So I got the notification that there's a Software update for my HTC Sensation; 1.45.162.1 (41.09MB) - Android 2.3.
I'm rooted via Revolutionary and still on original Vodafone (NL) stock ROM... However the update doesn't work for me. All I see is the green Android with a Triangle and an exclamation mark in it....
So after some search it seems that some other people have this issue, but that was in the tread for the 1.45.401.2 update....
Now what I would like to know now is this; Do I really need to go back to S-ON or is there any other way to get this update?
I'm asking this as going back to S-ON might brick the phone and also as I don't seem to find the original ROM in this thread.
Also, this as the instruction on this page clearly says:
Restore your official stock Rom: Just click here to download an Official Rom RESTORE STOCK EVEN IF YOU JUST RESTORED IT RECENTLY OR ARE ALREADY ON STOCK ROM. This is to ensure nothing gets changed in stock for S-on to be successful

So..... I'm kinda lost now and I'm wondering how to proceed?? Would someone enlighten me?
THANKS!
as far as the US TMO update..you just had to be on the stock rom. You'll still keep S=OFF. And I'm still S=OFF after the update.

Ok... Strange... Any idea why I got stock on the green Android with a Triangle and an exclamation mark in it? The only way I can use my phone is to remove the battery and then it starts again, but it seems that it hasn't been updated.
If you backed up your original stock ROM w/ CWR, then restore in recovery.
Then run the update.

But I'm already running stock rom... All I've done is rooted my phone and removed some bloatware such as The Sims, Soundhound etc. But that wouldn't be the problem would it?

Did you change your CID ?

Unroot & make sure you have your stock recovery...not cwm recovery. You'll lose root regardless when you update but you can re-root afterward.

Yes, I did. However I'm not sure if that's still the case as I've used CWM to put back the original stock rom after I didn't like a custom ROM.
How can I check if I still have Super CID?
EDIT: I can confirm that my CID is 11111111. After exploring the forums I also have tried to install the updates with the following CID's as well;
HTC__E11 + VODAPE17.
However without any luck!

EDIT: I do have the first backup (made using CWM) which I made before I rooted and changed my CID. But that's not what you mean? This as this is the first backup I made from my device.
Ok... I'm fine with that BUT:
I don't seem to find the original ROM in this thread.
I do see Vodafone's UK, France and 3 HTC Europe Roms... So not quite sure what to choose?
This as the instruction on this page clearly says:

Is there any other way I can install the updates?
And will I have the same problem in the future as well, with other upcoming updates?
THANKS!
I think it's strange that OTA vodaphone 1.45.162.1 gets pushed to your phone if you have set Super CID, because OTA is based on CID. I had to change CID after I unbranded my phone(installing stock RUU HTC EUR), to get OTA 1.45.401.2.
It should work when you set CID to 'VODAPE17', or maybe the problem is the phone being unlocked, you should have chec.ked before using revolutionary that an RUU was available to restore your original rom..
At last try to restore your first backup, and set CID to 'VODAPE17'.
Also try to download the OTA file on your phone and copy it to your computer.

As far as I know I haven't unlocked my phone... All I have done is the following:
- Rooted via Revolutionary
- Installed CWM
- Made a backup
- Made sure I had Perm root access
- Set the super CID.
Yeah... I know.. I should have done so, but I was too excited I guess...

That I can try! Thanks.
So I've downloaded the OTA file and I think I understand why the VODAPE17 doens't work. The update is called: "OTA_Pyramid_Vodafone_DE_1.45.162.1-1.35.162.1_release_208996.zip".
So I'm going to try with Vodafone DE CID and see if I can update!
Will keep you updated!
UPDATE: No, even with CID set to VODAP102 I can't get the update installed.
So I extracted the zip file and went through the files and saw a file called: updater-script.
I opened this file and saw the following lines:
assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,
"22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" ,

Now... I already have tried all the 3 Vodafone CID and the super cid is 11111111. Should I check the rest as well or what can I do?

Hi - I had exactly the same issue as you - it turned out that the OTA will not run if you are S-OFF, I had to go back to S-ON and then install the OTA, then go back to S-OFF.
Worked a treat - then I decided that I didn't like stock and installed a ROM - lol

Hmm... I see... So there's no chance that I can install this while having S-Off? Even not with CWM?
Also, would restore to factory setting do the trick as well? (Instead of using RUU?)
ok don't worry abt the S=OFF .. its ok.. You need to find the RUU of the rom that originally shipped on your phone. Run it via your pc with your phone connected and then do the update.
You may have to set your CID back to the original... I did but I didn't test it with 11111111 first.

Is there any way to figure out which rom was originally shipped and the CID on my phone?
Running the RUU shouldn't be a problem as I've done that a couple of time when I wanted to install EnergyROM on my old TP2.
Thanks.
so where is asian update ? i'm stell waiting but it didnt come
one question, my device is rooted now, can i update ?

That's what I did and I was running 1.35.162.1.
While searching the forum and Google and checking the OTA update I noticed that I needed to have RUU of Vodafone DE (Hence the 162 code in my software information).
At some point I came across a website which had posted the "latest" RUU for Vodafone De; RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_DE_1.27.162.1_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_191975_signed.
So I downloaded the file and ran it. After this I searched for any OTA updates and I could download 1.35.162.1. I was able to download and install this without any problems.
After a restart I searched again for any other updates and I could download the latest version which is 1.45.162.1! Again, I was able to download and install this update without any problems! =)
So I guess everything is just working right! Luckily I'm still S-OFF and some how the phone seems to be MUCH faster then it used to be!! So I'm all happy again!
THANKS again for your help and everyone else!!
So wait...you were able to install it with all the custom mods like clockwork recovery s-off and root?? I tried installing the update but it wouldn't install assuming because I had the custom recovery not stock. Can someone clarify? I have a t Mobile branded sensation also. Thanks

Not quite...
I was only able to install the OTA updates after I run the original RUU... Without it I wasn't able to install as well.
A lesson which I learned today is that you need to flash to the original RUU before you can install the OTA's.
Hope this helps.
Glad to see you managed to sort it out, just curious, what is your hboot version now ?
Hey,
[i'm new here, but i couldn't find a post with this exact problem]
I've been using my HTC Sensation rooted for about 8 months now on 2.3.4/5, and with ICS officially being released i want to update to ICS.
I do have my phone rooted but i do not have any custom roms installed.
In theory it should just update OTA to ICS but when i try to update it my phone reboots and then it gives me this image of an android mascot besides a warning mark (the image didn't work.). Is this superuser blocking the update?
Now i'm wondering what is the best way to get ICS update to work.
At this moment i don't care if i lose the root on my device.
I've been thinking about flashing it so that it would remove the root, make it S-on and remove superuser. (basically make it like it was when i bought it.) and then updating it to ICS.
Any help with my problem or on how to handle the flashing will be appreciated.
If you're rooted, download 4EXT updater, flash 4EXT recovery, flash the 3.32 firmware, then flash an ICS rom.
If i'm correct that will give me a custom rom.
And at the moment i would like to keep the rom stock because i would like all the options to work.
If i'm wrong and it will update to stock rom, then i'll give it a go.
Otherwise is there a way to update to stock rom?
You can't be rooted to flash the OTA, and you HAVE to have the stock recovery too
alright so i need to unroot the phone and somehow manage to uninstall superuser (if it doesn't uninstall with the unrooting).
So my question then is,
Is this possible to unroot the device?
Maybe someone can link me to a good tutorial ?
You need to restore stock recovery and your oringinal Rom intact ( not delete apps in the stock rom). Stock recovery can be obtained from RUU.
Or just flash New firmware and custom Rom if your phone is s-off.

Guide for debranding or going back to stock.
Basically you need to download your stock RUU and go back to your original CID (if you supercided).
The guide basically covers almost all your concern in returning to stock rom and recovery.

i'll give that a go tomorrow and let you guys know what happend.
[dumb noob question!! this should make my phone look like it was when it came out of the box right?]
If i'm correct i need a RUU.
Is it possible to do this tutorial using the OTA update file i got for the ICS update?
Update
So,,
After 2 days of trying to download a good RUU file.
I still don't have it, filefactory always says that the free download slots are all taken.
So i would love if someone could tell me if it is possible to just flash the update file called:
OTA_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_R-1.50.401_release_252072fll6erqo75dsziua.zip
I would appreciate a reply telling me if this is possible or why it is not possible.
As said, you need to be on a stock unrooted rom and stock recovery.
Is your phone branded or unbranded. What RUU were you trying to download? 1.50.401.1 or else?
Also, did you supercid or not? if yes, you need to go back to original CID to get OTA.
Do not attempt do flash the OTA.zip from a custom recovery because it will fail.
I have RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_R_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_228602_signed wich is the latest GB for european unbranded devices. If this is what you are looking for, I could upload it for you. Let me know.
@kualmente
I would appreciate it if you could upload your RUU so i can use it.

I still have stock rom and recovery, i only rooted it and did supercid.

sure you can, if you are looking for stock rom, you can use this one, this ICS RUU from bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1581333... And please read the OP, so you will have stock looking phone.
Here's what happened. I was using internet-pass-through with my Sensation XE for me download games and saw in my notifications that there's an available system update which is the android 4.0, etc. I downloaded the file and installed it but right after i got stucked with picture of an android and beside it is a exclamation point in a triangle. I removed the batt and turned on the phone and nothing happened, nothing new. So, I searched in youtube and saw a way of updating ICS in my phone. My phone had S-off but still using Stock rom. I entered the bootloader then CWM then formatted the system, cache, then tried to update to ICS since i got the zip file already in my SDcard. After then, the installation was aborted, it says cannot fine system/build.prop or something. I rebooted my fone and I got stucked up with the HTC logo and white screen. Omg please help me.
Please help me. :'(
To get Ota update working you need the stock unrooted rom and stock recovery.
Best is to make a backup of your apps and data (not system data) and run an official RUU to revert it back to stock unrooted, then update with OTA.
After upgrading to ICS you can flash CWM or 4EXT recovery and root again.

Sorry sir but I'm so newbie at this. I already made a backup of my apps and data. The question is, how am I gonna run an official RUU? Like use the CWM?

And oh, btw. I upgraded my firmware to 3.32 and flashed darkforest ICS 6.1.0 and I think it worked but I'm gonna stick to the OTA ICS update. How am I going to do that? Downgrade my firmware to 1.17 and is it automatically unrooted? Then, flash original RUU then update OTA. Is this correct?
RUN RUU!
RUU is what You want to run.
After RUU you'll have a stock gingerbread. Then check for updates (in phone) and you'll have Your OTA.
Hello,
i have a problem , i need to find the original RUU for my Sensation because it has the "Dust Problem" and i want to send it back to HTC.
When i bought it the Android version was 2.3.4 and Sense version was 3.0.
Anyone knows which RUU i have to download to restore my Sensation ? I know 1.50 it's ICS, but i need Android 2.3.4.
Anyway, do i need to reflash PG58IMG for Android 2.3.4? Actually i'm using Android Revolution HD with ICS.
And what about radio.img? do i need to flash an older radio version?
Thank you
Nobody can help me ?

I found something in another forum and yes, RUU 1.45 should be the 2.3.3 one.
But before launching the update utility do i need to flash the correct PG58IMG for RUU 1.45?
Downgrade from 3.32 to 1.45 isn't working, and if i try to do it with the phone On on fastboot the utility crashes.
My phone is still untouched and working 100% with ARHD 6.63. Nothing bricked it, phew

EDIT: 1.45 is Android 2.3.4... i made a mistake..
I still need to find the 2.3.3 one . Any idea?
If you run the RUU it will flash everything, firmware, radio, rom etc. So you don't need to flash PG58IMG first. I guess for 2.3.3 you will need the 1.35 RUU then. You can find it in the schipped rom collection, sorry i don't have it

Thank you all for your help, i solved my problem
I post how i've done it, maybe it'll help someone.
The problem was that i had android 4.0.3 and when i was going to launch the RUU the utility was crashing, so i tried to switch the phone to fastboot usb and re-launch the ruu, but it was crashing again.
So i downloaded the pg58img for RUU 1.45, an older radio version, found on the android revolution HD official site and a deoxeded ROM based on 1.45 RUU.
1. I modified my phone with SuperCID 11111111 (before it was ITA No Brand so HTC__405).
2. I flashed the radio, then the PG58IMG and then.
3. I wiped all via recovery (boot,cache,dalvik,data,system) and installed the 1.45 based rom.
4. I've unchecked the "fastboot" option and activated the "debug usb" option.
5. Connected Phone to PC (charge only) and launched the Rom Update Utility.
6. The program detected my phone correctly and installed the ROM correctly.
7. I rebooted my phone into fastboot and re-setted the SuperCid to the original one (HTC__405).
8. I've returned to S-ON locking the bootloader via adb "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3".
Done
Now the phone is ***LOCKED*** with S-ON and with RUU 1.45 installed. (I unlocked it months ago with revolutionary).
Thanks all for your help
ClockwordMod Recovery v4.0.1.5

Software version 1.29.531.2
Kernel 2.6.35.10-gb7a86da
Can anyone give me some instructions or link on how to upgrade to the latest USA T-mobile ICS Rom?
Thank you.
Same here. I've read so many threads, I'm confused as to which procedure to follow...
I have:
Android 2.3.4 with Sense 3.0 (Stock Tmobile ROM)
HBoot: 1.17.1111
ClockworkMod: 5.0.0.8
Could some post the steps to install the stock TMobile ICS onto the rooted phone?
First of all you have to get rid of CWM to get OTA to install.
In this case you have to back up everything and flush T-mo RUU. It will bring your phone to stock condition with HTC recovery. Then go to Settings and check for HTC updates.
S-OFF does not matter. ICS installs fine with S-OFF.
Here where you can find T-mo RUU: Thanks to original poster!
I saw 3 files on that link to RUU. Which one to use to flash?
What do I have to backup from the current phone?

This is the link to RUU: LINK
Back up everything you use, contacts, apps, oh.... I especially backed up my CoPilot... Whatever you think you like, Angry Birds???? LOL Especially if you beat a lot of levels, then back up data.... won't need to start from scratch...LOL
Emails, SMS/MMS... oh well..what you care about. Use Titanium Backup.
Don't forget your Google account, so you won't need to create new one. As you flash RUU yer phone gonna be at point 0.. You'll have to go through initial sign in and so on....
Good luck!!!
Thanks to T-Macgnolia for the RUU!!!
That link goes to the Gingerbread RUU.
Is there a way to install a TMobile ICS update without using the OTA update?
Like update firmware and then the ROM or something???
I read several pages here, but I'm still uncertain what to do.

Oh... well.....
What can I say...... You have to be on stock GB ROM in order to get ICS OTA update.
And yes.... Steve0007 posted rooted version of T-mo ICS update. You might try to flush that one.
I dont mind if its not OTA, I just want to update to ICS. I think the link I listed above is to the TMobile ICS file, but I'm not sure how to install it.

Here's what I did:
I downloaded the official RUU for T-Mobiles Sensation 4G and flashed it. And bam, ICS on my phone. It does wipe the phone so backup your stuff. I did take out my SD card so I don't know if it touches it or not. Buy its that easy. And I'm still S-Off by the way

No the RUU does not do anything to the SD card, it only deals with the NAND memory of the device.
For those of you out there that do not know what an RUU is please read the quoted post below

RUU stands for ROM Update Utility. This is a utility that is run via a .exe file that is used to flash a stock ROM, stock radio, stock splash screen, stock recovery, and stock firmware of a device. The utility performs a cleaning of the NAND memory of the device before flashing the included stock software. So a RUU is often suggested as a way fix common problems and to unroot a device. The utility also runs a set of checks on a thea device before flashing such as CID (Carrier Identification), battery level check, and firmware version check.
A custom RUU is does the same as a RUU but it has been modified to not run the CID check and sometimes other security checks. You can flash custom ROMs, different radio versions, splash screens, and firmwares. You can even use a custom RUU to flash each of these individually.
