It is the OTA for Sensation, not XE
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Well done for buying an Inspire - but this is the SENSATION forum so it completely irrelevant to your device

---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

This OTA:

http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_PYRAMID_I...50.401.1_P_release_246627z7pljztztog0er50.zip

is for the original Sensation. Notice the 1.50.401.1 in the name? This is because you HAVE to be on that version to use it. If you're on ANYTHING else then don't even bother

This OTA:

http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_PYRAMID_L...73.401.4_P_release_246589q3t6rh79ci68p68k.zip

is for the Sensation XE. Notice the 1.74.401.4 in the name? This is the version you HAVE to be on to use it. Again, if you're on ANYTHING else then walk away now
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
lol you're funny, I like it :D
[HTC Sensation] SanityPreservation:
Yes, if you have the correct CID, I have HTC__Y13, get it back on stock. I used

then just do the updates until 1.50.401.1 then it wil be there :D
[HTC Sensation] ali3nfr3ak:
you mean 1.73.401.4....:p
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
So.. I'm still wondering if there's a "preview mode" on Android 4? I thought there was supposed to be one that hides all your apps and personal stuff (so you can show it to your friends etc)?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Yes I do, with all this anger from stupid ****ing n00bs I missed it

HTC Sensation XE unbranded, stock rom, .... in Germany. Still no update from OTA :(. Let's see if this changes soon!.
[HTC Sensation] pedro_ro85:
No update for Romania at the moment :(
[HTC Sensation] josephnero:
+1.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
1. See my last post

2. Stock recovery isn't enough if you're currently running custom

3. It says you have an EVO 3D so this isn't even your forum!!
[HTC Sensation] ali3nfr3ak:
Oh for those users in New Zealand if you do the downgrade to 1.73.401.4, you will get the notifcation for the OTA :D
[HTC Sensation] josephnero:
Lol.i know bro.iam asking for my brothers sensation.Evo 3d aint getting ice anytime soon
[HTC Sensation] wirab_1999:
My firmware is 1.73.707.4, do I need to downgrade??
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
No, you need to change to 1.73.401.4

Is it REALLY that hard to grasp this extremely basic concept? The file name TELLS you what you have to be on to flash the file. There is no excuse to ask such stupid questions
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
FYI there's a major bug with the time zone setting. If you set it to automatic, it'll give you a wrong time (mine shows GMT +3 when I'm in GMT +2 zone). No fix so far, just disable the automatic setting and set your time zone manually. Might cause probs with sending and receiving texts, though.
[HTC Sensation] RolandCruise:
I have this option set to automatic and no problems with time...
[HTC Sensation] stuart0001:
Can someone check if custom activesync refresh interval is retained after a reboot.

Would like to know for xe and non xe ota updates.

Theres a bug in the leaked versions so interested to see if present in this still.
[HTC Sensation] Marcio366:
Hi guys. What about the Mass storage? Does it work with new ICS?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Of course it does as we have SD cards - it's not like the Galaxy Nexus
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
Oh, nevermind, I got it fixed. Cleared all the data from locations, clock, clock widget etc and now it's showing the correct time.
[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
Same here, works fine
[HTC Sensation] Asmund:
If you have a rooted phone with stock ROM. Can you run this update directly or do you need to flash stock recovery?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
PLEASE read the other posts as opposed to asking the same ****ing question - it's been answered literally a MILLION times before
[HTC Sensation] RolandCruise:
You need stock recovery. You can (if the update is received directly OTA to your device) or must (if you want to use the package shared by someone else) have S-OFF.
[HTC Sensation] FreakyDR:
Another noob question- why the hell ppl install the update manually and not OTA like it should be?

UK Sensation XE OTA ICS Update

Hi All,

I'm a bit of an Android N00b (IOS convert), but thought I'd share my OTA update information with you all.

I'm UK based and got the update through at 14:35 yesterday (non-branded Sensation XE on Orange).

Same Software versioning as published at the beginning of the thread, except the software number is 3.32.401.105. I also noticed my download was 14MB smaller...

@FreakyDR

In order to get the OTA to install, I went through the process of changing back to S-On, as described HERE. The OTA will not install if your device is S-Off, it will simply reboot you into a recovery mode.

Great site by the way guys!

I am in Uk and using a branded O2 sensation xe but using in another company sim card, three. Is it important to get upgrade ?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You have a branded unit so this update isn't for you. You have to wait on o2 to release it
[HTC Sensation] Tecnic:
Hello guys, I am in Spain so I used the update method throug sdcard. I have a sensation with XE 1.73.401.4 ruu and installed 3.32.401.105 all well execpt now it says that processor is running on 1.2 Ghz and it ran on 1.5 Ghz, is this normal or have i done something wrong.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Nothing wrong, it could be the ota has the wrong kernel in it
[HTC Sensation] Tecnic:
Thanks EddyOS,

I will wait and proceed reading, maybe someone get same situation. I updated the ota from XDA. So maybe someone else will have the same. Could it be that I flashed ruu 1.73.401.4 but not the 1.5 kernel before I flashed the OTA.
[HTC Sensation] paulakis5:
somebody said you have to be s-on is that right??
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
The kernel is part of the RUU
[HTC Sensation] Tecnic:
No I am s-off and I did it

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

So you mean I can flash the kernel I had before over this one?
[HTC Sensation] Tinderbox (UK):
I have an UK stock sim-free/unbranded Sensation, no ics update for me yet. :(

[HTC Sensation] RolandCruise:
If you are S-ON and you do not expect to root your Sensation, but you'll remain fully stock, then you can stay S-ON and patiently wait for the update to reach you. It's not so far by now.

If you are S-OFF then you need to put everything to stock (in case you flashed something custom after S-Off_ing) and then you can apply a shared update package or even wait for the update to reach you OTA.

So, it's up to you. You can be S-ON and stay stock (with a little bit of patience waiting the official OTA for you) or S-OFF and mantain the ability to get root ;)

I hope I've been clear... :D
[HTC Sensation] djdigitald:
Same here, unlocked UK Sensation XE and no updates as yet.

Was going to manually update it but can't get the HBOOT display to work :confused:

Anyone noticed the wifi doesnt ever turn off in sleep mode?

and on every restart the phone it says "android is updating, sorting apps" or something alone them lines
[HTC Sensation] $Gamechiller$:
Can I go S-off, install the update and than back to s-on?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You can, but you won't be able to S-OFF again as it's a new HBOOT which Revo doesn't work with (1.27.0000)

EddyOS: I will be your nightmare ;).. How to go to S-ON on HBOOT 1.27.. As far as I understood by quick reading I need for that RUU with 1.27 inside ..

Because inpatient user now has to track each new update and apply it manually.. I understand that I will close root on stock roms for me..
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Once you've flashed the 3.32 OTA you will be on HBOOT 1.27.0000 as the new HBOOT is in the update

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

Are you S-ON? If so, that's why...
[HTC Sensation] duhprest:
Not working for me either. I used revolutionary on my sensation xe, got S-Off and did some sorta flash that the program asked to do and then put the downloaded file on my sd card and then did the Volume + Down boot up and then went to recovery and went to 'install from sdcard, then choose zip from sdcard and then applied the pyramid update but after two seconds of opening package it just says 'installation aborted'

Any ideas?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Sounds like you've flashed CWM once Revo finished. If so, there's your problem
[HTC Sensation] duhprest:
So what do I do? I'm a hopeless nob.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
1. You're a n00b, NOT a nob ;)

2. Run your RUU again and then follow my guide here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538032
[HTC Sensation] Tecnic:
Guys, I am S-OFF had also the aborting issue.

You do not need to S-ON.

But you cannot have ENG boot thats wy you will get the "aborting error".

What I did after getting "aborting error" was:

Flash Original RUU for Sensation XE 1.73.401.4

Than do not do the ENG boot flash.

Yust Flash the ota like EddyOS explained.

And it will work.

Only thing I have is processor running at 1.2 Ghz

Try it again, good luck
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
^ You have it running 1.2 GHz because the dual-core processor IS 1.2 GHz.
[HTC Sensation] duhprest:
I am a nob. Trust me.

What's an RUU and how do I run it? Does any of this involve any of my files/contacts/msgs getting deleted?
[HTC Sensation] Tecnic:
Do not think so because with previus rom 1.73.401.4 it ran at 1.5Ghz.
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
Oh you're on XE... Ok. If you used the OTA I provided, that's meant for Sensation only.
[HTC Sensation] Tecnic:
No I used this one:

Provided bij EddyOS in post #256
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
Okay, then EddyOS should be able to help :)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
This isn't the first person to say they're running at 1.2GHz - I reckon HTC have done something silly with the kernel (e.g. not changed it from the original Sensation one)
[HTC Sensation] Tecnic:
A few pages back he already mentioned.

That maybe wrong kernel packed in OTA update.

I am not sure if I can flash previeus kernel from 1.73.401.4 witch I have on PC, because that one is stock but with 1.5Ghz speed, but also Gingerbread so not sure if it is compatible
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I'd leave it for now and see if HTC do anything. I've raised it on Elevate to see what they say
[HTC Sensation] Tecnic:
Thanks EddyOS, appreciate that.

I will not touch it

[HTC Sensation] insertsim1:
Help me!

Hello,

I'm from romania and i have my sensation from Vodafone. i have some problems doing this update. i've followed this steps :

1. Download the 3.32.401.5 OTA file from HTC - fotadl.htc.com/OTA_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5-1.50.401.1_P_release_246627z7pljztztog0er50.zip[/url] You do NOT have to rename the file

2. Copy the file to the root of your SD card

3. Turn your phone off and turn it back on whilst holding the volume down button.

4. Select 'Recovery' from the menu to enter the stock Recovery. If CWM loads up, stop now and flash the 1.50.401.1 RUU

5. When you get to the screen with the red ! on it, hold volume up and press power. It will say 'cant open cache/recovery/command' and then bring up the recovery menu

but from this step my phone just restart's and the message is "invalid command....." and my on my screen apears 4 lines :

- reboot

-apply update from sd card(i've tryed this one but i can't select OTA)

-wipe...

-reset...

It's the first time when i'm trying to update my phone. i have android stock,it's unrooted, i can use anyh operator(vodafone, orange.....).

Please help me, it's frustrating to know that's out the update and i can't use it :((
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
1. What ROM version are you on at the moment?

2. Are you S-ON?

If you're NOT on 1.50.401.1 then it won't work. If you're S-ON it won't work
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Which stock version, though?

Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post up
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
OK, I going to assume you're S-ON, which is why it won't work as you HAVE to be S-OFF (as my guide tells you ;) )

And can I update my phone to ICS manually using the file below or is it just for European stock roms? Thanks in advance.

[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
Yes, they've removed the option from 3.32 ROMs.
[HTC Sensation] paulmor:
Those of us who rooted their phone and installed non-official ROMs, need now to flash a custom RUU to be able to run the OTA upgrade to ICS.

So why not flash directly the full new official ICS RUU?

I think it has already been posted somewhere in this forum. If not, it will probably be available very soon.
[HTC Sensation] Nightbox:
I bought my phone in Romania however it was imported from Asia (Malaysia). My software number is 1.50.707.1 .

You can only update with zip if you have S-OFF.
[HTC Sensation] mm_david_mm:
:confused: It was a very useful option...

It's strange, because they developed it more from Sense 3.0...

¿Maybe a bug?

I remember whwn HTC updated from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, they forgot to put the "Free memory" app, which was launched from memory settings, and a couple months later they rollout an update only for that missing apk... Maybe is this case (or at least, I hope that...)

Argh the stupid time zone problem came back again, and none of my msgs arrive when I send them overseas. Also, not sure if it's a setting problem or what, but the Wi-fi doesn't stay disabled. Always goes automatically back on, when I unlock the screen.
[HTC Sensation] RolandCruise:
I do not have these bugs, but it seems that this time too htc released an update with few but very annoying bugs for the Sensation.

Now I am really asking myself what was this elevate program for? As they just released what they called a beta rom to the "elevate members" only one week before everybody else received the very same rom and it wasn't even meant to fix the possible bugs encountered by the "elevate members".

I mean, the rom is so much better than the latest gingerbread, but the ridiculous bugs they left in are so frustrating!

Incomprehensible...
[HTC Sensation] FnH84:
You're right, I'm waiting to hear if anyone else has these problems. It could be a few things. Something might've gone wrong with the update on my phone; maybe old settings got screwed up, and the wifi thing might be just a feature that can be disabled. But no luck so far fixing either problem for me. I'll do a hard reset today and see what happens.

When i uset the PG58IMG.ZIP file it only flashed the revocery part, but i have used another PG58 file before that did more than only the recovery, but i think that was when i rooted the phone in the first place.

So I need to flash stock recovery to get S-ON. And I'm not really sure what recovery I need to flash.
