I haven't done anything with this phone for over a year, which is when I gave it to my sister. Now I wanted to update it for her, but in order to update the ROM (I'm running HyperNonSense, she likes it a lot), I need to update firmware to 3.33.

I got everything downloaded and done as it was supposed to, but when I booted into fastboot and it recognized the .img file, it said:
"CID Incorrect
Update Failed
Press power to reboot".

It's a Virgin Mobile Canada HTC Sensation (NOT from Tmobile). My current CID is BM___001 (I think). My MID is PG5811000.

I saw about hundred pages back that the OP supplied the firmware for someone with a specific CID?

Any help please? The universal 3.33 .img isn't working :(

Hi Guys,

I have problem with Firm 3.33, when I flash this firm I get stuck and reboot all the times in: 4Ext, Installing a ROM (e.g. in AROMA installer)

And all this happens right after installing this Firm 3.33.

Can you give me an idea to resolve this?

Thanks!

Ok, I will do it before flashing a new firmware.

Thanks!

It should.
Also that rom will run on 3.32 so can always run it on that and flash the radio update after it

I will give you a thousand thanks if you could do that for me. I only have a new MacBook Air (not much storage, and not easy to hack with), so I would appreciate it so much if you could provide that modified firmware file for me.

And hey, whenever you have time, it doesn't even have to be as early as tonight: I understand you must be a pretty busy person, let alone a busy dev!

Thank you so much for your help!

You're perfect. Successfully updated firmware from that package you provided, and now the phone's running 3.33 ROM that's much smoother than the one it was on previously.

Thank you!

It is amazing what gets accomplished when a group of people work together :)

Hell, look at the fact that they figured out how to UNBRICK this phone cutting out HTC for repairs from messed up flashing ^_^

Hi,

you need to be s-off to update firmware/radio.

For the RUU,you may have the wrong one for your phone.

Hi, I have a T-Mobile Sensation, is the 3.32 TMOUS firmware better then the 3.33 for my phone?

Edit: I did some speed tests, and the TMOUS is definitely giving me better data speeds. :) So I now know it is the better one to use.

    ##NOTICE - Please Make sure you are downloading correct one for your ROM and Read this post!##
    Thanks goes to Mike for his firmware files, Revolutionary for patching the file, and all devs who keep giving us a reason to flash.
    Also Thanks goes to hoosbude who hosted my firmware files when I needed a place to keep them up for everyone

    PLEASE realize that this has the same warnings as all firmware. It can brick your device so please know how to flash it before you do so. I am not responsible if you misflash and brick your device.
    This thread is beginner friendly so by all means ask and I will respond when I can or I am sure others are willing to help as well.

    Firmwares that I have posted:
    3.33 Universal is the latest/stable release ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version and works for Sense 4 also)
    3.32 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
    3.30 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
    3.24 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
    3.12 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW before that (Sense 3.5 Version)
    1.17 Universal This is the original Revolutionary 1.17.1111 Firmware with a completed Gingerbread Firmware v 1.45 package (Radio 10.14.9035.01_M)

    ######################################################
    What is all this?
    What I have here is a series of flashable updates of a complete GingerBread package and the latest ICS Firmware [Firmware from 1.17 - 3.33]
    This is for those who don't know or have bad luck editing the android-info.txt file. Some people don't want to superCID or don't know how to use fastboot or adb. This makes you able to update without having to superCID or have to go to a PC.

    So what is universal about it?
    I have added a method found by mf2112 that allows the android-info file to have a wildcard tag. So instead of having a T-Mobile file where the android-info file has every cidnum the identifier is one entry into the android-info file and it covers every possible CID that T-Mobile has.

    ######################################################
    "I really want to use the latest ICS! How do I go about doing this?
    I get this PM'd to me a lot. The best way I have seen to do it is as shown

    0. Make sure you are S-OFF (These won't work if you aren't)
    1. Download PG58IMG.zip for the version you want
    2. Copy/paste PG58IMG.zip to the root of your microSD
    3. Make sure MD5 match!!!
    4. Reboot into bootloader (While phone it completely off hold down Vol - and Power. Keep pressing until in bootloader. In Ext4, if in android, choose Power Menu - Bootloader)
    5. Once in the Bootloader choose Bootloader and then microSD will be scanned and will ask you if you want to update, press +vol for YES
    6. Follow onscreen instructions.
    7. Now just pull sd card out (when process is finished) if you don't have microSD reader or delete PG58xxxx if you do. PG58 will prevent you from going into recovery if phone sees it.
    7.5 If you don't have a SDCard Reader - Pop the SDCard out. Boot into the bootloader, go down to recovery, pop the SD-Card in then choose recovery.
    8. If you do have a SDCard Reader -> Reboot into bootloader and go to recovery after deleting PG58IMG.zip file and putting the SDCard back in the phone
    9. Reboot or flash new rom
    10. You are done. :) Enjoy the ROM

    My ROM doesn't boot. HELP!
    Boot into recovery and clear dalvik and cache. 99% of the time this will fix that issue.

    ######################################################
    How can I tell if the firmware flashed successfully???
    In the bootloader up at the very top it will say the firmware version you just installed.
    Ex: -Firmware-3.33- or -Firmware-1.17-

    How to check your current Firmware Version for those who flashed before the most recent update:
    fastboot getvar version-main

    How to check your CID & MID:
    You can do this one of the following ways.

    1. fastboot load into the bootloader and do:
    fastboot getvar cid
    fastboot getvar mid

    If you don't have fastboot I have provided a download of it at the bottom of this post. Read the Read-Me file inside of it.

    2. For those without fastboot you can use an app called CID Getter. CID is displayed at the top. MID is at the line ro.mid
    This will not tell if you are SuperCID or not it just tells your original CID.

    3. If you want to do it by terminal, open a terminal on the phone and do:
    su
    getprop ro.cid
    getprop ro.mid

    If it gives you the result of CID: 11111111 and MID PG58******
    You are superCID. Use any file you like it doesn't matter they all work for you.

    ######################################################
    What is in the Universal Firmware File android-info.txt?
    modelid: PG5813000
    modelid: PG5813001
    modelid: PG5810000
    modelid: PG5811000
    cidnum: H3G__***
    cidnum: HTCCN***
    cidnum: HTC__***
    cidnum: HTC*****
    cidnum: VODAP***
    cidnum: T-MOB***
    cidnum: ORANG***
    cidnum: O2___***
    cidnum: ********

    ######################################################
    Can I edit the firmware files and change them to my liking?
    Ofcourse! And let me teach you how below ^_^

    How to edit the android-info.txt File via Windows (Will add Linux later. Sorry I don't own a MAC so I can't tell how to use that)
    1. Go download Notepad++ and install it [It is free and is a great editer and makes it easier]
    2. Download your PG58IMG.zip file you want to edit or one from a post by a DEV.
    3. Double click file and open using Windows Archive Manager (Windows built in ZIP program)
    4. Right click android-info.txt and copy it. Paste outside of the zip file
    5. Right click android-info.txt you just pasted and open in notepad++
    6. Add your cidnum that you want to the file or modelid. Use the ones already in there as an example.
    7. Make sure there are no spaces after your cidnum or modelid (So it shouldn't be "cidnum: T-MOB010_" _ = space)
    8. Save it
    9. Double click the PG58IMG.zip again. Click android-info.txt and delete it in the archive (Don't extract the archive)
    10. Drag and drop the new android-info.txt over PG58IMG.zip
    11. Flash your newly packaged edited Firmware
    12. Grab a drink and celebrate. You just created a custom firmware package.
