[Q] New Sensation Hboot/firmware

Hi there,
Just a quick question, i'm currently running a GB custom ROM/kernel and very happy with it, but i am interested in trying an ICS ROM.
Once i flash the new 1.20 hboot, can i flash GB roms over it if i decide ICS is too buggy at present?
Or would i need to roll back to 1.17 hboot?
Thanks in advance

To me I hated the ics firmware and I went back to the original 1.45 firmware afterwards

so long as you have a custom recovery, hboot version doesnt matter in regard to flashing ROM, you will be able to go back to GB

Thanks, because i know the adjusted partitions help make ICS smoother, i was just wondering if those adjustments have a bad effect on GB roms?

I don't know about the original poster but one of the reasons for going back for some is to regain advanced fastboot commands which are not supported HBOOT 1.20.
Although confusing some refer to the radio as part of the firmware. It is best practice to make your radio match your ROMs RIL and vice versa, but you don't have to.

Apparently not, if understand mike1986 comments correctly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618. Some partitions will simply be unused by a GB ROM.

Oh know. I hated it because it was super laggy for me. And I was lucky to have found the 1.45 firmware update

I had good speed, no lag and good battery life, but then again, i flashed the RUU i dunno if that has something to do with it

If I decide that the new firmware is too laggy etc etc, is there an easy way to roll back to the device to the state it is in currently?
As in by downgrading the hboot, will that revert everything?

@hereisphilly you could make a backup.
But I do not advice that. just do new installs, in this way it never breaks.

im currently on the same eng hboot 1.17 and im running insertcoin ICS rom, i dont wantto flashnew firmware i dont want to lose fastboot commands

the Hboot is not the issue with the new ICS rom's.
but the radio is. if the device is rebooting and looses wifi signal etc. try flashing only another radio. (you can always flash back the radio)

[Q] One X and question on firmware and HTC Dev bootloader unlocking

I am on my way to go and buy two At&t One x. They are currently still running 1.73 thankfully. Im not new to rooting or anything, just this device. My question is since its still on 1.73 should I unlock bootloader via HTC Dev, and will this mean i can always run a custom recovery and ROMS going forward?
Example: if bootloader is unlocked, can I then update a device to the most current (2.2 i believe) and still be able to have a custom recovery therefore run the ROM of my choice and even revert back to stock at will?
My goal is to keep it flexible and not lock myself out of an option because of an update. One of the devices is for my neice so I want her running stock for now, but would unlock the bootloader just as a safety net and to futureproof the device if we run some JB roms for her, or CM10. Any help would be greatly appreciate.
Im coming from a Nexus so Im not used to looking for exploits to run a ROM, well not since the EVO days. Thanks a plenty!

Honestly I wouldn't ever run the update on the phone. No reason to risk it as you can download the stock roms (or CleanROM) from the developers section and just flash it normally. This would be the most flexible.
Having said that, maybe someone else can chime in and answer your questions initial questions. I don't really know the answer.

Your lucky use one of the one click root methods there's some on xDA or some that I can givenu a link too.... Than go on to unlocked boot loader ...honestly of u want her to be stock put her on clean rom.

So you're saying I should root first and not use HTC boot loader unlock tool? I'm still trying to search for the answer to my questions as well. What's the best root method? I honestly would like to have a custom recovery, unlocked boot loader, and running stock 4.0.4 or better just to try it out first. Then find a good Rom . Any suggestions?

I would unlock your boot loader. Flash teamwin recovery project, and then flash a STOCK ROOTED rom, whether it be sense or cleanrom. This will remove the ota feature so you don't accidentally update your hboot
Using the HTC boot loader unlock method is fine, if you don't mind your warranty being void. If not try the manual version. All of these tutorials are available in the android development section.
Once your boot loader is unlocked you are good to go. Just DO NOT RUU to 2.20 or you will not be able to flash kernels and radios.

So even with an unlocked boot loader if I ota to 2.2 I'm screwed? Got it. So any suggestion on the best stock ROM and then a Jelly Bean ROM? Do the one click root methods work the best?

I was able to one click mine, however some users report they cannot use the one click method, but manual works for them.
Yes, never ruu to 2.20, even with an unlocked boot loader it will screw you over. If you ruu to 2.20 without supercid then you are just Sol completely.
As for stock ROMs, go try out Team Venoms ViperXL. Make sure you download "HTC One XL" and not "HTC One X" they are 2 different phones and flashing anything made for the One X will brick your One XL.
When it comes to jellybean, I am on MIUI because I like the iOS aspect of it. I still am a fan of Cyanogenmod, since that was the first aftermarket firmware I have used. So I would recommend CM10 unless you want a little more customization, then go with AOKP. I have never tried paranoid android, but it is a combination of CM10 and tablet display modes.
The One XL is codenamed "Evita" and the One X is codenamed "endeavour"

Are these ROMs fully functioning? Camera is important for me. I thought that CM10 wasn't quite there yet but I'm definitely going to check some of these out. I don't have a computer here so I can't do anything yet. Its killing me! Thanks again for all the suggestions, Ill take all the help I can get!

Many of the sense ROMs are flawless.
The AOSP (Jellybean) ROMs are pretty stable, and camera does work on them.
CM10 is still in Nightly, but I think it'll be reaching a stable build soon.

With a huge amount of awesome mods and customization options, I do not consider ViperXL to be a "stock ROM". Sense based, yes.
If the OP wants to stay strictly stock, there are flashable, pre-rooted versions of the most of the stock AT&T firmware versions.
But I think your point is a good one, that some of the custom ROMs build off of stock, while adding some optimizations and useful features, while keeping the stability of a stock ROM.

The 2.20 hboot plugs the whole by which kernels and radios can be flashed via recovery. So flashing the kernel/boot.img requires flashing separately using adb every time you flash a ROM. Not sure about radios.
Really, there is no benefit to updating officially either by RUU or OTA. You gain nothing, and lose ability to flash kernel and radios via recovery.

As said before - root, unlock bl, flash recovery and flash a rom, be it stock rooted or custom.
Don't update to 2.20 OTA.

Quick question but maybe off topic. Is the screenshot to MMS problem fixed with custom ROMs? I noticed that if I send a screen shot via MMS its so small the recipient can't see it. Maybe a bug just on 1.73? Annoying none the less!

Can't answer that.. I can't send or receive MMS even though I have service and 4G LTE
But I don't think its an issue on AOSP

Sounds more like an APN issue in your case. I'd double check your APN or even delete and set it up again.

[Q] Questions about flashing a new radio

I'm thinking about flashing the newer radio without flashing a whole OTA update so I don't have to worry about re-unlocking, changing ROMs. So I have a few questions.
1. Is it worthwhile, first of all, to upgrade to the 11.59.3504.00U_11.16.3504.20_2 radio over the original 10.48.9007.00U_10.12.9007.07?
2. I downloaded a (older) radio-only PG59IMG (for the MT4GS) just to see what it contained and it had a radio.img plus android-info.txt. The android-info.txt was lengthier than the one in the OTA update. So is android-info.txt important to flash if I flash radio.img?
3. Some folks mentioned that it might be important to flash rcdata as well. How is this done?
4. And for flashing radio.img (plus possibly rcdata and possibly android-info.txt if necessary), what's the method? Put all required files in a PG59IMG.zip file or....?
Thanks in advance.

are you s-on or s-off? if you are radio s-off then you can flash the update via pg59img.zip through bootloader and the reflash recovery and rom. this take much time and although its easy (i guess) there are better ways. simply just flash what you want through fastboot, or you can remove what you dont need in the pg59img.zip
HEREis a little tutorial i made a in the g2/dz section on how to use fastboot to flash firmware, dont use the files in that post of course but the concept is the same
---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------
oh and to answer your other questions, it may be worthwhile, it may not
the problem is that usually the latest radios for a particular device is best for most, as the carrier will attempt to provide the clearest reception, longest battery life, etc for the majority of its users. but it still is on a case by case basis and what works for some may not work as well for others, so if its not broke, dont fix it.
having said that its not too hard to change back so feel free to test different radios and see what works best for you
as for rcdata, it does appear to help most people but you can try with or without it and see what works for you. some people say they get no gps without it, data drops without. other say everything is just fine. on that note there is evidence that matching the radio ril-libs will also give improvements, although for me i couldnt really tell too much and being they need to be flashed with each new rom flash i slowly stopped and havent noticed any improvements/declines in performance.
i just felt this is willing to note as so many seem to swear by it in the g2/dz forum and ive never noticed it in any other phones forum mentioned before Here is more info on edkeys research
hopefully all this helps you understand more

Personally, I got the latest radio by reverting to the most recent OTA stock, which included the radio. From there, I did the HTC unlock, did a stock backup after getting my basics configured, and now I have a full stock fallback to insure that I have something to recover from. Often, when I switch roms, I don't have a huge amount of time to deal with problems, since I use my phone for work, so having a good "safe" if not sexy backup is in my opinion a good thing to do.

Well, I got lots of random reboots after flashing the new radio. Same with radio + rcdata. So I reverted to the original radio/rcdata, which works fine for me. It was an interesting experiment. Thanks for the advice.

Revolutionary, back when I got the phone about a year ago.

There were problems flashing the new radio to Revolutionary unlocked devices back when the new radio came out. Seems that nothing much changed. IIRC to get the radio to work you needed to do the OTA and HTC Unlock to get back to a flashable device.

Ok, so I've ignored all rooting/unlocking developments since I already had revolutionary unlock. So can you correct me if I'm wrong on this? To do OTA and HTC Unlock AND restore S-Off, I would:
1. flash OTA via PD59IMG.zip
2. do HTC Unlock which I'm presuming is this? http://htcdev.com/bootloader
3. Do "JuoPunutbear" process to get S-Off (using this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617488 )
And then flash radios, etc.
Is that right?

sounds right to me, and by the way radio soff is key for any android phone.

Hmmm, I'm glad a researched a bit more. Since I'm already Revolutionary S-Off, it doesn't look like that is currently reversible, so no going S-Off with a different method. So unless I'm missing something, it looks like I'm sticking with what I have, which works fine. Just curious if the newer radio might give me a little better reception.

That is an interesting guide you have composed. But how similar were the desire z and g2? About the same as differences between Mt4gs and sensation? I'm thinking could it be possible to load a sensation hboot on to this phone?

well there are the obvious like different cpu, gpu, emmc partitions. and similarities like screen size and pixel density. but i think it would be tough. and would definitely need to match the radio to the spl. things like this have been done before (dream with sapphire hboot) but things needed hacking to work, which is beyond my ability.
if someone found a way to jtag the doubleshot (which for all i know its been done) then testing wouldnt be bad - if you are really interested in swapping hboots then talk to ezterry, he is the best at hacking spl's that i know of
opps, misread
i thought you were saying put the g2 hboot on the ds. the sensation is a lot more similar to the ds and more feasibly swapped but again i would talk with a higher authority on this to be sure.
also what is there to gain? im not too familiar with either phone so i dont know what benefit a sensation hboot may have over a doubleshot one

well it might, like I said I don't know much about the sensation (or the doubleshot for that matter) but I gather the cpu and gpu are the same but there an offical ics? not really sure, but if there is there may be potential here but I'm sure the camera has different drivers than ours and that seems to be the only thing limiting our ics roms. maybe someone could shed some more light on weather it would be useful/possible

My SIM card is a TM9073 model. A heard a TM9177 model SIM might solve the issue.
I solved the data problem in the meantime by flashing
[ROM]MikXE-v0.4[Custom Kernel][Sense 3.6 ICS][Tweaks/Quick Settings][updated 7/20/12]
I'm now getting 4110-5718kbps UP & 1773-2253kbps DOWN like I'm used to getting here.

Its Ubuntu haha.. Pretty awesome setup I use 12.04... If you decide to use it, install
64bit just in case you decide to try building from source.... I agree with the above answer as well.. You can not flash an ruu that is below your hboot.. The partitions will go through the motion of flashing but will not actually flash no matter how you try.. I've tried all three ways...to include flash image GUI and HTC dumlock...hope this helps

Energy rom, CM10, and paradroid (whatever it called)
but they are not a good rom for me..
I am in the same situation as you, because of there are not many roms for this garbage phone..
I am trying to selling it and get a popular phone which are easier to flash custom roms.
PS: HTC always make stupid phones, no wonder the company is going bankrupt.

Its funny how I have no issues whatsoever with my hboot 1.14.
Easier to flash custom roms? I flash roms the same way on all my devices - in recovery. The only difference with the S is i have to spend 5sec on typing "fastboot flash boot boot.img" before first boot up. Yea, hard stuff that
And... why did you buy it if you think htc only makes stupid phones? Makes no sense to me...

You should get WiFi on almost all ICS ROMs.. If the base rom is your hboot or lower..

Just for informational purposes, I was having the same problems: serious problems with Wi-Fi on several different ROMS. I also have hboot 1.14. I'm currently running CM10 and installed a custom kernel and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Most wifi issues revolve around t-mobile phones I believe. It often relates to the 2.35 update. Others did not have these issues.
You can also solve via superCID and flash another RUU (that has a similar level of bootloader).
But yes, a bootloader downgrade will solve this, since then you can flash other wifi partitions (even the Jelly Bean ones).
Alternatively you can wait for the OTA upgrade to Jellybean.

I got it because it was the best hardware out at the time and not for Sense.

Ya its seems that to me too.

Well I moved from T-Mobile and went to att so I'm trying to sell the phone but I have particular buyer that wants it rooted and they'll pay the full price if I can get viper or a Jb Rom on it. Ok so ill attempt the hboot downgrade.

[Q] Help with ROM

Guys, wondering if someone could help me. Have a new HTC One XL (Telstra edition).
I have unlocked using HTC dev and have TWRP installed.
I did a complete wipe, loaded the UNOFFICIAL CyanogenMod 10.1 for HTC One XL (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064621) via TWRP, flashed the boot image.
Now, the system is booting up, but the screen isn't registering (i.e. any touch of the pad doesn't yeild any result). The power button works, the sound buttons work, but no touch. I know the touchscreen isn't the issue, because it is fine when using TWRP. Any suggestions?

You have to run a sense jb rom now if you have the new firmware and hboot

Cheers mate, I will do that then.
Darn though, I'm annoyed because I had the old firmware originally and updated it prior to unlocking I prefer the stock Android experience.

Sorry that's what happens when you OTA. in time the problem will be solved but for now you can load venom it's really solid

Ah no probs man, my fault, still a bit a noob with all this phone customising, but I'm a linux geek from way back so it wasn't too difficult to understand. I will give venom a go, cheers again for your (extremely speedy) help.

Once the att ota drops I'm sure this issue will get solved

Why are you so sure of that? Because more people will be affected, and therefore devs will be more motivated to solve this issue?
Other than that, I don't see how the AT&T OTA will help in any way. But maybe I'm missing the point here.

I know its too late for you. But for the benefit of others, I've said time and time again: If you are rooted/BL unlocked or want to be, don't take any OTAs. Period. Its really that simple.
