Need help with ICS upgrade from HTC

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

Hey guys, a question about rooting.

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....

[Q] root + official ics = bootproblem HELP!

i have unlocked my htc sensation XE on htcdev.com then has it been rooted and i have installed cwm but then have i installed the original ics update and now stops the bootsreen at the htc logo on the white background without the "quietly brilliant". i have already been searching in many forums and i know i should install another rom through bootloader but if i try this it fails every time i try it, so does anyone know how i can install a different rom through bootloader?
the bootloader is unlocked, s-on, and the hboot version is 1.18.0000 .

You have the wrong hboot version. You need to update to 3.32 you can find it on this thread.

Yet another example of why you don't flash an OTA file over a rooted ROM. I wonder how many more we'll get before people get the picture...

i need hboot version 3.32? do you have the link? because i can´t find it here.

check my signature.

i have tried this already but if i try it on my computer using htc sync: it doesnt work and the same with adb drivers. i get always error 155: unknown error and if i try flashing it with bootloader it happens nothing: its loading and then, it happens nothing.

The problem was not from flashing the OTA to a rooted device. The problem was flashing the OTA without the stock recovery. You need to flash the proper RUU for your device. Who's your carrier, and what RUU are you trying to flash?

Root HTC Sensation 4.0.3

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 can't use titanium backup because u r not rooted. You need change ur hbooot to 1.17 or 1.18 to get soff. U need to revert back to gingerbread get ur soff first them u can upgrade to ics and ur hboot.

Is it possible to revert back to gingerbread ? How ?

Can I join conversation with similar question. I just bought htc sensation 4G from another guy. Adroid 4.0.3 with Sense 4 room InsertCoin beta 10 runs on phone. I found SuperSU app on phone whitch I assume it is for rooting or something.
Can someone help me to instal new more stable rom, or just give me useful link with explanation. And how to check that some phone is rooted. Thanks.

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 ?

Can't Install OTA Update on XE

I flashed my XE with a taiwanese ROM using SuperCID. I used to have a SEA WWE rom but I can only download the RUU for the Taiwanese one because my Ordroid 9.0.0 didn't have wifi on so I had to go back to stock. Now, there's this 3.33 update for the current rom I have and have downlaoded it in the OS for at least 5 times and failed at all of it.
I later changed my CID to HTC__621 which is for the taiwanese rom but the update still didn't occur. I only reach about a third of the update bar on reboot and I always see a red question mark on a phone icon after. I can't seem to find out why this is happening to me. Is it because I have S-OFF? I don't see how S-off would affect the OTA.
Can anyone help me?

Man what exactly are you trying to do are you trying to flash a ruu that's for the xe or just flash a ruu in general and get the ora update and if that's the case what update are you trying to obtain

You can only ugrade via OTA if you are on a completely stock ROM, htc OTA doesnt work on custom ROMs

Hi,
you should install RUU from your PC, then you should should put S-ON and only then you will be able to get OTA from HTC, here is How-To
