This is one great guide for those who want to restore their phone to stock rom and S-ON (warranty purposes). Also, the guide addresses and perfectly explains stuff like CID, SuperCID and how to change these aforementioned things. There are links to step-by-step setup of HTC drivers, AndroidSDK and adb and many useful stuff.

Simply awesome.

I managed to restore a HTC Sensation to stock rom, locked bootloader and S-ON.

Well done, kgs1992. And thank you for answering my n00bish questions on IRC =)
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Thank you. And no prob. We're all always there to help! :)
[HTC Sensation] Rvl7:
I have HTC Sensation (non xe) out of the box with GB (S-On & Locked bootloader)

my friend tell me that my GB RUU. is this

RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.707.1_Radio_10.43a.9 007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198358_signed.exe

somehow my sensation update to ICS (so ICS OTA) automatically

now i have This information (3.32 with S-On and locked bootloader)

how to downgrade to Gingerbread again?

with this guide

[GUIDE][MAY.03.12] How to flash ICS 3.32 firmware | flash/update ARHD 6.6.x ICS ROM (step Do you want to go back to Gingerbread?)

flash proper GB (Is my RUU correct?)

is there any notification if wrong RUU? (so we can void semi brick cause wrong flash RUU)
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
You got an Hboot preupdate error once, right? Then this is the output of second run?
[HTC Sensation] Rvl7:
no i have not error, it just update outomaticly (OTA) to ICS.

just want to downgrade to GB.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
EDIT: Neither will work, you are S On.
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
You need S-OFF to flash modified/unsigned zips.

If you are S-OFF already, change CID to "T-MOB010" & flash the 3.32.531 RUU.
[HTC Sensation] Wesley1990:
Hello, help pls~

hi, after i flash back the correct RUU, it mean my phone is original stock, S-on and unroot?:confused:
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Flashing an RUU restores everything back to stock.

The only things that it cannot change are things like Security status, CID, MID, SIM Unlock, etc.
[HTC Sensation] Wesley1990:
Thk~

So can i take to claim warranty by this status?
[HTC Sensation] kgs1992:
Here's a quote from the OP to answer your question.
[HTC Sensation] etcn0ugh:
I have a locked sensation 4g with s-on. The guide says that I need a RUU with newer or equal software. My phone is 3.32 but the only available ones for Bell Canada are 1.35 and 1.45. Is this okay to install? What are my options here? Thanks in advance!

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Yes it is.

Can you please post the link.

:)

Hi,

I suppose that if you run the GB RUU,and then use the update,it will work.

Are you s-off?

Hi,

Glad it worked for you.

There is no need to quote the whole [OP]

:)
[HTC Sensation] kairanz:
i want to ask something

my sensation did stuck on edge only, not getting any hsdpa at all

i want to try solving its problem by reverting to stock

but i want to verify something :

1. i'm supercid, do i must write my CID to other supported CID or i can use any ICS RUU to flash stock ROM?

2. after flashing RUU? is sdcard being formatted?

thanks for your answer
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

No,there is no need to change your cid.

I assume if you are SuperCID,then,you are also s-off.

In which case, it should not matter which RUU you run.

RUU will return your phone to stock ROM,radio,firmware,kernel,recovery.

It will not touch your sd card.

:)
[HTC Sensation] kairanz:
thanks mate for the answer

once more, after flashing RUU, my CID return back to normal or still in supercid?

and do you know which firmware that contain hboot version 1.18?

i would like to s off via revolutionary not by joupunutbear
[HTC Sensation] malybru:

I'm confused with what you have.

Please go into bootloader and post here what it says.

[HTC Sensation] Itsakash:
Flashing ruu does not interfere with cid

It will as it is , it just check what cid u have.

And If u have super cid then u must soff ed

Coz without soff supercid not possible

And if u had s off , u can flash gingerbread/ics ruu.

Ruu contains respective firmware no need to flash it separately

is it RUU 1.45 ?

Yes,1.45 is GB.

But what does your bootloader say?

Hi,

OK.

You are good to run the GB RUU.

:)
[HTC Sensation] kairanz:
thanks mate

hope after flashing GB RUU it will solve my "stuck on edge only" problem

or do you have any solution about my problem?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Before you run the RUU,go to the market ,and get the app called "Getril".

Run it on your phone,and see if your radio/ril combination is the best for your area...

:)
[HTC Sensation] Hellmanor:
Hi!

I wanted to say thanks for this guide.

I just wanted to have stock firmware, cause there was dust under screen and I want to give my Sensation to service. Before that I had 1.28 unlocked via htcdev and s-off with wire-trick. I read this guide and downloader only avaible RUU for Orange PL (Gingerbread). I was surprised when after flashing that (by .zip, not exe) I saw 1.18 LOCKED with S-Off!

Maybe that info will be usefull for someone!

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] kairanz:
it was said my RIL was match to baseband
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Look HERE

Read the thread carefully before doing anything.

Try flashing Universal 3.33 firmware.

This will update your firmware,and give a later radio version.

This may help with your signal problem.

:)
[HTC Sensation] kairanz:
hi

tried flashing the universal 3.33 firmware and update my ril via GetRIL

and now it's not getting any signal at all. even EDGE
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

OK.

Well,it was worth a try.

I have no idea what is the best radio/ril combination for your area.

You can try experimenting with different radios.

The thread is HERE

Check :

Settings>about phone>software information>more>baseband version for the radio version you currently have.

You had :

radio-11.22.3504.07_M

before this change.

You probably have 11.24A at the moment.

You can either go up to 11.29A

Or go back back down to 11.22 or below.

:)
[HTC Sensation] kairanz:
once more mate, my GPS is also not working, same like my 3G connection

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

error 155 usually means a connection error.

Make sure you are not using usb 3.0 slots or hubs.

Try different slots (front and back)

Go into bootloader-->fastboot ,then , plug in usb cable (use a good cable)

It should read fastboot usb.

Then, run the RUU.

Hi,,

You are s-off.

You do not need HTCDEV.

Hboot 1.18 is GB.

Flash Universal 3.33 firmware.

i am so stuck please help

I'm sorry if I am being stupid however I have been searching for hours :/

Here goes :

I have a HTC sensation XE which has an unlocked boot loader from the HTC site , currently s off and rooted with a customer recovery

I want to unroot and reinstall the original software and get rid of the root, I then want to s off and flash a ROM to utilise Bluetooth with six axis.

However in don't know where to start !

Am I able to flash original ruu without relocking the boot loader ? Or do I have to relock it...

Also after installing ruu and unroofing. Can I s off via your method without the wire trick ?

Please help

Thanks !
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Your post needs clarification.

You say you are s-off,then you want to s-off.

Can you go into your bootloader and write down everything there,and post it here.

HTC Soft Bricked

Hello, I need urgent help with my HTC AMAZE, several weeks ago was making an S-OFF my smartphone and I did but when installing CM10 while booting the smartphone is turned off and did not respond in a way that not even loaded but with instructions XDA, I could give unbrick. After that install the ICS RUU STOCK quitting but when booting just restarts when you try to enter or make RECOVERY FACTORY RESET, and saw that it was still S-OFF try to unlock the bootloader but although the screen presents options unlock not unlocked, you also install the HBOOT 1.90.0004 (PH85IMG method) but will not let me install the GB ROM and now I can not install the RUU ICS because it tells me that the CID is incorrect.

I've got an XE with unlocked bootloader, custom HBOOT 1.27.1100, 4EXT reco. Do i need to flash HBOOT 1.29 or just lock bootloader, get back to CID HTC__044 than execute the matching RUU?

Thanks 4 answer!

If it isn't S-OFF, you can't restore it to HTC__044, but try it anyway.

Then lock the bootloader & flash the right RUU.

Since you are s-on,you would be able to install any other one.

If you have a completely untouched phone,why not just send it back to where you bought it,or talk to HTC ?

[HTC Sensation] kyogoku:
Hi, its past due the guarantee period and HTC in my country are not that reliable so I prefer to try the RUU first before going to them. :D

are you saying that I can RUU latest GB although its ICS in my phone now? would it be dangerous?

What the best ROM for gaming - Odexed or De-odexed?
[HTC Sensation] Rhian:
That hasn't much to do with gaming performance.

See:

What are ODEX, DEODEX and Fsync?

Explanation by _that:

Disabling Fsync might give you extra I/O speed (at a risk). Overclocking gives you more CPU speed, but in all it's pretty much a balancing of everything at the cost of battery power. (Better performance costs more power).

Other than that, read up on some ROMs and kernels, then test a few. Be sure to read the requirements and installation procedures.

i have been trying to do this and my cid is htc_017 which one do i download and my software is 3.32.422

Is that suitable?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

HTC have become crafty and managed to incorporate an s-on mode into their updates.

You are not the first I have seen this happen.

That is also why you no longer have a custom recovery.

Are you XE?

no, i'm using a non-xe sensation. yeah, what happened to my phone really sucks, but i didnt update anything when this happened. how can i edit something in the rom.zip if i try to open it, it always says windows cannot open the folder and that its invalid? repairing the zip using winrar, makes it give me a signature error.

Something happened to your phone,because it will not lose s-off and recovery on it's own. :eek:

Have you tried THIS ONE?

yeah, i know, i just couldnt figure out what i did, i flashed the custom rom as i always did, and i've used that rom before. only thing new i did was, partition the sdcard to have swap partition and installed swapper2 and link2sd.

i'll try that ruu, hopefuly it'll work

did you relock the bootloader first before using the ruu.exe?

Hi,

Error 155 is a connection issue.

Do not use hubs or usb 3.0 sockets.

Try different sockets,especially at the back of the pc.

Try different cables.Use the HTC one that came with the phone.

Go into recovery,then fastboot,then, connect the usb cable and make sure it says usb fastboot.

step 4.2 from this guide

adding your cid
[HTC Sensation] confli©t:
hi, that's what i'm trying to do, but the problem is, all ruu's that i download, when i extract the rom.zip from the temp folder and double click on the file"rom.zip", it says its invalid. i can only open it using winrar and if i drop any file to the zip file using winrar, it wont let me. so i'm asking why, i mean, im talking about 6 ruu's here, and they all do the same thing, they're all corrupted? i'm asking if there's something i need to do to add files to the zip or anything i might be doing wrong.

thanks

[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

You can flash a custom recovery when you are s-on and unlocked.

To change files in a zip, open it, but do not unzip it.

Copy the file you want to edit to your desktop. Edit it.

At the top, click delete and choose the file you edited.

Click add.

Select the file you edited.

Close the zip, and try to run it.
