As to remove the sd card to connect it to the computer and delete the firmware from root of sdcard, When it tells "Press power to reboot", can I just pull out battery?

Then connect sdcard to pc, delete firmware and then boot into bootloader and recovery...

Thanks in adavance!:)

Yes, that is the procedure. You can safely remove your batt after you are asked to reboot

One question, I want to flash the latest ARHD 6.4.0 because I have Insertcoin 4.5.0 right now, but I flashed the latest firmware (3.32) and tells me I have 3.25 one... Why? Also, since I've flashed the mobile it is quite slow, particularly in transactions between desktops. But still showing im on 3.25 firmware. What can I do?

thanks!

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 3.25 firmware, there is no such firmware ... where did you get that info?

You might be confused with rom base number .. you need to flash a 3.32 based ROM if you want that info to be updated. Just make sure you've downloaded the 3.32 firmware package, flash it and then flash the 3.32 ROM

  • yes you can flash an RUU and go back to original , confirmed to be working by more than a user on ICS with hboot 1.27 Unlocked( older ICS versions with hboot 1.27 unlocked )

  • Please note that you will have then the original hboot 1.18 that comes with the RUU and also i guess the Stock recovery

Why 4EXT

I've read through this thread but I still can't figure out why I need 4EXT. I like Clockwork and am not sure I want to replace it. What am I missing? 4EXT seems to be presented as a must have. What's it do that Clockwork doesn't?

Also at the risk of sounding quite retarded, where can I find which model I have. I don't see anything like the PG5813000, PG5811000, PG5810000 anywhere. Same question with which RUU.

I completed the " Guide to S-off, Installing ClockWork, PermRoot, SuperCID & Flashing" without problems. So I have all that done but still on the stock Gingerbread ROM. I've flashed lots of ROMs but am just coming from Glacier to Sensation. And I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out this ICS update.

  • 4EXT is used because the ARHD rom for example have choices during installation that is built in the rom using that exact 4EXt recovery , and this mentioned by mike ( 4EXT is included in ARHD Rom )

  • those choices are for speed 1.2 or 1.5 ,to use bravia engine or not , wifi calling if you have 4G

  • you can always go back to CWM after installation complete , But believe me i always used CWM , but now i am on 4EXT ( it has more options , and it is build on CWM core ) , it is much better

  • when you use ICS or return back to GB you have to upgrade ( firmware 3.12 or 3.24 or 3.3 or 3.32 according to the rom you choose ) and downgrade software ( firmware 1,17 plus flashing a GB radio )

  • you need to choose the firmware according to your phone cid ( think of it as a region ) in order to be installed , same as the RUU ( you don't expect a Chinese RUU to be flashed on your European phone , the RUU will give you an error )

  • so choose the firmware that is specified by the developer for his rom ( example is ARHD 6.4 requires firmware 3.32 ) , go to the firmware and choose the one 3.32 but with the suitable cid for your phone to accept to install on your phone

Probably a pretty easy Thanks, but I really appreciate the quick reply. I was definitely over thinking it.

I did see the part about choices during installation and wondered how that was implemented. I'll give 4EXT a try.

I didn't realize HBOOT meant Firmware. So I've already learned something new.

I think I can work through all the rest now. Once again thanks a lot.

Thanks for the guide, Ive done everything:
S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1192300

Ive also done everything in this guide apart from flash the radio..
What benift will this give me?
I flashed the Android Revolution HD 6.3.1 XE Rom, this was where the confusion for the radio kicked in..
"With 6.4.x ROMs I strongly recommend flashing 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M radio"

As i installed 6.3.1 XE should i still install that radio?

2nd question, during the install of the rom is asks your phone is sensation 4g, should i have clicked yes? As i clicked no as I'm orange uk not tmobile US..

Anyone notice blurry text with dolphin hd browser?

Thanks in advance..

At the moment phone seems to be fine..

1. As the guide says: there is no need to flash the radio, its already included in the firmware package you've flashed

2. You've answered your own question. You are not a tmobile US user therefore you don't have a sensation 4g. Why you should've clicked yes if you are not?

I'd recommend you to upgrade to the latest 6.5.0 release. It has some improvements but doesnt have beats audio though

    The content in this guide will help you to update your phone with the latest firmware from 3.33.xxx.x RUU and flash/update the latest version of Android Revolution HD (ARHD) Ice Cream Sandwich ROM.
    • If you want to update your firmware and flash ARHD, please follow post#1 and post#2 in this thread.
    • If you just want to update to the 3.33 firmware, please follow post#1 in this thread. This is a general guide and can be applied to flash any ICS 3.33-based rom afterwards.
    • If you want to flash/update the latest version of ARHD and you are coming from a previous 3.32-based version of ARHD (>6.4.0) or a different 3.33-based ROM, please follow post#2 in this thread.
    About S-ON / S-OFF and Hboot version​
    Please follow the instructions according to your Bootloader status (S-ON / S-OFF) and Hboot version
    The following information has been gathered and compiled from many posts and threads.
    Special thanks to: mike1986., Hawke84, Kohr-Ah, jotha, mf2112, malybru, PaulGiz, erraggy and trkaaa for their useful posts and threads in which i've based to make this guide.

    How to flash the ICS 3.33 firmware​

    Readme first
    1. There is no need to flash the radio. It is already included in the firmware package. (radio included: 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M)
    2. Check MD5 Checksum of every file before flashing it. MD5 Checker tool: Download the file, unzip it and follow the instructions
    3. CAUTION: This procedure can brick your phone. Please make sure you've read, understood everything and know how to do it before you continue.
    4. Please make sure your battery is fully charged before start flashing.
    5. As a precautionary measure, remove the sim card from the phone and keep it out during the whole process.

    Step 1. Flashing 4EXT recovery touch

    During the installation of ARHD ROM you will be asked if you want to add/flash certain features ( i.e: stock or custom kernel, TMOUS 4g support, sony bravia engine, among other things). To make those choices you need to flash 4ext recovery touch before the ROM, if you decide to flash the ROM with CMW recovery this options will not appear. 4ext recovery touch is included in ARHD by default, any other recovery will be overwriten after the installation.

    If you've decided not to flash ARHD and/or the ROM you've chosen do not require you to have 4EXT recovery touch installed, you can skip this section.

    To dowload and install the newest version of 4ext recovery TOUCH (v1.0.0.5 RC5). (thanks to madmaxx82) use one of the following methods provided:
    • First method: Your phone MUST be rooted in order to install the 4ext recovery touch. Follow the Installation guide (thanks to LarsChristian).
    • Second method: This method is only for windows users. Download the user-friendly 4EXT Recovery touch flashing tool. Check the MD5 of the zip, extract the downloaded file and read the guide inside.
      Is highly recommended to install the 4EXT Recovery Updater or 4EXT Recovery Control to keep up with the latest updates and news. Go to 4EXT thread or www.4ext.net.
    • Third method: Download this file, check the MD5 of the zip and install it following the steps 4 and 5 from post#1 in this thread.

      If you get the "CID error" you'll need to know what your CID is and manually add it to the android-info.txt file contained in the .zip, or you can do SuperCID following Step4 in this guide and repeat the process afterwards.
      NOTE: File used in third method WILL NOT install the needed 3.33 firmware in any way, only contains the recovery.img to flash 4ext recovery touch.

    Step 2. Backup your current ROM/Apps/Data
    1. Make a NANDROID backup of your current ROM.
      • Go to settings>power and untick fast boot
      • Power off phone
      • Hold volume-down + power button to boot into the bootloader
      • Select recovery
      • Wait for 4EXT recovery touch to boot
      • Go to: backup|restore>Backup>Yes
      • Wait until backup is finished
      • Reboot phone
    2. Make a backup of your apps (with titanium backup or you preferred app). This is optional
    3. Make a backup of your SMS, contacts and important data. After superwiping and flashing the ROM all of them will be gone.This is optional
      You can use either the HTC sense buit-in backup option or one of this free apps:

    Step 3. Downloading the firmware package

    Download the latest 3.33 universal firmware package (PG58IMG.zip) from here.

    Step 4. Updating the firmware

    This step is MANDATORY otherwise you ROM will not boot. Please take a look at the firmware thread so you can understand what you are about to do.
    After updating the firmware you will have the 3.33 firmware with unlocked bootloader (revolutionary hboot 1.27). Which basically means that you can use advanced fastboot commands, such as: flash new radios and splashscreens
    1. Copy the PG58IMG.zip file you've downloaded to the root of the sdcard. Root of the sd card mean that you can't put the file inside any folder. Also, you can't rename the file. Please keep the PG58IMG otherwise the bootloader won't recognize it.
    2. Power off your phone or remove the batt and put it back again.
    3. Hold volume-down + power button to boot into the bootloader
    4. Wait for the firmware package to be found and confirm to update as prompted
    5. Once it completed successfully and prompted you to reboot, pull the battery out.

    Step 5. Removing the PG58IMG.zip file from the sd card

    Now that you have updated the firmware succesfully, it is necessary to delete the PG58IMG.zip file from the sd card to gain access to the bootloader without being asked if you want to update the firmware. To do so, we have two options:

    Option#1. If you can have access to the sd card from a computer:
    1. Remove the sdcard from your phone,attach it to your computer and delete the PG58IMG.zip from the sdcard.
    2. Remove the sdcard from your computer and return it to your phone.
    3. Hold volume-down + power to boot into bootloader.
    4. Wait 10 seconds until the bootloader is fully loaded
    5. Now your bootloader screen should read:
      -Revolutionary-
      PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
      HBOOT-1.27.1100
      RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M
    6. Navigate with the volume button and select recovery with the power button
    7. Wait for the recovery to boot
    8. You are good to go, now you can flash the ROM. Please follow post#2 in this thread.
    Option#2. If you can't have access to the sd card from a computer:
    1. Remove the sd card from the phone
    2. Hold volume-down + power to boot into bootloader.
    3. Wait 10 seconds until the bootloader is fully loaded
    4. Now your bootloader screen should read:
      -Revolutionary-
      PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
      HBOOT-1.27.1100
      RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M
    5. Insert the sd card now
    6. Navigate with the volume button and select recovery with the power button
    7. Wait for the recovery to boot
    8. You are good to go, now you can flash the ROM. Please follow post#2 in this thread.
    9. Delete the PM58IMG.zip file from your sd card using your preferred file manager as soon as your phone has booted succesfully. You won't be able to boot into recovery normally until you delete this file. As a workaround use this method to enter into recovery mode.


    A very special thanks to all members who have contacted me with positive messages, kind words and those who asked for a way to buy me a beer. Many thanks for your appreciation and support guys.

If the first digits of this number are 3.32 or 3.33 then you have the proper firmware flashed and you can continue following this guide. Otherwise you need to update the firmware first, to do so, please follow post#1 in this thread. This is a general guide and can be applied to flash any ICS 3.33-based rom afterwards.
    • Android Revolution HD can be flashed in HTC Sensation, HTC Sensation 4G & HTC Sensation XE
    • You can flash either non-xe (without beats audio) or xe (with beats audio) version. Yes, the only difference is beats audio.
    About S-ON / S-OFF and Hboot version​
    Please follow the instructions according to your Bootloader status (S-ON / S-OFF) and Hboot version

    How to flash/update Android Revolution HD v.6.7.x / 1.2.x
    Ice Cream Sandwich ROM     ​

    Readme first
    1. You need the latest 3.33 firmware installed in your phone before flashing the ROM, please follow post#1 in this thread. This is a general guide and can be applied to flash any ICS 3.33-based rom afterwards.
    2. There is no need to flash the ARHD recommended radio. It is already included in the firmware package. (radio included: 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M)

    6. As a precautionary measure, remove the sim card from the phone and keep it out during the whole process.

    If you've followed the post#1 in this thread you already have 4EXT recovery touch installed and your data is backed up, please jump to the step3.

    If you have a previous version of ARHD installed (>6.4.0) you don't need to flash again the 4EXT Recovery touch, make sure you have the latest 3.33 firmware then jump to the step2.    ​


    Step 1. Flashing 4EXT recovery touch

    During the installation of ARHD ROM you will be asked if you want to add/flash certain features ( i.e: stock or custom kernel, TMOUS 4g support, sony bravia engine, among other things). To make those choices you need to flash 4ext recovery touch before the ROM, if you decide to flash the ROM with CMW recovery this options will not appear. 4ext recovery touch is included in ARHD by default, any other recovery will be overwriten after the installation.

      • Wait for 4EXT recovery touch to boot
      • Go to: backup|restore>Backup>Yes
      • Wait until backup is finished
      • Reboot phone
    2. Make a backup of your apps (with titanium backup or you preferred app). This is optional
    3. Make a backup of your SMS, contacts and important data. After superwiping and flashing the ROM all of them will be gone.This is optional
      You can use either the HTC sense buit-in backup option or one of this free apps:

    Step 3. Downloading the installation files
    1. Download the Sensation superwipe script (is the same for Sensation /XE/4G users) from the ARHD OP(Thanks to mike1986.). WARNING: Use only the superwipe script for the HTC Sensation. Using a different one can brick your phone.
    2. Download the ROM from the ARHD OP (Thanks to mike1986.). You can flash either non-xe (without beats audio) or xe (with beats audio) version. Yes, the only difference is beats audio.
      • 6.6.x XE = With beats audio
      • 6.6.x = Without beats audio
      • 1.2.x = Recommended for TMOUS users. Based on the latest official HTC 3.32.531.14 (U.S. T-Mobile) firmware. Without beats audio
    3. Copy the super wipe and ROM zip files to the sdcard

    Step 4. Flashing/updating the ROM
    Note to ARHD updaters!
    • If you are coming from ARHD 6.7.x version there is no need to superwipe. Flashing the ROM without superwipe will not modify or delete your data/settings/apps/desktop layout. However, the mods you've installed will be gone and you will need to flash them again. I'd recommend to check if the mods are available/compatible with the updated ROM you are flashing to avoid future issues.
    • If you are coming from a previous 3.32-based ARHD ROM (>6.4.0) superwipe is required highly recommended!. There have been some changes and updates in the ROM since then and the best advice is to do a clean install. Please consider a superwipe to avoid issues and get the better ARHD experience.
    • If you are moving from/to the XE ROM version, superwipe isn't required but recommended. If you decide not to superwipe and you are having issues or strange behaviour please consider a superwipe to avoid issues and get the better ARHD experience.
    1. Power off phone
    2. Hold volume-down + power button to boot into the bootloader
    3. Select recovery
    4. Wait for 4EXT recovery touch to boot
    5. Select install from sd card
    6. Install the superwipe script. This will wipe ALL your data and reboot the phone into recovery again when completed.
    7. Select install from sd card again
    8. This time flash the ROM and follow the on-screen instructions
    9. During the installation you will be asked the following questions:
      • Is your device HTC Sensation 4G?. This will add wifi calling option. ONLY FOR TMOUS USERS
      • Adding sony bravia engine support?. Check out this video. Most of users haven't noticed any difference with or without the bravia engine patch. So you make your choice.
      • Flashing boot.img.
        Step 1: Select between stock kernel and custom kernel. If you have a Sensation XE and you install stock kernel your phone will run @1.5GHz because that's the stock cpu speed. If you don't have a Sensation XE your phone will run @1.2GHz.
        Step 2: Select between SebastianFM kernel and faux123 kernel. If you want to have an idea of the difference between both go to this useful post. (Thanks to PaulGiz)
    10. When the ROM is fully flashed select back
    11. Select reboot from 4ext recovery
    12. Done, enjoy ICS :D, the first boot should take around 5-10 mins

    Step 5. After flashing
    1. Before restoring or installing any app go to settings>Security>Tick unknow sources. This will allow the installation of non-Market apps.
    2. If you are going to restore any of your apps make sure you don't restore system apps or data. Just restore user apps and their data. Please read this post for a short explanation of why you shouldn't backup/restore system data.
    3. Restore your SMS backup. You must've done a backup before flashing the ROM.
      You can use either the HTC sense built-in tool or one of this free apps:
    4. There is no need to flash the recommended radio, remember? you already have it.
    5. If you want to change the radio please visit Sensation RIL and RADIO thread and follow the instructions. (Thanks to mf2112)
    6. TMOUS Users, there is something you can do to possibly improve your data speeds and connectivity. For further information please visit Sensation RIL and RADIO thread and follow the instructions. (Thanks to mf2112)
    7. Don't forget to visit Hawke84's thread ICS Problem Fixes / Mods. (Thanks to Hawke84)

    Do you want to go back to Gingerbread?

    If you want to flash a stock ROM and/or you are changing back to S-ON using a RUU and it comes up with an error please follow the second method posted here. You can also reboot your phone manually into bootloader and then run the RUU.
    To change back to S-ON please follow the STEP 5 in this guide

    If you want to flash a custom Gingerbread ROM please follow this steps:
    1. You need to flash the proper GB firmware with Hboot 1.17.
    2. Go HERE And download the 1.17 universal Firmware. This file is the original Revolutionary 1.17.1111 Firmware with a completed Gingerbread Firmware v 1.45 package (It does contain the Radio 10.14.9035.01_M). (Thanks to Kohr-Ah for the User-Friendly Firmware)
    3. Follow the same steps you've followed to upgrade the firmware, but this time with the Hboot 1.17 PG58IMG.zip file.
    4. Flash superwipe script for sensation
    5. Flash Gingerbread ROM
    6. Or you can just restore your Gingerbread NANDROID backup, if you have one, AFTER downgrading the firmware and flashing the radio.
    7. Go to Radio/RIL thread and follow the instructions to check if you have the matching RIL (HTC-RIL 2.2.0169HMQ) for the 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01 radio contained in the 1.17 firmware package. (thanks to mf2112)

    hey thanks for the fanstastic guide...i have a completely stock sensation 1.18,, runinng 2.3.4,, revolutionary fails to get root..after a few searches i noticed that i have to use the taco root method..so will i have to use taco roo???t or am i doing some step in a wrong way..
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    tacoroot is the solution
    and here is the guide
    SOFF WITH TACOROOT FOR HBOOT 1.18

    EDIT: jaoquinf
    why dont you add this guide to your OP..its 100% confirmed that for 1.18 HBOOT revolutionary is failing to get root (zerg root failed error)
    so just add a clause saying "in case of HBOOT 1.18 and revolutionary failed while acquiring root ..use this guide .or something"

    just a suggestion though :D
