Noob Flash Stock Rom Question

So bit of a Noob to the sensation, but i want to flash the most basic stock rom then let the phone do the updating. So i've s off and unlocked etc, just need to find the basic rom for htc sensation. Which appears not that easy. I am downloading RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.27.401.3_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_1

i am guessing this is the basic rom covering devices in the UK? Can anyone let me know if i have got this wrong. I want my phone to work just has htc intended, not as my operator. Sorry if this really is a stupid basic question. (NOTE i want the orginal rom not the latest)
[HTC Sensation] :
You'll find most RUUs here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1074559

If you want the latest Gingerbread, go for RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1, which is the latest before Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS).

ICS is comming via OTA these days.

switching sd cards very often

I have HTC sensation 4G. I bought a 16 GB SD micro card and also have an 8GB card. Both my cards are full with videos which I need to access often for my exam purposes. But each time I change the cards, the applications don’t run properly and I have to re install the apps. Also I doubt that frequently changing the SD card would age my phone quicker. Does anyone here have any experience with this? What is the best way to keep swapping sd cards frequently without any hassles?

Thanks for this very useful guide.

It especially helped me a lot when I noticed I was blocking the Wi-Fi antenna the whole time :P
[HTC Sensation] Snaxxor:
Long time listener first time caller.

Do I need root? All I want to do is remove some apps (stock ones) or as i've read, freeze or disable some that eat up ram. Anything to max my battery life and make my phone more mine than my operators. I'm not tottaly interested in custom roms, as I feel I would screw my phone up. Will just using the revolution S-off be enough for what i'm looking for?
[HTC Sensation] CTR01:
If I'm not mistaken but you may be able to just try and get a temporary root and then pull off the apps you dont want and then 'unroot'? S-On/Off is basically just bypassing HTC security so that you can upload custom ROMs to your phone. Please correct me if I am wrong.

comments under development pages

Hi, I am not sure if this question is appropriate to this tread and maybe silly but I have been using OrDroid Rom for a while while upgrading regularly with improvements and any time I have comments to make or let them know I am getting certain errors or problems, I cannot post on the page because I haven't got 10 post. I am knew to forum but I saw few members who had 5-6 posts altogether and they are able to post comments in development page. Am I doing it wrong (I mean, is there different way to post part from I do it here)?

Noob questions

Hello i`m new to android and just got a htc sensation ... now i don`t want to root or flash other rooms because it will void my warranty.... so the problems is i noticed the stock launcher keeps restarting sometimes when i exit a game or video and i get a bit of lag but somewhat persistent lag so i check the task killer and notice i only have 100 free ram is there anything i can do get more like maybe using another launcher will that free what sens uses ? And please tell me how to get the phone to only show my phone contacts and not mix them with the sim ones
[HTC Sensation] dayungexec:
Try unistalling that app and re-install. Restart the phone, or do a factory reset. To show the phone contacts, go into contacts, at the top should be a menu next to add contact. Select that bar and it should give you a choice of which contacts to show. Or it will do it through the menu button. Or you can set that up if you do the factory reset.
[HTC Sensation] Satsuray:
Still lagging a bit

I tried the factory reset thing and i still get some lag i think the problem is the stock launcher sens ui it seems to eat a lot of ram If i switch to go launcher will that free the ram sens uses ?

hi, i'm going to buy this device, but i've a question:

sorry for my english.

You can always put everything back to factory to install the appropriate RUU, voda for you, come back to have the device ready to process a warranty when put the S-On again.

In the various guides on the forum have everything explained.
[HTC Sensation] mumooshka:
ok here's a question for you which causes me great concern...

I bought an HTC sensation xe and since the recent update, I cannot answer the phone!

It rings... and I cannot unlock the phone by using the unlocking ring – it won't move. This is occurring 100% of the time.

I have two kids and they take an old nokia to school so we can contact one another, and I'm worried that they can't call me in an emergency

heeeeeelp!

Hey everyone, thanks for the feedback. I didn't lose a lot of stuff but ironically did lose my most recent phone contacts...(even though I backed it up).

Now, due to the upgrade, I can't find where to switch off the vibrate each time I press a letter when texting.

went to language and keyboard but it's all changed and I can't see an option. Went to message and in settings there, can't find anything.

It's just annoying , that's all..anyone??? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] T-Macgnolia:
Go into Language & keyboard, you will see a icon to the right side of Touch input that looks like a EQ icon. Touch on that and it will open up the Touch input settings, select Text input and then scroll to the very bottom and you can uncheck vibrate when typing....;)

Wifi - Realy?!

Ok, I read all the thread. I know I'm not alone and I know it sucks, but the wifi don't have any real solution?

I just bought my sensation yesterday and I'm actually writing from the airport as I go back to Brazil (where there's no htc at all).

So just to be 100% sure. Am I F..ked!?
[HTC Sensation] caiooiac:
Wifi - Not so bad...

Yeah guys, I'm really not having a good day (who likes to spend the night at the airport...) but it got a little bit better. I was actually preparing myself to loose my flight to brazil just so I could return my cell.

But with a little more research I found this:

"it should have a link here, but as I'm a new user I can't post links (what can I do?)"

and when trying to replicate the test got the same results.

So I'll leave it as it is and my night at the airport won't have been in vane.

Good night!

HTC cannot be bought here in Chile thru operators, we have to buy it online and it comes unlocked and unbranded.

I also like the Desire HD. Can anybody with HTC experience guide me please? Sensation/Pyramid or Desire HD?

I know I`m probably being a bit thick here but I just don`t get the instructions for starting the phone after it has died. I have just experienced the problem after leaving it on charge all night, it wouldn`t start.

"My Phone Died and i can't turn it back on!!! help!!

1. Download the recovery i have posted above. Once downloaded rename to remove the name of the recovery until its just named recovery.img.

2. Plug your device to a computer and run the command

adb reboot

or

adb reboot bootloader

if your device doesn't turn on, then simply pull the battery, put it back in, then redo the steps.

3. Once your phone does power on from one of those commands, reboot into android OS and put the recovery on the root of your sdcard.

4.Boot into bootloader while plugged into the computer and run the following command

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Then the problem is fixed! I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, but thats the fix."

I don`t get the bit where it says "run the command adb reboot", where do I do that. Running it on the PC in a command window obviously does nothing.

And again even though I haven`t got to this point yet how do I run "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

This is my first Android phone and only had it a few days and I am obviously struggling but any help is appreciated.After a search I have managed to get into the bootloader.

Finally got it to work. I had to download it from the net with my phone to download folder as opposed to with a pc then moving it to main root folder on SD card. Question is now what ?

[HTC Sensation] jabbermacy:
What is S-OFF?

S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. The default setting for HTC’s devices is S-ON (write protected), which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system nor can you guarantee a permanent root

[HTC Sensation] maff1989:
I believe Windows is necessary because the file you download from the Revolutionary site includes the .EXE and the .DLL's; both of which MUST be run in Windows.

Sorry, bro. :\

EDIT: If you are able to "emulate", or virtualize a Windows OS within MacOS then I'm sure it will work. Although it would be easier to follow the S-OFF procedure from a Windows-based PC.
