For those that lost root due to the TMOUS OTA 2.3.4 update, here's how I got it back.
When i updated, I had to install the stock recovery for the update to take affect. When I reverted back to stock recovery, the update flashed. I wiped my device, however, and thought that I'd be able to keep root and use Titanium. I was wrong, so here's how I fixed it:
Requirements (mostly just reminders not really telling you what to do here....)
1. S-OFF prior to updating
2. Stock Recovery to process the update
3. Disable Fastboot (Settings > Power > Fastboot)
Regain Root on 2.3.4 OTA Update
1. Download the HBoot CWM Recovery and SU flash able ZIP file from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
2. Place the HBoot CWM Recovery file on the root of your sdcard (i.e.. sdcard/)
3. Power off device
4. Go into HBoot (Vol Down + Power)
5. Flash the CWM Recovery image
6. Reboot
7. Delete the CWM Recovery file off of your sd card
8. Power off
9. Reboot into Recovery (can be selected through HBoot if easier)
10. Choose the SU Root ZIP file that you downloaded in step 1 and flash it
11. Reboot, you're rooted with CWM Recovery again
This method work perfectly for me. I imagine anyone who did the OTA Update and has Rooted their phone would know they went to Stock recovery to apply the update or were always on it.
Thank you for the guide
Noobish question, how did you remove CWM and go back to stock recovery? Perhaps you should add this to the OP.
I was just gonna write this up. Oh well. THANX! I'd press your thanx button but I used them all up already. Maybe a beer?
EDIT: Can you please write up a how-to for going from whatever anyone is on to TMOUS Stock 1.45.531.1 + CWM + Root ? I believe it would be really helpful and I am just too lazy to do it myself
WARNING After installing the OTA, the bootloader now says in pink on the very top
******LOCKED*******
Also, Fastboot flash commands don't work (trying to flash splash image)
HBOOT is now: 1.18.0000
Re-running Revolutionary fixes it. and extended Fastboot commands work again.
And brings it back to 1.17.1111
if someone made a nandroid backup of the ota rooted thru cwm couldnt you just load that instead using the restore option?
As always gents.... Just a tiny tiny bit of patience will go a long way.
If your already rooted through Revolutionary, there is zero need to flash any official FOTA. Not sure why some people seem to want to try it out when they're already rooted? It's NO different than the Euro 2.3.4 OTA. Peeps all over these forums and the web are saying the same thing....no change.
Actually worse if you count the fact that heavy graphically intense games crash now as they do with all stock kernel 2.3.4 Euro ROMs.
Rooted versions of the Tmous 2.3.4 FOTA are already rolling out (birgertime I believe has one out). Give it a day and there will be more that are heavily customized like the ones from Baadz, Lee, Mike etc
It's easy to understand why people want to install the latest official firmware...but if you're rooted and or want to be....there is no need to ever go through official channels (HTC/Tmo) to get your updates.
Just for the people who might be unclear. To everyone else... carry on

Keep one thing in mind though... Your brother in-law & friend should realize that if they do ever one day want to root, they should stay far away from any official HTC updates. HTC will make them agree to an online waiver that will void many parts of their warranty if they choose to use HTC's online unlocker.
If they ever plan on rooting, they should go through Revolutionary....simply because it's the best of both worlds. You can have root, HTC/Tmo will never know.... and you can now get S-ON back after Revolutionary for warranty repairs and such
Quick question. I just got my sensation replaced with a new one(previous one had problems) and it came with 2.3.4 can I still get s-off and root?

I am new to this rooting stuff and been spent most of yesterday learning and asking questions. Here is what I did and some questions I got from it.
1. I rooted using the guide from ace hack it, took me a few tries but got it working.
2. Noticed I went from GB 2.3 to 2.2 after it. So is there a way to get to 2.3. This will lead to another question a few.
3. I loaded my first Rom off the SD and it was Leedriod. That gave GB 2.3 but was having difficulty with gps. But I was happy to know the rooting and Rom laps worked for me.
4. So I tried the offical ATT RUU through usb and HTC sense. It worked but also put me back to stock. Is this a way of putting your phone back to stock? I do have ace hack it on the phone because when I reboot I can get into it but if I select recovery from the menu it seems to lockup my phone.
5. Is the term Rom and RUU interchangeable? I see people using both or am I reading it wrong?
Thanks for any help. I have been reading pages of this stuff and its making my head spin. I just wanted to ask some questions to help understand this better, since I'm new to it.

A lot of instruction say to 'clear cache'. How do you do that? Is that the wipe cache option I see from the ace hack it menu?

Ruu=Radio Update Utility
Rom=the OS you see/use on the phone.
When you ran the Ruu, you unrooted your phone. You'll have to rerun the Hack Kit to regain root but not S-off and to be able to flash a different (preferably custom) rom.
Do you have a preference for Sense or AOSP?
I figured that I had to rerun which is ok with me.
I don't really use sense because there aren't many options to it. So I would try asop but o don't know what is

If you're S-OFF, all you have to do is flash ClockWorkMod recovery to regain root; no need to redo the whole hack kit.

If you ran the RUU, it will return you to a stock ROM, but you are still S-OFF which is the biggest hurdle in rooting your phone. If you want to root after running the RUU, just flash ClockWorkMod recovery via HBOOT and then install a rooted ROM.
That's dang good info. From what I knew, you had to rerun part of the hack kit to reboot. How does flashing CWM root the stock rom?

It stands for Radio Unit Upgrade. But please forget this name: it is confusing, because it upgrade the Radio Rom & the OS ROM, or only one of them.

Easy enough to get the real answer. When I first saw you call it Radio Update Utility it didn't sound right. So I googled it. I saw about 4 names that people gave it including Radio Unit Upgrade but then I thought where did I see it before. Oh yes, right from the upgrade utility.
So I tried recovery again. And my phone keeps getting locked up. The device appears with a red triangle with a red exclamation mark. So i tried the downgrade from the hack it kit. It worked but i still get the same thing. So i tried reverse gold card and i got a error. The same that i got before i reformatted the SD to get the root to work.
So later today, I will reformat and run the hack kit again. I am probably going to try Coredroid ROM.
How is this possible?
I've S-OFFed and rooted with Revolutionary my Desire S. Than I 've flashed it with pree-rooted SAGA S stock ROM (stock, hmmm...) and I've flashed a new radio.
I went on to check the update and there it was! Official update available! I didn't go on, because I',m not sure what it means.
Does anyone know whether it is safe to go on with the update? I don't know which update it is, but anyway, what could happen?
s-off phones with prerooted stock roms can receive updates but as i can see many ppl had problems (stuck on HTC logo etc...) after update
Just plain weird. There are a lot of people (mainly devs) said that you/we shouldnt be able to receie OTA updates if hboot/recovery among other things are not official releases.
Based on what you've done the last tine is update the recovery to newest one? Is it the official release?
If so, this gave me the impression that ota updates are dependent on the phone's recovery version/image?

I've got the updated CVM Recovery via ROM Manager. It is the latest version. Otherwise I still have the old HBOOT ENG 0.98.2000.
I figure, if it's a "stock ROM" only being pree-rooted that could confuse the "official update", as nothing is acctualy changed, only root is made. But that's still weird, because I wasn't given the offer to the official 2.3.5/ 3.0 sense update.
Yet after the "manual" update, the updates continue.
Mind you, there is one strange thing though...
After each reboot phone wants to send the info to the HTC, saying "the phone has recovered/ rebooted strange way. Inform HTC?"
I decline every time...
And I wonder which update could it be? Kernell, sense 3.5? HBOOT 2.00...?
what prerooted rom u use?
update cant be 3.5 only 3.0.3.5 is leaked rom

Beginning of what?? Thats not latest version. There is update to 401.5

AHA! I know what you mean "Adidas108"...
Yeah, I know there is an update to 401.5. But I was given the option to the official update after 401.4 pree-rooted stock ROM...
And am wondering whether it is possible that now the officialy offered OTA could be 401.5? That's what I wrote before... I mean, this maks no sense. There shouldn't be a possibility of an update.
Since I've flashed the pree-rooted ROM, after each reboot phone wants to send the info to the HTC, saying "the phone has recovered/ rebooted strange way. Inform HTC?" Has anyone experienced this?
It sends that maybe because it wasnt fully successful to applyin the updates properly?
Again, still plain wierd. Hhmmm. Yhere mut be something at play here that we still didnt know how updates are pushed.
Im startibg to think that it may be dependent on the network/sim card you're ysing. Maybe by IP address that the phone is connected to?

I have s-off and rooted my Desire S with Revolutionary and I recieved the Sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.5 update yesterday evening. I installed it and now my phone just won't go past the HTC welcome screen. Just white bacground with HTC logo. I can go to bootloader and I already tried some things as mentioned in the threads about how to s-on Desire S from s-off but it still hangs on the HTC logo. I also tried the factory reset but no luck. I think I need to s-on somehow without booting the system and then the new update would maybe work which is already installed. Or maybe I can just reset all the software and make it s-on and start from zero. Any ideas? I just want my phone to work again
Many thanks!

But according to phone software info it did go thru the "cistom ROM" flash OK. I've got everything as it should be after aplying the flashes...
And since there are many replies in which PPL are stating they got stuck at the "white HTC logo" screen. I'm not to sure if I should try updating via officially offered update.
Can those who updated their phones with the official update, after flashing their phones with custom - pree-rooted or any other kind of ROMs, state their software status, before they continued with an official update offered afterwards. please?

Maybe we should S-On our phones before applying the OTA update... But do you have a possibility to flash some other ROM now? Can you even make a recovery afterwards?

some files/images/partitions might not been updated properly. E.i. Recovery, hboot, kernel, etc..
I'm pretty sure we need to be s-on to apply the new update. At least I'm screwed right now. I cannot do recovery, it shows me a warning sign with a cell phone on the background and just stalls there, I have to take the battery out to kill it.
Okay I messed around and now I got into ClockworkMod recovery and I recieved the eMMC fried chip error. I wiped cache and got rid of the errors. Obviously I still have s-off and still it hangs on the HTC logo when I try to boot. What can I do with it next?
Oh and I forgot to mention one part. After I realized that I can't update sense 3.0 and Android 2.3.5 (phone showed me an exclamation mark with android icon), I used RUU to revert my phone to 1.28. Then used phone to apply a system update 1.47. Then used system update to apply the newest sense 3.0 update and I didn't recieve the warning sign. It showed the progress bar of the install and then while booting stalled at the HTC logo. Since then I can't boot up the system.
And for additional info my HBOOT version is 6.98.1002 and RADIO is 3822.10.08.04_M
If u can use recovery why not flash some other rim?
~Swaypovano sa Desire S BRE!~
Ok, but what rom should i use and can I get s-on by just flashing ROM or what?
My first question is: is it possible to get the OTA update on a rooted phone?
The 2nd question is there something I can do to get the Software Update check work?
I realise that my first question may answer this one as well, it's only just that all of the other ROM's I've tried did at least seem to contact a checking service and come back with a response that No Updates have been found. This one just keeps waiting for a response and never gets one.
Want to at least try the official OTA ICS update from Vodafone UK if possible, without having to load a stock ROM and locking my phone again.
Thanks

It has always been traditionally said not to apply an OTA on a rooted phone as, historically, it's caused nothing but problems. Whether the same is true now I can't say BUT I would not recommend it personally
do i need to uninstall only SU, or su and clockwork to install ota?
sorry for my bad english
thanks
CWM needs to go as well - you need the stock recovery
Thanks for the advice. I'll have to go stock if CM9 is a long way off. Or try 7.x again, although I'll really miss ICS.

I think as long as you have stock recovery but are S-OFF; it shouldn't be an issue. I looked at some previous posts , albeit from the Evo forum and it seems to be fine. I could be wrong, though.
I keep seeing people post about being rooted and flashing the OTA update. Now someone please, please, please correct me if I am wrong, but when you flash as new ROM, unless you just flash a new system via ADB fastboot commands, you flash a new kernel and all every time you flash a new ROM. So therefor it does not matter if you are rooted cause the rooted kernel will be replaced with a new ROM. For those out there that do not know the kernel is contained in the boot.img of a ROM. Now in a s tock ROM it is. Of always named boot.img but it is still pretty much the same thing with maybe a little more than a custom TOM's would be. So please people stop wording about being rooted, it does not matter. If you are on the correct stock ROM and have the stock recovery you are good to go to flash and run the OTA. It does not matter if you are S-off or S-on either.
It does 100% matter as otherwise the SU app/binary will still be present and potentially cause issue to the 'stock' ROM. Go look at the Desire forums all over the net for examples as to why you shouldn't flash an OTA onto a rooted handset

Ok I well look into this further when I get home from work. I have not looked at the Desire forums yet, bit I will later today. My question is though are the Desire users having to use the stock recovery, or has someone made a flashable .zip file for them of the OTA? If so this could have something to do with the troubles. Like I said I will check into this further this evening. I still say it should not as the kernel is replaced when you flash the OTA update, bit I could very well be wrong.
It's not that you can't do it, you can, it's just not recommended. By all means try it but should it go wrong flashing an RUU is all that would work

I totally understand what you are saying, but flashing stock is not the only way to fix it, it is just the easiest and most user friendly way to fix it. It is pretty much a one click fix, and that is because of the RUU it self. When you flash via a RUU the utility runs a Task 28 on the NAND memory first meaning the NAND is totally wipped, meaning all partitions, before the ROM is flashed. Now you can also use ADB to remove and reflash all partitions,Splash 1(mtdblock0), recovery(mtdblock1), boot(mtdblock2), system(mtdblock3). cache(mtdblock4), userdata(mtdblock5).
Now back to the question about being rooted, I still have not got home yet to get on my computer to look at the desire forums. Now from what I know root is acheived on the kernel level cause that is what root is. It allows for direct communication with the kernel, again correct me if I am wrong. Now I understand that Superuser app binaries would still be present if you flashed just the system. But if you flash a whole new ROM wich is what the OTA update does, then the kernel is replaced with the kerneel in the OTA update, which by is either a completely new kernel or a modified kernel that HTC has made to work with ICS. I have not had time to look into wich one it is, but from my experience of trying to help port the SDK of ICS to the Sensation it is probably a completely new kernel.
Anyway I will have to do some research on the differences between stock recoveries and custom recoveries. Specifically the processes the recoveries run when flashing a ROM from SD card, and just what all is in the OTA update files. Once I get to do this I will be more able to give a hard core answer to this question. Oh and thinks to the EddyOS for helping to get me back into digging around in ROM files and learning more about how Android works.
Edit: I totally forgot to mention JTAG, this is another way that you could fix the problem, all be it sort of a major over kill for the problem, but still a fix.
Hi guys,
A couple of days ago i followed a tutorial on this website on how to get ICS and Sense 4.0 in my Sensation. I did the S OFF thing then went on to install revolutionary and following all the steps installed ICS with Sense 4.0.
It wasn't working quite well so i did a restore and got my phone back to the pre "this procedure" condition.
Now the official ICS update is out and i cant update my phone. A warning sign and a blue android appears. I suspect this is because of the earlier procedure.
Is there a way i can remove revolutionary and s off and install this?
Thanks a lot

Could you please be more specific. I don't understand

which is the exact RUU I need in this case and where can I find it?

here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
actually rather than doing RUU, you can also just install the recovery. My best guess is that you can't update since you might have been using clockworkmod recovery, thus the update cannot work since it runs in the stock recovery environment.
Try these links :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17830737
http://grealish.co.uk/2011/restoring-the-stock-recovery-image-on-a-htc-sensation/
Also, since this is just the recovery, you might not even need the latest RUU, you can use the older RUU, click the View Readme, and then do a lookup to know its location, the very same folder where the readme originates from should have something like rom.zip, uncompress it and you should find recovery_signed.bin. Use that with the app in the first link I sent. Should work
