Hi all, I have been waiting long for the official upgrade to ICS from JTC which I was over the moon when I checked software update on my phone and found it was available, I downloaded it , hit install, the phone shut down , I closed my eyes and opened them to see that the phone didn't finish the setup and Instead had the green Android man with a triangle next to it with (!) Inside , first I left it dor an hour and when nothing happened, I had to take the battery off and restarted the phone and tried it again but no luck.
My phone has the original Rom on it , not rooted , has s-off and has clockworks mod recovery on it , I even tried to install the update from recovery boot but kept coming with error and installation aborted , can anyone help me please? Much appreciated
Thanks

Stop fooling around with the original software when you have soff. Flash the latest firmware available here in forum and flash a custom rom.
P. S. Wrong section
Wrong section, this is a dev section

u never upgrade from ota with custom recovery and s-off. i mean NEVER.
now your phone is soft bricked. get over it and flash the latest firmware and flash an ics rom
Thanks for ur reply, and sorry I realised it was the wrong sec right after I posted it, my question is is there away I can get it back s-on or if I uninstall clockworcksmod and wipe the Rom will it let me upgrade to original HTC ICS ? Or do I forget it and root it and get a cooked Rom ?

you can. but it's a really complicated process and u may permanently brick your phone. my advice is that u just flash 3.32 firmware and flash any ics rom from here.

THIS IS FOR SENSATION, MAY WORK ON SENSATION XE, FOR MORE WAYS CHECK OUT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469296
Try this First, use 4ext recovery to format all partitions except sdcard, install stock ROM by running RUU and see if that helps, IF NOT use the below method
I got this working for me after I tried getting to stock from ICS custom rom and semi bricked my sensation, you use this at your own risk:
1. Use htc dev unlock method and then use 4ext recovery formatted all partitions except sdcard
2. Install custom rom , a 2.3.4 rom (use Android Revolution HD 3.6.13), can be downloaded from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14191938&postcount=1" as multiupload is not working so couldn't download any rom from there, so used above one
3. Reboot sensation, used revolutionary to get S-OFF
4. RUU was not flashing so do this : Relocked my phone by running "Fastboot OEM lock" with phone in fastboot USB and then reboot the phone
5. From "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033", Used METHOD 2 - ENG HBOOT [both Flash ENG HBOOT & Download an RUU and then Flash RUU (rom.zip)]
6. Once phone boots up, run the STOCK RUU.exe as normal (required else phone would not install OTA though downloads it without problem),
7. Once done and rebooted, used commands from "http://theunlockr.com/2011/10/03/how-to-unroot-the-htc-sensation-4g/" to put S_ON back
8. Result, relocked, S-ON and on STOCK with OTA installing without problem
Please tell if this helps
Dont make it s-off just install the ota to get rid off custom recovery
Then install the OTA
ore flash Mikes FW and then his stiock ICS
and has clockworks mod recovery on it
you need only stock recovery
jast flash orginal ruu and chek for update and install it

now I stuck in bootloader... now I just wanna install some room s-off,s-on no matter :| but I can't run recovery,
I trying this
STEP 5 - CHANGING BACK TO S-ON - PROCEED WITH CAUTION. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. BEWARE THERE IS A RISK OF BRICKING READ BEFORE GOING TO STEP 1.
YOU MUST Follow this correctly otherwise you could semi-brick your device (Semi bricks recovery by re-flashing RUU). If you follow it correctly YOU WILL GET S-ON SUCCESSFULLY -confirmed by other users
I cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong but i will help in every situation. 2 unrecoverable bricks so far. 1 due to not flashing RUU
First time i did this with a custom ROM installed - semi-bricked my device (couldn't boot due to security warning as S-on doesn't work with custom roms), restored it using RUU.exe
Second time after S-off i took the following steps and successfully went back to S-ON without any problems and booted up into stock rom.
Confirmed to work by several others as well as myself
1. Follow Step 4 above to get SuperCID - Skip if you already have it
2. Restore your official stock Rom: Just click here to download an Official Rom RESTORE STOCK EVEN IF YOU JUST RESTORED IT RECENTLY OR ARE ALREADY ON STOCK ROM. This is to ensure nothing gets changed in stock for S-on to be successful
So if you are already on a stock ROM or you just went back to stock ROM, i don't care, restore the stock ROM again using the RUU.exe if you don't want to be bricked!
Connect to your phone in charging mode. click the "RUU_pyramid_*****.exe" file you downloaded and follow on screen instructions.
3. Make sure when you download the RUU. download the same or similiar RUU version as your phone came with (e.g. Tmous or EU or Asian etc). As long as you install a stock rom similiar to what you had you should be ok. FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
4. Switch your phone on now and let it boot for the first time and just skip through the welcome screen.
5. Go back to Step 4 - SUPERCID and go through 1 to 7 to get to the fastboot bootloader. (so just do what you did before, put adb files in local disk, adb reboot bootloader etc)
6. enter the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (Thanks Dazweeja)
7. Reboot into bootloader using "fastboot reboot-bootloader" or remove & reinsert the battery and press power on while keeping hold of volume down.
8. Bootloader should now read Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL.
9. Remove and reinsert the battery. Press power on as normal
You should now have S-on back and you can return your device or do whatever it is covered again under warranty.
10. IF IT DOESN'T REBOOT and bootloader says ***Security Warning**
Remove and re-insert the battery and go back into bootloader and holding Volume Down +power button select fastboot
11. Run RUU_Pyramid_***.exe to reflash stock rom. (the one u just downloaded in step 1) and then reboot. It should work now
The above method works successfully. So do not under any circumstances try this without going back to stock first using Ruu.exe. and Follow the instructions correctly if you want S-on WITHOUT problems Any doubts or questions PM me and i will get back to you and help you.
Donations welcome as i had a very shaky night experimenting and bricking my device (and having a panic attack over it) to find a safe method for successfully getting S-on back for all you out there complaining about warranty.

someone have an idea what can I do?
also I try taco but...:
C:\adb>adb push tacoroot.bin /data/local
error: device not found
My HTC sensation will be here tomorrow and the first thing I'm gonna do is install a custom ROM because I've played around with a sensation in the shop and sense 3 seems sluggish. If I'm right these are the things required to install a custom ROM:
1.S-OFF the device
2.Install recovery 5.0.0.8
3.Permanently root device by flashing su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip via recovery.
4.Download and flash PG58IMG.zip via recovery.
5.Download Rom and flash via recovery.
If I got any of these wrong can you guys please tell me.
Thanks.
The new HTC Sensation phones will probably have the ICS stock ROM, which will have a HBOOT version of 1.27.00.00, revolutionary still hasn't updated their software to work for this HBOOT version. So yeah, we gotta wait.
If it Non ICS, and u need to flash ICS rom, do tje firmware upgrade as well as Super CID...so as to flash an ICS rom smoothly....

the thing is you could either flash sensation XE rom on top of it
or
just install this addon by mudhi (gives beats also srs,equalizer and dolby effects)
link here
EDIT: flash the non XE mod from the thread btw
PS: don't forget to hit the thanks button
by flashing xe rom on top of it, i wont have dual boot? all i want is the original xe rom back on my sensation xe if i want that do i have to root again ?
i just want the ICS sensation xe rom back on my sensation, do you also have a link to the stock xe rom?

no you wont have a dual boot but you might need to do a superwipe which is dependent on the rom
btw which ROM are you running currently ?(this would be helpful for further answers)
PS:
in most of the custom ROMS the only difference between XE and non-XE version is just beats...nothing less nothing more
so if you want just beats you can flash the mod by mudhi which ive posted earlier
ohh you want stock ruu ???
here is the link then
stock ruu's
btw sensation xe ruu is in second post

Hold on, there's something I don't understand. You said that you flashed a sensation ROM on your sensation XE. By right you should haven't lost S-OFF by doing that.
i kinda flashed stockrom so i could turn s-on, so i could use the normal update to ics
i actually have a clockworkmod backup of the old version, but when i go to HBOOT and click recovery i get an image of my phone with a red traingle with an ! inside it, what does this mean? because if i connect my phone to the pc and use th SD card, the recovery is on it
the story is this way:
i rooted my phone(successfull, no custom rom) to use certain apps, later on when ICS got released in my country, i had to turn s-on to use the "legal" update. So i did that by use of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 this thread. The thread sais in step 5 to install stock-rom, i picked the normal sensation ICS rom en that is when the Hboot went to 1.27. Now i cant root it, and can't enter clockworkmod to go back to 23-01-2012
at least, i get the picture of my phone with an ! in a triangle in red

the triangle on your recovery means you have stock HTC recovery.
Flash the cmw again using PG58IMG.zip by keeping that file on root of your sdcard.
then you can use the old backup from your sdcard
then i will have hboot 1.17 again, and there is no chance of bricking?
i put the pg58img on my root file on sd, but it wont install. Is this because i use an old pg58img, if so, is there a pg58img for 1.27hboot?

your phone wont be bricked as long as you got the right PG58IMG.zip ...but im wondering whether your recovery will be updated or not..as your bootloader is S-on now (but if you failed it wont screw up your phone....just remove the zip file after you've flashed to prevent bootloops)

what error did you get?
1.is the PG58IMG.zip didn't got recognized?

Hello everyone,
I’m a total rookie by the way and and have spent a decent amount of time reading on my own before posting anything here. I am wanting to flash cm9 on my sensation 4g. Based on some of the research I have done, before I can flash cm9 I first need to install stock ics in order to get the 3.32 firmware correct? I also thought I read somewhere that before I can update the firmware I first need to update the hboot version (currently my hboot is 1.17.1111) but now I can’t find where I read that.
As I’m reading some of the guides on how to flash these roms it seems like all of them are saying “make sure you have cwm recovery installed”. Well when I first rooted my phone I was watching some youtube videos and following the steps. For some reason the one I chose had me install teamwin recovery, so that is what I use instead of cwm recovery. Does that make any difference? Can I still update firmware and flash ics roms with twrp?

Get supercid,root,s-off and cwm after thats done first download your desired rom and also the 3.32 firmware first boot into recovery flash the rom..
Then when its done just power off hold volume down + power (make sure fastboot is disabled ) and update firm ware reboot delete the pg58img from root of your sdcard and voila!

well, you don't need to install the stock ics rom, but you need to flash the 3.32 firmware, that allows you to run ics roms...
I suggest you to install 4ext recovery, I don't know if you have to downgrade your hboot, mine was the right one and I don't know hot to do that, you'll find a guide or something like that on this forum...
if you have already rooted I think that you will not have any problem flashing a recovery or the fw...
and, my personal suggestion...if you want aosp experience flash aokp official rom, I tried both roms and aokp is more stock feeling

You have 1.17.1111 Hboot which tells me you are S-offed via Revolutionary. This means you can flash the 3.32 firmware that is linked in the ARHD ROM thread and then flash any Android 4.0.3 ROM you want to flash.
The Team win Recovery works just as good a Clockwork Mod Recoveryto me, 4EXT Recovery is my preferred re overy. You can use Team Win Recovery to flash any of the things you mentioned.

If you're comming back from a different base,
( cyanogenmod-> sense or the other way around- for example)
You may try to fully wipe your device, before restoring backup
and flashing boot.img
That is anyway what i do in case of troubles
Edit: Nowadays, custom roms- as they mature- are/may be using different bases...
very often even updates of that same rom differ so much,
that full wipe before update becomes our good habit,
and- in many cases- strongly advised practise
Try that all I have 3 HTC sensation , desire s and explorer and only desire make my day hard I find stock ruu try to flash tough fastboot system boot and recovery and than lock bootloader and factory reset or ruu setup and nothing I am so angry maybe I will only destroy this phone and walk away

Well, just calm down and start from skratch:
1.lock bootloader
2. Run RUU
A) check pc drivers
B) check if they ( phone and pc) see each other-when phone in fastboot mode
Running RUU is a procedure given to us for granted by manufacturer,
when all else fails- RUU must not, and ussualy does not....
If you- in th mean time- have upgraded bootloader- should find appropriate stock ruu
Belive me it's not my first time to use RUU and adb/fastboot commands but no help
I find only 3 ruu for Europe hboot is 2.00.0002 on this link if you have more pls give me link for other RUU

If you please, go to the help thread (you'll find it in Q&A)
Desire s HELP THREAD ask any question....
and ask about it there...
My b****y tab stopped pasting links- sorry,...
Anyway just go there and ask
Now the method of flashing is the same with all desire s phone. Not one of this device has another 'special' way of flashing.
There might be a small chance that u did the flash wrongly. I would suggest that u be specific(right down to the adb command) in the process when flashing the nandroid.
Any chance that u change the hboot since ur last nandroid?
If stock rom is all u wanted, we have many sense rom, even modded stock rom that has been clean(those require specific hboot though).
Now being being led to run a ruu. Are u s-off or unlock? if u are not sure check bootloader.
If you are unlock, check this out. Step 4 shows the the method of flash rom and boot.img from the fastboot.
I will try again I'm unlocked son 4ext classic recovery
