Hi,
I want to flash a new radio to my Sensation as I currently have a really bad battery life and thought it could maybe be the result of an non-matched radio. (Updated to Android Revolution HD 3.0.0 yesterday)
My bootloader tells me I'm Ship S-OFF, but I've read that I'd need ENG S-OFF to flash a new radio, but could not find any guide telling me how to "do that".
Do I need ENG S-OFF? If so, how can I get it?
Thanks for your help.
Find Bin4ry's thread in dev section (it's a little hard to find, old thread but still) and inside that thread you can download PG58IMG.zip file. Then just flash that file and that's it

Btw, I'm not sure if you need ENG S-OFF to flash a radio

Thanks for the reply. Does anyone else know if I really need ENG S-OFF to flash a new Radio? I don't want to do it if I don't need it..

I've already installed one PG58IMG.zip file a few weeks ago, which was a bit "bigger". Am I supposed to just install the "new" one "over" the old one? Or will there be problems?

You do not need ENG S-OFF to flash a new radio.

What is ENG S-Off used for anyway? Installing a new ROM overwrites the radio though?

Installing a new ROM does not override the radio, installing a new radio does. If you don't know what ENG hboot does, don't flash it. You don't need it, and if you don't know what youre doing you can brick your phone.

I do know what I'm doing (I think xD). I just mixed up all the information I got, so I wanted things to be cleared up a bit.
What I just want to know is, what is the difference between Ship S-Off and Eng S-Off? What is responsible for giving acces to Nand making me able to install a custom ROM? Ship S-Off, right?
I'm really confused right now xD

Ship S-OFF is enough to flash a recovery so you can flash a ROM. If your ROM needs a different radio the chef will let you know and will likely provide instructions to upgrade. ENG s-off opens up more commands that can potentially break a phone if you do the wrong things.

First of all, wrong forum. Second, why would you want that? I guess you can get S-ON again and then run revolutionary again

Hello Developers, I have on updating my UK O2 Branded Sensation XE debranded and backed up the original image via backup and recovery.
Does anyone know or want the files / image so to pass on to the less fortunate of us who didnt backup there system and need the original O2 Stock ROM.
If there are developers can can utilise this please advise what files i need to look for and zip up for you to play with etc.
regards
rich
Definitely worth posting seeing as there isn't an RUU around
I want to go back. Please post . You need to go to into yiur sd, and then clockwork/backups and there should be a backup ffolder. Put that into a zip and upload.
Why do you need it? You're not on o2 or in the UK

Hold on - you got the phone on Orange, are saying it runs nice with the Vodafone ROM but you want the o2 one??? How does ANY of that make sense??
Just get the 1.50.401.1 RUU (or 1.73.401.4 if you have an XE) and flash that - SO much easier
So where's the unbranded backup then?

I have read threads and discussions and tells me that i have to get the STOCK RECOVERY IMAGE back yo my phone to make the OTA update but can't find the recovery image for the 1.73.206.3.
you dont need the backup rom just follow eddy's thread on how to install ics like i did and it will help you learn how to do things.
Then if you still cant figure it out then ask for some help.
I had the same problems but i searched on the threads and now im at the stage of installing roms at my leisure and kernals to test them and tweeking my system and software.
If you are still stuck after trying what ive put above then pm me and i will help you ok.

Wrong it needs the 3.17/3.18 firmware files, it is not about hboot.214, just the same as the touch screen driver issue was never hboot 2.14.
RUU your phone. Easiest method is to supercid, s-off and then RUU.
You will likely want access to a Windows machine at some point during that.
Is it possible to just flash the OTA JB update instead of ruu? I already have supercid, s-off and unlocked

Yes.. but you need to extract the recovery.img from the update zip file. Then fastboot flash the stock recovery (after making sure the ota is on your storage) then boot to bootloader. Then recovery. Press volume up and press and release power to access recovery menu. Then pick the ota and flash
