Do I need to have SS-on to be able to use stock roms? - HTC Sensation

So I am using a custom rom cygon on my phone and it is very buggy with me. I want to go back to stock version of the HTC sensation stock rom, and then when ICS comes out I am hopping I can just use the official update for it.
So my question is can I:
Flash stock T-mobile rom
Update phone normally after without messing with SS-OFF (unrooting my phone)?

Yes just flash the stock Rom via RUU. You will want to use the RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.50.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_rel" RUU from here. This will have you set to get the official OTA for the TMOUS HTC Sensation 4G when T-Mobile finally pushes it out.
It does not matter about S-off or S-on when it is a Stock ROM.

no
you can flash without s-on, if you unfurtunatly have s-on and wont to use a rom with a kernel mod you can use last version of 4ext toouch with smart-flash.

go back to stock tmous rom

I want to go back to stock tmous Rom ...I have s-off root and clock work recovery and super cid
.....I still want s-off but I want get rid of root and recovery....and install stock tmous ruu. And was wondering if I do a ota will it give me s-on..
You already wrote how to do it.
Run the RUU for T-Mobile.
You'll still be S-OFF after OTA.
I still have a backup of s-off, unroot stock rom. I like the ARHD rom but I can't play kingdoms at war on my web browser so I have to restore my stock rom so i can play that game again on my sensation.
I did a nandroid back up it is unrooted but I have s off....I have cw recovery and was wondering if I could do ota with custom recovery

afaik you cant run the ota update wile having a custom recovery. your best bet is to restore your stock rom by running the ruu of your provider (this also removes root) and than run the ota update

[Q] confuse of witch is the stock tmous rom + ota update

hello guys i'm trying to go back to stock im on tmobile usa
but the thread if [ROM]Shipped Pyramid ROM
has two version of tmous and i dont know witch one is newest
RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.27.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_192098_signed
or
RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed
and do i need to flash the stock radio or it already comes with the rom?
now i see some people are having new update
my friend from tmous is testing a sensation with the update. he said it dont have 2.3.5+
that the update is just to have better battery life and gps lock faster.
ok i know i need to be stock and maybe not rooted to get this update, but im concern of losing my s-off root
and cant root back
1.29 Is the correct Ruu, after flashing, the phone will boot up then check for update. After you install the update you will be on 2.3.4.
You will loose root but keep s-off. Just reroot, it's easy once you have s-off.

The one you should run is the 1.29 and it already comes with the radio included.
You will loose recovery and root but will keep s-off and your phone will be 100% stock and ready to accept whatever updates are available.

thanks guys my concern was i could root the same way i did if i update
one thing guys i download the file and its a exe format!
im on macbook
do i need windows?
or how do i extract the file
ok i download the fille to my pc ran all the instruction on the set up it recognize my phone but the phone didnt reboot or nothing
and it says fail now i try to do it again and this time it wont recognize my phone
after it reads my phone and i click update i get this error[155] unknown error
the rom update utility cannot update your android phone.
please get the correct rom update utility and try again.
i download the RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed
What are ROM do you have on your phone before running the RUU? Do you have a Nandroid backup from before you flashed something custom? I had a similar error occur when I tried to run the RUU when I was running one of the 1.78 leaks, I had to restore my Nandroid from before I flashed the 1.78 leak and then the RUU worked.
Can i just run the RUU.exe without doing the CID on adb? I just want to confirm because I have read on the other thread that I have to run CID on adb before i run the RUU.exe from my computer in order to revert back to stock tmous rom.
disregard ---------
So which is current 2.3.4 or 2.3.5?

RUU​_Pyramid​_TMOUS​_1.50​.531​.1 error 152

Can someone help? I'm getting error 152 image update when I run RUU​_Pyramid​_TMOUS​_1.50​.531​.1 on my phone. I have SuperCid, s-off, and was running a gingerbread rom,but I'm stock on the HTC black logo with the exclamation marks on the corners. Doing some research, I did not find a solution. I can't boot to bootloaders or recovery and I need my phone real bad. What can I do now? Thank you!
Are you using any Custom Recovery like ClockworkMod or 4EXT Recovery ?
If so you have to revert back to stock Recovery.
I use this method to get stock HTC Recovery back [GUIDE] Get Stock Recovery/Install OTA Updates without losing data.
But I am not sure about SuperCID either you have to revert it back to. But make sure make a backup of your phone first.

Super cid isn't a problem, leave it, custom recovery doesn't matter either.
Are you s off? RUU will only work if you are s off.

Yes...s-off. I was on ICS with firmware 3.32, then I went down to hboot 1.17 and flashed a stock gingerbread rom. Flashed fine (so i was back on gingerbread). Sinse I had hboot 1.17 and a gingerbread rom fully functional, I wanted to revert back completely stock and thats why I ran the RUU 1.27. But no luck. You know what's crazy...that after hours of trying to run RUU 1.27, 1.29 and 1.50 (which none worked), I downloaded the latest ICS Europe RUU and the sucker flashed all the way! It didnt boot, but at least I was able to boot into bootloaders. That way, I was able to flash thru bootloaders recovery, hboot 1.27 and an ICS rom again! Now I'm back with a working phone but dealing with the fact that I cant go back to stock. Crazy, ha? Thx anyways. Out of thousands of members with knowledge about my problem, ONLY you responded. Thank you!
Sensation forum, thx!!!

[Q] S-Off, Rooted Sensation on GB firmware - Looking to go to stock ICS rom

Currently running s-off, rooted, on a GB rom. I'm looking to get as close to stock as I can, I don't mind if the phone stays s-off, I just want the stock ICS firmware and rom.
I should be able to flash the RUU of the ICS OTA and get the complete rom, firmware and everything, right? I know I will lose root, but that doesn't bother me right now.
Can anyone link me to the OTA ICS RUU if that is the route to go?

ARHD is the closest to stock. Try that.
There is a post with ruu for Ics stock rom. Just look for it carefully in the development.

Flashing back to stock AT&T rom?

Got a galaxy s 3 so I want to flash back to a stock rom. I see the stock ruu on the htc website, but It mentions using htc sync but I don't have that option since I'm running a JB rom. How would I go about flashing this back to a stock rom? It's doesn't need to be s-on or unrooted as I'm just throwing it on eBay.

You have the option to download the .exe version of the RUU in the HTC site. Flash that from fastboot USB and you will be ok.
