[Q] Changing back to GB and to official ICS. - HTC Sensation

Just wondering.
I'm on ARHD ICS 6.5.1 now. If I change to ARHD GB 3.6.13 and get the official ICS update, will my phone still be rooted?

And im on FW 3.32 now. Do i need to flash 1.17 to change back to GB?

Thanks man.
I'm a little confused though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 There's HTC part 1 and part 2. I know one of them is for my phone as the others aren't my carriers. How do i know which is mine?

What is your CID?
if you don't know download terminal emulator from market and give this command "getprop ro.cid" (without quotes). Then download 1.17 according to your CID

Ok fine but to prevent any problem check the original CID as I said before (terminal emulator will give the original CID even if current is 11111111)

No Updates after Unroot

Ok, so I had my Sensation rooted with a custom ROM but decided to put it back to stock (mainly to be able to use Sky Player). It has been 3 weeks since I did it and I've not had an update. It's stuck with Android 2.3.3. When I try to manually update It tells me that no updates are available.
Any Ideas?

for you to recieve OTA ..the CID must match
check the CID using
this command
fastboot getvar cid
if its not matching
change it to your region CID using this command
fastboot oem writecid <your cid>
eg: fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
check/get your original cid from here
Thanks for the reply.
I just checked. My CID is set as VODAP001, which should be correct for Vodafone UK.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance.
anybody???
Would having S-OFF have any effect?

nope it doesnt change anything
can you post the RUU name ..is it perfectly matching ?
The RUU I used was called...
RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_UK_1.24.161.1_Radio_10.39.9007.00P_10.11.9007.09_M2_release_190798_signed

that seems too old
there is an updated version of RUU try this
http://goo.im/stock/pyramid/ruu/PG58IMG_Pyramid_Vodafone_UK_1.27.161.1_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_191974_signed.zip
even after that if it didnt worked still..then
directly try the ICS RUU of vodafone
ICS VODAFONE UK RUU
Thanks buddy. I'll give them a try and report back
Excellent. The updated RUU did the trick. Thanks again dude :good:

stock rom fail

Hi,
I'm trying to go to the stock rom because I have to return my phone because I have battery problems and dust behind my screen.
But when I try to flash a stock rom it doesn't work. It says that I using the wrong image update.
Current image is 1.11.401.110 and I want to go to the lastest stock rom 3.32.401.105
What do I have to do?
Thanks
What was the original CID ? What CID do you now have ?
1.11.401....... wow that seems really old.
x.xx.401.... will need CID "HTC__001" or SuperCID "11111111".
What exactly does it say when you run the RUU ? Does it connect OK to the Sensation, does it say what the existing version is on the phone ?

I at the moment I have SuperCID so '11111111'.
My sensation was connected correctly to the pc
And do you need my Hboot version or my firmware?
My Hboot: 1.27.1100
Firmware: 3.33 full package

OK I don't understand where 1.11.401.110.... figures in the situation. If I understand correctly that is a custom ROM based off a different platform with Sense 4.0. Probably wrong though..
Are you fully S-OFF (clutching at straws here). Assuming you are you should be able to install an RUU easily. I recently went from 3.32.161.... to 3.32.401.. then back to 1.27.161... with no issues at all.
I'm sure someone more able than me can help you here.

ok you are SOFF seeing that you have revolutionary HBOOT ..
so when returning stock ...its better to flash the correct stock...which can be found using CID
but as you have supercid now ...you need to know your original cid or the carrier/country the phone is linked to ..for finding the proper stock RUU
this guide helps you in fiding the proper stock RUU and it has flashing instructions too
Hi,
I followed the link and tried to get my CID but I only get 11111111 so i don't know what I have to download now
Install "cid getter" from the market.
AFAIK the entry for "ro.cid" should tell you your original CID.
e.g. It says VODAP001 for me while "fastboot getvar cid" gives "11111111".

So now you have original cid back and ruu is flashed properly right?
Then for SON this command
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
(remember if everything is not stock now the phone might get bricked.. To check that.. Please post the output of this command excluding imei... fastboot getvar all)

[Q]SuperCID on VilleC2

hello to all . i have a simple question... i don't have a stock sense rom accepted for Moonshine.. so in the case i want to do S-OFF i have to use rumrunner... but the only thing to i try S-OFF its to have the possibility to have SuperCID and use any RUU... so here come my questions:
1-. i don't find a thread to have SuperCID on villeC2.. so its impossible? can't use fastboot write cid 11111111 ?
2-. my model is pj40210, not the universal pj40200 this matter? can i run a ruu for pj40200 on my phone? can damage?
thats all. thanks
xiaolvmu said:
Aha, to find the stock ROM, you can go to http://www.androidruu.com. I always download VilleC2 RUU there.
S-Off is doesn't need supercid. Also, VilleC2 has a strange security lock and we can never write CID (even change the mmcblk0p13. Don't try it, too dangerous. I've tried to get supercid but failed).
The model seems doesn't matter.

thanks for response . the problem is, for ,my CID (BSTAR301) don't exist a ruu . just have my nandroid backup

That means your CID doesn't have a RUU for download? You can Change your CID. I'll post a tutorial on One S forum

exactly my CID doesn't have a RUU for download! how i can change my CID? please make a tutorial i don't need do it because i'm using your rom hehehehe.... but.... just in case.....
xiaolvmu said:
OK... @JavierG123
I already found an existing tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911
The only difference is, VilleC2 can't use 11111111. You can change it to HTC__044 (Asia Version)
Then, in this download page : http://androidruu.com/?developer=VilleC2
Download this: RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.15.707.101_Radio_16.21.20.02U_16.09.20.11_M2_release_289564_signed.exe
Then you can flash the pure RUU
ps: The Hex Editor on Windows is a paid software, so I'll give a cracked version

when you are using command prompt make sure that you are in fastboot mode
have you installed sdk tools(adb/fastboot) and htc drivers on your pc?
