Good day
I got my new sensation 2 days ago i need to install new RUU on the device but i don't know where to start and what to do
plz i need help thxx
You can't flash an RUU that's different from you original version. It's been covered SO many times before it's not funny.
What RUU are you trying to flash and what ROM is currently on your phone?
im trying to install "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_ARA_1.34.415.1"
and idon't know what is the current RUU on my device
my problem is :
i want to add arabic support to my device , when i run the RUU it can't discover the device, my device is connects and set to USB disk drive
You can't do it. To find the version on your handset go to Settings>About phone>Software information
And it shouldn't be connected in Disk Drive mode to run an RUU - you set it to HTC Sync (and you need HTC Sync installed on your PC)
Android Version 2.3.3
Software number 1.35.720.1
Kernal 2.6.35.10-g9cef70d
and if i can't how can i install arabic support on device??
You can't, simple as that. You need to wait until we have root access to flash a new ROM which has Arabic support built into it. Might be weeks yet
as mentioned above, you just can't at the moment, for arabic webpages however you can download Firefox which renders arabic websites without a problem, I know that doesn't solve all the problems though, the facebook app for instance can't ready arabic unless it's supported natively by the rom, don't worry though, once HTC releases its S-off update all will be fine.

So it also won't be possible to flash the "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.900 7.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed"
to a 1.34.206.1 (Europe) device, right? =(
or is there a possibility to do this?
Would be really nice to get that unbranded version to my phone cause I really dislike waiting weeks or longer for a new branded version every time a new software version is released.. :/
That's correct, you can't debrand until we have full root access
Not what I've wanted to read but thanks for the answer :')
I hope that will change soon

Your thread in general isn't helpful to the guy dragging up an 8 month old thread. To answer the question you need to s-off, set super cid and then flash the RUU you wish to use

im sorry but im new to this thread lark so no need 2 have a go at me
Hello everyone,
This is my first post and sorry if this question was already answered, but I couldn't find the answer to my particular question when I searched for it. I just recently got my Sensation for T-Mobile a couple weeks ago and rooted it but do not have the S-OFF because of the OTA update to 2.3.4 so I used the HTC unlock method. Is there any way I can get the s-off because I am finding it difficult to flash a lot of ROMs I want to try since a lot of them either never load or they just go into an infinite boot loop? Thanks for all your help and advice and I'm hoping I can gain more knowledge thru you guys since this was a big leap for me from a Blackberry 9700.
I recently rooted my HTC Sensation and got the s off following the directions provided here on xda. Then installed Revolution HD. No issues with that either. I just followed the directions there also. Did it not work for u?

No, it didn't work for me. My friend told me that the alpharev method used here on the forums wouldn't work because I downloaded the OTA update to 2.3.4 when I first received it out of the box. He told me that only the htc unlock method would work to root my phone but I wouldn't have S-off. My phone is currently rooted right now with no s-off so certain ROMs won't flash or they will butt I'll hey errors in them.
I find that strange. I'm no expert but my Sensation was running stock Android 2.3.4 before I rooted and it reads that s is off. I went to revolutionary.io/ download for Windows filled in the info for the beta key save the zip file and and launch it then enter the beta key. Then just follow the prompts from there. Did u do that?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
Yup, I did exactly that a number of times but it didn't work. That's weird. Maybe someone else on here can help me get full s-off on my sensation. What's your service provider ? Cuz mine is T-Mobile and it came stock 2.3.3 but I did the OTA update and was able to root it but get no s-off
hi,
just to share my experience ... On Asian Starhub
i have updated to 2.3.4 via OTA before i root and s-off, and eventually supercid.
Followed the guide step by step.
The rooting , s-off and supercid process is smooth as butter ( as some dev quoted ).
Flashed Bulletproof 1.4 and now InsertCoin 3.3.0.
Perhaps u can provide more phone details like your current Hboot version and which part of the process you are stuck so that some experienced member can help u out easier.

Same here. 2.3.4 OTA and I am fully rooted with S-Off. Followed the guide step by step. Used Revolutionary.io with no problem. Be sure you enter your beta key in exactly, its case sensative. I'm also on TMOUS.

So it worked ok for the Sensation XE? I'm about to upgrade my phone from the Desire (s-off, root, leedroid hd 3.3.3 data++) and was wondering if the revolutionary route would work (really want the XE!). Had no issues at all with the Desire and would wait to upgrade if there were issues.
Thanks.

Sorry if I'm asking the obvious or if this has already been covered, but did you first go to the HTC dev. site and follow their specific instructions for unlocking the bootloader? If not, do that first, then use Revolutionary to root/s-off, wipe your phone to factory (I always wipe dalvik cache and cache partition, too), then flash whatever ROM and kernel you want.
Let me know if that helps any.

Very cool. Can't wait to upgrade to this phone. Sensation looked great before, but these latest two (LE screen too big for my tastes) are looking amazing!
Ok guys, thanks for the input. I'll be sure to fill you in if I'm havng any difficulties...I'll try it again today.
I'm also on Tmobile 10 plus years. After following the steps and entering the beta key added the Su zip and it kept s off. You are prop missing something in between. Make sure u are entering the right hboot of your phone otherwise the beta key will be incorrect. Did u set up connection to HTC sync when u did it?

Ok guys, I tried getting s-off again tonite. Mind you my phone is already rooted but has s-on. I have a custom ROM flashed on it currently, I ran the revolutionary app and it suddenly closed on me and i also got an unforseen FC on the home screen of the phone. I flashed back to my nandroid backup of my stock rooted ROM and still the same thing. Suggestions? I saw on another post I should try doing this on a different computer. I tried different methods of connecting the phone via usb with mounting it as a drive, charge only, htc sync but to no avail. I did have htc sync running and it did sync up properly.
I tot we should uninstall HTC sync .... Only leave the HTC drivers alone ....
Maybe someone can advise on this ....

Yes, uninstall HTC sync, leave HTC drivers alone.
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
Is there specific drivers I need to install? It doesn't say in the guide.
When u install , then uninstall HTC sync . The HTC sync drivers will be removed but HTC drivers remains . That's the drivers we want to keep. Alternatively , u can just install the HTC drivers. But u got to search for it elsewhere. I think its HTC 3.7.0.01 drivers or something .... ( if I can remember correctly )

Ok, i habe hboot 1.23 and so i cannot flash any new firmware files via hboot or cmd prompt. Unfortunately I also have s-on, what some friends suggested is to try and use RUU files to change the hboot but I ALWAYS get an 'Unknown error:155' on whichever RUU i try (i am SuperCid), and no HTCdev is not a solution! it does not give s-off. Can anybody PLEASE tell me what to do, I am really desperate as I want to switch back to ICS roms as after using them for so long I hate GB roms ( no offence to any chefs). Please anything at all, I've asked this exact same question before but despite getting 200+ views, nobody answered, I'm really desperate!
boot to bootloader and fire up the RUU.exe
That's what I have been doing, from fastboot option in the bootloader.
Does it change to fastboot USB when you plug the phone in ?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
yes it does.
Do you run the ruu as admin?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
Yes I do. I right click and choose run as admin and it asks for rights and I click allow.
Please stop starting so many threads asking for help with the same issue. Your question has been answered more than once and it's well known that you cannot flash any RUU because you are s on with 1.23 h boot. You continue to open threads rephrasing the same question. Currently there is no way for you to achieve s off or change your h boot version. Sorry about your situation, no one can help you because there's no solution.

H'm ok I was just trying the tacoroot method by musaraf because like he said, I have no other option.
Just saw your hboot. Never flash test ruus on a s on device... I guess you understand now why we say that...
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
I just want to know, with the OTA update of ics will revolutionary update to match it? And why can't I run any ics roms that are on 3.12 firmware because k know I am and I flash their unsecured boot.img files.
I don't think we will know until the official release what h boot version is going to come with the update. We will have to wait and see. Best to try to contact the revolutionary team through there site and ask them.

Did it work? Or the only solution to our problem still is waiting for Revolutionary?
No it didn't work.
Can I still root my sensation that I've updated to the latest android version 4.0.3? If so can anyone link me the directions? Thanks in advance guys.
Is your hboot 1.27 if so you may want
To check the stickies in the dev section the first two at the top that will be a good start for you

Downgrade Sensation back to gingerbread
In order to root your sensation, you need to downgrade your Sensation back down to 2.3.5
In order to do this you need the Gingerbread RUU
Google "Sensation TMOUS RUU"
Make sure your sensation is fully charged and connected to your computer, the double click the RUU.
DOING THIS WILL WIPE EVERYTHING OFF OF YOUR SENSATION (except SD)
MAKE SURE YOUR CONTACTS, TEXTS ETC ... ARE BACKED UP BEFORE PROCEEDING!
DO NOT DISSCONNECT YOUR SENSATION UNTIL THE OPERATION IS COMPLETE! OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!
IF it fails try the RUU again, or download a newer version of the GINGERBREAD RUU

Yes, it's possible, the downgrade to GB is not need, but you needs to be prepared for "wire trick" during S-OFF procedure.
