however, when i install ANY rom i end up in a boot loop. what could be the problem?
i think im supposed to install a 1.27 hboot? can anyone link me the file?
ill continue reading up in the mean time

Are you flashing the appropriate firmware for the ROM? For ICS ROM's you will need to update your firmware and HBOOT to V3.32 with HBOOT 1.27.000.

Hi,
Yes, you need to flash the appropriate firmware,which for ICS is 3.32
This will give hboot 1.27 ,and the radio you need as well.

[Q] confused about s off after ota ics

hi
i have a sensation xe.
i s off"d it with revolutionary tool before ics update.
now i am thinking of flashing ordroid 9.0.0
i just want to ask whether it is okay to proceed with flashing a custom recovery and then the rom or are there any extra steps i must take??

S off is security off if you do not s off you will have to flash rooms differently and you will not have as much freedom. Its best to s off in my onion if possible. Do search read guide about how to s off. I am rooted and s off and it makes flashing really easy in my opnion.
So go ahead and s off. Before you flash rom make sure and have correct firmware for the rom. Ics takes 3.32 firmware. Gingerbread roms take a different firmware. I use mostly ics or 4.0.3 roms so I use 3.32 firmware. This is the one you will need also for the ics rom. You can find the firmware in Android development. So s off get your firmware then you should be able to flash your rom. Best of luck and hope this helps

well, if you're already S-OFF and all is good, go ahead and flash a custom recovery of course, either CWM or 4EXT...then as realsis mentioned, you'll need a 3.32 firmware for ICS. if you're already SuperCID, go to the relative thread and download the first one you find. follow the flashing instructions and all will be good.
also, you will need to super wipe before flashing a new sense 4 ROM.
that said, please backup your original ROM before flashing a custom ROM.

Hi,
Since you are s-off via Revolutionary,you should be fine to flash custom recovery and custom ROM.
Does it still say "Revolutionary" in your hboot ,after your OTA update?

Don't forget your firmware! Very important OK. 3.32 for ICS roms. Best wishes happy flashing!

[Q] How to reset phone to stock COMPLETLEY?

Hello, I've had an HTC Sensation for about 1 year now, and I would like to sell it (on ebay) with everything stock.
Currently the phone is running an early build of CyanogenMod 10 pyramid (Android version 4.1.2.)
I have also made the phone S-Off with the JuopunutBear method.
Info about bootloader:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT - 1.27.1111
RADIO - 11.23.3504.07_M2
OpenADSP - v02.6.0.2226.00.0131
eMMC - boot
One more note, I have also installed a custom recovery, ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.9 and it is a touch recovery.
Again, I would like to S-Off the phone, install the original recovery (if possible) and the latest stock ROM.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

flash 3.33 universal firmware from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
after that you will have to flash an ics or jelly bean rom from recovery
because your current rom(gingerbread) won't boot with ics firmware

[GUIDE] Official HBOOT v2.xx Downgrade to OLD HBOOT
Now the funny thing is, you posted in that thread as well as creating several threads where you've asked essentially the same questions.

I ment getting s-off without downgrading

No, the only way to s-off the saga is to downgrade.

Why do things have to be complicated

Its a lot easier than it looks, once you start you'll be suprised how quickly you get through it. If you're not comfortable then just unlock the bootloader and flash the kernels through adb.

HBOOT-2.02.0002 S-OFF (android 2.3.7)
Hi everyone,
I have searched the forum but could not find the info i need.
I own HTC desire S, i managed to unlock it with htcdev and flash Reaper v4 Rom (android 2.3.7 without sense).
Now i would like to try 4.2.2 stock version but for this one i have to go S-OFF.
To go S-OFF i have to downgrade hboot.
my bootloader looks like this:
***UNLOCKED***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.02.0002
RADIO-3831.19.00.110
eMMC-boot
so i'm a little confused, and do not know what should i do first to make it S-OFF.
Do i have to flash other rom in order to downgrade hboot or the downgrade is possible with the current rom?
Do i have to make the device locked again?
is here some order i must follow?
thanks u'all

You don't have to be S-off you just have to flash the relevant boot.img extracted from the zip and flash it via fastboot.
