[HTC Sensation] r.king35:
Eddy i only asked that's all, I not having a go so need to come back with things, as if its like as ment as a dig at you cus its certainly not, we value your knowledge etc so please dont be so defensive.

I didnt know if i had stumbled on something to do with the CID that might be of benefit you guys that's all.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
That's fine but everyone seems to think I know everything - I don't. I know a lot but what you've done is technically impossible as the Super CID would be listed as acceptable in the OTA if it would work (in normal circumstances).

Perhaps flashing it manually DOES work with Super CID - I really don't know

As my OP says - if you find something that might be helpful, PM me. I can then look into updating the OP as opposed to having hundreds of posts all saying conflicting information

Please help!!!
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Wrong CID, it should be HTC__001 (2 underscores)

Also, this isn't a help thread for the OTA - it's a reference thread for the guide. If you have issues please post them in Q&A. Same goes for anyone else

Thanks! :D

Eddy, is your custom ICS Rom coming any time soon?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Just running some final testing, should be early next week :)
[HTC Sensation] esnw33430:

Cheers Eddy!

Worked like a charm, thanks fella.
[HTC Sensation] PeteT:
Eddy, Thank you

I've been running your custom ROM since December without any problems. Now you have helped me upgrade to ICS. Your a star, Thank you :D

And to top it all off your producing a custom ROM :D :D

Keep up the good work.

[HTC Sensation] EuanIsaac:
Shapanor, can you post the exact steps that you used to flash revolutionary? I am also stuck at 1.27 HBOOT LOCKED, tried to flash CWM recovery but it wasnt working. I am still on stock recovery.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You need to flash CWM via a PG58IMG.zip - you can't do it via fastboot unless you flash the Revolutionary HBOOT (again, via a PG58IMG)
[HTC Sensation] EuanIsaac:
Eddy, I already tried it several times. Updated using PG58IMG but I was still stuck on the old stock recovery.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Then you're not using the right PG58IMG. Try the one I've attached to this post
[HTC Sensation] EuanIsaac:
Thank! 3 long sleepless nights and it was just a wrong PG58 file. thanks! it is now working, i had the CWM installed.
[HTC Sensation] killingflowers:
Well... tried different ways to get this update, cid is HTC__001 , on o2 network, s-off without CWM and still zero joy.

Have no idea where I'm going wrong.
[HTC Sensation] esnw33430:
just to update, the update process worked perfectly but unfortunately my phone seems not to like it, repeated crashing and loading screens / white screen htc logo etc.

not EddyOS's fault but still a great step by step on how to upgrade using the ota files.

I just rolled back to standard Sensation ROM and have a stable phone again now, just for ****sangiggles i turned my Sensation into the XE and tried that version of ICS (using the ota here and the same instructions) and the upgrade fails so if your having errors using the XE ota's; check your phone is actually an XE and not a standard Sensation.

I'm lucky enough to have access to a real XE and the XE ota works perfectly on this one :)

Thanks for the hard work guys, keep it up.

[HTC Sensation] yafyuf:
EddyOS can you help me please??

I have Sensation XE version 1.73.707.4

The phone is S-OFF (I used revolutionary).

I tried to flash the RUU you posted (RUU_PYRAMID_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed) and I get an error:

ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR

The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

What did I do wrong?
[HTC Sensation] maikant:
Can i return to s-on

Thanks for this useful post, pls can i revert to s-on after the whole process. i just want my phone to be complete. just like nothing has happen to it
[HTC Sensation] paulmor:
Are you SuperCid? You need this to flash a Stock RUU on top of your existing one.
[HTC Sensation] yafyuf:
Please can you tell me step by step what to do because i'm completely a noob.. please.

What I did:

Used Revolutionary for the S-OFF

Downloaded 2 files from the first page of this thread which are

RUU_PYRAMID_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed.exe

then I tried to install the RUU on my phone (Sensation XE) from the bootloader usb menu and I got the error 131..

@Eddy thanks. It worked but everytime I restart the it will show that "android is upgrading" pls help me I want smooth upgrade without upgrading each time I reboot
[HTC Sensation] MAkS1:
I have exactly the same "problem" ... Thanx for this guide btw!
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
This is 'normal' for stock ICS at present. No one knows how to 'fix' it
[HTC Sensation] ptut42:
ok stupid ? and i am a noob but how do you flash the 1.50.401.1 RUU i see there is a link to download it but what do you do once you have downloaded it :confused:
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
There are 2 ways to flash an RUU:

1. Make sure you have HTC Sync running on your PC

2. Run the RUU

3. Connect your phone to the PC when prompted, selecting 'Charge Only'

4. Follow the instructions

If this doesn't work, then you can:

1. Boot your phone into fastboot by turning it off then turn it back on whilst holding the volume down button and at the screen with the 3 Androids at the bottom (HBOOT) press power to select fastboot (if the phone doesn't boot into HBOOT then make sure you have 'fastboot' turned off in Settings>Power)

2. Connect to your PC

3. When it says 'Fastboot USB', run the RUU

4. Follow the instructions
[HTC Sensation] ptut42:
thanks for the fast reply but i did the second method due to not having sync on my comp and it came up with a ERROR [130] something about being wrong model or something :confused:
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Which RUU are you trying to use and what are you currently on?
[HTC Sensation] ptut42:
completely 100% stock just s off and trying to use the ruu you posted in the begining when you said "If CWM loads up, stop now and flash the 1.50.401.1 RUU"
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Yeah, but which software version? If you're not prepared to answer then I'm not prepared to help (which I shouldn't help anyway as it's all in the guide)
[HTC Sensation] ptut42:
1.50.531.1

---------- Post added at 09:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

Ok I see now where you stated you have to be 1.50.401.1 I guess my next ? Would be how do you go from 1.50.531.1 to 1.50.401.1
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You need S-OFF and Super CID
[HTC Sensation] ptut42:
Don't know how or what super cid is so never mind thanks for the help though
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Super CID is a generic CID which will allow you to flash any RUU on any handset. You would need to set your phone to Super CID to flash the unbranded RUU to get the ICS update
[HTC Sensation] ptut42:
Ok did the super cid and the software is now what you said it should be but I go to install and it says installation aborted after about fifteen seconds
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
With the	RUU or the ota file?
[HTC Sensation] ptut42:
1. Download the 3.32.401.5 OTA file from HTC - http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_PYRAMID_IC...tztog0er50.zip. You do NOT have to rename the file

downloaded the one from step one and moved to sd card im now my phone is 1.50.401.1 like it said it should be

[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You still need to running the 1.50.401.1 ROM to use the update. If you're not that's your problem. You also need stock recovery
[HTC Sensation] ptut42:
i have stock recovery and 1.50.401.1 rooted with revo method and followed instructions to a t on how to install ota and i keep getting that same message what could i possible be missing ill donate for your trouble just boggling my mind
[HTC Sensation] hell_freezer:
my country already got an OTA update ICS 3.32.707.10

i'm in asia.

i already downloaded the official OTA updates from phone.

but plans to update later using this thread guide, so i leave the file in sdcard.

but before doing that, i have some questions regarding stock ICS OTA.

can i root my device after updating? e.g can flash cwm recovery?

since the hboot is new.

and will the update make my device back to s-on?

thank you in advance for your help
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
1. OTA or any other updates or custom rom installation will never revert your phone back to S-ON.

2. Once you do the OTA update by this guide , you have to reflash CWM recovery by PG58IMG.zip method.

3. Download su-3.0.2-efgh-signed.zip or Su-2.3.6.3.signed.zip from development thread. If you can not find it I can post you a link.

4. Flash it in recovery. Your ICS will be rooted.
[HTC Sensation] hell_freezer:
thank you for the reply.

i just want to make sure that i still can root my device after updating to ICS.

was wondering before since there is new hboot 1.27.

now i convinced.

i will flash stock RUU first before proceeding the OTA updates.

one more question, my bootloader saying it's locked (was revolutionary at first) and s-off, should i need doing a revolutionary unlocking for the second time? because from what i read, revolutionary doesn't support hboot 1.27 yet.

i just plan to use official OTA ICS & rooting it for the moment, not custom rom.

thank you.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
To root, flash this Superuser package. The ones listed above are WAY old now and aren't for ICS...

If anyone could help me then that would be great.

I have a sensation xe that is s-off and the steps I have followed so far are downloading the stock ruu for sensation xe. It finished downloading then I followed the steps then it paused and came up with the message...

"ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR"

"The ROM Update Utility cannot update your android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again."

I am extremely new to all this htc development side of the phone and yes people would call that noob, but it doesn't bother me, but I would respect the help as I greatly would appreciate it.

Phone Details: my carrier is Telstra, htc sense 3.0, android version 2.3.4, software number 1.73.707.4.

Any other details you need to know in order to help then just ask.

Hope someone is able to lend me a hand.

cheers :)
[HTC Sensation] paulmor:
Your ROM version is 1.xx.707.x which is SE Asia. You are trying to install the EU version 1.73.401.5 and to the best of my knowledge you can install a different zone version only if you are Super CID.
[HTC Sensation] m_lama:
That does sound like the right thing to do, but how do I go about finding that version and how do I super CID?

Thank you for your help.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
The main s-off thread in the dev forum covers super cid
[HTC Sensation] m_lama:
Just to confirm my understanding. Once I go through the process of superCID then the file listed in this guide that I previously tried using, should work?

Thanks you for your help.
[HTC Sensation] tmaniac666:
Thanks for the guide!

Managed to upgrade to the version provided here, which is 3.32.401.105.

Do you know how I could now upgrade to the htc sensation ota released recently, which is 3.32.707.110?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You either need the RUU (which isn't out yet) or the previous RUU and the relevant OTA file
[HTC Sensation] alanfernandes77:
Thanks Ed, I flashed the European Ruu, before that I Updated my cid to 11111111 and flashed the pg58ing file. All sorted with ics and sense 3.6..

Gonna be a dambass now though, will it be easy enough to update to the the UK release when it finally comes out?

This is for the UK release, so you're all done!
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Your not stock if your rooted lol run ruu again then ota not a rooted Rom just s off
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Who is that answering? Better to quote the person you are replying to to stop confusion
[HTC Sensation] tmaniac666:
I am assuming that both methods with delete everything on the phone?

Or will the RUU preserve files saved?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
RUU wipes the lot, an OTA just updates what is already there
[HTC Sensation] Kaiu24:
clarify

just want to clarify, i fully get the procedure but want to know two things

1. is this the exact same as the OFFICIAL update that would come to my phone?

2. my phone is fully stock so after applying this will i lose all apps and data?
[HTC Sensation] Iniesta89:
I think I know the problem now. My phone isnt S-off.

So pre ics versions what's the difference in ruu version numbers, currently in 1.27.401.3 original was a three UK Rom
[HTC Sensation] gkirl:
issues

At the risk of getting attacked as a dumb n00b!

I have a completely stock Sensation.

I unlocked the bootloader the official HTC way, is this the same as S-off?

I have the right version of the software and I downloaded the right ZIP and put it in the right place.

I booted in recovery and got to the point where I selected a ROM off the SD card to flash. When I picked this option and hit power the phone rebooted.

Now it appears to have done a factory reset. I cannot boot into recovery mode (even if I remove battery). Fastboot is disabled. Even ROM manager won't allow a reboot into recovery mode "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands".

Any ideas?

Aplogoies in advance if I have missed something dumb.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Unlocking the HTC way won't work, a said you have the be s-off too flash it manually
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:

[HTC Sensation] f4rell09:
Just a question eddy, just tried using RUU 1.50.401.1. To debrand my phone which was on 3 UK before..manage to do it successfully, after running Ruu , I lost root and wasn't s off anymore..totally stock..so I tried checking for updates there you go , got ics update.downloaded and installed ics, it went fine..my question is do you normally loose root and s- off by by running RUU??THANKS
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You don't lose S-OFF flashing an RUU, you would have had to have run the fastboot command. You won't have the Revolutionary HBOOT but it'll be S-OFF
[HTC Sensation] f4rell09:
Ok..thanks...I will check...lots of bugs unfortunately on official ota ics...

your right ! just checked it:: so one more question eddy sorry,,so what is the difference between the OTA file you uploaded here from htc,than the one i got from system update..bcoz im running ics now from the official one, but not yet rooted,,is there any difference??thanks again..as i'm stiil s-off,would you still recommend to flash your ota or stick with the one from htc as i am on ics 4.03 and sense 3.6 already?

No difference at all, the one on this guide is from the HTC server itself (check the link location)
