[Q] System update 1.45.162.1

So I got the notification that there's a Software update for my HTC Sensation; 1.45.162.1 (41.09MB) - Android 2.3.
I'm rooted via Revolutionary and still on original Vodafone (NL) stock ROM... However the update doesn't work for me. All I see is the green Android with a Triangle and an exclamation mark in it....
So after some search it seems that some other people have this issue, but that was in the tread for the 1.45.401.2 update....
Now what I would like to know now is this; Do I really need to go back to S-ON or is there any other way to get this update?
I'm asking this as going back to S-ON might brick the phone and also as I don't seem to find the original ROM in this thread.
Also, this as the instruction on this page clearly says:
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..... I'm kinda lost now and I'm wondering how to proceed?? Would someone enlighten me?
THANKS!

as far as the US TMO update..you just had to be on the stock rom. You'll still keep S=OFF. And I'm still S=OFF after the update.

Ok... Strange... Any idea why I got stock on the green Android with a Triangle and an exclamation mark in it? The only way I can use my phone is to remove the battery and then it starts again, but it seems that it hasn't been updated.

If you backed up your original stock ROM w/ CWR, then restore in recovery.
Then run the update.

But I'm already running stock rom... All I've done is rooted my phone and removed some bloatware such as The Sims, Soundhound etc. But that wouldn't be the problem would it?

Did you change your CID ?

Unroot & make sure you have your stock recovery...not cwm recovery. You'll lose root regardless when you update but you can re-root afterward.

Yes, I did. However I'm not sure if that's still the case as I've used CWM to put back the original stock rom after I didn't like a custom ROM.
How can I check if I still have Super CID?
EDIT: I can confirm that my CID is 11111111. After exploring the forums I also have tried to install the updates with the following CID's as well;
HTC__E11 + VODAPE17.
However without any luck!

EDIT: I do have the first backup (made using CWM) which I made before I rooted and changed my CID. But that's not what you mean? This as this is the first backup I made from my device.
Ok... I'm fine with that BUT:
I don't seem to find the original ROM in this thread.
I do see Vodafone's UK, France and 3 HTC Europe Roms... So not quite sure what to choose?
This as the instruction on this page clearly says:

Is there any other way I can install the updates?
And will I have the same problem in the future as well, with other upcoming updates?
THANKS!

I think it's strange that OTA vodaphone 1.45.162.1 gets pushed to your phone if you have set Super CID, because OTA is based on CID. I had to change CID after I unbranded my phone(installing stock RUU HTC EUR), to get OTA 1.45.401.2.
It should work when you set CID to 'VODAPE17', or maybe the problem is the phone being unlocked, you should have chec.ked before using revolutionary that an RUU was available to restore your original rom..
At last try to restore your first backup, and set CID to 'VODAPE17'.
Also try to download the OTA file on your phone and copy it to your computer.

As far as I know I haven't unlocked my phone... All I have done is the following:
- Rooted via Revolutionary
- Installed CWM
- Made a backup
- Made sure I had Perm root access
- Set the super CID.
Yeah... I know.. I should have done so, but I was too excited I guess...

That I can try! Thanks.
So I've downloaded the OTA file and I think I understand why the VODAPE17 doens't work. The update is called: "OTA_Pyramid_Vodafone_DE_1.45.162.1-1.35.162.1_release_208996.zip".
So I'm going to try with Vodafone DE CID and see if I can update!
Will keep you updated!
UPDATE: No, even with CID set to VODAP102 I can't get the update installed.
So I extracted the zip file and went through the files and saw a file called: updater-script.
I opened this file and saw the following lines:
assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" ,
"22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444" , "55555555" , "66666666" ,
"77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "VODAP102" , "VODAPE17" ,
"VODAP304") == "t");

Now... I already have tried all the 3 Vodafone CID and the super cid is 11111111. Should I check the rest as well or what can I do?

This worked for me.....

Hi - I had exactly the same issue as you - it turned out that the OTA will not run if you are S-OFF, I had to go back to S-ON and then install the OTA, then go back to S-OFF.
Worked a treat - then I decided that I didn't like stock and installed a ROM - lol

Hmm... I see... So there's no chance that I can install this while having S-Off? Even not with CWM?
Also, would restore to factory setting do the trick as well? (Instead of using RUU?)

ok don't worry abt the S=OFF .. its ok.. You need to find the RUU of the rom that originally shipped on your phone. Run it via your pc with your phone connected and then do the update.
You may have to set your CID back to the original... I did but I didn't test it with 11111111 first.

Is there any way to figure out which rom was originally shipped and the CID on my phone?
Running the RUU shouldn't be a problem as I've done that a couple of time when I wanted to install EnergyROM on my old TP2.
Thanks.

so where is asian update ? i'm stell waiting but it didnt come
one question, my device is rooted now, can i update ?

That's what I did and I was running 1.35.162.1.
While searching the forum and Google and checking the OTA update I noticed that I needed to have RUU of Vodafone DE (Hence the 162 code in my software information).
At some point I came across a website which had posted the "latest" RUU for Vodafone De; RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_DE_1.27.162.1_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15_M_release_191975_signed.
So I downloaded the file and ran it. After this I searched for any OTA updates and I could download 1.35.162.1. I was able to download and install this without any problems.
After a restart I searched again for any other updates and I could download the latest version which is 1.45.162.1! Again, I was able to download and install this update without any problems! =)
So I guess everything is just working right! Luckily I'm still S-OFF and some how the phone seems to be MUCH faster then it used to be!! So I'm all happy again!
THANKS again for your help and everyone else!!

So wait...you were able to install it with all the custom mods like clockwork recovery s-off and root?? I tried installing the update but it wouldn't install assuming because I had the custom recovery not stock. Can someone clarify? I have a t Mobile branded sensation also. Thanks

Not quite...
I was only able to install the OTA updates after I run the original RUU... Without it I wasn't able to install as well.
A lesson which I learned today is that you need to flash to the original RUU before you can install the OTA's.
Hope this helps.

Glad to see you managed to sort it out, just curious, what is your hboot version now ?

[Q] OTA Update 2.3.5 India

Hey
It seems OTA is of no use for Rooted Phone.
Where do i download and upgrade to 2.3.5 + HTC Sense 3.0 ? (manually)

Just change your hboot to 0.98.2000 and the update will be fine.
The more safe way is to flash an older RUU to go back to stock and then update OTA

I downgraded my HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG8810000) using the sticky link. OTA still doesnt work. Stucks at a white screen with Droid near a Warning Triangle!
I had HTC Desire S 2.3.3 Sense 2.1. Rooted + SOFF using Revolutionary method. I've read almost all post on Unrooting / S-on . The main post itself has been removed and 100s of post following with people trying random stuff.
Any suggestions?

I didn't know that you have already applied the OTA
Since you have the 0.98.2000 hboot download this RUU (which is for Asia-India and I suppose that is your version) and run it on your PC with USB connected phone. This should give you the previous version and complete Stock/S-ON. Then check for OTA update from the settings.
If the RUU says that your current version is higher and cannot proceed, you should have to flash a custom recovery (download and extract this zip file) flash extracted recovery.img from fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery {path to file}/recovery.img
, reboot to recovery, get root access through adb shell and use the misc_version from this thread (point 1) to change your version to 1.47.720.1. Then the RUU will work.
If you have troubles post back I will describe step by step what to do.
And remember - do not pull the battery in any case!

It worked!
The software version was already 1.47.720.1
Everything went perfect and smooth. You rock mate!
Applied OTA, and now i'm back on stock 2.3.5.
I realized HBOOT 2.00.0002 is not supported by Revolutionary for S-OFF and Rooting. Any other way? or if i want to have root I need to flash back to 2.3.3 stock revolutionary root and then install available pre-rooted stock rom?

Nice to know that you managed.
If you need root you can unlock your new 2.00.0002 hboot on htcdev.com I think there is a guide in the forum, search for it.

Hey please relax
HTC is pushing the update to a limited number of devices daily to avoid overloading of their server. Keep checking and you will receive it it the next couple of days.
The other possibility is that you version is older. Check it from your phone settings, if it is different that 1.47.720.1 you should use the RUU linked in post #4 and then you will receive the OTA. Keep in mind that the RUU will delete your data so make a Google backup.
Also if you phone is S-OFFed with Revolutionary you will have to change the hboot (see posts above).
Good luck

and phone got stuck at HTC White Screen with Green Logo for 20 minutes. Then i removed battery and restart Phone. Checked its still S-ON + Not Rooted. Phone is working as well.
Repeated second time. almost same message. Again stuck at white screen. still S-ON.
I have posted this on original thread as well. Hoping for a quick reply

Have you formatted the SD card before doing this?
Read the whole thread there were other users with the same problem and I think you will find the solution

Hi
I did formatted my card. btw Method pops-up an error message on windows : "Device is S-ON" if i run from windows (ir reboots in bootloader).
It shows no error if i boot into bootloader before starting the flashing utility.
Nevertheless No result. Device is still S-ON. and When i try to go to recovery, Phone gets stuck at white screen. Does that mean it has flashed recovery and the recovery is not supported kinda (maybe old). Maybe thats why It was going to white screen after flash and going again if i manually choose recovery from bootloader.

The device will remain S-ON. With HTC unlock you are able to flash recovery, kernel and even custom ROM. S-ON means that you cannot flash hboot and radio, but I do not think that you will need this in the near future (your hboot and radio are now the latest after the OTA)
Maybe you are on the right direction thinking that the recovery may be incompatible. So try this one - it is for Desire S. Extract the image and flash with Android Flasher

That did not work as well! Same getting stuck at white screen.
Then I gave a shot to CWM Recovery http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager Took the desire s one an VOILA!!! It worked in a second. Weird!
Anyways its S-ON + Rooted now.
1 quick (probably last), If i can do almost everything from Custom ROM etc, means I can now install TITANIUM Backup and get all my previous apps from backup right? No issues at all
I'd only need S-OFF to change HBOOT + Radio (I dont care). If i need to in future, I hope thats easy as well, right?
Your signature terrifies me about Sudden Death for Devices which were never S-OFFed! >.<

Now you can use everything that requires root without a problem. Just remember if you want to install a Custom ROM you should flash the kernel separately.
About changing HBOOT and RADIO there is a downgrade guide here that can give you S-OFF back when you need it in future.
And about my signature - the most Desire S are dying when pulling out the battery, so keep that in mind and you will be fine.

You are amazing, thanks!
Ill try it as fast as i can.

Thank you, this cured my boot loop.

I just posted this over on the ARHD thread. Do you think that this maybe my case? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
About a week ago I SuperCID my phone. I then went to load a ICS ROM. I have not been able to get my phone to do anything but startup into HBOOT and/or Recovery. I either was getting stuck in a boot loop or would get the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen. I spent the whole weekend on the forums and still no luck. I was hoping someone could see something that I maybe doing wrong. The one issue that I know is wrong is the Radio version needed for ARHD is 11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M. I tried to use a program called Android Flasher to load the correct radio but I don't think that that occurred. Below is all the information that I can gather.
TMOUSA Sensation 4G
On HBOOT Screen:
Revolutionary
Pyramid PVT SHIP S-Off RL
HBOOT - 1.27.1100

Firstly - you HAVE to be running 1.50.401.1 to use this OTA file. and 1.17 firmware If you're on ANY other build it wont work
firmware can be found here for 1.17
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
You also have to be 100% stock (e.g. NOT rooted). If you are running a custom ROM you HAVE to use the http://www.4shared.com/file/risaQet4/RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1454012.htm RUU to get back to stock but you HAVE to leave the phone S-OFF.
I made my CID HTC__001 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 "step 4" i used HTC__001
1. You're now running stock gb 2.3.3 with Sense 3.0
2. download the 3.32.401.5 OTA file from HTC http://www.4shared.com/zip/SKaYUBFP/OTA_Euro_3324015.html . You do NOT have to rename the file
3. Select the option to apply an update from your SD card and then select the OTA file
4. turn phone on load it all the way UPDATE IT WITH O.T.A 2X FIRST IS NOTHING SECOND IS 1.50 AND WILL LET YOU UPDATE TO 3.32
5. find file from step from 2
6. Copy the file to the root of your SD card
7. Turn your phone off and turn it back on whilst holding the volume down button.
8. Select 'Recovery' from the menu to enter the stock Recovery. If CWM loads up, stop now and flash the RUU again
9. When you get to the screen with the red ! on it, hold volume up and press power. It will say 'cant open cache/recovery/command' and then bring up the recovery menu
7. Wait the 10 minutes or so for it to flash
8. When prompted, reboot the phone
above was edited form poster as to what i did
12. onec you flash the 3.32.401.5 OTA file from sd card

I know with the RUU that the phone has to be up and running. Is there a way to run the RUU if the phone can only be loaded into HBOOT or recovery?

Yeah ruu will run in fastboot make sure you have no IMG files

Here's where I'm at now. I cannot update to 1.50 because HTC complains of a "Variant System Version" when I try to do the 1.50 OTA. I simply cannot figure out any way around this. My recovery is stock, CID is HTC__001 as you mentioned, and I can't move forward because I can't get this 1.50 installed.

Ran the RUU, let the phone boot up, checked for updates, update fails with the error I mentioned above.
I do not have the XE, just the regular Virgin Sensation. I had Virtuous 3.0.0 on there before but was trying to upgrade to 4.0.0 and got the boot loop after upgrading the firmware.
Would it not be easier just to RUU straight to 1.50?

So I decided to run an old'ish ICS Pyramid RUU I had lying around that I *knew* worked previously, RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.06.401.101_Radio_11.59.3504.00U_11.16.3504.16_M_test_231336.
Then I flashed recovery, latest 3.32 firmware, did superwipe & virtuous 4.0.0. Everything works perfect!

Well if you don't have a xe the ruu should not have worked hmmmm yeah you can run Thu to 150 but all the ones I downloaded didn't work with bootloops

Bricked and confused

Hello,
I recently bricked my Sensation. It is an unbranded with CID 102.
After several tries to get it to ICS 4.0.3 I left my device useless, at first it boots every 15 seconds and remains stuck in cont. reboots. After fullwipe it hangs at HTC bootlogo for 15 min and more.
I´ve used revolutionary 0.4 an I managed to get full permanent root with htcsupertoolv3.
Clockwork is installed.
In recover I am unable to mount everything, it will just not mount - updates will stop after 1 sec. Log says, it can´t access certain directories.
Most of the partitions won´t mount such as cache partition sd-ext, it will always say error monuting cache, error mounting ...
I can´t flash anything at all, the PG58IMG will go allright at first sight, but afterwards it won´t boot.
Anything I can do at this point?
]
Thx in advance.

Well I can tell you it's not bricked, if you can access hboot/recovery, so good sign I hope have you tried running an RUU?
Sent from my Sensation using XDA

Yes, I have. It will run and finsih with no errors. Still no boot and no mounts.
Tried tis: RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_R_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_228602_signed.exe
Also I have CID 1111111

Yeah it definitely isn't bricked, I'll see if I can quickly come up with a solution!
1. I need some more info first, did you flash an ICS rom before running that P58IMG.zip? or were you on gingerbread (Android 2.3 - sense 3.0)?
2. according to what you've said, you can't mount your SD card at all in the recovery?? (that sounds so weird) - So I'm assuming you can't flash roms or anything? It doesn't make sense because you can still flash the P58IMG.zip...
3. Have you tried flashing the old P58IMG? The older firmware 1.17? If worse comes to worst... This last method should fix it. An RUU Should also fix what error you have going on right now as well! Let us know how it goes!

1) I was on Gingerbread and HTC Sense 3.0 and I followed the guides step by step - first I did all OTA updates
2) I can access SD-Card it, but every firmware will fail, in hboot it will went through but in recovery it will stop at 0%
3) Yes, I tried every versions available

After checking multiple forums I did below steps, sounds unusual but worked perfectly for me, you may want to try this at your own risk:
1. Used htc dev unlock method and then using 4ext recovery formatted all partitions except sdcard
2. Installed custom rom Android Revolution HD 3.6.13, which is a 2.3.4 rom as no other 2.3.x worked, can be downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14191938&postcount=1as 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 I did 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 , I am relocked, S-ON and on STOCK with OTA installing without problem

Thank you, that did the trick.
I am now on stock ROM. Everything ok. It took quite a while, but thx again for help.
To be sure not to mess up again, what to do next? I am confused about the size of the roms, are they really such small (14 MB)?
And what does that mean: "Best way is to place Firmware PG58IMG.zip, ROM and Superwipe script on the root of your SD Card."
Where to get the "ROM" ans "Superwipe script"

a ROM will be much bigger than 14mb so what you have its wrong. You can get super wipe from Mikes Android revolution thread. And putting it on the root of sd card means on the sd card and NOT in any folders. Can't post links for you sorry. I'm on mobile version

So this is what I try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Step 3) The Firmware PG58IMG.zip is 14MB, so I put it on root. It also contains the wipe.zip file
But what about the "ROM"? Sorry, I´ve flashed nearly every Windows based HTC in the past years, but all Win Mobiles ROMS are only at one piece, but this I just don´t get it worked on android.
So far my unit ist rooted an has CID 11111 and 4ext installed.
Ok, I just found the links here:

[Q] I may have bricked my phone. Help please

Here's what happened. I was using internet-pass-through with my Sensation XE for me download games and saw in my notifications that there's an available system update which is the android 4.0, etc. I downloaded the file and installed it but right after i got stucked with picture of an android and beside it is a exclamation point in a triangle. I removed the batt and turned on the phone and nothing happened, nothing new. So, I searched in youtube and saw a way of updating ICS in my phone. My phone had S-off but still using Stock rom. I entered the bootloader then CWM then formatted the system, cache, then tried to update to ICS since i got the zip file already in my SDcard. After then, the installation was aborted, it says cannot fine system/build.prop or something. I rebooted my fone and I got stucked up with the HTC logo and white screen. Omg please help me.

Please help me. :'(

To get Ota update working you need the stock unrooted rom and stock recovery.
Best is to make a backup of your apps and data (not system data) and run an official RUU to revert it back to stock unrooted, then update with OTA.
After upgrading to ICS you can flash CWM or 4EXT recovery and root again.

Sorry sir but I'm so newbie at this. I already made a backup of my apps and data. The question is, how am I gonna run an official RUU? Like use the CWM? Cause that's the only thing my phone can do right now, and sir, where can I find an official RUU for my phone? Please and thank you so much. You're currently saving my newly bought fone, as in I just bought it yesterday.

Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559 You can find the ruu file, just pick, the right one (if You have non-branded senation I think you should pick something like this:
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223042_signed.exe
RUU_Pyramid_HTC - this is Your phone (sensation is pyramid)
Europe - europe means that Your phone is non-branded (if You have branded phone You should pick Your brand - Vodaphone, orange, etc)
1.50.401.1 - this is version of firmware - 401.1 is sensation and 401.101 is sensation xe
next numbers are radio version, etc,
just remember to install ruu with release word in the name (do not install test).
Ruu is an exe application for windows. Just download it, run it, plug your phone and do whatever it says.
You're welcome

Thank you so much! Btw. I will still plug my phone to computer and run the RUU? Not like run the RUU thru CWM? Cause I can't open the phone, remember? Well. Thanks and I'm about to try it. Sorry I'm noob but I'm learning.

And oh, btw. I upgraded my firmware to 3.32 and flashed darkforest ICS 6.1.0 and I think it worked but I'm gonna stick to the OTA ICS update. How am I going to do that? Downgrade my firmware to 1.17 and is it automatically unrooted? Then, flash original RUU then update OTA. Is this correct?

RUN RUU!
RUU is what You want to run.
After RUU you'll have a stock gingerbread. Then check for updates (in phone) and you'll have Your OTA.
