If you just root and stay on stock then you should get ota updates. And yes you will loose root after updating to ICS. But you can always re-root.
If u have a custom recovery make sure u flash stock recovery bc an official update can brick it. Seen it happen on other phones.

Thanks in advance!

Just run the RUU. That will bring stock recovery back.

Can somone point me the right RUU for my eu sensation? I used revelutionairy.io did it change my recovert?
What did revolutionairy.io do to my phone? For i was thinking that it rooted my phone... can i somehow change it back all the way to stock?

Then u need to make sure all your htc drivers work. Also try getting the ruu from a diff source.

I have debranded my ex vf sensation to a stock european rom and rooted it, too.
So I can't get ota updates any longer? To receive them I have to go back to the vf rom? Is there really no workaround/fix?

I've got a question, my sensation is completly rooted and S-off.
If a new release gets available thrue OTA.
Can I instal this, like I updated the stock device to a newer version?
Thanks
If you have a custom-made ROM you cant get ota unless ota still in the ROM arhd doesn't have that option dont now about other roms,,
And if you can use a ota, you pose root.. and s-off or it has to be in the update

Ok so I got a sensation off eBay and its on orange unlocked to any sim. I root and s off and flash a stock HTC Rom great.
1. How can I unroot to get back to original hboot but with stock current Rom for HTC sensation as if I brought sim free with out orange bloated stuff.

I know you might think I am mad to want to un root but this is because I want to just get read of the orange stuff. If the flashed Rom is stock HTC will I get ota updates like everyone else would normally?

You can have s-off and stock ROM without root. S-off and root are not the same thing. Also, I believe you can be s-off with unrooted stock ROM and get official OTA's if you have the stock recovery. And to more directly answer your question, if you are running a rooted stock ROM (with stock recovery), you should be able to get OTA's but they might break root. That would be an easy fix since you would retain s-off and could just flash cwm and use that to flash su.

Stock recovery meaning nandroid back up of a stock rom?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
If you want to go back to 100% but unbranded, you need to:
1. Write Super CID to the phone (see the S-Off guide in the Dev forum for details)
2. Flash the RUU you wish to use (either 1.45.401.3 of 1.73.401.4)
3. Write the stock CID to the phone (stock = HTC__001)
4. Then S-ON, again using the S-OFF guide
The phone will now bee 100% stock and unbranded. I'd personally stick to the non-XE ROMs as the OTA's will work without issues, can't comment on the XE RUU
does anyone know if we will still be able to update via OTA means if we unlock bootloaders,root,s-off etc.... on sony ericsson phones they cant update if they unlock bootloaders.
sorry if this was already answered i didnt find it..... :/
No, not if you're not using the stock rom.
Custom roms will always be updated faster than stock OTA updates.
so when the official ics is released if i reflash stock rom i will be fine when updating?

You'd have to be on the stock rom and stock recovery. So you might aswell run the RUU for your phone and you'll be good to go.

Stock RUU.......
Seems the stock ROM's aren't perfect. Take a chance......
When the ics ota comes out it will likely have a new bootloader which revolutionary won't like. Htcdev should work

Yea.. if ur rooted and still on stock ROM, you may get updates..
But if you are on custom ROM like Android revolution HD by mike1986.. you will not get any updates from HTC...
rather you can enjoy updates from ROM maker..
Hit thanks if you find my answer helpful
Thanks for your answer.
I am thinking about rooting so I can have the market enabler, but i don't want to run a custom ROM until I play with an official update from HTC.

Yes, the Sensation is the Sensation 4G and the XE usually takes the same or similar procedure.

Is this the same file RUU____.exe file?
When you say "flash", do you mean to copy the exe file into the root of your sd card and install it via recovery?
I'm on a mac and I have no access to a windows computer right now. Please help.
Thanks.
