Hi XDA,
I appreciate that somehwhere on this forum this question has probably been asked, and resolved.. but I really need some help here because either I'm dumb or this just simply hasn't been covered with the words 'Sensation XE'
Right, I installed Virtuos ROM (AOSP Ice Cream Sandwich). I upgraded my Firmware to the one that it uses, but quickly decided that AOSP is simply not the way for me. In order to downgrade back to a GB ROM, I flashed the 1.73 HBOOT version.
I then went about installing Android Revoloution, however for some reason I am experiencing instability within the system. I have installed it through 4EXT, formatted the system ect. So I decided that I wanted to revert to Stock and go through the rooting process again and basically re-install everything.
This is where I got stuck. There seems to be absolutely no Stock Sensation XE RUU's on XDA? I downloaded one RUU software number '1.45.401.3' however it tells me that I need to find the correct Rom Upgrade Utility.
Could somebody please point me in the correct direction of a Stock Sensation XE ROM. Not one that is Rooted or anything, I mean a genuine RUU. I have looked at the S-ON guide and the collection of Shipped ROM's however none say that they are specifically for the XE. Thank's in advance!
ISSUE NOW SOLVED​
Putting the phone into Fastboot and then trying to flash '1.45.401.3' works for some strange reason. No complaints, Stock ROM re-flashing as we speak.
Could you provide me link to the stock rom... as i too want to revert back on stock rom, does simply flashing the rom resolved your problem?

I apologize if this has been asked already, but does anyone know the RUU for the Sensation on sale from Telecom NZ?
I've flashed the latest Revolution HD ROM and am having no end of battery related problems (overheating, discharging very quickly, etc) unfortunately the great tweaks do not outweigh the requirement for a functional phone so I would like to go back to stock.
Maybe someone could recommend a good guide for returning completely to the stock state (Unrooted, S-On, etc) as well?
Thanks in advance...

follow the link hit ctrl-f and type step 5. should lead you to "STEP 5 - CHANGING BACK TO S-ON - ...... blah blah blah"
hope that helps
Thanks for that, I'm still a little confused as the instructions say to find the closest RUU to the stock ROM for your handset, however I do not know which RUU came with mine.
I'm really hoping someone here knows the answer?
Thanks again.
UPDATE: I've restored a backup I made prior to flashing Revolution HD and I have the stock ROM again. However I'd still like to know the RUU if anyone could please let me know? Will need to put it completely back to stock if the issues I've seen turn out to be a fault with the handset itself
After doing your nandroid restore you can go to settings - about phone - software information.
There should be a string in there which says something like 1.35.405 or along those lines. This is the version number of the stock rom and will tell you which ruu you need to use to revert the phone to factory defaults.
If you are not sure post the complete version number here and I will try to find the right ruu for you.

Thanks for that, the software version is 1.34.781.2
I could not find a match for the RUU in this post:

But I'm hopeful you have a better idea than I do
Thanks again!
Sorry buddy, don't know why I said I would find it for you. But of an insult to your intelligence really. Couldn't find it either but it appears baadnews cooked a rom based off it according to a google search for it. Maybe you could try sending him a pm and see if he has it our a link to it?

Hi b.coxy,did you find RUU for sensation on Telecom?Had you completely unrooted and restored to telecom stock firmware?I also wanna unroot and restore my sensation z710a back to stock rom.I appreciate if you could help. Thanks.
I too would be interested in the New Zealand RUU for the Telecom HTC Sensation.
Just in case I need to go back to stock for some reason.
Never managed to find an RUU sorry. In the end I had to reflash my original backup of the telecom stock and go from there.
Have since upgraded to a One X but will be happy to have a dig around for that backup if anyone is still in need?

Can someone please help me? i currently have the HTC sensation i have Android Revolution HD 3.6.2 phone is s-off it says hboot 1.17.2008(PG5810000)
Radio 10.14.9035.01_M
I want to return to stock tmob rom because the battery life was just better for me and i just dont want to mod anything..none of the roms i d/l work the phone will boot to HTC screen and keep flashing only the Android Revolution works, phone shows as it is not rooted when using root checker but busybox is ok, I have read everything on how to unroot started with the guide from from this forum but when i tried using the 1.29 tmobile ruu it says error 155...is there anything else i can do..i have been at it for almost a week and just wanna go stock anyone that can help much appreciated
Im sorry i take back my last post i have returned to a stock tmobile rom right after this post..im a noob at this its my first android phone
Which RUU did you use? I've been having a similar problem where I try to flash other ROM's after a SuperWipe, and only Android Revolution Works. and I tried the RUU for Tmobile both of them that are in the development thread and got error 155.
i have no idea why roms other than revolution worked..i wanted to go stock, if thats what you are trying to do then i made the mistake of NOT SHOWING HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS..you must do this in control panel settings...after that i followed step by METHOD 2 - ENG HBOOT in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033
i used RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed
try going back into stock then doing a new s-off/root if you really want to..i'm not going to try it again for some time...best of luck
Hi all,
I tried some searching, before I started this one. And I allready want to offer my apologizies if I overlooked something. There is so much info on these boards.
Anyway. I have a Sensation which I've S-off'ed with the Revolutionary tool. After that I changed CID and installed a stock HTC ROM (I came from Vodafone branded).
I've read trhough Mike's thread for ARHD and instructions on installing it, but it only mentions that I should flash it using the Recovery that's coming with the Revolutionary tool.
Should I run the Revolutionary tool again (I allready gained S-Off) and install the the recovery, or is it just possible to install the recovery alone? And if so, where can I find the version that comes with Revolutionary?
Thanks in advance.
Since you are S-Off just download the ARHD zip and place it on your SD card. Then open bootloader...etc and it will install

Hi,
Your best bet is to download 4EXT(check my sig),which is like a next generation recovery tool,and install it.
Place the new ROM on the root of your sd card,together with a super wipe zip.
Then ,from your homescreen you can open 4EXT ,go to recovery,install zip from your sd card.
Choose the super wipe zip,followed by the new ROM.
Hit proceed and wait.
Thanks man,
I'll have to read up a bit. I'm kinda new to all this. Since everyone was mentioning CWM I thought it was the only way to do it.
But if I'm not mistaken, I install EXT4 while running OS? And next time it boots, you have a different recovery. I'm used to only seeing HBOOT

Hi,
Go to settings >power,and make sure fast boot is UNCHECKED.
This will enable you to enter recovery.
Install EXT4 while running OS.
One of the best aspects of 4EXT ,is that you do almost everything from your home screen.
Wow, thanks for the information. I appreciate that.
Will go at work with it and get ARHD to run, instead of the stock one. The reactions on the releases at Mike's thread are all really good. And it's nice that is has stock look and Sense.
Only doubting on which one to install, the 3.x.x or the 4.x.x. I believe it has to do with Sensation vs. Sensation XE ROM, but if Beats Audio is the only difference (which I guess, is not ) than it shouldn't matter which one I take.
Any suggestions on it? I'm just an average user.

Hi,
I suggest you start with 3.6.5 ,which is a Sense 3.0 ROM ,and see how you get on.
4.1.6 is a Sense 3.5 ROM,but it is still a test ROM,and therefore not 100% functional.
Hello all,
This is the first time I write on the forum and I'm another frustrated HTC One S (S3) user.
My phone is the Indian version (CID: HTC__038). It's still on the 4.0.3 version (it hasn't got the OTA update yet) and I cannot find any information related to when the 4.0.4 will be released in this region.
So, if I want to get the 4.0.4 I basically have two options:
- Install a custom ROM
- Install a RUU for other country
For the first point, I looked at the TrickDroid 4.0 but I found another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33374826&postcount=424) where someone says that you only can install this ROM if you phone has the 4.0.4 version as base. Can anyone confirm this?
As for the second point, I found the problem that it's impossible (so far) to change the CID on the S3 model. So, there is no way to install a RUU from another country. Is this right?
Please, I would appreciate if you can help me on this or tell me a different way to upgrade to 4.0.4.
Thanks!
I know i won't be of any help to you, but i'm in the very same situation
My CID is HTC__662 (Hong Kong), and also for this: no RUU, no OTA, no Custom Rom 4.0.4 based...
And DO NOT try to flash TD v4!! U'll get only into bootloop; i think it's a matter of hboot that's different from 4.0.4 and 4.0.3 (for example, if u take a look at mcOneS3 rom u'll see it's a prerequisite).
I've spent more or less 2 days flashing, rebooting, soft-bricking, crying, recovering, crying again...at the end (after a brief test of TrickDroid 3.0.0, the only Rom i got to work but that did not match my needs) i've been happy to succeed in restoring old stock 4.0.3...
As far as i've understood: as long as we have no OTA/RUU, we are screwed.
I was told that it was only made for the T-Mobile version, but I'm pretty sure that's not right.
Same here, my CID is BSTAR301, still running the stock 4.0.3 and havent even found the RUU for that CID.. I don't really want root or flash any rom yet for warranty purposes (and because I'm satisfied by the way it is, so no need to get my hands dirty on it!) thus I'm relying on official updates, but considering the updates are region/CID/carrier dependant it's highly unlikely that I'll get 4.0.4 let alone Jelly Bean/sense 4+ by the end of the year... what a fricking joke!

I have a HTC one XL (s-on, hboot 1.14) with magio rom (4.2) installed. Suddenly my phone stopped getting a network signal. At first I thought its a hardware issue but then I found out it with the software plus its a common issue. Im not an experienced user.
So far I've found out the solutions are
1) Updating the firmware - I have no idea about this. Do I have to install the stock and root again? Is this installing the stock RUU? My CID is all ones, something like 1111111. Will I brick my phone? Do I have to install both th rom and firmware?
2) Beastmod - I feel dumb after reading this thread because it doesnt say what are the requirements to install this. Never installed a kernal before.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165880
3) Market app - network speed boost - I tried this, workd like a charm in the first.Sent a few texts but as soon as I made a call I lost the network
Due to my lack of knowledge on the subject I'm sacared to experiment because there is a chance of bricking the phone. I understand the issue is related with android 4.2 so a noob proof guide will help everyone who have the issue.
(example - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787148)
kind regards
Whether you decide to update the firmware or install the Beastmode kernel, you will need s-off. You'll find the s-off thread here. You'll almost definitely need to change ROMs temporarily as it seems to be virtually impossible to achieve on a Sense 5 Android 4.2.2 ROM.
The kernel is s-on friendly but many people who are s-on have had trouble installing it. The 2.15 firmware can be found in the first post of this thread, along with instructions on how to flash it. It has nothing to do with returning to stock or RUUs and you don't need to modify your phone other than getting s-off first.

The firmware package being discussed (for resolving signal drop issues on Sense 5 ROMs) and linked by timmaaa above is not an RUU, but just the hboot, radio, boot.img, media and WiFi modules that came with the "official" Sense 5 OTA. It will only overwrite the modules I named, not the ROM. Nothing else needs to be done (you will still have your current ROM, root, etc.).
You must be s-off to install this.
