[HTC Sensation] r.king35:
There seems a bit of confusion on here as to my previous questions, some people keep refering to having to be on 1.50 etc ruu to get the update but what if im on o2 original branded sensation xe, now unbranded with new cid 11111111, s -off and GB stock software 1.73.206.3 cl177617 release keys and baseband 10.58.9035.00u_10.15.9035.02_2.

Where do i get the firmware and what is closest to o2 uk orginal that i am on

then to go to stock 1.50 which people keep telling us to get on first.

Please help
[HTC Sensation] chesterr:
Well I'm not being a noob over here but I gotta tell you that I can't access your multiupload file which is the stock rom for the GB,

I tried different servers then again somehow I got the RUU file and ran it.

It gave me an error msg too. like find the proper RUU for your ID, and it gave me ID no as this - 1.24.401.1, So I have no idea where I'm going wrong right now.

and Don't call me a noob cause I tried everything.As my software number I have 1.73.708.2 and I'm currently located in China and I have tried installing FOTA through the stock recovery many times.

and I have flashed your radio file which is given in this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1262539

and it still shows 1.73.708.2 and I flashed other radios as well and they show the radio fine except for this one.You have any idea which might have been going wrong?
[HTC Sensation] trkaaa:
Very clear Guide , very detailed 2 examples , thanks

may i suggest to add those two Examples to the at the end of OP , some members need that ( step by step how to do it )

my Question is not about installing the ICS OTA , But for How can i revert Back to Custom Roms again ( Either ICS or GB ) ?

After installing the GB RUU i will have for Example Original hboot 1.18 , and after installing the OTA (i didn't download it yet , But i assume it includes the original hboot 1.27 )

is this Original hboot 1.27 will allow me to flash mike firmware 3.32 or not ? ( device is S-OFF )

for members how flashed ICS RUU and got hboot 1.27 , would they be able to flash mike firmware 3.32 or not ? ( device is S-OFF )

thanks
[HTC Sensation] chesterr:
Okay I got the software number for - 1.73.401.4 and the kernel version and baseband, but then I installed the stock recovery and tried to install the ICS rom it gives me an error.
[HTC Sensation] fuel3100:
on my side... im using s-on . but i want to know how to s-off and perm root. im using 1.77 firmware sensation xe is this possible to root? i cant root with this firmware.. i tried revolutionary many times it says failed to root.

is there any other way to root this firmware version?
[HTC Sensation] waseem136:
thanks a lot dude

thanks a lot man, spent whole last night on it. was stuck on changing CID, had supercid and was trying to change it to HTC_001 but it was giving error. finally realized there should be two underscores (which isn't mentioned anywhere as cid is normally of eight characters). n then it just installed like a charm thanks to your easy guide :-)
[HTC Sensation] r.king35:
ok ive got the 1.50 ruu renamed it as a zip and placed it to the download file on my sd card, goe into recovery and apply from sd card clicked on the file and tried to download which gives following error.

E: Cant open / cache/recovery/command

install / sdcard/download

finding update package

E: signiture verification failed

OK then for the sensation xe am i correct in saying that the 1.50ruu file will not work and i need the 1.73.401.4 file for this to work as im on a sensation xe
[HTC Sensation] craven667:

[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
What part of:

do you not understand?

You have an o2 BRANDED Sensation XE so this OTA WILL NOT WORK on your handset until you debrand your handset. If you don't know how to do that then use the ****ing search button and stop clogging up my thread!
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
The 2 under-scores look quite obvious IMO
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Was thinking of adding the examples to the OP, or at least link to the posts at the end of it. As for going back to custom ROMs, you just need to flash CWM again and away you go. As for FW, once you're on the ICS update you are on the same FW as mike's ZIP - the only difference is he includes the Revolutionary HBOOT - so you don't need to flash it
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Don't have one as the files are hosted on the HTC server - they're fine, though
[HTC Sensation] r.king35:
Eddy, firstly dont swear at people take a minute to think once you were a noob and had to start somewhere like us. i understand im on a branded phone and i have changed the cid ad s-off'ed and just need some final help is that too much to ask on here, i thought this place was so we all could share and learn.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
It is, and we've all learnt that using the search button is the best way to find your answer. People have asked about debranding their phones before and it's been answered a million times before. Google it (see - https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=h....,cf.osb&fp=5aebd05a57a4c016&biw=1440&bih=806)

In essence, though, you now just need to flash the 1.73.401.4 RUU and you've done that part - just bear in mind there is no o2-branded RUU available so should the phone break you're kinda buggered
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
lol i want to bug you too eddy but i cant get 1.50 ruu to work on computer tried both comps same thing idk going to bed i want 3.32 ugggggg
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
This is NOT the thread to ask n00b questions - can you not READ the OP??

Go ask in Q&A and wait for an answer, or try using Google
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
can you read what part of that was a question jurk dont even start with me if your going to be rude dont post ****
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I can post what I want - IT'S MY THREAD!!

You're asking questions that can found answered by using the search button or using Google so please try and help yourself. If you can't find the answer, post in Q&A as that is where you ask questions for things not covered by the thread.

This thread is for those wanting to flash the OTA - NOT for people who don't even know how to flash an RUU
[HTC Sensation] Timmey92:
Hey thanks for that guide and providing the link to the OTA file.

I've got a "small" problem though - i cant get into recovery of my unbranded 100% stock HTC Sensation XE. I shut down my device using "shutoff" and tried to power it on holding the volume down button.

I expected it to start the recovery, like you described (and like it worked on my old htc desire...), but all it does is boot up Android.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] RolandCruise:
did you untick the fastboot option in settings>power?
[HTC Sensation] Timmey92:
No i didnt. Will do that now. Might be a good addition to the original post though!

Solved it by removing the battery ...

Anyway my phone is still S-ON, so i dont think i will S-OFF it just to get ICS. Will get it in a few days anyway.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You have to be S-OFF to flash the OTA manually (as stated in the guide)
[HTC Sensation] bobsie41:
Do you have the appropriate drivers installed?

These can be aquired by installing the appropriate htc sync software from the htc homepage for your device. After installing this you can remove the program and the drivers will remain.

Boot your device into fastboot, plug it in to your computer and if your device now says fastboot usb, you've cracked it...run the RUU.exe

If this is not the problem then more details required.
[HTC Sensation] RolandCruise:
If you are using the fastboot feature to boot the phone in few seconds, then removing the battery you just did "brutally" what you can achieve by turning off the Sensation with the option disabled ;)

Fastboot works by saving everything to the ram while turning off, so that once you turn on it just loads very fast due to the ram memory properties. And we all know ram needs energy to work...removing battery erase what it's saved in ram ;)
[HTC Sensation] webstar1:
What is the point of updating. They done evrything great except the touchscreen problem whoch is a major bug when playing games. Just stay on gingerbread
[HTC Sensation] paulmor:
Can anyone help?

Will running the PG58img file in post 107 restore the original Recovery and I will be then able to install the OTA fie?
[HTC Sensation] Timmey92:
Yes I read that.

What does S-OFF exactly do to my phone? Can i reset it to its current status later on if i need to send it in for repairs? Or does this not affect warranty?

If i flash this OTA manually, do i receive updates in the future by OTA?

It should be HTC__001
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
You should be banned for being stupid and not knowing how to read. Stop disrespecting Eddy, he is a well respected member of the community. Seriously, it's sad that so many idiots can't read and expect the rest of us to hold your hand. GTFO or put on your big girl pants and STFU!
[HTC Sensation] musa91:
it is HTC__001 i just missed type it

no he want to be rude to me and others he needs to go wtf we come here for help if he cant help then he can stfu or not post i can google anything dont need him being a noob jurk telling me this
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I said in my original post that silly questions were not to be posted - the Q&A forum is where they go. If you can't follow my simple request then you will get flamed. It's not a hard concept to understand

I'm the same to anyone asking a stupid question so don't take it personally
[HTC Sensation] Keupie:
Hahaha that's hilarious!! It's very hard not to laugh about this!

I said it before and will say it again, is it that hard to thank Eddy instead of flaming him? He helped a lot of people on this forum and remember, it's all for free so stop crying and start reading and searching!
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
Lol! EDDY FOR PRESIDENT! :p

keep flaming mate.. you have written a perfect, noobproof guide and people still fail to read it. We are with you. ;) Keep up the good work
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
lol ok but yet theres was posted first but ok if your going to help then help not yell at people to go to google dumbass
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
How about you just read and followed the instructions? Eddy is right and if I was in his place I'd be flaming too. Being noob is another thing than being unable to read. There have been many tech sites ripping off guides from all over xda for years now. It's not unusual

you guys miss the point lol let me try and school you a little!!!

ok he made this post ok he dont want dumb question but thats what xda is for to help others. he dont like it he need to go !

look at this post and see who he has helped no one i asked for help got told go to google then why post here eddyos i got it to work after a week plus and no help from this jurk

so if you need help with this update let me know

pm me not posting here
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
It's you missing the point this wasn't s q&a guide. He said it in the op. He does a lot more for the community than you do. He helps on q&a all the time. Stop crying already. Ask questions in q&a. This attitude of yours won't get you much help.
[HTC Sensation] shihte:
pls help,i have not branded sensation sim free with stock room.i followed your instruction,copied the file to root of sd.did everething you wrote but phone said error and restrated back to gb.i am not s-off probably but i do not know what s-off menas.thnx in advance
[HTC Sensation] 3484jacks:
Mate, if your not S-off it won't work. Read sentence 2 of the first post

*** NOTE*** - This guide assumes you are already S-OFF. If you are not (e.g. 100% stock) then you WILL have to run Revolutionary to get S-OFF before continuing

If you don't know what S-off means, don't bother with this guide, or do some reading until you do.

It is about Dalvik cache

It is not correct as been mentioned here but not critical. The question is why it is working for some devices and for other not. What APP is making trouble ?

I don't know how cure it and hope that further updates would clear it out to correct state. I have S-OFF and still not sure that I will receive OTAs or I have to check and apply updates manually till I will loose patience and makre full reinstall using RUUxxxxx.exe

Great guide apart from one small limiting factor - I have been trying all evening to download the original RUU for the XE from Filefactory to always find that "All free download slots on this server are in use"!

Does anyone have another download link for the 1.73.401.4 RUU for the European unlocked XE?

After that hopefully even this dumbass will be able to follow the destructions ;o)

why you don't try custom rom

after flash 2.2.1-50r you can use open recovery to custom rom
[Milestone XT720 General] andrexo:
Which personalized ROM? the 50r?
[Milestone XT720 General] sarahSRG:
yes, but lag ofcourse

RAM and ROM so small, always not enough space
[HTC Wildfire S] Gallion:
I want to leave a note.

If no matter what you do, some or all Google apps do not appear even though the flash has been reported as successful, try re-downloading the Gapps archive.
[HTC Wildfire S] eddiehk6:
this looks good, particularly the clear layout

however i personally think that:

6> Nandroid backup

you've briefly covered backing up stuff earlier, but nandroid is by far the safest way. will hopefully get people in a good habit of using them!

you could put a note saying that nandroid is a backup of the exact state of your phone: apps, data, contacts, messages. it can be restored just in case anything goes wrong, and should always be used for flashing critical things like a new rom.

if you really wanted, this guide is actually not too far from being a generic guide to installing any custom rom. except that some need an sd card partitions (gparted recommended), so you would have an optional step 2a or something. maybe too complicated, just a thought, but good post so far!
[HTC Wildfire S] hardikrajgor123:
EDIT : Added Backup part as well now. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] eddiehk6:
Nice, just one thing, there is no need to reboot before wiping anything.they'll end up back in recovery anyway to flash a new ROM.

you could put a note saying that backups are stored on SD card in clockworkmod/backup, and can be moved/copied to PC for ultimate safekeeping.

This guide could become a stickie, just hope ppl use ur guide now...

hardikrajgor123, thanks for a wonderful tutorial and links you provided. everything worked well for me, but i have one question.

i have a confirmation from htcdev method that my device is unlocked and i did install cyanogenmod (it works perfectly). my only problem is that my phone is still s-on and i cannot delete stack apps.

the way which appeared on one of the links (download root.zip, put it on sd card, run it on cwm) didn't work out for me.

anyone has any suggestions how to solve this?

thanks

[HTC Wildfire S] hardikrajgor123:
Did SuperUser install on your phone? If you have root permissions, you can use Titanium backup and remove stock apps. If you're sure the root zip didn't work properly, try doing it again. Follow that tutorial carefully :)
