So would these all work on any variation of the Sensation? I know flashing bad radio's can brick a device so I don't want to go doing anything stupid, you know?

Same question; knowing that there are differences between models (ex: US 4G vs EU 3G), is it safe to flash any of those radios?
Thanks in advance
I did
Flash Eng-Hboot and and then the 10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27 radio
PS: Vodafone Portugal Sensation
The Eng-Hboot is 1.17.2008, and the revolutionary is 1.17.1011
I mean that the eng-hboot is a old version, because*008 instead of *011?

PS: Vodafone Portugal Sensation
So first you flashed ENG Hboot and rebooted phone and flashed the radio?
I did it that way, but I am unable to get the radio to flash.
I have a T-Mobile US Sensation 4g and I have a radio version not listed in the first post.
Anyone have any idea what to do? I'm hoping the newer radio version solves my poor signal strength issue (my other phones have no issues here.)
extract the radio.img from the zips in the OP,
It should be a .img file.
Its should be named radio.img
Next place the radio.img where your fastboot.exe file is. It should be in your AndriodSDK tools folder.
(Note: If you have your SDK \tools folder add to your environmental variables then you can use Fastboot from any directory.)
Again make sure the file is named radio.img
Next boot into bootloader the select fastboot.
Hook up your usb.
It should say "fastboot usb" on your phone
On the computer open terminal.
I always make sure my phone is recognized so I type
you should get back "fastboot + your devices serial number"
next type
when its done, next type
Thats it you should have the new radio.img flashed to your phone.
Warning : flashing radios is dangerous and can brick you phone, make sure the radio.img file you are gonna flash is not corrupt.

I did this just now, as you described.
I flashed 10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27 but my radio still lists as 10.11.9007.27_M3
EDIT:
I am a t-mobile US customer with a sensation 4g
I am hoping this solves a signal strength problem I have (which I don't have with other phones)
I have S-OFF, android revolution ROM
I have flashed ENG-HBOOT with and then retried to flash the radio with no joy.

Maybe the Op has the radio.img mixed up with another radio.img when he created the PG58IMG.zip files, I run the G2/DesireZ radio thread and know at times having a bunch of radio.img's open at the same time can get confusing when making the update.zip's, my suggestion would be to pull the radio.img from the stock RUU, that way you know for sure what radio.img your are flashing, right now your depending that the OP didn't get things mixed up.
yep me too. I have tried the same version from two different sources.
settings->about phone also tells me I'm running insert coin ROM when I'm actually running Android Revolution.
Have no problem flashing radio thru fastboot. Bootloader shows the radio I've flash, using tmob USA sensation.
Sent from my duo core monster.

I don't know exactly what is going on, but I flashed the last one and it did in fact change the text in the bootloader. The 2nd to last one (the one for the 401 RUU) has the wrong radio version number in the bootloader.
Did you tried to flash the radio with ENG S-off SHIP S-off or with AlpharevX (revolutionary) S-off ??
I, with revolutionary one, flashed the last radio and I had no problems at all. The correct baseband version is showed in settings. I don´t know if will be the same in hboot, but I suppose.

stop supposing!
HBoot shows: 10.11.9007.27_M3 while about->phone shows the version listed (10.51.whatever)
I first tried with AlpharevX's, then I used it to flash ENG S-off which didn't help.

How to Flash:
In order for this to work, the HTC Sensation needs to be S-OFF. Flashing the radio with a corrupt file or interrupting the flash, can brick the device, please proceed with caution.
- Download the your choice of radio for the HTC Sensation.
- Make sure the filename is PG58IMG.zip exactly or it will not work and copy it to the same folder as adb (the /platform-tools folder within the Android SDK folder).
- Connect the HTC Sensation to the computer via USB.
- On the computer, open terminal and run the following commands:
NOTE: The md5 should match up the provide the original download location. If not, redownload & try again.Code:adb push PG58IMG.zip /sdcard/PG58IMG.zip adb shell md5sum /sdcard/PG58IMG.zip
Code:adb reboot bootloader - The HTC Sensation will reboot & usually boot into fastboot. Pressing the Power button will put the device into the bootloader.
- The bootloader will scan for the radio update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.
- Allow the bootloader to finish flashing the updated radio, and reboot the HTC Sensation normally.

66First, thank you for the write up and radio links and contribution to all of this.
Now for my question: Wouldn't fastboot be easier and safer?
1 - Copy the .img to your /sdk/tools folder (or whatever folder depending on computer OS). Verify MD5.
2 - Boot into bootloader (Vol Down + Pwr).
3 - Navigate to Fastboot (Vol down to Fastboot and press Pwr). Make sure your phone says Fastboot USB.
4 - Open command promt (or terminal depending on OS)in folder you put file.
5 - Type:xxxx is radio name.Code:fastboot flash radio xxxx.img
I find this faster and safer. I find SDCards can corrupt the file easier than anything else therefore leaving the file on your computer to flash from is one less transfer and possible issue. As we all know, the 2 things that have the greatest chance of bricking a device are your Radio and Bootloader images.
Just my .02
