Hello people,
I'm new to android and trying to flash my htc sensation [hboot: 1.18.000, htc sense vers. 3.0 , software num. 1.50.161.1]
so far I:1) rooted my phone [or i think i have] , 2)made super cid , 3)and unlocked s-off
i couldn't make buckup of my rom, somehow clockworkmod isn't working. then i decided to proceed into installing an ruu even if buckup wasn't made.I downloaded 2 different RUUs and when i tried to run it i got error message both times.
i'm trying to install a stock rom different from vodafon's.
please help me and keep up the good work!!!
Why couldn't you make a backup? Was there an error message?
What do the error messages say when trying to install the RUUs?
Flash cwm from rom manager EDIT- SRY THOUGHT I WAS IN A DIFF FORUM. *facepalm*

yeap with out a error message there isn't much we can help you with… So please be a bit more specific ...
Hi guys my phone has to go back tomorrow and im not to good with this stuff and it took me forever to root and flash this.
Im trying to get the sensation xe back to stock unrooted. It has went faulty and no signal, its getting picked up tomorrow and i cant seem to see how to do it.
I seem to need an ruu file for it which i cannot find at all. I googled it and had a look, but not quite sure what im looking for.
Once i get it do i install it in recovery. Or through windows
.I downloaded some ruu and i kep getting a 170 usb error or 120 charging error. I think ill be up all night trying to get this to work.
Will flashing stock ruu remove clockwork and other recovery tools
Read the guide in the dev forum

hi there i looked there it spoke about ruu files and the numbers are out for my phone.
The installer is trying to overwrite my phone from 1.73 ti 1.35 is that safe ?
i got the kernal code from htc website file name pyramidLE-HTC_Europe-Crc-2.6.35.tar
Can i just install that in hboot if i rename to pg58diag
Hiya guys,
I'm so sorry if this question has been asked, I've tried to search through but found nothing that relates to my situation.
I made the switch from iPhone to a Sensation XE and was interested in jailbreaking / rooting.
I successfully S-OFF'd, rooted my XE but haven't been running a custom ROM, finally today o2 pushed the ICS updated and I downloaded it, went to install it and a warning triangle with a little android appeared, obviously I panicked and took the battery out, my phone is working fine now without the update being applied.
My recovery info is:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.17.111
RADIO- 10.14.9035.02_2
eMMC-boot
I was wondering if I would have to flash a custom ICS ROM to get ICS or if it was possible to install the OTA update whilst keeping S-OFF?
Sorry if I have misunderstood something obvious, thanks for looking.
I'm in exactly the same situation. Would a factory reset solve it or is that only going to restore the OS back to it's original state?

Was it a triangle or a question mark? Having the same issue here, started a new thread about it.
I'm hoping against hope that someone is able to help me through this!

Triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle for me.
I'm guessing I need to remove S-OFF and root from the phone before attempting the update again.
I'd rather get the OTA update than flash it myself.
Why not just flash Stock rom?
Sensationaly sent from my Sensation.
I've looked through some of the other posts and came across this same scenario a few times. It looks like the solution is to re-install the stock rom so the custom recovery is reverted back to stock. This should allow the OTA update.
I'm going to try this tomorrow, will post here if I have any luck.
The chump at O2 Ireland told me on the phone today that ICS was only possible on the Samsung SII.
I genuinely guffawed down the phone :lol:
A very nice posting from my ARHD XE
Thanks for the advice guys, my warning thing was a triangle with an exclamation mark inside of it and a little android by the side, all buttons were non responsive.
From the sound of it flashing a stock ROM seems to be the only way to go, will try later on and post back.
You can't be rooted to flash an OTA as the system files the ICS OTA patches have to match
Sorry for a noob question but......... ive got a sensation xe,its unrooted on contract from o2
how will i know when there is a ics update for it ? i keep checking on the phone for updates via the "about phone" menue in settings but it says theres no updates,is this the correct way to check or do i download an update via say the HTC website ?
ive never updated a phone before,hence the noobness , sry
I followed step 5 of this guide to remove S-OFF and the OTA update ran fine.

I installed the same ROM version that I was on:-
RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed.exe
Thanks ,ive now discovered my phone is S ON so will look into turning it off,im abit worried sky go wont work if i upgrade to ICS tho
Recommend custom ICS rom every time over OTA. You will get far more support and updates from developers than official sources.

Hiya guys, I still havent got round to flashing the ICS OTA, would you recommend custom ICS roms like ARHD?
Hi, new to all this and probably closest thing to do with what I'm trying to do, apologies if it's bumped wrongly or something.
I still haven't managed to get an update from the standard Android version on the XE which I bought new in February.
Can someone tell me which steps in any of the above could help me improve my chances of it please?
I'm in the uk and O2 is my carrier although I' sure that doesn't matter too much.
Any info would be appreciated.

Download the 3.33.401.153 RUU from here: icxperia.com/jonny/RUU/
Please remember to browse to the Sensation XE folder as there is more than 1 RUU my RUU folder then just connect the phone to pc and run the RUU exe file

Brilliant! I'll try that now, from a fellow Cheshire resident too, what are the odds...
Well I gave it a good go initially, started the RUU exe and got to the second screen, but windows pops up with a bubble and keeps telling me the device driver wasn't installed properly which was odd as I presumed it was there before working fine, device manager just has a yellow mark next to android phone, am I being particularly thick here?

Install the fastboot drivers. Right click on the exclamation mark, install device driver software and select the folder.

Hi guys! I'm new to this and that's probably why I messed up but I recently rooted my phone (HTC Sensation 4g) to get ICS by following the steps on Tech Silver's How to Root HTC Sensation
After I finished rooting, I didn't know how to get ICS.....so since the official ICS update came out for the HTC Sensation a couple of weeks ago, I decided it's be easiest for me to unroot and receive the update.
I followed exactly everything THEUNLOCKR's guide on how to Unroot HTC Sensation said to do.
After the completing the last step, instead of rebooting like the guide said it would, my phone stays stuck in bootloader...
NOW I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO AND I'VE SEARCHED EVERYWHERE. Is my phone ruined forever?
Sorry for being such a noob or if this question has been asked before, but if anyone knows how to fix this, please help me!!!! PLEASE!!! :-( :''''''''(
Hello, I'm really new at this. Full noob.
Yesterday i tried to root and flash a 4.3 rom onto my HTC Amaze 4G. Now it is stuck on the HTC logo. I know that the whole proccess was a fail. I didn;t use hasoon. Now i want to make it back to 4.0.3 ICS. I have a boot.img kernel i use. But when i use hasoon, i unlock the bootloader, flash 4ext and then perm root. but when i say perm root it says Device not found because USB debugging isn't enabled. I cannot get past this point.
