ICS testing - HTC Sensation

Hello,
I just got a mail from HTC Elevate saying:
Who here wants an ICE CREAM SANDWICH? We do! Hopefully you do, too. We're happy to announce the first round of software previews in HTC elevate and you are in the first group of folks who will be able to participate!
To get this rolling, we'll need you to tell us some information about your device. Once we have this info, assuming it's all 100% accurate, we'll be able to push ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) straight to you via HTC's software distribution server- like magic!
To get started, head into the ACTIVITY now.
Cheers!
Eric

well i think they will push ics via ota so you have to be s-on and unrooted...so you have to flash a RUU...

Reverted to stock a couple of days ago.
Today I nearly re-rooted to try Mike's new 3.30 base.
Glad I didn't now...though it looks like it may be next week before we get it

Ah ok thanks then, since it's 2am here and i'm really sleepy, can you quickly point me to the right topic on how to revert back please?
I hope it's not going to be a pain in the butt, otherwise ill have to do it 2morrow

run from pc one of these http://www.filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/ with your phone connected

About halfway down the first post are the details for returning to stock.
I followed the guide and it worked perfectly for me

No didn't use that method, just revolution, I'm not in the htcs elevate, just wondering for when released to all, seems tricky getting s-on again

I used revolutionary to s-off the phone.
Don't think Dutch Vodafone has branded phones, atleast not that i know..
Anyway, the update won't be for another few days
@sausje85 Right now we're just collecting data for a few days. No one gets the software for a few days.

Important warning

Do NOT accept the latest 2.3.4 OTA! It will still be S-OFF but it will say locked above, which means you can't flash Custom ROMS/ root/ whatever. Just a warning

Is there a temp-root or root without S-Off?

Is there a way to get temporary (or otherwise) root without doing S-Off?
Just wanted to make absolutely sure I wasn't missing something (Or if there was a method posted somewhere outside of XDA)

It looks like this is no longer possible with the OTA update? Tried it and it didn't work.
Has anyone been able to temp-root after taking the T-Mobile OTA update?
Is there another method, perhaps off XDA, that works?
Anyone?
No, pretty much all died once S-OFF was about. So long as you have the stock RUU that your phone is on at present (or nearest you can get) you can revert to stock at any time

Same problem
Having same problem. Updated to 1.45 T-Mobile OTA and now fre3vo exploit fails.
Desperately needing temp root to backup current stock ROM since seems like no T-Mobile European stock ROM (in my case Czech) is available for download
If anyone is aware of T-Mobile EU(CZ would be the best) RUU existence/download link I would really appreciate and will move into revolutionary.io way instead of looking for temp root.

[FIX] For Sensation 4G and Sensation XE German Sensors/TMobile

Some users are reporting on theyr Sensation 4G or the German T-Mobile Version of the Sensation XE that the sensors are not working so I want to tell you how to fix that.
1. You have to Super CID your Sensation 4G/XE
2. Flash this for (T-Mobile only):

I have been trying to fix this for weeks since I got the phone....
I installed 1.17, and that did nothing but put me into a complete bootloop.
I put the modified version here that was posted Tessut, fixed permissions in 4EXT and booted into my ROM (Energy 3-15.12), and same ****...no sensors.
I have even installed the RUU for ICS from HTC (EU version only as there is no ICS RUU for TMOUS yet)...and then I installed my custom ROM and same issue.
I have tried the Stock Kernel and the Bricked Kernel (Bricked-3.0-v1.1-ics), and no success.
I AM SuperCID'd: 11111111
I am also noticing that I am not the only one with this problem with any fixes applied also. The hardware is functional, I have tested the chipsets individually and they are on and working, just no readings (events).
At this point I am ready to pay someone money if they come up with a successful fix. If you have a PayPal account I am more than willing to contribute a fair price if I can get this **** working!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have lost all hope on this :-(

@Tessut: I am guessing that this is the only solution we have now.....perhaps when the ICS release is finally made it will solve our problems.
Otherwise I have a phone here that is VERY frustrating to use with no sensors....
