Do you have to have s-on to get the new update or is it possible with s-off?
If you're s-off with stock unrooted ROM you shouldn't have any trouble.
The 2.3.4 has been implemented in many custom roms i recommend flashing P3D neon plus rom cleaner this rom is very smooth

So again, if I have S-off bootloader with stock European Rom, BUT and here's the catch, it's rooted, and everything else is stock, will I receive the OTA?

i searched a bit but couldnt find a clear answer.. I read somewhere that when a dev posts a stock rooted rom based off an ota that it might not contain all the chipset and firmware updates that a ruu has.. just wondering what the main difference is between a ruu and an ota (other than obviously it comes over the air) and if its better to flash a ruu and root it rather than a pre rooted rom based on ota..
If I am correct it's that ruu is standalone full rom. Where ota is a addon for the 2.3.3 ROM.

thanks, but do you know if when a dev posts a stock rooted rom based on an ota if it contains all the upgrades and benefits that a ruu would

Most of them are based on the OTA as it was available before the ruu. I don't know if there is any difference between the quality.
anyone have any input? i was looking in insertcoin rom OP and noticed that the dev flashed the ruu and then wiped and flashed his own rom and now its faster
He re-did the ROM based on the full RUU as opposed to a patched 1.35 ROM with the OTA file applied. It's cleaner and should be better as a result
thank you, ok so if i just want to go back to stock would i be better off flashing the tmo us 2.3.4 ruu when its available or installing one of the 2.3.4 stock rooted roms that came out after the ota since they are based on the ota?
I'd flash the 1.29.531.2 RUU, then get the OTA files when presented with them
Hello Everybody
I am currently using Android Revolution HD 6.1 ROM in my HTC Sensation mobile phone.
I like the firmware for most part, but the browser flickering is annoying.
Eventhough i can use any 3rd party browsers, i want the built in browser to be less annoying.
Also i hate ROMs that deviates from the stock user experience.
Please suggest a good ROM or suggest a solution for the browser flickering issue.
Even Google Chrome Browser not working smoothly and is not yet available for me .
Update to 6.2.1 and the browser issue is fixed.
Sorry, i given wrong information.
I am using 6.2.1 it self.
But i haven't updated the radio firmware and have not installed the XE version and haven't erased data partition after updating it.
Someone told me that only in 6.2.1 XE firmware the browser issue been fixed.
But that required radio firmware update.
I'm pretty sure both versions of 6.2.1 required the updated firmware package as they were based on the new RUU.
So if you're successfully running 6.2.1 then you must have the updated radio etc.

If you have s-off, root and super CID, run the latest ics sense ruu then you will be totally stock.
This will lock your bootloader but you will still be s-off and you can download the superuser app for root privilidges and re-install a custom recovery.
I am running stock ics 3.25.401.101 from an RUU install and have remained completely stock except for a percentage battery mod and a custom recovery and everything runs very well.
As long as you are super CID you can always revert to any other stock rom using appropriate RUU's and unlock the bootloader again using revolutionary.

Hi
I'm very new to this custom rom thing, but not a complete noob...
I am curious if there are any custom roms that will work on stock firmware/kernel...?
I flashed Clockwork recovery and are using that at the moment
So far i have tried a lot of roms (mostly ICS ones) and the one ones working so far is one of the MIUI roms which i am using at the moment, but it laggs a fair bit.
I unlocked via HTC Dev tool and thus have a weird bootloader at the moment. Will flashing firmware remove this? will i be able to restore the original firmware from a backup i have already made?
Picture shows my current status.
Any suggestions for roms would be helpful.
Thanks
You are still s-on you need s-off to get root access. Get that one first. Then energy sense 3.5 is great stable Rom wich has stock kernal.

+1 on the S-OFF. When you have it and rooted and custom recovery, make sure you do a Nandroid backup ASAP and keep it safe.
I liked CM7, then again I like AOSP ROMs in general. I was dual running CM7 (GB) and Virtuous Inquisition (ICS) on 1.23.0000 HBOOT for a while. Now gone over to 1.27.1100.

Sorry for noob question, but i've tried many things to get S-off, (incuding revolutionary.io) but nothing seems to work. Is there any way to get rid of the HTC unlocking thing and flash something else?

Never Mind.
I found a guide published recently

Followed that, now i am S-OFF revolutionary with virtuous inquisition and new 3.24 firmware.
Thanks
My dad asked me to root his HTC Sensation after seeing my HTC Sensation and all its rooted glory... Well his phone had a different HBOOT. Mine was 1.27.0000 and his was 1.28.something maybe 0000? Well anyways so my HTC Sensation was left S-ON and I just Enabled SmartFlash using 4Ext and mine booted fine. His however I did S-OFF and both our bootloaders are unlocked and both are rooted.
I tried installing a custom ROM (same on mine) and now his Sensation is in a bootloop... The custom ROM in question is Elegancia - Sense 4.1 v3.1.0
I feel like it might be because he was running Gingerbread (I believe) and I was running ICS. However he loved the custom ROM I was using so is there any way?

Since the previous ROM was Gingerbread, the firmware would have been the older one. Just update the firmware to the latest 3.33 and the bootloops should be gone (if not try reflashing ROM after firmware update). There is a guide as well for updating the firmware.
Check the thread of the custom ROM you tried to install, it should state which firmware needs to be installed for this ROM.

Hi,
If you want help,then, it is important that you post CORRECT information.
Otherwise you could be given wrong information which could lead to brick.
If he was running GB,then, his hboot would have been 1.18
If this is correct,then, post the COMPLETE hboot page,so that you can receive the correct guidance...
EDIT:
I notice you also have questions in the Help Thread.
Please keep your questions in ONE place.
Hello I want update my android version from 4.0.1 to latest my phone is att one x and firmware is 2.20 rooted.I don't want to install or flash any ROM just want to update android version. Additional info. My CID is SUPER CID because I changed it while root process. Another question do I get auto update? Thanks.
From what I understand there is great risk flashing the OTA when you're Cid is changed. You can try manually changing the Cid back and flashing.. I have not done this myself. May or may not work. I would wait for your rom of choice to incorporate the latest update changes..

The problem is that i have never flashed a ROM. Because I like sense interface. As far as I know due to the discussions on forum there is no
substitute for sense in aspect of camera. And there is always bugs on ROMs.
A majority of our roms are sense jb with no bugs at all ..go. check out viper xl or clean Rom jb or hatka or the other great roms we have
I'm using UrDroid JellyBean, which is as close to a stock JellyBean ROM as it gets. I'm not even sure he modified anything, to be honest.
