[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
Just got the "Settings" update on my phone (I m having indonesian ics on it, purchased it through Indian seller through ebay but it was an Indonesian phone). Noticed no changes yet. It didn't even required a restart, it started installing immediately after download with a dialogue "Application Update". Software version is still the same.

I guess this is gradually been pushed to every country. Just for everybody's information.
[HTC Sensation] DrTanny:
My Cid is htc_621 I bought it in india
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
I am not sure for which country this CID is but its for South East Asia, hence you have got the same update that I have got, the one for WWE phones, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sinagapore and like. HTC_44, HTC_621 etc all are SEA CIDs.

Post the version details of your update please.

Warranty Conditions

I was planning to change my CID to get the ICS update of Nordic countries. Does changing my CID on HTC Sensation void my warranty?

In case of an problem, whats the procedure to revert back to original state through RUU ?
[HTC Sensation] jazzzzzzz:
Changing cid only will not help....u may need to flash RUU after doing super CID ,as i know
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
Better get the update released for South East Asia, thats a bit bug fixed than the Nordic countries one.

First you need to be S-OFF. Next, You need to change the CID, and then flash a compatible RUU. On Flashing, RUU checks for a proper CID and if u have one, it will go ahead without any issues. For example, you can set your CID to HTC_044 (Indonesia) and then flash the WWE RUU.

Next you start your phone and search for updates. One by one, you will start getting all the updates that were released after that RUU. At the end u will get the ICS update.

To revert to original state, Supposedly, you can set the CID to your current one, flash any available compatible for for that CID and again follow the same procedure of updating to get to the most recent version. This is because opposite to OTA, RUU flashes each and every component of the phone back to its version hence the bootloader and everything else should get downgraded in theory.

However, reverting back to Gingerbread from ICS is not at all tested by anyone and there are 50% chances of bricking your phone, hence choose wisely. Once a ICS RUU for your current region is available, the risk will be less, but the current situation is like this only.

I am using the SEA update right now, and can assure you that its very very stable, only very few minor bugs are there. Those should be fixed by future updates very soon.

Cheers!

ICS

This is beyond a joke! I bought my sensation unlocked from Hong Kong, though I'm in Australia. Found out the cid is htc__038. How can sensations sold by carriers receive ICS before unbranded & unlocked ones. No bloatware from carriers and still htc India can't release ICS. I'm extremely pissed off! Never again will I purchase anything from India
[HTC Sensation] iAmBalvinder:
If HTC is not gonna launch ICS Update, is it recommended to change the cid of the phone, or getting a supercid.

Please inform me the warranty issues. If i update my cid to nordick country, and update to ICS now, how would i revert back to indian cid 38??

Will reverting back to indian cid and updating then, update my phone to indian build of the ICS for HTC sensation?

Plz tell me your hboot no.....
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
Why the hell everybody is recommending the European update when its more buggy compared to all other regions?? Misguiding people, are we?

If anybody is going to do the CID change, please use the south east asian update, HTC_044 for example is the CID for Malaysia/Indonesia update. This one is far better and there are absolutely no annoying issues at least. Radio performance is also quiet good and hence so is the battery performance.

You can use the Asia WWE RUU from the "Shipped Pyramid Roms" thread to make your device a WWE phone and then u will receive 3 more updates, The Gingerbread Update, The security Update and the twitter update. As soon as you are finished with 3, 4th one will be ICS.

But ya, even with that its true that there is no known, fool proof way of going back to GB.
[HTC Sensation] youngvinith:
Dude I'm using the european version. And I don't have any bugs. Everything is working normal. I received an update too.
[HTC Sensation] youngvinith:
Hboot version 1.27.0000
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
Maybe you haven't noticed them yet. Go to the European and Malaysian thread and compare the amount of complaints there to get an idea. If its working great for you, thats nice, but overall, the SEA update is said to be more stable.

The update you mentioned, if its the settings update, then it is being pushed to all the countries. I also received it about a week ago, also posted that in this thread.

[HTC Sensation] ibeqa:
What he's saying is that when you do a manual check it takes a very long time to tell you that there are no updates (usually that procedure should be 2-3 sec.).

So either HTC is working something on their servers or our internet connection suddenly dropped :)
[HTC Sensation] Aparajith Chandran:
Well hopefully we should get the update soon then!!!
[HTC Sensation] milan_gondor:
yup that is what i meant..sorry for my unclear post...

when i do manual check, phone is stuck in "Checking.." status .. i allowed it to keep checking for 5 mins but never got any pop up or error.. n when i press back button the status goes away.. is it same with you guys? or is it just me?

How can you change your CID without having to s-off first?
[HTC Sensation] pavan_bitsgoa:
Is htc looking to get rid of old stock?

Of all the reasons, is htc looking to move the old stock? Htc one s is not launched in India for a reason. It is a direct competition to sensation / xe. I can't imagine ppl buying sensation after one s releases since they are in the same pricing range. One x is premium.

Coming to ics, of the many things forcing ppl to buy one x, sensation is running gingerbread while rest all are on ics.

Secondly, ppl looking for an upgrade would tend to buy one x , for ics along with a bunch of hw upgrades that come with one x? Crazy marketing decision?

Lastly not many ppl own sensation / xe in India, meaning additional efforts with minimal returns for htc.

If htc releases the update in q3, I will never ever buy another htc. I have been using them for 4yrs straight now, starting with their p3452! Mind u, this is comming from a hardcore htc fan!

I feel betrayed by htc releasing one x within 4 months of releasing sensation xe as their flagship. What company changes their flagship every 5 months and treat their earlier ones like s**t. If u cannot reasonably support ur most recent customers, forget my loyalty. This is utter negligence towards customers frm Htc, precisely y the have their worst quarter. Give ur customers the respect they deserve, at least after buying what u consider ur flagship

This is the tipping point for me.
[HTC Sensation] milan_gondor:
i totally agree with you, there are some news floating around regarding some network problem with some service providere coz of ICS update. may be that is y it is delyaed here in India. Maybe we will get update which is much more better and robust then the current one..

Regarding HTC One S i was also suprised that they did not lauch it here in India. I got my HTC sensation XE few weeks back thinking it is the one of the best phone available in the market. When HTC announced One series i got furious and couldnt help myself comparing it with HTC XE..

what i found is there is minor update to One series.. only difference i noted was HTC Sense 4 as compared to 3.5 on Xe and Ram of 1 gb as compared to 725 in XE..

They will keep coming out with new phone and minor updates but that would also depend on target audience.. There r not many takers of high end phone like One series (Priced at Rs.35k) in indian market. So they release them accordingly in select market..

n ofcourse they are looking at older customer and that is why we have ICS update for Sensation, Desire S and other such old phone (if i m not mistaken).

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

and if people are under impression that HTC has delayed update coz of HTC One series than tht is wrong.

Both HTC one series and ICS update for sensation is coming from same company i.e HTC.. they would have defiently thought about one older device with ICS update will eat away One series sales.

But ICS update is already out in few countries.. i guess US, Europe and some Asian countries.. Y would they do that if the original intention was to delay the update so that they can lauch One seriies?

Think about it.

[HTC Sensation] djpeesh:
There aren't any network problems with ics. If there were, custom Roms would

Not work and neither would the one x. This is just some HTC bs to stall queries on why the ics update hasn't happened. The only reason is HTC is trying to keep ics exclusive to one flagship model, ie the one x. Stupid strategy but that's that.
[HTC Sensation] asylumdesire:
they have suffered previously with the sales of sensation series in india and giving and ics update is on least priority they want one series to have the market then they will give the ics update this is my view point hope they prove me wrong giv the update this week!!!!!!

Confirmation of update for Middle east

I can confirm that the update for the Middle-east has been rolled out. My friend has a Sensation with a ME CID and he got the update four days ago. I am located also in the middle-east but my mobile phones shop sold me a new sensation with an Indian CID!!! And I'm stuck waiting the HTC to push the update for Indian phones.

I tried changing the CID with the revolutionary tool, but the zerg-rush rooting method failed because a recent update patched the exploit used by zerg-rush, so now I'm stuck with no possibility to change the CID and no update yet from HTC!

i had spoken to HTC Rep and then spoke to the escalations team and they said the update was delayed b'cos of One x release and we would be getting update only in june .... :mad:
[HTC Sensation] krazy_about_technology:
****! This is really bad on HTC's part. This is a very lame excuse, and I don't believe it but they are really doing negative publicity for the company by themselves.

For all this time, they were saying that their technical engineering team is working on update, I dont understand what the "technical" team has to do with release of One X in market? Isn't that the job of sales and marketing team? And till how many days they will be busy in "releasing it" ?

I think the moral of the story is, do not buy from HTC "India". Import your phone from clove.co.uk or any such vendor from Europe or South east asia. These phones get the update fastest.

As for people holding up, if that is HTC's answer then I dont think there will be anything new in the Indian version of update. Its just that they haven't started working on it and probably they will just customize the version released in SEA for India.

Those who are in a hurry to get the update should probably go for the SEA update. The radio of that update is quiet compatible with the Indian version hence you should get good battery life.

Just my two cents..
[HTC Sensation] joslicx:
^^

What I have realized and resolved is never to buy Android other than official Google phone again. Its ridiculous that its more than 6 months and still we are waiting for ICS and I am sure it is not going to be the latest version of ICS whenever it is released. This is not a problem with both iOS & WP as both get instant updates whenver they come.

Why cant HTC just give us an option to install pure Android software. Those who want can go for it. This way at least we'll have instant updates (and not just waiting for them forever)
[HTC Sensation] nimish.saraogi:
Yes, IOS and WP do get the updates sooner. I was using Nokia Lumia 800 and have bee using Nokia since I started using cell phones, but after being hugely disappointed from Lumia i came to sensation xe, now being excited bout the ICS, I was waiting for it since long, taking a risk now I am going to flash my phone with a good custom ROM,

As I am relatively new to android flashing plz suggest a good ICS Rom fr me...gonna do it today itself...

Thanks..

[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Hmm.. I just had an opinion to share (this being my first post, I don't know how welcome that is).

Anyway, first off, I really don't blame HTC for the increased focus on the One series, because the phones do have issues that need to be addressed & our update is not as important, because our devices are working fine.

It's also better to have the updates come in at a later stage where it is stable & bug-free.

Lastly, I noticed that the Support topics for Sensation & Sensation XE have all been updated for ICS & Sense 3.6(?)

www(dot)htc(dot)com/in/help/htc-sensation-xe/

Sorry I can't post links!

So that should imply that our updates will be out soon enough?

Hi All,

This is first post from me. The facebook india page is pointless. It looks like an advertisement site made for htc one x. They are not bothered with putting out useful information to its users or the content is never updated.

Even i have waited long for an official ICS update.But since it just has ICS and not sense 4 and i was really fed up of waiting i tried to put a custom ROM myself. First i had to choose a RAM. I thought Darkforest Sense 4 would be fine. Link below -

First i had to S-off, i tried revolutionary.io but didnt work. I tried a few other things as well but i dont remember them fully. Finally tried htcdev.com for s-off but it still shows s-on but label above is displayed as unlocked

After s-off my phone had an automatic factory reset :(

And then clockwork was installed. Latest one was downloaded from

I had saved backup of the current ROM via clockwork.

I rooted with the latest version of su.

I installed the custom ROM but i had missed out the firmware install pre-requisite as it was late night and was sleepy.

Later i recovered the official ROM that was shipped with mobile via clockwork which i had backed up earlier.

Tried to upgrade the firmware following the links -

What exactly is going wrong after you install a custom rom?

hi,

if you have unlock bootloder it will unlock some options of the bootloder but you can not install custom rom s with modded kanels......so thats why you are not booting your phone.....bla bla

to recover your phone. download 3.32.405.5 and install with bootloder.first change your cid to HTC__001 and relock bootloder.
