[Firmware][Jan 17]User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24/3.30/3.32/3.33 Universal

##NOTICE - Please Make sure you are downloading correct one for your ROM and Read this post!##
Thanks goes to Mike for his firmware files, Revolutionary for patching the file, and all devs who keep giving us a reason to flash.
Also Thanks goes to hoosbude who hosted my firmware files when I needed a place to keep them up for everyone
PLEASE realize that this has the same warnings as all firmware. It can brick your device so please know how to flash it before you do so. I am not responsible if you misflash and brick your device.
This thread is beginner friendly so by all means ask and I will respond when I can or I am sure others are willing to help as well.
Firmwares that I have posted:
3.33 Universal is the latest/stable release ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version and works for Sense 4 also)
3.32 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.30 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.24 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.12 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW before that (Sense 3.5 Version)
1.17 Universal This is the original Revolutionary 1.17.1111 Firmware with a completed Gingerbread Firmware v 1.45 package (Radio 10.14.9035.01_M)
######################################################
What is all this?
What I have here is a series of flashable updates of a complete GingerBread package and the latest ICS Firmware [Firmware from 1.17 - 3.33]
This is for those who don't know or have bad luck editing the android-info.txt file. Some people don't want to superCID or don't know how to use fastboot or adb. This makes you able to update without having to superCID or have to go to a PC.
So what is universal about it?
I have added a method found by mf2112 that allows the android-info file to have a wildcard tag. So instead of having a T-Mobile file where the android-info file has every cidnum the identifier is one entry into the android-info file and it covers every possible CID that T-Mobile has.
######################################################
"I really want to use the latest ICS! How do I go about doing this?
I get this PM'd to me a lot. The best way I have seen to do it is as shown
0. Make sure you are S-OFF (These won't work if you aren't)
1. Download PG58IMG.zip for the version you want
2. Copy/paste PG58IMG.zip to the root of your microSD
3. Make sure MD5 match!!!
4. Reboot into bootloader (While phone it completely off hold down Vol - and Power. Keep pressing until in bootloader. In Ext4, if in android, choose Power Menu - Bootloader)
5. Once in the Bootloader choose Bootloader and then microSD will be scanned and will ask you if you want to update, press +vol for YES
6. Follow onscreen instructions.
7. Now just pull sd card out (when process is finished) if you don't have microSD reader or delete PG58xxxx if you do. PG58 will prevent you from going into recovery if phone sees it.
7.5 If you don't have a SDCard Reader - Pop the SDCard out. Boot into the bootloader, go down to recovery, pop the SD-Card in then choose recovery.
8. If you do have a SDCard Reader -> Reboot into bootloader and go to recovery after deleting PG58IMG.zip file and putting the SDCard back in the phone
9. Reboot or flash new rom
10. You are done. Enjoy the ROM
My ROM doesn't boot. HELP!
Boot into recovery and clear dalvik and cache. 99% of the time this will fix that issue.
######################################################
How can I tell if the firmware flashed successfully???
In the bootloader up at the very top it will say the firmware version you just installed.
Ex: -Firmware-3.33- or -Firmware-1.17-
How to check your current Firmware Version for those who flashed before the most recent update:
fastboot getvar version-main
How to check your CID & MID:
You can do this one of the following ways.
1. fastboot load into the bootloader and do:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot getvar mid
If you don't have fastboot I have provided a download of it at the bottom of this post. Read the Read-Me file inside of it.
2. For those without fastboot you can use an app called CID Getter. CID is displayed at the top. MID is at the line ro.mid
This will not tell if you are SuperCID or not it just tells your original CID.
3. If you want to do it by terminal, open a terminal on the phone and do:
su
getprop ro.cid
getprop ro.mid
If it gives you the result of CID: 11111111 and MID PG58******
You are superCID. Use any file you like it doesn't matter they all work for you.

Can I edit the firmware files and change them to my liking?
Ofcourse! And let me teach you how below ^_^
How to edit the android-info.txt File via Windows (Will add Linux later. Sorry I don't own a MAC so I can't tell how to use that)
1. Go download Notepad++ and install it [It is free and is a great editer and makes it easier]
2. Download your PG58IMG.zip file you want to edit or one from a post by a DEV.
3. Double click file and open using Windows Archive Manager (Windows built in ZIP program)
4. Right click android-info.txt and copy it. Paste outside of the zip file
5. Right click android-info.txt you just pasted and open in notepad++
6. Add your cidnum that you want to the file or modelid. Use the ones already in there as an example.
7. Make sure there are no spaces after your cidnum or modelid (So it shouldn't be "cidnum: T-MOB010_" _ = space)
8. Save it
9. Double click the PG58IMG.zip again. Click android-info.txt and delete it in the archive (Don't extract the archive)
10. Drag and drop the new android-info.txt over PG58IMG.zip
11. Flash your newly packaged edited Firmware
12. Grab a drink and celebrate. You just created a custom firmware package.

Correct.

Thank you for creating this thread! While I already have the latest firmware loaded, the amount of time I spent reading through page after page of comments just to make sure I was doing it correctly was a bit much.
Again, thanks for contributing.

Same as Mike's firmware. As the only commands you lose are fastboot flash.

When you flashed firmware it asked you to push vol up for yes and volume down for no didn't it before it began?

It don't ask... It reads the content of the package and then it will switch without asking to a normal hboot menu. After that, i'm hboot 1.23, like before...

Can the firmware be edited to leave out certain elements?
It seems that the 3.24 firmware includes a screen update that makes AOU screens have a much colder/blue tint look.
Could that element of the firmware be hacked out?
I wouldn't even personally think to try such a thing. But if someone who knows how to code could yank that part of the update out it would be awesome.

3.33 fw?

i think i have 3.32 fw still is there a need to upgrade?

From what I can tell the 3.33 firmware has just the following files:
adsp.img
android-info.txt
radio.img
rcdata.img
tz.img
I am not sure if updating the firmware is any different to updating to the latest radio 11.24a.3504.31_m
If the radio is flashed is there any difference to flashing the 3.33 firmware package? The new package does not contain any bootloader in it.

Did you download the one from baadnewz's link? the proper firmware.zip has a full firmware including hboot v1.29.0000 for sensation xe and 1.27.0000 for sensation. Also the new firmware contains a new kernel version (though htc havent dropped the source for it yet so I'm spamming @htcdev on twitter )

This thread is a placeholder for all possible firmwares we can get from official HTC OTA's.
Your CID number must be exactly the same. If it's written "HTC__001" it means you can't flash it, if your CID is "02__001". The whole text must match!
Please READ this small F.A.Q. before continuing!
What is firmware.zip?
Firmware.zip is a part of each OTA update from HTC. It contains important part of the firmware like radio, bootloader, recovery, kernel etc..
Why it's important to flash firmware.zip and when should I flash it?
It is recommended to have flashed latest firmware on your device for best modem performance and system stability. Sometimes it's necessary to have latest bootloader flashed because otherwise your device might not work well with new system update.
Does firmware.zip contains radio?
Yes, it does contain radio, and for S-ON devices the only method to update radio is to flash latest firmware.zip
Why it's important to flash it before flashing custom ROM?
Because firmware.zip contains boot.img (ramdisk and kernel) that will replace custom boot.img from any custom ROM you have. That's why you have to flash firmware.zip first, because otherwise boot.img will be overwritten with stock one.
If you already flashed firmware.zip after flashing custom ROM, just flash this particular custom ROM again.
Does firmware.zip contains recovery?
Yes, it does contain recovery image, that's why after flashing firmware.zip you will have to flash custom recovery again, to be able to flash custom ROM afterwards.
Can I flash this firmware.zip on any HTC One?
Not if your device is S-ON. To be able to flash it on S-ON device, your modelid (example: PN0710000) and cidnum (example: HTC__001) must match the firmware.zip version you are about to flash.
If my modelid or cidnum doesn't match, can I brick my device if I try to flash firmware.zip anyway?
As long as your device is S-ON flashing firmware.zip with non matching modelid or cidnum will result in error and nothing will be flashed, so there is no risk of brick.
Do I need to have locked, unlocked or relocked bootloader to be able to flash firmware.zip?
Your bootloader needs to be relocked.
If I can't flash newest firmware.zip because of wrong modeid (MID) or cidnum (CID) does it mean I can't use custom ROM based on the latest HTC update?
In most cases you should be able to run any custom ROM as long as hboot update is not mandatory.
What if there is no firmware.zip for my MID/CID?
Try to find latest OTA update for your original stock ROM and send it to me. I will post firmware.zip here.​
How to flash?
(bootloader needs to be relocked)
Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location (e.g. c:/SDK/platform-tools/fastboot.exe)
Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
Open command prompt
Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol down + power ===> fastboot)
Connect device to the PC
In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet)
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Sometimes flashing for the first time doesn't work, so flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Type: fastboot reboot
Unlock your bootloader and flash custom recovery if you are going to use custom ROM.

Custom firmware​
Overview​
Custom firmware - firmware.zip package built from RUU with the changed content (adsp.img, rpm.img, hboot.img and others).
These packages are not signed, so you need S-OFF in order to flash it.
I take no responsibility for any damaged caused to your device, you flash it at your own risk.
Flashing process is the same as for official firmware.zip taken from HTC OTA package.
Firmware package from 2.17.401.1 RUU​
There are new touch panel drivers inside this firmware that breaks touch in custom recoveries. You can flash it and use only hardware keys in custom recovery or you can remove tp_SYN3202.img from inside the package before flashing.
This device should work with no issue on any M7_UL PN0710000 device, however it might work on others too. You flash it at your own risk. More details here - HTC One variants [U/UL/WL]
If you want to add more modelid or cidnum open and edit android-info.txt inside firmware.zip package. Be careful with adding different modelid because you might end up with a bricked device.
Basically there is no clear reason why you should update this firmware, because it seems that all 4.2.2 custom ROMs are working perfectly fine with old firmware.
Read this and this
By default android-info.txt comes with the following modelid and cidnum:
modelid: PN0710000
cidnum: 11111111
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__E11
cidnum: HTC__102
cidnum: HTC__203
cidnum: HTC__405
cidnum: HTC__Y13
cidnum: HTC__304
cidnum: HTC__032
cidnum: HTC__A07
cidnum: HTC__J15
cidnum: HTC__016​

Hi mike, If my cid is htc_001 but i am coming from 1.28.401 firmware can i still flash your attached firmware to get back to stock or will it brick the phone due to a downgrade?

got my answer... thx.. pls delete my post.

Is this the UL version?

Newest firmware zip from 1.29.401.12 post.
It contains newest radio.img, but also stock boot.img so make sure you flash it before flashing custom ROM.

It is recommended to have flashed latest firmware on your device for best modem performance and system stability. Sometimes it's necessary to have latest bootloader flashed because otherwise your device might not work properly with old one.

Yes, it does contain radio, and for S-ON devices the only method to update radio is to flash latest firmware.zip

Because firmware.zip contains boot.img (ramdisk and kernel) that will replace custom boot.img from any custom ROM you have. That's why you have to flash firmware.zip first, because otherwise boot.img will be overwritten with stock one.
If you already flashed firmware after flashing custom ROM, just flash this custom ROM again.

Yes, it does contain recovery image, that's why after flashing firmware.zip you will have to flash custom recovery again to be able to flash custom ROM afterwards.

Mike, I'm confused.
This is what I have from my device:
C:\>fastboot getvar cid
cid: HTC__001
So, my CID is HTC__001 but in the first post you say:
If it's written "HTC__001" it means you can't flash it, if your CID is "02__001".
So, I can or can't flash this radio???
Also, I'm on ARHD 5.1. is it possible to flash this radio while I wait for the 6.0 rom???
Thanks in advance mate

Mate, is your CID 02__001? Does your CID match the one in firmware.zip? If yes, then you can flash it
Yes, you can flash it while waiting for 6.0 of Android Revolution HD.

Same situation here. Also cannot open the zip (reports its corrupted). Ive tried downloading it three times each time unable to flash with the same error as this. HTC_001 here....
UPDATE - Downloaded a 4th time and it worked.

Which is the latest firmware for the One XL?

hi - I'm referring to the firmware, not an RUU or OTA.
For example, from this thread - I see that firmware ver 2.15.0000 comes from 5.08.111.2 ROM.
Is there any later firmware than the 2.15 above ? I'm using CM11 and the only way I can flash firmware is through the adb tool (I dont have windows), so want to figure this out.

The newest firmware is inside Brightstar 5.13.1540.2.
Orange 5.14.61.2 and HTC Hong Kong 5.08.708.3 both also have newer firmware than T-Mobile 5.08.111.2 but are not the newest.

Thanks for that !
Would you know how to extract just the firmware from that file so that it can be flashed by doing fastboot oem rebootRUU and
fastboot flash zip <PathToFirmware.zip>, similar to how turge extracted it for 5.08.111.2 ?
Thanks again...

Ensure s-off and supercid first.
You could create your own unofficial firmware.zip like Turge did that includes some img's that the OTA you are installing may be missing. I think the following will be easiest though.
Ensure 3.17/3.18 complete firmware or better as base is installed on phone, eg 3.18 RUU or previously updating to 3.xx/5.xx officially with HTC OTA. This can be skipped if you are certain you have already installed this or Turges 5.08.111.2 firmware.
Download T-Mobile 3.17.111.1 OTA (or similar complete 3.17/3.18):
http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_EVITA_UL_...129.32.34a_release_300591m6ejdlmoq874n7fw.zip
Open zip, extract firmware.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip <<repeat if you get error please flush again immediately. Typically this needs to be done 2-3 times. When it completes without please flush again message you can reboot the phone.
fastboot reboot
If this step is not done you run a higher risk of the device being bricked in the update.
I would suggest reboot to ensure firmware is completely written to device before moving to next firmware.zip package.
Download Brightstar 5.13.1540.2 OTA:
http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_EVITA_UL_....17.1540.4_release_342737ulobjpm2t4w05mnr.zip
Open zip, extract firmware.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip <<repeat if you get error please flush again immediately. Typically this needs to be done 2-3 times. When it completes without please flush again message you can reboot the phone.
fastboot reboot
NOTE: HTC official firmware.zip includes boot.img and recovery.img. You will need to reinstall custom recovery and your installed ROMs matching boot.img.
NOTE #2: CM install scripts do not include hboot 2.18 (it includes 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17). You would need to hand edit the updater-script for such ROM's to get them to install.
NOTE #3: The above instructions account only for the software versions listed above. Do not assume these instructions can be used for past or future firmware.zip files obtained from past/future OTA. You must always account for the fact OTA expects your phone to already be functional with a particular previous software version. OTA firmware.zip typically does not include files that are expected to already be installed on the device. Updating from unexpected software versions will likely end in a bricked phone. Whereas RUU files contain complete firmware.zip.

What is the reason for wanting the "latest" firmware? I haven't been following CM11 closely (so maybe I'm missing something here), but in general the AOSP ROMs don't require the "latest" firmware, its just the Sense 5 ROMs that act wonky if your firmware (probably radio in particular) is outdated.
So unless I'm missing something, it seems like you are going through a lot of extra work and risk of bricking the phone for no real reason. If you don't do the steps exactly right as twistedddx listed them, you run a high risk of instantly bricking the device (and the only way back is JTAG). In particular, if you don't update the hboot modules correctly (sbl1, 2, and 3 all need to be compatible), its a brick.

I agree with Redpoint, there's absolutely no benefit to flashing this firmware, only risk, unnecessary risk.

2.15 is not technically a firmware number. Its just been often posted here "2.15 firmware" as a sort of shorthand for "the firmware modules that came with hboot 2.15". Each module has different numbers (tz, sbl1, etc.), as twistedddx posted in Post #2 above. Checking the number for each module is the only way to check for what is "latest".

[FIRMWARE][GPE] Lollipop 5.11.1700.3 + hboot 1.57 (NO WIPE)

Here is the latest GPE Firmware extracted from the 5.0.1 OTA. This has the red warning removed on the HBOOT 1.57 zips

READ THESE BEFORE FLASHING
Flashing the NO WIPE zips will not touch your SD Card (But always backup just in case)
Flashing the other zips WILL WIPE YOUR SD CARD, so do a backup before flashing
You need to be s-off to flash this
Charge your phone to at least 40%
These firmwares are safe to flash but are always flashed at your own risk

Stupid question but I have to ask... Dirty flash or full wipe? I'm running stock rooted GPe ROM.

Installed, doesn't have the red warning. Just the unlocked icon.
Side note, I used to have firmware 609.401.10 this one is 5.11.1700.3 so is this an older firmware? Also, hboot is older.

the 6.09.401.10 firmware is sense firmware, 5.11.1700.3 is gpe firmware. they are both completely separate but the 5.11.1700.3 is the newer firmware but for some strange reason, htc and google still stick with hboot 1.54

if you want to flash roms, kernels, root and modifications then yes

if your running a gpe rom at the moment, then your firmware is already updated then, but re-flashing twrp is what i did after installing gpe because i needed to root

you flash twrp using fastboot, not using the stock recovery.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name_of_file.img
fastboot erase cache
