stock would be fine. The simplest way to get it working again is all I need. Thank you in advance.

There you have a bunch of RUUs try with some of TMOUS but choose some newer one.

Need help updating hboot via RUU, S-Off, etc.

I'm using CM10 and I've been wanting to update my S4 to a KitKat rom for some time and now that some stable builds are starting to come out I decided it was a good time.
On my first try flashing a new rom I got an error message asking for a newer version of hboot (mine is 1.14.0002 and it wanted 2.15.0000), so I looked around and found out I needed a RUU to update that, but since finding one for my phone is pretty difficult I decided to S-Off it, because apparently you can use any RUU that way.
Obviously it's not working, that's why I'm posting this. I did the htcdev method to unlock the phone back when I installed CM10 and to get S-Off I followed the rumrunner method. No problems whatsoever so far. They start appearing as soon as I try to update the 2.15.0000 RUU I downloaded from this other tutorial (the HTC Europe one, since I live here).
Following all the steps in that page I read about needing to change the phone's SuperCID to make it compatible with the RUU. First I tried with the default SCID that my phone had (VODAP304) with no luck. Then after a bit of searching I tried changing it to HTC__001 which seemed to be the correct one for the european RUU, but the same thing happened: it gives an incompatibility error, the process stops, the phone bootloops and I have to do a TWRP restore (the back up is from this morning and I made it just before attempting this, so no data loss of any kind)
These are the numbers bootloader gives me, if they're of any help:

What exactly am I missing here to update the hboot?

You don't need to install RUU, you need to flash a new firmware. Take a look at [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322755" ]this [/URL] thread.

But isn't that for kernels? In several hours of research I haven't found one post about kernels for my issue
It does look similar to another method I've found recently that flashes the hboot through fastboot/recovery but users say it's much more risky

Yes it's about kernels and the problem with the new roms is nothing but the kernel. So firmware update is enough as a solution. I don't think it's dangerous if you follow the instructions correctly. But you should follow them word to word with your own risk
