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.

Hello! , I'd love someone to help explain to me why i gotta update my HBOOT to use JellyBean ROMS on my OneXL?!?!
I have an Evita on 1.14 I rooted when i had 4.0.4 with SuperCID. And now people are telling me i need to
Update my HBOOT and my CID since it's superCID i cannot install Sense roms because it's somehow allocated to a CID so it
won't support 1111111111. And the Update HBOOT Method only works for international not evita.
I mean, explain please? i honestly don't feel like updating HBOOT to run a rom.

You're getting advice for the Tegra 3 quad-core/endeavour One X. None of that applies to this phone.
Yeah that's what i meant when i saw the HBOOT update "Endeavoru update only" and i have an evita. I'm going to go give it a try.

I apparently need to update my phone to 3.18 to install H8rift's CM10.1, but After running the RUU installer, I got an error 159.
Isn't there a way I can update my hboot through the Android SDK?

It's not just the hboot that needs updating the idea other things in the RUU as well. Which RUU did you try running?

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

Having trouble with stability and features when running some of the newer AOSP roms. e.g. when running Carbon AOSP, having trouble with data connection, torch, and reboots. Devs feel my older hboot is the culprit, as that is the only difference they are seeing in my device.

But I am afraid of making it brick but the S-OFF CID 11111
I can? or not?
Or I have to return it to S-ON
Is which the correct way??
You'll be fine, it only bricks when you have SuperCID + s-on. Your current configuration (SuperCID + s-off) is fine.

Thank you, I am more reassured
You or someone I could confirm if the version
is 3.18 best for my phone? or they have any better?
The 3.18 RUU is the latest at&t RUU that has been released. It will update your hboot to 2.14, which is good because if you plan on running any recent aosp ROM you need that hboot. If you plan on staying stock though you'll have JB 4.1 running.

Timmaaa,
If I've upgraded the firmware and flashed Turge's 4.2.2 sense ROM, do you think it's safe to RUU back to stock?
The combination of the new ROM, the new firmware, and Beastmode kernel seem to produce bad behaviors like going to airplane mode during calls and random shutdowns.
Thanks,
Dan

I haven't seen anyone report running an RUU while on the latest firmware, but if you're s-off you should be safe to do so. Please note I'm saying you SHOULD be safe, this is not a guarantee as I haven't tested it, but I'd assume that the theory is sound.

If you've upgraded your firmware you might not necessarily need to use the Beastmode kernel, you could try dirty flashing the ROM. This will in effect just replace Beastmode with the stock kernel.
