- you will need to be on Stock recovery and hboot to receive the update , also you may need to be on original cid ( instead of super cid ) if you couldn't receive the update
- if you have :
- S-OFF then you can go on with the ICS OTA update if you like
- if you didn't do Revolutionary S-OFF , and used htc dev to unlock the bootloader , then Don't update to ICS , because you will be stuck with S-ON with ICS installed , you will not be able to S-OFF anymore because Revolutionary don't support hboot 1.27
- to be able to receive ICS update you need to :
- only do that if you are S-OFF
- lock the bootloader again ( if you used the htc dev )
- install htc sync
- flash your Original GB RUU from PC ( it will replace custom recovery with the Stock recovery and also will replace the hboot with the original locked hboot and you will be able to receive the ICS OTA
- better than that if you are S-OFF is to install the Rooted ICS OTA here Latest Stock ICS Rom , it will keep your custom recovery and the unlocked hboot , and to do that :
- flash the firmware 3.32
- flash the Rooted OTA
- flash the Rooting tools includes ( superuser and busy box )

- in both cases of upgrade or downgrade , you have to install two items together " the suitable firmware and the suitable Rom to the firmware "
- in your case " because you said upgrade " , you installed ICS Firmware i guess
- do the following :
- after flashing the firmware , remove PG58IMG.zip from SD Card and boot into bootloader then go to recovery
- copy the custom rom and super wipe to your sd card
- super wipe first , then install Suitable ICS ROM
- example : if for example you installed firmware 3.32 according to your cid , then choose an ICS Rom that fits that firmware , i recommend ARHD 6.6.4

I flash my ROM with Revolutionary firmware 3.32.
my bootloader now reads:
HBooT: 1.27.1100
Radio: 11.22.3504.07_M
but I am stuck in a boot loop once i flashed my rom. My CID is 11111111.
Any kind sir can point out to me what I did wrong? I have followed the guide to S-off and permanently root my phone.
Cheers,
Dave

- the bootloop is because you didn't install an ICS Rom after you flashed the firmware 3.32
- to install ICS Roms you need to install three things before your first boot of the device , those are " Firmware 3.32 from bootloader , and both super wipe then the ICS Custom Rom from recovery " , then boot the device
- so , you need now to download super wipe and the ICS Custom Rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
- remove the PG58IMG.zip from SD Card to be able to enter bootloader , then from bootloader choose recovery
- if you don't have Custom recovery , then go here and install 4EXT recovery Guide for installing Both Custom / Stock Recovery ( Downloads and Methods )
- for easy Method for installing ICS custom roms , go here Post # 2 and follow title 2) Easy Method for Installing ICS Custom Roms ( S-OFF Devices )
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Since I am stuck in a boot load, I have transferred both the revolutionary ROM and the super wipe on to the SD card.
So now I am suppose to boot into fast boot(vol dwn + pwr) and select recovery right? Once I select recovery, the phone hang on a screen with an exclaimation mark. Can you help me?
- this is because you don't have custom Recovery " i guess you were on stock software before you flashed the firmware 3.32 "
- install custom Recovery as i mentioned to you in my previous post ,

So if I'm using mike's latest firmware and am currently on ARHD, should I be able to easily flash the latest build of AOKP without having to worry about firmware, radios and kernels?
Yes.. Just use the wipe of 4EXT (wipe/format ----format all partitions except sdcard)
Instead of superwiped and then you are good to go

- some earphones support only voice calls ,
- other stereo earphones support both voice calls and music , so if it works normally with voice calls and the problem comes only with music , this due to the earphone itself
- when you have questions about ARHD , go to its thread , very strong support there
Well I would consider myself a noob to this flashing thing lol....this is only the second phone I have flashed. I know it's not the headset because it worked before I flashed and it still works with my computer. I followed all the threads on the forum I used to root/flash my phone but with so many links I was easily lost lol. And I'm too new to post on developer forums.

SOLVED. Please don't duplicate posts, it wastes other members' time if they try to answer a solved question.
There was just about a 20 min gap between your post here & in the help thread.
You need to wait a day or two before you consider re-posting as this isn't a major issue since you had a functional phone anyway.
