Hi everyone. I'm quite nervous about flashing a radio as i know it can brick the device with a small mistake. I've read up on it quite abit, but i was wondering if people could answer a few small questions so that i wont make any mistakes!
1. Does a radio need to be flashed before/after a new ROM is installed? OR is it okay to flash at any time?
2. I don't quite understand the difference between Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 and a PBLAHBLAH.Img File?? Which one should i use/put on SD Card..?
3. Do i need Radio S-Off... i have normal S-off + root ... and im running android revolution 3.6.0 =] ( if i do, how do i get radio S-off? )
4. Chances of bricking my phone even if everything is done correctly?
5. Thank you v.much for your time + help

Hi,
1.Doesn't matter
2.Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 is flashed from PC/laptop and is found on the [OP](follow the read me).
PG58IMG.zip is flashed from sd card
3.If you have S-OFF ,you have RADIO S-OFF
4.There is always a chance.However,this is kept to a minimum,if you follow the instructions carefully and to the letter.
5.You're welcome.
Thanks v.much guys. I'll give it a go tomorrow and let you know the results!
Managed to flash radio successfully. Thanks v.much for the help!!
I was curious about this as well because I flashed ARHD 3.6 but never did the radio. My phone has been fine...
So is there a radio that gets flashed in the Rom?

Upon flashing the new version I almost missed it, but yes there is an updated radio to flash. I highly recommend it, I saw a significant increase in data transfer, coincidence or not, always good to keep the ROM with the correct radio installed.

Hi,
No radio gets flashed when you install a new ROM.
That is why they are posted separately.
I strongly recommend flashing 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 radio
--- Using a "non matched" radio could have a negative effect on performance, battery life & signal strength ---
Check the [OP] of the ARHD 3.6.0 ROM
Interesting. And I thought I was learning...So I'm using the same radio that I had before Mike's ARHD?

Hi,
Indeed ,you are.
You can check it if you want.

Question: Does Mike's recommended radio for Android revolution 3.6.0 work well for T-mobile USA?

Confirmation
I was just reading through this thread. can someone please confirm my steps to flash radio. thanks.
I rooted and unlocked the bootloader. ARHD installed a couple of days ago.
so what i did so far was download the file
"Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 from the ARHD"
I unzipped it
then i read the "READ ME" file
I also md5checksum the file as well.
so do i follow the instructions in the file?
1. Connect your phone into a PC, and make sure that USB Debugging is enabled
2. Click "Start here". A black command prompt window will open
3. Type: "adb reboot bootloader"
4. Once your phone is in bootloader (white screen with text), type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
5. When the flashing completes, type "fastboot reboot"
EXACTLY as it is stated above word for word?
reason im asking is because i have been reading about flashing radio through
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178143
and it says something about a ZIP file? please verify. thank you so much.
so which is the correct method because mikes sounds so much easier. i cant find any zip files either. thanks
That is the correct steps if using the radio from Mike's ARHD site. The other link to the radio page refers to using the PG58IMG.zip file on the root of your SD card and then booting into bootloader. The bootloader will read this file automatically and prompt you to apply update using the volume rocker. This is the method I have always used without issue. Just remember to remove the PG58IMG.zip file from the root of the SD card before trying to enter bootloader again after flashing or you will never get past that part.
If you want to use the fastboot method then use the radio from Mike's ARHD page, and if you want to use the PG58IMG method you will need to download the radio you want to flash from the radio page. Good luck and happy flashing

hi
i have installed s-off and mikes 3.6 rom and all is working fine, i have tried to update the radio using the instructions.
i am using win 7 and using cmd prompt as administrator
when i type 'adb reboot bootloader' the phone reboots to bootloader screen but when i type the command to flash the radio it just sits there saying 'waiting for device' i have to ctrl c it to stop. The radio firmware stays the same on the phone and it reboots fine. I have enabled usb debugging.
Is this a win 7 issue or something else ?
cheers

Hi,
Have you got Htc Sync installed?
hi
yes, i have htc sync on my laptop in windows, i did the s-off and rom flash in linux, i remember it saying to enable htc sync during one of the steps in the s-off instalation, the radio flash is a windows app though. do i have to select it again when i connect usb ?

Hi,
I think you select charge for radio installation.
thanks i will give it a try. i think i have allready tried charge only and mount as a disk drive. i just tried htc sync and it didnt work. maybe a driver problem, i am downloading latest version and will see if it works. I did read another post somewhere that said the windows drivers had to be correct to use adb
cheers
solved
i downloaded and installed the new htc sync, It works fine now. disconnected it and set to charge only. when i ran the radio program the installing drivers message came up, i think it was installing the adb driver. There were more messages from the cmd prompt which meant at least it was talking, downloaded new radio and it completed successfully. phone rebooted no problem. Unless its my imagination it seems faster on internet now
cheers
Guys I made a s-off using ControlBear and it crashed!!! so now I can not turn on my phone. Only what can I do is Bootloader and recovery modes. what is the reason of it and is there any solution???
I have requested that a mod move your thread to the Sensation Q&A forum for better device specific assistance.
Did s-off work?
When you say you can get into recovery mode do you mean 4ext or clockworkmod? Or do you mean something else?
If you can get into 4ext or cwm download a new rom and flash it. You should boot right up.
If you can only get to bootloader you can probably update your firmware with a modded version that has a custom recovery included, then proceed to the previous step.
If you need to do the firmware thing you can find all you need in the firmware thread in the development forum.
But....s-off has to have worked in order flash new firmware.
If all else fails you can run an ruu to restore the phone completely to stock and start over.

I rooted my phone with this guide: techdraginfo.blogspot.com/2012/06/root-htc-sensation-xe-on-android-403.html
Bootloader details:
"
*** UNLOCKED ***
PYRAMID D PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.29.0000
eMMC-boot
Time and Date
Then HBOOT, details how to scroll and select items, fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock and image crc.

So, I rooted my phone, then downloaded some apps. I downloaded rom toolbox too. There, I downloaded Cyanogenmod 9. I Installed it and the Cyanogenmod's startup screen thingy was there. So, I removed the battery and rebooted it. Then I started doing all these random things with "HTC All In One Rooting Kit". I flashed CWM 5.8.2.7 Touch, DoomRecovery B! (Custom SWM), Interim (Custom CWM), Stock and Kernel. Then I started rebooted my phone and now it freezes to the HTC starting screen, not even the Cyanogenmod loader pops out anymore.
Try to do a wipe and start it up.

Yes it will do nothing.. You just flashed a recovery.. You need to use that and flash the cm9.1 again
Use that guide as reference and follow it to the letter
(except instead of superwipe use 4EXT - wipe/format- format all partitions except sdcard)

Okay. I got the 4EXT working, did wipe/format. I need that RUU though, and I don't know my firmware radio. How am I supposed to find it out.
Your firmware will be listed under settings,software information, more, base band. it will give your information.usually ICS roms are either 3.32 or 3.33 . I hope this helps.
It will read out the radio and the radio will coincide with the firmware. Example my radio is 11.76.A3504.00p _ this coincides with 3.33 firmware .

Maximus HD --- No you need S-off for this. The firmware updates your Hboot, Radio, and you flash a different recovery and finally Rom
You might check out other Rom's that have Sense 5 4.2.2 features. They do not require S-off like Maximus does.
Hi thanks for your reply.
Do you know of any such roms that don't require the s-off?
I installed odyssey, its got no google playstore..suddenly my computer no longer recognizes my sd card / phone.
I tried adb push, managed to get a stock orang001 tmobile uk package to the root folder, but when i turn off the mount, it says its bad..which is a little odd.
Seems thought I got odyssey installed / flashed etc, its so bare as its practically useless to me unless i have google, plus its got weird glitches on boot up, taking forever, always booting into the developers screen etc.

With Odyssey you have to flash slim gapps after you install the rom.
Your Sd card (partition) may be corrupted, the way to fix that is to put the stock recovery back on your phone then go to bootloader and "clear storage"
All of the other Roms don't require S-off, MagioRom is being actively developed with the sense 5 and 4.2.2.

I tried Maximus with CWM, did i using sideload and them flash the boot.img file. but it was a disaster as my device didn't connect to wifi and had some call drops then I tried flashing twrp and then sideloaded magicrom 4.0 and flas boot.img, it looks lot better now but only issue right now is my phone keeps on rebooting and am still waiting for a stable rom to be released.
I read MagioRom comments and they say with that ROM phone reboots a lot. So I think the only way is with MaximusHD. The WiFi problem I think it can be fixed. I don't know about the call drops, but many have this ROM as daily use so I guess it's ok. I will try S-off with moonshine method, then try install Maximus. Hope my phone survives.

Since my phone doesn't appear to have its own forum ill post here.
My issue is this. That HTC shell keeps crashing more and more on me eg when i close Firefox lore often than not it flashes that whhite screen with HTC logo. Now i wanna do my first attempt at flashing a custom rom.
I'm s-off and hboot 1.27 i think. According to HTC the hardware is not capable of running 4.3 but I'm wondering if it can withal a custom rom. That sense shell has to be slowing things down.
I'd love a rom as close to stock android as possible if there is one. Are there any specific current build details i need to save? Like baseband, build number, imei (as i read somewhere that certain roms could change/remove the imei number resulting in not being able to register on my provider's network).
The rom will have to be able to operate in Belgium (and the eu in general) and offcourse have superuser been flashed. I'll install supersu myself.
Can someone help me out?

use ARHD 7.3 ROM
it is the closest to the ics stock
or revelation rom which is the closest to the jelly bean stock
by the way it won't change nothing at all(imei etc)
before flashing do a nandroid backup
full wipe
then flash the new rom
also sensation/xe/4G are the same devices
Do you have any links to either of them and maybe YouTube vids? Which one will give the smoothest results on my phone. Its not exactly the best hardware anymore and may be underpowered for ics. Since they will be most likely to be based on HTC builds, i will need one that can remove al that HTC aps crap and stuff like Facebook, twitter,... i don't use any of that stuff.
Which recovery is best too? Twrp, cwm or 4ext?

You don't need to unlock bootloader via htcdev. Just flash the 3.33 firmware and patched hboot for more fastboot commands. Just check the firmware thread in development section.
And for recovery i'll suggest 4EXT or TWRP.

no need for htcdev site
both threads(firmware and ARHD ROM7.3)you will find them in development section
best wishes
note:before flashing the firmware
check md5 sums(important)

hmmz i can't flash the recovery
fastboot flash recovery twrp2630.img <== renamed openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-pyramid.img
sending 'recovery' <5758 KB>... OKAY
writing 'recovery' ... FAILED <remote: not allowed>
** edit ** nvm that: worked once i unlocked the bootloader again via htcdev ofc forgot to make an aps backup first
i'll post back when i'm good to go. could be this wknd
so i've checked em out. ARHD is running 403 i'd like to update to newer so i went to look at u guys's build (ViperS) and Revelations
according to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubJIvUv7Lyk ViperS has a bit of a battery drain problem and camera not working? Is this fixed? How's the battery usage
one feature i do require is usb on the go. How does viperS run compare to revelation, did either of you try em both out? no problem with the google play store? How does OTA work, since the device won't be receiving updates from HTC anymore, does it check for newer versions of the rom?
i would also like to keep beat's audio
oh and i suppose it's multi-language? I would like to use dutch ofc. SMS dictionary spellcheck & prediction? GPS?
sry bout all the questions but this will be my 1st ever rom flash

Battery is quite better than other JB ROMs in ViperS. Camera is working totally fine. It just multiple HDRs causes reboots which is a known bug.
Both ViperS and Revealation have USB OTG support. If you like to play and tweak your phone go with ViperS and if you want stock JB Sense experience go for Revealation.
OTA support is provided by Team Venom and right now both ROMs are rock stable. Just some negligible bugs and you can live with them. Its my daily driver so don't worry about it. GPS works fine and it support multi languages. Go for it and give your Senny a new life.

mind telling what those "neglible bugs i can live with" are? Just wanna have all the details before i flash something, google market works as it should i suppose and both come with rooted? Cause i'll be needing the root access for a few to install aps

Bugs which are listed on the OP of the ROMs are the only one. Yes It comes pre-rooted with busybox and SU installed. Google play works as fine as stock.

that's why we told you to flash 3.33 universal firmware
so you can have access to any fastboot commands
but you preffered htcdev site
nevermind
by the way everything are mentioned before about vipers and revelation are true
go for them and you won't regeret it:good:
don't i still need that fw anyway? to not get a bootloop or a rom that doesn't want to boot?

you are already on ics firmware so any ics and jb rom will work
leave it as it is now
So i've grabbed the ViperS rom. How do i proceed now?
Copy it to root of SD card? Fire up TWRP manager (android app), click install > browse to zip & flash it? correct? or is via recovery safer?

i suggest to do it from recovery
before flashing make a nandroid of your current one
full wipe
flash the rom
done
What do i tell twrp to backup? Boot, cache, data, recovery, system, android secure?

actually everything
i have never used TWRP but surely has an option to backup all of them at once
Backup went flawless. Now a last question and i should be good to go. I know i can use titanium backup to restore aps from my 'stock" rom to the viper rom for play store aps. But what about "system" aps like "mail" can i use titanium to restore the account settings or is it safest to start completely from scratch since it will be a totally new rom.

Never restore system apps of some other ROM. Its recommended to start from the beginning and setup mail accounts for new Rom
