Alright guys I got s-off and thats about it. I want ics on my phone but once I update to the nnewest firmware and flash an ics rom it stays stuck on white HTC screen. I've had to use RUU twice because I can't load a recovery without updating firmware and once i do that my phone does not boot. Anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get ics on my sensation 4g?
Make sure you get SuperCID so the firmware update goes through. If you don't have SuperCID then it can look like it updated but it actually fails.
Once you get the firmware flashed properly, you have to delete or rename the firmware zip from your SD card so that you can access recovery.

I did that. super cid to 11111111 and to the latest firmware even tried it with the patch. I am able to go into recovery but everytime I flash any rom it stays stuck on the white HTC screen after I boot it up.
Sounds like you might be one of those unlucky users. Have you tried this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542555

The steps I used are...flash firmware 3.32 ,then superwipe( very important if coming from GB, then Rom this has seemed to work for me..
Also did you do a MD5 to check the file of the Rom to make sure it was the same?

The problem with this might be which version of htc sense was cooked into the Rom you are using. If you are using a android 4.0.3 rom with sense 3.5 then you need firmware package 3.12 because sense 3.5 needs HBOOT 1.23, and sense 3.6 needs HBOOT 1.27 so you would use the 3.24, 3.30, 3.32 but again it all depends on what the chef has built from if the chef used a 3.5 sense in the rom then that might be your issue.
If not try to just start over, completely format your sd card, then put your rom, supersipe, and firmware on sd card.
1. install firmware from recovery once installed pull battery out and remove sd to take off the firmware file,
2. reinstall sd card, boot phone into recovery- go to install from zip and run the superwipe script once it finishes it will reboot into recovery.
3. then install the rom of your choosing and see if that works.
I use the energy rom series and flashed over from GB using the instructions i found in that forum, it does get confusing if you have not do it a million times....hope this helps ICS is awesome...
I want to super wipe but I'm not sure which one to download. Also guys, I'm on stock tmobile usa rom. No custom rom

I used the super wipe from android revolution...u have to make sure it is a sensation superwipe though...if I were u I would head to the android development forum and there are step by step guides I have used android revolution and the energy Rom series both have pretty good instructions..pm if u need help it can get confusing...also when u flashed firmware were you still on stock GB Rom?

Stock is not needed.
You need to ensure that F/W and ROM are compatible. I.e. ICS 1.27.xxxx F/W WILL NOT work with a GB ROM, and GB 1.17.xxxx WILL NOT work with ICS.
Flash the F/W, if not already done. Can't remember what you are on.
SuperWipe (from Mike's ARHD thread).
Flash your chosen ICS ROM.
Pop out the SD card, reboot insert and then delete the PG58IMG.zip ONLY if you flashed the F/W.
Deep joy.

This is the guide I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Apparently I need 4EXT to install ARHD. So since I followed steps 1-4 and have S-off, CWM, root and Super-CID, will it be ok to install 4EXT touch even though I already have CWM installed?
Yep, get the 4EXT app and it will install the Recovery
Yes, it will overwrite the CWM.

Thanks for all the answers I think I will most likely stick with the stock rom tho just because I like the Gingerbread look better than the ICS look. And If I do want to upgrade to ICS It will still be available to me.
You can go ARHD gingerbread. And it will definitely run super fast than the stock.

Hmm Well is their a high chance of a brick or my phone being stuck at reboot? That is my problem with custom roms. I had a Motorola Defy and 2 out of 7 times the rom I installed actually worked. This is a brand new phone and I really dont wanna have to ask T-mobile for a replacement in the first month of use :x
Check out this thread if you need further help flashing 4ext touch recovery (use 4ext recovery touch flashing tool posted). Also there are the guidelines to update to an ICS ROM

Stuck in reboot? Is it like the phone is keep on restarting? Like a loop?
If that's the case, then the rom is not compatible with the firmware or vice versa. There is a specific firmware version that you can use for specific roms, its usually indicated on the OP of the rom what thinga that you should use.
As long as you read and understand everything before you do the process then the phone will run fine.

I've tried the following and it worked as well:
- stock HTC GB rooted (Revolutionary S-OFF) with latest CWM installed
- flashed the 3.32 firmware
- executed superwipe script within CWM
- then flashed ARHD 6.5.x with CWM (u don't get the options to chose kernel for example, only works in 4Ext Recovery)
- as ARHD 6.5.x comes with 4EXT Touch Recovery I rebooted to recovery after ROM was flashed -> 4EXT Recovery is loading
- I flashed ARHD again from 4EXT (this time the options during install show up)
conclusion: if u accidently flashed ARHD with CWM it shouldn't be a problem. it works, but u don't get to choose some options during install (like choosing kernel). but as ARHD comes with 4EXT (at least the latest ARHD versions) u should have 4EXT Recovery installed then and u can simply reflash the ROM to be able to choose between the different options during install.
but of course the recommended way is to install 4EXT recovery before flashing.
So last question, can I follow the guide for S-off, Root and CWM and super CID and First S-off and then install 4EXT Touch by flashign tool and then root and supercid? And then flash the 3.32 firmware for ARHD 6.5.1 and then install ARHD with 4EXT? Will this work?

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.

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.

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
Hello everybody
I have HTC Sensation with original(no custom rom) ICS 4.0.3 and Hboot 1.27 version, i want to delete stock programs, which i don't need. I tried with revolutionary.io to root but it says that Hboot version is incompatible. So what can i do now? Is there any solution?
By the way, root and S-off is the same thing?

no root and soff are different
check for soff at hboot
deleting stock programs are difficult but with titanium backup you can freeze the system apps at least afaik
So what i must do to be able to delete stock programs? S-off or root?
You need s-off to delete apps as you are editing /system. However you can flash a custom rom which will install without all the junk apps. You need to unlock with HTC.dev then root. Be aware this has limitations, you cannot flash firmwares or use advanced fastboot commands. S-off is superior.
If you decide the flash, I recommend sharpy strpt cm9 - 8 apps when flashed!

You are already rooted. All the custom roms are rooted also supersu is the app which manage the root privilages so you are rooted.also I guess you have complete unlocked bootloader and soff
Which are required for custom Rom installation.
(Verify these on bootloader you'll have revolutionary in pink and soff when you boot into bpootloader)
For stable Rom I reccomend ARHD

Unfortunately you cant S-off your phone right now, only with HTCDev, but this will not give you a proper S-off. You will have to wait untill Juopunutbear is released, this will give you proper S-off and allow you to do everything with your phone.
1. Need to Unlock Bootloader at http://htcdev.com/
2. After the download is complete Unlock Bootloader Recoverymanager file on the new computer to run on the DC Recover
Note: The above must be on the phone setting -> application -> On the next Unkown Sources and Development -> USB Debugging pop up
After the download is complete Recoverymanager file to extract, open up the program, press start, select download recovery, select HTC Sensation, select CWM 5.0.2.0 (pyramid) and click download and flash
After the show flash inflate a screen that asks Yes, No, cancel. Make sure you select No, the phone will reboot into recovery. If you choose the other 2 will not install.
After running Recovery may be normal in nhe1 thats alright.
3. After installation is complete you use CWM file attached to root su: in recovery, select the file and select install from zip file Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip.
Is this method also valid for S-ON ?
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.
