It updates your radio, trust zones, and advanced digital signal processor. (all radio related). 3.32 roms run fine in 3.33fw

It will not mess with anything. Firmware updates are like a bios update on a pc

What is trust zone?

None of the links Work! Please Update links!
Serious:

The links work fine! You need to go to the FIRST page of the entire thread which is Page 40 and scroll to the bottom! Download links are usually located at the BEGINNING of a thread, unless otherwise noted, and updates are usually always found in the same area!

Try this link, I just downloaded it myself and it worked fine!

Hello everybody, sorry for my English, I'm a belgian student !
I have insalled this ROM on my HTC Sensation, everythink work normaly exept the wifi... My HTC can't turn ON the wifi...
I think it's the Radio but the installer "Start here" with adb can't flash it... It say "<remote not allowed>"... So I put the file radio.img
in a PG58IMG.zip and the install was successful... Wifi don't work anymore...

An idea ?
Thanks a lot !

I'm guessing you're S-ON? If that's the case its not the radio. You need to flash 4EXT recovery, then enable SmartFlash then flash either a ROM or a kernel and it should work.

hi again,
why do you want to change firmware?
if i remember you have 3.32
or 3.33?
you can boot ARHD 7.0 rom with your current firmware
do a nandroid backup before flashing the new rom just in case

Oh ok, and I was gonna do it because it was one of the Requirements in order to flash the ARHD 7.0 rom, but if what you are saying is that I can just go ahead and flash it with my current set up, so im gonna go ahead and flash see what happens lol.

Thanks again bro

That's what in my bootloader right now when it tries to boot this is what is says under it

SD Checking....
Loading....[PG58DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading [PG58DIAG.nbh]
no image or wrong image!
Loading [PG58DIAG.zip]
...etc

i found similar issue Here it recommended "you have the wrong firmware".
So I followed the instructions :
3. Place PG58IMG.zip on your SD card
4. Boot your device holding power button + vol down button
5. Follow instructions on the screen
I don't get any on screen instructions, it tries to Parse the zip file but doesn't seem to do anything.
I tried going into recovery and Flashing the PG58IMG.zip, that failed too.

The reason I am doing all this:
Sensation XE. I had the stock ROM, then added Fast Boot.
I wanted USB OTG support, so tried to [KERNEL] Overclocked kernel v1.5.2, not sure why, but it failed.
after that my phone was buggy. slow and the Wifi unhappy.
I thought ill just put a new kernel in, I ran [Aroma] Sultan kernel [r21 3/2/2013]
a bit better but not great.
I figured Ill start from scratch then:
So I flashed Darkforest Sensation XE 7.3.0 with Kernal:XxXPachaXxX_Custom_Kernel_stable3.1. this includes a COMPLETE wipe of the system using Aroma.

I thought this would fix the issue...
it didn't... the ROM is nice n slick, but Wifi - Error on the quick setting screen. cant be turned on and in Bootloader I have this Image problem.

I've just tried the Sultan-kernel-r14-Aroma-BCM4329.zip, still the same wifi error.

I've also noticed that in Advanced Wifi, MAC Address: unavailable, IP Address: Unavailable

everything else seems to work fine, as far as I can tell

Any advice?
what have I missed?

As i can see from you bootloafer information you are S-ON. As far as I know you cant change or flash new firmware with S-ON
