Hello.I am now posting for my friend who is too shy to register and post the thread here.
He has an HTC Sensation XE(S-ON,Stock',Not Rooted) and he has changed his CID from bootloader to HTC__001 (WWE) to get his ICS OTA but after restart he hasn't got the OTA,but instead he cannot switch back to his default Vodafone CID.He gets an error regarding smart_io.crd when he wants to change to any another CID.
So first question how can I fix that?
And I was also thinking about him trying an RUU for XE.
RUU works on untouched phone,
Question 2 : Yes or no?
Thanks for the support,please don't flame and as I was saying I'm doing this for a friend,I am using Samsung devices so it's not for me!
1.You can't write cid with s on. You must s off first
2. No, it won't pass the checks before flashing

I have sensation XE which is locked to India CID: htc__38
and I wanna have an arabic rom, which i couldnt find any proper RUU for it
coz I like orginal roms
can anybody tell me if i s-off my device, install CWR, then change the CID to the arabic CID which is HTC__J15
does anything happen to my existing rom which is "htc__38"?
would the mobile boot after I reboot it?
and will i have the official arabic update if i checked for them through the settings??
"there is already an OTA for devices coming originally with this CID"
and what will happen to the S-off and CWR if any official rom where installed
thanks a lot in advance

you can S-Off your sensation and then set CID to what you like.
there is a really nice walk-through in the development section for this.
although you might not get the update since your ROM is India version!!

Thanx a lot for replying
I wanna try my luck, to see if I'm going to get the update
So is it safe to change the CID without changing the rom and keep it like that?

You will have to change the Rom, cause since it is stock , It's region locked (requires that cid)
What you should do is: s off , use writecid to change the cid to your desired( Arab u said?) and then flash the Arab ruu to get it all working
** tip: if you can't find the proper ruu, just ask someone with the same cid his stock nandroid backup

first flash back to 1.17
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
then s-on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Do I need to revert to old firmware to S-on and go back to stock Rom?
FFS people, doesn't anyone actually make sure they know what to do BEFORE rooting in the first place??
1. Flash old 1.17 FW (unless you're Super CID, in which case you may not need to)
2. Flash the RUU of your choice (normally the one your phone came with, if available)
3. Reset Super CID to one of your choice (again, usually the one your phone came with)
4. S-ON using the fastboot command in the guide in the Dev forum
^^^^
i will take some info from someone..how i can see CID without root ??
Ok, i habe hboot 1.23 and so i cannot flash any new firmware files via hboot or cmd prompt. Unfortunately I also have s-on, what some friends suggested is to try and use RUU files to change the hboot but I ALWAYS get an 'Unknown error:155' on whichever RUU i try (i am SuperCid), and no HTCdev is not a solution! it does not give s-off. Can anybody PLEASE tell me what to do, I am really desperate as I want to switch back to ICS roms as after using them for so long I hate GB roms ( no offence to any chefs). Please anything at all, I've asked this exact same question before but despite getting 200+ views, nobody answered, I'm really desperate!
boot to bootloader and fire up the RUU.exe
That's what I have been doing, from fastboot option in the bootloader.
Does it change to fastboot USB when you plug the phone in ?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
yes it does.
Do you run the ruu as admin?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
Yes I do. I right click and choose run as admin and it asks for rights and I click allow.
Please stop starting so many threads asking for help with the same issue. Your question has been answered more than once and it's well known that you cannot flash any RUU because you are s on with 1.23 h boot. You continue to open threads rephrasing the same question. Currently there is no way for you to achieve s off or change your h boot version. Sorry about your situation, no one can help you because there's no solution.

H'm ok I was just trying the tacoroot method by musaraf because like he said, I have no other option.
Just saw your hboot. Never flash test ruus on a s on device... I guess you understand now why we say that...
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk
I just want to know, with the OTA update of ics will revolutionary update to match it? And why can't I run any ics roms that are on 3.12 firmware because k know I am and I flash their unsecured boot.img files.
I don't think we will know until the official release what h boot version is going to come with the update. We will have to wait and see. Best to try to contact the revolutionary team through there site and ask them.

i have searched but i can only find the guide for rooted phones
To revert to stock you have only to look for your RUU and run it on the PC with the phone plugged

Hi !
Just bought this used Sensation XE with Gingerbread 2.3.4 and when I downloaded update to 4.0 from Software Update I am unable to install cause during installation the phone switches off and reboots to a screen with a Triangle and an Exclamation sign and a small cartoon android next to it.
After waiting for nearly 10 minutes I took out the battery and booted again and now it is running GB once again normally.
I am afraid I might damage my phone if I do again and so may have to go to HTC service center in Bangkok once again. ( I live in Bangkok )
But any advices please ? ( I downloaded once again and checked to see if I had downloaded the entire file the first time but it is the same )
Afraid I am a noob with HTC. I had a Samsung Galaxy S and I had rooted it and must have installed more then 10 ICS on it but with HTC it is not the same and more complicated though I LOVe the Sense compared to Touchwiz now !
Please help !
Thanks !
Is the phone rooted now?
It seems you got rooted rom.. Normally for the ota update to happen three conditions has to be met..
1.cid match (which is matching in your case bother wise you won't even get the update)
2.stock recovery
3.non rooted stock rom
Check whether these conditions are being met or not..

Hi,
Yep as ganeshp has said, check your phone maybe it's rooted. If no and you still have some dificulties, try to install RUU from here:
filefactory[dot]com/f/c87a2330449af512
Yes...I just discovered its rooted. ( being used had no idea )
Since It's not easy like Samsung to unroot, pls advice me what I should do ?
1. Can u advice me to unroot and HOW ? ( the instructions on web is very confusing )
2. Since It's rooted can I install custom Rom but which case do I loose the radio ?
3. To install official ics it says open Bootloader. How do I find if my Bootloader is open or not ?
4. On the white screen it says Locked on top. Does it pertains to S Off ? Do I need to open that too ? And how ?
My sincere aplogies for so many questions but I know almost nothing about HTC.
My thanks !

1.download supersu app ..there inside settings ..there is option to do permanent unroot
2.to decide you can install custom root or not ..you need to post the complete details of the bootloader ..(bootloader is the place where you went in point #4)
3.you did opened the bootloader in point #4
4.ignore the locked part ..post the next line something like "PYRAMID PVT SOFF/SON RL " (if SOFF lucky ..you are eligible to install custom roms ) and probably you are SOFF as you are rooted (unless you are SOFF or have "UNLOCKED" bootloader you cant have root ..but you have LOCKED and root ..so you are most probably soff)
confirm these ..and ill give you the proper guide based on the answers
Hi my friend,
Today unrooted my phone and installed gb stock ROM 2.3.4 in order to have company update ( or i update via ota ) but...made a stupid mistake.
I have copied and pasted my inquiry in a new thread . It's as follows :
I unrooted the sensation xe today. No experience with HTC whatsoever. By mistake installed RUU Gingerbread 2.3.4... but of Sensation instead of Sensation xe.
Now have all specs showing of Sensation like 1.2 GHZ and no Beats Audio, etc.
My question is this :
I have downloaded now ICS update RUU file ( the correct one for sensation xe ) but it says that my phone Must Be a Sensation XE and nothing else.
But after this installation of Sensation RUU , isn't my phone just Sensation now or I still can update with power off into bootloader from this ICS RUU since in reality it is a Sensation xe ?
Or do I need to install sensation xe gb first to upgrade ?
Please advice. I don't want to plug in my usb and install wrongly.
Any way out please ?
Thanks in advance.

first flash the gb sensation xe ruu ..then only on the top of that apply the sensation xe ICS OTA
but first if you got OTA (over the air update) not RUU ..then do as above
if you got ICS sensation xe RUU ..then you can ignore the current condition of the phone and can happly apply ICS xe RUU (small hint XE RUU will have _LE_ in their name)
but seeing that you were able to apply sensation RUU on sensation XE i think you are SOFF ..which makes solving problems easy
Thanks ! But during unroot , s-off is on so cannot update from RUU . The software shows a phone on left side but now it only shows an outline of phone. And does not update.
So now I have sensation xe running gb 2.3.4 with regular sensation software instead.
It's unrooted and bootloader locked and s-off on.
Pls help !
Thanks !

I didnt get you
now you have sensation xe ..and are you getting update on it ?
if so are you able to download it ?
can you post your cid and the ruu name you used for your sensation xe ?
I am unable to provide u with RUU details cause in the office now but its like this :
In the beginning I had bought this second hand sensation xe but rooted and with GB 2.3.4 which I wanted to update to 4.0
Company refused cause it was rooted which i did not realize at that time.
So, searched the net and found how to unroot which made me think that after this I will give it to company HTC to update official version.
Little did I think that on unroot my phone will then loose Beats Audio and in all respects become the first Sensation !
So now It's unrooted, s-on , locked like out of the box except with wrong software ! And I don't know if anything can be done about it !
Yes, after unroot i had downloaded Software Update from Settings and it showed me the downloaded file in a long list which then I Extracted by pressing the Menu key.
After extraction I installed by touching the file and the phone went into long reboot and back....to the same.
Hope this helps though I will send u RUU description today evening ( I am in Thailand )
Kind regards.

i dont believe it has made the phone s-on. not possible by simply fashing a ruu. please fully turn off the phone, hold down volume down + power. when bootloader boots copy everything onto a post here please.
yes post the bootloader deails as heavy_metal_man said .. but after power off remove battery ,reinsert it then do the rest as he said
Sorry. I did not explain properly.
After flashing RUU I had to go into Command prompt and type 3 commands. Can't remember now. Too complicated. This was to restore my s on from off.
Thanks !

That was the BIG mistake you did ..turning SON after SOFF (fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 command right ?) is not required at all ..unless you want to return the phone for warranty purposes..as SOFF wont hurt you anytime ..when you stay on stock (also fyi the unroot process doesnt include turning SON)
now post the complete output of this following command excluding IMEI..with phone connected from fastboot to pc (the same way you did SON using the three commands )
fastboot getvar all
Thanks
Though I do not understand this completely i will go home tonight and do my best to comply.
Thanks again.

yes you can absolutely but dont update to ICS via RUU or OTA if you want to root and install custom roms the easy way
Please, pls, can u in that case provide me links to root and recommend a stable custom ROM ?
How to instructions would be great.
I am a noob of the highest caliber when it comes to HTC.
Tried to find links to root for my phone but afraid I might mess up again.
I trust your judgement and u have been so quick on yr replies that It's so impressive and I thank u for your kind help !

then you need to follow this guide to the letter ....post #1 and post #2 (the custom rom used is close to stock and one of the most popular/stable rom)
God bless.
Thanks !
Will try when I reach home tonight.
