Sensation XE ( LE ) beats audio

Hello good evening.

In Spain Forum HTCMania friends have become the most sensation to sensation beat xe with audio. Ruu is the same but the LE version and it works great.

We have a specific tutorial to convert the sensation to XE.

I don´t put the link.

Sorry for the google translation but it is because my groin is very poor.

Greetings.

[HTC Sensation] bobsie41:
Assuming that you're super cid, run the 1.50.401.1 RUU and when this is complete and your device is set up, copy the ota zip to your sd card.

Re-boot into bootloader and apply update zip (no need to rename).

S-off is maintained and you can re-root your device. ;)
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
That was EPIC! I was about to quote it myself. Sorry, not laughing from his English, its Google translate fail.

Still. EPIC!

I'm only interested if this new update fixes that annoying "Power button" issue that I got after updating to 2.3.4 GB?

Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] RolandCruise:
Hey guys,

I'd like to update my stock S-ON Sensation with this OTA zip...will it be possible to use the official RUU 1.50.401.1 to go back to gingerbread if I remain S-ON?

And, do you still confirm the only language in this update is english?

Thanks a lot ;)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Anyone received the XE OTA yet? ;)
[HTC Sensation] RolandCruise:
I put the package on the root of the microsd and booted while holding the volume down button, then I selected recovery but after few seconds a red triangle on a phone icon appears...as I already said, I am totally stock 1.50.401.1 and S-ON. Where am I going wrong?
[HTC Sensation] bobsie41:
When you get to this stage press volume up and power (i think if i remember correctly!) then you should be in stock recovery.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
But you need Super CID to run it in stock recovery - without it you'll get the 'Status 7' error
[HTC Sensation] bobsie41:
Eddy, did you have any problems obtaining root after upgrading?

Everything works fine here apart from this. :confused:

I've eventually managed to flash superuser after several attempts but market superuser is force closing on me and apps are unable to gain root access. :mad:
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
You guys wouldn't listen, would you? Just wait for either custom Rom or ota.

It's been said multiple time, this file is not for flashing from recovery but from bootloader.

Sent throught the wormhole from my CoinInserted Sensation OG.
[HTC Sensation] bobsie41:
What's with the attitude?

I've flashed everything correctly through the bootloader and everything is fine apart from root issues. Is this a big deal to you? Obviously i made sure i knew what i was doing before installing this so i can return my device to whatever i wish if necessary. I supect that htc may have implemented something to prevent root access but i'm probably wrong of course.

By the way, this is an excellent update running totally stock with s-off, perhaps you should try it! ;)
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
It wasn't directed at you at all. I apologize if it offended anyone. It's just that it has been said multiple times not to do it if people don't know how to, but they are still at it.

[HTC Sensation] bobsie41:
No problem just ignore me :rolleyes:

Few drinks last night and didn't sleep well.

I was looking forward to this and now i'm having trouble gaining root access everything else running very well. :confused:

I don't suppose that you have any ideas as you appear to be more knowledgable than me? :D
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
All went well for me, just making a new custom ROM as I did with the stock XE ROM a while back. Using my own system dump as well so all my own work! BOOM!
[HTC Sensation] nailerr:
I do not see Status 7 on mine, fresh back from HTC for some warranty work. I'd previously rooted and unlocked it, though everted to RUU defaults before sending it in.

So untouched EU Sensation here, all I got was an operation error and reboot. Have not tried since then as I imagine the wait for OTA will not kill me. Much.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Yeah, same thing. If you had Super CID it would work (did for me)

Just making my ROM at the moment
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Ermmm, no, rooting is one thing I never done since initial revo run. After that, just manually pushed recovery and flashed pre rooted Rom. I'd speak to Eddy, I bet he'd share his rooted stock Rom.

Just finishing up the ZIP and will get it online when I'm back from my long weekend away (missus Mum's 60th Birthday you see ;) )
[HTC Sensation] Electronic Punk:
Have they posted any other info on the XE version?
[HTC Sensation] ilikewatchingtv:
I'm also struggling to get root - I'm an Elevate user, received the official OTA, and just can't get root. This is the first time I've tried to root an official ROM - previously I have always used pre-rooted ROM's - does anyone have any ideas?

EDIT:

Just to add some details, - my phone was S-off, with CWM and a custom ROM. In order to receive the OTA from HTC I ran an RUU to take my phone to 1.3.401.1, then allowed it to take OTA updates to bring it up to 1.50.401.1 - it then took the update to 3.32.401.3 with no problems.

Since it took the update I have reinstalled CWM and downloaded su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip - when I run the zip it appears to install fine, but I still don't have root.
[HTC Sensation] bobsie41:
I've never had a problem rooting RUU installs including ics leaks but this one will not have it!

su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip flashed fine but nothing can gain permissions including updated superuser app from the market which says 'unable to get root.'

Any help would also be much appreciated.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You're all using an ancient SU package - it's not even for ICS!!!

Try this one:

http://goo-inside.me/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
[HTC Sensation] ilikewatchingtv:
Just tried that and it started to install then:

E:Error in /sdcard/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip (Staus 0)

Installation aborted.

EDIT - after trying to install SU several times without rebooting in between it was successful - thanks for the help!
[HTC Sensation] bobsie41:
Thanks eddyos you're my hero :D
[HTC Sensation] Electronic Punk:
Not sure why this version has a typo on UK language that older versions did not have.

Settings... More... and we are presented with the option to enable Aeroplan mode. Perhaps its some new trademark for turning the radio off.

So where to put update.zip on my sd to install this on Stock Sensation, 1.50.401.1, S-ON, cid 032?
[HTC Sensation] lebighack:
super-cid before ota

hi guys,

just to let you know:

i´m on a german t-mobile sensation (cid tmob_101). did supercid months ago and everything was fine.

now when i installed the 1.50.401.1 ruu everything went easy. but i couldn´t install the ota via stock recovery because of an error status 7.

i still had supercid 11111111 when checked via fastboot, BUT when device was booted and i check via adb shell getprop ro.cid i got tmob_101 ????

so after reading a bit all i did was super cid AGAIN from fastboot and then double checked from adb shell.

seems after putting a new ruu on the device we have to super cid again to write the cid in build.prop.

after these procedures ota installed fine and i´m happy :-)

thx for reading!

Not that I can see. I haven't heard of anyone using the 1.73.401.1 software on a UK unbranded XE, we're all on 1.73.401.4!

I've sent jason a message via Twitter, but I don't know if this is beyond his control.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I mentioned it on Elevate but not had a chance to see if there is a reply yet
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
one bug thats still present that im wondering if someone with elevate can mention:

Exchange Activesync, if you change the email sync interval it is lost on reboot... really annoying!
[HTC Sensation] Topgun7405:
No ICS for sensation XE sofar

I have a dutch unbranded XE and also on 1.73.401.4

I have also sent a DM to Jason via Twitter but no reponse sofar. Also sent a message to Elevate moderator but also there no response sofar.
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
1.50.401 is not even ICS (right?)...it kinda weird that the OTA works on this one but not on the latest leak...[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
It's not weird at all. The update PATCHES the 1.50 system. You can't patch something that's incompatible or has been changed do to LEAKED software. The software for 1.43, 2.08, 1.73, 3.20, and so on is different so they can't be PATCHED with the same update. The files for this update to PATCH don't exist or have been changed in those builds. Pretty easy to understand!
[HTC Sensation] craig1965:
Ok just an update on last night regarding the problem I had after patching over 1.50 I couldn't sign into HTC sense and after every reboot I would keep getting the android is upgrading referring to my apps that were already installed prior to upgrade

Did a factory reset and everything is sorted now
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Nice one. We'll just have to wait and see what happens now. :)
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
For XE users on elevate, you know that using root explorer you can hack the build prop file to give it the fingerprint of the one needed for FOTA? the FOTA server reads only the fingerprint in tue build.prop :)
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
You'll need to be rooted I guess?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You need s-off and super cid - well that was enough for me anyway
[HTC Sensation] Haba1205:
Whatever i try to do i get

--Invalid Operation--

my phone is stock, s-on, unrooted running 1.50.401.1, cid HTC__032.

read this whole thread and couldnt find where i'm going wrong.

any help appreciated :)
[HTC Sensation] stewarta13wsb:
I posted earlier today (the day it was supposed to be here) to see if anybody with an XE had received the update. So far the replies are all no.

Seems the issue with version .1 or .4 is maybe causing a problem? Only Sensations so far :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You need s-off and I also used super cid as well
[HTC Sensation] dmcb123:
there is a thread in the dev section with the ota as a flashable zip
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
Yes, but the update will not happen even if it downloads. The updater script checks the checksum values of file before applying patches and it will fail on each and every file.
[HTC Sensation] Topgun7405:
Reply from Jason Dunn

Just got a reply from Jason on Elevate and thought to share it with you:

Quote Jason:

I'm doing my best to figure out what's going on. The team who's coordinating the ICS trial is based in London, and they're coordinating with Taiwan (where the FOTA severs are controlled from). So it's unfortuantely a little difficult to get the right person answering the right question. I'm quite baffled as to why it seems Sensation owners got it, but Sensation XE owners haven't.

Really sorry about this guys - I wish I had answers, but I don't yet. I've sent yet another email to the people running this, asking what's going. When I hear back, I'll let you know.
[HTC Sensation] Gandalf Greyhelm:
Pocket-lint are reporting they've got the FOTA for the XE:

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/44739/htc-sensation-xe-ice-cream-sandwich-review

Confused? I know I am!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
There is an original stock XE RUU out in one of the threads out there. Flash that then you can recieve the OTA. I haven't got it before people ask, I'm not on elevate
[HTC Sensation] Haba1205:
Thank you. It just seems odd to me that htc elevate team expects that their users to be s-off and super cid... :)
[HTC Sensation] west2cool:
Have anyone with an xe receive the OTA yet.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
No because they haven't got the correct software version, if you flash the RUU in the dev thread then it can be received
[HTC Sensation] west2cool:
I'm not on elevate was jus looking for Someone to share it.
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Can this be done on stock XE's though? I don't want to root etc just for this.
[HTC Sensation] Haba1205:
this is how i did it on stock sensation.

you must meet next conditions: software 1.50.401.1, stock recovery.

first, you need to s-off via revolutionary method.

there is guide in developers forum.

no need for super cid if your sensation is stock EU. (401)

then you enter stock recovery and update OTA zip you've put on sd card previously.

after a few minutes your phone is updated to ICS and remained s-off :)
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
I'm on an XE though.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Then install the 1.73 RUU :)
[HTC Sensation] jureca:
Cid in Europe that used to update the htc sensation XE?, Thanks
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You only need s-off and the like to manually flash the ota file. If you're stock then you'll get it eventually if you're on elevate
[HTC Sensation] Haba1205:
not on elevate but updated sucessfully :) wrote a quick guide a few posts up.
[HTC Sensation] nailerr:
Gave it a go, but must say for those wondering that without stock recovery it is not likely going to work. I met the criteria listed by Haba1205 except that I was using ClockWork Touch Recovery. Updated fine but could not boot anymore.

Went back via nandroid.

Has anyone noticed that on the 3.32.401.3 the screen randomly wakes up, after few seconds dims up, but never turns itself off?
[HTC Sensation] lexorcist:
Yeah the original file would be great!
[HTC Sensation] nailerr:
For those not too into bricks let me issue a gentle reminder: Might happen.

I decided to just try and force the issue (knowing the risk) and pushed it through CWM Touch. This was not a happy ending as I lost access to recovery and OS!

Stuck with only access to HBOOT I flashed a 3.x firmware via SD card/HBOOT which sort of made things better in that I could access my recovery again. Before doing the smart thing and restoring a nandroid backup I decided it was safe to flash again, I mean, why not? Well this time I lost access to the lot of it and could no longer flash the same firmware to help matters.

Using FastBoot I got Revolutionary to push CWM Recovery back on, though it could not understand the backups from Touch. Going through the RUU to restore the phone I again had Revolutionary push CWMr and patched root via zip. Booted into phone, setup the two step security with Google, got BusyBox and RomManager ...

... Flashed ClockWorkMod Touch Recovery and .... NOPE! I can no longer use CWM Touch on my phone. I have stock rooted Gingerbread again but somehow the background image suggesting the recovery from ICS. Except it does not work and just reboots over and over.

So going back to the latest non touch ClockWorkMod Recovery I finally restored me last nandroid backup and all is mostly well.

So just saying. If you are here asking questions like how to install a zip update, perhaps just wait for now! I went into this with moderate understanding, and getting out of it was fiddly.
[HTC Sensation] mwl1119:
I have the HTC Sensation though Cincinnati Bell.

Everything about the phone seems to be unbranded however my firmware version (1.46.422.2) is different than any I have seen mentioned. I have not yet rooted it as I am expecting to get the OTA however this is my first phone on this carrier and I am not sure how they are at pushing out updates.

My question is if I were to get the OTA.zip file could I flash it from recovery or would I have to wait for a carrier specific version? Or I would I be better off rooting and flashing from cwm?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
This ota is for European unbranded handsets so is not for your phone. You have to wait for your carrier to release it
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Re the Euro XE's not receiving the ICS update yet. Jason from HTC elevate sent me a message, no news as such but at least we're not forgotten about.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
That sucks!

Finally got the OTA to .5 so currently running the latest version. Going to release a stock rooted ROM later this evening probably - depends if my kitchen PC decides to run properly!! :D
[HTC Sensation] dublinz:
Same here...
[HTC Sensation] jureca:
Some may respond,thank.
[HTC Sensation] Trekest:
Can you please share it? I'm looking for it too.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Here's the OTA file to go from .3 to .5

This is NOT a full ROM (it's only 6Mb-ish) and is to patch 3.32.401.3 - IT WON'T WORK WITH ANYTHING EXCEPT THE ORIGINAL SENSATION - IT'S NOT FOR THE XE

You need to be S-OFF and using the stock recovery to flash this. Super CID isn't needed if you're HTC__001. No support from me other than posting this file

How to Install OTA:

1. Download OTA file

2. Rename it 'update.zip' (not update.zip.zip)

3. Put on root of SD card

4. Boot phone into HBOOT

5. Select recovery

6. When at the screen with the ! hold volume up and press power

7. Select 'install update.zip from SD card'

8. Press power to select

I just downloaded the package (even if I'm using mike's stock odexed .5 ICS...), but after checking the md5 I got this 7A538F38AAAE4FF704F9AB27C1B2FFC2 instead of the one you posted...is this a problem?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Yes, as they should match

EDIT: Thought I'd check and I'd put the wrong md5. The one you have been getting is correct, the one I'd posted was for the .3 OTA file - sorry!!
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
Still here lot of messages about steeling of firmware and installing to devices not in Elevate. But what I'm missing is information about HTC stock firmware itself. How it is working? Are there some major problems found? How many bugs are there. It would be fine to know some information about it to estimate what would be next steps (how many rounds on stock rom updates we could expect) and also the most important - ETA for distribution to public. ..

Are there someone in Elevate who is able to write here some review/summary for it ?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Only issue I've found is the blatant spelling mistake in Settings - they've put 'Aeroplan Mode' instead of 'Aeroplane Mode'

Other than that it seems nice and stable - can't really say more than that!
[HTC Sensation] RolandCruise:
The italian spelling for Aeroplane Mode is ok.

What I found annoying is the not working zoom out through pinch that shows the open window in the internet browser. It was useful... :confused:
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I use Dolphin HD so haven't noticed that one
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
Perfekt .. So do you feel (again it is just speculation) that .5 version is real Release candidate and we could expect rolling out in next few weeks ?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Well, yeah...it's a release-keys ROM so it is official but whether they update it again before the 'proper' release I don't know. It would be nice to have the right spelling!! :D
[HTC Sensation] Electronic Punk:
'Develop option' also seems gramtically lacking somehow too :p

Are these the kind of things Elevate users can push? I feel this could be our last real update for the Sensation (distant 4 rumours aside) so it would be really nice if it had a bit of polish. (the shiny kind, not more people from Poland)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Especially seeing as how stock ICS says 'Developer Options'!!! I've mentioned the spelling issue and hardly no one has picked up on it - most of the discussion is why the XE hasn't had it yet!!

I'll try and get in touch with the Mods to raise it higher
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
When we are talking just about typos in UI we are on very good state ... So now just wait what would be the next step .. Either new patch or just final OTA .. Thursday - Friday were always "release" dates (leaks or Elevate OTAs). But for final I would expect it would be some Mon-Tue to save costs of infoline in weekdays in case of troubles. So my speculated OTA release days are (13.3 - not the best one ;), 20.3 or 27.3 ..) ...
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
Some issues with it, exchange won't save settings, neither will sound settings on reboot
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
No issues with sound here, but don't use Exchange so not tried. I did do a full wipe after flashing an update mind - not that that should have any effect but as it's not my daily device I don't mind wiping it

If u cnage the update frequency then reboot does it stick?
[HTC Sensation] craig1965:
I'll have to check I just looked it was set on 15 mins where I like mine on push give me a min
[HTC Sensation] Hawke84:
