[Q] XE No check for updates? - HTC Sensation

Hello everyone.
So a while ago I bought my HTC Sensation XE from a local store here in Israel.
I decided to check if there are any updates available for my phone today... But it doesn't have this button?
I read in the official site that there should actually be a "check for updates" option in Settings > About phone > Software updates > Check now. But I don't have it?
I also think that my phone is rooted and I have a custom ROM but I don't know if this is true.
If it is true, is there a way to reset it to a state where it won't be rooted and will have the stock ROM? I know there is some way with a RUU but I don't want to risk it with the wrong one, so if this is the way could you please direct me to the right RUU and instructions?
If you need more info I would be happy to provide it but I don't know what to provide and where is it so if you would be kind enough to direct me to the info you need so I can provide it, it will be great.
If this isn't the case, then why don't I have this button? How will I update my phone?
Thanks!

RUU's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
I believe you need Windows to flash the RUU, not sure about the exact steps though since I've never used it.
To check if your phone is rooted see if you have the Superuser app and that it works i.e. you can open apps like Titanium Backup without getting errors.

On custom ROM's the Over The Air updates wont work so we (ROM chefs/devs) remove it from the settings menu

Will I be able to update to ice cream sandwitch when the official update comes out if I leave my phone like this? As there is no update button...
If not, how do I know exactly which RUU do I need? And can you direct me to the instruction of how to do it?

Need help :How to flash sensation

Hi all I got my sensation 3 days before ..and I am very much happy.
1st time I am using HTC handsets can any one tell me how to flash and update sensation if we get any updates.bcoz for Sony I was using SUS. But don't know for HTC . and what pc suite HTC use ? And how to get it

Updates come OTA (Over The Air) - you'll get an alert on the phone so you can download it
Or, you can use an RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) but using one of these will completely wipe the phone so you'll have to set it up again from scratch
Updates are specific to your vendor code so just cause one user gets an upgrade you might not. For example, I have a Vodafone UK Sensation so I can only get updates for my vendor code (x.xx.161.x). An update for someone with an unbranded handset (vendor code x.xx.401.x) would not be applied to my phone

His right..update for someone with unbranded handset need to be root first, which we cant at the moment due to lock bootloader by HTC

Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App
If the phone crashes and you need to reload the ROM then you need to use an RUU, depending if it's available. Finding the RUU for your phone is always recommended as it's backup in case the worst happens. I have mine (thanks to baadnewz). If you have a Sensation, go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the software version and we can take a look
For reference, HTC's PC software is called 'HTC Sync' and you can get it from their website (or the SD card that comes with the phone)
EDDY thank you so much for your help...I am 1st time using HTC so asking lots of questions ..thanks again

Correct, an OTA update doesn't lose any data - it just updates the device

[Q] Root with S-OFF

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?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
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.

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 ....

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 )

Noob on Sensation Xe needs help to root

As I received my brand nu Xe yesterday, I'm now on rooting it to delete unwanted apps.
I'm comming from Leo with Nand roms, where flashing was easier as rooting Android devices to me
Tried different threads, found different unanswerd questions about rooting, Hroot, S-off and stuff but to be honest, I have no clue how to do it with the XE.
I had the MAGDLR on it so flashing was like playing with toys, but now,....can't go on.
The stock rom which is on board on my TMO_DE XE is okay for me, no nned to flash another rom, but all I wanna do is to get rid of all unwanted sys app I never us.
Can anyone give me a helping hand on this?
thx in advance
P
Look on YouTube, theirs loads of videos on how to get s-off and rooting. Being the sensation XE doesn't make it any different from the original sensation just XE processors clock limit is 1.5ghz so follow guides for either

Hi there,
I just went to revolution website and followed the instructions in this topic: -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I had no issues (I didnt super-cid or whatever its called). May I also recommend you look at InsertCoin ROM V3.4.4, it is fast and causes no issues. if you want 2.3.4 Sensation XE ROM, Virtuous v2.2 is great.....I'm stuck deciding which of these two to use as my daily
Good luck
LoL,
I successfully S-Offed my Xe now and downloaded the rom manager.
so, do I still need to run busybox or something?

you don't need busy box. If you are already S off and have clock work installed. You are good to go. Get you a ROM, transfer to sd, enter recovery, and flash away.

CMR says that its NOT rooted, but I did with that revolutionary tool and it also downloaded CMR, but I can't find it
You need to flash a recovery through fastboot, then flash superuser through recovery. (or just flash a new rom) to get root

Be careful though because some apps may rely on the apps your about to delete, to function so be careful dude

If you got the custom recovery, and you are rooted, then download an app (this one),that way you can lock those apps that you don't need, so you can save some RAM, and battery.
If you're worried you're doing it wrong you might be
check out the guide in my sig. Very simplified and noobproof.
Thank you guys,

unfortunately, it is probably best if you ask the question in that forum though, as your question is not about sensation XL (which this forum is for) and the forum that was linked above is for SENSATION and SENSATION XE.
unfortunately in my case HTC Super tool v3 and revolutionary are not working. I am not able to S-off my HTC Sensatio XE (with beats audio) 2.3.4. I dont know what is wrong.
Is it possible that since i have downloaded the update HTC Super tool v3 is not working? also revolutionary is giving error and failed to root. Can you please help

Updating Issue with the Sensation XE

(I am sorry, I miss-seen the question checkbox, I hope a moderator can solve this for me, thanks for understanding!)
Hello,
This is my first topic on xda-developers, so I'm willing to do my outerst best to make this as understandable as possible!
After four search results, I could not really find anything similar with a related answer so I'm making a topic about this.
I got the HTC Sensation XE, Android version: 2.3.4, with HTC Sense 3.0.
Now after rooting it using revolutionary, and enjoying my phone for the weeks after I noted that I got the abillity to do an update.
This update is a 8.97MB performance update, and I would love to install that!
Now here is the issue,
When trying to update, it downloads the update, it shuts down the phone and as soon as it starts installing I get the android boot error.
The phone starts up fine again, but the update is not installed.
I already tried to restore my phone to the state it was BEFORE I rooted it, but that still gave me the same result. I also tried to reset to factory settings, wich also did not work.
Does anyone have a clue where to proceed further?
Thanks in advance,
Tobie
I'm not too sure but when I used to have a Desire I had the exact sane issue, and it's actually down to the CID (Customer I.D)
If you do a few searches you should be able to find out how to get back to a stock CID. You cannot install OTA updates from HTC on rooted and custom Rom phones.
Restore your CID to HTC_0001 (I think) and it should work, can't remember though so Google about.

Sensation does not update from GB with OTA

Hi !
Just bought this used Sensation XE with Gingerbread 2.3.4 and when I downloaded update to 4.0 from Software Update I am unable to install cause during installation the phone switches off and reboots to a screen with a Triangle and an Exclamation sign and a small cartoon android next to it.
After waiting for nearly 10 minutes I took out the battery and booted again and now it is running GB once again normally.
I am afraid I might damage my phone if I do again and so may have to go to HTC service center in Bangkok once again. ( I live in Bangkok )
But any advices please ? ( I downloaded once again and checked to see if I had downloaded the entire file the first time but it is the same )
Afraid I am a noob with HTC. I had a Samsung Galaxy S and I had rooted it and must have installed more then 10 ICS on it but with HTC it is not the same and more complicated though I LOVe the Sense compared to Touchwiz now !
Please help !
Thanks !
Is the phone rooted now?
It seems you got rooted rom.. Normally for the ota update to happen three conditions has to be met..
1.cid match (which is matching in your case bother wise you won't even get the update)
2.stock recovery
3.non rooted stock rom
Check whether these conditions are being met or not..

Yes...I just discovered its rooted. ( being used had no idea )
Since It's not easy like Samsung to unroot, pls advice me what I should do ?
1. Can u advice me to unroot and HOW ? ( the instructions on web is very confusing )
2. Since It's rooted can I install custom Rom but which case do I loose the radio ?
3. To install official ics it says open Bootloader. How do I find if my Bootloader is open or not ?
4. On the white screen it says Locked on top. Does it pertains to S Off ? Do I need to open that too ? And how ?
My sincere aplogies for so many questions but I know almost nothing about HTC.

1.download supersu app ..there inside settings ..there is option to do permanent unroot
2.to decide you can install custom root or not ..you need to post the complete details of the bootloader ..(bootloader is the place where you went in point #4)
3.you did opened the bootloader in point #4
4.ignore the locked part ..post the next line something like "PYRAMID PVT SOFF/SON RL " (if SOFF lucky ..you are eligible to install custom roms ) and probably you are SOFF as you are rooted (unless you are SOFF or have "UNLOCKED" bootloader you cant have root ..but you have LOCKED and root ..so you are most probably soff)
confirm these ..and ill give you the proper guide based on the answers
Hi my friend,
Today unrooted my phone and installed gb stock ROM 2.3.4 in order to have company update ( or i update via ota ) but...made a stupid mistake.
I have copied and pasted my inquiry in a new thread . It's as follows :
I unrooted the sensation xe today. No experience with HTC whatsoever. By mistake installed RUU Gingerbread 2.3.4... but of Sensation instead of Sensation xe.
Now have all specs showing of Sensation like 1.2 GHZ and no Beats Audio, etc.
My question is this :
I have downloaded now ICS update RUU file ( the correct one for sensation xe ) but it says that my phone Must Be a Sensation XE and nothing else.
But after this installation of Sensation RUU , isn't my phone just Sensation now or I still can update with power off into bootloader from this ICS RUU since in reality it is a Sensation xe ?
Or do I need to install sensation xe gb first to upgrade ?
Please advice. I don't want to plug in my usb and install wrongly.
Any way out please ?
Thanks in advance.

first flash the gb sensation xe ruu ..then only on the top of that apply the sensation xe ICS OTA
but first if you got OTA (over the air update) not RUU ..then do as above
if you got ICS sensation xe RUU ..then you can ignore the current condition of the phone and can happly apply ICS xe RUU (small hint XE RUU will have _LE_ in their name)
but seeing that you were able to apply sensation RUU on sensation XE i think you are SOFF ..which makes solving problems easy
Thanks ! But during unroot , s-off is on so cannot update from RUU . The software shows a phone on left side but now it only shows an outline of phone. And does not update.
So now I have sensation xe running gb 2.3.4 with regular sensation software instead.
It's unrooted and bootloader locked and s-off on.
Pls help !

I didnt get you
now you have sensation xe ..and are you getting update on it ?
if so are you able to download it ?
can you post your cid and the ruu name you used for your sensation xe ?
I am unable to provide u with RUU details cause in the office now but its like this :
In the beginning I had bought this second hand sensation xe but rooted and with GB 2.3.4 which I wanted to update to 4.0
Company refused cause it was rooted which i did not realize at that time.
So, searched the net and found how to unroot which made me think that after this I will give it to company HTC to update official version.
Little did I think that on unroot my phone will then loose Beats Audio and in all respects become the first Sensation !
So now It's unrooted, s-on , locked like out of the box except with wrong software ! And I don't know if anything can be done about it !
Yes, after unroot i had downloaded Software Update from Settings and it showed me the downloaded file in a long list which then I Extracted by pressing the Menu key.
After extraction I installed by touching the file and the phone went into long reboot and back....to the same.
Hope this helps though I will send u RUU description today evening ( I am in Thailand )
Kind regards.

i dont believe it has made the phone s-on. not possible by simply fashing a ruu. please fully turn off the phone, hold down volume down + power. when bootloader boots copy everything onto a post here please.
yes post the bootloader deails as heavy_metal_man said .. but after power off remove battery ,reinsert it then do the rest as he said
Sorry. I did not explain properly.
After flashing RUU I had to go into Command prompt and type 3 commands. Can't remember now. Too complicated. This was to restore my s on from off.

That was the BIG mistake you did ..turning SON after SOFF (fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 command right ?) is not required at all ..unless you want to return the phone for warranty purposes..as SOFF wont hurt you anytime ..when you stay on stock (also fyi the unroot process doesnt include turning SON)
now post the complete output of this following command excluding IMEI..with phone connected from fastboot to pc (the same way you did SON using the three commands )
fastboot getvar all
Thanks
Though I do not understand this completely i will go home tonight and do my best to comply.

yes you can absolutely but dont update to ICS via RUU or OTA if you want to root and install custom roms the easy way
Please, pls, can u in that case provide me links to root and recommend a stable custom ROM ?
How to instructions would be great.
I am a noob of the highest caliber when it comes to HTC.
Tried to find links to root for my phone but afraid I might mess up again.
I trust your judgement and u have been so quick on yr replies that It's so impressive and I thank u for your kind help !
Best regards
