SuperCID mate.

OP, I'd insist superCID is a must.

I flashed the one in Kohr-Ah's sig. It went through everything and said it worked but now it says Model ID incorrect.

My CID is TELST001

& the boot menu now says:
Locked
HBOOT-1.23.0000
RADIO-10.11.9007.27_M3

Stumped

Had a T-MOB010 with PG5810000 and i was using the modified update file to use and it worked up until the point of installing the Radio. It failed there.

I figured out how to SuperCID and then changed CID to 11111111 and redid the update and got the same thing. Failed at installing the radio.

I'd do it on pc. But if you feel.adventurous, there is a thread.somewhere in General of how to do it without fastboot.

Go to thread in my Sig and follow it to the letter. And don't assume you have superCID, actually check it as per instructions there. I mean don't assume anything, double check..

Thanks :D
CID = TELST001

How can i check my MID? Sorry for the noob question...
Ive got a Z710A

Also, i tried using the guides to get SuperCID without a pc. They say they've worked but CID Getter tells me that it's still the same.

So I flashed the new FW package on the first page without a problem thanks to all the threads that are around. I have one question though, my hboot reads 1.20 rather than 1.23, any ideas?

Good point, I thought the first link was for the sensation and the second one was for the sensation XE as the title suggested. Cheers for the help, think I will now reflash, is the only change the hboot?

Alright, I added my MID and CID, and the update worked! But now it says ***Locked*** but it also says S-OFF and 1.23.
Everything is working good though. Using Trips rom

    This 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.


    index1.php

    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 :D

    PG58IMG.zip content: [UPDATE: 22.02.2012]

    adsp.img - updated [11.07.2012] - This is needed for 3.12.xxx.x/3.24.xxx.x/3.25.xxx.x/3.30.xxx.x/3.32.xxx.x/3.33.xxx.x based ROM to boot!

    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!

    Quick 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.

    Enjoy.
