If I get a replacement through T-Mo... - HTC Sensation

Will it be rootable? I hear there is a new boot loader or something along those lines, would that cause any issues?

No it won't be a problem but you should start gathering up all the tools you need because your new sensation will come with the hboot 1.27 or 1.28 and I just s off my sensation and I had hboot 1.27.0000 I now have hboot 1.27.1100 and it was easy all did was downloaded this all in one toolkit that does it all it will s off and root and super cid I can provide you a link to my dropbox and that way all you would need to do is download the zip and unzip it and open the tool folder and scroll down and you will see a icon that says menu you will then place that menu on the outside of the tool folder and when ready connect the sensation via USB and choose sync mod and click on the menu icon and every thing is done by number's for example if won't to s off press number 1 and it will do just that it will do everything you need it to do

Hello Deiskei
I got a warranty replacement on my Sensation two weeks ago. The replacement came wth the original stock GB installed. Frankly I expected ICS. I simply performed S Off using Revolutionary, 4EXT Touch latest version, then ARHD 1.2.0. Everything went flawlessly.
Have no fear.

I got a replacement from TMOUS a month or two ago. It came with the 1.50 GB ROM and whatever hboot comes with that firmware. I honestly didn't check. I think it's 1.19 or 1.20 hboot?
I left it like that for a day, then flashed the 3.32.531.14 TMOUS RUU (1.27 hboot) that got leaked a day later. Then I used juopnutbear to s-off and the rest is history.
I wouldn't worry about an upgraded hboot either way.

How to find the right Stock ROM to HTC Sensation

Hi.
As the topic says - I'm currently running the Revolution HD ROM. But I would like to go back to stock - cause I'd maybe like to sell it soon (If I don't get better batteritime!!!). My phone can't last a day at work !
So - I've found the Pyramid ROM list - But how do I find one that fits a HTC Sensation (Denmark)???
Any help would be appreciated
Do a search for "htc sensation ruu" in google and you will see the diffrent RUU you can flash. I can't post links yet.
GREAT! Found some - but can i somehow assure that 1 actually fits my model?
The "shipped" ones - are they made by HTC. Will I still have the oppotunity to update when ICS i coming?

Did you do Super CID before flashing the said stock rom? or no more?
So you just Plug HTC Sensation to the PC via usb cable in charging mode right? then double click the RUU.exe File, run through windows?
Stock means original rom shipped by htc right? I'm just wonderin where u got stock Ice cream Sandwich, From what I read it hasnt been officially released by htc yet right? For sensation
No SuperCID before.
I couldn't make it work with the phone in charging mode. So I had to do it in FASTBOOT mode.
This is the full filename:
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.12.401.2_Radio_11.65.3504.00U_11.19.3504.29_2_test_233440
I think its maybe a testleak. What ROM do you use now?

GREAT ROM!
Actually I'm a little disappointed regarding this stock RUU. The Revolution ROM was much more smooth.
Yesterday I tried to go for the Revolution 6.0.2 ROM - but I cant! In the fast boot option the phone fails when pressing "Recovery" (you know, where to press "install from SD card")......

[Q] can somebody find me the correct things.

Hello, I'm kind of semi bricked and on hboot 1.23 so I can't flash any other firmware files or pretty much do anything via hboot but I can still run 3.12 firmware roms. Can anybody please find me some, any roms that run 3.12. It doesntt matter to me if they are outdated.

No, my hboot is useless so i cant flash any of the newest 3.24 firmware roms and above because i have hboot 1.23 and its terrible and half-done. Half of the functions are missing. When trying to flash a new firmware it gets to unzipping then just immediately reboots hboot.
can somebody please find me an ics dl link fir firmware 3.12 such at arhd 6.0.0? i've searched but all of thepages just have the most recent one with a higher firmware.

If you have s off, 1.23 h boot can also run GB ROM. Try COREDROID v4 if you want ICS, it's running great for me and it works on you current h boot, also their 3.3 GB works well too none of the ICS bugs. Also look in the stickies in development section the files you want are there.

The best rom 4 sensation z710e

Please what is the best rom for htc sensation Z710e and how to flash it on S-on
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
I would advise you to get S-OFF. If you're on HBOOT 1.18.0000 or earlier it's easy with "www.revolutionary.io", if it's 1.2x.0000 there is a different mechanism. There are various guides to help you get there.
As far as which ROM, well you will get a thousand different opinions about what is best. I guess your first decision is do you want Sense or AOSP look and feel ?
What do you not like about your current stock ROM ?
I like sence. I like my previous sence I just want to upgrade. And I have hboot 1.27 bootloader unlock by htcdev
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda app-developers app
I'd recommend that you continue to unlock and get full S-OFF on the phone. Look up some of the guides to S-OFF HBOOT 1.2x.0000. They use something called Juopunutbear. It'll make life much, much simpler.
I'll let others describe the merits of the various Sense ROMs. Personally I tend to prefer AOSP look and feel.
For sense ROM, Android Revolution HD is a fast and very stable ROM, running Android 4.0.3 and Sense 3.6. Am a user and a fan
imo, best sense rom is Viper 1.1.0.
i've been running it since OrDroid for Sensation got abandoned and it's pretty dope with theming support.
I've now switched (3 days ago) to CM 10 (JellyBean) and will not switch back. I've even deleted my nandroid of Viper just to be sure

[Q] Downgrade HTC Desire S from ICS 4.0.4 Sense 3.6 to GB 2.3.5 Sense 2.1

Hi Folks! I am completely new to XDA as well as all the android stuff, I used to be on Nokia before Forgive me if I have posted in the wrong section...
Basically I managed to upgrade my HTC Desire S to ICS 4.0.4 using the RUU on HTCDev.com. Having used it for about a month now, I want to go back to Gingerbread 2.3.5 Sense 2.1 as it is much easier on the battery as well as being much smoother to run. My problem is that from the shippedromes.com site, there are several gingerbread ruu's available, so out of this list (these are all europe), which one do i choose for Gingerbread 2.3.5 with Sense 2.1?:
1. RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.5_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_219480_signed.exe
2. RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.8_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_225161_signed.exe
3. RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe
4. RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed.exe
5. RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed.exe
To me they all look the same but obviously there is some difference as they have different numbers in their file names.
Thanks in advance!
The trouble is you can't just flash a ruu version lower than the one running on your device (downgrade), because by default you can just upgrade.
See this thread for the procedure to downgrading.

Be careful as you will probably lose your warranty doing this!

Thnx for your quick reply,
My phone is already over 1 year, so warrenty is is gone anayway I think!
I understand the procedure to downgrade my phone, such as changing the HBOOT, unlock bootloader, S-off, revolutionary, clockwork recovery etc. But when it comes to actually installing/flashing the Gingerbread RUU, which RUU should I used? I wan to downgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.5 (the one that shipped with the phone originally) with Sense 2.1. I'm in the U.K, and my phone is unbranded. It is also currently running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 with Sense 3.6. If you could inform me which RUU I should use from the list in my first post I will be very grateful.
Thnx again
The ruus with 2.10 at the beginning are definitely sense 3.0, I don't know which sense version 1.47 and 1.28 ruus are, but 1.28 will be the oldest.

Thanks alot! I think I will flash 1.28 first and see what it is. If not, I will probably flash 1.47 instead, which should be possible without anymore tinkering as it's a higher RUU.
And I definitely don't want Sense 3.0, I would rather stay on ICS then!
Thanks again for the quick answers!
There was never Sense 2.1 for this phone to begin with. Sense 3.0 is the earliest you can get.
This makes your question, well, void.
Any Gingerbread RUU will be fine.
1.28 is Sense 2.1.
1.47 is the same but with some fixes. I suggest to go with this.
The rest higher versions are with Sense 3, except the ICS RUU of course

Boot Looped :(

My dad asked me to root his HTC Sensation after seeing my HTC Sensation and all its rooted glory... Well his phone had a different HBOOT. Mine was 1.27.0000 and his was 1.28.something maybe 0000? Well anyways so my HTC Sensation was left S-ON and I just Enabled SmartFlash using 4Ext and mine booted fine. His however I did S-OFF and both our bootloaders are unlocked and both are rooted.
I tried installing a custom ROM (same on mine) and now his Sensation is in a bootloop... The custom ROM in question is Elegancia - Sense 4.1 v3.1.0
I feel like it might be because he was running Gingerbread (I believe) and I was running ICS. However he loved the custom ROM I was using so is there any way?

Since the previous ROM was Gingerbread, the firmware would have been the older one. Just update the firmware to the latest 3.33 and the bootloops should be gone (if not try reflashing ROM after firmware update). There is a guide as well for updating the firmware.
Check the thread of the custom ROM you tried to install, it should state which firmware needs to be installed for this ROM.

Hi,
If you want help,then, it is important that you post CORRECT information.
Otherwise you could be given wrong information which could lead to brick.
If he was running GB,then, his hboot would have been 1.18
If this is correct,then, post the COMPLETE hboot page,so that you can receive the correct guidance...
EDIT:
I notice you also have questions in the Help Thread.
Please keep your questions in ONE place.
