I have sensation XE which is locked to India CID: htc__38
and I wanna have an arabic rom, which i couldnt find any proper RUU for it
coz I like orginal roms
can anybody tell me if i s-off my device, install CWR, then change the CID to the arabic CID which is HTC__J15
does anything happen to my existing rom which is "htc__38"?
would the mobile boot after I reboot it?
and will i have the official arabic update if i checked for them through the settings??
"there is already an OTA for devices coming originally with this CID"
and what will happen to the S-off and CWR if any official rom where installed
thanks a lot in advance
any help is appreciated

you can S-Off your sensation and then set CID to what you like.
there is a really nice walk-through in the development section for this.
although you might not get the update since your ROM is India version!!

Thanx a lot for replying
I wanna try my luck, to see if I'm going to get the update
So is it safe to change the CID without changing the rom and keep it like that?

You will have to change the Rom, cause since it is stock , It's region locked (requires that cid)
What you should do is: s off , use writecid to change the cid to your desired( Arab u said?) and then flash the Arab ruu to get it all working
** tip: if you can't find the proper ruu, just ask someone with the same cid his stock nandroid backup

Good day
I got my new sensation 2 days ago i need to install new RUU on the device but i don't know where to start and what to do
plz i need help thxx
You can't flash an RUU that's different from you original version. It's been covered SO many times before it's not funny.
What RUU are you trying to flash and what ROM is currently on your phone?
im trying to install "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_ARA_1.34.415.1"
and idon't know what is the current RUU on my device
my problem is :
i want to add arabic support to my device , when i run the RUU it can't discover the device, my device is connects and set to USB disk drive
You can't do it. To find the version on your handset go to Settings>About phone>Software information
And it shouldn't be connected in Disk Drive mode to run an RUU - you set it to HTC Sync (and you need HTC Sync installed on your PC)
Android Version 2.3.3
Software number 1.35.720.1
Kernal 2.6.35.10-g9cef70d
and if i can't how can i install arabic support on device??
You can't, simple as that. You need to wait until we have root access to flash a new ROM which has Arabic support built into it. Might be weeks yet
as mentioned above, you just can't at the moment, for arabic webpages however you can download Firefox which renders arabic websites without a problem, I know that doesn't solve all the problems though, the facebook app for instance can't ready arabic unless it's supported natively by the rom, don't worry though, once HTC releases its S-off update all will be fine.

So it also won't be possible to flash the "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.900 7.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed"
to a 1.34.206.1 (Europe) device, right? =(
or is there a possibility to do this?
Would be really nice to get that unbranded version to my phone cause I really dislike waiting weeks or longer for a new branded version every time a new software version is released.. :/
That's correct, you can't debrand until we have full root access
Not what I've wanted to read but thanks for the answer :')
I hope that will change soon

Your thread in general isn't helpful to the guy dragging up an 8 month old thread. To answer the question you need to s-off, set super cid and then flash the RUU you wish to use

Hi folks, tried doing a search in HTC Sensation forum but couldn't find an answer...
I have a European T-Mobile HTC Sensation and want to install Arabic language on it..
What are my options? Would it need to be rooted and flashed? Etc
Please advise..
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk
You will have to 1st unlock your phone then you have two options:
1- Root your phone & install arabic files on it.
or
2- Change the CID of your phone & install official HTC Arabic ROM.
Refer to this link.
Omar thanks mate... My phone is unlocked but T-Mobile UK branded...
Change the CID and installing the official Arabic ROM is favourable... Anymore suggestions?

You can do it w/o CID, you do need S-OFF and CWR.
Someone has posted a ZIP version of the official Arabic Stock ROM 1.34.415.1 :
http://www.multiupload.com/PO97HZR3D7.
Download and flash it with CWR. It works!

You are completely right my friend.
However, flashing a ZIP file through Recovery is simpler than the RUU way. Also, if he's now got a Stock Rom, he will not have to wipe the current content and after running the ZIP file all his data,apps and home screens will be there as before.(Backup is recommended anyway)
You mentioned 1.45.415.4. Has it already been rolled out?
If so does anyone got a link to the RUU?

You have to S-Off your device first.
Hi
Sorry i m a noob.
This android flashing is very new to me. I use to own HD2 and flash by using hardSPL and recovery.. but this is total new to me
Pls BEAR with my with my noob question..!!
my first question is
i want to install battery percentage..
SO i should Installing S-off, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on
what if i do wrong? will my mobile brick? Unlike WM, it had hardSPL to protect.
U don't need supervisor and u don't need to make it s-on again.
Pretty much s-off, clockwork mod, root it, then flash what u need in clockworkmod.
Oh thanks what is the s-off and on?

Security off, security on. Put simply the flash memory where the system files are stored is read only when security is on. In order to modify the system in any way (to root or flash a custom rom for example) it is necessary to set security to off. Security off makes the system flash memory read/write.
Hope this makes sense

No not Really, unless you want to flash a ROM different from your region.
Super CID can be done later on also.

You only need to worry about CID if you need to run an official RUU from a different region. You don't need to mess with CID if you're just flashing cooked ROMs.
oh!!! thank!! haah

Hi,
i would lke to know about the RADIO flashing..
i planing to flash Android Revolution HD but i read that i need to flash the radio too?
I m now on WWE Stock ROM.
How do i flash the Radio?
Hello.I am now posting for my friend who is too shy to register and post the thread here.
He has an HTC Sensation XE(S-ON,Stock',Not Rooted) and he has changed his CID from bootloader to HTC__001 (WWE) to get his ICS OTA but after restart he hasn't got the OTA,but instead he cannot switch back to his default Vodafone CID.He gets an error regarding smart_io.crd when he wants to change to any another CID.
So first question how can I fix that?
And I was also thinking about him trying an RUU for XE.
RUU works on untouched phone,
Question 2 : Yes or no?
Thanks for the support,please don't flame and as I was saying I'm doing this for a friend,I am using Samsung devices so it's not for me!
1.You can't write cid with s on. You must s off first
2. No, it won't pass the checks before flashing

Hi,
I bought HTC Sensation 4G from US 3 days ago.. The device works flawlessly.. But the problem is it does NOT support my language !
Since the International Sensation and Sensation 4G is almost identical .. My question is it possible to Flash international sensation RUU ROM on the Sensation 4G without bricking the device ?! Or doing that will brick it ?!
BTW It's S-OFF already ..
Waiting your replies ..
Thnx in advance
Since it's S-OFF, you're going to have to perform super-cid so that you can flash an international RUU. There's a stickied guide in the Android Development section that tells you how to obtain S-OFF, root, and super-cid. You might want to get another opinion, because I've never had to do it, but from what I've gathered, it's that easy.
1) S-Off and Root (Seems like it's already done, rooting isn't totally required for this)
2) Change CID to super-cid (a bunch of ones)
3) Run RUU.exe and enjoy
