I'm thinking it's S-ON. Can you try by creating a goldcard (just for testing and status documentation)?

Also further down the page is a tutorial for returning to s-on. I can't post it because I'm on my phone. I always thought a RUU brings you back to s-on
Not sure how you do it on branded phones

[Q] HTC sensation stock rom

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?

Much thanks.

I want to flash ics based arhd like roms.After that can i unroot and claim warranty by flashing 1.45.720.1 ruu for india above ics without bricking.?
Sorry for being like noob becoz am new to htc
Nobody have experience in flashing stock gb over custom ics.?

to flash the ARHD you need the 3.32 fw which is the ics one and then if you want warranty back you just need to run a RUU from your pc...there are a lot of guides out there that teach how to unroot....

I tried to flash the Gingerbread RUU over ICS and it did not work for me, so I just flashed the 1.17.1100 hboot and use my backup of gingerbread that was rooted and then I ran the RUU and it worked for me.

Return rooted phone for warranty?

I have a rooted phone, S-OFF and a custom ROM and now I cant use it with SIM-card so I am thinking if I can return it to warranty.
So wich step should I take? Is it enough to just flash a stock ROM and then it makes the phone as it was before? Or is the S-OFF still going to be there? And I have dropped my phone before so have cracked glass, but this problem has nothing to do with that, is it an warranty-issue you think regarding to that?
Have seen that there are more then one Stock European ROM, wich one should I take?
You should still s-on just in case, use this tutorial on how to get it s-on and remove everything till it's stock

If that link doesn't work because I'm on my phone, search on YouTube 'how to s-on HTC desire s' by desire fanatics

flash the proper RUU file from here
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c64d333a2755a421/
thanks, going to try this when returning home!
Hmm, I have done everything in that movie but in the last sequence when updating the ROM, I got an error-message that it could not update the phone. Maybe I choosed the wrong ROM?
Its says (translated from swedish) "ROM-updatetools cannot update your phone, get the correct ROM-updatetool and try again"
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed
That one I choosed, living in sweden..and having a HTC Desire S
To make sure, try other RUU first

Wich one?
well I think I have made a mistake now, now it only boots in fastboot or Hboot, so cant boot a ROM at all. When running the RUU I should be in the normal mode right? Or can I start it from fastboot?
Any RUU other than the failed one. I suggest you use euro ruu as you are going to return it for warranty. I dont know if other ruu will void warranty or not.
Just run RUU exe, i think it works on fastboot ( i forgot ).

Okay, will try all of them, the eurpean ones. But takes forever to download from that sites. Like 3 hours for one RUU :/
tryed another RUU, same problem!
Try look at the " how to s-on the noob way " . Im not sure if it helps.

is the phone branded or unbranded?
If it is?!
Then use the correct RUU for the brand witch the phone is branded!

you can flash all roms even with S-ON
if your firmware is 3.32 or 3.33 you are fine to go for rooting and flashing
flash roms with S-OFF

If you plan to soff do it on the 1.18 (GB) firmware. Way easier.
Other wise you can use your device son as well. To update just do three ota update. That's rather easy.
Happy to help.
so this week ill get my Sensation XE at last
now ,
I dont care much about S-OFF because I already own a HTC One X and im living well with flashing boot.img in bootloader
1-the thing I'm going to as is there any kind of a problem ill face if I didnt get S-OFF in early stages ?
2- will updating my device using HTC OTA get my firmware updates the one required for flashing ROMs?
I mean once I unlock my device with HTC DEV after I update my device using offical OTA will my device be ready for flashing new ROMs?

if you have 3.32 or 3.33 firmware version after OTA update(probably you will have 3.33 because it is the latest)
then you can use any ics or jb rom:good:
From my little understanding of the subject leave phone S-ON. Better if you can't write to some partitions from security point of view. It lessens chances of permanent or hard brick.
I'd suggest (based on my very limited knowledge of HTC devices )
1. Format whole phone alongwith SDCard.
2. Update it to latest firmware and updates.
3. Unlock the bootloader through HTCDev
4. Install 4EXT Recovery
5. Enable Smartflash
6. Flash ViperS 3.1.2
7. Thank me once again (optional)
Hope you have a great time with your new friend :good:
