Hi guys, I had a little play around with my phone a while back before ICS came out and was a bit unsuccessful. From what I can gather, it was the Super CID part of the guide that I missed out, and when I installed the custom ROM it got stuck in a bootloop.

I was unable to sort this out in the short space of time that I had, so I gave it to a friend and he changed the hboot to 1.17.2008.

Currently the phone says S-OFF but no root detected through Titanium Backup. I am a little unsure about what I need to do next to either get it back to stock or at least to a point of being able to install a custom ROM.

Also I do have Clockwork Mod installed.

I installed Android SDK, and HTC sync to find out my CID and after a lot of forum searching I came to a point where i'm stuck now on which RUU I need.

I think this is the one that I need as I am with Vodafone UK and have the normal Sensation

RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_UK_1.24.161.1_Radio_10.39.9007.00P_10.11.9007.09_M2_release_190798_signed.exe

I also read that the software version part of the RUU could be anything higher than what I already have on my phone, in this case it being Android 2.3.4 Software Version 1.50.161.1

If I am wrong then please point me in the right direction.

Am I right in thinking that I can install using CWM and this should sort it out, or am I missing a ton of stuff?

Hopefully someone will be able to help me out with this one.

P.S I am not too good at understanding some of the abbreviations and slang that you guys use so could you dumb it down for me please :silly:
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
OK:

For root look up SuperSU then you can install it through ClockworkMod, "Install Zip from SDcard".

If you're on 1.24.161 (I had also installed that) it doesn't seem to let you apply OTA.

For some RUUs look at: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid

I found and installed 1.27.161 then went through the OTA updates to get to 3.32.161 (Vodafone UK with ICS). I only did this to get a backup just in case I need to send it back.

If you have SuperCID you can install 3.32.401 or 3.33.401 which are WWE RUUs, i.e. unbranded so no Vodafone crap.

fastboot getvar cid ------------------------- to find out what you have

fastboot oem writecid 11111111 ---------- to write SuperCID

fastboot reboot-bootloader ----------------- restart bootloader

fastboot getvar cid ------------------------- check it's been written correctly

x.xx.161.xxxx == Vodafone UK == CID "VODAP001"

x.xx.401.xxxx == WWE == CID "HTC__001"

Of course both can be installed with Super CID.

As you have S-OFF you can install a custom ROM, CID is not important. However a couple of points to note:

i) Get the Superwipe scrips from the ARHD thread, This ensures a completely clean phone prior to installing a new ROM. The RUU process automatically does this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1098849

ii) You need to ensure that the firmware has been updated to the version recommended by the custom ROM, There is a thread "User Friendly Firmware" that you can look at to help on that. So you'l need to read the custom ROM thread to ensure you have the right version installed.

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

Note that installing an RUU or Custom ROM will NOT remove S-OFF from your phone. However, if you install a new RUU you'll need to reinstall your custom recovery, ClockworkMod, via a PG58IMG.zip file is easiest. I'm assuming you know about the generic file PG58IMG.zip and its various uses.
[HTC Sensation] Whiplash87:
You should try reading this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

It's a very useful step-by-step guide!
[HTC Sensation] Spalding89:
Thanks for the hasty response, had to leave for work so I have only just got chance to look at this.

If I have read this right then I write the "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" to my SD card and follow the relevant steps to get root.

Then optionally go through the process to get Super-CID and then download:-

RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_UK_1.27.161.1_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_191974_signed.exe

this should then enable me to receive the ICS OTA update that I have been getting the notification for, for ages :)

or

RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed.exe

And then I can write any custom ROM after this?

Hope you can understand this.

P.S I have done a backup into CWM just in case this goes wrong :)
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Yes

You don't need to install either to install a custom ROM. However, If you install this you'll automatically get the 3.32 firmware and radio. Then as long as the custom ROM has that as a requirement you're fine. Just need to SuperWipe then install.

The x.xx.401..... RUU has less bloatware, i.e. NO Voda crap.

I also found the 3.33.401..... RUU at: http://htcfanboys.com/download/rawdealer/?action=browse&folder=4141

If you just want a custom ROM, install the appropriate firmware (as detailed in the custom ROM's OP) from the XDA forum I mentioned then SuperWipe and install it through CWM.

MAKE SURE that you take regular Nandroid backups with CWM, just in case !!!!
[HTC Sensation] Spalding89:
Thanks for the help :)

I now have successfully move over to ICS using the RUU that you posted the 3.33.401.1 version.

The only niggle I have now is that after installing Titanium Backup to restore my apps and data it says that I have no root? no SuperUser, and I can't seem to get into recovery, as if its not even there.

So I went through the process of downloading the appropriate file from this thread "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300"

and trying to get the phone to install it itself through the Vol down + Power way but it did nothing.

I then tried doing it the cmd method and it still doesn't work.

When I type in the command - "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

it comes up with " OKAY [ 0.341s]

writing 'recovery'...

FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 0.342s"

I'm sure everything that I have done is right but if not then could someone please shed some light into this problem please :)

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
You'll need to install recovery via the PG58IMG.zip method. Do a search for "PG58IMG-CWM5020.zip" or some such term. It'll need to be renamed to be exactly "PG58IMG.zip" on the root of the SD card. Then the next time you go into the boot loader it'll ask you if you want to install it. When it's finished it will ask you to press power to reboot, at this stage you either need to have deleted the file, renamed it to something like PG58IMG-CWM5020.zip or removed the SDcard or it goes in to a bit of a loop.

You should then be able to get into recovery and install SuperSU.zip as before.

I tend to keep a copy of the CWM in the PG58IMG.zip format on my SDcard.

The Power Vol- possibly isn't working as you have FastBoot enabled in setting. To make sure just pop the battery out, wait a few secs and try again.

EDIT:

Found one for you: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28365583&postcount=4509

Just checked the MD5 with my copy of PG58IMG-CWM5020.zip and it's exactly the same.
[HTC Sensation] Spalding89:
Thanks again :)

This worked great first try, it must have been the file I downloaded because this is the exact way that I did it before.

Now I will try to open recovery an write superuser.
[HTC Sensation] Spalding89:
Followed Step 3 of this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

And after installing Titanium Backup so that i could restore my backup, it comes up with the error message that i have no root.

:( What have I done wrong this time?
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Installing SU is a straighforward install zip from within the custom recovery.

Did it come back with any messages. Step 3 is a little muddled, confuses nandroid backup with installing the zip.

i) Do a Nandroid backup first.

ii) Install Zip from SDcard

choose zip from SDcard

Yes - Install xxxxxx.zip

Osh Bosh should have root.

First of all notice that i needed the ad-hoc connection to use my tab in junction to my android phone when i'm on the move.

Said that I've found the way to share the phone connection via bluetooth: Obviously isn't fast as a proper wifi, but until someone (daveba ?) will patch the wpa_supplicant, this is the only solution.

On my phone i've downloaded from the play store Foxfi. There I have activated the bluetooth dun connection.

On tablet side i've downloaded from the play store pdanet tablet & configured to pair with my phone.

And ... TAADAA!!! i had back my connection on the move.

I repeat, it's not a proper solution, but until someone more coding skilled than me get the patch done, this will work.

You can still use your phone!

Nokia phones have dun connection via bluetooth, so pair your phone with your galaxy tab and start pdanet.

From there use the configure button, and select your phone after that is appered in your list.

You Can't find a solution in that post because is clearly written that there's NO SOLUTION at the moment: wpa provided in galaxy task (and a couple other i tried) don't work on stock ics, and i'm assuming that it's a matter of how ics handles wifi configuration. I don't have android coding skills, but if you read all the thread you should already know that someone (that atm can't do it) will patch it for us.

BTW i have to warn you that are avaiable some programs for windows that create an access point connection instead of an ad-hoc one. You can try this: http://mhotspot.com/chatroom.html
