Ok now i dont get it at all. I reinstalled stock RUU (removed root + clockwork) Then I changed back to S-ON successfully. Now my software version is 1.24.161.1 Android version 2.3.3 I am trying to check for updates, and it says that my phone is up to date. However on the 18th of August, when my phone was s-off, rooted and had clockwork installed, I found that 2.3.4 update straight away, downloaded and its still on my SD card. I just couldnt install it back then and it popped up that triangle the whole time. What should I do? Just wait to get that update again or what?
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
No silent is
[HTC Sensation] fishluke:
Nothing yet here either. UK/Unbranded/Stock
[HTC Sensation] bakili:
O2 UK

Just spoke to O2, been told that O2 in process of testing 2.3.4, and update will be rolling soon for O2 handsets
[HTC Sensation] fishluke:
Hopefully that means unbranded will be out soon. Unless they had a special agreement with O2 as well...
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
Well its better than Samsung
[HTC Sensation] JamesRC:
Good to hear it'll roll out for O2 UK soon - I might regret debranding!
[HTC Sensation] Zehlek:
Hopefully Virgin Canada will be soon
[HTC Sensation] nekit14:
Guys, can anyone suggest me what I should do. Recently I installed RUU 1.24.161.1 Vodafone UK, to remove root clockwork and s-off. Now I cant find any updates for my phone. Even 1.35 to start with. Is there any way I could install them manually?
[HTC Sensation] leffep:
Got the OTA update 2.3.4 this morning

1.45.401.2

Upgraded go fine, seems to work fine (30 minutes)
[HTC Sensation] Poduy:
Have Stock 2.3.3 with Revolutionary S-OFF and root? you can follow this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16734103&postcount=342

to update OTA without that backup mess and RUU wipe..
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Asked this in the other thread too but just wondering:

Has anyone with Tmobile sensation in Canada received the update yet?!
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
Same here, UK, bought unbranded/sim free and no sign of the update yet. Quite disapointed with HTC for holding back the UK 2.3.4 update. One of the reasons you buy unbranded is to get the updates first before the carriers, I dont see why there should be a delay :mad:
[HTC Sensation] kietua:
Unbranded in NZ. No sign of update here either.
[HTC Sensation] Michelle My Belle:
I got tired of waiting and used the RUU from 'Football's thread instead.

I didn't mind the fact that I'd loose a few apps - until going to the market to re-install. Also signing in to e-mail accounts etc, again no 'biggy' for me...

Now my UK unbranded has 2.3.4 :-)

I'd advise anyone with UK unbranded Sensations to do the same - rather than wait for HTC and their obvious obligations to Vodafone, to get their arses in gear...

MMB.
[HTC Sensation] Scrupix:
No update for Singapore unbranded :(
[HTC Sensation] fishluke:
No UK unbranded yet here either!
[HTC Sensation] ohiosux:
TMoUS Alert!

I did the upgrade over WiFi, flew to a roaming country, and now have the following persistent roaming alert that I did not have during previous trips to that country.

"You have lost data connectivity because you left your home network with data roaming turned off."

Weak sauce.
[HTC Sensation] mexhex:
no update yet in the philippines, yeah i also thought having a unbranded fone gives you the updates first rather than the carrier locked ones..or maybe they do except they push it per region? the same happened to my htc legend on the froyo update
[HTC Sensation] nekit14:
Hey. What should I do in order to get the ota? I s-off ed my phone, installed clockwork and rooted my phone. Got the update but couldn't install it. Then I installed original ruu 1.24.161.1 and s-on'd. Now my phone cant even find the update.
[HTC Sensation] animaleyes76:
Got a response

"

We've been aware of this issue on Cordy. We're aware of it affecting another game using the Unity3D engine, as well as another game that uses Unreal.

We've notified our contacts at HTC, and Unity3D.

Regards,"
[HTC Sensation] halr9000:
Just updated. It is smooth like butter.
[HTC Sensation] pookguy88:
I did, Tmo Sensation on Wind
[HTC Sensation] Toysrusie:
Same here. Had any success in the last few hours, Nekit14?

We used the same RUU. Wonder if that's relevant....
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
Can it be flashed on any handset? mine is the asian version (not rooted).
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
You need to be s-off with super CID in order for it to work.
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
For UK unbranded Sensations - I'm wondering if we connect to a proxy server in Germany on our internet connections, then connect our phones via Wi-fi and search for the update, would we be able to get it now? Wouldnt The HTC server see an unbranded European Sensation connected to their server from Germany.

Or more likely it would be refused becuse the IMEI number is off a handset sold in the UK.

Cheers
[HTC Sensation] Markh2001:
HTC piss me off with this ****!!! why do i have to troll through the internet to find when the update is coming!! this ****ing annoys me, i bought and unbranded thinking updates would hit it first!

i want this update reallly badly!! htc when i spoke to them as always say sorry but we have no news about this update, WELL GET SOME ****ING NEWS CAUSE I ASKED YOU!!!!!

i guess i will wait for a few months till it comes out!
[HTC Sensation] cshih2:
No update in Taiwan where the phone is made just yet
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
appreciate it;)
[HTC Sensation] karavadjo:
My update version is:

Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2-1.35.401.1_P2

Can't instal the OTA since I'm S-OFF... :(
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Still nothing.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
1. Titanium Backup your apps

2. Flash 1.45.401.2 RUU

3. Restore apps once rooted again

Easy!
[HTC Sensation] fishluke:
No UK unbranded yet ;[
[HTC Sensation] chistery:
HTC have replied to my email asking about the update for UK Unbranded phones:

So that resolves that issue then! :mad:
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You got that reply back from HTC?!?!?!
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Doubt it, I don't think they will reply like that.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
That's why I'm asking! If I got that reply I'd be wishing to speak to a manager!!

I do think it's regional and I reckon the unbranded units will get the OTA in September personally. I don't see the point in waiting, though. Now the RUU is available just backup with TI, flash the RUU and restore the apps/data
[HTC Sensation] chistery:
I can assure you I did. I filled out a form on their web site, and Danni is replying to me. This was his first message:
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I'd get a complaint in ASAP for a reply like that. That's terrible.

The guy also hasn't a clue what he's on about
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Poor English skills too.
[HTC Sensation] bobsie41:
B.....ks! Perhaps when the big operators have finished there update then HTC will borrow it and make it available to us unbranded owners. I do hope htc don't mess up the clever operators updates first though!
[HTC Sensation] nekit14:
No no luck yet. And now I dont know even if I flash the updates should I flash 1.35 first and then 1.45 or whats the story. I wonder if I send the phone back would they do it for me, since i have s-on, no root. ?) I think the problem is with clockwork, because I installed clockwork from the guide before. Maybe it wasnt completely removed and now causes all the problems. I donk know. Did you get any luck?
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
This update is really nothing to be excited about. The only thing I noticed improvement with is WiFi. It still has the same horrible screen lag problem, and is just slow. I went back to s on just to update, and ended up going back to s off the next day. The custom roms are the only way to get good performance on the Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
No information that the phone will be updated? She clearly is withholding information or knows nothing. The UK unbranded Sensation is the European version which currently has the 2.3.4 update being rolled out country by country, starting from 12 days ago! Seems the UK is being held back to last on the roll out order... sucks! :mad:
[HTC Sensation] charmz2k2:
I'm afraid I jumped ship and ran the RUU, its a nice update :)

Unless the UK version is going to get something special, I'd recommend doing the same!
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
Just did exactly the same thing. In less than 2 hours restored all installed apps and settings. I used mybackup pro.
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
I disagree, the update improved almost evrything. Sense runs smoother and battery life is greatly increased, charging time is also better
[HTC Sensation] bob465:
I second that but didn't really see the across-the-board improvement till I did a factory reset. The only thing that I was a lil disappointed in was since I have the ACER screen that was giving me really bad icon pixilation (on black background like Astro) and white text on black background fade-out when scrolling (like Astro) improved but not completely except for native screens like Settings ...
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
Custom roms help a lot with screen issues.
[HTC Sensation] jomblass:
Anyone knows when the update will be released in taiwan?... HTC is made here in taiwan but i'm wondering why are they taking so long to release the update...sigh... I really need this update for the improved battery performance...anyone has any update?..
[HTC Sensation] chistery:
So far, the only thing we have to go on is a rumour we'll get it two weeks after the Vodafone one was released. Be interesting to see if that's accurate or not.
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
No one can confirm it :(

Bet if I run the RUU the OTA will be available right after XD

I don't want to lose all my settings etc.
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
guys I have the Asian .707 version, now I want to root and S-off which I think I can handle, now my question, once I do it will I be able to install the official European 1.45.401.1 RUU via PC right away?
[HTC Sensation] knightz01:
Still nothinfg for UK/Unbranded/Stock :(
[HTC Sensation] apmullen:
Yeah I'm in the same boat nothing,hope it comes soon

[HTC Sensation] vcoolvin:
Hi All, I may have a stupid question but wasnt sure so asking, i wanted to root my phone but because of time i couldnt get to, i could just get it to S-Off and then its at that stage nothing done after that, do i need to S-On to get this update as and when it is released here or do i have to do an S-On first, and in order to get it S-On do i have to follow the whole procedure and root it first and follow the rest of the procedure in the guide.

I hope didnt make any one angry, bought this phone just recently.
[HTC Sensation] fishluke:
My phone just flashed the new European RUU without S-OFF, am I missing something I swear someone said that you needed S-OFF for it...

Unless my phone came S-ON by luck or something, how do you check?
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
Hold the down volume rocker button + power button.
[HTC Sensation] gf7800:
Hi buddy

you do not need to S-ON in order to receive The OTA updates

you must be

-Unrooted

-On Stock recovery

So just run your original RUU , then go check for update
[HTC Sensation] slatchus:
still waiting for the update in pakistan
[HTC Sensation] fishluke:
Well I'm S-ON. Maybe I was wrong?

Yeah someone did say you have to be S-OFF, unless I was S-OFF before and it's reset to S-ON or something.
[HTC Sensation] vcoolvin:
Thanks bro, so in short i just have to wait for the update to be released here... Dunno how long that is going to take, but if it takes too long then i am thinking of continuing with the rooting of the phone and try flashing a few ROMs ;)
[HTC Sensation] vcoolvin:
I thought i read somewhere in the previous post that the update has already arrived in pakistan :confused: that made me thing it will be here soon. That is if its travelling from europe eastwards :D ;)
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
may be you have the european version?

On a side note the middle east OTA has been released, I have no idea why the asian OTA got delayed so much this time.
[HTC Sensation] gf7800:
Yeah , flash some roms and enjoy.
[HTC Sensation] fishluke:
Yeah I do have the european phone but I still thought you needed S-OFF.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Did you actually do anything to get the update?

like rooting, s-off, ...

or was it on stock rom with no changes?
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
lol no mate you don't, it's an official OTA :)
[HTC Sensation] gf7800:
Yes you can, but you need to write Super CID (after you S-off and root) ,so you can flash any official RUU :).
[HTC Sensation] fishluke:
Ah fair enough, all good then!
[HTC Sensation] Scrupix:
According to this blogger, for unlocked phones from Singapore the update 2.3.4 it will be in October :(
[HTC Sensation] muneer01_2010:
Those who got the update can they confirm that the update fix the low speaker volume ?? Thank you
[HTC Sensation] lordcloud1:
Didn't improve my speaker volume.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
I'm not desperate for this anymore. I read that it messes with the games that uses the Unity engine ie. Samurai II. I'll probably wait till it's fixed then i'll update.

Also, anyone have problems with Battleheart and Zombieville after the update?
[HTC Sensation] AlexanderAk:
I definitely do not understand what to do. Actually I S-Offed my phone, Installed

Clockwork mod.

And searching here forums for an hour I could not get the answer to following questions:

How do I update my HTC Sensation, S-OFF, with CWM to 2.3.4.

I don't know hot to get back to Original Rom,

I don't' know how to back up phone.

Will i loose Root possibility if i update?

I have some region specific font installed (it required rooted phone), will i loose installed fonts?

Only thing I know is that I am totally noob and if somebody could point me to detailed guide i would be very thankful.

Don' throw stones to me. Remember, in the beginning all of us are noobs :)
[HTC Sensation] B.Z.:
Have you seen this post at page 35?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16734103&postcount=342
[HTC Sensation] Toysrusie:
No, didn't get it to work, so took a different tack.

Ran Revolutionary to get S-Off again.

Ran SuperCID to allow me to install non Vodafone UK/Ire RUU. Both these steps are detailed HERE

Downloaded and installed RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2 from HERE

This results in the same versions as following the steps in post 342 (referenced immediately above this post).

Not quiite the same as getting the phone back to 100% out-of-the-box state but it's fully up to date and runing much better than the 1.24.161 RUU.
[HTC Sensation] JamesRC:
Not going to lie... it's quite a joke that the EU version started rolling out 14th August, then Voda UK 17th August and there is still no sign for unbranded UK handsets.

If the two week rule is right it'll be out by Sept, if it's wrong my curiosity will win and I'll have to go the RUU route!
[HTC Sensation] altugk:
Hi.

Did anyone in middle east get the ota update? I am in Dubai and nothing so far.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] reckoner_85:
yes, the middle eastern OTA is out, I'm in Egypt, but I have the asian handset, the local reseller announced it on FB and people said they've got it.
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
Agree :mad:
[HTC Sensation] nekit14:
Nice! But the thing with me now, is that I cant get s-off again now. It restarts once and then it says that the connection with the phone wasa lost. So I cant do anything. Is European RUU working fine for you ?
[HTC Sensation] knightz01:
Still nothinfg for UK/Unbranded/Stock

Is this Thursday the two weeks are up date? lol
[HTC Sensation] kajet915:
Sent from my Sensation, made from super lite HTC Clay.
[HTC Sensation] familyhousing:
Actually, I remembered incorrectly about the two weeks Vodafone exclusivity. With the HTC Legend upgrade to Froyo, I think it actually took 3½ weeks for unbranded devices to get the update, after branded Vodafone devices had it.

We may have some time to wait.:(
[HTC Sensation] jivemaster:
This is total arse. I hope we get the update soon. So unbelievable that UK unbranded gets updates last. Boggles the mind.
[HTC Sensation] fishluke:
Guys I'd just use the RUU =p
[HTC Sensation] Toysrusie:
I had exactly the same thing. Ran Revoutionary twice and it failed with the connection lost error both times. However, I noticed that after the 2nd time that it was actually showing as S-Off. The proof that it had worked was that the SuperCID steps and the EUR RUU worked fine. Maybe just try to run Revolutionary a few times and it'll eventually work?

European RUU is great. Seems very responsive and the only a few small niggles that I haven't really looked into. Swype installer won't work and GMail app seems to have reverted back to the version where you don't get option to Always Show Pictures for a recipient.

EDIT: Swype didn't work cos I was trying to download installed with Mobile View disabled. Latest Gmail v2.3.5 is only compatible with Android 2.2-2.3.3
[HTC Sensation] LeeDroid:
you can try it but chances are it will fail with a status 7 code
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
i just extract it so i see radio image hboot and so on what part change the android version
[HTC Sensation] LeeDroid:
there is a system folder and a patch folder mate
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Nothing here in Australia yet.

Anyone have a change list?
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
so what about the firmware zip obviously some of us cant use the stuff in there because it has a radio img,is it possible to take out the stuff we dont need to change like radio
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
I won't try then!

Instead I'm going to try that other thread about restoring stock recovery and get the Clockworkmod recovery P58IMG.ZIP file but replace the recovery in there with the recovery_signed.img from the 1.35.401.1 RUU. This should hopefully get me back to stock recovery and I should then be able to just do the OTA update, keeping all my apps and data.

Then put the clockwork back on.

That sound feasible?
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
the change list is the tittle of the thread 2.3.4
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
In theory, it depends how much you've changed and if you're using any custom parts

I'm going back to stock so will let you know
[HTC Sensation] LeeDroid:
sounds like a possible solution mate
[HTC Sensation] west2cool:
i just flash the firmware zip and this is the result in bootloader mode
[HTC Sensation] chrisw99:
One thing concerns me, I'm on the stock 1.35.401.1 with CWM recovery.

If I do About phone, software updates, it says "there are no updates available".

Shouldn't it be saying this update is now available, even though it would fail to update??
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
no the updates our about regions if your region have no update then it wont show
[HTC Sensation] west2cool:
i have now managed to update using the OTA zip

1.i flash back stock recovery

2.i renamed the OTA zip to update.zip

3.i then reboot in recovery mode then choose the update.zip
[HTC Sensation] jerrylzy:
Does T-Mobile S4G get the update?
[HTC Sensation] icio67:
My Sensation is S-OFF and ROOT with stock firmware.

I've found the uodate by OTA, downloaded and start the upgrade...

Result: 35 minutes with a exclamative point and blue droid.... :eek:

What I've to do????

Please help!!! :confused::confused:
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
well i just figure no point in updating if your going to flash a custom rom you will loose it anyway if the rom its self is not 2.3.4 so ill wait for devs to incorparate this in there roms
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Just doing that now - it's always the way of flashing new OTAs. I've gone completely stock to do this as it was saying no update so it must be rolling out via IMEI/Serial Number
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You can't flash an OTA on a rooted phone - you'll need to use the RUU to get back to stock and start again
[HTC Sensation] icio67:
Ok, Thanks.....

But Now I've to remove the battery for exit from this situation?
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Obviously i mean a real change list, not the name of the update.
[HTC Sensation] nekit14:
Yeah, I got it after about 3 times. Still didnt complete to s-off, but somehow it s-off'ed anyway. Yeah European works great. Ordered myself a backup battery for 1900 mAh. I am starting to like this phone now =) I wonder now will the European RUU update itself when the next update comes out. =)
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
nothing in Canada yet....
[HTC Sensation] jivemaster:
We can use the RUU without root right? I'm total stock UK.

Seems smoother but hard to tell really.
[HTC Sensation] dragona:
After downloading and installing the update, check again at software updates as there is another one. Application update, a *make more space application*
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
Samurai II doesn't open anymore.
[HTC Sensation] familyhousing:
2.3.4 downloaded and applied (at last). Bloody hell, the carousel is smooth now. Really visually nice.

I wonder why HTC don't enable the screen rotation animation like on the HTC Flyer.

Yup, here too.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It's the 3D engine in the Sensation that's goosed apparently, threads open about it already
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
I've read them. I believe Battleheart and Zombieville use the same engine? Correct me if I'm wrong. But they had problems before on 2.3.3 just like Samurai II did. But they all got updated and was working flawlessly.

I haven't seen any problems with Battleheart and Zombieville just yet...
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
Once you have installed the ota there is another update to fix the clear app cache app (no restart needed)
[HTC Sensation] bobsie41:
Not recieving update.

I have a uk HTC-WWE unbranded device and have just un-rooted it with

RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.24.401.1 and S-on ed again so that i can recieve the official updates before rooting etc. again.

There is talk on this thread of UK unbranded recieving there updates today but when i check for mine it says that i am up to date.

Does anybody have any idea why? :confused:
[HTC Sensation] scotia_rfc:
Just done both updates. Will report any issues/notable differences when i play about with it.
[HTC Sensation] jdaclutch:
Not seeing it. Does that mean I already did the update?

Finally have it. Being on holiday at Corfu roaming voda and my unbranded phone still is ! :)

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] usual_suspect:
Yeah, got this earlier just before midday here in the uk on unbranded.

First impressions,... much smoother scrolling through menu's etc, and maybe a little quicker in general. Seems to be slightly more RAM free aswell.
[HTC Sensation] jivemaster:
Yep UK update is out!! XD
[HTC Sensation] chro_7ame:
:( Sad Singapore still have not receive the update..
[HTC Sensation] chris.wilcox:
Has anyone had issues with their compass since this update? I don't recall having a problem before this ota, but now my compass is off all the time. All apps that use it are off like Google Sky Map, compass apps, anything that uses the compass. Navigation still worths great, but when moving it uses the GPS, not the digital compass.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Got it in Canada today.

battery life has extremely declined after the update!!
