[Q] install New RUU

Good day
I got my new sensation 2 days ago i need to install new RUU on the device but i don't know where to start and what to do
plz i need help thxx

You can't flash an RUU that's different from you original version. It's been covered SO many times before it's not funny.
What RUU are you trying to flash and what ROM is currently on your phone?

im trying to install "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_ARA_1.34.415.1"
and idon't know what is the current RUU on my device
my problem is :
i want to add arabic support to my device , when i run the RUU it can't discover the device, my device is connects and set to USB disk drive

You can't do it. To find the version on your handset go to Settings>About phone>Software information
And it shouldn't be connected in Disk Drive mode to run an RUU - you set it to HTC Sync (and you need HTC Sync installed on your PC)

Android Version 2.3.3
Software number 1.35.720.1
Kernal 2.6.35.10-g9cef70d
and if i can't how can i install arabic support on device??

You can't, simple as that. You need to wait until we have root access to flash a new ROM which has Arabic support built into it. Might be weeks yet

as mentioned above, you just can't at the moment, for arabic webpages however you can download Firefox which renders arabic websites without a problem, I know that doesn't solve all the problems though, the facebook app for instance can't ready arabic unless it's supported natively by the rom, don't worry though, once HTC releases its S-off update all will be fine.

So it also won't be possible to flash the "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.900 7.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed"
to a 1.34.206.1 (Europe) device, right? =(
or is there a possibility to do this?
Would be really nice to get that unbranded version to my phone cause I really dislike waiting weeks or longer for a new branded version every time a new software version is released.. :/

That's correct, you can't debrand until we have full root access

Not what I've wanted to read but thanks for the answer :')
I hope that will change soon

Your thread in general isn't helpful to the guy dragging up an 8 month old thread. To answer the question you need to s-off, set super cid and then flash the RUU you wish to use

eddy thanks i am s off and supercid .when i run ruu says current image version 1.73.401.2 update to1.45.468.2 so i enter update than it says error 155 get correct ruu well im in turkey this is turkish ruu so i have the right ruu where am i doing wrong?

where can I find the stock ROM

I am looking for the stock ROM so I can do a warranty return. I am looking for the zip NOT the ruu. I heard you can get the rom out of the RUU but i don't know how. thanks

I hope someone answers because I have the same problem. I think my phone is going to have to be returned because the touch screen is getting very flaky and does not always respond like it should.

Same here also, wanted to go back to out of the box stock after rooting and s off and flashing arhd Rom. Theres so many threads and so many steps on each thread and so confusing to follow for a noob like me. Hope somebody can shed some light here
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

I realized that I had made a nandroid backup before I started all the S-off, rooting, and ROM changing so I just did a restore and I'm back to 100% stock. Funny thing is my screen quit acting up and is back to normal.

There's a pinned thread in the development section that will do just that. It says FAQ on it. It's written so a middle schooler can understand.

To get back to stock, you need to use an RUU. You can't flash a zip in recovery, because ytou need to remove recovery to be stock, and the only way to remove the revx stuff is flashing a stock ROM.

To be able to point you into the specific direction you need to provide some additional information, especially like:
- country
- branding/provider
In general you can find all available stock RUU here:

I would strongly recomment you to read, re-read and search (google or XDA) if you have questions.
Anyway the starting place is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
o S-OFF allows you to install stuff that you need by bypassing phone security.
o Recovery (e.g. ClockworkMod a.k.a CWM) allows you to install ROMs. It also allows you to do a complete (well almost) phone backup and recovery of the phone. So it's easy to get back to a prior version, Nandroid backup/recovery.
o SU gives you admin rights on the phone.
o SuperCID alows you to install any county's /carrier's ROM. e.g. debrand the phone from the shipped ROM.
There are a myriad of ROMs in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1112
Have a look at the number of replies / number of times they've been viewed to get some idea about the popularity.
You'll need to make a couple of decisions:
1: AOSP or Sense based ROMs. The stock one is Sense, pure Google Android is AOSP, they each have a different look and feel.
2: GB (Gingerbread) or ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich). ICS is the latest BUT BUT BUT needs additional steps to be performed to update the phone's firmware. I WOULD strongly suggest starting out with a GB ROM first as there is less likely to go wrong.

Surely the post immediately after your OP answered the question, or did it not ?
The other posts, including my earlier one, answered a different question. Hence the comment from another poster, sorry don't have the name, mentioned hijacking threads is not cool.

sorry i am a newbee.........but the post you gave was a link for guide to s-off and s-on....and i have completely done s-on...........but still worried to have official ota as my phone is still 30 days old

OK getting the thread back on track.
Did the post after you original one answer the your question.
If not, get the phone S-OFF'd and SuperCID then just install an appropriate RUU, then you'd get the OTA.
EDIT: or just reinstall the RUU for your county/carrier
Most people are going away from shipped ROMs here and trying different ROMs with their good and bad things.

So you mean to say that we can get HTC update with s-off and original ruu only......and u mean no need to do s-on also ????

Look, someone posted a potential solution. Someone else asked a different question (hijacked thread) which was answered.
Please explain the current situation and the attemps you've tried that have failed.
HBOOT, Recovery, Radio, ...... That info is crutial. Also what you are attempting to achieve .

i had s-off and rooted and now i have succesfully s-on and unrooted my device and now i am on official stock ruu...........my question is that can i update my phone via ota updates from htc???

I think OP is trying to ask if flashing an Asian RUU and going to S-ON will turn his T-Mobile Sensation 4G into a proper Asian handset (and therefore get OTA updates that official Asian handsets do).
I'm not sure if it would (maybe there's an IMEI check?), but I would change my CID to be what it should be for that RUU (and not leave it at supercid).

i have supercid my phone and i remain on t-mobile ruu then will i get official update

I'm actually quite curios to know the answer, if I just s-off my phone will I be receiving updates from HTC, I got the T-mobile phone and I live in the middle east, my phone does not read arabic, I'd ultimately like to install a middle east rom , but then will the official updates stop?

I don't think anyone will know until the OTA drops. My hunch is that having the right RUU and CID would mean you get the OTAs. Having supercid will probably not work, since that's essentially what identifies your region.
But putting my XDA hat on, why would you want an OTA anyway when we have legendary chefs here to get you hooked up with good roms?
btw, I tried out one of the InsertCoin ICS roms, and the Facebook app could read Arabic and Urdu properly (right-to-left with joined letters). I didn't check the browser, but it probably would have worked as well. (In GB, you'd have to patch the system libraries to get proper letter joining)

I guess you wouldn't, I just read some people commenting about having some bugs in their custom roms, so I just automatically assumed that the stock roms are at least stable. the other reason is that I'm afraid to break something

I just went through this, I had s-off with super cid and had the stock HTC Europe RUU flashed on my phone.
The phone detected an OTA update was available (an old one that was released after the RUU), but when I tried to download it, it just timed out. I reset my CID to HTC__001 and then it downloaded the update OK.

i bricked my phone while doing s-on
i know its a true brick as nothing is happining not even the charge light
can u tell me that "would this have affected my motherboard or not"????

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.

Unfortunately when I was trying to change my rom I was too hasty and didn't back up the stock. Although I backed up my data ;/

another funny user...
if you want us to try to help you, explain your condition. Like, S-OFF/S-ON, Hboot ?, Cid number? HTC Dev unlocked or not and maybe we can surely give you a link to a guide for your problem and some links for similar questions solved.
Maybe Xda should consider a sanction/warn etc for this kind of users that really don't search before opening a new threa.

haha, without the rom i dun think u can't flash it back. can't flash an empty folder hoping it turn into a stockrom.
try searching for a stock rom zip, sure there is one around here somewhere.
anyway why do u wan to restore it? the custom roms here are pretty nice.

Flashing a stock backup will not return you to S-ON. Nor will flashing a stock ROM have the same effect as returning to stock. You'll still be S-OFF/unlocked and probably rooted.
To return to stock you'll need a RUU. But like others have said, you'll need to provide more information before help can be provided.

Sorry for my incompetence. I'm S-ON and unlocked the boot with htcdev.com. what do you mean by cod number? Again sorry for being incompetent. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
The reason for me wanting to do this is because I would like to be able to get the ics update officially when it comes out with HTC sense cause I miss sense. Sad I know but this is what I'd like to do. I'm on orange and in the UK if that's more help.
