Hello,
I am new to installing custom ROMs on phones, but due to poor customer service from my carrier I don't have much other choice.
I am trying to install CM10, but my HBOOT version (1.27.0000) is not supported by Revolution. Is there a want to revert my version, or is there another quality ROM that enables tethering via Bluetooth?
Also if I could get an installation walk-though as well that would be great, Thank you for your time.

S-ON or S-OFF?
if you are S-ON flash 4ext recovery
enable smartflash from it
then immediately flash the rom(i think you have to flash also gapps if you want cyanogenmod rom)
also what do you mean that your hboot version isn't supported by revolution?
you can flash also ARHD rom
Hello.
Please read THIS Guide carefully..
Best of luck. :good:

jelly bean roms can boot in ics firmware
many users are using jelly bean roms
but always have a nandroid backup just in case
Thanks All!
Took a couple tries. Finally got it working.
1. Flash ROM (OpenSensation2 - CM10 Mod)
2. Reboot
3. Do original device setup stuff
4. Reboot into Recovery again
5. Flash Gapps
6. Reboot again
7. Setup Google Play Store settings
I was originally trying to flash both the ROM and Gapps and then reboot. Take things one at a time and the end result is much better
Now to try CM10 on my N7.

So, I've unlocked bootloader and rooted my friends sensation all with s on because he was already on stock ICS but then I ran into the problem that you have to flash a certain type of firmware before a custom ROM ??? I've owned several androids and never had to do that and that seems rather weird but I flashes aokp on his phone and it workes successfully. I was wondering what other ROMs are there that are stable and good that you can just straight flash? I'd appreciate it so I can give him more options. Thanks

You do not need any firmware as you already are on the ics firmware from the OTA.
And did you s-off?

No I didn't need to do s off , there was a method since it was already on stock ICS. And its no longer on stock its on AOKP. And some roms do need firmware because I tried to flash cm9 and nightlies like 4 times every time they boot looped and other ROMs, then I re read and they all said they needed firmware flashed first. AOKP is the only one that worked.

Hey yes the flashing roms with SON guide will work.. But firmware flash won't work on SON devices... So flashing 3.33 is not possible for the OP... Just a suggestion
Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
Ok thank you ! iv been doing some more reading about s on, now I see they must be s off in order to do the firmware update. My apologies. Now I know and will remember this.... I am s off and being S on is quite different in many ways. Will do some more reading and study about s on. Again my apologies,.

So I'm having an issue with my battery life, The other day I left my phone completely run out of charge and die during the night. The next day I woke up and recharged it fully. Now my phone does last more then an hour or two off the charger with use when before I could use my phone most of the day and have no issue with battery life. I don't understand why letting my battery completely drain and then recharging it would cause it to act like this.

Everything is stock, i have brightness turned all the way down, stock battery, a year old.
indiferenc said:
unfortunately i'm not sure why the sensation does this, but it happened to me too before i rooted it. i read somewhere that the sensation has some kind of design flaw that makes the battery act weird (get really hot for no reason, reboots, fast battery drain, ect.) my recommendations would be to buy another battery ( $15 anker 1900mAh on amazon works nicely and gives you longer life) and to root your phone and flash a custom ROM. the devs out there have done some good work to make superior software than what comes stock on the sensation. my phone works better than it ever has now. but, thats as far as my expertise goes good luck. maybe someone else has more info

See thats one of the biggest problems is i don't want to flash a different rom. I really Enjoy the HTC UI. If I absolutely have to flash a new rom i will.. But I really do love the HTC UI.
indiferenc said:
dont get me wrong, i LOVE the Sense UI. I'm running Viper 1.6.0 with sense 4.1 and ICS 4.0.4 and its the best. I dont mean flash something other than sense, i meant flash a custom sense ROM, instead of the stock rom. i had so many problems with my Sensation (got mine in sept. of 2011) on the stock rom before i rooted it and it was very frustrating. new battery and on the new sense 4.1, everything is fast, smooth, and stable. WAY better than running stock sense 3.6. its hard to root, but its worth it. trust me

Yeah I found it, I just don't understand how to install it. There's no instructions. I haven't installed a custom rom since my Moto Milestone back in the day. I've Unlocked the bootloader, I've Rooted, I've S-OFF. I just don't know where to go from here.

Ok mate, now you are ready to go. You are rooted so you should have custom recovey installed. For VipreS you will need 4EXT recovey. So if you have clockwork recovey then first flash 4EXT recovey.
Then download full Rom from that thread. Copy that Rom.zip file to recovey.
If your sensation has ICS then you don't need to flash firmware. If gingerbread then you need to update your firmware.
So if you are on ICS then copy Rom.zip to sd card boot in to recovey select install from sd card option. Then browse to Rom file and select. It will start aroma installer where you select what you want. I would suggest to select full wipe so your old system get clean properly.
Good luck mate:thumbup:

i use CWM for all my Viper roms and kernels, and i works just fine. unless there are some advantages i'm not aware of. but i dont recall it saying you MUST have 4EXT for Viper roms.
and btw i'm using a modded faux kernel that works really well too. you flash it just like the rom. its here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29072369&postcount=7579
i've gotten the best performance/battery life with this combo. but the setting you choose for this kernel can be weird, so let me know if you plan on flashing it.
let us know how it works for you! good luck!

It's working really well so far, but It seems slow in comparison of the stock rom. Of course I left all the OC'ing options on default. I'm going to look into speeding it up.
So how did u get urs running so smoothly and quick? Viper on mine is slow to open up app drawer n other apps such as sms.

Hey everybody,
In the past I tried to install the Viper One S rom for my T-Mobile phone. Sadly, the wifi did not work so I was forced to revert back to my original rom. The issues revolved around my hboot being 1.14 and causing those wifi problems. Just now, I successfully got S-Off on my phone! Now what's the best way to get Viper One S working on my phone? Downgrade the hboot? Do the wifi partitions work now now that I got S-Off?
Thanks

It will work. I'm on 1.14 T-Mobile, and I have no issues. Make sure to choose the T-Mobile addons when installing the ROM.

If your installing 2.1...make sure you chose to do a custom install, you will see the T-Mobile option there.

I have the outdated version....that explains it. At first I believed 2.1 to only work on Jelly Bean but under further inspection I see that it isn't.

Its a JB Rom, yes, but that doesnt mean your old rom has to be JB as well.
Hello everyone,
I recently bought HTC Sensation 4g (T-mobile) and it's already S-OFF, rooted (Superuser by ClockworkMod) and recovery is CWM 5.0.2.0 and it has stock rom Android 2.3.4. Recently, I got alerted about an update of 4.0.4 for my HTC then I downloaded it but can't install it so I guess it's because it's rooted. I really want to install 4.0.4 on my HTC sensation 4g then I searched up for roms until I found this rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654347
Now, my question is, how should I flash it? Should I normally just flash it via CWM or via odin? Or I will have to go back to stock recovery for flashing the rom that Steve0007 posted on the thread linked above. And just to confirm, is it compatible with my device?
Android: 2.3.4
HTC Sense: 3.0
Software number: 1.50.531.1
Thanks!

First upgrade your firmware to 3.33universal
Go to the development section and search for kohr-ah's thread
Follow the instructions carefully and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
After that you have to flash an ics or jellybean Rom because your current Rom won't boot with ics firmware
Edit:do not never use Odin for anything.it is not for sensation devices
