Should i OTA update to android 2.3.4 - HTC Sensation

I am really confuse right now. I have htc sesnsation 4g us version and it is rooted. Yesterday i got this ota update on my phone. And i downloaded it and saved it on my sd card. But i am not sure should i do it or not.
If i update to 2.3.4, am i gonna lose root. And any other feature ?
Or is it better to update?

you probably have s-off so why not just flash the TMOUS 2.3.4 roms that are on here?

i will try that .

[Q] 2.3.4 on BELL/Virgin/Canada

Hey all,
Before making this thread, I DID search, maybe not closely enough...
Anyways, just wondering if anyone has heard of when Bell/Virgin Mobile will be getting the 2.3.4 OTA for the Sensation? It seems like every carrier except Bell has been given this update.
They seemed pretty quick with 2.33? I'd imagine we wouldn't take much longer. How would you update if you're on Telus; do you still get the Bell OTAs by virtue of using a bell phone?

Bell Sensation 2.3.4 Update
I am on bell and still nothing its already September 13th......
What the hell is taking them so long?
I received the ota update last week....
just check for updates..
Nothing yet
Still on stock rom, BTW what rom are you guys using in Toronto with rogers, any recommendations?
Thanks
I'm with Bell on stock 2.33 and I'm puzzled at the lack of the update too. They came out pretty quick with the last OTA and aren't we already on 2.35 or so?
For the way they're constantly advertising this phone, I'd expected more timely updates at least for now.
Checked today and still nothing

Post the file .zip
If someone already has the update, please post it, find the file in the folder called download in the memory card, should be called OTA_Pyramid_etc etc. ..
Thanks..

[Q] will i still get OTA updates after flashing custom ROM??

alright so now i am running Revolution HD 3.6.1 on my Sensation and its working fine.... finally!!!!!!
but now i have 2 questions:
1- will i still get OTA updates?? if not then where should i find it??
2- should i flash the RADIO to Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 ???

1. No, as you're using a custom ROM
2. Yes as it's the recommended radio
alright i will flash the new Radio..... so where will i be able to get the updates??
What were the problems that you were having?

Is flashing a radio dangerous? On my mt4g if you flashed a bad download or pulled battery the chances were that you would brick your phone. Is that true with the sensation?

how am i going to update the android firmware since now i cant do the OTA update ??
right now am running 2.3.4
You just download a new ROM from here when someone releases one...?
Most of the stuff these guys are messing with is leaked stuff, or stuff pulled from other phones that shipped with newer software and its out before the actual OTA is ever even close to coming out. Just check back in here every once and a while and Im sure someone will have something new. Thats half the fun, trying out new things.

When an update releases just run the RUU.exe, it will return you to stock and put you back to stock recovery if you want the ota that badly you can get it, you need to swap recoveries to get ota's. AFAIK.

New OTA.

Just noticed OTA icon on my Sensation this morning.
Does anyone know what kind of update is that?
My phone is rooted, S-Off with CWM 5.0.0.8 installed, but still with the stock ROM.
Should I accept the update or it will mess up my phone?
Thanks,

I haven't recived anything. But you can't update, you need stock recovery as well
I would recommend doing this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228648&highlight=OTA+stock

If you just root and stay on stock then you should get ota updates. And yes you will loose root after updating to ICS. But you can always re-root.
If u have a custom recovery make sure u flash stock recovery bc an official update can brick it. Seen it happen on other phones.

Then u need to make sure all your htc drivers work. Also try getting the ruu from a diff source.

I have debranded my ex vf sensation to a stock european rom and rooted it, too.
So I can't get ota updates any longer? To receive them I have to go back to the vf rom? Is there really no workaround/fix?

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.

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.
