Hi, I'm running SenselessROM 2.9.5 based on 2.08.651.2. Yeah I know I'm 2 stock updates behind which is why I have a few questions before I update to a new ROM.
I have HBOOT 1.5 and unlocked using HTC's method. I was wondering if updating to a new ROM was as easy as flashing the .zip in recovery and the kernel img using Image Flash GUI.
Would it be better to flash a stock 2.17.651.5 ROM and then root/unlock/flash?
I think you also need to update your firmware and radio with a zip file from Freeza called his all in one (you can search for it in the dev forum)
I don't know much about 1.5 as I have 1.4 and we would put the file on the root of the sd card and then boot to bootloader and let it update. This would bring you up to date and then you could flash whatever you wanted.
Good Luck
I have some Hboot 1.50 notes in my signature that may help you.
If u flash the new update to get the radio, you have to use roms/kernels based off the update, you can't use ones from prior radio baseband, and you have to relock the bootloader first & flash the full oem Ruu.
Right now you can use 651.2 & 651.3 based roms/kernels but not 651.5 ones.

Ah okay, just to confirm so I don't waste my time... The only way to use 2.17.651.5 based ROMs and Kernels is to flash the latest RUU and then unlock using HTC's method?
Edit: Yup, found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21363331&postcount=49
Thanks guys
But currently u can't downgrade the radio or use any roms/kernels from previous bases.
CleanRom Reborn 1.1 is very good.

If you have a gsm phone, u can update via ota to get the latest hboot and firmware, unlock it via htcdev method if required, and then flash a custom rom for example Cool-ICS. It is okay to remain s-on even this way. It is not necessary to update ota as you can also get the zip files for the updates and install it according to a custom rom's requirement.
Cheers.

As someone has asked, are you GSM or CDMA?
You state you have not updated firmware, but are running infected rom, so I am guessing you are referring to having not updated the kernel.
Do you have a recovery like TWRP or EXT4 loaded?
If so are you comfortable with how to flash a rom from the recovery console?
Help us help you.
This is what worked for me. I just updated the firmware/radios for the time being because to actually be able to use it as global the rom base will have to be updated. So flash that PH98IMG, then go into recovery and flash scotts 10x wipe, then restore your nandroid. Should work.

where's the link?? does it have both firmware and radios in one file?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1830859
If you want to use global then you have to use that rom or wait for others to get the new base in the rom. If you flash the new firmware/radios it also flashes a new kernel thats not compatible. heres what you do, reboot into hboot flash the new firmware/radio, then go into recovery wipe EVERYTHING! system, boot the whole nine yards. then resotre nandroid and you will have the new hboot, firmware and radios. no global functions til rom bases are updated
anyone having issues can hit me up on gtalk @ [email protected]
If you just want the radio/firmware/etc, open up the zip with 7zip and remove the boot.img from the firmware zip before you put it on your phone to flash.
Again, s-off only

i am still lost, the other site says you have to do ruu first of the latest ota before you can do this. Doe the global update rom incorporate this or do i have to ruu, then firmware then rom? doesnt the firmware have the parts of the ruu that I need? Can you help me please?
if i need it, where can i find the ruu?
Can you contact me on gtalk?

I am S-On HBoot 1.15.
I had to flash a new boot.img for CM10 Nightlies to work. I understand that I will have to flash a Sense based Rom boot.img to leave CM10.
I want the new radios and kernel from the OTA. What do I do?
I saw pocketables had a way to do it, but I'm not sure this would work for me. Would I just need to flash a Sense boot.img first, go through their method, then flash the CM10 boot.img again and restore my CM10 back up?
Will the new OTA radios and kernel work with CM10 Nightlies?
Help, I am lost...
You may be able to use the Flash Image UI app in Google Play, with the 1.15 hboot. Try that, but play it safe and read up on the best practices to flash new kernels, etc. as you're playing with fire. You can get bricked.

Fastboot is the most reliable method. As always verify the MD5 to avoid problems

HBOOT 1.15 and up do not allow for S-OFF, and HTCDev unlocking still does not allow the flash of new radios and the like. Because of this, taking the new OTA or running a RUU are the only way to update to the newest radio.

That is probably the easiest way to do it. Flash (using fastboot) a sense kernel (boot.img), flash back to sense ROM, take OTA, then flash CM10 kernel and restore CM10 backup.

Radio: Yes. Kernel: No. You want to flash the CM10 kernel back before restoring your CM10 backup. I am running CM10 nightlies with the newest radio and PRI. I flashed them separately since I am S-OFF, and they work fine.

Everyone gets lost at some point. Don't worry about it
I think the only way for s on people to get the new radio is to take the ota.. I recommend NOT doing this. This gives you the new hboot which will make it even less likely that you get s off. You can get the new kernel by fastbooting the boot.img of a Rom based on the new kernel and than flash the Rom in twrp. This is the smartest route in my opinion

Hey guys I rooted this phone almost a year ago and installed a custom rom. I remember the procedure being very different from other phones I have done and very complicated. At the moment I am still "S-on" and running Android Revolution HD 1.1.0 (android 2.3.4)
My goal is to install the newest version of Android Revolution ( looking for a very stable rom, so I'm open to suggestions)
The thread mentions extra steps if you are coming from a non-ics rom.
Also Im considering the Energy rom. (this one does not specify any extra complicated steps)
In the current state that I'm in should I run the all in one s-off tool? do I even need that for these roms? what recovery should I flash? (Im currently on a CW based recovery)
Thanks in advance for all the help.
you should first flash back to stock.... then update to ICS... after that you should once again unlock your bootloader and flash 4ext recovery this time.. but you id really suggest updating to ICS before trying to flash any ICS roms..., specially since your still "S-ON"

To my understanding, flashing back to stock requires the stock recovery and a stock image.
I found the stock image here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Amaze_4G/ROMs#Stock_ROMs
but can somebody help me find a stock recovery?

I have been doing a lot of searching and reading for a while now and have been unable to find the answers to this..
I have an unlocked, rooted HTC One M7_UL (AT&T) with:
stock Android 4.1.2,
Sense 5.0,
TWRP 2.7.0.0,
S-ON,
software number 1.26.502.12,
radio 4A.14.3250.13,
baseband 4A.14.3250.13_10.331150.01L
HBOOT 1.44
I want to update it to the latest Android Revolution HD (71.1?) Android 4.4.2 and the latest radio.
Is "radio", "firmware", and "baseband" all the same thing? Seems like I see them used interchangeably..
What are the steps to get there? Do I just flash the ARHD ROM and then the radio?
Do I need S-OFF to flash the radio? Some places said yes, some said no.
Do I need to go to a stock 4.4.2 ROM first then to ARHD?
Also, I've seen "kernels" such as ElementalX and Bulletproof. But I think these can be flashed anytime, correct?
Thanks.

By "firmware" do you mean 4.1.2, 4.3, 4.4.3, etc.? Some places seem to call the "radio" the "firmware"...
So can I flash the "stock" that is on this page (android-revolution-hd.blogspot.com/p/android-revolution-hd-mirror-site-var.html) and then ARHD?
Is there a reason you can't flash straight to a custom ROM from stock?

Their is a no. of dependencies are full firmware flash upgrades like in htc - system,hboot,radio which are needed by the rom to work that is why I suggest full RUU/Firmware flash instead of just updating the required manually

Okay. thanks. I'm still S-ON. Do I need to get S-OFF using Revone to lock the bootloader? Then go back to S-ON and use the RUU to
get back full stock? Then update to stock 4.4.3?
