I'm going to root and flash my Sensation tomorrow. I just had a couple of questions before I do and I wondered if somebody might help me.
I'm concerned if I have to RMA this phone the won't take it back if it's S-off and flashed.
Is there details I need off the phone such as the original radio version and Super CID number if I want to return it to back to S-ON and RMA to HTC?
Thanks
Nik
no worries, its easy to return i had to do it. takes about 15 min to s back on and flash the original ruu, then delete superuser and clockwork off your sd card and your golden. instructions are farther down in the guide on how to root in the dev section. if iv helped please hit thanks

Hi
A few things worth making a note of are your current ROM and radio numbers.
Try to find an equivalent original Ruu ROM to the one you have now. Check the numbers in Settings> About Phone> Software.
Go to this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
There is a link to some original ROMS . If yours is not there, do a search.
Read the thread carefully!
Follow the instructions to the letter.
You should be fine.
Thanks for the replies, ill check all my numbers before I flash the android revolution hd rom tomorrow. I hit thanks when I get on a pc tomorrow

I purchased a HTC sensation in india which was running 1.28.720.2. I used the revolutionary tool and acquired s-off. I did a nandroid backup of the stock rom. But then i found out that the backup is corrupted so if i need to submit this phone for warranty, i will be in trouble. I am right now running ARHD 4.1.10 and when i tried to run a HTC RUU of 1.28.720.2, it failed. Am i doing something wrong with the RUU? Is there any other way to go back to stock ROM?
Try changing it CID to 11111111 then run ruu. You can change it super cid to Indian one later.

Here is a very friendly beginner guide to unrooting and going back to stock rom. Just add the http:// to the front of theunlockr.com/2011/10/03/how-to-unroot-the-htc-sensation-4g
Kind of a noob to this so please bear with me.
I bought a new Sensation and got rid of a few bloatware. I'm now considering flashing a custom rom but want to have a back up of the original ROM. I found that it's being hosted here filefactory .com/ f/ c87a2330449af512/" but every time I try to download it, it says "All free download slots are in use.You can download this file immediately by upgrading to FileFactory Premium. Otherwise, please feel free to try again shortly. "
Can anyone mirror the following file?
RUU_Pyramid_SKT_KR_1.46.911.4_Radio_10.57.9035.00U_10.14.9035.
Much thanks.
Ok guys here's the deal. I recently rooted and flashed but after coming extremely close to bricking my HTC sensation I want to restore it completely to stock. New phone and I just want to be safe with it. My baseband version is 11.65.36504.00P_11.19.3504.29_2
My build number is 2.08.401.1 can anybody find me the complete correct stock and ruuthing. Also can you tell me if I would just nex to flash them like a normal Rom. Story but Iwould also really like to know if I would get HTCsync back and be able to receive normal updates . Thank you for your time and help

To be able to point you into the specific direction you need to provide some additional information, especially like:
- country
- branding/provider
In general you can find all available stock RUU here:

I would strongly recomment you to read, re-read and search (google or XDA) if you have questions.
Anyway the starting place is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
o S-OFF allows you to install stuff that you need by bypassing phone security.
o Recovery (e.g. ClockworkMod a.k.a CWM) allows you to install ROMs. It also allows you to do a complete (well almost) phone backup and recovery of the phone. So it's easy to get back to a prior version, Nandroid backup/recovery.
o SU gives you admin rights on the phone.
o SuperCID alows you to install any county's /carrier's ROM. e.g. debrand the phone from the shipped ROM.
There are a myriad of ROMs in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1112
Have a look at the number of replies / number of times they've been viewed to get some idea about the popularity.
You'll need to make a couple of decisions:
1: AOSP or Sense based ROMs. The stock one is Sense, pure Google Android is AOSP, they each have a different look and feel.
2: GB (Gingerbread) or ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich). ICS is the latest BUT BUT BUT needs additional steps to be performed to update the phone's firmware. I WOULD strongly suggest starting out with a GB ROM first as there is less likely to go wrong.

Surely the post immediately after your OP answered the question, or did it not ?
The other posts, including my earlier one, answered a different question. Hence the comment from another poster, sorry don't have the name, mentioned hijacking threads is not cool.
sorry i am a newbee.........but the post you gave was a link for guide to s-off and s-on....and i have completely done s-on...........but still worried to have official ota as my phone is still 30 days old

OK getting the thread back on track.
Did the post after you original one answer the your question.
If not, get the phone S-OFF'd and SuperCID then just install an appropriate RUU, then you'd get the OTA.
EDIT: or just reinstall the RUU for your county/carrier
Most people are going away from shipped ROMs here and trying different ROMs with their good and bad things.
So you mean to say that we can get HTC update with s-off and original ruu only......and u mean no need to do s-on also ????

Look, someone posted a potential solution. Someone else asked a different question (hijacked thread) which was answered.
Please explain the current situation and the attemps you've tried that have failed.
HBOOT, Recovery, Radio, ...... That info is crutial. Also what you are attempting to achieve .
i had s-off and rooted and now i have succesfully s-on and unrooted my device and now i am on official stock ruu...........my question is that can i update my phone via ota updates from htc???
I think OP is trying to ask if flashing an Asian RUU and going to S-ON will turn his T-Mobile Sensation 4G into a proper Asian handset (and therefore get OTA updates that official Asian handsets do).
I'm not sure if it would (maybe there's an IMEI check?), but I would change my CID to be what it should be for that RUU (and not leave it at supercid).
i have supercid my phone and i remain on t-mobile ruu then will i get official update
I'm actually quite curios to know the answer, if I just s-off my phone will I be receiving updates from HTC, I got the T-mobile phone and I live in the middle east, my phone does not read arabic, I'd ultimately like to install a middle east rom , but then will the official updates stop?
I don't think anyone will know until the OTA drops. My hunch is that having the right RUU and CID would mean you get the OTAs. Having supercid will probably not work, since that's essentially what identifies your region.
But putting my XDA hat on, why would you want an OTA anyway when we have legendary chefs here to get you hooked up with good roms?
btw, I tried out one of the InsertCoin ICS roms, and the Facebook app could read Arabic and Urdu properly (right-to-left with joined letters). I didn't check the browser, but it probably would have worked as well. (In GB, you'd have to patch the system libraries to get proper letter joining)
I guess you wouldn't, I just read some people commenting about having some bugs in their custom roms, so I just automatically assumed that the stock roms are at least stable. the other reason is that I'm afraid to break something
I just went through this, I had s-off with super cid and had the stock HTC Europe RUU flashed on my phone.
The phone detected an OTA update was available (an old one that was released after the RUU), but when I tried to download it, it just timed out. I reset my CID to HTC__001 and then it downloaded the update OK.
i bricked my phone while doing s-on
i know its a true brick as nothing is happining not even the charge light
can u tell me that "would this have affected my motherboard or not"????

Eventhough the screen is cracked, the phone is working fine right?
So, you should be able to go into the bootloader and put on the stock ruu.
wrong place where to ask man...there is a Q&A thread for something
download the RUU specific to your phone to windows and install via windows , should return your phone to stock. Plz ask this in relevant forum, this is not development dude
