Updates come OTA (Over The Air) - you'll get an alert on the phone so you can download it
Or, you can use an RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) but using one of these will completely wipe the phone so you'll have to set it up again from scratch
Updates are specific to your vendor code so just cause one user gets an upgrade you might not. For example, I have a Vodafone UK Sensation so I can only get updates for my vendor code (x.xx.161.x). An update for someone with an unbranded handset (vendor code x.xx.401.x) would not be applied to my phone

His right..update for someone with unbranded handset need to be root first, which we cant at the moment due to lock bootloader by HTC

N if in case my phone crash how can I flash that n what is pc suite for HTC
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App
If the phone crashes and you need to reload the ROM then you need to use an RUU, depending if it's available. Finding the RUU for your phone is always recommended as it's backup in case the worst happens. I have mine (thanks to baadnewz). If you have a Sensation, go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the software version and we can take a look
For reference, HTC's PC software is called 'HTC Sync' and you can get it from their website (or the SD card that comes with the phone)
EDDY thank you so much for your help...I am 1st time using HTC so asking lots of questions ..thanks again

Wait so OTA updates don't wipe the phone? Hmm I've always wondered that.

Yeah i'm pretty sure it just updates the system.img and keeps data.img in tact.
I was playing lot with SE without problems bcoz I can flash this at home...but seems like I can't do it with HTC bcoz otherwise everytime I have to go to service station..that is bit problem for me now

Correct, an OTA update doesn't lose any data - it just updates the device

Hello everyone.
So a while ago I bought my HTC Sensation XE from a local store here in Israel.
I decided to check if there are any updates available for my phone today... But it doesn't have this button?
I read in the official site that there should actually be a "check for updates" option in Settings > About phone > Software updates > Check now. But I don't have it?
I also think that my phone is rooted and I have a custom ROM but I don't know if this is true.
If it is true, is there a way to reset it to a state where it won't be rooted and will have the stock ROM? I know there is some way with a RUU but I don't want to risk it with the wrong one, so if this is the way could you please direct me to the right RUU and instructions?
If you need more info I would be happy to provide it but I don't know what to provide and where is it so if you would be kind enough to direct me to the info you need so I can provide it, it will be great.
If this isn't the case, then why don't I have this button? How will I update my phone?
Thanks!
RUU's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
I believe you need Windows to flash the RUU, not sure about the exact steps though since I've never used it.
To check if your phone is rooted see if you have the Superuser app and that it works i.e. you can open apps like Titanium Backup without getting errors.
On custom ROM's the Over The Air updates wont work so we (ROM chefs/devs) remove it from the settings menu

Will I be able to update to ice cream sandwitch when the official update comes out if I leave my phone like this? As there is no update button...
If not, how do I know exactly which RUU do I need? And can you direct me to the instruction of how to do it?

Hello, I have to send my sensation to HTC for having some dust in the screen. For it, I have flashed a RUU, I have reverted from supercid to VODAP304, and s-on successfully, (or at least that says my bootloader)
My question is, if is there anyway to know if the process was ok, because when I try to install a OTA update of 28 mb, it says:
"We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software. For your protection, we cannot update your phone. Please revert your phone to the official HTC system software to update your phone. If you did not modify the system software or would like help reverting your system, please contact us via the support section at www.htc.com."
Could somebody help me, please?
Thank you all.
You used the wrong RUU, as I said before
Which one did you use?

If the ruu is only 28 mB, it seemed you're installing an incremental ota. You need a full ruu (~400 mB) then the ota.

No, the ruu I installed was about 400 mb, but if I look for ota updates, there's one of about 28mb but it gives me that error.

That's the point, they HAVE done an RUU but now can't do the OTA as it's probably the wrong RUU for the OPs CID

I used a German one, and I executed it twice. Executing the ruus was fine, 0 troubles.

But the RUU doesn't include your CID, hence the error

But there aren't any ruus for Vodafone Spain . Then?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
Possibly not, in which case you're stuck
Anda if I set Germanys cid, I will be able to download the OTA, but in HTC they will see that I changed it and I'll have no warranty?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
Probably not but they'll know where the phone originally came from so well know it's not German

Hello. Yesterday I unrooted and s-on my sensation, because I have som dust in the screen. For it, I used germany's Vodafone RUU, due there isn't a RUU for Vodafone Spain (my country).
Some people from Spain told me that using that RUU from Germany was ok, but something confuses me: when I try to search for OTA's I get this message:
We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software. For your protection, we cannot update your phone. Please revert your phone to the official HTC system software to update your phone. If you did not modify the system software or would like help reverting your system, please contact us via the support section at www.htc.com
So, I want to know if HTC will see this, or if they'll refuse to change my screen. I'd also like to know experience of others whose country hasn't got a leaked Vodafone RUU, and your experience.
Thank you all
Anyone?

so when you decided to leave stock rom and go custom.... didnt you make a nandroid backup like ALL the threads insist ? If you did you could restore it.
Or brick the device completely and say that a dodgy OTA upgrade caused it (no recommended)
EDIT: Wont a European RUU be good enough ? or a stock Spain RUU, It doesnt have to be carrier branded to re-validate warranty...Just stock

First of all, thanks for your answer. I didn't make a nandroid because the phone was bought already rooted from internet. I don't think so about the stock debranded ruu because they have the info that my phone was Vodafone branded and if they see a stock Rom they'll see I've manipulated the software.

They won't see out mate add go for eu ruu as Spain would come under that more than the German one and as for it not been on voda you have had it unlocked and debranded they.won't have a clue I have done it once my self even left s off they won't relise

Root it and enjoy. There's an HTC One X thread about routing without unlocking the boatloader, but it doesn't work on the latest ota update.

I don't know what software version you have, doesn't match any of these. I would take it to a TMO store and say WTF?
It's just super weird. I never altered the software or anything. It just came like this which messes with my ability to update.

I just received a replacement phone with this software and haven't been able to update either I will take back to T-Mobile and ask wth

The replacement phones, and very few initially shipped phones come with 0.15 baseband.
Those devices won't update to the new OTA. You have to first find the TMOUSS RUU for 0.16 in the development section and run it. Then when your baseband is updated to 0.16 you will be able to update to the new OTA.
edit - at least this is what happened with me. maybe it works on someone else's.

What software number does your phone say it is on? If it has the R2 in it I don't think you'll be able to get the update. It's different than stock. Stock doesn't have the R2 in it.
