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.

Hello There! Today i decide to root my Sensation so I downoaded the HTC super tool V3 and Perm rooted! so now i am having some trouble trying to install ICS.
since my sensation is rooted what should i do now??
i was trying to " INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8" but i couldn't. I get stock with the PG58IMG i downloaded like 4 diferent versions but no one worked!! the last one I try gave an error saying "model id incorrect"
I need some expert help!!
Sensation 4G Thanks!!
You know this is an ACCESSORIES section right? FML
HTC inspire 4g 2.3.5. Okay so i've followed every thread possible on the web, downloaded numerous files the whole shbang. I followed HTC dev on unlocking bootloader. Then fastboot boot.img then relocked bootloader. I followed shawdowchilds tutorial on downgrading and rooting via aahk and it didnt work. Ive done everything I can do and pounded away at cmd and forums for 2 days straight. I had read that aahk was retired but when I first got the phone 2 days ago it was 2.3.3 and I rooted it just fine until I flashed a custom rom that messed up my radio and I had to download 2.3.5 from HTC dev and updated my phone to 2.3.5 to fix the messed up radio. So if any one has any ideas to get this phone rooted it would be much appreciated. If aahk is retired does that mean no root access? If so then how do I flash custom roms. BTW im s-off.
Hi,
So a couple of months ago I managed to root my htc one to get the google play edition rom on. Anyway I kinda got sick of the rom and wanted to unroot my phone and everything so it was back to what it was when I first bought it. I tried looking around on youtube videos on how to do it but they mentioned something about needing an RUU and couldnt find the correct one for my device (im on O2 UK). So then i started messing around with the recovery mode and now I think my phones bricked as it keeps looping the 'HTC quietly brilliant' thing over and over again. I REALLY need help on this as I'm a complete noob when it comes to rooting and ive been looking around on forums and all the things they suggest to do made no sense to me at all so can someone please explain what i have to do now?
Thanks in advance

One this you could do is reformat the phones partition and then reinstall the stock rom on it. This occured to me on one of my phones and it seemed to do the trick.
