I think that *** LOCKED *** is going to be in use for HTC when they roll out thier unlocks...
[HTC Sensation] Yellowbrother:
unlock of what??? i see that my s-off is still there...or is that just a result of the ota 2.3.4??? anyone know if its safe to reinstall cwm???

i was s-off/cwm/rooted/supercid...i'm assuming i just need to reinstall cwm and all else is still in place???
[HTC Sensation] mystikal87:
What ROM and what version do you have on your phone Just the Stock Virgin Canada? If so, whats the version number listed under 'About Phone' ? Do you have Clockworks Recovery installed? Is your phone S-Offed? Is your phone rooted?
[HTC Sensation] Zehlek:
I am S On, unrooted, and on stock ROM and recovery. Software version is 1.35.666.1 and android 2.3.3
[HTC Sensation] christop911:
I UPDATE MY SENSATION AND NOW THE BOOTLOADER SAY LOCKED!!!

1.18.0000 :confused: why????
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
I'm on the new euro update but flashed cmw just fine with the locked banner. Since you were s-off before you updated that's why its still says s-off under locked and you can flash cmw through hboot and flash the root zip through cmw if you want root too.
[HTC Sensation] mystikal87:
Backup Backup Backup Backup !!

Backup everything you can cuz what I'm about to suggest gonna wipe everything out. Everything but the SD Card that is. But still!! Don't take chances and backup to SD and then copy to computer.

From a computer download this file

Once download is complete. Connect your phone to computer.

Under Settings -> Applications -> Development. Check the USB debugging option.

From there run the downloaded file. Should update your phone to 1.45. Then the hard part is fixing everything to the way you want it... apps, settings... the whole nine yard or 3 meters since you're in Canada :D
[HTC Sensation] mystikal87:
To yellowbrother and christop911.

If you really want that ***LOCKED*** banner to disappear just redo the revolutionary.io tool. fact is you still have S-Off...

and personally I don't like to see locked either..

After doing revolutionary's tool you will be at hboot v1.17.1111 in which will grant fastboot commands. so its worth doing it...
[HTC Sensation] bwallis:
Just got the update in new Orleans. T-Mobile stock. Very fast and smooth. Still playing with the new apps.
[HTC Sensation] Cbzeej:
There's a website using can sideload it from. Just Google search
[HTC Sensation] :
I'm stuck now...

I upgraded today. Everything went fine except for when I hit the home button, it would take screen shots?! So I decided to uninstall LauncherPro and try the sense out... I realized then why I use LauncherPro. I went to install LauncherPro and it will not come up when I hit the home button??? It's like I'm stuck with the sense now... I want LauncherPro back!

I wonder what the issue is???
[HTC Sensation] onosway:
Just updated and had the same issue. Go to your app folder and run your launcher (I ran Go Launcher). It will lead you to clear the cache for Sense and you'll get the functionality back for the home button.
[HTC Sensation] :
Thanks for the reply.

I'm confused though...

I'm trying out Go Launcher EX (Seems real nice so far. I've used only LauncherPro for the past 2 years since I've had an Android device).

Anyways, I go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications> ???
[HTC Sensation] KrisHilbun:
Ive read the entire thread... what ive read... fr3vo is currently not working...

which is apart of the steps used in s-off with revo....so ATM we cant s-off, if S-on (and currently 2.3.4)?
[HTC Sensation] cpittman:
Until someone tries it we don't know.
[HTC Sensation] Zehlek:
It say Cannot update, Model ID Error
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
If I'm 100% stock 2.3.3, shouldn't I be able to just take the .zip from the OP, rename it to PG58IMG.zip, stick it on the root of my sd card, and hboot it? Or rename it to update.zip, and run it through stock recovery? Can't seem to get either option to work... am I missing something?
[HTC Sensation] Zehlek:
That would be awesome if everyone could
[HTC Sensation] rorycs:
I have this same situation.

I previously downloaded the update and told it to save for a later installation. The file is on my SD card. How do I install it?
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
It's for http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
[HTC Sensation] Hgaara:
I am s-off, perm rooted, and running stock Rom. Can someone write a guide for people like us so that we can install this Rom?

I try installing it but it reboots, and stays stuck on a logo of the android robot which is blue and a big triangle that has an exclamation mark.
[HTC Sensation] flipmatthew:
Hey guys. I reflashed the TMOUS 1.29 RUU, and I am running stock radio, stock recovery, stock hboot (with s-off) and i am not rooted. i also changed CID to T-MOB010. I've tried the htc software update utility, but it keeps saying my phone is up to date. i've tried checkin and everything, but i can't for the life of me get the update, even when force checking. what do i do?
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
I'm simply trying to figure out how to get the .zip file in the OP to flash... since my phone won't automatically grab the update now like it did just yesterday.
[HTC Sensation] flipmatthew:
I copied the zip to the root of sd card, booted into bootloader, then recovery, then pressed all buttons at once (volume up down and power / sleep button) selected flash from zip, and it worked (with supercid)
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
So you were stock everything, including s-on, but had super cid and it worked?

Did you rename the .zip?

edit: sorry, just saw you said you were s-off...

edit 2: everytime I've tried that, whether renaming or not, I get invalid operation, and the red triangle with exclamation point... wonder if I need to get s-off first... and then I wonder if I can get s-on after...
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
Well that was it... had to have s-off to manually flash the .zip in the op. It updates hboot to 1.18.0000, but leaves s-off. So I just did what the instructions here said on the previous version (writesecureflag 3) and we're good to go. Until I decide to root again... :p
[HTC Sensation] Zehlek:
What is CID or SuperCID? How do you check
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
CID is Carrier ID - check this thread for some more info (specifically steps 4 and 5), and this thread for a list of CID's for various carriers.

You only use Super CID if you want to flash the rom of another carrier on your phone - i.e. EU's Sensation ROM on T-Mobile US's Sensation. So unless you want to do that, you do NOT need to change your CID to 11111111 (Super CID).
[HTC Sensation] rorycs:
OK, so let me see if I understand - You went S-OFF with Revolutionary and then used Stock Recovery to flash the update? Did you change the name of the update to update.zip?

If I Fastboot, then hit Recovery, then volume keys and power together to get to Recovery - if I use install from SD it fails.

What am I missing?
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
I went S-Off on the stock hboot - not revolutionary's, but I used revolutionary to get there. I'm one of the lucky ones that has to reboot the phone and run revolutionary at each fastboot reboot b/c I get the communications error. So after the second error, I have the stock hboot with s-off. Now, I don't know what would happen if you tried to run it over revolutionary's hboot, but I'm assuming that wouldn't be a problem since the .zip overwrites the hboot, but doesn't touch s-off/s-on. But I can't guarantee that...

Edit: then again, after re-reading your post, if you're trying to do it and it's not working with revolutionary's hboot, then maybe it won't work after all without the stock hboot set s-off... the software must somehow do that automatically when you download the OTA the "right" way.

I didn't have to rename it. Once I had s-off, I went into recovery, "install zip on sd card" (or however it's worded), then it goes to a new menu where you can pick the .zip - almost like ClockworkMod. Then I just picked it and it was good to go...
[HTC Sensation] rorycs:
OK, that might be the problem. I was S-OFF with Revolutionary and restored the original system image, then went S-ON again. Worked perfect.

Now when I enter recovery and update from zip, the recovery exits with an error message and does not give me the option to choose the aip file. Maybe the system restore did not complete correctly?
[HTC Sensation] _DavidWebb:
Noob alert!

Got my S4G Thursday, switched from a jailbroken iPhone, tired of EDGE internet when paying 4G prices...anywho, d/l the OTA update i received Fri morning, then discovered "rooting" and a friend lead me to xda....one question. Am I screwed for installing this update to 2.3.4?
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
It appears that if you're S-On, it won't matter, it won't work. If there's a way to get back to the stock hboot, but with s-off, I think that's what you'll have to do. Short of my "lucky" situation where Revolutionary forced me to stop at each step, I know there is a way to manually flash a different hboot, but that gets over my head unfortunately, and from what I understand can be pretty risky.
[HTC Sensation] fr0zenblood75:
Well umm not completly screwed because there is still the HTC official method but that voids parts of your warranty but well you never know someone later on might find another exploit and revolutionary can work with this update
[HTC Sensation] _DavidWebb:
haha....that kinda answers my question...but just confuses me more at the same time. I have a million questions I want to ask but I'll just do my best to stick to the threads and google and try to teach myself.
[HTC Sensation] Djmix82:
i've dl to phone from here, went to settings>aboutphone>htcupdates>checknow and still says phone up to date. What now, please help!
[HTC Sensation] rorycs:
I had the same issue, except I had downloaded the update and saved it to the SD for later installation. TMO and HTC were NO HELP in getting the update to install - but I finally got it to work so here you go...

1. Are you S-OFF with Revolutionary? If yes continue, if no you will have to use the Revolutionary Tool to obtain S-OFF.

2. Have you installed CWM and/or Rooted? If yes, you will have to download the correct RUU for TMO and bring your Sensation back to stock (this will remove CWM and Root, but it will remain S_OFF - DO NOT REMOVE S-OFF).

3. Once you have restored the system image, HBOOT will show S-OFF with the original version numbers.

4. Select Recovery and press the power button.

5. When you see the graphic recovery screen, press UP Volume and then press Power.

6. You should now see the Recovery menu.

7. Select Update from SD and press power.

8. On the following screen select Choose Zip from SD and press power.

9. Select the OTA update package and press the power button to select it.

10. It will now install the OTA update (be patient, it will reboot a few times and show a few graphic screens, ultimately it will reboot to your homescreen and show that you have updated successfully.

11. You will now be S-OFF, HBOOT 1.18.0000
[HTC Sensation] rorycs:
FINALLY I got it - di you say you went S_ON again? If so, why?
[HTC Sensation] Djmix82:
Couldn't get revolutionary to install on my laptop(windows vista), i think my laptop is messed up somehow. I will just wait for the update (keep checking daily). Thanks anyways though, really appreciate it.
[HTC Sensation] ekpyr:
Took forever to get this until someone mentioned the following:

IF you're seeing a red triangle with an exclamation point in stock recovery, press VOLUP+VOLDOWN+POWER at the same time to get to the recovery menu. Someone else had said VOLUP+VOLDOWN, but it's all three buttons.
[HTC Sensation] rorycs:
Actually, Vol UP then PWR does it (got it from HTC Tech)
[HTC Sensation] rorycs:
You do realize that you just extract it to a folder and run it right? I had an issue with it running on my Win7 -32 system, but it ran fine on my Win7 - x64 system.
[HTC Sensation] Tylormde:
Contacts issue??

Just wondering if I'm alone here.

I got the update yesterday and installed it. I did a full wipe post update cause I like things fresh and clean. After I re-loaded everything it was working great, and the today the messaging app stopped recognizing my contacts names. I wiped again and so far, so good.

Anyone else see this or am I just special?

P.s. I'm totally stock and have been always on this so device so far.
[HTC Sensation] Lord60:
this is pretty cool, but it doesn't say in the update info...

does anyone know if this addresses the terrible bluetooth signal issue?

I'll skip ALL the other fixes just to get the damned bt working right.
[HTC Sensation] Tester30:
Just to get my 2 cents in....

Started update Tmo-US showed up today.

Dono if I will loose my S-off or root. Now phone in in update mode(goofy looking Droid with exclamation mark).Pretty darn looooooong time...LOL An hour???

Will go with restart, will see what will happen...

Will update as I go through with it..

[HTC Sensation] Zehlek:
Does anyone have or know of an update.zip file for Canadian Sensation that I could flash in stock recovery
[HTC Sensation] Tester30:
Sorry, mate.

Dono of the update through ZIP. Someone will port it I'm sure.

One thing I can say, it didn't take my S-OFF... Good thing I guess!!! LOL
[HTC Sensation] Cyberdan3:
I haven't gotten the update yet... When I click check now, it just constantly says "checking" and nothing happens.....
[HTC Sensation] Tester30:
Came as a notice on the top bar. If you using any of the custom ROMs it might not show up at all. That's the latest I've read. For sure doesn't take S-OFF... Didn't check root yet..... Wifie took the phone.....BOOO....LOL
[HTC Sensation] Cyberdan3:
My wife got it on her phone. Mine has not gotten it even though I'm not rooted or on any kind of ROM.
[HTC Sensation] Tester30:
Wait...... and it will come. How many phones there???
[HTC Sensation] zylith:
WTF

o.k. I have tried everything. I was on rev. with root zip and I changed my cid to the super cid. I stayed on stock rom.

I "got" the update- never saved

I ran the ruu and went s-on- changed my cid back to T-MOB010 (the last three being numbers) Tried the update and got red triangle, did the vol up and power, got cid error.

What the Hell am I doing wrong??? I tried going back to s-off with and update-nothing- I tried the super cid- nothing...

What the hell am I doing wrong?????
[HTC Sensation] AudiHeel:
Mine didn't come up on the Notification Bar, I had to go check for it and it was available.

i'm totally out of box stock.
[HTC Sensation] Freshly_Snipes:
U shoulda used volume down
[HTC Sensation] zylith:
Got it.... and rooted... And no the Vol down button had nothing to do with it... I ran the ruu again. changed the CID twice to ensure it took (from the advice from another post) and then updated.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Wrong.

Clockworkmod recovery prevents the update from installing. Root will be overwritten anyway.
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
For anyone that has a custom recovery and can't install the update, here is a guide on how to run the update without losing all of your data using the RUU:

I wish I would have thought of this haha. I had to re-do everything once I ran the RUU and updated. Thank God for Titanium Backup. Made restoring my apps really easy.

[HTC Sensation] puiutzuusa:
ALRIGHT FOLKS...... I need to share my overall experience with my S4G, I S-OFF it and root it when Revolutionary first came out...... did tried a couple of ROMS but always came back to stock because of the lag of the custom ROMS and I totally understand that that's just the begining of developing for sensation..... but since I did that my phone constantly shuts off randomly whenever it want's or whenever I'm in the middle of something..... called T_mobile and told them about that........ they told me that that's common for S4G and I should wait for the waited update....... did went back to stock thru RUU, applied the update, rooted again..... everything went smooth...... I still have the random shut off plus my battery shows its status crazily, now it"s full- shuts off- press power, comes back on with low battery-shuts off- turn on again, has 1/2 full status.

What to do???? need help.....
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Has anyone noticed videos being using the .mp4 container instead of the .3gp after the update?

My wife took some video this morning and I was copying my media to my PC today and realized that that the videos she took were in .mp4 instead of .3gp on my Sensation.

I went into camcorder properties and didn't see anything about changing the output format.
[HTC Sensation] jdaclutch:
No OTA in Troy, Michigan :( Just exchange my g2x for the sensation earlier today.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Just DL it from one of the countless members here. It spread like the plague in a matter of hours.

Be sure to remove CWM and root status. (Flash back to the stock ROM if you are rooted and S-OFF). I did it, and it was worth the trouble.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] jdaclutch:
running everything stock, would you send me a direct download link? and the method to install it please? I'm new to this phone. just exchanged my g2x for this sensation 2 hours ago. Thanks in advance.

Had anyone seen an improvement in battery life and screen response? Just wondering... Haven't had time to update....
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
I've seen a pretty noticeable improvement in battery life and WiFi signal. Also seems a lot smoother and more reactive. I'm completely stock with s-off, cwm recovery, and root. Not a bad OTA overall. I still remember the OTAs from the G1 and the lack thereof, so a few months after its been out isn't too long considering.
[HTC Sensation] krazyjase:
A couple nights ago, I got a notification that there was an ota update ready for my T-Mobile Sensation, but I chose to cancel it then to do it later because I wanted to sleep. When I woke up in the morning and went to check for updates in the settings menu, it said that my phone was up to date. So now when I check for the update it always does the same thing. Any tips on how I can get the update?

-Jason
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
well it looks like carriers are rolling it out earlier than unbranded versions...
[HTC Sensation] deathsmercy:
Iam having a problem installing the update it just sits in the download screen with the ! , my phone is rooted and soffed but other then that it still stock. Any solutions?
[HTC Sensation] MonkeyK:
My experience:

I've been running stock (and s-on), waiting for this update.

I received it last week, ran it, and was disappointed. I saw no improvement in WIFI or battery. Performance may have bee an bit better.

Since my hope has been primarily for better WIFI, I decided to move to Android Revolution HD 3.0 ROM. Loaded it (lots of fret, little pain) last night, and everything about the phone is better.

My update process(which doesn't really belong here except that it shows that S-Off definitely works after the OTA update, even if you didn't have it first)

1) added zips for

----Android Revolution 3.0

----Revolution SuperWipe

----ROM Cleaner 2.2

----HTC Setup Wizard Remover 4.0 (from the Rom Cleaner thread)

2) Ran Revolutionary S-OFF, worked great (just choose HBoot 1.18.000)

3) Installed Clockwork Recovery

4) Ran Factory wipe

5) Ran Revolution Super Wipe

6) Ran backup

7) Ran Android Revolution

8) Ran ROM Cleaner

9) Ran backup

10) Started phone, configured it.

11) Let google reinstall apps

12) Ran HTC Setup Wizard Remover

13) Reinstall Amazon App Store and the apps I want from it

14) Reinstall GameLoft Games.

15) Enjoy my phone at the best it has ever been.

Weak sauce!

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] mobilehavoc:
Confused, what are you backing up in " 6) backup" step since you wiped the phone before!?!?
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I'm seeing a significant improvement in battery life. I would typically go to bed with 50%, now it's closer to 70%.

I'm running pure stock with ADW EX tweaked for speed. Response before and after the update is essentially instant, so I don't see a difference, but it's pretty hard to improve instant.

GPS lock time seems much quicker (was fast, now faster), but GPS tends to vary somewhat day to day, so time will tell if this improvement is real. Also I haven't seen any mention of GPS being patched, so could well be just coincidence.
[HTC Sensation] MonkeyK:
Backup my system after the TMO OTA 2.3.4 update. I think that there are ROMs that already provide this, but it didn't hurt me to be able to restore to the last point at which I evaluated the phone.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
just wait it out. it took 2 days for the popup to appear for me again
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Try dialing this: *#*#2432546#*#*

Worked for me.
[HTC Sensation] LiLbear:
Got the update, now when recording video or using the camera, the screen times out...how annoying. Whoever thought of doing that and was thinking it's an improvement, can really go jump off a tall building. I might just sell the phone, that's how annoying it is. I'll be happier if I go back to my 3GS.
[HTC Sensation] jparity:
Got my ota today. I tried *#*#checkin#*#* last night without success. Tried it again today and it worked.

Home screen scrolling is noticeably smoother than before. It want slow before, but now it's more fluid. Not sure about battery life yet. Wifi reception seems to be marginally improved. Now it allows me to hang on to my wifi when I'm in the bathroom. Lol.

Also glad that they fixed the blurry home icons. But the scroll bar still lacks AA.
[HTC Sensation] picachux:
Not sure what you mean, The screen shuts off while recording video and stops the recording?

I just recorded a video of my niece putting a zagg on the MyTouch 4G I sold her. Video was 4:56 long and the screen never shut off, Recorded in 1080P.

Revolutionary works for stock+OTA

I was stock out of the box.

I installed the 2.3.4 OTA update (via OTA).

I ran Revolutionary today to achieve S-OFF (yay! it works)

Installed Clockworkmod, rooted via Recovery.

I couldnt find this info in the thread, so here you go. If you are a noob or you already installed the OTA, then you can still get S-OFF and root.

I ran tBackup for the first time (on this phone) today.

Feeling very satisfied.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Glad this has been confirmed!

[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Yea, that's what I was thinking, give the experts here time to ensure its "safety" before installing :D .
