[Q] Installing SuperXE on HTC Sensation XE with brand

Hi all,
I'm a newbye of HTC modding. I've an HTC Sensation XE with Beats audio branded by TIM (Italian carrier).
It has
PYRAMIN PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT 1.27.000
I've installed the lasted official updates:
Android: 4.0.3
Sense: 3.6
Sw version: 3.32.901.151
Band base: 11.69A.3503.00U_11.23.3504-07_M2
Build number: 3.32.901.151 CL353154
I would like to try SuperXE ROM.
Can anybody tell me what steps to do.. and maybe how?
I tried to find some info on this thread and on google... but not a real guide, so I don't want to brick my phone at first attempp
I.E.
- Have I just to unlock bootloader trough htcdev website or also s-off it via ControlBear and the wire trick?
- Have I to upgrade my firmware at 3.33 or my 3.32 is ok? If yes, how and where I can find it?
- What recovery have I to flash after all from where to flash SuperXE?
- Any other hints?
Thank you very much for your patience

now for the questions
1. you can do it via both HTC-DEV unlock way or SOFF whatever you prefer (differences between them ? -> read the above poast )
2. 3.32 firmware will work completely fine ...no need to change to 3.33 firmware (unless you face reception problems )
3. my preferrence 4EXT (helps in SON + HTCDEV case very well )
4. read the above post ..thoroughly

Thank you for your answer
Just one question left. On the link you wrote me is written:
2. Flashing/installing ROM from custom recovery with HTC-DEV unlock...requires an extra step...and if that extra step is not done ..phone wont boot (literally around 90% threads in Q&A section are about this problem as people didn't knew about the extra step )
But what is this extra step?
In the linked thread they talk about flashing "boot.img" extracted from new custom ROM. Is it correct?
Thank you

Go to the guide with flashing roms with s-on
There you will see extra 1step
But if you have installed 4ext recovery and enable smartflash before flashing the rom then you don't need that step

Hi,
thank you to everybody! I've installed it and it works great! Very fast and reactive. A new life for my Sensation!
There is only a litle bug...
When I try to search manually for mobile networks (gsm/umts) i got an error after 30s of searching. (my home network is connected and working)
Do anybody already noticed it?
Thanks
Umberto.

Yup, I think it's a known bug throughout all 4.1+ jellybean ROMs.

[Q] Update hboot and firmware?

After some extensive searching both in and out of XDA, I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. So if the information has already been posted, please cut me some slack - I did do some leg work first before posting.
I am currently on hboot 1.09 and have s-off, running ViperXL (Sense based ROM). I was wanting to flash some of the new ROMs with the 3.4 kernel which all require 1.14 hboot and 3.18 firmware. While I was looking for instructions I did stumble into some threads where people have bricked their phones flashing the 3.18 firmware updates and etc so that gave me some cause for alarm.
Bottom line...I couldn't find any exact instructions on how to update the firmware and hboot with steps to insure I don't bork my phone. If anyone's got a link or care to help me out I'd appreciate it.

You're s-off so you should be fine. The cases where users have bricked their phones happened they were SuperCID and s-on and ran an RUU, bad idea.
Is your phone an att model? Or Rogers? Or an unlocked Hong Kong version?

And then RUU with the latest RUU for your carrier.
Tim beat me to it.

In that case, you can use this 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.

my bootloader is already unlocked, s-off with TWRP installed. does this mean i can just run the RUU?

gotcha. anything i need to do with SuperUser prior to this? i expect to have a stock recovery after this, but what of bootloader lock status, s-off, root and superCID status afterwards? promise this is the last question. just need 2 be sure so i know if i can root the phone with the same 3.0.1 Evita All-In-One toolit. thanks in advance bro.

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.

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.

[Completed] Arhd 21.0 wifi issues? Help Please!!!!

Hello all my htc one m8 is sim unlocked, bootloader unlocked(htc dev),rooted(twrp/supersu 2.14) and s-off(sunshine) just flashed over arhd 21.0 and now i cannot turn on my wifi. Any help is appreciated thanks !

Hi,
You should read through the ARHD thread, or any rom you ever flash... Cause most popular issues will always be talked about plenty in the last several pages of the thread. ?
And your issue is your firmware. It's needs to be updated to run any 4.4.4 roms on the M8. Since your S-OFF, here's the easiest way to do that,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048
You can ask for help there if needed. Or again, read the last several pages of the rom thread.
Good luck!

First off, thank you KJ for taking it easy on a newbie..and I updated my hboot( 3.16 to 3.18) but my baseband is still the same..can this be the issue seeing how I'm coming from stock 4.4.2 (at&t) ?

And seeing how I have no pc is there a way you or anybody who reads this can send me a link to the latest firmware at&t cws__001 ? Thank you very much

Now I'm stumped. Renamed firmware to 0P6BIMG.zip and said update fail first time incorrect cid second time and it scared the living crap out of Me . Help me please help me please

Flashed back stock 4.4.2 sense until I can get around a pc to get super cid. Probably best this way, but my hboot is still 3.18 and my firmware is 1.58.502.1 Now is this a no-no seeing how the stock hboot was 3.16 ?

It would be best to be asking your questions in the thread I linked.
Or this M8 help thread,

[Completed] [Q] How to I restore my HTC One M8 to pure stock? (Wifi not working!)

*I'm sorry if there is a similar post to this, but all posts I've looked through aren't detailed enough or are extremely out dated. Please direct me to the right place. Thank you so much! <3 *
How do I restore my HTC One M8 to the latest stock everything. (OS, firmware, android version, everything)
I'm not a total newbie in rooting and recoveries, but I just can't seem to find the difference between ROMS and firmware.
Here's what happened:
I was running 4.4.3 rooted on my M8, and then I flashed the MaximusHD ROM (because it had 4.4.4) So I thought, why do the OTA update and then install a ROM when I can just simply install a ROM that already has 4.4.4 installed. What happened then was I lost the ability to turn on wifi, which confused me.
On their post someone wrote that you need to update the firmware or else the wifi wouldn't work. This all got me extremely confused, so I tried to switch on a different ROM to see if the problem would be solved.
I switched over to Android Revolution 21.0, which is what I'm currently stuck on. So I just want to go back to stock HTC firmware and os or whatever it's called.
Here's some info about my device:
HTC One M8, international europe edition, unlocked
Android version: 4.4.4
Software number: 3.28.401.7
I can also add Kernel version, baseband version and build number, but are these necessary?
Thank you to anyone who helps me out with this, I am extremely grateful.

Hi there,
I'd suggest reviewing and having a look at this thread: [GUIDE] Return your European M8 to 100% Stock

Thank you and thread closed!
