I was S-Off and I ran the RUU, and still have S-Off. The flashable version that Steve posted is rooted, but the RUU is pure stock. SO if you want root you should flash the .zip from recovery as usual. Otherwise just run the RUU and it will install the ROM, recovery, radio and wipe your data/factory reset.
[HTC Sensation] ceroglu:
Thanks, do you know if there is a way to root and install a custom recovery? I know how to do it on GB but not sure on ICS?
[HTC Sensation] Zylograth:
if you want to keep root and custom recovery I would suggest you just flash the .zip from recovery and avoid the RUU
[HTC Sensation] cruznbiyou:
If im completely stock can i download the rooted/dedoxed zip, rename it UPDATE.ZIP and flash as usual?
[HTC Sensation] el7145:
It would be much appreciated if someone can post a guide on how to update to this stock tmobile ICS from GB, while keeping root and recovery, or how to put those back.

I mistakenly flashed this zip thinking it contained the 3.32 firmware and newer hboot needed to run ICS.
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
a. Has anyone tried to re-size widget function that is the changelog from Tmobile.

I did installed the ROM but forgot to test before heading back to Coredroid 5.1 because the Hotspot limitation of the new update.

b. I already installed the WIFI Patch, but haven't had the chance to test it (not under wifi know).

c. Has anyone found a workaround for the Hotspot, I tried recovering the app from a Nandroid of Coredroid ICS 5.1, while in the Tmo release, but with no luck.
[HTC Sensation] rorycs:
Proper method to flash .zip?

I have read the thread and still am unclear....

If I want to flash the Rooted .zip file and am currently S-Off with Root on the TMOUS 1.50 Rom, do I just flash the .zip in recovery or do I need to flash a firmware package first? If I do need to flash firmware, which one do I flash and where do I get it?

Thanks.....
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
thats what i do is run ruu then flash back then flash to a rooted rom i know its the long way but saves on trying to flash radio and ril withch i have never done
[HTC Sensation] cruznbiyou:
If i dont care about root can i flash this rom on an unrooted Sensation by naming UPDATE.ZIP and loading as a normal Stock update?
[HTC Sensation] el7145:
If your on the stock GB or a GB rom, you cant just flash this zip, as i found out...i believe you will need to flash the 3.32 firmware, and i think you also need to have your hboot version 1.23 or higher.

It would be nice if someone made a all in one zip for the people still on GB

fyi. i was soffed (via revolutionary) and rooted also
[HTC Sensation] ceroglu:
Can you elaborate on this? I want to flash the RUU but someone said it doesn't have the recovery and it is not rooted? I want to re-flash the radio and firmware by flashing the RUU and then the zip file. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] rorycs:
OK, so where can I find the correct 3.32 firmware and Hboot? If I flash the RUU, do I root it in the same manner as the 1.50 GB release?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
You need to flash the appropiated 3.32 firmware with hboot 1.27 from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

or directly from here (in the same thread, for Tmobile phones, if your are not superCID):

http://goo.gl/znhyw

Just make sure that you flash right away, because it won't boot your GB ROM.

If you have problems you must take out the MicroSD and remove the PG58IMG.zip

I also suggest that you download the ARHD super WIPE script and flash it BEFORE the ROM and then flash the zip file. This will WIPE everything but the SD card.
[HTC Sensation] el7145:
good stuff bro, couldnt we just flash the 1.23 hboot which supports both gb and ICS, that way if we get into any trouble, we could still load up a GB rom
[HTC Sensation] rorycs:
OK great, and if flashing the TMO stock RUU, how do I root it? (Same as the GB RUU's?)

Thanks!!
[HTC Sensation] mr_gem:
Question: How can I enter bootloader again, power + vol down won't work !
[HTC Sensation] juancubo:
Yes, you could, is not necessary but would give you the benefit. I would suggest that after flashing the Zip, you update to hboot 1.27.

If you do the RUU, Then, I would suggest that you flash the 4ext recovery, then flash the .ZIP from this post. That way you would have the newest combination of FIRMWARE, RADIO, RIL, and Rooted ROM.

Gentlemen..Majority of your questions about updating your firmware have dedicated threads in this same forum. Please use search and don't clutter with questions that are already answered.

If you have a question 9/10 times it was answered already here and if you say you searched and couldn't find it then you are clearly slow or a bad liar. lol

Coming from ARHD 6.6.3 and no probs so far.

I just wanted to report in. I ran the zip after doing a superwipe. I was coming from ARHD 6.6.3. After the zip installed, I ran the RomCleaner then battery icon mod and restarted. After a long first boot, I went through the initial setup fine. I installed titanium backup and uninstalled a few remaining TMo apps that SuperWipe didn't remove (along with a few other preinstalled apps) and now I'm installing all my regular things and restoring various backups. No issues so far but haven't done much beyond what I just stated.
[HTC Sensation] ceroglu:
I am going to try this route, can you tell me where to find the flash-able 4ext recovery for ICS?

[HTC Sensation] computerslayer:
For those who are running into boot loops after super wipe, flashing the ROM and updating the firmware, make sure you have hboot 1.27. You can download it from the friendly firmware thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767) in the second post where it has the list of carrier patches. The link to T-Mobile's is http://goo.gl/4O0Tq

I didn't realize this (don't think its been mentioned or I missed it) and just figured it out after an hour of boot loops. Ugh.

Good news is, ICS (official) lives! Looking good.
[HTC Sensation] silentsnow31802:
If I flash the RUU do I lose root and/or S-Off? Now that the official ICS is out I would like to get my radio and such updated to the latest versions.
[HTC Sensation] cruznbiyou:
It would excellent if someone could confirm......if someone has a completely stock Sensation (No root, completely as original).....can they update manually with this ZIP?

Thank you anybody!
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
Anyone been able to extract the wifi calling apk and the nescessary modules for it?
[HTC Sensation] el7145:
i think you lose root, but you keep s-off

if your on GB and you use the zip you will get a bootloop, you need to have hboot 1.23 or higher and the 3.32 firmware
[HTC Sensation] alireza_simkesh:
Just flashed the zip on top of ARHD 6.6.4 which i had previously. Its running fine now.

It would be a good idea if ppl share their experience about this rom at this point.
[HTC Sensation] el7145:
Ok so after more searching i think ive pieced together the steps to go from GB rom to this stock ICS zip.

1)flash hboot to 1.23 or 1.27 unlocked

2)flash to the tmobile 3.32 firmware

3)flash this ICS zip

Ok so is that pretty much it in that order for those of us on GB, and this should keep root too?
[HTC Sensation] ziddey:
If you have no intentions of ever nodding your phone, just use the ruu to update to ics. Otherwise use revolutionary first to s-off.
[HTC Sensation] jahmezis45:
Anyone else having issues with sounds? No sound when I receive messages...
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
For those that ran the RUU:

Can you tell us what radio is included with this ROM?

I flashed the .zip and I know it's the 4.0.0024 RIL, and that points to the 11.72.3504.00U_11.23.3504.08_M2 Radio, I just want confirmation before flashing :-)

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Anyone tried hot spot tethering? Thought I read that T-Mobile requires you to pay with this ICS update?
[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
It's 11.69A... It's right in the file name of the RUU. However, if you flash the deodexed/rooted rom then there will be no radio included. It will have the ril's from 11.69A though.

But I just ran the following in Terminal Emulator...

... and it says I have the 4.0.0024 RIL with this update, so maybe anyone with the 11.69A radio NOT using this ROM should update their RIL too. Just a suggestion.

[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
Yes it does have that RIL (4.0.0024). I just flashed a backup I had of InsertCoin 5.5.0 and ran the same command line as a few posts above yours, and it has the 4.0.0013 RIL included. RIL isn't in firmware, it's in the OS software.
[HTC Sensation] zim2dive:
If I am S-Off (Revolutionary) and rooted (with a very basic GB ROM).. can I run the RUU as my upgrade method (and get the updated firmware as part of the process?).. and/or what are the tradeoffs?

(or do I have to go back to stock recovery to run the RUU)

thanks,

Mike
[HTC Sensation] Jimmah555:
If you're going to run the RUU, make sure you backup your apps and any text messages you want to save, because YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING.

Titanium Backup and SMS Backup & Restore are what I use. As long as you haven't flashed any new firmware since 1.27 (which it sounds like you haven't) and you have the stock recovery (guide can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599816), then you can run the RUU just fine. JUST REMEMBER YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING!

It will be a huge upgrade for you especially. Enjoy ICS and Sense 3.6 :-)

Flash the ruu with your pc. Takes about 8 minutes. You will need to reinstall recovery and reroot. If you are already s off then you will stay s off. Follow this guide for recovery and root: http://www.techsliver.com/how-to-s-...covery-on-htc-sensation-with-hboot-1.27.0000/
[HTC Sensation] stev32k:
I installed the RUU.exe. Everything went well and I can't find any bugs so far. WiFi as a good signal and is stable. Setup was easy and quick and everything sync'd. It was kind of a pain having to reload all the apps & widgets again, but it went well.

The only problem was my boot loader was locked. So I went to HTCdev.com and got it unlocked again. Then I find that the unlock process also wiped the phone so I get to redo everything one more time.

Now I'm stuck on trying to find the recovery and SU to use. All the threads I find are fairly old and do not mention ICS 4.03 or hboot 1.27.0000. I'm not interested in creating any problems so I would like to do it right the first time.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I also have yet to find a way around this. I suspect NOT running the official T-Mobile RUU and going back to like ARHD and adding Wifi Calling will still allow mobile hotspot to work. But I wonder how long that will last. I think they are out to shut this down eventually for everybody unless you pay. The ethical aspect of that is a different topic all together...

as the title says, i was applying the ZAGG invisibleshield wet screen protector to my gnex, had to apply the liquid a couple of times since i didn't position it right in the first try, the phone worked ok for like 1h, after that started freezing, when i take the battery out and reboot, it gets to the enter pin screen then freezes there, sometimes i manage to get to the homescreens, but that's the far i can get , coz it freezes again, i just put it in a bag of dry rice and will leave it for a day or 2, not sure how much liquid got in and if it can be fixed anyways. does anybody have a better suggestion? or any tip i might try? i'm pretty sure the liquid got into the speaker when i was using the squeegee. damn.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Take the battery out. Put the phone in a cup of rubbing alcohol for ~5 min. Take it out. Take it apart and blow dry it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
let us know if the alcohol works. i've always been curious about this. would the alcohol get under the screen and maybe leave some particles or residue behind? esp if theres some glue or something inside the phone that would get dissolved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Well rubbing alcohol will evaporate REALLY fast. Just make sure everything gets dried before you turn it on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ikeny:
I would not dunk my phone in alcohol. Just blow dry it for a while then leave it in rice for a week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
Putting your phone in rubbing alcohol (or any alcohol really) is a bad idea. You know how it is sold in 70% or 90% purity levels? You know what that other 10-30% is? Water. I would put it in rice for a day and hope for the best, take the battery out and put it in the bag as well, along with the back cover.

Had you followed the instructions for the ZAGG invisible shield, you would have taken the battery out and left it out for the installation and another 12-24 hours after installation to avoid an issue such as this. Live and learn though. I've installed them 4 different times and have done the same each time, leaving the battery out for at least 12 hours, though usually closer to 18-20 hours and the first time, a full day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
i dont know why people use those type of screen protection. it gives orange peel feel.

any way, you can always call custom support and told them your phone keep freezing and reboot. they will send u a refurbish one. if your phone is rooted or running other rom, dont do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceejay83:
lol dunking your phone in alcohol, have you even done that yourself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
Yes, commit fraud AFTER posting about it online. If you ever wonder why devices and insurance costs are going up (and then you complain about them), this is the reason right here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ddgarcia05:
Go to hobby lobby and buy some silica or what ever its called. The stuff that comes in new shoes to collect moisture. Put in a zip lock bag with that stuff for a couple days. It'll works better than rice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justin94:
This and rice will leave tiny particles under the screen unless u rinse it first...... which will negate the whole process anyways. Isopropyl rubbing alcohol will work. Look for the 100% stuff

Phones are getting more expensive because someone returns it after it stops working, after applying a screen protector? Are you sure it's not from the advancements in technology and the increasing demands for rare minerals.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
i turned the phone off and took out the battery for the installation, but i powered it on like 30min after that, i didn't a warning anywhere where it said to leave it for additional time off, plus all these people on youtube apply it without even turning the phone off.

i didn't do the alcohol trick though, as my phone didn't fall into a swimming pool, i'm kinda hoping the amount of liquid the entered was not that big, plus it's not water, it's that special solution that comes with the screen protector, it usually has a bigger density and also evaporates quicker than water, so i'm hoping the corrosion won't be big. anyways, it's stilll inside a closed bag of rice, it's been in there for ~21hrs , will keep it maybe for an additional day just in case. the problem is i powered the phone on when it started freezing a couple of times, instead of putting it right away to dry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UltraBoykj:
Phones are not getting more expensive due to "insurance fraud". Load of crap.

Rubbing alcohol? I presume you're trying to make sure the guy's phone dies completely so he can get a new one.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
XO screen protector here with no orange peel, and feels much smoother than a dry apply. You were saying?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justin94:
The rubbing alcohol has drying properties. It evaporates very quickly and takes the water residue with it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
Consumers can't buy 100% pure alcohol, even if you could, I still wouldn't use it as alcohol isn't that chemically different from water, so it would still be bad for the internals of the device.

People returning phones that they knew they had broken and voided the warranty is why companies make it that much harder to get warranty replacements now. You think that Sprint, VZW, and Asurion raised the cost of insurance plus the deductible just to make extra money? How naive are people? I also like the fact that three different people suggested returning the phone after it almost certainly had water damage. If the water set off one of the indicators in the phone, then the OP would be screwed and get charged full retail for the replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
i agree with the rubbing alcohol theory, it helps against possible future corrosion issues, but as my phone didn't fall into a swimming pool or washing machine i didn't want to go extreme on it, so i picked the rice method, looked all over for silica gel bags, i know i have them somewhere ,but couldn't find them, so i only ended up with the rice method. i took the phone out now, after being 25 hrs in the rice package, it powered up well, got passed the pin screen (where it used to freeze) with no problems, and so far so good, tried the speaker it worked, also tried calling myself from another phone and in-call speaker is also working. will keep an eye on it, hopefully i won't have any wifi or signal issues (like other people reported), my only fear is corrosion on the long run, but getting it to work now with no issues would satisfy me at the moment.

edit: the water indicator still looks like this , so hopefully not a lot of liquid entered..
