Hi guys, i have an HTC Sensation XE that has just updated to ICS 4.03.
The phone is a UK version unlocked unbranded never been rooted.
Im having some problems with ICS apps not working,some freezing etc.
Is there anyway i can go back to android 2.3.5 as this was stable for me ?
If you're S-ON then at this time you can't go back. That might change soon, though
Apps not working in ICS is a problem for the dev to sort out so get in touch with them to update the app(s) in question

I am having the same problem but i have S-OFF, could you tell me what i need to do to get back?
Cheers
If i was to make the phone s-off does it affect the warranty and how easy is it to do ? Cheers.
Technically it voids your warranty but it is reversible. However, you currently can't S-OFF the 1.27 HBOOT
To mimicuk - you need to first flash the lower FW and then go back to a GB-based ROM
Damn that's not good hope there is either updates or a solution to s-off or the Samsung S3 will be on the cards when its released.

good day every one new here on HTC sensation, just got mine yesterday, question is how to update my sensation to 2.3.4 is it through the settings>about phone>software update? or HTC has a pc software app for our updates? sorry for being a newbie on Sensation was just so used to using flashtools,seus,pccompanion coming from my experience on xperia X10i, and one more thing I think you can update through the phone but is it safe I mean is there a possibility that i can brick my phone through the software update in my phone and last but not the least if I updated to 2.3.4 do we have a working root method for it or should I wait for the ICS update heard it will come early 2012 for our Sensation was planning to s-off,root,clockwork etc but I was thinking of loosing the ability to update my phone if ever the ICS roll out will come and plus I think I'm risking my phone in bricking it heard that getting s-on is kinda delicate procedure, what do you think guys?
Its actually pretty easy to s back on boss, no worries
yes being that you havent rooted yet you will be able to ota update with the steps as described by yourself. with no risk of bricking So no worries there
You will not be able to get the ics ota once you root, but again no worries our devs here on XDA work hard and quick, im sure ICS will be ported through the many ROMS made for the sensation, more than likely BEFORE the "official" release date.
Summary: go ahead OTA to 2.3.4 (once you doit will be easier to s-off since most guides to s-off are made for 2.3.4)
Root and s-off your device because its awsome
get ICS before "by the book" consumers
@rddocke do you mean this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 is for 2.3.4? and one more question do i need to Super CID my Sensation even if it is factory unlocked or still needs to? to be able accept any kind of firmware image from anyone?

Hi,
First you must s-off HERE
For the recovery,use 5.0.2.0 HERE
Then ,get your ROM HERE
And use this guide HERE
A lot of work.
A lot of reading.
Do not skip ANY steps.
Read carefully,and you should be OK.
quick answer - there isn't an official ICS RUU yet, only beta ones
Can't go S-OFF. I'm on HBOOT 1.23, which is unsupported from revolutionary.
There is no official RUU? I thought HTC had released an Official RUU?!
Are there any beta RUU's?
Beta RUUs are in the Shipped-ROMs thread but come with HBOOT 1.27.0000 which you still can't S-OFF - you need to wait for Revolutionary to udpate to get S-OFF
I'm not able to flash an ICS Beta RUU?
My Sensation only have to run, I would like to sell it.
Can't sell it when it's broken x.x
And you can't sell it on a beta RUU either!!! That's just lying to get a sell!
I know.
But I will only that my phone works, maybe I can update in in a while to original and THAN I can sell it
or maybe, I can use it myself! That would be great.
But for now , there's no boot and no function.. I can't use my Sensation!

Still mo news I presume
Hi there, still no further news about the S-on 1.27.0000, 3.32.401.105 regarding possibilities to customize??
Greetings Gatsonides
Hi,
I normally do not like to start this kind of thread but I am getting a bit frustrated by T-mobile UK. My Sensation is full of known bugs and I wish that ICS will solve them.
Does anybody know if T-mobile UK will ever release ICS for the Sensation?
Do we know when that would be?
Sorry if it's a stupid question but I could not find anything on the web about it and T-Mobile could not help me either.

Hi Damien
If you are still on sense 3, your Hboot should still be on 1.18 or 1.17. If I were you I would get reading and S-off your phone and flash custom roms. Loads of fun as I am currently running Ordroid with sense 4. The guides are easy to follow!
ONCE T-mobile update your phone to ICS your Hboot will be on 1.27 and then your stuck on S-on (Unless you do hardware S-off's but cant be reversed) or until Revolutionary supports the 1.27 Hboot.
Just my opinion...
DEAR Brethren's,
I have come to you in a time of need.
I poses the mighty sensation xe, with an unlocked bootloader throught HTC Dev and it is S-ON.
I am currently running CM11. I was wondering in order to S-OFF the phone can I do it on the custom ROM ?
Or do I need to be stock.
PS. God Save the Queen.
