Hello every one, i want to ask if Roms can be Baseband included ?
Example: if i got an HTC with an Asian Baseband, can i install Roms "Based on EU Stock Rom" for the same HTC model?
Because i have read on some forum threads that if you install different region basebands you could get some trouble or even a brick.
Does some Roms include Basebands ?
I'always make sure to install Roms made for my device model and i always follow the instructions, but now i'm a little afraid after i'have read about this thing.
And if you want to upgrade or change baseband, do you need to have only S-OFF or you can do it with S-ON "Unlocked" ?

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.

NO GB on this F/W
I am using ICS for 3 days.the reception is weeker than GB.my rom revolution 6.
who else have this problem ?
specially official ICS .do you have reception problem with offisial rom ?
it look likes its only my problem.so whay should I do for this problem ? any solution ?
Oftentimes the radio has a big factor on reception. If you flashed a new firmware package (which you undoubtedly did if you're running ICS now...) then chances are your radio file was overwritten. I would suggest digging through Google to find a radio file optimized for your carrier FOR ICS. You also want to make sure it only has a replacement radio and nothing else tagging along with it, otherwise you may have to reflash your ROM afterwards. Good luck to you!
thanks for reply.
what If I install ICS OTA ROM ? Do I need to reinstall radio ?
next question theres is a ICS untoucked rom in revolution hd forum.Is this rom exactly htcs rom ?
or could you please send me a link of official htc ics rom ?

The Radio comes with a firmware package as opposed to a ROM, so just flashing a ROM won't fix that.
Android Revolution HD is a very nice ROM, if you like the Sense UI and don't want to go for AOSP like OpenSensation/CyanogenMod 9 then ARHD is your best choice. The main difference is it gives you the latest version of everything as well as many tweaks and enhancements for it to run smoother. I don't have any links for plain unmodified HTC update packages.
As for the CID, you want to flash a Radio/Firmware based on the CID you have. The only exception is if you are SuperCID, but you still want to flash the one that matches YOUR carrier. Radios are all different. If you used Orange UK for example and I gave you a Radio for T-Mobile US it wouldn't help at all.
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

Best bet for "stock" JB and keeping the rest?
Hi I'm new with android and this is my first post here, I would like to thank you for your support and if any of you more enlightened guys could help me, this is what I have:
Android version 4.0.3
HTC sense version 4.0
Software number 1.85.502.3 71 ORD
Kernel 3.0.8-01155-gca24d1e [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband ver. 0.17.32.09.12_10.86.32.08L
Build number 1.85.502.3_R2 CL63811 release-keys
Unlocked Bootloader
SuperCID
S-Off
Hboot-1.09.0000
Radio 0.17.32.09.12
The thing is I'm looking for a stock JB which I understand there are only two compatible releases, that being Asian one and Telstra.
That being said, is it possible for me to keep AT&T ICS included keyboards and languages and not to mess with my radio and kernel, just change the OS and remove the remaining carrier crappy software?
I understand I have to make a recovery with TWRP, but then being S-off what would be the best bet to flash the ROM?
Many thanks in advance!

Your radio will stay the same, but the OS will be replaced. You can't keep the old kernel either, as it will be incompatible with JB. I think you are confused about what the OS is. If you upgrade to JB, you can't keep ICS.
Just pick a stock rooted or custom JB ROM from development. Put it on your SD card, and flash it. I don't know what your keyboard and language requirements are, and that may be better asked on the ROM thread (if the ROM has the language & keyboard you need), when you choose one you like.
If you want stock rooted, but minus the bloatware, you might look at CleanROM (or similar custom ROMs that are close to stock) as its very close to stock, just minus the bloat and with some performance optimizations. The Asian and Telstra stock ROMs don't have as much bloat as AT&T, but still have their share of it.

Hi.
Best solution : restore your cwm backup.
But i guess you might not have any...
There aren't any RUU for branded One SV's roms, as far as I know, but let me just ask : why you want to go back to a branded rom ?

Hi
Thanks for the help you
I could have to branded rom But I noticed that there is a general problem this rom!!!! And I came back again to custom rom
My main reason for returning to stock rom or baranded rom:Back to the warranty conditions
thank you..
Ok.
Without a ruu matching your original cid there's no way (that i know of) to go back to a branded factory phone. But I'm pretty sure that if you just reset it to unbranded stock (there's a guide on how to do that somewhere, I'll try and find it if you don't), you won't have a problem with your warranty.
Since your phone'll be back to S-ON, locked bootloader (not relocked), original stock recovery, boot and rom, it'll be the same as a new one.
If yoy want to use your warranty, I'd suggest that, but if you're just worried about having messed with your phone by unbranding, rooting, using custom roms or custom recovery... well stop worrying, you're fine, evreything's ok (as long as you keep following the guides' instructions carefully !).
Just to be sure, is arabic available in the SV stock roms ?
That's what you're missing, right ?
