Which stock RUU is "safe"? - HTC Sensation

Hi,
I'm currently using ARHD 4.1.3 but for stability reason (phone call cuts), I want to re-install a stock rom + S-OFF + SU.
Which is the "best" ROM (Sensation Original or XE, it doesn't matter) that won't lock my bootloader?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards.

Both are safe as both Hboot 1.17 (original sensation) and 1.18 (sensation XE) can be handled by revolutionary

Hi,
Is there a release that is better than others?
Regards.

And by better you mean....?

The fastest one (knowing it's the stock one) and the most stable...

Its all a matter of preference. Personally, I liked the XE better. Having said that, ARHD as well and wanted to move back to stock, but thought I give inserstcoin a go before switching to RUU. I have been using the IC rom for the past two weeks and don't think I will change to another rom soon! To cut a long story short, I would suggest giving IC a test for a couple of days before changing back to RUU

[Q] Sensation XE Stock ROM for Sensation?

Hey guys,
I have been locking for a stock ROM of the Sensation XE but all I found where custom ROMS based on the XE.
Are there any working stock Sensation XE ROMs? Couldn't find anything with the search function.
1. S-OFF
2. Super CID
3. Flash the XE RUU
You now have a 100% stock XE, albeit with 1.2GHz rather than 1.5GHz

The Sensation and the Sensation do have the same hardware except for the battery right?
Is it possible to clock the Sensation to 1,5GhZ?
Yep, but you need a custom kernel for it

Is there a ROM which is basically stock but has a custom kernel clocked to 1,5 GhZ?
Kind of turning the Sensation into a Sensation XE?
Yep, InsertCoin or Android Revolution HD (not the Sense 3.5 versions)
OR, my stock XE ROM + the recommended kernel

flash EddyOS stock xe Rom then just flash a different kernel over it. You cannot I don't think have pure stock and custom kernel.

Hi guys,
first of all: i am using currently Android Revolution HD 4.1.9 on my HTC Sensation.
but, i am tired of flashing custom roms and looking for the "best" rom.
Now, i guess i want backt to Stock Rom. With flashing Eddies Rom is it possible to receive OTA's in the future (because of coming ICS).
Thx for short reply...

Look the thing is, as soon as any hint of ICS ROM test or official gets leaked, I guarantee that within 2 days there will be custom ROM's so best stick to non stock for now.
To answer your question, no I don't think it possible to receive OTA updates on EddyOS

Yes, with a rooted phone you can install custom a Kernel or Rom.
Download and install ROMmanager. This will allow you to install Clockworkrecovery. Once that is installed you can download your choice of Kernel - I can personally recommend Bricked or Faux kernels - found elsewhere here on xda. Save the downloaded file to your sd card and select the Install ROM from SD card option in ROM manager.
NOTE: Before you install this, make a NAND backup - you will get prompted by Rom manager - this will allow you to restore back to your current position if you experience any problems or are unhappy with the update.

Hi,
The thing is to flash mods using the same base as your ROM.
If you check my sig , I have battery mods for ARHD base 2.3.4 and 2.3.5
Check with your ROM'S dev,to see which base you are using,and then flash the appropriate mod.
ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE YOU INSTALL A MOD
For beats I installed THIS MOD ,because I am on base 2.3.5 using Sense 3.5
Or you could install ARDH 3.6.3 XE which contains beats anyway.

I'm still on stock tmobile us rom, I just came from arhd with no luck so I restored my phone to factory stock then s off and rooted.

You can install anything you want, you just have to know what it is you want to do. Lets say you want to have beats audio (using the previous posters example). You know you have a stock ROM, version 2.3.4 most likely, so just find a beats audio only mod for 2.3.4 bases running Sense 3.0.
Or, as the previous poser says, you can install a whole ROM that already includes it. ARHD basically simulates a Sensation XE by removing the under-clocking on the CPU thats there stock bringing it up to 1.5 Ghz, adding beats audio, and overall just smoothing out the ROM. It looks the same as the stock ROM, it just works better.
The best thing to do is just make a backup of how it is now through recovery, then try stuff out and see what you like. You can always restore your backup and it will be right back to how it was before you did anything.

EDIT: Saw you came from ARHD. Sorry to hear about the bad luck. But yes, you can install mods without a full ROM.

Yeah I did tried 3 of the most recent arhd Rom, it is smooth and fast but has too many glitches on my phone. I tried installing the recommended radio it does fixed my signal issue, but after 3 days of using my phone keeps goin on a black screen when somebody calls me or text me so I decided to revert to stock

Interesting. Did you try turning the CPU back down to 1.2 GHz? I have ran 3.6.1 and only had one reboot before I switched to the beta kernel, never had any issues with 3.6.2 which came with the same kernel I upgraded to with 3.6.1, but I switched to bricked 0.91 kernel and its even better. Tried 3.6.3 and had a bunch of FC problems and issues so I restored back to 3.6.2.
Basically they all have worked well for me, but I've read of some people needing to stay at 1.2 GHz because of problems you have described.

I haven't tried restoring to 1.2ghz , I just restored my phone back to stock I got tired of trying all the versions and seems all of the versions I flashed had issues on my phone, don't get me wrong but I do love the speed and smoothness of arhd its just those fcs, unstable signal and not to mention the black screen issue. But like you said I haven't tried using different kernel I just used the one that came with the Rom and the other faux kernel that one of xda member suggested the beta 10. I even tried the insertcoin 3.3.9 and same issue with signal. I'm on tmobile carrier I don't know if that causes the signal issue with most of the Rom I flashed.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Well, I'm on T-Mobile also and have had no issues, thats strange. Did you flash the recommended radio also? Maybe you need to try a different one if so.
I really like the Bricked kernel, it runs faster/smoother and the battery life is better than the Faux kernels I used - at least what I've seen so far. I run Sense 3.0 so Im limited to Bricked 0.91, but its still plenty good from what I've seen. He is developing more for Sense 3.5 kernels at this point I think.
Anyway, if it was me, I would try one of the ARHD ROMs with a bricked kernel (the kernel can also affect your reception I believe). If you still have issues, try clocking it back to 1.2 Ghz. I too ran IC for a little while, but finally just settled back to ARHD for a few reasons.

Hi,
Have you tried a custom ROM with the original radio?
I know it won't be matched,but sometimes it's a needs must situation.
Use the radio that will give you the BEST signal.
It might just be that it's the only one that will work properly in YOUR area.

What will i have to do to get ICS

Ok guys, I've got the HTC Sensation z710e rooted running sense-o-maniac (all credit to amazing V6-Maniac!) and I was just wondering. When the official ICS update comes out to the UK for my phone will I have to do a factory reset to be able to download it or something because in the Rom there is (quite obviously) no option to search for updates from HTC. Any Info??? really want ICS
You'll need to wait for the officially released RUU files to become available.
Or if you want it now, flash new firmware and install ARHD6.0.3, with the new 1.73ghz kernel - it's fantastic.

[Q] Which is the best near stock ICS Rom for HTC Sensation (Not XE)

Hello Everybody
I am currently using Android Revolution HD 6.1 ROM in my HTC Sensation mobile phone.
I like the firmware for most part, but the browser flickering is annoying.
Eventhough i can use any 3rd party browsers, i want the built in browser to be less annoying.
Also i hate ROMs that deviates from the stock user experience.
Please suggest a good ROM or suggest a solution for the browser flickering issue.
Even Google Chrome Browser not working smoothly and is not yet available for me .
Update to 6.2.1 and the browser issue is fixed.
Sorry, i given wrong information.
I am using 6.2.1 it self.
But i haven't updated the radio firmware and have not installed the XE version and haven't erased data partition after updating it.
Someone told me that only in 6.2.1 XE firmware the browser issue been fixed.
But that required radio firmware update.
I'm pretty sure both versions of 6.2.1 required the updated firmware package as they were based on the new RUU.
So if you're successfully running 6.2.1 then you must have the updated radio etc.

If you have s-off, root and super CID, run the latest ics sense ruu then you will be totally stock.
This will lock your bootloader but you will still be s-off and you can download the superuser app for root privilidges and re-install a custom recovery.
I am running stock ics 3.25.401.101 from an RUU install and have remained completely stock except for a percentage battery mod and a custom recovery and everything runs very well.
As long as you are super CID you can always revert to any other stock rom using appropriate RUU's and unlock the bootloader again using revolutionary.

The best rom 4 sensation z710e

Please what is the best rom for htc sensation Z710e and how to flash it on S-on
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
I would advise you to get S-OFF. If you're on HBOOT 1.18.0000 or earlier it's easy with "www.revolutionary.io", if it's 1.2x.0000 there is a different mechanism. There are various guides to help you get there.
As far as which ROM, well you will get a thousand different opinions about what is best. I guess your first decision is do you want Sense or AOSP look and feel ?
What do you not like about your current stock ROM ?
I like sence. I like my previous sence I just want to upgrade. And I have hboot 1.27 bootloader unlock by htcdev
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
I'd recommend that you continue to unlock and get full S-OFF on the phone. Look up some of the guides to S-OFF HBOOT 1.2x.0000. They use something called Juopunutbear. It'll make life much, much simpler.
I'll let others describe the merits of the various Sense ROMs. Personally I tend to prefer AOSP look and feel.
For sense ROM, Android Revolution HD is a fast and very stable ROM, running Android 4.0.3 and Sense 3.6. Am a user and a fan
imo, best sense rom is Viper 1.1.0.
i've been running it since OrDroid for Sensation got abandoned and it's pretty dope with theming support.
I've now switched (3 days ago) to CM 10 (JellyBean) and will not switch back. I've even deleted my nandroid of Viper just to be sure

and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
after that flash a custom recovery if you don't have it already
then from recovery flash the stock rom(link in my signature)
