The Sensation forums have some awesome people in it. If you have any troubles or questions feel free to send me a PM.
Thanks! I noticed this forum is buzzing with excitement, compared to the myTouch 3G Slide forums.
Which version of HTC Sense should I go with after I S-OFF? I like Sense 4.0, which my brother has on his One S, but Sense 3.6 has also caught my eye.
Sense 4 isnt perfectly functional but unless you use BT alot it doesn't matter.I'd go for S4 personally (Although im on MIUI at the minute as the battery life is far better than any sense variant)
I don't actually have a Bluetooth. I mostly like eye candy. I like aosp, I'm a man of bells and whistles. I like to be able to show my friends the advanced graphics and such.

When you unlock bootloader you obtain s-off if im not wrong and the best way to do it is whit revolutionary method or htcdev works aswell but if you send your device backin whit htcdev method they will know you have hacked ur phone :/

Most definitely S-off, with S-off you have full read write permissions for all partitions. With HT Dev unlock you only have read write permissions for your System, Boot, and Recovery partitions. Plus you have to flash the boot.img for each ROM you want to use manually via fastboot command or use Smartflash in 4EXT.
Sorry but I do not know about Darktremor.

I don't know why some may say ICS on Sensation is lagy, but I can say it is smoother. I love everything about the update. If you have a Sensation 4G, the ICS update is well worthy to update to. So, the update is not available in the US, it is worth rooting and the whole 9 yards, be advised! Getting ICS on Sensation 4G is a wreck of work, but there are a lot of helpful threads to seek into before attempting anything. I'm rooted/CID/Firmware ready to flash and I love ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 Being on Sense 3.0 Gingerbread can't compare! So, thanks to all of the helpful threads and Developers and last but not least XDA!...CHEERS!

Even that wasn't hard. Unlock your bootloader which is almost fully automated, flash su, done.
arent mikes firmwares rooted already? so no worrys about that
ics wokrs like a charm
flashed it 3 days ago, my batt is at 12% !
Can only agree, even for a novice is not that hard to do at all, just have to follow guide (there are quite few around) to the letter and all goes well.
From what I've read is people who cut corners and miss important steps that often have problems with their phones.
Many thanks to everyone here on Xda for their hard work bringing us goodies!
Ok I just wanted to clear up what seems like some confusion that everyone is having. To flash the ICS and Sense 3.6 OTA file all you have to do to a stock Sensation or stock Sensation XE is to S-off your Sensation first then write Super CID to your Sensation. That is it really, you have to S-off because branded Sensations will only flash ROMs that have the correct security clearance for whatever carrier that the branded Sensation is from. You need Super CID so the OTA file will pass the cid check during the flashing process. You do not have to be rooted as being rooted has nothing to do with being able to flash a ROM.

I have not had a HTC phone in years, Mytouch 3G to be exact. I read the treads before I even think about flashing, and boy did I see a few with bricked phones soft bricked/ hard bricked, and lots that was confused. I'm a good guy and I just hate when somebody destroy something they care about. So, with that said, I hope to put precaution in those who are fast to act and slow to read. Thanks to all of you for sharing your thoughts about ICS, my feelings are likewise

Sorry, but I just had to add, coming from a Google flagship phone/dev phone without any third party security and bloatware, it was a one step thing just root and flash. So, I'm proud to say I felt like a nube coming back to HTC

Before we broke up he said he was going to update my phone to android 4 but never got round to it, now on the HTC facebook page i see some people have got an OTA update but why haven't i?

The best advice you can get is probably this: wait a little longer for OFFICIAL ICS which will be pushed via the update. Since it will be official, and via the update, it will be delivered ready to go straight from HTC.
Beware: if you start delving into these forums just to get ICS, you are in for a ride of your life. If you are not into this kind of "fun", i would recommend just waiting for official, which is just hours/days away.

Not at all. It's pretty easy:
S-Off/Root
Flash new Firmware
Flash New Rom
Each step has detailed guides and can be accomplished in 20 to 25 minutes each - the firmware only taking 3 minutes. Just make sure you follow directions, carefully. As in, really, very carefully. If you're unsure of something, don't do it.
That's reach, guys......
So many replies and none specific.... Why to bother answering at all???
To get ICS OTA you need to be stock. S-off does not matter, root also.
Has to have a stock recovery and 1.50.401.1 for original or 1.73.401.4 for XE.
Although, if you want to install custom ICS, you have to read Dev section for specific requirements of the ROM of your choice....I read a lot good reviews for almost all of the ICS ROMS.
And here is something to keep in mind:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23427200&postcount=1
Otherwise EddyOS will be really upset...LOL
Have to find a RUU for your particular phone and flush it to bring everything back to original condition (will be un-rooted, but S-off will remain).
Good luck!!!
Keep in mind eddy won't help you if you get stuck he will tell you search or use google lol

Not sure you're doing anything wrong. As far as I can tell, only Vodafone sensations in the UK have had an OTA update. The rest of us who still have stock ROMs are not-so-patiently waiting.

Bottom line, you can't update to ICS unless someone follows some steps on the forum to either A: Return the RUU to stock or B: Flashes an ICS Rom for you.
He sounds like a smart guy, too bad it didn't workout.
You may have someone in a circle of friends that's familiar with rooting etc. Hit them up to do the labor.

I have a question... my phone is stock the RUU as you've called it is from HTC. I downloaded an app "CID Getter" from Play/Market and it tells me my ROM is 1.45.401.2 which if I'm correct is official. My CID is orang001 then as i scroll down it says main CID HTC_001 so why has this not updated to 1.50.401.1 for example?

Add a few more nevers in there as a precautionary measure.
I know you get it now, but just to be clear to anyone who finds this thread in the future this is not something you can experiment with then go back if it doesn't work.
If you flash the radio of another device, or the firmware of another device, you will have an absolutely unrecoverable brick situation. You won't be able to flash the correct radio / firmware because you won't even be able to get into your HBoot by pressing power - volume up. You won't be able to use ADB to put the right versions on because the device will be completely powered down and your computer won't recognize that it's even there via the USB cable.
The device will be dead.
The phone literally has a better chance of survival / repairability if you smash it with a hammer.
Ok I wasn't clear enough, english is not my native language too, maybe I wrote not in a right topic, but I assure you guys that I was not so stupid to just flash HTC Amaze software right to my Senasation. lol
But what I mean was : There is HTC Amaze Camera Mod already fo Sensation GB, many users are waiting for HTC Amaze Camera Mod for Sensation ICS. There's was no hope for this mod until ICS for Amaze came out, but we still need that kernel source was released ?
Just ordered 2 one s's for "free" should be here next week. I'm coming from an htc evo 4g on sprint. The evo has a HUGE dev community, but it looks like there is a lot of action in these forums!

I am trying to put a custom rom on my fiances T-Mobile HTC Sensation. Do all roms work on all carriers phones? My phone is a Galaxy S3 and I know if I put a rom from another carrier on it I will brick it.
Side question, will a custom rom fix the slow touch screen response from the sensation? She cant even answer calls because it appears to be so unresponsive when waking from lock.
Yes, all ROMs from this forum works on the HTC sensation/sensation 4g/sensation XE no matter what carrier you have. You need to unlock the bootloader first or s-off the device before installing custom ROMs.
Here's info/directions on s-off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26280760
I can't remember the link to rooting your device, but there's hundreds of articles on the internet on how to flash roms/root and that good stuff.
After you obtain root, I suggest this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37121632
It's based on android 4.2.2 and it's crazy smooth and responsive. Just make sure you read the link carefully and follow all the instructions.
Never ever flash a ROM for a different phone than what the ROM lists (ie. Don't flash a SGSIII ROM on a sensation. It will probably hard brick the phone)
