Can i flash this thing? - HTC Sensation

Hey guys! My friend recently bought a Sensation XE 2nd hand... It had its. Official firmware of 2.3.5 Gingerbread.. I noticed it was. S-OFF.. But no recovery (got the download and phone icon only when i got there).
The bootloader is LOCKED.
It had its. HBOOT as 1.18.0(something - i dnt remember but 1.18 is confirmed). Yes it was "pyramid".
I wanna know if I can flash roms in it? And if. So. Please answer these:
1. How can i flash the recovery? Seeing its S-OFF and all.. Is there an app to flash? And also the recommended RECOVERY for that purpose.
2. Can i flash ROMs on it after doing the recovery? Since its S-OFFed and all.
3. Also will it run into trouble seeing the Hboot no. Is too old.
4. It's a T-Mobile branded phone so keep that in mind.

Oh ok this seems easy... I'll give it a go and report back... Thanks.. And yeah
I will check the md5 sum

I didn't got my hands on the device just yet. Was wanting to ask that the phone definitely is on the Hboot version 1.18.xxxx... Is it too low of the model number? And flashing a JB ROM after what rzr86 said to a GB phone.. Won't it cause compatibility issues? Please have a minute to reply me

[Q] Cant flash Coindroid rom or any rom !!

Hi All, hopefully i am in the right place.
I have been trying to flash a CoinDroid_V1.5.2 on my Htc Sensation (not a 4g) which is locked to Telstra (Australian telco)
My specs as follows:
Android version: 2.3.4 (ginberbread)
sense: 3.0
Software number: 1.45.841.5
Hboot-S-off: 1.17 (phone is rooted)
cid: 11111111 (i changed the cid using information ive founded on this website)
midG5811000
4EXT Recovery tool installed as well
radio: 10.14.9035.01_m[, tried to flash to radio 11 but the phone kept restaring itself after 5 minutes, so i downgraded it, working fine now.
I have download a file called Android revolution hd super wipe, also the PG58IMG image file, everything that you might think off, but still does not work
I have tried to install the coindroid from the 4EXT utility program, selected coindroid 1.5.2 and started to flash, everything fine so far, but when it finishes i restart the phone and does not load up the rom, it keeps rebooting itself everytime, i have also tried using a different rom called Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.6.4_XE and the screen gets stuck on the beats audio, does not go further than that.
Phone is rooted, s-off working, clockwordmod, 4EXT utility loads up as well...
I dont know what i am doing wrong here, can someone help me out here?
I have also tried doing this method in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107
Which basically unlocks your phone, tried it and the phone was unlocked but all my apps and configuration was gone, so went back to the s-off to restore(which did not load the 4ext) and tried to restore my stock rom from s-off, hoping that i can still use it with the phone unlocked. Did not worked at all. It was a miracle that after trying to install the coindroid and failed again, the 4ext when back alive again and i was able to restore the stock rom which works.
Can someone tell me please, what i have done wrong?? i have followed all the necessary steps and yet cant flash any rom
Thanks to all for helping the new newbie
Hi,
Regarding CoinDroid, most links are broken.
Re-download and verify md5 sum.
Alternatively try OrDroid.
Same developer and as I see almost the same rom.
And update hboot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656867
You didn't follow all necessary steps. You gotta flash 3.3x.xxx.x firmware for ics. Your 1.45.xxx.x firmware you have now is for gb. That's why it wont boot.

This could be also my problem, however my phone boots fine.
Unfortunately I have no idea where to verify the firmware version. Could you please advise?
Settings/about phone/software information/software number. Ics roms will have 3.xx.xxx.xx software number and gb will have 1.xx.xxx.xx. 3rd post down in sensation general forum will have all the info about firmware that you need. You gotta flash firmware that matches the rom you want. You just download it and flash it before you flash the rom.
For me that's OrDroid 6.0.0...
thank you

Also, if a flashed the firmware to ics, can i still be using the normal stock or i have to flash it as well?
According to your first post your cid is 11111111 (supercid). You should be able to use any one of the 3.32 firmware. Your rom has to match the firmware.
yes, it's 11111111

Yes, i downloaded an app called CID GETTER, before i flashed, it said that my cid was TELST001, but now shows 11111111.
My stock rom wont work if i flashed the new Firmware, because it gingerbread and not Ice cream sandwich? Is that correct? Sorry for repeating myself, i just want to get it right.
Regarding the CoinDroid_V1.5.2 or the Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.6.4_XE, they all shall work once i flashed the new firmware because booth are ICS, right?
Thanks mate, i am actually downloading this Firware: cidnum: TELST001
from the website you gave me.
What you reckon?
Ps: Should i update the radio too? or the new rom will update it for me?? This is getting annoying!
Ps1: Once i download the file(firmware) should i flash it trough clockwork recovery or EXT4 ? I am not sure about that.
Thanks for all the helpers out there.

Flashing Firmware Updates both the bootloader/hboot and radio too.. So you need not worry about radio and all
After you flash this firmware tou can't run your current gb rom. As it's not compatible.. And only ics rom runs.. So after flashing the firmware flash the coindroid/ordroid rom and then you are good to go
Now regarding firmware flashing.. It will be PG58IMG file.. so the method of flashing will be different.. Please for instructions/steps on how to flash the firmware please check in the thread from where you downloaded. The steps are given there

Thank you so much, it's all clear now.
I have to flash the firmware (anyone in my case due that my sensation is supercid) Using S-off
Flash then the superwipe for the sensation
Flash the Rom that you like
And that's my problem come, i dont know which rom to start with
I have narrowed my search to this 3:
Coindroid v 1.5.2 ( I read that it's quite a good one)
Ordroid v 5.02 (I have not seen any videos on youtube with the looks of it)
Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.6.4_XE (A good choice as well)
From this 3 roms, which is the latest one? And which one is the one that will work out of the box without you trying to fix either the wifi or something like that
Thanks to all for their responses.
Coindroid and ordroid are same.. I mean coindroid became ordroid.. So ordroid is like an update to coindroid.. And basically these are sense 4 ported rom's.. So they are bound to have some issues.. I heard hot spot and Bluetooth are not working properly.. In OP of the thread the bugs are mentioned... So if you want to try sense 4 go for that
The other one ARHD is pretty stable... This comes under your out of box scenario also INSERT COIN comes under this case...
I'm using IC now and I'm pretty happy with it
Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
So you're running clockwork mod recovery while using the 4ext recovery utility? Before updating use the.utility to flash 4ext recovery, if you flash ordroid there is already the option to superwipe built in when flashing. Be sure to flash 4ext

How to superwipe & root to Install ARHD ROM for Hboot 1.27?

Hello Guys
I want to flash The Android Revolution HD custon ROM.. I read this thread and also this one I fully understand, but just some points are not clear, I desperately need your guidance
The points that I didn't understand are:
- How to SuperWipe! I searched the forums, I know I hv to put Mike's script in root of sdcard.. boot at recovery.. when I choose recovery (after holding volume- + power key) It only shows a draw of a mobile with red exclamation mark! should I hv flashed recovery first? I never flashed anything.. I only unlocked my phone at htcdev.com and my sensation has S-ON and Hboot 1.27. With upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and 3.32.163.12 firmware.
- What is the best recovery that would help me do superwipe? And how to flash this recovery?
So when I successfully superwipe I should install a stock ROM Then root it again ( as auggie2k explained)
I know how to install a ROM but I Don't know how to root!
So many questions I know! sorry but I'm new at those things..
1. This really should have gone in Q&A section
2. Best recovery is probably 4EXT.
3. Because you are S-ON, you need to follow the installing ROMs with S-ON guide (another reason to use 4EXT recovery is because of smartflash feature which makes flashing a ROM with S-ON much simpler).
4. I would recommend S-OFFing anyway because it means you can upgrade firmware and get supercid as well as others, look at the guides for juopunutbear S-OFF for more info on this

Thanks guys for your guidnance.. I was just confused coz there are too much threads there that i read! anyway It was really easy though! Also this thread helped me to Boot into 4ext Recovery from PC without installation:fingers-crossed: which allowed me to wipe, root and install Stock ROM then doing S-OFF which was successful after following http://unlimited.io/'s JuopunutBear method. Now that I installed 4-EXT with your help guys, I'm downloading ARHD ROM in order to flash it with 3.33.401.x firmware

which stable ICS rom

Hi guys,
After a lot of effort i managed to:
unlock bootloader
install CW 5
root the device
Now i need a reccomendation for an ICS or JB rom.
I need everything completely stable, that is highest priority, and after that comes the speed.
Please advise also about which kernel if i do need to change it?
I'm currently on GB.
I want to upgrade only with install zip from sd card if possible, from CW5 or whichever.
THANKS!
If you want an ics rom you will have to update your firmware to ics firmware which is 3.33 or 3.32.I believe you must be s off in order to do this. If your on gb right now to load any ics rom firmware must be updated.then once your ready I recommend to try out several roms for yourself and see which meets your needs best. Depending on your Rom, different kernels can be tired with the different roms. I'm running paranoid Android by Dragun Korr, it's jelly bean. My kernel is 3.0 51 by Dragun. I really love this rom. It's smooth fast and stable. However I suggest you try out several because everyone is different and has different opinions. It's always best to try for yourself and make your own conclusion. Hope this is helpful. Best wishes. Remember to do your nandroid backup before flashing so you can return to your old rom if need be. As long as firmware matches.
Have fun and experiment. I also recommend 4ext recovery. Some roms require it. And it's really a great recovery!

can you please tell me how to upgrade to firmware 3.3? can i do it now while i'm still on GB?

switch off your device
remove battery
insert it again
then hold power button and volume down together until it shows you the bootloader screen
in the top of the screen it will say S-OFF
now to upgrade firmware just follow the instructions in the link that i provided you
at the top it says PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
i went into recovery again and tried with the 3.32 as suggested and again, installation aborted, what am i doing wrong?
by the way, i really appreciate the support, it's a lot easier with this kind of help, and i work as a support member for other stuff so i know how it is..

that is your mistake.see the bold one as marked
upgrading the firmware version it can be done only via bootloader
it is not like roms or kernels.
see again the steps in the link on how to upgrade the firmware.you missed something
and yes you are S-OFF
yeah, it should find the new zip automatically, the problem is that i didn't get that
but you are correct, i tried again and now it worked!
installing new ROM now, finally
hopefully that will go without problems
thanks again
Hi also 4ext recovery is recommended. You can get download on xda or play store. It's really a great recovery and almost all use it. Its very easy to use and I believe some roms require it. You can download after installation of rom. If you have issues with download try 4ext. You won't be sorry. It's a great recovery

thanks,
yes i've been using it since the first guy responded i should try 4ext
not bad, i admit
Hi there.
I strongly suggest Android Revolution HD. I've been using it now for almost 2 weeks and its rock solid.
Its very smooth with decent battery life and you get some sick mods for it!
There is a link to the ROM in my signature.

[Q] Stock HBoot to replace JB HBoot

Hello all,
So finally, I have managed to S-OFF my phone using JuonoputBear (I never get this spelling right!). Downloaded the latest version for Ubuntu and can't believe I only did the wire trick once and it was done.
But anynow, to my surprise, the JB tool went on installing the JB hboot itself. Initially I thought it would ask me to install it or not and I would refuse it but... it didn't even give me the option. So now I am stuck with the JB hboot which I dont want.
So the questions is, is there any way I can revert back to the stock hboot?
Thanks guys, all your help made it possible for me to S-OFF my phone.
Regards
just to know that with patched hboot you are fully unlocked and you can use all fastboot commands
i don't find a reason to return to official hboot

Thanks for the reply. The reason I wanted to go back to stock hboot was that its highly unlikely that I would be using those extra fastboot commands. Besides, I dont like the Juoponutbear logo on top of the hboot.
Also, now that I am S-OFF, I am kind of gone sensitive to installing any ROM. I intend to install Android Revolution HD ROM but I dont want to flash anything wrong on my device like Radio etc. I only want to flash whats need to run that new custom ROM. I guess that doesn't include the kernel as I already have ICS stock ROM.
Can anyone point me to the right direction? Where I can find the steps to install custom ROM without any risk of flashing something wrong?
Thanks.

Hi,
There is no way you can "Accidently" install a radio.
You are not in bootloader for any length of time normally,so ,it should not matter what is written at the top.
That is just the way Juoponutbear operates and leaves it's mark.
It is the only way to s-off for you,so ,you are stuck with it.
Unless you s-on again.
As for flashing ROMS,put it on the root of your sd card,choose zip,install zip.
That's it.
EDIT:
Someone correct me if I am wrong.
If you flash Kohr-Ah's Universal 3.33 firmware,does it say Universal at the top?

Is that all? I thought that once you have flashed the zip package, you have to extract the "boot.img" from that zip package of the ROM and flash it separately?

Sorry I had to come back on this one. I was checking the Android Rev. HD thread and in the download section it said it is necessary to flash new firmware package before flashing this ROM/ And the firmware package also contains radio flashing.
Since I am on Stock ICS at the moment and my firmware is 3.32. Do I still need to flash my firmware?

since you are on S-OFF there is no point to unlock the bootloader
you can flash the 3.33 firmware from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
it will give you also a patched hboot which is unlocked
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
BUT
if you ever decided to return to S-ON first you have to flash a ruu.exe to return to stock
then make sure that you will have the official hboot
if you have the official then return to S-ON
Thanks for reply!
I was thinking about unlocking BL because i don't have warranty already (old device , but i think this
"since you are on S-OFF there is no point to unlock the bootloader" is all i needed to know
I am soff but not rooted.. What do I need to do now to flash a custom rom? And I do not have a custom recovery. I had a custom recovery but it I went back to stock in lost it.

that's why i told you to flash 3.33 universal firmware first
you are still on gingerbread firmware
if you flash 3.33 the rom will boot
i remind you:
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums
