How do i go completely stock? - HTC Sensation

I have a US T-Mobile Sensation that I need to get it back to stock. It's running 4.0.3 which i flashed the different firmware for to make 4.0.3 work. Can someone point me to the right direction? I'm completely new to HTC phones, I'm used to using Odin for Samsung. What program would I need to flash stock back onto the device? Thanks.

Second the motion
Same here, currently have custom rom 3.6.9, want to install original stock rom, maybe somebody can show us a procedure how? Thanks...
HTE Sensation XE South East Asian version, factory unlock...

I want to do the same. Well only stock TMOUS firmware without losing S-off

Are u having issues, I'm thinkin the same thing, my phone acts up alot since I installed custom roms...

ItKs my friends phone and ever Rom I put on he has issues with. I can't blame the roms but I think the phone is defected. His phone just restarts often while he's using the phone but it's a leak so it won't be perfect. I've been flashing roms since I had a Samsung Moment and I've had perfect roms and roms with issues but I always find a perfect won. If I owned the phone I'm sure I could easily find a stable rom. I would like to keep it S-OFF but with a stock rom, I wish I owned an HTC phone so these Ruu's and things made sense to me.

If I go back to stock, I would need to s-off again correct, or is it necessary? Basically I want to go stock but I'm not sure if u keep s-off or is automatically updated when u go to stock..
Also, which is the correct driver I used for to go stock tmous.??

Downloaded the appropriate RUU - installed it, an it's up running again.
What if I would like to go for the customs again?
I'm S-OFF and SuperCID 11111111. When I try to get in Recovery mode - I get a HTC image (looks like a phone and a red cross)!
It's not possible to get in to the EXT menu where I'm used to press "Install from .zip file".
I can se my HBOOT is 1.23.... any ideas?
I have tried the PG58IMG thingy - but after update the phone keeps rebooting. So I had to delete the PM58IMG file from the SD card in order to get into FASTBOOT recovery to flash the Stock RUU again!

That's what I am wondering. Every other RUU he uploaded were zip files that you just flashed through HBoot & this one is a exe file. How do you use this? This is a non-Rooted Rom right?

Don't know exactly where you coming from and going to, 4.53 to 4.54? But something and that has been working and continued for me.
This ruu.exe is ran from the PC through usb debugging enabled, and having the correct drivers installed, I am on xp so I ran latest drivers maually, for higher o/s ver. its going to regonized the android and try to install autmatically....press stop/cancel you will need to configure it manually to have it install the correct drivers.
assuming you done this already, then enable settings>applic>develop>usb-deb and device powered on to home screen, from pc just double click the .exe and go through simple menu's and continue to process.
good luck and hope it helps..

my dilemma is that I have a rooted evo running a synergy rom on Hboot .79 and Radio 1.39
thing is that the s status is S-ON on this particular phone and unrevoked forever does not work on that radio version.
I've tried to upgrade the radio through clockwork recovery with the prepackaged zip yet when I reboot the phone still shows the old radio version.
I've tried installing an RUU from the PC but they all error out.
I'm looking for an RUU packaged in an install-able .zip that includes updated Radios Kernels Hboot and ROM in one. Is that even possible so i can fix this phone and get it some updated radios?!

So I know you say it "should" but I don't want to RUU and then still have my batman logo as my splash screen, that would suck. I would ave to re-root it to try and find a splash .img, but I guess I will try it out and see if it works.

I have the opposite issue. I have S-OFF (Revolutionary) but on stock unrooted (brought the phone to Sprint for a broken power button, and they ended up not fixing it, but flashed 4.53 stock rooted).
How the hell do I get this ROM rooted since Revolutionary doesn't want to root it because the bootloader is unlocked and I can't go to recovery because once I'm on the HTC white background fastboot screen, the volume button are locked and my power button is dead anyway...
I'm trying this Ruu .exe hoping it will give me S-ON but I'm doubtful it will happen...
EDIT: Just as I thought, I'm now on stock rooted 4.54 with S-OFF. And no power button

They will always update the splash screen, it helps to identify the firmware and rom versions at a glance. During install the setup program will create a temp folder with PC36IMG.zip or update.zip look in this zip file and you should see a splash.img file or something like that (sorry haven't looked HTC updates since my Hero Days).

Hi,
Just keep trying
any idea whats causing this?
i have the ruu downloaded but when i open it and apply to update its says
checking................
"updating image on your android device/rebooting to bootloader and comes back with.....
ERROR CODE [155] Unknown Error
"ERROR [155~159]: IMAGE ERROR
One of these error messages will appear when you use the incorrect RUU to update and the image file size is larger than the Flash ROM size. In this case, download the correct RUU version and try again."
edit: I think you have the wrong RUU. Have you also checked Step 4 in the guide malybru posted above?
but this is the correct RUU, Im a orange uk customer and this is the only RUU i can find of the shipped RUU's page.....
RUU_Pyramid_Orange_UK_1.35.61.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M
any idea's?
Is it an Orange branded phone? if not try the EU version.
Have you done SuperCID?
How do you install the RUU? Did you go into the bootloader, press on fastboot, connect to your PC and run the RUU?
no its not Orange branded, Orange is my carrier (on contract) so if EU RUU is required could you possibly advise which is best to use?
i done superCID upon rooting so i dont need to superCID again do i?
No i plugged phone in making sure fastboot is turned off & USB debugging is on then clicked on the RUU to install.....
Many Thanks

Try the Europe Debranded one. If that doesn't work, try the HTC WWE one next. My friend is on Vodafone Contract in the UK and has a debranded World Wide English ROM.
no you don't need to supercid again.
these ruus should work for you (don't know if you have a sensation or sensation xe):

so what i did was try to flash the new one normally but it didnt work(with or without beats should i install(sensation eu)) didnt boot just stuck in boot screen.....so i wanted to install new firmware first and it didnt work it said cid incorrect and im confused (i cant boot)
please explain in steps please dont link me(i tried many)
thanks(will thank)
Sure thing buddy.
I'm gonna have to link you to one page though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
That one. You need to go there and download the 3.32 unlocked firmware that matches your carrier/cid. Kohr-Ah put together a great set of firmware images that lets you bypass super-cid. Find the 3.32 unlocked that works for you, download it, and put it on the SD card (not in any folders). For example, if I'm on T-Mobile USA, I'll scroll down to Page Two, T-Mobile, and select the 3.32 firmware.
Then, with the device powered off, volume down + power until you get to the bootloader. When it asks to update, follow through with it. Then, if you have a card reader, use it to delete the 3.32 unlocked firmware file from the SD card. If you don't, use a buddies android phone and a file manager like ES File Explorer. If you can't do that, take the SD card out, boot into the bootloader and select recovery. Then, put the SD card back in before it actually boots into the recovery. Now, you can wipe and install ARHD and it'll boot up just fine.
In the event that that still doesn't work. Make sure you download Superwipe from Mike's ARHD page. Run Superwipe from the recovery, then install the rom, then it'll 99.99% likely boot.
Good luck. Come back with any questions.
I am unsure how to help, the only think i know that may help is that i think the CID stands for cellular ID and it identifies your phone, so maybe you have flashed something that is giving the wrong device ID?

You're not too far off. The CID usually just identifies what carrier you're on, and most carriers have multiple CIDs. It's possible to change, but not accidently. It's a multi step process that's very specific and involves using Fastboot.
Sorry about grammer, posted from phone.
Follow all the steps detialed by member sshede and + one thing is to do super cid if ur phone is not so u'll be able to flash any rom u like even if it was stock or custom 3.6or sense 4 with the right firmware for sure

Hi,
In order to SuperCID go HERE ,and follow STEP 4.
Unfortunately, it seems you will need to super-cid in this case. It's not hard, just follow the steps in the link and follow them exactly.
The process only takes about 5 minutes start to finish.

Mike recommends Superwipe for ARHD, it's in the thread. Not sure what the real benefit is, but since he developed the rom, it might be wise to take him up on it.

Can you update hboot without updating stock ROM?

Hey guys, I just got 2 HTC Sensation 4Gs off of Craigslist, they are both still running Gingerbread. I want to root and custom rom, but I'm aware that I cannot install newer ICS+ ROMs without updateing the hboot.
My question is, is it easier to HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID, and THEN update the hboot. Or update the phone with the official ICS update (thus also updating the hboot) and THEN HTC Dev Unlock, root, s-off, Super CID?
I've already had experience rooting and s-off(ing) 2 ICS sensations, but don't know if I could do it easier if I don't update them first.
If it is easier to update the hboot after rooting Gingerbread, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you intend to s-off on GB ,then, do NOT go to HTCDEV
S-off using revolutionary.
Look HERE
Everything is listed in order.
Then, update the firmware/radio HERE , using the 3.33 Universal firmware.
Then,install custom ROM.
Thanks! Exactly what I wanted. question though, is the latest 3.33 okay to use on T-Mobile? Or is there a more T-Mobile optimised version I should use?

It is the same for all phones.

Hi,
If you intend to s-off on GB ,then, do NOT go to HTCDEV
S-off using revolutionary.
Look HERE
Everything is listed in order.
Then, update the firmware/radio HERE , using the 3.33 Universal firmware.
Then,install custom ROM.

It says enter Serial Number on Revolutionary IO. Does it mean the S/N beneath the battery or the IMEI? Both are getting accepted and I'm being given 2 different keys. I'm pretty confident that it means the S/N so that's what i'm going to try. Is that correct?

Hi,
It has been a long while since I did this.
But S/N does stand for serial number.

Okay cool. And it doesn't seem to detect my phone. I had the drivers installed already, but no matter what mode the phone is in the Revolutionary.exe isn't finding it. I'm on Windows XP
Maybe I should just update and do it the way I've done before. :-/
Maybe I need an SD in the phone?

Hi,
Yes,you need a sd card.
It is far easier to s-off with revolutionary,so it is worth the effort to find the correct drivers,and re-install them(and reboot the pc)
Also try different usb slots,and a different cable if you have one.

Okay, thanks. I'll also try doing it in Linux Mint. I'll let you know if I need more help.
But one last question. In step one it says:
1. Run the revolutionary Utility you just downloaded from http://revolutionary.io/ and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
It doesn't say to plug in the phone, which is a given, or what mode it needs to be in?
THEN it says to do it again but this time plug in the phone, in normal mode, and set it to HTC sync

Hi,
Like I said, it has been a while,and I cannot remember how the thing went.
But I do remember no great difficulty following the thread .
Do you run the utility on your pc,then,plug the phone in?

No, I plug the phone in and then start the utility. It wouldn't find it though so I uninstalled and re-installed the drivers. But I can't restart my PC right now. In 90 minutes I can though. (watching a live stream with family)
I'll let you know if I get it working, whether through windows or linux.
Ugh, my PC is saying that USBcoinstaller.dll is missing. Any idea how to get it? I can't find it by searching google.
Maybe I have to download the android SDK. Didn't need to before when I rooted my ICS sensation a few months ago. But maybe I have to for gingerbread.

Hi,
As well as installing sdk,have you tried installing the latest HTCSync?
I'm trying that to. Hopefully it'll get it working.

Okay, I'm having problems. I tried following [GUIDE] (For Noobs) SDK, ADB, and Drivers and now my ADB isn't working!
I tried downloading and installing the recommended SDK zip and it wasn't giving me the files he said it would, then I installed revision 9 and 15 because it said it neded them, they ended up bringing "Platform-tools" which contains another ADB.exe, and it won't let me delete it. I tried installing the latest HTC Sync and it doesn't find my phone. It still gives me the error about USBCoInstaller.dll I am going to reboot my PC but I honestly don't know what I did or how to fix it. Everytime I start any ADB including revolutionary.exe it pops open does a TON of text for a split second and then closes again. Any Suggestions after I reboot?
Edit: actually revolutionary.exe pops open and closes quickly without displaying anything.
My brother fixed it. apparently I want thinking about the fact that HTC sync can't be installed. And the driver wasn't completely installed, which he solved as well. So we're now using revolutionary.
