Hi All, I have just received my new HTC Sensation, I know how to root, but what I want to know is that, is there any flashing of some RUU is required for the update to ICS Custom ROMS?
regards
no, you must just wait, all we know about release date is "early 2012"
I'm running RCMix 1.0 still (inital ICS leak release) not updated the RUU.
I think that you may need to for some roms, but i think thats more to do with using the new radio as well.
RUU is for stock rom. if you want ICS on your phone flash custom rom there are many ICS roms available from early leak ics base.
I spoke to a representative at HTC the other day and asked them specifically about it. They told me that I should be looking for the release within the next couple of weeks due to the leaked RUU they are pushing up the release date. If I hear anything else I will be sure to keep this thread updated as to what is said.

Just got off the phone with HTC, and they said that there is nothing new to update on the official release of ICS for the Sensation. Once again, I will keep this thread updated every few days on what they have to say.

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!!

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!!
Also bear in mind that the Blog post by HTC mentions NO time frame other than 'end of March' so that doesn't mean today in my book
Hey guys,
these days I have been checking the update frequently hoping for its arrival soon and this afternoon the update has arrived.
I have a Sensation XE stock rom (Asia_TW) unbranded. I bought the phone in Taiwan and received the update in Hong Kong.
I am pretty sure the Asia update has started. Good luck guys!
My findings regarding ICS/Sense3.6 :
1. System becomes smoother. (Rotation/animation/System overall response)
2. Wi-Fi works perfectly, with/without SIM card.
3. Total available RAM is now 583MB (10 Mins after boot, 194MB free)
4. Boot Up Time: 2min 30sec (+- 5sec)
5. Multi-touch Switch problem still exist
My CID: HTC_621

Full filename is enough. It cold be downloaded from OTA server directly when we know filename.. But I'm afraid for EU phones it is not usable due to different base version and OTA file is just patch! It could be used be developers to see what has changed there and what to cook into their roms..

It could very much be due to the CID thing. They release the update based on the CID (and IMEI as well? not certain about this.) and as I read from other posts I think they release it to 30,000 devices at a time so the server won't break down. Wait for some time I'm quite sure it will come to your device soon.

Is there any rule that India should get it after E/W Europe? Since Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan etc are getting it (i.e. SE Asia) logically India should have got it by now!
My sensation xe (India) has software nr. 1.77.720.103 , i don't think to many xe's have this build, so it is possible that this will get update later...

Hi,
I'm in the UK with a Sensation XE which I purchased from a company in Hong Kong. I run it with a T-mobile sim card.
When I check my software version it says I am 1.77.720.103 like a couple on this thread.
If i use CID Getter it shows my CID as being HTC__038 and that my ro.carrier is HTC-India. When I first got it I had to change the locale to be english GB so that it received news articles to do with the UK.
I'm a bit puzzled by how exactly the phones receive the updates OTA. They obviously check a server somewhere which checks something on the phone and makes a decision whether to let it update or not. Is there not some way that I can change my phone settings so that it believes it is a UK phone and receives the update at the same time as other people in the UK?
Is there a way that I could flash my phone with a European/UK ROM so that I don't have to mess about changing locale etc?
Many thanks and apologies if this has been asked before as I could not find it when I tried searching.

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'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.

HTC told that they will be releasing an update this month to solve this problem as many ICS users facing same problem.
Im still undecided on whether to root my sensation xe and flash a stock ics rom considering I'm not the biggest fan of htc sense or should I wait for the jelly bean update and carry on using launchers like Nova right now. thanks in advance.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda app-developers app
IMHO I`d s-off & root... Make sure you have got a correct RUU so you can restore everything for warranty purposes.
I think... The sensation will probably not get Jellybean officially, but the Ville C2 definitely will. All current Sense 4 ROMS for the sensation are based on Ville C2 RUU.
You will need s-off/root/4ext to install this.
Just root, you can use CM10 which will be working well soon.
Android 4.0 is going to be getting old hat (already) and sense 3.6 is old hat compared to Sense 4... So really, you have to root.
Unless HTC decide to make a Sensation update with Sense 4 & Jellybean (hell will freeze over...), or Sense 3.6 & Jellybean? Doubtful
Root root root
Yes. Root it.
First off, you will still be able to get the official JB release. You will just have to flash it manually intead of getting it OTA. (And for that matter you will probably be able to get it here before you would OTA)
Plus, once you are rooted you'd have more JB variants available to you anyway.
Root! It likely will be available here BEFORE the upstate is released, IF the sensation gets a official update At all! If not you will likely have it available for you here! Thank God for xda and it's Genius developers! You must root before you have all these wonderful things available to you! You won't regret it for a second! I sure don't. I'm running android 4.0.3, sense 4, firmware 3.33, all thanks to xda! They made me love my device Again! By rooting your making your device truly your own! Customization on the deepest levels! You will love it once your rooted and s off. It's great ! You don't like something , just change it to what you do like. Rooting gives this freedom! Best of luck! I have A feeling if your waiting for official jelly bean you will be waiting a long time if not forever. Root and soon it will be available!

Rooting.is.ALWAYS.Worth.It.
Especially if you plan to wait on HTC for a JB update. 'Cause you could probably try Key Lime by the time they release one on JB. And thats if you're pretty lucky.
Where are you getting the info that Jellybean will be official? I have not seen any such statement
I just assumed if the phone can handle sense 4 and ics we should be in line for jelly bean at some point..but I just don't think I'm willing to wait now...HTC usually supports a phone for 2 OTA's then abandon it and leave to the user.

I doubt that the Sensation is going to get 4.1 at all from HTC.
If a more recent device like the Amaze did not get any promise of an update to JB from HTC, what is your basis for assuming that the Sensation is getting it at some point? Just because it is capable of Sense 4 and ICS doesn't mean HTC HAS to give it Sense 4, let alone 4.1.

To find the correct guide you need to know your boot version. In order to find this version you pull battery, put battery back in and press power and volume down at the same time and hold until the phone boots, on that page it will have the information there on your hboot. Once you know what that is then you can find the correct guide example - guide rooting s off for h boot 1: 27.... , then you follow that specific guide for your h boot version. Hope this has helped.
