Hi,
I normally do not like to start this kind of thread but I am getting a bit frustrated by T-mobile UK. My Sensation is full of known bugs and I wish that ICS will solve them.
Does anybody know if T-mobile UK will ever release ICS for the Sensation?
Do we know when that would be?
Sorry if it's a stupid question but I could not find anything on the web about it and T-Mobile could not help me either.
Damien
Hi Damien
If you are still on sense 3, your Hboot should still be on 1.18 or 1.17. If I were you I would get reading and S-off your phone and flash custom roms. Loads of fun as I am currently running Ordroid with sense 4. The guides are easy to follow!
ONCE T-mobile update your phone to ICS your Hboot will be on 1.27 and then your stuck on S-on (Unless you do hardware S-off's but cant be reversed) or until Revolutionary supports the 1.27 Hboot.
Just my opinion...

Hello, I was wondering if someone on here could give me some advice, I have a couple of simple questions which hopefully have simple answers!
I have a Sensation XE Z715e, which I want to gain perm root too, however I've been looking around and found a muddle of answers, most of which don't contain a straight forward answer, my question is, is it possible, and what is the best way to do it? ( I told you it was simple )
Model/Software etc.. as follows;
HTC Sensation XE Z715e
Gingerbread 2.3.4
Sense 3.0
Software 1.73.401.4
HBOOT 1.18.0000
If possible, I want to avod using HTCDev to unlock my bootloader, because if need be I can't revert to normal.
I've also seen about having to downgrade software, and read that Revolutionary doesn't work, although perhaps an older version of Revolutionary does work with the phone?
Any help/opinions/ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks
P.S. Im not a noob, although I accept the fact that I am on these forums.
Same way you do the original Sensation, using the guide in the Dev forum
So in actual fact, all this stuff I have read about it being difficult/different/impossible if you have 2.3.4 and HBOOT 1.18.0000 is all rubbish, and this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 will actually still work?
Thanks
Of course it'll work, HBOOT 1.18.0000 is fully supported by Revolutionary and has been for months
Just download your RUU from the Shipped ROMs thread as a backup

Did mine , XE UK on O2 .. well it was . It may have been that Revolution didn't support HBOOT 1.18. at one time . It does now though

Thanks for your help! You've settled my mind that I will definitely be doing this when I get home from work, I'll be sure to make download my RUU and/or make a Nandroid backup!

Hi,
First you must s-off HERE
For the recovery,use 5.0.2.0 HERE
Then ,get your ROM HERE
And use this guide HERE
A lot of work.
A lot of reading.
Do not skip ANY steps.
Read carefully,and you should be OK.
quick answer - there isn't an official ICS RUU yet, only beta ones
Can't go S-OFF. I'm on HBOOT 1.23, which is unsupported from revolutionary.
There is no official RUU? I thought HTC had released an Official RUU?!
Are there any beta RUU's?
Beta RUUs are in the Shipped-ROMs thread but come with HBOOT 1.27.0000 which you still can't S-OFF - you need to wait for Revolutionary to udpate to get S-OFF
I'm not able to flash an ICS Beta RUU?
My Sensation only have to run, I would like to sell it.
Can't sell it when it's broken x.x
And you can't sell it on a beta RUU either!!! That's just lying to get a sell!
I know.
But I will only that my phone works, maybe I can update in in a while to original and THAN I can sell it
or maybe, I can use it myself! That would be great.
But for now , there's no boot and no function.. I can't use my Sensation!
Hi guys, i have an HTC Sensation XE that has just updated to ICS 4.03.
The phone is a UK version unlocked unbranded never been rooted.
Im having some problems with ICS apps not working,some freezing etc.
Is there anyway i can go back to android 2.3.5 as this was stable for me ?
If you're S-ON then at this time you can't go back. That might change soon, though
Apps not working in ICS is a problem for the dev to sort out so get in touch with them to update the app(s) in question

I am having the same problem but i have S-OFF, could you tell me what i need to do to get back?
Cheers
If i was to make the phone s-off does it affect the warranty and how easy is it to do ? Cheers.
Technically it voids your warranty but it is reversible. However, you currently can't S-OFF the 1.27 HBOOT
To mimicuk - you need to first flash the lower FW and then go back to a GB-based ROM
Damn that's not good hope there is either updates or a solution to s-off or the Samsung S3 will be on the cards when its released.

Hi there, still no further news about the S-on 1.27.0000, 3.32.401.105 regarding possibilities to customize??
Greetings Gatsonides
hi everyone, followed alot of guides off this beautiful helpful website, like s-off my incredible s, and the Juopunutbear for the HTC Sensation,
but i think my htc sensation came from oversea's.
it cannot connect to data other than 2G(edge), is there any way i can fix it via an upgrade of my basebands, or radio version's?
any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated
love ya!
Josh
I have the same problem. Just used Juopunutbear to S-Off my phone and installed the ICS Viper Rom. Now I only get Edge data.
