My phone is on Android Version 2.3.4, and I checked and it appears there is an update from the "HTC Software Updates".
I try to run the update but get the blue android and the exclamation mark. I have S-Off and a custom recovery. Can someone please point me in the right direction on what I would need to do so that I can update my phone?
Thank you.
Hello,
Can you provide more information about this Update OTA have you received?
The size? (exemple: 100 mb)
Please give a screen of the update notification (not the error screen)
Thank you
I got an update notification too, but its just for HTC Twitter as far as I'm aware

@SychoSly: Please confirm this update is for Twitter ?
Because For France this update came nearly one month ago for HTC Sensation et Sensation XE.
I have attached a screenshot of the update. It does not say what the update is, just that is: 14.24MB.
Thanx you,
And for you problem, please return to original recovery.
I just got this one....1.50.401.1_R_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2

There is a guide on how to do exactly that located here on XDA somewhere. Search for it in the development forum, follow the instructions, and you'll be all set to apply the update.

The update was indeed a HTC Twitter update for me, nothing more than that. I am running the stock, rooted and s-off XE ROM and it installed just fine. I have had no other update than that.

Hi, I rooted my phone and tried a rom, but I forgot to change the version of the radio so now I can't boot into anything except recovery mode and bootloader I forgot to backup so I've been trying to do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
But it keeps saying installation aborted.
Please help me get back to a stock version or something so I can use the Android Revolution Rom!
Phone is a regular sensation not the XE one
Need more information. By radio version do you mean firmware update? What steps have you done? What does your h boot screen say?

my friend asked me that he was to update his incredible s
so i downloaded the file for him from the htc download center
how to apply this update file?
The file named vivo-2.6.35-gb-mr-f445c95e.tar.gz
I downloaded from
http://htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads
Are you sure it's an update, or is it just kernel sources?
Yep, I just extracted and it's kernel sources. I don't think you're going to do anything with that...
I m not sure with that. What do think whether is it kernel source or update and what is the difference?

It's kernel source code. You would use that as a base to compile a custom kernel for the device. Trust me, it's not what you're looking for!
I want to downgrade my software. Is there any way to do that?
Because Wight now I m on hboot 1.27 locked bootloader s-on. I can't use the dev method to unlock my bootloader. Do u know a way to unlock it?

Nice topic switch btw...
Thank you.
Can this work if I have unlocked bootloader?
I would be happy if u link me to a guide to install it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e
That is the guide to s-off your bootloader... You cannot downgrade unless you do that first.
Can it unlock my bootliader?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e
Forget about unlocking your bootloader. This will give you s-off. Once you're s-off you can flash the GB firmware and go with either a stock or custom rom/recovery...
If you unlock your bootloader you won't have access to flash radios or kernels and cannot downgrade.
Go HERE to get GB firmware, stock GB roms, and instructions for downgrading. It's after step 5...
Thank you very much. I was having a wrong understanding that I have to unlock my bootloader to soff and install any custom Rom. Since u said we only need to soff, then I will give a try on the soff tool u linked me too.
Thank you.

I'm sorry to say that.. But for jb soff you do require unlocked bootloader.. also you need to be rooted which also can be done only when you have unlocked bootloader.
As for the htcdev unlock failing at flashing token with error "token check failed".. almost every person. Who has been trying this for the past few weeks has got the same error.. This might be because of either htcdev unlock is not generating the unlock_code.bin properly.. Or the ppl with recent phones /recently repaired phones have some cosemitic change in the motherboard which is causing this failure

Hi !
Just bought this used Sensation XE with Gingerbread 2.3.4 and when I downloaded update to 4.0 from Software Update I am unable to install cause during installation the phone switches off and reboots to a screen with a Triangle and an Exclamation sign and a small cartoon android next to it.
After waiting for nearly 10 minutes I took out the battery and booted again and now it is running GB once again normally.
I am afraid I might damage my phone if I do again and so may have to go to HTC service center in Bangkok once again. ( I live in Bangkok )
But any advices please ? ( I downloaded once again and checked to see if I had downloaded the entire file the first time but it is the same )
Afraid I am a noob with HTC. I had a Samsung Galaxy S and I had rooted it and must have installed more then 10 ICS on it but with HTC it is not the same and more complicated though I LOVe the Sense compared to Touchwiz now !
Please help !
Thanks !
Is the phone rooted now?
It seems you got rooted rom.. Normally for the ota update to happen three conditions has to be met..
1.cid match (which is matching in your case bother wise you won't even get the update)
2.stock recovery
3.non rooted stock rom
Check whether these conditions are being met or not..

Hi,
Yep as ganeshp has said, check your phone maybe it's rooted. If no and you still have some dificulties, try to install RUU from here:
filefactory[dot]com/f/c87a2330449af512
Yes...I just discovered its rooted. ( being used had no idea )
Since It's not easy like Samsung to unroot, pls advice me what I should do ?
1. Can u advice me to unroot and HOW ? ( the instructions on web is very confusing )
2. Since It's rooted can I install custom Rom but which case do I loose the radio ?
3. To install official ics it says open Bootloader. How do I find if my Bootloader is open or not ?
4. On the white screen it says Locked on top. Does it pertains to S Off ? Do I need to open that too ? And how ?
My sincere aplogies for so many questions but I know almost nothing about HTC.
My thanks !

1.download supersu app ..there inside settings ..there is option to do permanent unroot
2.to decide you can install custom root or not ..you need to post the complete details of the bootloader ..(bootloader is the place where you went in point #4)
3.you did opened the bootloader in point #4
4.ignore the locked part ..post the next line something like "PYRAMID PVT SOFF/SON RL " (if SOFF lucky ..you are eligible to install custom roms ) and probably you are SOFF as you are rooted (unless you are SOFF or have "UNLOCKED" bootloader you cant have root ..but you have LOCKED and root ..so you are most probably soff)
confirm these ..and ill give you the proper guide based on the answers
Hi my friend,
Today unrooted my phone and installed gb stock ROM 2.3.4 in order to have company update ( or i update via ota ) but...made a stupid mistake.
I have copied and pasted my inquiry in a new thread . It's as follows :
I unrooted the sensation xe today. No experience with HTC whatsoever. By mistake installed RUU Gingerbread 2.3.4... but of Sensation instead of Sensation xe.
Now have all specs showing of Sensation like 1.2 GHZ and no Beats Audio, etc.
My question is this :
I have downloaded now ICS update RUU file ( the correct one for sensation xe ) but it says that my phone Must Be a Sensation XE and nothing else.
But after this installation of Sensation RUU , isn't my phone just Sensation now or I still can update with power off into bootloader from this ICS RUU since in reality it is a Sensation xe ?
Or do I need to install sensation xe gb first to upgrade ?
Please advice. I don't want to plug in my usb and install wrongly.
Any way out please ?
Thanks in advance.

first flash the gb sensation xe ruu ..then only on the top of that apply the sensation xe ICS OTA
but first if you got OTA (over the air update) not RUU ..then do as above
if you got ICS sensation xe RUU ..then you can ignore the current condition of the phone and can happly apply ICS xe RUU (small hint XE RUU will have _LE_ in their name)
but seeing that you were able to apply sensation RUU on sensation XE i think you are SOFF ..which makes solving problems easy
Thanks ! But during unroot , s-off is on so cannot update from RUU . The software shows a phone on left side but now it only shows an outline of phone. And does not update.
So now I have sensation xe running gb 2.3.4 with regular sensation software instead.
It's unrooted and bootloader locked and s-off on.
Pls help !
Thanks !

I didnt get you
now you have sensation xe ..and are you getting update on it ?
if so are you able to download it ?
can you post your cid and the ruu name you used for your sensation xe ?
I am unable to provide u with RUU details cause in the office now but its like this :
In the beginning I had bought this second hand sensation xe but rooted and with GB 2.3.4 which I wanted to update to 4.0
Company refused cause it was rooted which i did not realize at that time.
So, searched the net and found how to unroot which made me think that after this I will give it to company HTC to update official version.
Little did I think that on unroot my phone will then loose Beats Audio and in all respects become the first Sensation !
So now It's unrooted, s-on , locked like out of the box except with wrong software ! And I don't know if anything can be done about it !
Yes, after unroot i had downloaded Software Update from Settings and it showed me the downloaded file in a long list which then I Extracted by pressing the Menu key.
After extraction I installed by touching the file and the phone went into long reboot and back....to the same.
Hope this helps though I will send u RUU description today evening ( I am in Thailand )
Kind regards.

i dont believe it has made the phone s-on. not possible by simply fashing a ruu. please fully turn off the phone, hold down volume down + power. when bootloader boots copy everything onto a post here please.
yes post the bootloader deails as heavy_metal_man said .. but after power off remove battery ,reinsert it then do the rest as he said
Sorry. I did not explain properly.
After flashing RUU I had to go into Command prompt and type 3 commands. Can't remember now. Too complicated. This was to restore my s on from off.
Thanks !

That was the BIG mistake you did ..turning SON after SOFF (fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 command right ?) is not required at all ..unless you want to return the phone for warranty purposes..as SOFF wont hurt you anytime ..when you stay on stock (also fyi the unroot process doesnt include turning SON)
now post the complete output of this following command excluding IMEI..with phone connected from fastboot to pc (the same way you did SON using the three commands )
fastboot getvar all
Thanks
Though I do not understand this completely i will go home tonight and do my best to comply.
Thanks again.

yes you can absolutely but dont update to ICS via RUU or OTA if you want to root and install custom roms the easy way
Please, pls, can u in that case provide me links to root and recommend a stable custom ROM ?
How to instructions would be great.
I am a noob of the highest caliber when it comes to HTC.
Tried to find links to root for my phone but afraid I might mess up again.
I trust your judgement and u have been so quick on yr replies that It's so impressive and I thank u for your kind help !

ok first soff using this guide ..only SOFF i.e step #1
then you need to follow this guide to the letter ....post #1 and post #2 (the custom rom used is close to stock and one of the most popular/stable rom)
God bless.
Thanks !
Will try when I reach home tonight.

Number one what's your objective meaning what are trying to achieve you could have found a xe ruu instead and my suggestion if you won't the ruu for the xe you will have to read before flashing don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be rude but this could have been avoided had you did a bit more reading and ask question's before running that ruu but let me do some searching around to see what I can find and I'll get back with you on the result's sit tight well I'm back and its a no go on the ruu for the xe strange though you think it would be in available but it isn't and also you could check with your carrier's web site for your device and it may point you in the right direction I don't know but it's worth a try I'm with tmo u s and thats how I found the latest update for my senssation and you could have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326631
