Hi!
If i`m s-off i can`t receive OTA updates ? sorry for question
As far as I'm aware, s-off means absolutely NO OTA. But you can, download the OTA zip and flash using stock recovery.

I may be wrong but my understanding of S-off just allows you to flash custom software like ROMs and recoveries. I don't think it has anything to do with you being able to recieve OTA updates. What hinders you from receiving OTA updates is the custom software itself. The device only looks for the OTA for the ROM it is running. If you are S-off and have a custom recovery but still have the stock ROM you should still get the OTA. You can also use any recovery custom or stock to flash the OTA if you download the zip file for it.
I'd head some people not getting it S-OFF, going back to S-ON and then getting it but might just be coincidence
Hmm. I thought stock s-off + OTA = bootloop?
Or is that a hangover from my Bravo days...

Hi,
If you have s-off rooted phone,why on earth do you want OTA?
A custom ROM should have the OTA function switched off.
It will only mess up your phone by mixing HTC updates with custom ROM updates.
Anything released by HTC will soon be incorporated into custom ROMS.
If you want OTA updates,then s-on and do it.

A lot of people dont load a custom rom after s-off. They have most likely run the Revolutionary tool to root then just stick with stock in which case OTA updates will keep prompting.
As previous post says you cannot update OTA if a custom recovery has been flashed. Go to the Sensation Android Development section and search for a pre-rooted version, download, copy to SD card and flash in recovery.
hi guys i've a question for you: my Desire S is s-off, root but still with stock rom (and 4Ext recovery)...i know that i cannot do the OTA update so i have to choose 2 ways:
1) downgrade to s-on with hboot 0.98 and 1.28 RUU stock rom, then do the ota updates
2) flashing the rom 2.10 with RUU without downgrade
here is my doubt: if i flash now the RUU 2.10, the update will succeed but the device will turn back to s-on without root or the device will result blocked as doing the OTA update?
and when it will be available RUU 2.10 prerooted? i could use the RUU with the device S-off, maintaining root?
Why apply the update?
Stay well clear of it, as it will just limit your devices future functionality and remove future options that are currently open to you, if you want the update then supply a custom that contains it.
Never apply ota updates once rooted

First thing's first - I'm definitely not a newb.
My phone (Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA) is depended upon for work and person use. I've been playing with a lot of custom ROMs and each and every one of them has their own little quirks.
Because of this I have seriously considered going back to stock, but I want to be sure that I can receive OTA updates.
I realize that I can get everything back to stock via RUU, HOWEVER, with SuperCID in place, would I still be able to receive OTA updates? I've read that the RUU doesn't replace the SuperCID with the shipped value.
If not, how would I get the SuperCID back to the original value (which unfortunately I don't have - phone was bought used and already rooted) ?
Thanks so much!
You can get the OTA with superCID the RUU will unroot your phone and reinstall the stock recovery. You will need the stock recovery or you could Brock your phone
If you want to be on the safe side and rewrite your cid do the steps you did to get superCID but instead of 11111111 put T-MOB010 That should get you back on track

So, by flashing the RUU it won't replace the 4EXT recovery with the factory one?

What about the cid??
Sent from my Sensation XE
No cid will stay the same but that has nothing to do with how your phone runs that just allows you to install the ics custom rom because of the firmware updates needed to run them

you could.. but since you can easily rewrite your cid, why worry?
after u flash stock rom
1. Super CID will remain
2. S-off still remain
I can download OTA from server but after download finish it will not install with the error about variant system (means we modified software).

Are you sure for this? From what I know IF you install stock ROM from RUU, it will automatically unroot the phone, get back to S-On and of course replace your bootloader with the original one. However to be honest I don't know what happens if you install stock from clockwork recovery - maybe that way the bootloader will not be replaced and you will still have S-Off and root.
TO JWhipple: The Super CID shouldn't matter for RUU. However you could always change it back to your phone/operator version before installing RUU.
@up: not in Sensation. After installing stock with RUU, S-OFF will remain still. To get S-ON back follow this guide. I'm sure, tested on my own Sensation
What would be the right order to go with:
Do you start with changing the SuperCID back to the original one forst or would you first have to go back to S-ON?
SIMPLY TELL ME ONE THING
that can we have official update after installing the latest ruu with s-on and unroot but with super cid?????
thanks

installing stock ruu doesnt change the phone to s-on or unroot.......but see the guide to do s-on then u might get the official updates
The ruu simply changes your rom to stock unrooted, changes radio, recovery and hboot. It doesn't change stuff like cid and s-off. In theory you can get ota updates with supercid and s-off. The only thing required, would be the stock recovery

Quick question, a few guides to going back to stock Sensation point or that you have to downgrade the firmware and radio. Is downgrading the radio (and firmware for that matter) necessary before flashing stock ROM with RUU? I did it with the last sensation before sending it in for warranty replacement, but only because the guide suggested it. But next time I wouldn't do it if I don't have to. Thanks ahead.

No it is not necessary. It will be required only if your device is S-ON and RUU version is older. Just remeber that if your phone is S-OFF and you want to put it S-ON again, do that after you have flashed stock ROM.
I see mixed answers with this but can u still get OTA updates with s-off? S-off only, No root, stock rom etc.

I've asked this too and like you was still a little confused. Hope someone can shed an authoritative light on this.
You will get the OTA updates if you have the stock recovery installed as well as the stock rom.
When I first rooted to debrand from Vodafone to generic UK, I wasn't getting the OTA update for 1.50.401.1 when it was available, and it was because I still had clockworkmod recovery installed.
I flashed the original recovery, and the OTA update suddenly appeared.
I still had S-OFF.

Sorry, I'm a n00b...so S-off is okay but don't root yet?
I think both S-OFF and root are okay as long as you are on stock rom and stock recovery.
Definately S-OFF because I always have been since I debranded and have received 2 OTAs since then. I *think* I've been rooted too, but not 100% sure about that.

...
I flashed my XE with a taiwanese ROM using SuperCID. I used to have a SEA WWE rom but I can only download the RUU for the Taiwanese one because my Ordroid 9.0.0 didn't have wifi on so I had to go back to stock. Now, there's this 3.33 update for the current rom I have and have downlaoded it in the OS for at least 5 times and failed at all of it.
I later changed my CID to HTC__621 which is for the taiwanese rom but the update still didn't occur. I only reach about a third of the update bar on reboot and I always see a red question mark on a phone icon after. I can't seem to find out why this is happening to me. Is it because I have S-OFF? I don't see how S-off would affect the OTA.
Can anyone help me?
Man what exactly are you trying to do are you trying to flash a ruu that's for the xe or just flash a ruu in general and get the ora update and if that's the case what update are you trying to obtain

You can only ugrade via OTA if you are on a completely stock ROM, htc OTA doesnt work on custom ROMs
Hi,
you should install RUU from your PC, then you should should put S-ON and only then you will be able to get OTA from HTC, here is How-To
