1. how to back-up my HTC Sensation XE Ori firmware??
2. When i upgrade my firmware to 3.24.401, can i downgrade to ori firmware??
i really nid ur help, cos my last phone hv some prob now.
i send to service center, they say i flash ROM, void warranty ald.
i don't think you can backup it...but you can flash an older ruu to turn back to original
why did you send it without turn back to s-on??? you always have to turn it s-on when you have to send it to HTC!

u mean, when i s-on back, HTC can check i hv flash b4??
You can't really back it up. Just download an older firmware found on the forums!
What he means is When you give it to HTC, They will check whether the phone is S-Off or S-On. They only accept S-ON Phones i think.
Good luck!

if you are s-on and unrooted htc can't know if you have flashed roms...but if you are s-off and rooted it is obvious that you have flashed

So I am as excited as everyone else about s-off. Been waiting for awhile, but in the haste of everyone rooting their phone, I haven't been able to find a thread about restoring s-on in case of warranty work. Have I over looked something?
lots of views but no comments. This is from the IRC if interested
<splayer7> sorry if this has been asked, but what about resuming s-on for warranty work?
<hyuh> splayer7: no, not available

Exactly what has been said. There is no unrooting or S-On restoring at this time. I would just wait if you haven't already. HTC Released their source codes today. Its only a matter of time before an easier root is available with unroot, and S-on.
Was told that we could s-on by running the RUU. Here's a link to some I've found but haven't tested any of this. http://droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/06/htc-sensation-ruushipped-roms-packaged.html

do we have any confirmation on this working correctly
Tried it, resets your ROM but doesn't reset s-off
Guys.. There is about a 25% chance at best that HTC will actually check the boot loader status before providing warranty service. Even if you are unlucky and they do, if you make enough noise they might make an exception and let you off the hook. I think that as long as the issue that you are trying to resolve isn't a direct result of s-off or root, it should be fine.

Flash an official RUU, and the device will be S-ON! TESTED!

Are you sure man? Somebody else above tested and found the opposite..
If the ruu is left untampered with, the boot image will be replaced with a stock one. Boot image is where your s-off lives. So in theory it should without a doubt work. You just have to make sure the boot image is in the ruu

I used the rom.zip file included in an untouched RUU, and I checked it includes HBOOT, also saw version change when I went into HBOOT.
It does NOT reset S-OFF back to S-ON.
I dont know if when you flash it reads S-OFF so keeps it, for users who genuinely had S-OFF?
I have personally tested this, and can confirm that using HTC's stock RUU does not return the phone to S-ON. However, it did remove the top area that says revolutionary, so now it appears as though I have a factory S-OFF device
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
bummer.. I really hope there is a way to reverse s-off, just in case. but then again, I do have insurance so I guess I could say it was 'stolen' if I really need to get it replaced

For those worrying about warranty issues..
You can try flashing the correct RUU for your phone.
IF that doesn't get rid of -revolutionary- s-off, then you can flash the ENG HBOOT (which gets rid of -revolutionary- but gives you ENG S-OFF) then you can flash the correct RUU for your region (which will definitely get rid of ENG S-OFF, and make you official stock HBOOT S-ON)

Try flashing ENG HBOOT, then the RUU afterwards.
I am going to try to get my phone back to S-ON now, just to test everything
EDIT
Hmm, very odd indeed, after flashing the RUU I have 'stock' Radio S-OFF (no -Revolutionary-) , I tried fastboot oem write secuflag 1 and fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 but I am still Radio S-OFF.
Just so people know, flashing full RUUs, even HBOOTs do NOT get rid of Radio S-OFF. Thats why it is favored by people, it can only be turned S-ON specifically by tools which may be released for the Sensation in the near future. I thought these tools only sent the commands that I tried to change the Radio security status. It would appear not.
However
There is no need to worry, Radio S-OFF probably won't void your warranty (if you sent it to a HTC repair center), as long as you have the correct CID and ROM installed you should be fine.
If I remember correctly, with the past Android phones, some people randomly got S-OFF (like sensation users did) out of the box. The HTC repair center didn't care. They don't like custom ROMs, custom HBOOTs, rooted ROMs, etc
Hi folks,
I've got a T-Mobile branded Sensation, no idea how long they will take to get the 2.3.4 update out, probably months.
I want to S-OFF, Super CID etc and flash something else or just use a Euro RUU.
Problem is, for warranty purposes, I need to back up my current rom or obtain the T-Mobile RUU.
Is there anyway I can dump this rom first?
I've checked the big list of roms for the Sensation, lots of US ones there but nothing for T-Mobile Uk.
Thanks
Backup stock ROM:
1. S-OFF
2. Install CWM
3. Backup with CWM
Job Done!
Restore stock ROM:
1. Restore backup
2. Flash stock recovery
3. Flash stock HBOOT
4. Run S-ON command via adb
Obviously the ROM you restore will have all your personal data so a hard reset after making sure it boots up would be wise to go back to a 100% 'out the box' state

Thanks dude.
If this is the real deal, legit one, then we're onto a winner.
I got a "communications were interrupted" error when using Revolutionary.
Rebooted with vol down, it's showing me as SHIP S-OFF
Ok to assume that it's all ok anyway?
I had this too, run it 3 times and eventually it will say it's done. I did report this on their feedback on the website as well
When I boot up with vol down, it is showing Revolutionary at the top and S-OFF.
Copied the PG58IMG 4.0.1.4 updated over, went into HBoot and it flashed.
Reboot, deleted the PG58IMG off the SD card.
Reboot, back into the bootloader screen and it's allowed me to run clockwork, so now done a full back up which has just finished.
All I want to do next is install the stock European 2.3.4 rom (RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2), so I assume the next step is to change CID?
Thing is, I want to be able to use future OTA updates with this rom. Am I right in saying that whatever ID I set it to is what updates I will get?
Cheers
Yeah, change CID to HTC__001 and then you're completely unbranded. OTA's should also go through without issue too
Awesome. Job done. CiD change, installed the european rom and i'm now 2.3.4
Bootloader is showing ***locked*** but I aint worried about that.
That's the new HBOOT, you can still use Revolutionary to S-OFF it again if need be (I personally re-flashed the 1.17.0011 HBOOT back as I didn't like the LOCKED message)

I don't understand why it still says S-OFF at the top. lol
Because it does, but it's not technically S-OFF - I tried to flash a different HBOOT and it didn't work until I re-ran Revo
hello guys! i am completely clueless now... ive been wandering around this forum for more than 4 hours. and i just can't find any help.
my situation is as following:
i tried to unroot my desire s to get the warranty back with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1460713
at some point i accidently flashed hboot 2.00.0002. than i was stuck with the ruu update's error: 140..
i have a goldcard but it just wouldn't let me downgrade to this ruu: RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed i am pretty sure that this is the right one...
i got my desire s at an o2 shop here in germany and it comes unbranded.
i tried so many guides, but i can't get out of this misery.
although i was able to get to the recovery (4ext touch), unlocked via htcdev, but unrooted and S-ON.
now my phone boots and gets stock at the ics fallout "htc one" bootscreen.
is there a way to get my desire s to be stock again?
Wierd you can access recovery!!!
Well All I can say is that never try to downgrade from any ics rom to stock ginger bread rom without downgradin your misc version mate.And unfortunately, i think you have to wait for official stock ICS rom.

Actually I myself encountered this problem using exactly the same guide but somehow i was able to find the higher RUU which did the trick for me. Try to find some higher RUU.
Otherwise go for jtag or xtc clip if u can't wait..
BTW update is just around the corner if you dont want to apply hardware methods

that's great news! hope is rising
hardware fixes are no option for me, yet. the hole point is to get my phone replaced, so i don't want to eff around too much.
you probably don't know the ruu file anymore, do you?
thanks again.

Dats nice to hear it
Having unlocked the bootloader and having a functional custom recovery, all you had to do was to run misc_version script from recovery, reboot to bootloader, lock it and proceed with RUU flash. Nothing more.
Got your same problem. I was stuck at the bootloader because I had my desire s unlocked with HTCdev.com. Relocked it and flashed with a previous RUU like 1.47... it worked and then flashed hboot and radio...
u shd hv just unroot n den lock ur bootloader with the token provided when u did htc dev unlock
run d misc ver. changer n zergrush
and den run RUU ...
hey guys.
i have a custom rom on my sensation , it's stil s-on
but it seems i cannot find the right RUU for my sensation. so i can get it back to stock

Now if you made a nandroid backup before you flashed the RUU, when you get it back from teh rpair shop you can just s-off again and reflash your back up and it'll be just like you left it, only less broken.
