I apologize if this has been asked already, but does anyone know the RUU for the Sensation on sale from Telecom NZ?
I've flashed the latest Revolution HD ROM and am having no end of battery related problems (overheating, discharging very quickly, etc) unfortunately the great tweaks do not outweigh the requirement for a functional phone so I would like to go back to stock.
Maybe someone could recommend a good guide for returning completely to the stock state (Unrooted, S-On, etc) as well?
Thanks in advance...

follow the link hit ctrl-f and type step 5. should lead you to "STEP 5 - CHANGING BACK TO S-ON - ...... blah blah blah"
hope that helps
Thanks for that, I'm still a little confused as the instructions say to find the closest RUU to the stock ROM for your handset, however I do not know which RUU came with mine.
I'm really hoping someone here knows the answer?
Thanks again.
UPDATE: I've restored a backup I made prior to flashing Revolution HD and I have the stock ROM again. However I'd still like to know the RUU if anyone could please let me know? Will need to put it completely back to stock if the issues I've seen turn out to be a fault with the handset itself
After doing your nandroid restore you can go to settings - about phone - software information.
There should be a string in there which says something like 1.35.405 or along those lines. This is the version number of the stock rom and will tell you which ruu you need to use to revert the phone to factory defaults.
If you are not sure post the complete version number here and I will try to find the right ruu for you.

Thanks for that, the software version is 1.34.781.2
I could not find a match for the RUU in this post:

Thanks again!
Sorry buddy, don't know why I said I would find it for you. But of an insult to your intelligence really. Couldn't find it either but it appears baadnews cooked a rom based off it according to a google search for it. Maybe you could try sending him a pm and see if he has it our a link to it?

Hi b.coxy,did you find RUU for sensation on Telecom?Had you completely unrooted and restored to telecom stock firmware?I also wanna unroot and restore my sensation z710a back to stock rom.I appreciate if you could help. Thanks.
I too would be interested in the New Zealand RUU for the Telecom HTC Sensation.
Just in case I need to go back to stock for some reason.
Never managed to find an RUU sorry. In the end I had to reflash my original backup of the telecom stock and go from there.
Have since upgraded to a One X but will be happy to have a dig around for that backup if anyone is still in need?

Okay, I'm pretty sure no one on the sensation forums has posted a thread on this yet.
I'm fairly new to the Android experience. So sorry for any noobness this might seem.
So here's the deal, I'm really excited that the sensation got S-Off treatment a few days back (So I take it we can flash all sorts of custom ROMs right?). Though I'm fairly satisfied with the stock ROM on my sensation, I'll probably flash it in the near future (you know, when htc decides, it's no longer worthy of updates.) But what happens if I regret installing a certain ROM and want Stock sensation ROM back?
If you're lazy:
How do I get stock sensation ROM after having flashed a custom ROM?
Simple run a nandroid back up through cwm so you can revert to it
Clockwork mod
okay, so nandroid is an app I can get from the market right? Though I have no idea what cwm is, so... if you'd be kind enough, i'd love it if you could explain it to me. Also, does this back up to my micro sd card? And if so, is it in the form of a file/folder that i can copy to my computer?
thx in advance~
thanks! This seems like an awesome app!! So before I go and S-off my phone, is this any different from the other methods of flashing rom? and why is the recovery file amazingly small? 4.5megs for the sensation?
You can use the ruu.exe application from the development thread. Its an exe file you just need to run and it will flash over any rom and restore S-ON to your phone. The whole process takes about 5-7mins. I had done that since I s-off my sensation and realized it needed to be sent back for warranty (dust under screen).

Hi all,
I was wondering if there's a way and/or a guide to revert to normal? I rooted my Sensation XE, did that CID stuff, put clockwork on it and did that S-OFF thingy.
Is it possible to revert everything back to normal? I still have a backup of my original OS.

I have an Asian factory unlocked, rooted Sensation z710e with insert coin 3.4.4 and ClockworkMod. I received it this way from the seller and have an issue where insert coin is causing an app to not work well. I would like to go to a current American stock firmware, but keep the unlocked state, stay rooted, and keep clockwork. How should I proceed? I have a NANDROID backup.
I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1201773
But the files in that thread are missing. Is there a more recent thread that I can follow in order to return my phone to it's original settings etc?
I by the way flashed my stock rom, I backed it up before flashing anything else. I only need to remove the root, S-OFF to S-ON and remove that recovery.
Can someone please help me?
Read through the first post in this thread. Its how to do it AND how to undo it. Specifically the following part:
For Warranty Purposes/Returns:Follow Step 4 below for removing Clockwork and Root

PS - Why do so many people insist on doing these things THEN looking for a way to undo it? I mean, sure you can undo it, but what if you couldn't? Seems like common sense would say you should know how to undo anything you do in case it doesn't work, you don't like it, you need warranty, etc.
Thanks
I have had issues with ICS (Revloution and Insert Coin) in random reboots (seeking answers to that in another thread), but my nandroid backup failed when I tried to revert to it using revolution recovery. Phone was stuck on white screen with green HTC logo for 1 hour.
Eventually I reloaded an ICS ROM, and am living with the reboots for now. Good to know I can get a stock ROM and return all to unrooted state even though my backup is borked.
U know, i dont know if S-on really needs to be done. HTC shipped S-off devices to TMO employees; not even high level. top salesman at every tmmous store got one. My wifes sensation came s-off. I've never had to ship it back but I doubt TMO would say **** about it.
Hi XDA,
I appreciate that somehwhere on this forum this question has probably been asked, and resolved.. but I really need some help here because either I'm dumb or this just simply hasn't been covered with the words 'Sensation XE'
Right, I installed Virtuos ROM (AOSP Ice Cream Sandwich). I upgraded my Firmware to the one that it uses, but quickly decided that AOSP is simply not the way for me. In order to downgrade back to a GB ROM, I flashed the 1.73 HBOOT version.
I then went about installing Android Revoloution, however for some reason I am experiencing instability within the system. I have installed it through 4EXT, formatted the system ect. So I decided that I wanted to revert to Stock and go through the rooting process again and basically re-install everything.
This is where I got stuck. There seems to be absolutely no Stock Sensation XE RUU's on XDA? I downloaded one RUU software number '1.45.401.3' however it tells me that I need to find the correct Rom Upgrade Utility.
Could somebody please point me in the correct direction of a Stock Sensation XE ROM. Not one that is Rooted or anything, I mean a genuine RUU. I have looked at the S-ON guide and the collection of Shipped ROM's however none say that they are specifically for the XE. Thank's in advance!
ISSUE NOW SOLVED​
Putting the phone into Fastboot and then trying to flash '1.45.401.3' works for some strange reason. No complaints, Stock ROM re-flashing as we speak.
Could you provide me link to the stock rom... as i too want to revert back on stock rom, does simply flashing the rom resolved your problem?
Well, I got my Sensation today, and I'd like to know what to do first.
I have a Vodafone branded HTC Sensation, with compilation number 3.32.162.11, Base band version 11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2, it comes with ICS Sense 3.6.
I'd like to know how to be able to install a recovery and install other roms, and later return to the same branded original rom, in case I have to send it for warranty.
I'd first like to know how to do all of this. Also, I'd like to save the original RUU, but can't find it.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure what you're supposed to do is search the forums to find the answer to your question that's been asked over and over again.
That's why he told you to goto that link and read. Has all the information you want.
Yeah, the thing is I can't find the RUU I currently have, and I'd like to have it before doing everything on the link provided...
In that case, make a nandroid backup. Know what you have stock and assemble the bits needed.

Using the method: " 1) Easy Method for Installing ICS Custom Roms ( S-ON Devices with hboot 1.27.0000 ) " from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26277186#post26277186, without S-OFF, how can I go back to stock, if I have to return the phone to warranty?
I can make a nandroid backup of my current rom, which is the stock one, from Vodafone, updated. The thing is I don't have the ruu to restore the vodafone branding + ICS. And I can't use an older Vodafone ruu and update, because of hboot version. I can only flash the Europe ICS ruu, which I don't know if will void the warranty with Vodafone (since it gets debranded). I assume the phone goes to HTC and they just check that the bootloader is locked, S-ON and unrooted, and they fix it and don't care about branding but still... Technically even if I do the nandroid backup of my current rom, I can restore it, but won't be able to remove the bootloader lock without flashing a complete ruu, correct?
I rooted my HTC Desire S after downgrading it's HBOOT from 2.00 to 1.47 something. I was not satisfied by using customised ROMs with lots of bugs so I flashed stock ROM HTC Saga Asia India and then updated it by mistake or you can say foolishly. Now my phone is not booting and it is stopped on logo screen. I tried to use recovery but it just wiped data and and reboots when I select Install Zip from sd card.
Any fix for this? I have to go to HTC care center or it can be sorted out at home? Thanks in advance.
hi,
i thing you have been flashed wrong RUU, or your procedure is wrong,
have you know your phone's cid
post here your phone's cid, anyone suggest you which ruu file you have to flash.
If you could explain properly and in proper readable font, what steps exactly did you perform to reach this phone state - people would help. As it is, my eyes hurt from looking at your post, I only see huge letters and can't read anything out of them.
it's same case with me..
and now i need some help too
