Aha, so it doesn't change the size of the user partitions, but it does add another small partition. Weird.
[Edit] Type 90 is hidden FAT16 partition

No, we still have 60 blocks.
It looks a bit like the partition table is duplicated- 22,23,24 and 49,50,51 are identical in the pre-RUU listing, but that type-90 (#32 in post-RUU) is new, no? Fdisk truncates anything more than 60 partitions in its listing anyway, but that small partition isn't anywhere in the first listing

It has the same blocks number but block 32, 59 and 60 have different Id.
It seems that now blocks 33-60 are backups of blocks 5-32. Also yes, you are right - partition 32 seems to be new. Before it was backup for block 5 and it was doubled - in block 32 and 59. The same refers to block 33 and 60. For me the new partitions table looks like little fixed one with one very small FAT16 partition.
Anyway I posted links to firmware from Sensation and Sensation XE. I flashed it with no issues on my own device, but you flash it at your own risk.
1. Flash PG58IMG.zip (instructions in first post)
2. Boot into recovery and flash ICS custom ROM.
3. Reboot.

Yeah, looks like that new one just pushed the rest of the listing down a bit. Shame we can't see blocks >60 really.
Maybe it has something to do with ramdisk.img
No idea why it's doubled (one in boot.img and one in ramdisk.img). I've never seen ramdisk as a separate image before.
It depends on what you want to restore. I would say it's better to make fresh installation.
nice work on this, you've done this really quickly. so is the ultimate aim to try to figure out how to make a regular sensation run at 1.5GHz without using a hacked kernel?
im guessing regular sensation users cant flash XE version and visa versa?

The code that sets the speed is actually inside the kernel so yes, you have to hack it to get 1.5GHz.

No, running regular sensation at 1.5 GHz speed is what I'm going to try now
cool let me know if u want some help. surely if u flash all the partitions from the XE version it will give u that wont it?
Probably we can do it in different way
I think I know what you're planning too =)

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

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.
