How to find the right Stock ROM to HTC Sensation

Hi.
As the topic says - I'm currently running the Revolution HD ROM. But I would like to go back to stock - cause I'd maybe like to sell it soon (If I don't get better batteritime!!!). My phone can't last a day at work !
So - I've found the Pyramid ROM list - But how do I find one that fits a HTC Sensation (Denmark)???
Any help would be appreciated

Do a search for "htc sensation ruu" in google and you will see the diffrent RUU you can flash. I can't post links yet.

GREAT! Found some - but can i somehow assure that 1 actually fits my model?
The "shipped" ones - are they made by HTC. Will I still have the oppotunity to update when ICS i coming?

How to check my Stock Rom Version
I have the same question, my unit is HTC Sensation XE Z715E, Made in Taiwan, South East Asian Version, how do I know which stock rom version should I download for this unit from this site?

Will this work with my HTC Sensation XE Z715E? Is this the original stock rom for XE with beats audio ?
RUU_Pyramid_hTC_Asia_TW_1.35.709.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198188_signed
I've been seeing some asian version with WWE, and some with LE, what kind of edition are those two?

So far so good! I've downloaded the RUU - but I keep getting USB connection error when trying to flash .exe file! I've triede several times - and without antivirus and firewall activated - still same error!
Any clues?

FOUND OUT! Done in FASTBOOT mode - No problems discovered there
Back on stock ROM - Lets see how long the battery lasts here
Any ideas of the best custom ROM regarding battery time?

Hi micjensen,
U wer able to unroot your sensation and restore to stock rom? Maybe you could teach me how? What procedure did u use?

I was on Mike's Revolution HD.
So I found the latest stock RUU - RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.12.401.2.
Gave som trouble trying to install the .exe file through Windows - så I started in Fastboot mode, then executed the .exe file, and there it was
Stock Ice Cream Sandwich!.......... BUT S-ON, and revolutionary cant remove the HBOOT 1.23!!!

Did you do Super CID before flashing the said stock rom? or no more?
So you just Plug HTC Sensation to the PC via usb cable in charging mode right? then double click the RUU.exe File, run through windows?
Stock means original rom shipped by htc right? I'm just wonderin where u got stock Ice cream Sandwich, From what I read it hasnt been officially released by htc yet right? For sensation

No SuperCID before.
I couldn't make it work with the phone in charging mode. So I had to do it in FASTBOOT mode.
This is the full filename:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.12.401.2_Radio_11.65.3504.00U_11.19.3504.29_2_test_233440
I think its maybe a testleak. What ROM do you use now?

currently using android revolution hd 3.6.9 , planning to return to stock rom once I fully understand the procedure...

GREAT ROM!
Actually I'm a little disappointed regarding this stock RUU. The Revolution ROM was much more smooth.
Yesterday I tried to go for the Revolution 6.0.2 ROM - but I cant! In the fast boot option the phone fails when pressing "Recovery" (you know, where to press "install from SD card")......

Getting ready to upgrade my Sensation to ICS

Hey whats up everyone? I know there are threads about this but i feel mine is specific.

2. Which ics roms have u tried that run fast/stable/ with working camera/video camera.
3. Would like an ics rom thats either stripped of sense or an AOSP build

1. You dont have to but you may have to edit the Firmware package to add your CID....all details instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
2. I am on ARHD 6.1.1 - its amazingly stable and battery is brill. Only bug effecting me is for now you cannot have apps on SD card as it cause Sense to crash. I moved mine all back to phone and have no issues. No issues at all with camera - effects also works and did not on earlier versions - but I am not a major camera user.

Hi
Gotta say I agree with everything posted in#2 - I have moved to ARHD 6.1.1 and it is smooth as butter
Everything works and it looks amazing - I had thought that Sense 3.5 was good but this latest ICS is much better.
No FC's (other than when I had apps on my SD card)
If this is what the dev's can give us with a 'test' release then the official release (once dev-d) is gonna rock!!

I think confused i am right in saying this. Without super CID you will be fine with custom roms however, if you install an un-lockable bootloader you will not, at this time, be able to downgrade again afterwards. Perhaps somebody with more knowledge would be able to clarify this.
Super CID is very simple to perform if you follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and is easily reversable if you make a note of your original CID if you are worried about your warranty.

Do u guys suggest to just go to 3.12 or 3.24? With 3.12 u need to supercid correct?

See instructions above you dont needs supercid...but no harm by doing - supercid expands your options on ROMs, etc. Basically anything will work.
If you want lastest ICS release with Sense 3.6 you must have 3.24 - else wont work. Also 3.24 not backward compatable to GB or older ICS roms so if you want to go back to earlier Android version you will need to downgrade back to 3.12 or earlier. Not hard just the same as upgradingbut with correct firmware file.

Thanks

Ok so im supercid. Have the 3.24 on root of sd card. Have super wipe script on root of sd card. Have virtuous rom on root of sd card.
Now when i go to run the super wipe it says. Install aborted. System already mounted.
My steps so far....
All files on root of sd
Take sd card out boot into bootloader. Highlight recovery. Insert sd card. Get into clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 go to flash super wipe and install aborted. Wtf?

Hi.. Just flashed my first ROM yesterday a complete NOOB but all went well, due to the good advice given in the various thread on this forum...
I'm rooted & supercid.
I also initially had problems with super wipe which i think turned out to be a non sensation version.
Not sure if its possible to tell but search the forum for a known sensation version.

Yea thanks man. Doing that now

Virtuous quattro is very nice. Glad i updated to ics.
Sent from my Virtuous Quattro A3 ICS HTC Sensation

Try out Virtuous Inquisition or Virtuous Quattro if you want Senseless ROMS. They are lso for the most part AOSP. I run them both and they are really fast. I also like the 1.5 GHz kernel. Really comes down to personal preference. People really like InsertCoin and ARHD, but they are not as fast as VIQ or VI, in my experience with them. I would also highly recommend CID, why not it is easy and everything will work.

Done all the above. Check sig

If you are trying to install an ICS ROM, you need to update your firmware also, or you won't get past the beats screen.

i had the same problem and the above post is correct u must flash new firware before installing the rom otherwise it will hang on logo.
download latest firmware flash that first then install rom , i would also maybe use s wipe also after installing the firmware to give a nice fresh rom install.

I know I need to update my firmware first, but if I do that, I'm in a bootloop. That's even worse.

So, I've just installed this RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408961 with android 4.0.3 and HTC Sense 3.6. Where can I see my firmware now?

Settings then scroll to about phone its the very bottom option its in there software version and also hardware choose either one to see all info about phone.

Hi!
I came from ARHD 4.1.10. I installed the new firmware, you can pull the battery out after installation finishes or even when it boot loops. Then remove sd card, use a card reader to manually remove the img file. Put it back, Then boot to recovery, superwipe, flash new rom
Be careful using an old ARHD version, make sure to update your 4ext touch recovery to latest version afterwards

[Q] arhd 4.1.13

Well yeah, i wanted to go back to what arhd is ( pretty much default sensation) but with tweaks to make it better. I flashed arhd 4.1.13 fully, said no to the t-mobile us, said yes to 1.5ghz and not 1.7ghz, yes to sony bravia support and yes to o/c daemon. But when i pressed reboot it just stayed at the htc screen for 40 minutes and so i tried to flash it again with full battery and it did the same. Any options????

I think you probobly have the wrong firmware. Where you using ICS before? If so just flash a stock ruu or an old hboot to be able to flash GB ROMS

[Q] Downgrade HTC Desire S from ICS 4.0.4 Sense 3.6 to GB 2.3.5 Sense 2.1

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
