When sensation get its OTA ICS, will I be able to flash that ROM for tmobile?
thank you for your help
Oh no here we go again HA HA HA..............
No seriously, you will be able to receive the OTA as soon as T-Mobile lets us get the update. You will have to be stock meaning you have to be running Android version 2.3.4, HTC Sense version 3.6, Software version 1.50.534.1, and you will have to be using the stock recovery so it will flash. It does not matter if you are S-off or S-on or if you are rooted or not rooted.

I've got a question, my sensation is completly rooted and S-off.
If a new release gets available thrue OTA.
Can I instal this, like I updated the stock device to a newer version?
Thanks
If you have a custom-made ROM you cant get ota unless ota still in the ROM arhd doesn't have that option dont now about other roms,,
And if you can use a ota, you pose root.. and s-off or it has to be in the update

You will be able to flash generic Arabic ROM but not able to have OTA updates. Don't worry though, the minute HTC puts up an official build most devs/chefs will create a ROM from it

Yes you can. Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1228648
If you flashed the ROM and use RecoveryManager later on you will be able to replace the CWM recovery image to the original one. That is enough to be able install OTA updates. But with the update to ICS you will loose S-OFF and root. So think about that. May be it's even better stay unlocked and just use custom ROM like Jonny said. You could have ICS today. Jonny's DarkForest ICS ROM works fine for me.
Hello, I would like to ask a question regarding the Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread OTA update. Before I update my new HTC Desire S to Android 4.0 via RUU, I would like to update my phone to 2.3.5 first. I have done a bit of installation of apps and contacts, and I am scared that the OTA update will wipe my phone. Will the OTA update wipe my phone? I know that when installing RUUs, the phone will be completely wiped, but I am not sure with OTAs, because I've never done a OTA update before.

No
And a friendly suggestion: if you want ICS better S-OFF and use a custom ROM rather the buggy ICS RUU. This will keep the option to return to a warranty state if needed

Ok, thanks. To install a custom ROM I need to S-Off and root right?

I'm new to this site, just registered. Sorry i'm a noob!! So I have had the Blue Tmobile One S since august but sold that one to my friend and bought a black one from a guy and said it's from solavei, So I try it and everything seems legit except It's running Android 4.0.3 and Sense 4.0. So I go to menu>Software updates>check now to see if I can get the OTA they had in September but it says I am currently up to date. I checked my sotfware information and it said my software number was 1.84.1135.17 71ORD. I look online to see if I can some how download it and it told me that if I don't have these two other numbers and had something else then the warranty is void and I can't get updates. So My big question is how can I change my software number? Do I have to like root my phone? Then some how unroot it back to a different stock ROM? I'm open to suggestions and I would really like an answer thanks!!

If you're on 1.84 I would not update via OTA. You probably have a 1.06 or .09 hboot, which will be extremely nice for you.
I would suggest unlocking your bootloader via HTC and installing TrickDroid if you want stock. There arr several guides, including a all in one tool to help you with the process.

You can try typing *#*#CHECKIN#*#* into the dialer and then checking for updates.
Or you can find a T-Mobile US 2.35 RUU and running that. However it will be more difficult to flash ROMs once you have upgraded if you want to do that later on.

I tried that and all it did was say in my notifications "checkin succeeded" and nothing else happend.. so idk about that. I'm not really looking to root my phone, all I really want to do is have my phone run on the latest software and get OTA updates if possible. But if I need to root it, I will. And for the second thing, I'd have to root my phone to run the 2.35 right?

After "checkin succeeded" you should then check for updates in Settings, as I mentioned earlier.
You seem to be running an "ORD" build which is basically like a Beta test for the latest software. RD stands for Research & Development. The latest 2.35 RUU should work without rooting.
However that will upgrade your HBOOT and make it more difficult if you decide to root later on.

I am on 1.84 and I don't have the 1.06 or .09 hboot, I have the higher 1.14 I think, on Cincinnati Bell wireless. Not to hijack your thread bud but I am stuck wondering what I should do as well, since there is no RUU from my provider, I have cid HTC_017.
I also have the 4.0.3 with HTC 4.0

Change CID to HTC__001, run a 2.31 unbranded RUU. Then use the downgrade thread to downgrade down to 1.06 HBOOT.

Do SuperCID then any RUU will work.
Hello everyone,
I recently bought HTC Sensation 4g (T-mobile) and it's already S-OFF, rooted (Superuser by ClockworkMod) and recovery is CWM 5.0.2.0 and it has stock rom Android 2.3.4. Recently, I got alerted about an update of 4.0.4 for my HTC then I downloaded it but can't install it so I guess it's because it's rooted. I really want to install 4.0.4 on my HTC sensation 4g then I searched up for roms until I found this rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654347
Now, my question is, how should I flash it? Should I normally just flash it via CWM or via odin? Or I will have to go back to stock recovery for flashing the rom that Steve0007 posted on the thread linked above. And just to confirm, is it compatible with my device?
Android: 2.3.4
HTC Sense: 3.0
Software number: 1.50.531.1
Thanks!

First upgrade your firmware to 3.33universal
Go to the development section and search for kohr-ah's thread
Follow the instructions carefully and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
After that you have to flash an ics or jellybean Rom because your current Rom won't boot with ics firmware
Edit:do not never use Odin for anything.it is not for sensation devices

And uhh, it's really big headache unlike Samsung mobiles.. easy to root and easy to get back to stock. HTC is a big headache for those things.

Hey, just changed my mind, how about flashing another good custom ROM? Should I just flash custom ROM via CWM? 4.0.4 stock is way too hard and gonna take time.
