Seems like it is, the security patch was reported to be 10mb in size, just like this one.

Still no update for me. Tmobile USA, Michgian

Nope , no root , stock rom and operator free. I forgot to take the screenshot at that moment but now I recall that update description mentioned something about it. Good on HTC they released it pretty fast and on a day ICS was announced

O2 UK Just received it
S-OFF, was rooted

Am I missing out on something?

In Thailand also got this notification too since couple day ago.

got mine on XE too
Just did a quick search for updates when I saw this thread and got one on my new XE - the same one I guess?
Thought I might not need it with a brand new phone but any other XE users reading this... you do
Thanks

My XE is also brandnew...bought it Oktober 7th....it is already rooted, s_offed, supercid and cw-recovery ...can I Do that Update?

I have the same update alert, and when I download updates and click install now, it turns off and a symbol appears and nothing happens, and then I should remove the battery and then turn it on again. and it does not installed!

Indeed! That's good news Hope it fixes most of the issues!
fixes a few issues and bugs, but still no S-OFF...
WTF HTC?!? seriously, couldnt have packaged that **** together?
either way, im preventing OTA's until #teamwin does their thing
this update will surely UNLOCK BOOTLOADER . GOOD NEWS //
This update has already partially leaked! If you search the Development sub-forum yould find the RUUs of 1.35.xxx.xx. It won't be an S-OFF update.

Your answers can be found in the thread discussing the leaked ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1142417
As i understand it, HTC will not unlock bootloaders as standard, but there will be a procedure you have to follow that will allow an unlocked bootloader. I also suspect that you will have to tick a box to agree that by doing so will invalidate your warranty if the problem with your device is caused by third party software. Time will tell.
No..none of this is true...The update is a few bug fixes.
The S-Off will be on the HTC Dev tools site. That's why they're ignoring everyone because it's not going to be in an update. Everyone (basic end users) don't even know what s-off is, so why would they care about it? Get what im saying?

ive never seen a changelog from HTC ^^
Android 2.3.4 adds videocalling if I am correct. But we I don't have the official rom on my phone so it's worthless for now. Let's hope some cooks will cook up new roms out of this one.
pardon my ignorance, just jumped ship from BB to android. can someone explain why this release is a big deal? does this release mean that a new slew of ROMs are gonna be slated to come out due to changes in optimization?

Just have a little bit of patience.. It seems S-OFF phones can't flash this, S-ON can. However, while you can turn S-ON again and flash the ROM, chances are you are not going to be able to make it S-OFF again because HTC fixed an exploit used. Just wait for a few hours 'til someone uploads this ROM to XDA as a ZIP file without HTC's bootloader. For example Baad just stated he'll be updating InsertCoin based on this OTA update. That way, you can keep S-OFF and still have the new ROM.

Once rooted and S-OFF, you NEVER EVER install an official HTC RUU. It could patch the root/S-OFF exploit. Don't be impatient and wait for Chefs to cook some ROMs, or face the consequences.
I'll suggest you just flash back your previous ROM, if it's still possible.

for your information this is what bootloader mode look like, if you note where it did say revolutionary it now says "locked"
This is obviously the new hboot that HTC are using now, i can only assume it would change to *** UNLOCKED *** when using the web tool from HTC (although the above phone is already S-OFF)
Mine is also saying that now, gonna have to wait on either the Revo guys to crack it or do the HTC stuff - it does still say S-OFF though

Anyone receive ICS FOTA?

Like my title, whose Sensation / XE already receive ICS FOTA ?because i saw some forum post the HTC official Europe ICS RUU for public download, i suspect that is fake official RUU.
The posted RUUs are leaked. They were built by HTC.

That can be found with the search button but iirc:
If you update the update will be downloaded but not installed
Then you have to boot in recovery and install updaet yourself

HTC is very slow I have stopped checking from 2 days. I even spoke to customer care they have no idea about it.
I've got ICS here in Qatar on my Sensation XE.
I've also run itno a bug where all Wireless enwtorks disappear within 5 seconds of enabling WiFi, meaning I'm very, very unhappy with the update. It seems to be a common issue with ICS roms, and the bug appears to be in the official release.
Hoping HTC solve the issue within a week, otherwise I'll consider rooting my phoen and applying the fixes which are detailed on this site.

Umm I have an XE and I'm currently in Qatar. I purchased this one in the Philippines.
I don't run stock (VI 4.0.1) but I also experienced this problem when I came here and it's really annoying. We're running the Qtel supplied WiFi Modem (Thomson). The thing was I didn't use it much since the wifi is screwing up and I was just staying home for a few days so I just let it discharge to empty.
I fully recharged it and then it automagically reconnected to the wifi. Weird I know but it's worth a shot
I've talked to HTC agent here in Dubai last night and he said "it will be available within this month". And I asked if it's this month March or next month April as it is almost midnight - he replied within April. Wow HTC in Middle East is kinda slow releasing this update, many have received the update already even unbranded ones got updates all over the globe. BTW i have normal sensation.
Now after hearing to everyone I feel that its better not to have the update if it has the bug which switches off the WIFI. I think Bahrain should also get within a day or two if it is ready for Qatar

i also updated my sensation xe in qatar ics update ota and crapped my device my wifi is not getting switched on it is detecting for 5 seconds and displaying not in range tried all kind of things no chance at all so i returned back to the shop where i bought it and it lying for three days and have confused them pls anyone can suggest me to how to downgrade to gingerbread it is under warranty so what are the chances i have got

I'd warn those who don't have a locally purchased Sensation against installing ICS as released in the OTA upgrade - as per the problem a number of us have, detailed above and in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24390705&posted=1#post24390705 thread.
While I suggest we confine discussion of the bug to that thread, it may be possible to revert to gingerbread if your phones CID has an available RUU which you can execute against. I also have a suspicion (or hope?) HTC have delayed the release of ICS OTA in the Middle East because the issue seems to be based on some sort of SIM related data.
