Is there an easy way to flash back to stock to get the new update? I used my
Nandroid recovery I made before flashing custom Rom but i can't seem to get the ota update. Any ideas what else I need to do?

If you're talking about the official update from HTC, you'll have to unroot/get back to stock to update. No one knows when or if that update will come.
As far as custom gingerbread ROMs go, all you'll need to do is a nandroid backup through recovery, wipe, and flash. Shouldn't be any problem there, and if there is you can just restore from your backup.
Just make sure you've read up on the ROM you want to flash so there won't be any surprises when something is incompatible. Also know that there aren't any Sense ROMs on GB yet, so if you're not used to AOSP, you should familiarize yourself with the differences.
Ok thank you, Im happy with my phone as it right now. Until then I just wait for updates.

How did you get the custom fresh rom?
Download Rom manager in market. Or search if on google. Type custom Rom for what phone you have.

I would like to root my HTC Sensation in order to overclock it. But, I want to be able to get OTA updates.
I do not need to install custom ROM's.
Is this possible?
thanks.
If you want to overclock you only need to flash a different kernal you can keep the stock ROM.
I'm not sure if having a non stock kernal will mess with the OTA updates or not.

I think he'll still need to root in order to flash a kernel, right?
And you should be able to receive OTA updates if ur using the stock ROM, but I'm not 100% sure. But one things for sure, u can root ur device and still run the stock ROM.

Flashing a new kernel will **** up OTA as new kernels are installed with the OTA. It's always said not to accept OTAs when rooted to be on the safe side

You have a very big chance that ota updates will be here earlier then you would recieve them. Every update leaks.
If you are rooting your device to flash different kernel, you need to get S-OFF and recovery like CWM. Then it is NOT possible to get OTAs, as it shows the "bricked" Symbol if the device tries to install it.
But after a reboot everything ist just normal.

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.

does anyone know if we will still be able to update via OTA means if we unlock bootloaders,root,s-off etc.... on sony ericsson phones they cant update if they unlock bootloaders.
sorry if this was already answered i didnt find it..... :/
No, not if you're not using the stock rom.
Custom roms will always be updated faster than stock OTA updates.
so when the official ics is released if i reflash stock rom i will be fine when updating?

You'd have to be on the stock rom and stock recovery. So you might aswell run the RUU for your phone and you'll be good to go.

Stock RUU.......
Seems the stock ROM's aren't perfect. Take a chance......
When the ics ota comes out it will likely have a new bootloader which revolutionary won't like. Htcdev should work

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.

Just run the RUU. That will bring stock recovery back.

Can somone point me the right RUU for my eu sensation? I used revelutionairy.io did it change my recovert?
What did revolutionairy.io do to my phone? For i was thinking that it rooted my phone... can i somehow change it back all the way to stock?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
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?
