ill be rooting this, how do i get ics? do i have to flash a ruu then flash roms? or if i want, i just flash sensation xe roms and im good to go? please help
Right now there are a couple of ICS roms.
Personally I'm using ARHD's ICS rom & it works perfectly with a good battery life.
Follow the steps here till after writing SuperCID.
For ICS ROM, you would need to flash firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU from here.
For support for newer ICS rom's like ARHD's. All 4.0.3 ICS Roms runs on 3.12.401.2/102
& It's been said that this firmware runs good with Gingerbread too.
-Warning Only Flash after Rooting-
Heres the one I'm using. ARHD
The guide to do this can be found at ARHD's post itself under the "How to Flash" Section.
Hopes this helps!
can you tell me the steps to flash the ruu?
i download the file, and i put it in root of sdcard and i go to bootloader or fastboot and flash?
do i have to check anything before doing this? thanks. and will it brick my phone?

you MUST do Super CID. Set it to 11111111.
MAKE SURE IT IS 11111111 BEFORE FLASHING.
If not it might cause issues like bricking.
If you wait some days more ( like a month or less), HTC will announce the official update

Thanks to all answares!
Then i go back to shipped firmware again. I think the modified rom´s perhaps make som issues, and i don´t need root/s-off.
Hello,
I can't install this RUU... I have a "ID client" problem.
Just before, I had install this one :
RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_FR_1.23.163.1_Radio_10.38.900 7.00P_10.11.9007.06_M3_release_190415_signed (found on XDA)
Since, I can(t do something because I"m blocking with S-ON boolloader version 1.17.005...
PS : HTC Sensation 2.3.3 SFR stock ROM
My friend has an HTC Sensation that he rooted and tried to put an ics rom on. I tried to help him as I have rooted 3 different types of phones and installed several custom roms on them. I updates the firmware and that broke the phone. I fixed by running the 1.50 ruu. Unlock with htcdev and installed cwm. Can't get s off or get roms to boot. Please advise.

Unfortunately htc.dev only unlocks part of the bootloader and you can't flash radio.img or boot.img to the device. Revolutionary will not work on htc.dev unlocked device, and roms may not boot unless official htckernel (boot.img) is used.
Solution is to run your ruu again, and start over using the thread posted above. If that fails there is a way to recover the device, I'll find a link and post it.

I tried the ruu again and it says security fail on the phone. do I need to relock the bootloader? If that doesn't work I will try the methods above. Thank you all for the help.
OK yes try to relock - its part of the guide posted above. Its a bit of a process but shown to work!

So I finally got the virtuous rom to work by using adb to flash the boot.img and that rom is working. Can't get the bootloader to lock back so I can root with revolutionary or use an ruu. Frustrated.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
OK so you have bootable rom and working recovery? Next you need to flash the 2.3.3 rom according to the instructions in the guide posted above. This will downgrade and relock bootloader, you should then be able to s-off & root.

Hmmm, annoying.
You may be able to find something else by searching, instructions specify a stock rooted 2.3.3 rom, not necessarily the actual one in the link.

G'day champ,
Welcome back, begin with the guides provided below.
1. S-off, unlock, recovery, root & SuperCID
[Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on
2. Install the latest firmware, 3.32 is needed for the latest base.
[Firmware][Mar 30]User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24,3.30 & 3.32 Unlocked
3. Flash a ROM, Android Revolution HD(ARHD) is the most popular(for good reason)
[ROM] Android Revolution HD 6.5.5 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | 3.32.401.105
After all that, feel free to learn what you will, there's plenty to learn, it just requires reading, and problems, there's guides all over the Sensation forums, generally within the first couple of pages.
Thank you for all that. What is the firmware step for??

For what reasons exactly
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
You can root without doing supercid. Supercid is optional.
It allows you more flexibility though. Useful if you want to flash other areas/carriers rom. Personally I prefer to keep original cid.
Recently I couldn't receive ota update to ICS because I was supercid, then reverted to the original one and suddenly I received the Ota update notice.
It's up to you whether supercid or not and it's not a real concern because you can revert at anytime.
What is your current hboot version? Power off, pull battery, press & hold vol down and power to enter bootloader and read it off.
You have to check your hboot is supported by revolutionary- the tool to give you s-off.

And the OTA thing... Say i update my phone..will i lose root n such..
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Yes you will lose everything and bootloader will become 1.27 (which is unsupported by revolutionary) Unless you have S-OFF before the update that is.
As for SuperCID, Its optional but HIGHLY recommended, As said before, it allows you to flash any firmware from any region....
If you dont have it, You MUST make sure it matches your CID or it wont boot... It can also be tricky to find one for your region (depending where you are)
It only takes a second, And its permanent and reversible
When i switch from rom to rom... Do i superwipe then flash rom everytime??
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
You can do, but its not necessary, Have a look at the installation guide for the ROM your going to flash.... Usually if you are updating the same ROM wipe isnt needed..
If you are going to a different ROM altogether, A wipe is a MUST

When you say "flash", do you mean to copy the exe file into the root of your sd card and install it via recovery?
