[Q] is safe flashing stock GB RUU on a ICS ROM? - HTC Sensation

I'm on latest ICS 4.0.3 leak with new firmware and everything else.
I need to go back to stock cuz i need to send it.
Can i flash my stock GB RUU to come back to original situation?

Now don't quote me on this. It's safe to flash the stock firmware. Altho you are going to want to have your stock backup or a gingerbread Rom that is stock to flash immediately afterwards. 4.0.3 will not boot unless it has the 1.23, hboot. So you will go straight into the splash screen stuck mode after booting with new hboot. Besure you have something compatible with the new firmware before flashing on.ics.
Make sense?

My sensation was running newest firmware with 6.0.2 ICS. My recovery is 4Ext touch recovery. For whatever reason (flashing addict) I grabbed the TMOUS stock RUU and ran it.
At first the RUU gave me an error saying the phone had incompatible or bad recovery/partition. It then gave me the option to recover or repair the recovery/partition.
After that was done I had to close the RUU and re-open it. The RUU worked fine after that. My phone was put back to hboot 1.17.0008 with stock GB. HTC warranty ready.
so no problems here (of course there is some risk, every situation is different)

so is not a problem if the ICS firmware has changed the structure of the system partition?

Old firmware

Hi guys, where can i get the old firmware? I flashed the new firmware to install the new ICS 4.0.3 Sense rom. I didn't like it, so i restored my old ROM. And now i keep getting random reboots which i never get before.
I'm on stock XE rom after flashing new firmware and no problems.

I'm on Miui.us latest version.
Try downloading the orgional rom for your phone and flashing it using the ruu exe file. This will restore the phone back to the orgional bootloader and radio and rom!
Can i just flash the PG58IMG.zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

When we flash the RUU...does it remove Root? I installed a custom ICS ROM to try but didn't like it, so I did a NAND restore, but I think the firmware was still updated to the one that was needed to do the ICS, and I find the battery is draining quickly. So I would like to revert back to where it was.
I had though a NAND restore will restore everything including the HBOOT version and the radio...but guess not? So should I just do a RUU thing then?
Thanks

I think the pd58img ur referring to is for CWM not the firmware or radio which is what ur looking for. If you want complete retail stock then find the gingerbread 2.3.4 RUU. If ur looking for 2.3.4/5 customer roms the just flash the rom u want. GB works fine with its firmware. Backwards compatible.
The situation have been getting worse and worse everyday. Now, I couldn't even use my phone for 2 minutes without it rebooting itself. I have tried different ROMs with the same result. And i have already flashed the latest T-mobile firmware which i got from this thread.
And I'm sure its the firmware that's causing the problem. Because the first time booting into android after flashing the ICS firmware, the phone froze during the boot screen.
I'm running
HBOOT- 1.23.0000
RADIO- 10.11.9007.15_M

RUU​_Pyramid​_TMOUS​_1.50​.531​.1 error 152

Can someone help? I'm getting error 152 image update when I run RUU​_Pyramid​_TMOUS​_1.50​.531​.1 on my phone. I have SuperCid, s-off, and was running a gingerbread rom,but I'm stock on the HTC black logo with the exclamation marks on the corners. Doing some research, I did not find a solution. I can't boot to bootloaders or recovery and I need my phone real bad. What can I do now? Thank you!
Are you using any Custom Recovery like ClockworkMod or 4EXT Recovery ?
If so you have to revert back to stock Recovery.
I use this method to get stock HTC Recovery back [GUIDE] Get Stock Recovery/Install OTA Updates without losing data.
But I am not sure about SuperCID either you have to revert it back to. But make sure make a backup of your phone first.

Super cid isn't a problem, leave it, custom recovery doesn't matter either.
Are you s off? RUU will only work if you are s off.

Yes...s-off. I was on ICS with firmware 3.32, then I went down to hboot 1.17 and flashed a stock gingerbread rom. Flashed fine (so i was back on gingerbread). Sinse I had hboot 1.17 and a gingerbread rom fully functional, I wanted to revert back completely stock and thats why I ran the RUU 1.27. But no luck. You know what's crazy...that after hours of trying to run RUU 1.27, 1.29 and 1.50 (which none worked), I downloaded the latest ICS Europe RUU and the sucker flashed all the way! It didnt boot, but at least I was able to boot into bootloaders. That way, I was able to flash thru bootloaders recovery, hboot 1.27 and an ICS rom again! Now I'm back with a working phone but dealing with the fact that I cant go back to stock. Crazy, ha? Thx anyways. Out of thousands of members with knowledge about my problem, ONLY you responded. Thank you!
Sensation forum, thx!!!

[Q] I may have bricked my phone. Help please

Here's what happened. I was using internet-pass-through with my Sensation XE for me download games and saw in my notifications that there's an available system update which is the android 4.0, etc. I downloaded the file and installed it but right after i got stucked with picture of an android and beside it is a exclamation point in a triangle. I removed the batt and turned on the phone and nothing happened, nothing new. So, I searched in youtube and saw a way of updating ICS in my phone. My phone had S-off but still using Stock rom. I entered the bootloader then CWM then formatted the system, cache, then tried to update to ICS since i got the zip file already in my SDcard. After then, the installation was aborted, it says cannot fine system/build.prop or something. I rebooted my fone and I got stucked up with the HTC logo and white screen. Omg please help me.
Please help me. :'(
To get Ota update working you need the stock unrooted rom and stock recovery.
Best is to make a backup of your apps and data (not system data) and run an official RUU to revert it back to stock unrooted, then update with OTA.
After upgrading to ICS you can flash CWM or 4EXT recovery and root again.

Sorry sir but I'm so newbie at this. I already made a backup of my apps and data. The question is, how am I gonna run an official RUU? Like use the CWM? Cause that's the only thing my phone can do right now, and sir, where can I find an official RUU for my phone? Please and thank you so much. You're currently saving my newly bought fone, as in I just bought it yesterday.
Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559 You can find the ruu file, just pick, the right one (if You have non-branded senation I think you should pick something like this:
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223042_signed.exe
RUU_Pyramid_HTC - this is Your phone (sensation is pyramid)
Europe - europe means that Your phone is non-branded (if You have branded phone You should pick Your brand - Vodaphone, orange, etc)
1.50.401.1 - this is version of firmware - 401.1 is sensation and 401.101 is sensation xe
next numbers are radio version, etc,
just remember to install ruu with release word in the name (do not install test).
Ruu is an exe application for windows. Just download it, run it, plug your phone and do whatever it says.
You're welcome
Thank you so much! Btw. I will still plug my phone to computer and run the RUU? Not like run the RUU thru CWM? Cause I can't open the phone, remember? Well. Thanks and I'm about to try it. Sorry I'm noob but I'm learning.

And oh, btw. I upgraded my firmware to 3.32 and flashed darkforest ICS 6.1.0 and I think it worked but I'm gonna stick to the OTA ICS update. How am I going to do that? Downgrade my firmware to 1.17 and is it automatically unrooted? Then, flash original RUU then update OTA. Is this correct?
RUN RUU!
RUU is what You want to run.
After RUU you'll have a stock gingerbread. Then check for updates (in phone) and you'll have Your OTA.

[Q] one S hboot 1.14 wont load OTA

I'm a Noob with a problem. I believe this is what happen i updated the one s via OTA 1.84.531 gave me hboot 1.140004 and radio 1.08ts.50.02.16 then i decided to Root. when I rooted i flashed to a rom that apparently broke my wifi. I did not have a nandroid backup (epic FAIL) so i found the 1.53 stock nadroid on a forum inorder to unroot and flash RUU 1.53 which should re flash the One s to stock and fix wifi. After re locking boot loader and trying RUU 1.53.531 and 1.84 get error "155" from RUU, so i tried OTA, OTA downloaded but fails on install. what i believe i need is a non rooted 1.84.531 nandroid backup to match my baseband and hboot. because my radio is most recent and Hboot is 1.14.0004 havent been able to flash radios. Please HELP hope i was clear
HTC one S TMO US
stock non root-1.53.531.16 710RD
base-band 1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04l
hboot-1.14.0004
[fixed] one step missing when i was trying to unroot with RUU I needed to flash STOCK RECOVERY before updating. didnt even have to OEM lock. after that OTA worked fine fully updated One s and most importantly fixed WIFI.

Can't flash anyting to my One SV, help(I want to revert to stock)

Hello guys,
As you can see from the title I am in some deep trouble. The device I have is the HTC One SV 4G LTE. This is not my personal phone, a friend gave it to me to see if I could fix it. I got the device with S-OFF, SuperCID, rooted, I downgraded to HBOOT 1.01(or atleast I think I did it), I am using a stock deodexed 4.2.2 ROM(the one from old.splatterhand), Soft Number 3.11.401.1. The phone has a problem with the radio and you can't really talk because the only thing you hear is a robotic voice. My idea is that if I can revert it to the stock ICS software, kernel, firmware this would be fixed(my friend updated to JellyBean and this problem with the radio happened). He actually had some authorized services try to fix it but they only ended where I am now. I can't seem to install the ICS RUU because I get an Error 158(wrong image), now I get error 170(no connection). The only thing I can do is fiddle with the CID and flash a new recovery. Anything else gives me <remote notAllowed> in ADB. I tried the PL80IMG thing with the full rom from the RUU and the ones that were with some downgraded HBOOT but to no avail. I get wrong Model ID. Does anybody have any that does not involve selling the device for spare parts(or running over it with a hammer)?BTW the device is from Europe, Balkan region and it's now unbranded.
I managed to flash the stock 4.2.2 kernel and some stock recovery and boot IMGs but I can't seem to apply the OTA update. The baseband is that of the 4.0.4 ICS K2_UL and when I tried to install the corresponding RUU it says that the model ID is wrong... Any ideas?
Case closed. Extracted the firmware zip from the OTA, opened the android-info.txt and replaced with my CID, rezipped and flashed using RUU commands in ADB.
