Hi All,
I am looking to jump into ICS and am wondering how stable is the lastest 3.24 version or 3.25 vers RUU from HTC?
Can I run the 3.25 LE version on a standard Sensation (non-XE)?
What bugs have been discovered so far?
I dont want to go to a modded version yet, just looking at the original RUUs.
Yes, I have S-Off, unlocked boot etc.
Cheers

I am running Android Revolution HD 6.2.1 XE on my TMO US Sensation. Its worked exceptionally well, and I think it is more than stable enough for daily use.

if you choose to try it out, make sure you use the XE version, as the Reg version's browser has some weird flicker going on (they patched the XE one already)

Yes you could Trev.
However do keep in mind that 3.25 ver RUU only only supports Sense 3.6 And above ROMs. Some say even 4.0.3 ASOP roms are not supported.
For bug wise, I don't remember there being bugs in any RUU firmware packages.
As for the above mentioned ARHD 6.2.1,
If you install the Radio, Firmware, Super Wipe & the ROM correctly,
I can guarantee you that it will be smooth like butter.
However I AM facing a particular bug which is me being unable to connect to any other WiFi Spots other than my WiFi Spot that I have used in the first Boot
Configuration. And also, the WiFi Hotspot problem, which can be solved using the Barnacle WiFi Tether From the Android Market.
Cheers

I Need some help.. I'm a bit confused. I Want to try 3.24 firmware based ROMS, but i see i need to upgrade firmware. My question is, can i run GB ROMS on that firmware version?
Thanks!
nope, you can't run GB on that firmware, you'll have to revert back to your old hboot/firmware to run GB again. I was skeptical at first, but couldn't resist. Decided to try ICS, no regrets so far! GB? Hell no, not going back!
Not only can you not run GB roms, but you can't run ICS roms based on the 3.12 firmware. You can always reflash your firmware and downgrade if things don't work out, though.
Hmm.. thanks for answers. I recently became a fan of MIUI (was using 3
.12 ICS Sense before), but Sense 3.6 and the reports that its even more smooth makes me want to try it.

That 3.24 firmware apparently causes some problems with one of the Sensation LCD panels and makes it have a blue tint.
And you can do some 3.24 ROMS on 3.12.
Virtuous Quattro is 3.24 based and I'm running it just fine on 3.12.
Hello, I'm kind of semi bricked and on hboot 1.23 so I can't flash any other firmware files or pretty much do anything via hboot but I can still run 3.12 firmware roms. Can anybody please find me some, any roms that run 3.12. It doesntt matter to me if they are outdated.
Here ya go buddy sense 3.0
Rom is very nice smooth etc here's the link

What do you mean semi bricked?? Still s-off?

No, my hboot is useless so i cant flash any of the newest 3.24 firmware roms and above because i have hboot 1.23 and its terrible and half-done. Half of the functions are missing. When trying to flash a new firmware it gets to unzipping then just immediately reboots hboot.
can somebody please find me an ics dl link fir firmware 3.12 such at arhd 6.0.0? i've searched but all of thepages just have the most recent one with a higher firmware.

If you have s off, 1.23 h boot can also run GB ROM. Try COREDROID v4 if you want ICS, it's running great for me and it works on you current h boot, also their 3.3 GB works well too none of the ICS bugs. Also look in the stickies in development section the files you want are there.

i need an unsecured boot.img for it which it doesnt have, thanks for trying though
now there are several types of android4.0+sense4.0 ROMs out there, currently I am using Ordroid 1.8.3 ROM (beats audio, BT are not working) for my Sensation XE , I am a noob, so I want to ask: will my phone possibly be bricked if I flash different android4.0+sense4.0 ROMs? I heard that many phone owners got their phone bricked when they are trying to flash and change different 4.0 ROMs...
I got firmware 2.32, super CID, 4EXT recovery touch 1.0.0.4 RC3 in my phone.
Thanks for all your help.

This is a good if not the best 4.0 ICS rom. There is pretty much no issues, everything works and it is senseless. It has very good battery life also, just follow directions on how to update everything, it is fairly easy
Read the developer's instructions
First use the recommended firmware. Almost all HTC sensation ics roms use the 3.32.4xx firmware go to mikes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849 and lea;rn more about it. I'm currently using Opensation CM9 ICS 4.0.4. I installed the 3.32.40xxx firmware and I installed almost all the popular ics ROMS and it worked perfectly. Just use the recommended firmware and don't install ics with sense 4.0. Use mike1986 roms or the senseless virtuous Inquisition and they work perfectly with the 3.32.4xx firmware.

Thanks for your help guy...I will have a look at the ROM you recommend..
So, the official ICS RUU upgrade is here. I've had some experience with various custom ICS roms, and I found that I love Sense (3.6) and ICS.
Reading the prerequisites and other documentation got me thinking. I hope you guys can answer my questions, or some of them.
1. What does the ICS RUU have over custom ICS roms? I can't imagine anything, except for an updated radio perhaps?
This will help me determine whether I may get the ICS RUU or stay on a custom rom.
2. The prerequisite is having the HBOOT 2.00.2002 bootloader. Plenty links and instructions for backupping and flashing that, that will work.
However, *why* is is necessary to update it? Something to do with the size of the ICS RUU, which leads me to believe that the HBOOT 2.00.2002 is much smaller than my current alpharev 6.98.1002 HBOOT. But AFAIK (in general) bootloaders are quite small..
3. Are the any advantages to the HBOOT 2.00.2002 bootloader? Besides being to install the ICS RUU.
4. Since I'm thinking of updating other parts of my phone besides the OS itself (HBOOT, see point 2) I got thinking about the radio too.
My radio is version RADIO-3805.06.02.03_M
I have very poor reception in some parts of the country where I regurarly am (many weekends per year). Updating to the latest official Radio may give me better reception. Updating to what HTC considers the best radio firmware seems like a good idea, right?
Is this the wrong forum to ask these questions?

Let's see... no need to go the X-Clip route to root your phone, just do an unlock and that's it.
You should do your research first as almost all has already been answered.
1. ICS that came out is official from HTC. That means its more stable, faster, and less buggy from their eyes. And may also be true if compared to other Custom ROMs. Its a matter of preference and ROM testing to see the differences.
2. The untouched ICS ROM also works for HBOOT v2.00.002 (came from Sense 3.0 release, Gingerbread). The HBOOT v2.02.002 (came from Sense 3.6 release, Ice Cream Sandwich) is an updated version of the latter. There maybe great changes, or maybe not. I have not seen any changelog from the net. Based on my experience, HBOOT from ICS does not want the System/Lib partition to be formatted via ROM flash from recovery. But the HBOOT from the GB can.
3. Not known yet. See number 2.
4. Yes and no. Yes, because HTC wants you to use the radio that is included from the RUU as they see fit that that is the best for its ROM. No, because some ROMs or its developers, same as HTC, prefers certain radios to be used, that is if you plan to use custom ROMs. Regarding your reception, the Desire S has already been found to have a lesser or weaker reception compared to other phones. Even older Nokia phones sometimes are better from it. Depends on your area as well.

Emm, im afraid this is the wrong thread, this is in the "Desire S" forum.
Hi Folks! I am completely new to XDA as well as all the android stuff, I used to be on Nokia before Forgive me if I have posted in the wrong section...
Basically I managed to upgrade my HTC Desire S to ICS 4.0.4 using the RUU on HTCDev.com. Having used it for about a month now, I want to go back to Gingerbread 2.3.5 Sense 2.1 as it is much easier on the battery as well as being much smoother to run. My problem is that from the shippedromes.com site, there are several gingerbread ruu's available, so out of this list (these are all europe), which one do i choose for Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 2.1?:
1. RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe
2. RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe
3. RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
4. RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed.exe
5. RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.exe
To me they all look the same but obviously there is some difference as they have different numbers in their file names.
Thanks in advance!
The trouble is you can't just flash a ruu version lower than the one running on your device (downgrade), because by default you can just upgrade.
See this thread for the procedure to downgrading.

Be careful as you will probably lose your warranty doing this!

Thnx for your quick reply,
My phone is already over 1 year, so warrenty is is gone anayway I think!
I understand the procedure to downgrade my phone, such as changing the HBOOT, unlock bootloader, S-off, revolutionary, clockwork recovery etc. But when it comes to actually installing/flashing the Gingerbread RUU, which RUU should I used? I wan to downgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.5 (the one that shipped with the phone originally) with Sense 2.1. I'm in the U.K, and my phone is unbranded. It is also currently running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 with Sense 3.6. If you could inform me which RUU I should use from the list in my first post I will be very grateful.
Thnx again
The ruus with 2.10 at the beginning are definitely sense 3.0, I don't know which sense version 1.47 and 1.28 ruus are, but 1.28 will be the oldest.

Thanks alot! I think I will flash 1.28 first and see what it is. If not, I will probably flash 1.47 instead, which should be possible without anymore tinkering as it's a higher RUU.
And I definitely don't want Sense 3.0, I would rather stay on ICS then!
Thanks again for the quick answers!
There was never Sense 2.1 for this phone to begin with. Sense 3.0 is the earliest you can get.
This makes your question, well, void.
Any Gingerbread RUU will be fine.
1.28 is Sense 2.1.
1.47 is the same but with some fixes. I suggest to go with this.
The rest higher versions are with Sense 3, except the ICS RUU of course
