Flashing stock Threemobile Sensations - HTC Sensation

I’ve spend the past few days looking round the forums, and whilst I have a technical background I am completely new to mobile firmware updated.
My one and oney requirement is to speed up my Sensation which has been intermittently un responsive for a few seconds then working again, ever since the ICS update. (Yes I have tried factory resets etc).
The plan was to use the Android Revolutions HD for my Sensation to up the clock speed to 1.5Ghz,
I have the following
HTC Sensation Z710e (pyramid-1.27.0000, Android: 4.0.3, ROM version: 3.32.771.51)
CID = H3G-001
cid list h3g_001,H3g_G04,H3G_106,H3g_402
Because I have HBoot 1.27 then the traditional S-Off methods don’t work, and it’s the wire trick.
The best guide I found was
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
However I don’t appear to be able to flash to Android Revolution HD 6.8 as my firmware is out of date, and I don’t match any of the supported firmware on

Am I stuck or have I missed something obvious?

Hi,
The best guide is the one by asskicker.
Do not worry too much about the firmware.
ARHD will still work on your firmware.

That's the guide i have been reading, and it looks good. The bit i am having issues with is the firmware. Without S-Off i dont believe i can update ?
Also with my current ROM , Can I upgrade to the stock firmware as required by android revolution 6.8
"3.33.401.x firmware is required!"
chicken and egg situation with 3.33.401.x firmware or is the firmware backwardly compatible??

Hi,
You are correct ,in that you cannot upgrade firmware with s-on.
There is no problem,though.
I know it says "Required" firmware,but it will still work fine on the firmware you have.
Go ahead and use the guide to flash it.

ICS Pre-Upgrade Question

Hi everyone!! Have a question to ask and was wondering if anyone could help.
Right so this my situation:
I own a HTC Sensation XE, I have S-OFF, Rooted and SuperCID.
So basically i'm all set for custom roms (gingerbread ones anyway).
I have also installed a custom rom (Pyramid3D v8.3.0 - gingerbread based).
Now I am considering upgrading and installing a ICS based custom rom, however it appears that in order to use the ICS based roms, I have to flash new firmware.
Now I have no problem with doing that, I understand how to do that.
My question is:
If I upgrade the firmware and install an ICS based custom rom, but for whatever reason I do not like it, can I then simple downgrade back to a gingerbread rom?
Will a gingerbread rom work fine with the newer firmware?
Do I have to downgrade the firmware back?
Is there any disadvantage to using the newer firmware on gingerbread if possible?
Is the downgrade as simple as installing any other rom? - if that possible
Thanks in advance for help you guys can give!! Appreciate it!!

Depends, 1.23 (from 3.12) should work fine. 1.27 (from 3.24) won't.

You'll need HBOOT 1.23 or 1.17 to boot GB ROMs. I used 1.23 for a while with ICS and CM7. I've only recently gone to the unlocked 1.27 F/W, seems more stable on ICS. I think I noticed a battery life benefit with CM7 & 1.23, so an advantage.

You need to do it via the PG58IMG.zip method rather than recovery.

Short answers to your questions:
Yes - but you need to downgrade the firmware
No
Yes
You can't use new firmware with Gingerbread
Yes
Detailed stuff can be found in this most helpful post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480061
I think you'll find it worthwhile to move to ICS. Good luck.

+1 on the move to ICS.
My question is:
If I upgrade the firmware and install an ICS based custom rom, but for whatever reason I do not like it, can I then simple downgrade back to a gingerbread rom?
Only if you have a GB compatible firmware installed.
So if I was to install 3.24 then GB roms most likely wouldn't work?
Do I have to downgrade the firmware back?
Is there any disadvantage to using the newer firmware on gingerbread if possible?
You'll need HBOOT 1.23 or 1.17 to boot GB ROMs. I used 1.23 for a while with ICS and CM7. I've only recently gone to the unlocked 1.27 F/W, seems more stable on ICS.
So 1.23 is the best bet if I want to "try" ICS and then can go back if I choose
Another question which I also have then is:
Some ICS roms say that they require firmware 3.24. To clarify, If I install this firmware and an ICS rom, there will be no way for me then install most GB roms (broadly speaking).

From the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
You can reflash an earlier F/W so go back to 1.17, as always if it screws up it screws up. It's the sort of thing I tried to avoid where possible, but sometimes is necessary.
One point though, when you flash 1.23 or 1.27 you'll get a new Radio. If you regress the F/W to 1.17 you'll need to flash a compatible Radio as well.
You "should" be able to try before you buy ICS on 1.23 and also go back to GB. That said, I've found my current combo (VI 3.0.5b7 and 1.27.1100) more stable than an earlier version of the ROM was on 1.23.

[Q] Why am I able to install OrDroid rom only?

Hi every one, I have recently purchased an HTC Sensation XE. I have read and done all the tips several times regarding S-off, Super CID, Rooting. I have S-off and rooted the device. My CID 111111. I don't know why somehow I can only install OrDroid 1.6.1, and upgrade to OrDroid 1.6.2 only and no other ROMs. Could anyone possibly help me to see where I am going wrong? Thank you in advance.
Make sure ur firmware is 3.32 ...
And some phones get.bootlop.bcoz. of the oc kernel make sure u get the one without oc

What firmware is in your bootloader? When you are flashing a rom and it requires a specific Firmware you will need to update that firmware to that roms requirements. First time Flashing also requires a full wipe. . There is a firmware thread in sensation development and how to's. Example.. If i want sense 3.6 rom or new 4.0 rom I would flash firmware 3.32. If your not sure how firmware flashes read up on it. It can cause bootloops if your not flashing the proper zips. Welcome to the world of SENSATION..

Hey pop did ya delete the firmware file you flashed right after you updated it into bootloader? Usually that PG58IMG which would be your firmware file zip should be deleted off your SDcard right after you bootloaded it. And also let me remind ya that even its a lower firmware like 3.24 or less it will have that same PG58IMG file name saved on your wherever downloaded too. So make sure your installing that correct PG58IMG firmware. Other than that ..try a step down from 3.32 and see if that works with the ARHD Rom.

Try the 3.30 firmware. If not just double check to see if you downloaded the right firmware 3.32. Like for me I'm a T-Mobile user so I had to download the T-Mobile version firmware.. hope that helps..

question

ok, i am a experienced android flasher. i have been using cdma devices and my friend has a t-mobile sensation. he is jealous of my ics roms i have been running this weekend. on my cdma i just flash the rom after wiping. firmware updates are optional and they are generally one for all types. i keep seeing super cid and mid stuff having to do with firmware in the sensation dev section, and from what i have read u need special firmware to run the ics roms on his phone. but u have to choose the right firmware according to your mid or cid whatever that is. so if he is using a gsm t-mobile(usa) sensation what firmware do i need to get him?
he is s-off with clockwork recovery and we have flashed roms before i am just confused on the firmware requirements for these gsm phones.
i am the one who rooted his phone as well. i just don't want to f up his phone
thanks
btw i asked him for his current firmware version and he told me 4.0.1. he is going to come over tomorrow and we are going to try and get him on ics so any help is much appreciated
No 4.0.1 is the version of the Android OS he has on his device, it is not the firmware. If he has that as his OS version then he should have the 3.32 firmware as you have to have the 3.32 firmware for any 4.0.? ROM to boot.
CID stands for Carrier Identification, this is specific to each carrier. If the CID of the ROM does not match your device's CID, it will not flash to your device. If you Super CID your device, you can flash any stock ROM you want too. But CID is usually only relevant to stock ROM, although if the ROM is based on a stock ROM you might have to have Super CID to flash it. Cid does not apply to ASOP or AOKP ROMs.
Pm coming your way
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
Never heard of a 4.0.1 firmware
His cid should be supercid with 11111111
And his firmware should be 3.32, good luck.
I think he is on a sense 3.5 rom so the 4.0 must be his rom.thanks for the responses and pm. Starting to understand. Going to shoot for super cid if he comes over today

[Q] Guide to DOWNGRADING from Android 4.0.3 to 2.3.4 for Sensation

Could anyone help me by giving me few steps towards doing this? Once I complete is successfully I will edit this and post a full, detailed guided for anyone else looking to do the same thing.
What I have:
-HTC Sensation which has the latest Android update (never rooted, never changed from anything default)
-I downloaded the RUU 1.5... TMOUS
-I saw that I need to do a bootloader from HTCdev on my phone and Install Android SDK
Can anyone PLEASE give me a little better guide on what to do exactly?
Often people just say "its in the forums, here's a link" and the link will take me to a million other links and explanations. Very confusing and I wasn't able to find a good explanations for us noobs.

JuopunutBear to S-OFF. Flash GB RUU
All you have to do is run the RUU. Make sure your PC has the appropriate drivers for your device and HTC Sync. I had to restore a few times using the stock 1.73.401.4 RUU for my Sensation XE, and that is all that I had installed. I can verify that root is not needed in my experience although I did have S-Off.
I hope this helps.
Don't need HTC Sync installed. Just need the drivers. Not sure if RUU comes with said drivers. Need to be S-OFF to downgrade hboot. ICS hboot is NOT compatible with GB (1.23 is, but that's not what's included with the latest RUUs).
Without S-OFF, you CANNOT RUU back to GB.
If it were so simple as flashing GB RUU, we wouldn't need JuopunutBear
downgrade is very complicated.
root the current ICS and install recovery
Juopunubear S-OFF (require htcdev unlock and root)
downgrade firmware to 1.17
flash GB rom or run GB RUU

[Q] Need verification...lots

GOod night. My main issue is the sheer number of ppl with the HTC OneXL in this forum. Lot of posts i see say 'sent from my HTC OneXL'..i read something on this very site telling me that when downloading ROMs or anything really for a device, make sure you get the correct files. This forum contains info on the AT&t and ROgers HTC OneX annddd the Telstra OneXL..the only real ROMs i am interested in would be the latest KitKat update from AT&T, CyanogenMod11 and MIUI. Ive got the necessary info on my device here. Ive already unlocked my bootloader, rooted, SuperCID. Root fully working with TWRP recovery. Still on the stock ROM. Im from the Virgin Islands, and with my HTC devices in the past as well as the Galaxy S4s, CyanogenMod ROMS always seemed to provide slightly worse WiFi performance in terms of distance. Also was a fan of CM from the Inspire4G due to its Torch app with its dual LEDs, utterly unchallenged on high-brightness, lol. Anyways, here are the specs on my current HTC OneX from AT&T:
Android vers. 4.0.4
Sense 4.0
Software # 2.20.502.7 710RD
SDK Level 4.23
Kernel - 3.0.8- 015 58-g7f75e5b
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT
Baseband: 0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L
Build Number: 2.20.502.7 CL79936
My Bootloader Info:
EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-11111111
HBOOT - 1.14.0002
RADIO - 0.19as.32.09 11_2
OpenDSP - v29.1.0.45 0622
My questions basically are:
is there a CM11 ROM for the AT&T OneX?
yet possible to download the latest OTA for KitKat for the AT&T OneX?
Does my phone NEED to be updated to the 3.18RUU for either the official KitKAt from AT&T, MIUI or CM11 ROMS to function?
Thanks so much.
The att HTC one x and the HTC one XL are the exact same phones. Everything you find here will work on your phone

And yes, you have to run the 3.18 ruu, unlock your bootloader, achieve s-off, install a custom recovery, and install the Roms that you want.

All the answers to your questions are in that link I posted.
Yes you will have a stock recovery after the RUU. You will need to flash TWRP or CWM recovery in fastboot mode (bootloader mode) after running the RUU.
You will need to enter your recovery after you flash it and flash SuperSU (or equivalent) to root the Rom.
Your phone will remain unlocked, SuperCID, and S-Off after running the RUU.
As for the toolkit, you can do these things without it. A tool kit at this point is a crutch. You a far enough along now that you should understand how these things work. (OK. off soapbox now.)
Read through the link I posted. I detailed all the info you need to be successful. Good luck.
Agreed. Forget the toolbox, it's a crutch and is totally unnecessary. If you need instruction on flashing a recovery, installing a ROM, among other things, have a look at my How-To Guide For Beginners thread in my signature. You should also read the Evita FAQ thread in my signature.

Lot of posts i see say 'sent from my HTC OneXL'..i read something on this very site telling me that when downloading ROMs or anything really for a device, make sure you get the correct files. This forum contains info on the AT&t and ROgers HTC OneX annddd the Telstra OneXL..the only real ROMs i am interested in would be the latest KitKat update from AT&T, CyanogenMod11 and MIUI. Ive got the necessary info on my device here. Ive already unlocked my bootloader, rooted, SuperCID. Root fully working with TWRP recovery. Still on the stock ROM. Im from the Virgin Islands, and with my HTC devices in the past as well as the Galaxy S4s, CyanogenMod ROMS always seemed to provide slightly worse WiFi performance in terms of distance. Also was a fan of CM from the Inspire4G due to its Torch app with its dual LEDs, utterly unchallenged on high-brightness, lol. Anyways, here are the specs on my current HTC OneX from AT&T:
Android vers. 4.0.4
Sense 4.0
Software # 2.20.502.7 710RD
SDK Level 4.23
Kernel - 3.0.8- 015 58-g7f75e5b
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT
Baseband: 0.19as.32.09.11_2_10.105.32.25L
Build Number: 2.20.502.7 CL79936
My Bootloader Info:
EVITA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-11111111
HBOOT - 1.14.0002
RADIO - 0.19as.32.09 11_2
OpenDSP - v29.1.0.45 0622
My questions basically are:
is there a CM11 ROM for the AT&T OneX?
yet possible to download the latest OTA for KitKat for the AT&T OneX?
Does my phone NEED to be updated to the 3.18RUU for either the official KitKAt from AT&T, MIUI or CM11 ROMS to function?
Thanks so much.

That's true. The latest OTA that is currently rolling out just updates to Sense 5 and Android 4.2.2.

Any of the radios in the radio thread are okay to flash on the EVITA. The Google map may be a good start, but only trial and error will tell you for sure which one is the best for you.
Any ROM but the stock AT&T ROM will let you turn off LTE in Settings. This is what I would recommend. What radio you use has no bearing on turning off LTE, if that is what you are asking.
