This is a shame as it seems, at the moment, there is no easy/fast way to switch between ICS and GB ROMs

Is new HBOOT really necessary
Can someone confirm is it really necessary to flash new HBOOT versions (1.20 and later) for ICS to work? ADSP, kernel and radio related stuff are obviously needed but hboot..., really?
I've seen that some folks flashed old hboot versions (like 1.17 eng hboot) and ICS worked anyway.
SO, the real question is why in such case new hboot is present in ICS firmware? A lot of people after flashing new ICS-required firmware went nuts with problems like *LOCKED* and S-ON cases and even brick. Also fastboot commands are lost.

I'm sorry if I'm posting something that has already been answered, the flurry of posts are hard to keep up with.
I flashed the 3.24 firmware in hopes that a new rom would be ready, but it left my phone non functional. I would like to know if I can flash 3.12 over 3.24 without really screwing something up.
Any help would be GREAT!

I hope the actual mods will work with the new base, it's a pain in the a** to rebuild mods every weeks,specially with the actual apktool
yup, i had the same problem( the phone starts an infinte startup loop) so i just flashed the old 3.12 firmware over 3.24 and everything works great now...(without loosing anything)
Hboot 1.23 is required for the first 4.0.3 leak, many people have tried to boot the first leak of 4.0.3 rom on older Hboot, and were greeted with continual boot loops. On the 4.0.1 leaks, there were no such requirements. But with Hboot 1.2x and above you'll lose advanced fastboot commands, such as flashing .img files because the new ones haven't been hacked to get advanced flashing commands back.Can someone confirm is it really necessary to flash new HBOOT versions (1.20 and later) for ICS to work?

Tl;Dr, you *need* Hboot 1.23 to run the first leaked 4.0.3 rom, and you *need* Hboot 1.27 to run the new sense 3.6 rom.

Also as I see it from the posts in this thread, you need 1.23 or lower to run GB based roms (at least for now)
I know mike is still trying to get his 6.1.0 reposted, but can we also have the download link for the new firmware. Someone posted a link a page earlier, but want to make sure it would work.
Mike, thanks for the great rom. My experience with 6.0.x was a little bad. But I look forward to thoroughly enjoy the 6.1.0.
Thanks for the great work in all directions of the HTC Sensation.

I tried again, and now it does download.
However, the size of the 3.24 firmware is the same as the 3.12 right above it at 13.9 MB.
The link that was posted, the file was 14.6 MB.
Obviously, the 6.1.0 link is up and its all downloaded, but I want to make sure before I dive into this.
Thanks.

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.
Here is the partitions table from before and after flashing new firmware:

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

How to flash:
1. Check your CID using fastboot getvar cid and MID using fastboot getvar mid
2a. If your CID and MID are supported by default, navigate to point 3.
2b. If your CID or MID is not supported by default, do this: (you do it at your own risk)
2c. Open PG58IMG.zip (don't extract it)
2d. Open android-info.txt in text editor
2e. Add your cidnum: <your CID> or modelid: <your MID> to the list, save file and close archive
3. Place PG58IMG.zip on your SD card
4. Boot your device holding power button + vol down button
5. Follow instructions on the screen
Additional information:
1. Flash above firmware at your own risk!
2. It's recommended to flash it before flashing custom ROM based on proper RUU!

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.
