Firmware for Cellular radio reception FIX
Warning
Flash at your own risk!
Check MD5 checksum before flashing!
To revert back, flash your RUU.
Introduction
I have two HTC Sensations, I found that one has a lot better reception than the other one.
The one that had better reception, I flashed a Sense 3.5 RUU beforehand.
The other one that had not so good reception, I had flashed a Sense 3.6 RUU beforehand.
Both had the 3.33 universal firmware from @Kohr-Ah installed.
I compared the firmwares from 3.33 and 3.12, I found that 3.12 has pg2fs_spcustom.img and 3.33 doesn't, I think @mike1986. removed it.
My conclusion is, pg2fs_spcustom.img must be different.
From what I know, pg2fs_spcustom.img has encrypted radio related code.
So I have repackaged the universal 3.33 firmware to include pg2fs_spcustom.img
Summary
After flashing this firmware on my HTC sensation with the one with poorer reception, I found that reception is now far better and faster to connect and switch between towers.
My results may differ from yours but I'm sharing this as it may be a solution for some.
Installation
Place PG58IMG.zip in the root directory of your sdcard.
Check the MD5 checksum is correct = [HIGHLIGHT]3abc6ae08031d3dd4c1820d2c2046c1a[/HIGHLIGHT]
Reboot device into bootloader and confirm flash.
Note:
- Remove PG58IMG.zip from root of sdcard afterwards.
- Wipe cache in recovery afterwards, if device bootloops.
Thanks
@Kohr-Ah for Universal 3.33 Firmware
@rmk40 for 3.12 Firmware
@mike1986. for Firmware Images

Hello hinxnz, you said you include this pg2fs_spcustom.img file, but there is another file also rcdata.img you put in the universal 3.33 firmware package. what is the purpose of that file. thanks

Hello hinxnz, you are right i check and rcdata.img is include, but this file pg2fs_spcustom.img i didn't find in universal 3.33 firmware package. what is the purpose for this file then. thanks
Flashing this on mine results in CarbonROM not booting up anymore (gets stuck at the boot animation). Does it need a clean flash?
Update: flashing the Italian RUU and wiping cache+dalvik makes the phone boot again normally.
Before flashing one should make a Backup because device won't boot.
After flashing firnware, remove sd card, boot into recovery, insert sd card while booting recovery.
In recovery first wipe all except sd card.
Then restore backup and reboot.

It contains radio operation code.
It has been quite a while since I looked at these packaged but I believe newer packages no longer included it therefore there was no reason to remove it.

Clean flash not needed but sometimes cache needs to be formatted in recovery afterwards. In my case, it was not needed.
I'd make sure /cache is formatted as ext4 before flashing firmware too.
Also you don't lose any user data by formatting cache.
I think wiping cache and dalvik cache will solve the bootloop.

Formatting cache+dalvik after flashing makes it work, indeed. Thanks! I'd mention it in the first post, if I were you, it's kinda counterintuitive.
did not feel the difference.

Do you have 10MB cash size? If yes best way to flash radio is via cable and SDK (I've done it that way).
On alpharev.nl is written "If you downloaded Bravo Data++, please notice the /cache partition is too small to hold Radio flashes from recovery. You can however flash the radio just fine with 'fastboot flash radio radio.img'. Just extract the radio.img from the radio update.zip beforehand.
You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC."
Of course if you have Oxygen Hboot you have 10MB cash too.

Hey, I have a Sensation 4g, I was running ARHD version 3, on 2.3.4 android, I installed that around febraury.
Now I wanted to install the latest Android Revolution HD 6.7.0, I did everything as the list suggested I update the firmware( PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1100). But when I install the rom everything goes as normal except that when I reboot in never boots into the rom, I have leave it over 20 mins, and nothing happens, I have tried several times, and I tried to restore back to version 3, everything seems "Restored" except it won't pass from htc logo again (I think it's because I have an updated firmware)
So, how do I manage to install the lasted arhd , or how do I do to downgrade the firmware in order to have it working again, I would prefer to have ICS, but I can't manage to do it, Please help, as my phone is unusable now.
thanks

Nice detailed description of what exactly is going on, we need more people like you on sensation forum (no i'm not being sarcastic, I'm just glad you have given clear, detailed description instead of crap like I read in other posts "help my phone wont boot" and no other details - sorry, rant over )
By the looks of it, I'm guessing you didnt super wipe when upgrading to lastest ROM version? when coming from GB ROM to ICS you need to do a full/super wipe otherwise phone wont boot.

I remember seeing the exact issue when installing ARHD 6.6.3 for the first time. What I did is just updated the firmware and tried booting to the old stock rom. So this seems to be due to an unmatched firmware. Is that 3.33 firmware u used?

hey, thanks. I did updated the firmware as it stated on the guide, and that would make my firmware unlocked, I was on 2.32. I don't know if that's you're referring with the updating firmware, if there is another way that I can try let me know.
Also, would you suggest that trying to install other rome would solve this?
thanks
reflash the firmware again ..then 4EXT -> format all partitions except sdcard then flash the ROM again

ohh you are still stuck ..and somehow ive missed it ( i forgot to subscribe to this thread :silly
ok
shall we go by step by step ?
1.can you post the bootloader details (complete stuff present in the bootloader ...a screen shot of it would do too )
2.if you can use adb/fastboot ..and have them installed already
can you please connect the phone in fastboot/bootloader to pc (phone reads "fastboot usb" after that )
then post the complete output of this below command
(except IMEI and serial number)
fastboot getvar all
3. check the md5 of the ARHD rom you have downloaded ...and verify it against the one given in the thread ...just below the download button it will be there (in general)
(md5sum can be done via 4EXT recover itself ... 4EXT -> install from sdcrad -> calculate/check md5)

Hello
Phone: Sensation XE, 4.0.3 Android, 3.6 UI, Stock ROM, Locked (unROOTed)
So, I'm having a problem with my UI in HTC - it stops working very often. Usually when I'm unplugging the USB cable or changing the mode to Charge only.
I can root the phone and install custom ROM but I don't want to lose all the files [or if you guys can give me some program to back up my stuff, so I could put it on my PC]. Everything is ready to do it (the chinese program to root the phone and the vipers custom ROM is already on my SD card [dont even know if i will lose it after rooting).
But will it help to fix the problem? Because I was thinking that if the UI stops working, so maybe I have to install new one (4.1 included in Vipers ROM, i guess).
And by the way, can you tell me when I would loose the files? (wile rooting or installing the ROM?)
Cheers, Michael.
if you follow the S-OFF procedure backup all your contents from your sdcard to the pc
when you root after S-OFF you sdcard will be untouched
also when you flash the rom will be again untouched

when you do S-OFF you unlock all device's partitions
then you can root and flash a custom recovery
see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
by the way how were you going to root it?
The program is called ZhuoDaShi. I accidentally uninstalled the program, because everything is in chinese LOL! I thought I'm launching the program.
But do you think i should download this program again or I shouldn't be bothered and pick different one? (Maybe you could give it)
About the S-OFF, will my 32GB SD card be ok with it?

Hi there again.
I've got a problem with rooting the phone.
So, my phone is S-OFF (it says in hboot) and its locked.
My problem is that I can't unlock it. I have downloaded super user (su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip) and i installed it through hboot/recovery and it installed everything, but i still dont have root rights and in hboot menu it says S-OFF ... LOCKED
Have I done something wrong?

do this
put the firmware zip into the root of your sdcard
then from your device use any file manager you have and navigate to that zip
press and hold in that zip until it pops up a menu
go to properties and select calculate md5 checksum or something like that
then see if it matches with the one from firmware's thread

my steps of which files I should install now are;

2. flash 3.33 - same link
3. another link with super user after installing the files before ?
ok I checked the md5 for flash 3.33 on my phone - its the same as given on the forum

hi, mate sorry for the late
so if you say that md5 sums are matching then:
flash 3.33 firmware.it will take care too for the patched hboot
after that flash the superuser zip from recovery
done
No worrys. Thanks.
I'm just changing to other sd - I have all root files needed on it.
Tell me, why do I need to flash those 2 files (3.33 and su-update) if I already made the root?
But there's one more question bothering me; how can md5 be different on other devices IF its still the same file?
And how should I know if my md5 is different if other users don't give md5 to their files?
I think it was the last question.
Many thanks and best wishes

the 3.33fw gives you also patced hboot as i said
that means you can perform fastboot commands(with locked bootloader you can't)
if you are already rooted then don't use the su zip
1)i don't know.the only thing i know is if you modify a zip file then the md5 is changing too
2)especially in firmware thread it will always give md5 sums for matching because if it is different(bad download or corrypted file)
the device will probably bricked
now if you have installed a recovery try to flash a custom rom
all custom roms comes already rooted
Ok. In hboot it says firmware 3.33
But I still don't have root rights.
What I should do now is install the:
1. Su update (that you gave me) - through; hboot, racovery, install zip files
And if I will have root rights
2. Install custom rom - the same way as step one
AND ALL OF IT WITHOUT CLEARING SD CARD AND MOBILE?

follow these steps for flashing rom
1)backup your current rom just in case(nandroid backup)
2)format all partitions except sdcard
3)flash the rom
done
by the way what recovery did you install?

I flashed the su and after it - I could give root permission for applications.
I installed CynaogenMod 10.1 and I dont like it, because a bit of stuff does not work.
Now Im waiting untill DarkSense will be downloaded.
Im using CWM that came with Rom Menager.
By the way, do you know whats the best solution to keep all my contacts and apps for every rom? (i know that i should restore my old rom and than use the solution [that i wish u would give me], but its still worth it)
And what kernel would u pick to save as much battery as possible?

for your contacts you can use mobile backup 2.it is free in google play store
most users are using titanium backup for apps when they are switching roms.me personally i have never used it
about kernel it depends from your personal usage and what settings will you do(overclock,UV etc)
so long i am using sebastianFM's kernel.i am happy with it
ive unlocked my phone but it shoe no signal
when i go to the setting to it wont let me search for the network
.will this radio fix things ,if not what will
You can try flashing a radio, but you need to be s-off. Go to kohr-ah's firmware thread and flash 3.33 universal firmware after you are s-off.

Yes, It will change your firmware. Make nandroid backup first, and restore after you flash firmware 3.33. Also don't forget to delete that firmware file after you flash the firmware.
It won't delete or change any files or data on your phone.

If you are using CM10.1, which I'm guessing that you are, then your problem with the network search is not radio related. It's a known bug in CM10.1
The network search feature doesn't work. To my knowledge it doesn't work on any CM10.1 ROM for any device (I reserve the right to be wrong about that though)
You aren't doing anything wrong. There is nothing you can change to fix it. It has to be fixed in the CM source code.
If you are using CM9 please say so and we'll figure that out.
As for not getting any signal at all though, that may or may not be a different issue entirely. If CM 9 or 10.1 is booting for you (and if you are looking at the settings for it, then you are obviously booting) then you already have the updated firmware as both ROMs will only run on 3.32 or 3.33.
What country are you in and what network on your on?
Also, do you get no signal at all anywhere you go? Or is it just no signal at your house or something?
And if you switch to any other ICS or JB ROM do you get a signal? That's important. If you do then we can rule out a firmware, radio, or hardware issue.

There is no need to restore a nandroid after flsahing Kohr - Ah's firmware packages. They do not replace the ROM.
However, flashing new firmware can screw with the ROM and send it into bootloops. But wiping cache and dalvik from recovery will fix that, if it even happens.
Could he just flash the radio.img by itself by extracting the radio image from the firmware?

Only if he repackaged it into a new PM58IMG.zip file. But there's no need for all that since Stempox has already done it.
See this post.

All the Sensastion radios already packaged into flashable PM58IMG.zip's without the rest of the firmware packages.

put the pg58img.zip in the root of the sdcard
then boot into bootloader
it will search for that zip and recognize it
it will ask you to do the update
but wait for Skipjacks to confirm it
i don't know much about radio/rils(i said the above because these are the steps that requires when you are flashing firmware)

You don't need me. You are right!
But, check the md5 sum first after you download the pm58img.zip file. Check it against the on listed under the download link in Stempox's thread. If they don't match delete the file you downloaded and do not proceed.

Good day Friends of the Forum
I have a problem and do not know how to fix it , I have navigate a lot in the network and I could not get my phone to work . I have HTC One X from AT&T. By playing around with the phone, accidentaly I delete the O.S. so right now my phone is locked . I can't load Origanal or Custom ROMS . The only thing I can do is enter the bootloader and install recovery ( TWRP ) I installed several versions of TWRP to install a custom rom or I locked the bootloader to install the original RUU and everything has been WITHOUT SUCCESS .
Right now I have S -ON , my HBOOT is 2.14 and I can install TWRP Recovery 2.6.0.0 or 2.6.3.0 .
I have read in many places that I have to make an S -OFF to install a Custom ROM , but all I get Tips that I need an OS runing to finish the installation (or modified to do the S -OFF) . What can I do if my S.O. is actuall blocked (brick). Only screen I got when I turned on or reboot my is the white screen " HTC quietly brillant" .
My friends , I request help from the wise in this range. Since I ran out of ideas . I attached pictures with my phone information
regards
You are not bricked (or "blocked", whatever that means). A brick means the device cannot be recovered without opening the device (replacing mainboard, JTAG, etc.). If the screen comes on, its not bricked.
Just use your unlock token to unlock the bootloader again. TWRP and custom ROMs won't install if the bootloader is relocked. The unlock token will sometimes take several (or even many) tries to work. So if you tried already, and it didn't work, just keep trying.
Also, if you are SuperCID (which was required to get bootloader unlock on the AT&T version) and S-on (which you are) DO NOT RUN the 3.18 RUU. If you do so, you will brick the device for real (only recoverable by JTAG).
My advice would be re-unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, install the custom ROM of your choice, and then achieve S-off.
Also, I find this situation comes up far too often ("I wiped the OS and I don't know what to do"). Don't wipe things (like the OS) if you don't know what the result is going to be. And if you had made a nandroid before messing with things, you could have just restored. Seems there are just far too many n00bs getting into this hobby without exercising any basic common sense.
Thank you so much for your advice.
I just re-Unlock my phone.
Would you please help me with one issue? When I try to install a custom rom via TWRP 2.6.0.0 it says checking for MD5 file. No MD5 file found.
and the phone start restarting and restarting...
How MD5 file works or whats the the function of this file?

MD5 is a checksum file (verifies the integrity of the download). But this shouldn't be happening in TWRP. Try the default wipe option in TWRP (factory reset, cache and Dalvik) and try again.

I have a problem when I try to install custom rom ViperXL_4.2.0.zip
When I try to install, the rom send me to a wizard, I follow the steps of the wizard and the star installing the rom, when the installation percent reach 7 % the phone restarts and send me the HTC quitly brillant screen.
Do you think that I need re-lock the bootloader and then re-unlock the bootloader??
thanks
No, do not relock the bootloader, that isn't the problem. I'm not trying to sound harsh, but why are you attempting to install custom ROMs? You lack a basic understanding of what you're doing, this is very dangerous. I seriously suggest that once you get the phone up and running again you stop modifying it and take the time to do some research and learn about what you're doing. You should always know what you're doing before you do it. Not knowing what you're doing leads to situations like this where you have idea how to recover, or even to a bricked device.
Did you manually check the md5 of the ROM zip after downloading it? The file might be corrupt, thus causing the installer to fail.

No, I don't think relocking is going to help at all.
Try downloading the ROM again.

Thanks verry much for your advice, now I am living the consequences for start playing with my device without knowledge. I promise when this nightmare ends, I am going to do a deep research for installing custom roms and how to make backups before playing.
This problem happens with all roms that I try to install?? In your experience how do I make a good MD5 manually check .
Regards
The md5 sum will be listed on the download page of the ROM, you need to use an md5 checking program/app to make sure the md5 of the downloaded file matches the one listed on the download page. To make this easier to understand, an md5 is like a fingerprint of the file made up of a series of letters and numerals. If the md5 of the file matches the one listed on the site you know the file is exactly as it should be. If it doesn't match then you know the file has been corrupted during the download.

I attached images, please see it. First One is loading the clean ROM and Secon One is when finish installing ROM.

I´m Sorry, I din't check the md5, do you think the problem resides in the md5 file?? I already try with 12 custom and 1 clean rom for the AT&T HTC One X, that's why I didn´t check the md5 file, because I thought that one of all the roms, one of them is going to be the correct one. In some cases there is no md5 file for downloading.
Best regards
