Oh..another thing...trying ICS for the first time is a "NO" from me...as its still in development..u will have lots of issues...Try some rock stable ROM first, get used to the things..then U may try whatever U like..hope it helps.

You don't need to upgrade for all ICS ROMS, I'm currently using RCMix and didn't need to update anything, might be worth checking it out first if you're not confident in flashing new firmware.
RCMix ISC 1.1 (4.0.1) with Sense

Yeah same thing happened to me but then i remembered. I didnt SuperCID my S4G yet. Went back and did that and no more model id issue when i flashed the first or second ICS firmwares.

Check out my thread. It might have some useful information for you guys

i got the same problem. i try a lot time, still getting error!!!

Like has already been pointed out, the Model Id error is because you need to Super CID your phone. Look in the guide sticky thread in the Sensation development forum.

Latest RUU??

Sorry for another post so soon.
I am looking for the latest official RUU for desire s phone.
I sent mine in to get motherboard replaced as it was rebooting all the time. The techs decided to just update the rom and send it back. So obviously I will have the same problems.
I rooted and s-off etc. But problems persisted.
I now need to know the best way to return it to stock. Without them realising I have messed with the ROM
Basically all I want to do is set it back to a stock where they wont notice I have messed with it.
Right now I have used RUU which has set s-on and unrooted it. I just hope its going to be ok.....
Still cant believe they reinstalled a rom and thought it would fix the rebooting
EDIT: ... read the second post ... but still you must be blind.

Yes, I took the RUU I used from that thread. That is the latest one then?
The latest one in that topic is:
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30. 0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed

I have a rooted HTC Sensation, is it ok to update to stock 4.0?

So my friend rooted my phone for me and installed a custom rom that supports a language I needed (arabic).
It turns out that the 4.0 carries that language and I have been having a lot of problem with the current rom. If I want to upgrade to 4.0 how can go on with this?
Also, I would like to stay rooted because from what I understand, if I am rooted the phone is unlocked and I am planning on going overseas for a month and so it would be nice to have a unlocked phone with me.
I really appreciate all the help guys thanks!
First of all, there is no stock 4.0, unless you mean ICS 4.0.x. Because of the vague information, I assumed you meant sense 4.0.
Second of all, you need to provide some info, and why can't your friend fix it for you? I have no idea what's currently on your phone. If you're running gingerbread, then you'll have to do a firmware update + rom update. You've provided us the fact that your friend put a rom on there for you. That does not help one bit. What rom? and again, why can't he fix it? Normally, it's pretty easy to update the rom, there are tons of instructions provided in the forums. I would suggest looking around. The only hard part for you may be the firmware updating... Since you appear to have no idea what rom you're running, myself and others won't know how to help at all. You want to update to this "4.0" with little to no information provided. Fyi, phone rooted does not mean the phone is unlocked. You'll have to double check that, Good luck!
ps. your title is even more confusing. Are you getting the 4.0 OTA and asking if it's okay to update? or are you asking HOW to update? I'm assuming you're asking how to update lol
Ermm, this type of question (correcting: exactly this question) had been asked (and answered) a couple of times

I apologize for being vague here are info on my phone.
I am on Android Version 2.3.7
Baseband version: 10.56.9035.00
Kernal Version 2.6.35.13_CyangenMod+
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.1.0-SelfKANG10-Sensation
Build Number: GRJ22
I am trying to update to the new version which is ICS for my sensation. I am not sure if it's out or not though.
I guess my question is:
Do I have to unroot my phone to use ICS?
if not, can you please point me to where I can follow a guide to do this?

Since you are unsure of what you are doing, I wouldn't advise you to try since you do run the risk of "Bricking" your device if something goes wrong - Your Choice!
Having stated that, if you really do want to install ICS:
1. Install firmware 3.32 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
2. Install a CUSTOM Recovery.
3. Choose your ROM - There are a few Sense 3.6 ROMs but no Sense 4.0 with no bugs (FAIK).
You should really Search the Development thread and choose a ROM which suits YOU as everyones needs/wants are slightly different. Most ROMs tell you what you need to install and there already guides on how to do it.
You could follow the guide from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298

ROOTING only unlocks the ability to change files stored anywhere on the phone, you need to SIM UNLOCK if you intend to use a different carrier or possibly in a different country. There is a thread in development on how to do this for free too!!!

Not sure why you'd want to do this, when you can just install a room based off of the official release like ARHD. You'd retain root and also get all the awesome features included in the ROM that HTC won't add in there.

I've also heard of phones being severely bricked after updating from stock. Actually, I've worked on them. They were galaxy s prevails, though

[Q] Question, Gingerbread baseband?

I´ve been using gingerbread rom´s for a long time, but in the last days, when i flashed acura´s 3d max rom and then prometheus rom and kernel, when i try to connect to my network the phone gives me a message that i have inserted wrong pin and i have 3 more tries, the pin his right and this happens 2 or 3 times then it gets the network but it only works for a few minutes, and then it gives me "reorganizing internal processes..." message.
I´ve been reading about basebands and kernel's and stuff, but i still the same.
So i have one first question, i have on my phone information this baseband version: L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00
Is this the right version? Gingerbread baseband?
Thank you
I had the same problem after flashing Prometheus kernel I had to reflash my kdz to fix it

You know what RTFM means? Here is used RTFF...cause you have it all here. Anyway a hint: use Lg updater, go to customer assistance, emergency and recovery mode, put your IMEI and you should be good to go with the latest baseband.

But just as you click in the Optimus 3D general section you'll see 3 sticky threads: Firmware update, [TUTORIAL] Flash BIN rom, Unbrick, Update - Optimus 3d (Service Flash software) and [GUIDE] Manbearpig's guide to a smooth ride with your O3D. From all three I'm sure that you can pull out some infos. In the end... got your problem solved?

Hello, i did a lot of research before i ask, and only today i knew how to realy see the baseband number on my phone like people writh in this forum (V21and so). The phone information tells us "L6260_Modem..." and i was thinkin how the hell can i say if it is v20a or v21e???
That was the purpose of my question. Instead of that, i did a kdz flash following post 14 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1651901&page=2
I flashed 21e following the instructions, but my question still remained till today, How can i tell if it has v21e installed on my phone?
So today i was readind a threas, don´t know exactly wich, sorry, but i found the answer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sibbor.getril
Just install it and it gives you the baseband that you have installed on your phone.

...The baseband version I see it on the last line of the "About phone" option from Settings menu. But there are some issues with some ROMs, for example I've used the Meemo Xplay ROM that, for some reason gave no info about IMEI and software version (baseband).
I restore stock ROM using suggested tutorial and now in about phone have:
Baseband version L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00
Kernel version 2.6.35.7+
Build number GRJ90
Software version LGP920-V21e-Apr-19-2012
Before this I have Promethius 1.5 together with battery draining and dont know if this is OK after flashing stock ROM? Can I install Promethius 1.5+ now with new kernel?

You can find roms that it's based on stock 3.6 sense (like Elegancia and ARHD) or you can try ViperS 1.6.3/3.0.2(sense4/4.5).
Have you tried CM10.1 by albinoman887?
CM10/10.1 are really good for the phone and look better than CM9
And here's the link to Elegancia roms :

Hi,
Complete stock is HERE.
Make sure you choose the correct ROM for your phone (post 1 or 2 )
Or you can try a slightly improved version of stock called ARHD
also you can use rooted stock rom

You really need to search and read so you can understand what you're doing and asking.
Also, the official ICS was rubbish - slow, flaky, not good. If you want ICS then flash one of the many good Custom ROMs instead.
I will back what Simon has said... if u still havent rooted yet... root ur phone... try to Get S-off , instructions can be found be in Development Section, Dont go for official OTA... i installed it and believe me it was a pain in a** . Once S-OFF u can flash many Roms out here and figure which onces best for u ...Happy Flashing
