S-off devices will get OTA ICS update? - HTC Sensation

question :
so if I have a devices with S-off will I get OTA ICS update ?
thank you for your help

As far as I read, yes you will.
But if you are S-off you don't need to wait, just follow the guide a flash the OTA.

You won't get the current OTA as it's for the EU unbranded handsets - you're waiting on your carrier

can I root my phone since I have s-off and install OTA ICS then?

Don't need to root it, just need to flash an EU branded RUU (either 1.50.401.1 for original Sensation, 1.73.401.4 for the XE)
Best get the right RUU for your phone as it now thought for warranty purposes

Will i get OTA for ICS ?
It was Vodafone branded, Until last night.

No as you're not on the current unbranded version (which is 1.50.401.1). You'll need that OTA first, or flash the RUU

Ok thank you.
Will i not get the ics at all without changing RUU.
should i be getting ota for 1.50.401.1 in the uk ?

If it's still being pushed out then yes you should. Depends if you've changed your CID to be unbranded or whether you still have it as the Vodafone one

I was on 1.50.401.1 before when branded.
i didnt change the CID it says VODAP001.
do i need to change this ?

You would've been on 1.50.161.1 before the RUU (the current Vodafone branded build)
To be truely unbranded you will need to change the CID to HTC__001 (not the double underscore)

think you are correct about the 1.50.161.1
i will try and change the CID tonight.
do you think i would get the update to 1.50.401.1 after this ?
or should i install something like

You probably want this one:
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cd1d...857_signed.exe
You will need a goldcard to run the RUU. Even with a goldcard, you may get a 'Model ID error" since you are trying to run this on a stock, s-on device. This ROM is for the Z710E and you have a Z710A, thus the reason "Model ID error" may get thrown.
Thanks, then where can i download one ROM from my HTC Sensation Z710a?

Gold card won't work, you need S-OFF and Super CID to flash a different ROM
Just want the stock firmware 2.3.4 For my Z710a, but all of you have Z710e.. What i do?

If you S-OFF then you can take the 2.3.4 Z710e ROM.zip and edit the android-info.txt file to add the Z710a model id. With S-OFF you will then be able to flash this modified, unsigned ROM and get the stock 2.3.4 that you want.

Enjoy!
is there any change-log about this??..or only a new radio??
Is it true? and any change log?
Or just the radio upgrade?
could someone upload a rooted version pls?
Wouldn't this be part of HTC removing the patents they lost against apple? HTC are ment to be releasing new updates for all phones.
And then again.. Why would they release a new update of froyo when Gingerbread was released?
This makes no sense?

in fact it makes sense kinda cos they never did release ota ginger. the last official for the desire its still the froyo and the ginger ruu was only for developers and not officialy supported.

No, I don't remember seeing that as I didn't run that ruu. But - I do remember reading the License agreement which clearly states this:

Bravo Oxygen r2.
Website has two confusing explanation:
1. "Downgrade protection, these HBOOTs cannot be overwritten by an OTA or RUU, unless you flash a downgrader HBOOT first."
2. "Will my phone stay S-OFF forever?
Yes and no. As soon as you decide to flash a stock RUU that has a HBOOT update in it, this hacked HBOOT will be overwritten."

Ok thanks. When I flashed HBOOT, there was no downgrader on website. Maybe I don't need downgrade. But I will do anyway as you suggested.
I have Galaxy Note now, I want to sell this. That's why I need stock.

Answer to first question: If you mean through the update: No.
Answer to second question: Yes. 3.32.xxx.xx5 includes an update to HBoot 1.27.0000.
By the way: Currently, I run ARHD as well, with a manual flash of the stock 3.32.401.105 (Sensation XE, Europe Open) as the base.
One final piece of advice: If anyone intends or might intend to use custom firmwares or manually flash updates, like I did, use the Revolutionary tool on revolutionary.io before updating to ICS. Perhaps there are other ways, even with ICS to S-Off, but Revolutionary is probably the easiest.

I forgot to mention, by the way, that I also flashed a different 3.32.401.105 base with revolutionary unlocked HBoot 1.27.1100. Without it, ARHD doesn't boot. At least so I heard.
I'm on ARHD 6.5.5

I might change RIL to HTC-RIL 4.0.0017HMQ to test if my reception improves. Outside it's perfect but in buildings i'm experiencing bad reception compared to GB.
Update for XE is here!!!
Yes, downloading ICS update as well on my Sensation XE (unbranded, via Vodafone NL)

ICS OTA update on debranded Sensation

Hi all, apologies if this has been answered elsewhere.
I have a debranded Vodafone Sensation using Revolutionary and then CID change, S-Off, etc.
Is it safe to accept the OTA version of ICS, or better to go the whole hog and wait for the RUU? Is one available?
Thanks in advance.
OTA will be fine, or you can flash the RUU from the Shipped ROMs thread if you don't mind losing your data - it's up to you
If you're going to go down the OTA route, you have to be 100% stock bar the HBOOT to flash it without issues (e.g. not rooted, stock recovery)
Hi Eddy, thanks for the response.
I just did the necessary in order to debrand and unlock the phone to accept the Gingerbread stock RUU, I presume I would be OK with the OTA, or would you recommend the RUU?
Hi Eddy
I have received the OTA notification for the latest ICS update, but I am confused- I'm still S-off, hboot 1.18; should I not have received this update?
I think I would prefer to start again with an RUU executable programme to wipe the phone- is such a thing available yet?
Many thanks.
The 3.32.401.5 RUU is in the Shipped ROMs thread if you want it. OTA is fine if you're 100% stock but with S-OFF

and please is this RUU version 3.32.401.5 the same build as build distributed by OTA? In case I will apply it I would like to have solved "tap to URL" problem that was in original OTA file for Nordic countries and possibly in elevate distribution..

are you super CID? if not, go here and follow step 4
then you need a 3.32 firmware for ICS...go here and get whatever 3.32 you want, all will work after you super CID.
follow the steps precisely.

This might be a little confusing for me. I just got the sensation 4g and not sure what firmware I have.
this phone came with the latest ICS OTA
I have it rooted, s-off and super cid.
when i used to have my sensation (before ics) we never flashed firmware

Check the Software version in About phone it'll probably be either 3.32.xxx or 3.33.xxx. That is assuming a reasonably recent OTA update. That'll be the firmware that most folks will refer to as it came from an official RUU.
You could also check your baseband, I'm on 3.33 firmware which has the 11.76A.xxxx baseband. IIRC 3.32 has 11.69.xxxx.
