Hello,
Upgraded to the ICS Ruu Beta. Happy with ICS even with it being a beta its really good. I'm very unhappy with the battery life though. I can take my phone off charge at 9am , By 2pm my phone is already saying that its going flat and needs charged. By half 3 my phone is flat :'(. The power was never the best but at least I got most of a day from it.
I would love to go to the Orange Ruu . ( As it has the wifi calling option that I really really want!!) . But the one that I downloaded keeps saying that the model ID is incorrect. In the past the unbranded HTC rom was fine. Now after going to ICS I want to go back to gingerbread but I keep getting the same model ID not recognized.
I would love if someone could help me get my Sensation XE running the Orange Branded Rom . ( I don't mind if it had to be a Sensation Rom unclocking my processor ( Giving a better battery life ))
I think the problem is that you have SuperCID so the RUU cannot recognize your device as Orange branded. What you need to do is find the Orange CID and change it back to it via the same method you used to SuperCID.
Why? If there is an Orange RUU then just flash it as Super CID will allow it. If you're getting the Model ID error that's because you've NOT got Super CID as you can't flash a non-XE RUU on an XE model without it
Thanks for your replys,
Whats supercid? My phone was a Phones 4 u de branded HTC sensation XE. Does that mean anything or have I just not understood ?

Just had a google to see what it was . I seen a post [First result on google after searching super cid] about it. I have downloaded the file but don't know how to do the commands it says :O. Would getting this working work with the Orange rom? In the past I have had Other roms working via clockwork and had it rooted but dont have any of them options since flashing with ICS Ruu
Edit 2 - **LOCKED** , Pyramid PVT ship S-off RL. Hboot 1.20

Go to dev section and read guide. Step 4 is super cid.
The day I got my Canadian One S, I had an HTC upgrade waiting to be applied...
I was soooooo stupid to apply that, which made me Hboot 1.13 and radio 0.17...
I have rooted and s-off and all other necessary to install JB...
All went nice... I got ParanoidAndroid ROM(thanks guys, very nice job seriously) running smoothly...
However, after several days I've noticed that many people have been complaining that they can't reach me...
I've activated the operator's missed call SMS function and the result was shocking...
I was missing 70% of the calls each day... I started to track the status of the device then...
This is what I've discovered:
Network is constantly switching between 3G, H and H+...
Even if there's H on the screen, sometimes there's no connection actually.
While searching for the probable root cause of the problem, I've installed seven different ROMs, including Android 4.0.4 and 4.1.
The problem remains, so I assume ParanoidAndroid ROM works fine. I have a different problem.
I kept searching and found out that many people have similar problems but I failed to find an exact solution.
One of the articles says that it may be the radio version, which makes sense to me.
Now I'm trying to downgrade the phone since three days.
The RUU I've been trying is:
RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258480_signed
because I was thinking that GSM network is GSM network and so EU RUU shall work.
But the error I get is Model ID Error, coded 130; which actually tells me that I'm being stupid again because I'm using a wrong RUU.
Now, I'm very tired(really, physically tired, I don't mean that I'm bored) so I need some sleep...
Is there any guru here who may help me? What RUU is correct for my Canadian One S? I got it from Fido in Toronto but because of my work, I'm using it in Asia, in Kazakhstan.
Cheers... :silly:

You can change your carrier ID so you can pass the model check when using any RUU by follow the instructions at the link below. If you do change your carrier ID then you'll need to unlock your bootloader though htcdev.com after you run a RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516911#post26516911
Also, after you change to super cid keep in mind you can only run RUU's which contain the same hboot version you are currently running or a higher version. In your case hboot 1.13 or hboot 1.14.
Thanks a lot but...

Thanks a lot.
In fact I read the CID change method but most probably because of late-night-sleepy mood, I've considered the method as brand and model specific thing. After five hours sleep, I see that it is not...
I've performed all the steps and I've succeeded to install this RUU:
RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258480_signed
As you have mentioned about hboot, the RUU didn't downgrade my hboot from 1.13 but it did downgrade the radio from 0.17 to 0.16. and OpenDSP from v28 to v25.
I've performed all rooting and installed CWM recovery and I've restored the backup.
I got JB back without any hassle.
However, the 3G, h and H+ switching problem still remains, which actually made me look for a solution for RUU installation.
So radio downgrade didn't help...
It's very annoying to see the network constantly switching... And I have reasons to believe that this switching is draining the battery.
Would you have any suggestions on that particular issue?
(I don't know if this is important but I since the problem is still remaining, let me mention anyway...
The geniuses in Fido, even after asking about it for three times, gave me an operator locked phone...
So when I arrived here and have inserted the KZ operator SIM, the phone got locked.
I unlocked it myself...)
Cheers
How did you S-OFF?

Glad it worked. For the network switching I think that's fast dormancy doing it's thing but your carrier has to support it. To disable it add these lines to your build.prop file.
ro.ril.fast.dormancy.rule=0
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=1
or if those already exist change them to match above and see if that fixes it.
I'm sorry

I'm very sorry to alarm you; my mistake...
I have been very exhausted last night... I've mistyped few but very critical things, such as s-off.
Within my technical limits ans skills, of course no s-off...
I've corrected my signature.
Sorry again...

Now, let me track the status

Thanks mate.
I've added the two lines to build.prop
Even though the switching still is going on, I suspect that it is quite less dynamic than before.
Today, I'll be watching the status of data and the missed call SMS' from the operator.
I'll of course let you know the outcome tomorrow.
Cheers :good:

OK, here I am...
The problem is still going on...
However... I found out something very interesting...
Yesterday I felt very upset and disappointed with the One S and bough myself a new One X...
I didn't install any HTC updates, etc... I unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM recovery...
Put my favorite ROM, the latest version of ParanoidAndroid...
Inserted the SIM card... Guess what?.. Same thing... Switching between 3G, H, H+ !...
You can't imagine how surprised and shocked I was. I started to consider burning both phones in my back yard.
But before buying some alcohol for easier burn, I've decided to check the issue with another SIM card. :cyclops:
So I've asked from one of my friends having micro-SIM to give me his SIM for 5 mins to test...
While explaining him the problem on his One X, I saw that -with another operator SIM card- his One X is in the same situation...
His One X is pure factory default, no bootloader mods, no recoveries, no custom ROM, etc...
Since he keeps the data off all the time but uses only wifi, the guy had never noticed the issue.
So I'm shocked for two times in 20 hours
Now what?.. The networks of all operators in Kazakhstan have some kind of a problem?
Or is this really a problem?...
Four days ago I was using the same operator network with my good-old HTC Desire and I haven't witnessed such issues with that one, neither with the two EVO 3Ds I have, nor with the Motorola Xoom. By the way, they're still fine... No switching issues so far...
What may the difference be between these old models and the new series?
Problematic new radio hardware or firmware HTC uses in the One series?
If this was only a switching issue, I might think that it may not be a problem actually but the phone still is dropping from the GSM network and I still receive missed call SMS from the operator...
Delays in sending SMS, etc...
What the heck is going on here?
Cheers
Should this method always work?

Hi, I'm not able to run the RUU with this method (130 - Model ID Error). CID is 11111111, phone (One S) is unlocked by htcdev.com. The mid is PJ4020000 and I didn't find any way to change the it (fastboot oem writemid PJ4010000 doesn't work). Hboot version is 2.09. I tried to install both RUU_Ville_U_HTC_Europe_1.78.401.2 and RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.5. Can anybody help me, please?

Nevermind, I just found out that I couldn't update because I have the S3 version (which, of course, nobody at the store told me) and therefore need another RUU.

HTC One S
I rooted my HTC Sensation a few months ago and I could not get custom ROMS to go past there boot logo screens so I re-installed on carrier/factory ROM from a back up on the phones SD card. I originally wanted to do this to get JellyBean on my phone has HTC'S interface is a little ugly.
The problem is I want to install the latest system up date from my service provider but none of the RUU's I find for my Bell Mobility(Prymid_BM) phone are of the same version so it tells me I have the incorrect RUU, I want to install the system update but I cant because my phone is no longer stock. What els can I do to get my phone back to completely stock so carrier updates work forever and always.
My firmware version is 3.33 and all the BM RUU's i find are of and older version there for wont work
I have looked here for RUUs but there always to old:

I want my HTC Sensation on bell mobility to be completely stock so if you can help me please do so and give detailed answers so I'm not googling for hours like I already have been. What are my options, because as it stands right now services on my phone keep crashing and I have to keep telling it no don't report it to HTC, happens ALOT.

Hi guys
I'd like to know if there are some radios that have any advantages like better stability/battery life over the others.
My phone is currently on 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 with Hboot 2.00.002. I know for Desire XS, the Dev recommends 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110 and 2.00.2002 or 7.00.1002 but to attain this, I must flash the ICS RUU, which I'm not keen on(I've heard it has bugs). Are there any equivalent radios to the one for Desire XS or any radio better than my current one ?
My phone is currently 2.00.002, HTCDev Unlocked, S-On. I plan on relocking, flashing an RUU with a 0.98 bootloader, using Revolutionary to unlock and S-Off and then flash another radio+Hboot if I must. Will I need to flash this with an RUU or can it be flashed in fastboot on its own ?
Sorry for asking so many questions in one post, but I've been struggling to figure out a way around this for a few weeks now.
Any direction as to get the best combination of Hboot+Radio would be appreciated.
hboot as well as radio can be flashed via fastboot without installing ruu
I was looking also to change the radio on my Desire S; for now, I didn't to it yet (it was to solve problems with 2G-3G on CM10, but probably this has nothing to do with radio).
I have read on this forum that there are no rules to know which radio works better: it depends on the network you are using. Some radio's will word better for you, but not necessarily for others.
Hello,
First time poster so please be gentle. (I am somewhat noobish when it comes to remembering terms and whatnot)
I've gotten myself into quiet a pickle here. I ran a successful RUU on my handset (ofc with SuperCID as well as S-off, unlocked bootloader and root) and had the time of my life. I was back to stock! A day later I wanted to update you see but got the "variant system detected" problem. Considering that I was still S-off and SuperCID'd I instead decided to change my CID (yes, that wasnt very smart) instead of just going S-on and then updating (I'm also not too familiar with OTA so yeah....). I had 2 RUU's on my desktop (the current one i used was for ICS a.k.a 4.0.4 Asia WWE Telkomsel whereas the other one i was planning to use was Vodafone UK JB), Me being the idiot I was clicked on the Vodafone one, searched up the CID for Vodafone UK (VODAP001) and rewrote the CID.
I then proceeded to S-On so i could get OTA updates working finally and again being the idiot I am ran the Vodafone RUU.
This cleared all my data and wiped the OS clear off my phone.
So now im stuck with:
VilleC2 PVT Ship S-On
Hboot -2.09.0001
Radio-16.05.20.16_M2
OpenDSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418
eMMC-boot
as well as a CID for Vodafone UK (VODAP001)
And here I am now. (sorry about the storytelling)
I have tried 2 roms so far which are:
- mcOneS3_1_0_0_DeODEX (yes i know, my Hboot wasn't right. Tried it anyways)
- BackToBasics_V3
Neither worked and I've been searching the web for more roms as well as an RUU that can match all my details (which is very unlikely).
I've also been trying to search for [ROM][DISCONTINUED][S3][18 FEB] TrickDroid 6.0.0 and was wondering if anyone had a copy lying around that they could provide since Trickdroid for the S3 has been discontinued:crying:. If someone could provide me that, I would be extremely grateful. Also any advice is great too.
Thanks~
