Okay, so Im trying to update to the latest ARHD, downloaded the firmware, threw it on the SDcard, checked the md5sum, I supercid 1111111'd when I rooted my phone originally, I installed the latest firmware, everything went OK, then I hit power to reboot the phone and now I'm stuck in a bootloop.
Just an update: I can get into bootloader and I can get to recovery, so I'm not bricked, but I am still bootlooped

how to determine installed firmware version
Hi,
I was planning to upgrade to an ICS4 rom and i was referred to updating the firmware.
Determining CID and MID is no issue.
I however can't find the "firmware version" and thus make a choice for which of the zips to download and install. I read the instructions and did my share of searching and i a'm stuck.

Thanks, I also wondered about that
Could the OP not fix it in first post, to avoid confusions

- Boot loop is either you did not install the Custom Rom after the Firmware ( the phone searches for ICS Rom to boot and didn't find it , so it restarts again ) , or the PG58IMG.zip is detected during Boot
- first remove PG58IMG.zip from SD card
- then go to recovery and super wipe and install the ICS Custom Rom
- not all ICS require the same firmware , Firmware usually matches the Base ( the RUU which is used as a base to build the custom rom ) , and it is always mentioned in Rom Features
- each developer states the version of the required firmware with a link to it ( you can press the link and see the name of the download for version ) , ARHD 6.4 and 6.5 require firmware 3.32 ,

Fixing now!
Which firmware do I need to download and use? Can I use any one of them.
My CID is 11111111
and MID is PG5810000
.... might be a stupid question.
You can use any of them.

Firmware you flashed is from sensation xe. Try reflashing the rom.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus
I did as you said. I reflashed the Rom, but still no WiFi.

- you are S-OFF with revolutionary , and you flashed Mike firmware 3.32
- this firmware ( Mike Firmware ) includes unlocked hboot 1.27 ( no matter what it says on screen ) , this means it can preform fastboot write commands
- Revolutionary S-OFF devices should not use htc dev , htc dev is for members who prefer not to use revolutionary and use htc dev instead
ah got it. (i cant remember exactly what i did for unlocking ). first i soff the device from revolutionary and run the htc supertool to root the device (ran the all processes) then in my boot loader get showing that *unlocked*

234This thread's content might brick your device.
This is not a ROM thread, so I'm not going to answer again and again and again the same questions over and over and over again.
You can't read - quit this thread now. You can read but you can't understand more or less simple things - quit as well.
You can read and you understand things, but you are too lazy to read the whole thread before asking the question - watch this first. And quit.
I compared the content of HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE RUU's.
Some conclusions based on users feedback after flashing Sensation XE RUU:
1. It definitely doesn't brick the device. If you have Super-CID, it can be flashed even on regular Sensation (PG5813000).
2. It seems that most of those, who flashed it can tell that their device is now noticeable faster.
3. It doesn't bring S-ON to your device.
4. "fastboot flash <partition name> <file name.img>" doesn't work with new 1.20 hboot. But it's not really a problem, because most users doesn't use fastboot.
Other conclusions:
1. adsp.img is the same in all HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE RUUs. So it's irrelevant to us.
2. pg2fs_spcustom.img is the same in all HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE RUUs. So it's irrelevant to us. This image wasn't in RUUs since the beginning. It came out first in 1.45.401.2 RUU.
3. splash1.nb0 is the same in all HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE RUUs. So it's irrelevant to us. It's just a splash screen anyway.
4. dzdata_4g.hdr and dzdata_4g.img came out first in 3.06.401.1/101 RUU. Before it was just one image - dzdata.img.
5. rcdata.img is the same in all HTC Sensation and HTC Sensation XE RUUs. But it's different for HTC Sensation 4G U.S. T-Mobile and it contains some additional settings. It contains radio settings.
6. radio.img and rcdata.img are radio related. Should affect better connectivity quality, but should not affect overall performance in any way.
7. hboot_8x60_1.20.0000_20111215_signedbyaa.nb0, sbl1.img, sbl2.img, sbl3.img and tz.img are all (probably) bootloader related. It should not affect overall performance (probably).
8. The only left is rpm.img which probably is relevant to us (as rmk40 also stated). But it doesn't mean it can be flashed just as a single image. Probably it has to be flashed with other
images like radio or bootloader related to avoid risk of bricking the device.
9. Because new images came out in new RUUs (dzdata_4g.hdr and dzdata_4G.img replaced dzdata.img) it's very possible that we need to flash new bootloader as well.
10. ramdisk.img came out first in 3.06.401.1/101 RUU. It has the same content as ramdisk in boot.img and I have no idea why HTC made is as additional image (maybe even allocated partition for that?).
11. dzdata_4G images are different in Sensation and Sensation XE RUU. Is it because Sensation XE supports less CID locations?
12. Flashing dzdata_4g.hdr and dzdata_4g.img removes the content of userdata partition. In bootloader it's market as "userdata" file so it's probably not radio related.
13. dzdata_4G.img contains QUALCOMM Logging tools (LOCAL_CFLAGS += -DFEATURE_DATA_LOG_SYSLOG #LOCAL_CFLAGS += -DFEATURE_DATA_LOG_ADB LOCAL_CFLAGS += -DFEATURE_DATA_LOG_QXDM) so it's irrelevant to us.

Why it's better then full RUU:
1. It doesn't contain stock recovery
2. It doesn't contain stock, non rooted system
3. It doesn't contain secured boot.img
4. It wont wipe your data partition
5. It's much smaller

I did some research myself, but I also used info from here and here
Please post here your findings, thoughts or experience with after flashing images listed above.30Quick update:
Since losing the unlocked bootloader itself is a Bad Thing [tm] (and I wanted to flash the 3.24 ROM) I patched up HBOOT 1.27.0000.
Packaged it up nicely with the 3.24 firmware:
3.24 PG58IMG zip with Revolutionary-patched HBOOT.
