Rooted no system update?

So I have a rooted sensation...no ROM. HOWEVER I just got a system update pushed to my phone from HTC and everytime it starts to install it freezes with the little green guy and a exclamation point in a triangle. You can still get haptic feedback on the touch keys but the only way to clear the screen is to remove the battery. Any advice?

Is CWM installed? that can be the issue. if so flash stock recovery (at your own risk)

Could also be a failed signature check. I know around this time last year (maybe November) the Desire got an update like this, however if you were rooted it would not pass the signature check for some reason. Also if you were unbranded on an originally branded device and NOT rooted it would also cause this problem. I remember being able to fix the problem, I just can't remember how

It won't install until you go back to stock recovery. There is a thread somewhere in the sensation forums that tells you how. You will have to search though cause I can't remember where but I remember reading it.

The only problem that I've ever had with HTC phones, is restoring them.

Did either of you figure out the fix, or did you give up? I'm in the same position and would like to know how to do this. Please provide any links that you can. Thanks.

from what i read you have to flash stock recovery the instructions for this can be found in android development

I solved ny fully flashing a stock rom
I had same issue , so I used an rru that I have from the stock rru thread in android develpment, and then I can accept the over the air updates and have it to work, but it is very annoying way to go.
The problem that the HTC official updates need the htc own recovery and not the one we burn to have the abilty to install su and root.
So after u install a stock rom and have it updated u will have to root probably at least to clear the battery stats,,, this will make u loose abilty to accept updates again ??!!
I wish if someone can tell us an easier solution

[Q] anybody got android 4.01 roms?

Hello. I'm semi-bricked so I cannot use android 4.03 roms. They just don't work for me. I loved arhd 5.01 because I thought it would be awful but it isn't. It has epic speech recognition problems though, it just says unfortunately voice search has stopped. It says this for each of the voice needed applications. Does anybody have any other 4.01 roms? Preferably sense but I don't mind

You could try hypernonsense, so smooth, fast and stable.

Is it android 4.01 or gingerbread

Please stop flashing your phone until you know what you are doing. I would think after all of the trouble you had previously after flashing firmware being stuck with s on and your phone being in an unusable state you would have stopped messing with it.
Go back to stock and leave it alone. You are eventually gonna brick it. You need to do a lot of reading so you are not asking for help all day, everyday.

It's an ICS rom (4.03). Full wipe is needed.

You know what you are doing, this user clearly doesn't. I am not being an ass, I flash my phone also but I read a lot. I read these forums thoroughly before doing anything. It's getting tiresome reading all of the problems people have all because they don't read.

You know, at the beginning I didn't realy know what I did, I'm french and my English isn't perfect... But with time and perseverance, I can say : now I know what I do. I think persons in trouble must insist.. Some people can help them and I'm OK with you, they must read before do something.

Well im sorry but i dont want to start any arguements. I know exactly what i'm doing and why i am doing it. Android 4.01 roms are the only ones that work for me, yes i did make a fatal mistake but after much reading ( yes i did) i know what's happening
I'm furthermore 'sorry' if i have angered you experienced users but i have not really asked for help with my phone for a while now and i dont intend to. I wasn't posting this to be annoying, I just needed help finding android 4.01 roms and incase anybody else needed them.

Yes I flashed it. I think you should :
1. Flash 3.32 fw
2. Wipe data/ factory reset
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Wipe davlink cache
5.Flash virtuous 4.0.0
6. Reboot
Then if it work you can flash addons, kernels

Htc Sensation Boot Loop

Hello people of XDA, I know you must be thinking ''Geez, not again'' but I have spent a lot of time reading other threads full of bootloops but have not yet found an awnser to my problem.
I have just S-Off'd, Rooted, Clockworked, SuperCID my Htc Sensation this evening. And I tried getting ICS to work, but as stated in the title it didn't work for me!
I downloaded ''Firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU'' from the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
After trying to run that I have gotten stuck in the boot loop. I can still acces HBOOT and all, but cannot see my device on the computer. Also when I try to go in to HBOOT my phone automatically starts 'updating'
I hope someone is willing to guide me trough this
Thanks,
Wapstra

Seems like we are in a similar situation. My phone is bootlooping aswell and I think my situation was even worse.

Hi,
Please read THIS GUIDE
It is a complete guide to installing ICS.

You have the wrong kernel... Download the newest one... 3.32
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4g with Beats Audio

Thanks malybru. I'll look into that guide today ! And I'll let you know if it worked!

Thank you very much! It worked!

I don't like boot loops.

Could also be a cause that the rom isnt compatible with the firmware or vice versa
Sent from revolutionized HTC Sensation ICS

As ypu say the when you get into bootloader it starts updating....that means you need to do this:
Delete the PGxxxx(firmware) file from SD card, go into Hboot/bootloader and then to recovery...flash the rom....
Hope it helps.

[q] htc sensation xe - rom problem

Hi guys, i've looked everywhere for the similar posts & i can't seem to find one!
Please bare in mind this is just a general interest as i no longer have the phone!
Sorry in advance if there is one!
Right, a few months ago i had my HTC sensation XE (with beats audio)...
Orginally came with Gingerbread and i updated to ICS successfully.
A few weeks passed and i decided to read up on rooting my sensation.
I went through the process of rooting and flashing recovery etc and that went through all fine, then i became interessted in ROMS.
I created a nandroid back-up in CWM recovery just incase anything went terribly wrong - which it did - the phone got stuck on HTC start up screen... wouldn't move from there. I kept restarting to see if it'd be nice and start up but it never did. So i panicked i started trying to run RUU's, flash my nandroid back up.. all of which were successful, but still stuck on the htc screen?
Any ideas what i done wrong?
I'm getting a HTC One X today and i'm considering rooting, i really don't want the same thing happening again!
All ideas i'd be happy to read!
Thanks!

Did you use the correct firmware for the rom? Ics takes 3.32 firmware. If you don't flash the correct firmware it will cause big problems.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

Good question, that could be why- i literally tried so many rom's and ruu's and tricks to try and get it past the htc screen.
Do you think it's worth me Rooting my HTC ONE x?
Thanks for the reply x

When you do that you should update your firmware but sense you didn't it caused a boot loop and when you try to go to your nand back up you lost your boot.IMG thats why it won't boot extract from the zip file and place it in the same folder that contains your adb driver and fastboot and typ your commands to get your fastboot driver working and then typ fastboot flash boot boot.img when thats done typ fastboot reboot and watch the magic and you must have a copy of the zip on your pc or laptop meaning the Rom you made nand back up of

Best to ask that in the One X forum IMO as they can comment on the custom ROM's better of course.
I'd say depends if you're happy with the stock ROM. If you are and don't need the root features then leave it.
Otherwise go for it.

Its always worth the root...I've tested the one x on the stock rom and it ran buttery smooth....I believe it can only get better with a custom rom.

[Q] Wifi problems even though S-off and root

hi, i have Ruu to stock 2 times, and i still get wifi error whenever i flash new roms like ARHD. My hboot is 1.27.100 firmware is 3.33 and everything that this rom needs. im tired of this wifi problem :'( should i just stay with Stock GB rom?

no one?.... i guess im just going to die with this no wifi phone :'crying::crying::crying:

Hi have you tried wifix app? You can get it here on xda. It's worth a try. Best wishes!
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium

Dont worry. There are people with this problem even me. Have tried GB RUU and ICS RUU but no luck. wifix doesnt work. Its been 4 months without wifi. Feel like throwing this phone off a bridge

Guys there is a hardware fix if you're sure it's not software. I think me and one other person tried it but we both had success. Check my comment history to find the thread. Let me know if I can be of assistance. Good luck!
