i have rooted my phone and installed various roms via rom manager but am now using the stock xe room from my backup.
I want to be able to get the ota update but will i still get it while my phone is rooted etc?
my device says ***locked*** and 's' off
does this matter?
is there anyway to completley wipe the device and start all over again so it would be as if when i first got it so as to enable the new update.
thanks for the help.

Install the latest RUU for your device then you will be back to stock.
S-off will remain but this doesn't matter as it will not prevent you from recieving stock ota updates.
Thanks for the reply,
It now seems that somehow I have installed another Rom that I had previously downloaded from Rom manager and when I now try to find my back up of my original sensation xe UK sim free back up I can't find it anywhere.
Can anyone post me a link to the original xe firmware that I can download and then install from recovery and then I can get the offical ics update.
Thanks.

Hi All
Let me start by saying what a wicked forum, I love it!!
Hopefully I wont get shot for this.
I have tried the search function and read a number of posts, but it has just confused me.
I have an unbranded HTC Sensation 2.3.3 s-off and rooted.
I want to update it to 2.3.4, I have had the OTA notification and the install failed.
My question is, do I have to install a custom ROM, or is there away to install the OTA update. I know I will probably lose root.
Thank you
Kam
You must be on stock ROM and stock recovery. Not sure if root matters

You can always get the Ruu.exe and extract the recovery image and make a flashable zip. There are numerous threads about it.

I am trying to get my rooted T-Mobile UK Sensation to take the latest OTA update.
As I have Clockwork recovery installed the new image is failing to install.
I saw that I should be able to switch back to the stock recovery using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275668
I cannot see the T-Mobile UK recovery listed in there. Can I use any of the others?
You could also do it the manual way. Which for me is easier:

Thanks for the pointer but I cannot find a UK T-Mobile recovery there either!
Can I use HTC Europe?
I don't think so. :'(
I applied OTA updated on rooted phone.
What i did, downloaded ota update, moved update file to sd card root, booted phone in clockwork recovery, navigated to update from zip file, and everything worked OK
I have a t-mobile Ruu here

You need stock recovery to install software updates. Are you using a custom one?

When you rooted your phone most surely you installed a custom recovery (clockwork maybe). Read this guide for getting back to stock recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16862231

Can't find my current software version 1.45.707.1 under HTC Sensation in Android Recovery Manager... I guess, I'll have to wait until Android ICS update comes to HTC Sensation.
That won't help, you'll need the stock recovery to install that update as well.

Then what would be the solution?
I did Factory Reset the phone once and even after that, update didn't install. The phone was surely unrooted then. I explained this to HTC and they said that now i should wait for the ICS or i could bring the device to their lab, which i couldn't.

after rooting you should have flashed any custom recovery.please check your recovery . log to hboot and select recovery. i thing you got cwm or some other recovery. you want get your stick recivery after a factory reset.because factory resetiing mean deleting your data in your phone.
i am on the cwm recovery.i got the same update (14mb) and i tried once.it stucked in a window displaying a phone+exclamation mark(something like that)
anyhow, did htc tell you ics releasing date??

Hi
First of all, I have an HTC Inspire 4G and I have a friend that also have the HTC Inspire 4G. He installed a lot of ROMs in your HTC. The point is that he want to return to the stock ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.3) but he didn't backup your phone to restore them with the stock ROM. I installed some ROMs in my HTC, but before that, I realized a backup of my phone with the ROM Manager and ClockworkMod, later I restore the backup to return to the stock ROM. So my question is, can he use my backup to restore your phone with the stock ROM?
I hope that you can help me.
Thank you,

USE ONLY IF ROOTED!!! Place in root of SD Card (Not in any folder) install by powering up into hboot with power button and volume down at same time. Let it do its thing volume up for yes top install when asked. Let it do its thing then reboot when asked.
You wont lose root.

If you want to get rid of root use Ace Hack Kit. (Instead)
thank you

Thank you, I will try this with my friend.
You can also use the ace hack kit to return to stock with out losing root.
You will lose root, but not s-off if you choose so.

I flashed the RUU and am using the stock ROM image. Unfortunately flashing the latest AT&T image update to Gingerbread 3.2.5 fails. Granted, my firmware is still vulnerable and my recovery partition still has CWM on it. Advice how to install the latest official update on top of a rooted HTC Inspire 4g would be appreciated
Thanks,

I've tried updating my rooted HTC One S software via about>Software updates. I realised after that i cant update through that method as I have a rooted phone. So I relocked the bootloader but my phone still isnt updating . Can someone please help me?
Are u already in 4.0.4?
If I helped in anyway please hit thanks
And is your problem that an update won't install or that the phone cant find one?
Don't know if you did it, but you also need to flash stock recovery.
