> unclear on the process of running the ruu.exe needed to get back to stock if I need to send in for warranty. Where do I find my correct ruu.exe?

You need to dump all your ROMs before wipe. CWM can dump System; the issue is about dumping Recovery; I don't know if Revolutionary makes a backup of Recovery before pushing CWM in. I have been paranoid, and refused letting Revo install CWM. I used Fastboot to backup and put CW.

The good RUU *MAY* be found on your service providers website.

Don't forget that the good RUU is not enough; you need to S-ON afterwards. And that's complicated and dangerous part.

> Can I pull a file using adb to find the proper code?

adb push file

goes into sdcard by default, optional destination can be given.

> how do I check the md5

depends which one. After download, just run

md5sum doanloaded.file

and it will compute it for you. But in many cases the software is aware about MD5 and will check it for you before starting work.

> I was quite proficient at flashing my Captivate but the Sensation has a very different method for flashing and I definately don't want to brick my new device.

S-OFF is, in the facts ... cracking. You are craking a secured product. You are attacking your own phone. You are braking in, and, if you do it on a phone which is not yours, you are even braking laws in almost all countries. You are breaking your phone contract, and the T&C you accepted the first time you started the phone. There is always a risk.

I have asked to author, and last week we had over 800 successfull stories, and 150 failures; failures are at 95% people not reading correctly, and just not doing things as said; failures always end up in S-ON phone, and there is no known brocked phone ATM using Revolutionary method; not even when doing it bad. We have had 3 nearly-bricks by trying to revert back to S-ON.

Remeber: we are attacking secured softwares !!! We are all outsiders.

Follow the guide to the letter, walk in feetmarks, and you will have the same result as 800 people before you.

pretend it's S-ON, and call your local HTC support line; HTC *should* provide langage packs. I have installed some on older HTC phones. But, in short, what you need (and this is quiet stupid IMHO) is to activate an arabic keyboard layout; not tested, but IIRC it should load the arabic dic as well. Go in Input and keyboards.

> How can I make the device S-ON?

Yes. Very dangerous.

> What I want is turn the device S-ON to install the update to support Arabic language.

Are you sure that what you want is what will work ?

I personaly just think that reverting to S-on will let the same message come in.

I hardly see how keyboard leyouts and dics could be related to S-OFF; they more probably depend on which ROMs you are running.

HTC Sensation received July 27th 2011 (First HTC). Cracked Fre3vo 28th. Craked S-OFF via Revolutionary 30th with success on first attempt. LeeDrOiD 1.2.

If you need to type letters that are not on the virtual keyboard, install Gingerbread + LP.

S-OFF is not LeeDroid. Save your Recovery partition before installing ClockWorkMod.

The Latest CWM is not 4.0.1.5, but 4.0.1.4 *re*-downloaded from the old link: life time anger agains the web-admin who have put fresh content under an old link.
