Hi All,
I'm about to root and flash a new ROM onto my HTC Sensation but before I do so, I want to have a backup of the stock ROM in case I need to take the phone in for a repair.
I'm looking for the Vodafone Australia HTC Sensation stock ROM but can't find it!
Does anyone have one which they could send me a link to?
Or, is there a way which I can make a backup of the stock ROM from my phone?
Thanks!
EDIT: just to clarify, I've tried searching for the RUU but there don't seem to be any for Vodafone AUS. So is there anyway to backup the stock? Thanks! (I'm not exactly a newbie at rooting/flashing, just never had to worry about backing up for warranty purposes before)
i was wondering the same thing! cant find the ruu! hope someone can guide us to restore without a RUU
or some method gets invented

Im bad at posting links. Head over to sensation android development section. Find the roms collection thread and it should have plenty of choices stock and custom.

Not sure if it helps, there are many of RUU in shipped-roms.com, Sensation related ROMs are in http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid
@tingtan Thanks for the link. I'm not sure which one the Vodafone AUS one is. Is there anyway that you or someone else could match it for me? Here is a screenshot of the software info for my phone. Thanks!

hey did you find a way to do it?
People, before you flash a new rom you need to make a nandroid back up! In case you need to restore your phone for what ever reason.....
This is also done in clockworkmod recovery.....
Hit the backup/restore button and you are good to go.
If you look at the step by step install protocols in the tread of your choosen rom, one of the first steps is DO A NONDROIDBACKUP....
Goodluck!

Thanks for the tip! And I assume that if you need to take the phone back for some reason, just restore, unroot and S-on?

you cant S-on without a RUU though? thats what the guide says?
If you do restore,you are unrooted.... But be careful restoring s-on, its more riskie than requiring s-of! Read the threads regarding this proces and do what it says every step!

You'll need to have stock recovery and bootloader, which a nandroid backup doesn't save. And only an RUU, AFAIK will give you those.

Here is a link to an Australian Vodafone stock RUU, I note yours is a slightly newer version than this RUU, however I would expect this would be fine if you need to go back to stock.
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c13...00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_220002_signed.exe (thanks to Football)
BTW you either need your stock RUU or you need to have backed up stock recovery and Hboot before rooting (via temp root) because these are overwritten in the revolutionary s-off and custom recovery installation process. A nandroid backup is important but it won't take you back to stock.
For a short time I've got the RUU in my dropbox, it might be a bit quicker and less ads! http://is.gd/Vaq45l

I was in my Sensation, now I'm downloading at PC

Thanks Mike!
OTA stands for O.ver T.he A.ir and yes, it does have to do with software. Sometimes when you have a smartphone, like a Sensation there are updates to your phone which consists of installing software via the OTA.
Yes I know ... It was the excitement ... And the fact that I was driving xD

theres a beta test program called HTC elevate which is a closed group of 300 or so people, they registered their phones and got the OTA update that way, so its not a leaked RUU, its a final beta rom update before the main public ota release but you can bet its gonna be pretty much like this for final release..

Hi and thanks for share, but this OTA is for Normal Sensation or Sensation XE?
Please delete
So HTC have announced that the ICS update will be rolling out from today onwards... Those of you here who have rooted your phones and installed a custom ROM etc... will you be de-rooting and going for the official release or not?
I won't myself, just wanted to know what the general thoughs/feelings were.
T-L-H
Already got it, but good to know for anyone on stock who's waiting for it
Hurrah, some good news! I'll give it a try after work. Let's hear from the folks that got the update today. I take it that it's for both the standard Sensation and the XE?

I can't see it yet. Do you have a link to the anouncement ?
I'm running ARHD so I'm using ICS already myself but for those of you who aren't.
Link to announcement I read: http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/ice-cream-sandwich-rolling-out-to-htc-smartphones-1070928
That is good news. I'm unrooted for this exact reason, I worked out it wouldn't be too long I had enough patience to wait..... just!!
Here is the official announcement:

Your link was scrambled, here's a working link.

And now we wait for someone to post a guide how to go back to all the official things (rom, kernel, radio)
Do I have to be S-on or S-off for that?

It does say the next few weeks so could be a little wait yet. Not had anything yet, cid is HTC_001 which I would have guessed to be first, but is not the case.

Guys, it's not gonna go out to everyone at once as it'll drown the OTA servers. Have some patience!!

Hi guys!
I bought my unit last december2011 and had it rooted and flashed the bulletproof rom.
I'm thinking of upgrading the software by using the official htc ics upgrade.
My questions are :
1. Is it possible to install the update even with the rom i'm using, bulletproof.
2. If i did download and install, is there a possibility that may device will be bricked?
3. If my unit got bricked, will the shop where i bought my unit knew that i had it rooted if i am to claim that it had been bricked because of the ics update that i installed, to get it replaced?
Hope you could help me on this.

1. You could try, just by searching for a update in settings, about phone, system update.
2. THe device wouldn't brick, but assuming you have s-off it would probably wipe that. And at the moment you can't s-off hboot 1.27.0000 which the ICS firmware updates it to. So your limited to the amount of custom roms you can install. But if your just looking for stock ics you'll be fine
3. Depends on the shop.
Hope I helped!

Hi Zdos!
Thank you for this. Now i feel a lot better. I'm still waiting for the official htc ics update to be released in the Philippines but was afraid to try it because of the possibility of bricking my device. I've watched one video earlier wherein the guy's sensation xe got bricked because he tried installing the official ics update on his rooted device.
I'm not that techie but i love my sensation xe, helps me on my work. Still got lost in the technical terms in the thred though.

Ok,
I'm not sure if the update will come through to your rom. So I think you should look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154 follow the instructions, and you will have a Sensation XE with ICS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 is probably the best rom to use.

Those details won't suffice to determine what you need for flashing ARHD ...
As you are running custom Rom I can say that you are soff...but to be sure can you post a screen shot of your bootloader that would be pretty helpful.
Also post your cid ...this you can get it by fastboot command
"fastboot getvar cid"
(Assuming you have fastboot/adb setup)
Also there is the best noob proof guide for flashing ARHD...chk that then you can flash any custom Rom easily

You can't install official ota ics update with custom Rom. It must be stock Rom with stock recovery.
Soff will stay same after update so not important you don't need to s-on to get ics.

I have yet to flash the ARHD zip file. after i updated the firmware, i tried to open the phone to delete the file but the device did not go through the normal booting process, instead it just keep rebooting after the logo flashes. any ideas why?
These are bootloops.. Which file did you want to remove ? Did you really installed the 3.32 firmware before flashing the rom?
Hi everyone,
I am looking for the file:

I've got the file link from http://www.filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/ in the thread [ROM]Shipped Pyramid ROM Collection but it's not working.
I tried searching on Google but I couldn't find it.
If anyone has the file would you mind sharing it?
I am really in need of the file.
Thank you very much

Hi malibru,
My phone is HTC Sensation XE and I'm currently running ARHD 6.6.3 XE 3.32.401.105_R but I wanna flash the vodafone AU stock ROM because I wanna take it to customer service due to dirt under screen problem. The one I'm looking for is :
RUU_Pyramid_LE_Voda-Hutch_AU_1.73.862.3_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.903 5.02_2_release_222667_signed.exe
that is what was once running on my phone when I bought it. It's GB not ICS. I tried looking for it but all links are broken. Voda AU ICS stock ROM is not available yet I think. Do you have any idea about a safe way to return the phone? I think the important things are Vodafone's boot animation, stock ROM and locked bootloader and S-ON. I've read information on how to get S-ON, I can lock the bootloader again by following HTC Dev instruction but I cant manage to get the Vodafone's bootanimation and stock ROM for my phone.
If you have any file that could help me I really appriciate it
