Hello. Yesterday I unrooted and s-on my sensation, because I have som dust in the screen. For it, I used germany's Vodafone RUU, due there isn't a RUU for Vodafone Spain (my country).
Some people from Spain told me that using that RUU from Germany was ok, but something confuses me: when I try to search for OTA's I get this message:
We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software. For your protection, we cannot update your phone. Please revert your phone to the official HTC system software to update your phone. If you did not modify the system software or would like help reverting your system, please contact us via the support section at www.htc.com
So, I want to know if HTC will see this, or if they'll refuse to change my screen. I'd also like to know experience of others whose country hasn't got a leaked Vodafone RUU, and your experience.
Thank you all
Anyone?

so when you decided to leave stock rom and go custom.... didnt you make a nandroid backup like ALL the threads insist ? If you did you could restore it.
Or brick the device completely and say that a dodgy OTA upgrade caused it (no recommended)
EDIT: Wont a European RUU be good enough ? or a stock Spain RUU, It doesnt have to be carrier branded to re-validate warranty...Just stock

First of all, thanks for your answer. I didn't make a nandroid because the phone was bought already rooted from internet. I don't think so about the stock debranded ruu because they have the info that my phone was Vodafone branded and if they see a stock Rom they'll see I've manipulated the software.

Good day
I got my new sensation 2 days ago i need to install new RUU on the device but i don't know where to start and what to do
plz i need help thxx
You can't flash an RUU that's different from you original version. It's been covered SO many times before it's not funny.
What RUU are you trying to flash and what ROM is currently on your phone?
im trying to install "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_ARA_1.34.415.1"
and idon't know what is the current RUU on my device
my problem is :
i want to add arabic support to my device , when i run the RUU it can't discover the device, my device is connects and set to USB disk drive
You can't do it. To find the version on your handset go to Settings>About phone>Software information
And it shouldn't be connected in Disk Drive mode to run an RUU - you set it to HTC Sync (and you need HTC Sync installed on your PC)
Android Version 2.3.3
Software number 1.35.720.1
Kernal 2.6.35.10-g9cef70d
and if i can't how can i install arabic support on device??
You can't, simple as that. You need to wait until we have root access to flash a new ROM which has Arabic support built into it. Might be weeks yet
as mentioned above, you just can't at the moment, for arabic webpages however you can download Firefox which renders arabic websites without a problem, I know that doesn't solve all the problems though, the facebook app for instance can't ready arabic unless it's supported natively by the rom, don't worry though, once HTC releases its S-off update all will be fine.

So it also won't be possible to flash the "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.900 7.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed"
to a 1.34.206.1 (Europe) device, right? =(
or is there a possibility to do this?
Would be really nice to get that unbranded version to my phone cause I really dislike waiting weeks or longer for a new branded version every time a new software version is released.. :/
That's correct, you can't debrand until we have full root access
Not what I've wanted to read but thanks for the answer :')
I hope that will change soon

Your thread in general isn't helpful to the guy dragging up an 8 month old thread. To answer the question you need to s-off, set super cid and then flash the RUU you wish to use

Hello, I have to send my sensation to HTC for having some dust in the screen. For it, I have flashed a RUU, I have reverted from supercid to VODAP304, and s-on successfully, (or at least that says my bootloader)
My question is, if is there anyway to know if the process was ok, because when I try to install a OTA update of 28 mb, it says:
"We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software. For your protection, we cannot update your phone. Please revert your phone to the official HTC system software to update your phone.

Could somebody help me, please?
Thank you all.
You used the wrong RUU, as I said before
Which one did you use?

If the ruu is only 28 mB, it seemed you're installing an incremental ota. You need a full ruu (~400 mB) then the ota.

No, the ruu I installed was about 400 mb, but if I look for ota updates, there's one of about 28mb but it gives me that error.

That's the point, they HAVE done an RUU but now can't do the OTA as it's probably the wrong RUU for the OPs CID

I used a German one, and I executed it twice. Executing the ruus was fine, 0 troubles.

But the RUU doesn't include your CID, hence the error

Possibly not, in which case you're stuck
Anda if I set Germanys cid, I will be able to download the OTA, but in HTC they will see that I changed it and I'll have no warranty?

Probably not but they'll know where the phone originally came from so well know it's not German

Any new on the update on Vodafone Romania?

I don't think you can be stock or your using a Vodafone cid and downloading a non stock update, as the stock HTC__001 cid has had no ota, unless its basing off another indicator. What version firmware?

still nothing on the three network, what is going on, on here....why are some company rolling out 4.0 faster than others, personally i think google should just put a link on there site for all manufacture instead of we waiting for them to get there finger out and put a couple of branding making on it
Vodafone have always been quick with the Sensation ota updates as they had the phone first in the UK

Hello everyone!
It's seems to look like another "would you upgrade the phone of your GF to ICS" (which can actually lead to tensions *skip lame part*), but it's not.
I have in my hands a sensation Z710e from Korea, still running gingerbread.
Being now in Europe (more precisely in Belgium), I would expect to have the ICS stock upgrade (cf. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570785).
But no update showing up on the phone. I guess the problem comes from the build (1.46.911.4 CL149869 RELEASE-KES) or the baseband (10.57.9035.00U_10.14.9035.09_M) which are Korean and not European.
Questions:
- Will I ever get any update of this phone, in Europe, OTA?
- Is it possible to update the baseband/build to have an European baseband (and follow OTA updates)?
- Is it dangerous (it's not my phone I don't want to brick it)?
- Should I follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298 with such a korean phone? I have no S-off for now, and phone version doesn't seem supported http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary?
Thank you in advance.
I'm not sure if or when you would get an update but I have rooted and s-offed two of my friend's phones including the sensation. I did the sensation a few months ago and they are happy with it

S-off, change your cid to the local carrier and you should get the update. You'll want to s-off before the update anyways because you can't once your hboot updates.

I'm not sure in that one actually, I thought you meant changing the country by installing a local ROM. Personally I think I would super cid, s-off, and root and then install the local stock ROM or any of the other ROMs like Android revolution and then you could unroot and turn s-on if you wanted to, but it is all extra stuff to do.

GB to ICS Update India postponed to May 14th
dude dont worry you will definitely get the update... we in India are scheduled for next month
S-OFF takes 10mins.
Change CID take 10 seconds lol
Do them 2 steps and the Update should come through.
You dont have to CID, Just change it to unbranded Europe. But superCID is better and isnt any more complicated
Hey Bharat...
Who told u about our update next month? Ive been hounding those guys for days and they seem to have no clue...

Regarding the European RUU, I have a completely stock branded to vodafone desire S with the 2.3.5 OTA. Will I have to take any measures besides backing up my stuff to install the RUU?
Normally i wouldn't ask this, but the phone being limited to vodafone only sim cards makes me wonder if the RUU will affect any of it or if i have to do extra steps that I wouldn't with an unbranded phone.
Thanks,
Daniel
I think no one really knows yet. RUU is still too fresh. My guess, yes you can just install this on your branded Desire S. Your SIM lock will stay (this is never affected by a ROM). If you now have a Vodafone boot logo, you might lose that. Any apps put on there by Vodafone, you'll also lose, of course.
Actually that would work great for me, tired of the preinstalled crap As for not losing the sim lock, doesn't bothed me so much.
Kinda just want to update without issues, wondered how it would fit this specific situation.
Thanks for the reply m8
Update:
Installed the RUU without issues, phone seems to be working fine so far.. actually have more free memory than before (both without apps installed, did a reset before installing the RUU)
Wifi and 3G are working, phone is smooth but to be fair.. only installing apps atm.. glad to have the update

no need to unbrand. This RUU is WWE and can be used with all Desire S. Just run RUU if your phone is s-on.
