Hi, after I updatet my Sensation ota (1.35.401.1) I have some problems with it. The update circle (the two arrows formed as a circle) on the top is there all the time, and my screen frezes alot. I tried a hard reset, did not help and I called HTC and they think something went wrong with the innstall of the update. My Sensation is s.on so can I use a goldcard? I made one to a Desire once, worked great. I also see that s-off is maybe comming this week, maybe just wait for that and innstall a custom rom after s-off??
Gold card won't work with sensation. Try to flash again using official RUU. Heads over to dovelepor section and download one which matches your CID.

Like the titles says, I bought a rooted phone from someone and it's messing up so now I'd like to take it back to factory settings 100% with the latest update, and unrooted as well. I'm currently frustrated to be honest...I've been trying to do this for the last 6 hours and it's not working out.
Recently my number has not been showing up when I call people it just shows as withheld/unknown, and also when people call me it always shows their numbers as unknown even if they are saved in my phone already. I was told at T-Mobile these problems are just part of the version software I'm running on my phone and I should update it.
I've tried doing the latest update through the phone and it will restart then be stuck on the screen with the little green guy sitting under a triangle with a orange exclamation mark inside of it. I took it to T-Mobile and they tried to install the latest software and eventually (after many times trying to update it) said I just need to go home and find the latest software update and install it via my computer to bring it back to 100% normal as they cannot do it without it being hooked up to my computer.
Where can I even download the latest firmware/whatever it's called and how would I do the updating with the phone connected to my computer? Is there a guide I can be linked to to explain updating rooting/unlocking/etc all in one thread?
If there are any specific threads that already have this information please link me, I haven't found anything that helps me thus far! Thanks ahead of time for your help with this everyone!
Try this good luck

Thanks for the link and attempting to help me but I've just gone to start that process and I already have a problem with it. My HBOOT version is not listed on the websites supported HBOOT versions.
I have 1.17.1111 and it's not on the list of HBOOT versions, there is only a 1.17.0011. So what should I do now?
I need to unroot and uninstall anything that would effect this process firstly (I'm not sure how to do that either). I want to do a total wipe of everything and uninstall all modifications to phone as well, then I want to re-do the best ones. So I will need to be linked to a guide to do these as, obviously, I'm one of those stupid needy nubs roaming the forums. Also, how would I go about finding and downloading the latest t-mobile update (Android 2.3.4 / software version 1.50.531.1) for this phone? The guys at the store said there was a new one that just came out and that I'd need to download it and install it via computer.
Hello
The first thing you are gonna do is write supercid follow this link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 - step 4
This is so you can flash any RUU, you want and not to brick your device.
After that find the a RUU that matches your phone company : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
After that run it on your phone. When you have done that, you should be non-rotted, stock recovery(means that you can install updates from HTC), but you are still S-off. Now this is a very tricky a dangerous thing to do.
I have done it before, and I did it exactly as I am telling you to do. Now click on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
And go to step 5, and do as exactly it says, when done, you should be s-ON and now your phone should be as It was new
That is what I did and nothing went wrong, but don't blame me if something goes wrong
Nvm, I think I might have it now.

Okay, I can do the above if you could tell me where I can get TMOUS_1.45.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208218_signed.exe downloaded, or even the newest 1.50.531.1
I followed the links on there until it sends you to filefactory.com and gives you a SUPER slow download. I have a 16mb connection and it's downloading at 20kb/s which is going to make this take 4 hours as this is 389mb to grab this replacement.
Can you tell me of another place where I could download this where it allows faster downloads without having to pay for a membership to get this update?

You need to download RUU Tmobile version 1.29 and then update your way up to 1.50.531.1

Yeah, I finally got it to 1.50. It took a lot of trial and error and reading and re-reading though. I'm just happy its done finally now.
What's the best app to back up my phone like it is right now before I start trying to do other things to it?
What are considered the must have apps for the Sensation currently, or what are the coolest ones?
Can you add the beats audio to the regular Sensation? Or will it even effect the quality?

Hi all
I just wanted to make this post to make sure I know the exact process before I go ahead with this. Let me give you a little background....
I got a T-Mobile branded Desire S about 8 months ago and left it completely stock, after a while had an OTA update and from then on had constant problems with not receiving txts etc. So I S-offed and rooted with the RevX website and manually updated the radio to the latest version I could find. This fixed all my problems and everything was fine for months but then one day the phone just froze and without reading up too much I just started pressing buttons to reset/pulled the battery etc and ended up killing the phone completely.
Fast forward to now and I've just got a replacement phone but it has the older software on again so I'm not receiving txt messages again. I guess I need to update the radio image again to sort it but was hoping someone could let me know the exact process.
I assume I should use the RevX website again to S-Off/root then install CWM and the updates but which order and which versions should I be installing? I want to get it right up to date with 3.3.5 and sense 3.0 but not one of the custom ROMs.
Really appreciate anyone who takes the time to answer so thanks in advance.
First of all, please post stuff like this in Q&A. Secondly alpharevx is outdated now. Use revolutionary to S-OFF.
But now I'm confused. Do you want to update the radio and then S-ON again and get the latest update, or install a stock rom?
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
Well ideally I'd like to not need to do anything! but at the moment I don't receive txt messages so I need to get it working. I don't want to use custom roms anyway so just need to upgrade to the latest official version.
If I understand correctly from what I've read I should use revolutionary to s-off then a program to root the phone. Then I could install 4ext and then install one of the 3.3.5 versions that works on a s-off/rooted phone and then finally update the radio to the version that works with 3.3.5?
Been reading up a little more and I will be using revolutionary to s-off the phone but should I install the recovery that comes with that? I assume this is CWM? Can I then overwrite it with 4ext if I want to?

Yes, you can.
Hey guys. I've got a rooted HTC sensation XE running on clockwork recovery mod and I was just wondering whether I'll be able to update my phone when I get the official ICS update from HTC? This may have been posted a few times, but I didn't find anythig that was accurately answerig my question. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: After hours of thinking, browsing and getting help from others, I have finally successfully updated my phone to the new ICS. Special thanks to SquithyX.
If you have any doubts, feel free to ask me.

No you can't.. After you update you will get Wifi Error due to kernel mismatch..
there is a fix for this too in Dev forum..
Hi IceCookies, don't listen to the other poster on this thread, they are just scaremongering!
If your XE is Stock 1.73.401.4 and the only thing you have done is flash clockwork and root...then with one change you can with ease, i did my XE last night - official OTA push and my mates XE this morning using files on sd card.
You NEED to have the stock recovery, CWM will not work. Easiest way to get stock for XE is to install Recovery Manager from on here.
Then you can either wait for the OTA push to your phone or download the file from the HTC servers and push it yourself.
Noted so far, ICS is MUCH faster and more responsive. After update you should still be s-off too!
Hope this helps mate, if you want any more help let me know and will guide you through

It worked great for me to just rename the .zip to update.zip and install it using CWM.
I had to install the newest hboot found here on xda, though, otherwise the OS would get stuck in the middle of the boot process...

As for you my friend, I've already tried pushing in the update myself through CWM and it didn't quite work out.
Okay, so guys, I've tried to push in the OTA update myself. I flashed the stock ROM(I think). But the problem is my software number is 1.73.415.3. And I can't get it to flash back to Stock.
Ok, is you phone branded to any network? What is your CID? You can find out using terminal or CID getter from the market, it sounds like you have a branded phone.
You can still have the OTA flash but will need a few more steps before being able to flash it
No, my phone is not branded by any phone carrier if that's what you mean. The phone didn't have to be unlocked or anything by the carrier. When I got the phone it was stock and unlocked and ready to use. Now, whenever I try to install the new OTA update, it says installation aborted(Status 7).
I'll get you the CID now, gimme a sec.
Btw, you got msn or something so you can help me through instant messaging?
Yea it will as the OTA update is only for 1.73.401.4 which is EU default firmware. Whats your CID? From the looks of it, CID is something like HTC__J15 (just a guess).
What you will need to do is to change your CID to either EU WWE CID (HTC__001) or to SuperCID (11111111) Then flash 1.73.401.4 then you can upgrade with the OTA files.
Get CID Getter (free) from the Market / Play Store and it will show you your CID, or if you have Terminal installed use "su" then "getprop ro.cid" to find out what your CID is.
Alright dude, my CID is HTC_J15.
But see, the update for ICS will soon come to the middle east, and I'm guessing the default firmware for the middle east is the one that I stated above. So should I actually degrade to the EU firmware and then install my country's ICS update?
Now that my friend is up to you, if you change your CID to SuperCID you can install any and all firmwares, be them EU, Middle East, China, or even branded ones such as AT&T, O2, Bell... (not sure why you would want to though!) Or using the EU WWE CID will let you install any WWE ROM.
If you don't mind waiting for the OTA update for the Middle East to be rolled out then just sit tight and when HTC are ready your phone will tell you, should be about 1-2 weeks tops i suspect. The OTA update out at present is only for EU WWE ROMS.
But...if you NEED / want the OTA update now, then you will have to change your CID and install the EU WWE ROM.
The EU one is not a downgrade, HTC use different version numbers to target there updates, the ROMS with be almost identical. Its just like all the versions numbers are different for all the branded ROMS.
Ah alright. But bro, if I wait and get the update directly from HTC, will I still need to unroot and go back to stock from clockwork mod to install the official update?
You will have to have stock recovery and stock ROM, root doesn't matter, you can de-root or just leave it and after the OTA Update you can re-root.

Alright buddy, but I'm having a hard time finding the Stock ROM, tried google'ing and stuff.
I should get the software number to be 1.73.403.3 and then install the stock ROM, and after that install the OTA or is there an easier way?
First off you will need to change the CID on your phone to either SuperCID (1111111) or EU WWE CID (HTC_001) - I left my as EU WWE CID as it is the most used CID for custom ROMS.
Then install the Stock ROM (1.73.401.4) - That will also give you the stock recovery
From there you can install the OTA Update and have ICS
Alright, this might be a really nooby thing to do, but could you link me or tell me where to get the EU WWE CID?
Okay mate, I have successfully changed my CID to SuperCID(11111111). Now I just need to install the Stock ROM.
Ok, here you go:
1. Set your CID using this guide (part4)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
You can either use CID HTC__001 or 11111111
2. The flash file for EU WWE ROM is:
RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed.exe
You can find it here:
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/
3. Update using OTA update from HTC server:
http://fotadl.htc.com/OTA_PYRAMID_L...73.401.4_P_release_246589q3t6rh79ci68p68k.zip
Or use your own files if you have them.
Hope this helps you out
Ah, sweet. I already have the OTA update downloaded. Trying to download the flash file for the EU WWE ROM now, but it keeps saying the free download spots on the servers are currently in use, so I guess I gotta wait.
EDIT: Nvm, googled the EU WWE ROM, and found the same ones on some other sites, in progress of downloading them now.
Hi guys this is my first thread so i hope i have posted in the correct section, and posted the right info.
a couple of days ago, i bought a HTC Sensation XE off of a online website.
it is an unlocked phone, and i am using it on telstra.
the reception on it was poor, so i thought i might flash a x.xx.401.xx baseband to it, and see what happened.
so i unlocked the bootloader with HTC Dev. then i flashed clockwork recovery mod 5.0.0.2.0 onto it using ADB. i then flashed Android Revolution HD 6.6.3 onto my phone. this was without it being S-OFF and it was not rooted.
i was really excited, but none of the features i had hoped for came with it (likely because i wasnt rooted) so i decided to flash a stock ICS rom onto it.
so, i have done all of that.... AND NOW MY WIFI DOESNT WORK!!!!! I LOVE MY WIFI! when i try to turn the wifi on, it just says "error", to the left of the on/off toggle at the top of the settings screen..
any ideas on how to fix it?
please help to try and fix it

It's probably the HTC-DEV unlock that made this error. Try to unlock your phone (bootloader) via the Revolutionary method. Then reflash the firmware (last one). And finally, flash your favorite rom. This will solve your problem. Feel free to post additional questions.
Read those topics:
Guide for s-off, root, flash, ...
Solve wifi errors
i cant flash it via revolutionary.... my hboot is 1.27.0000
sorry, i mean unlock by revolutionary.
also, now that i check, my gps does not work correctly, so i am assuming this means i have the wrong radio flashed onto my device? any suggestions?
Maybe radio or kernel but if you have an HTC RUU (original rom) this won't happend. So it's most likely a wrong unlock bootloader error, if this means something. Have you tried to unlock the bootloader via htc-dev again? Maybe you should use the new way to s-off (unlock bootloader), the one called jaggerbear or something like that (have a look in the dev section).
