[HTC Sensation] mnaeh:
I got Sensation recently and I am on 1.45.401.2 (stock). Reading all this I wonder will I get an update?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You need the 1.50.401.1 first
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
If it is stock the only cure is patience ... We have to wait for HTC decision what will be in next spread wave of OTA updates and for whoom .. I don't have any internal infos etc and I think nobody here has it including Elevate members. Originaly I have speculated for past Thursday as next release day but nothing has happend - so sometimes in next days .. Again Thursday? .. BTW is it intereresting that since 1st wave of OTA distribution there are no RUU leaks? I think it is confirmation that previous leaks were "leaks" ;)
[HTC Sensation] mnaeh:
But I wonder how can I obtain that since it came out of the box, completely stock, with the version I mentioned? Are you sure that I need the 1.50.401.1 since it hasn't been pushed to my phone yet and the ICS will install completely new OS anyway?

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:13 PM ----------

Isn't it always? ;) I am patiently clicking "check for updates" many times a day :D Thanx for keeping me optimistic!
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
You have just 2 options.. 1st is waiting and the 2nd is make your phone 1.50.401.1, S-Off - revolutionaly as written in EddyOS manulal and manual update to already distributed .5 version..

No info from HTC about next distribution as I've wrote before..
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
OTA updates always require a set version to run - in this case you need to be on 1.50.401.1 to be updated to ICS

I'll see if I can find the correct OTA for you but I have a feeling flashing the RUU will be easier (although you will obviously lose your data)
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
Still no news regarding the WI-FI problems?

(Maybe I should start a new thread about this issue - kinda hard to talk about 500 issues in one thread)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Only seems to be XE users having issues, all works fine on my original Sensation
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
Thats not true. I got a Sensation (not XE) myself, and I know of 6 other Sensations with the same problem.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Well I have no issues, but then again I did a factory reset after the update - never had an issue
[HTC Sensation] RolandCruise:
"Normal" Sensation here too and no problems... ;)
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
Yup, its "only" some phones that have the issue...
[HTC Sensation] pietroSV:
I have original Sensation, too. No problems. If "some" pieces have issues, that can be. It's normal to report it to hTC support if your piece is in warranty
[HTC Sensation] DTGbaby:
XE here and no WIFI problems. When I first installed the update the phone was slow, appeared to be on the verge of crashing on most operations and wouldn't connect to my vodafone sure signal. I did a factory reset and everything is good as new. People could try factory reset to see if it fixes their WIFI problems. It could also be related to the channel your router uses, try selecting a channel below 10 and see if it helps.
[HTC Sensation] zipvenus:
I do not know what carrier you are using but I use FaroyaTele and Sim card of this carrier has some issue I did change a new simcard though with the same number and still no wifi so later on I put my thai simcard and vodafone (foroyar) on (not at the same time of course ) and WiFi works great right away, so I do not know for sure what is a real problem. The carrier, the simcard but wrote to htc about it and waiting for them ti write back.
[HTC Sensation] D F:
Sensation here, no problem either.

Guys, I'd like to connect my phone to TV (or stick via mini USB to USB adaptor) and I was wondering of I could use a mini USB tot HDMI cable, without the charger? Must the carger be connected too, because the phone needs that power while connected to TV, or it only needs it to continously charge? Thank you!
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
Yes, I just tried the same. Tried with a danish sim card and a Vodafone sim card and it worked with both!

How on earth can a sim card affect the WIFI?!?!
[HTC Sensation] zipvenus:
But can the carrier (foroya tele) be the case?
[HTC Sensation] edivalentin:
video players not playing audio after ics update

i updated my sensation to ics the ota version ( first i modified my cid to sweden cid)

now my video player doesnt work with audio on the same movie that in 2.3.4 stock rom played just fine.

need help
[HTC Sensation] mnaeh:
Thanx for the info. It would be great if you could find the correct OTA, as I understand it would preserve my data, right? If not the RUU is a way to go. And do I need to be S-OFF in both cases (I know for OTA file but do I have to be S-OFF for RUU also?)

And one more question if you have time: will HTC's official bootloader unlocking method do the same as revolutionary in this particular case (I know revolutionary will add a nice recovery). Just to add that I don't worry about warranty :)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
With regards to HTCs unlock method - DO NOT USE IT!!

It's not the same as Revo's S-OFF so use that

No luck in finding the OTA as yet - I need the full file name to be able to find it (which might be hard now)
[HTC Sensation] mnaeh:
Eddy, thank you very much for the effort. If you manage to find the OTA it would save me since I guess it wouldn't delete my data.

And one more thing. If I use RUU (from your tutorial thread) do I need to be S-OFF as well?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
To flash the OTA file manually, yes you need to be S-OFF

To get it 'officially' then it shouldn't matter
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
Yes, some way or another the carrier is causing the WiFi not to work.

Føroya Tele are aware of the problem and are in contact with HTC about the problem.
[HTC Sensation] ypsmav:
Hi guys,

Have any other country reported to have received the official OTA? only Scandinavia?

We are officially now at the end of march, and checking 3 times a day if the OTA arrives...
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Still got 10 days 'til the end of March...
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
We are all waiting for ongoing waves of upgrades. I hope that there will be different version than for Scandinavia+UK. The last one has some errors inside.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
OK, lets clear things up here...

Although the update is (apparently) only going out in the Nordic region it IS THE FULL OTA FOR ALL EU UNBRANDED MODELS

If you check the CIDs it accepts in the OTA file you'll see it has the following:

modelid: PG5813000

cidnum: HTC__001

cidnum: HTC__E11

cidnum: HTC__N34

cidnum: HTC__203

cidnum: HTC__102

cidnum: HTC__405

cidnum: HTC__Y13

cidnum: HTC__A07

cidnum: HTC__304

cidnum: HTC__032

cidnum: HTC__016

mainver: 3.32.401.5

hbootpreupdate:1

This means if you are running 1.50.401.1 and have ANY of those CIDs then you will get the update once HTC push it out to your phone
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
Hi,

Can some with working WIFI and ICS test if WIFI works without any sim card?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] mrveiss:
Finaly someone noticed the problem with the time zone, this problom consists in all the custom ICS roms!!!!
[HTC Sensation] mnaeh:
Couldn't wait :) I installed 1.50.401.1 using RUU from your post (I am still S-ON) and after that OTA appeared automagically :)
[HTC Sensation] lonelykatana:
My check for software update thingy is broken! Yay :D

It just keeps looking, all day long...

Anyone else having that problem?
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
cidnum: HTC__001 here still nothing :(
[HTC Sensation] Otmin:
Heh, i saw "nice" message today in russian htc twitter - officially update didnt start yet, and that update in EU is a mistake O.o

twitter.com/#!/HTC_Ru/status/182225857845276672
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
That is what I'm still talking about.. Initial Scandinavia+UK waves were just another steps of "elevate" programm and now HTC shall be preparing final base version for other regions. They were several days before SGS2. Now I hope that this//next ?Thursday? will start with new distribution wave...(also with patch to previous version).

I think there are no new regions with this version now - so it was paused till solving major issues found.

Elevate members: can you send what problems are discussed on Elevate site to estimate progress of development ..
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
We're not meant to discuss things on Elevate outside of Elevate...Mods there aren't too happy
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
That's correct ... Just wait... wait ... wait :) and enjoy interim version.. I've asked just to know more about kind of errors discussed there. Just cosmetic typos or there are serious topic in discussion .. 5, 10, 100 problems ?? :) Or just an speculated opinion about ETA for next available version for Elevate community..Soon? (week, day, hour ...) ..

Nothing that we have to know. As of 1st sentence - wait ...
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
Anyone, please?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Works for me, but I don't have an XE
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
I don't have XE either. So you did try without any sim card and the WIFI worked just fine?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Yep, no issues at all
[HTC Sensation] Gruntplace:
Will I get OTA update

Hi,

I have an O2 Ireland Sensation XE which I have rooted, S-off and SuperCID.

Will I get the official HTC OTA update when it is released in Ireland or will I have to wait until O2 put their crap on it and release it?

By having SuperCID, am I debranded right? So I should get HTC release? Or do I have to Flash a Stock Rom?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You're still o2 branded as the ROM is branded. To be unbranded you'd need to flash the 1.73.401.4 RUU

You should be fine with S-OFF but Super CID is also a bone of contention as to whether it's important or not. The OTA doesn't list the Super CID as an accepted CID for the update
[HTC Sensation] Gruntplace:
Thanks

So should I change back to HTC_001 as the CID?

Also, I downloaded

RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.2_Radio_10.58.9 035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_215830_signed.exe

because it is a Sensation XE but wasn't sure how to flash that ROM as the .exe didn't not show up on my SD card in Recovery. Previously when I flashed a ROM it was from a zip file. Any tips on where I am going wrong with that? Do I need to create a zip of the .exe file? I tried that, could see the zipfile but when I selected install it would not work. Is that because of SuperCID?

Going to change to HTC_001 and try it

Your help is greatly appreciated
[HTC Sensation] droidlucifer:
ICS OTA Available now in Serbia,Belgrade...:)
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Proof please
[HTC Sensation] ypsmav:
great news!

Can you please confirm the version you are getting?

hope the ota for Western Europe arrives soon!
[HTC Sensation] nikola987:
I just checked. No update for Serbia (Belgrade).
[HTC Sensation] minibeast_phone:
Please post CID and ROM number. I I've not seen anything on CID HTC__001
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
1. It's HTC__001 (it HAS to have 2 underscores)

2. An RUU is flashed on the PC - NOT the phone itself. Run the RUU and follow the instructions
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Successful troll is successful :mad:
[HTC Sensation] jojevta:
Me to. No update for Serbia :mad:
[HTC Sensation] droidlucifer:
I didn't install it yet,i'm not sure should i wait for HTC to fix аdressed bugs first or wait for RUU because i'm not a realy big fan of OTA...I just tap Software updates out of curiosity and saw this - Software update: Android 4.0 update with HTC Sense 3.6 297.0 MB...

My current software:

Htc Sensation Z710e

Software number

1.50.401.1

Rooted Superuser

SIM-Unlocked Thanks to this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1233513

And I am aware that i need to revert to stock recovery and original CID before OTA...

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

Why accusing me for trolling?!

I'm just trying to be helpful...

I will try to take a screenshot to prove it...
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
Please send us download filename. That's all we neeed to know. No need to post screenshots...
[HTC Sensation] droidlucifer:
Screenshots:
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Ok you're not a troll but you obviously have no idea what we're waiting for. If you changed cid , installed revolutionary and s-off-ed you will be able to install the elevate version. What we want is the official rollout of the updates to operator free devices.
[HTC Sensation] droidlucifer:
Can i download it and not install it? If that is the case i will provide you with a file name...
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
If you dont revert back to stock recovery and try to install it now you will brick your phone. I dont think file name is necessary in this case because everyone knows about EddyOS thread
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
Better is just download and look into your phone for file with update .. The file will be deleted aftet installation..
[HTC Sensation] buster2:
Can someone who received the update tell me if RTL, Arabic and Hebrew are working correctly like on the Galaxy Nexus?
[HTC Sensation] droidlucifer:
If there is any chance to brick my phone now i will not download it before reverting to stock but i'm not going to do it tonight...I just wanted to give you guys a heads-up on this...:)
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
You dont get it do you? :p What's the heads-up in this situation? There is nothing new that you're telling us :(
[HTC Sensation] droidlucifer:
The new thing is that ICS OTA is now available in Serbia,maybe it's not interesting to you but it may be for people from my country...As i was saying,i was just trying to be helpful and share information...:)
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
As far as I understood, you have cid htc__001. Surpri e for me would be ota notification send to phone with cid htc__032 that's the one you should have.
[HTC Sensation] droidlucifer:
My original CID WAS HTC_032,read my software description...I change it to SuperCID and now it is 11111111...
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Is it safe to post your IMEI number? Just wondered.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I wouldn't say so
[HTC Sensation] Tirozz:
Yes... But it isn't anymore, so you getting offered the OTA has absolutely no relation with your original CID being Serbian. Because you changed it, and this is the reason you're getting the update. Do you understand CID ;-)?
[HTC Sensation] droidlucifer:
Yes,i understand now,i didn't know that SuperCID is getting update and i saw some other posts with list of CID-s from OTA and i didn't saw a 11111111 CID there so i figured that this update might be conected to my old CID...I was very tired and i wasn't thinking properly...:)
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
That is realy interesting that SuperCID (if you did it properly) is receiving OTA update. It could mean, that distribution is based just on IMEI + CID (in your case SuperCID or HTC__001) worked and the OTA server is not checking your location information sent in OTAclient request..

I've tried to get filename from you because your message brakes my speculation theory about just emptying of current queue with .5 release and for further distribution there will be another release to be send... That's why I've asked and now my theory is still alive :)
[HTC Sensation] Gruntplace:
Great thanks, had changed back to HTC__001, double underscore had me for a minute and flashed the stock ROM.

I have rooted now and just thinking, will rooting the stock ROM stop me getting the OTA update when it comes?

Just want to get the OTA and then see if I will get a Custom ICS later

G
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It's always been said NOT to apply an OTA if you're rooted as it's lead to issues in the past with other HTC devices but tbh I've not tried it
[HTC Sensation] fuel3100:
on my htc asia india, htc-038 . still not available..
[HTC Sensation] mnaeh:
I got the update but only after installing 1.50.401.1 manually via RUU. My Sensation is unbreanded.
[HTC Sensation] cobbcobbdavid:
What do u mean the wifi is not working at all? Can you scan the wifi channel? or it just cant connect to it? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
I can't see any find any networks. Its like the WIFI is disabled...
[HTC Sensation] jason2234:
I have an unbranded sensation in the UK and I still haven't had any update. Do I just have to wait?

Is there any other way of updating other than s-off
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
1. S-OFF

2. Manually apply the update

3. Go back to S-ON
[HTC Sensation] minibeast_phone:
Might be worth a shot checking what WiFi channel your router is broadcasting on and seeing if changing it will help. It's normally something between 1 to 14 perhaps your phone is set to channel outside your region. For example channel 13 and 14 are restricted for certain countries, so your router won't broadcast in it. The phone may only be looking in these channels. I assume your using a wireless 2.4ghz router as you cannot use 5ghz? Not sure if it will help but worth checking. You could try the WiFi analyzer app to?
[HTC Sensation] jason2234:
Think I'll wait then only had the phone a month but i do miss customs roms. lol I give it another month before i give in and s-off
[HTC Sensation] droidlucifer:
That confused me too, i thought that SuperCID isn't accepted as a valid CID for the OTA...And here is screenshot that confirms that i properly changed my original CID to SuperCID...:)

If RUU doesen't appear in a few days i will apply this ota and post filename,version etc...:)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It's not that it isn't accepted, it's that in theory it shouldn't be accepted as the android-text in the OTA file should be what lists the accepted CIDs

RUUs have Super CID in them, though
[HTC Sensation] droidlucifer:
EddyOS, you're smart guy and highly respected here on XDA,

can you please tell me what is the safest and smartest thing to do and how to do it if it isn't too much trouble:

Apply this OTA ( i'm on stock ROM, 1.50.401.1,S-OFF via Revolutionary,

HBOOT 1.17.1111,SuperCID,CWM,Superuser. )

Or wait for official RUU?

Thank you very much:)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Well, this update won't wipe your device - an RUU will - so if data is important then flash the OTA

If not, I'd wait for the RUU personally
[HTC Sensation] droidlucifer:
Thank you very much, RUU it is then...:)
[HTC Sensation] avionaru:
HTC Sensation bought from Scandinavia just updated to 4.0 via OTA.
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Can you be a little more specific? :)

The term Scandinavia is commonly used for Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, the term the Nordic countries is used unambiguously for Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland, including their associated territories (Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and the Åland Islands). Scandinavia can thus be considered a subset of the Nordic countries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavia#Use_of_Nordic_countries_vs._Scandinavia
[HTC Sensation] PanicMan:
Can you tell me why is RUU better then OTA? Are there any drawbacks on OTA?

And if I flash OTA and then make an HARD-Reset, it should be the same as flashing RUU, or I'm wrong?

WiFi Issue

I have Taiwanese version of Sensation XE and I got OTA Update in Iran yesterday.some of my programs don't run and the other and very bad issue is wifi find my network and after 2 or 3 seconds it said not in range.I tried a lot of ways to fix this but it didn't.I cant connect through my wifi router at all.Do you Guys know how to fix it.Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
If you've not done a hard (factory) reset then I'd try that

---------- Post added at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

Yes, flashing the OTA and doing a hard reset should mean you have no issues - I did that and it's been fine

OTA just means you don't lose your data
[HTC Sensation] soheil1223:

I do a hard reset but the error is still here(Network Not in range after 2 seconds)

Vodafone Romania stated that ICS update for Sensation will be available starting with 29 March. Let's see if they keep their word.
[HTC Sensation] EkoXE:
So according to Facebook, HTC started the official distribution of ICS.
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
Still nothing ,original Sensation , HTC__001 :(
[HTC Sensation] EkoXE:
ya, according to HTC, it will take a certain time as soon as everyone, and every region gets it. No indication of time.
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
So it this IMEI or region based ?

I live in Canada but my phone is the nonbrand UK version
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
It looks like it. I've just changed my cid to Denmark and check by network snoop that in OTA server request there is changed CID. I think that it is now limited to IMEI + CID list to prevent servers overloading ..

Big question for us will be version distributed in Europe.. Would it be the same vesion as initial one or version with some essential corrections ?? Big disapointment for me is distribution of 3.32.x.x with the same kernel in Asia today.
[HTC Sensation] ShdwFx:
