You can try to flash a rom to start your phone again try that.

Did you flash anything or mod the phone in any way? If all you did was accept an official update leading to this boot loop I would call HTC or your carrier and have them fix it!

OP said they had the phone S-OFF but still running stock ROM - wouldn't the S-OFF be an issue for warranty?
Maybe the OTA update couldn't or didn't properly update the radio/bootloader/recovery segment - that would cause an ICS ROM to fail boot. I think trying to reflash the old stock ROM, or a GB-based custom one, is the first thing to try. Failing that, maybe manually flash the appropriate ICS firmware/radio package for the OTA ROM (see this thread)

Doh. Missed that!
OP, you could try to flash the update manually through bootloader?

IMO you need to flash the 3.32 firmware that will support/run ics (elegancia/darkforest) .

Did these flash OK (even though you are unable to boot them)? Recovery would have notified you of the result.
If so as above post, update firmware with the firmware needed for the last from you successfully flashed. Post if you get stuck.

Im maybe experiencing the same problem. Here's what happened. I was using internet-pass-through with my Sensation XE for me download games and saw in my notifications that there's an available system update which is the android 4.0, etc. I downloaded the file and installed it but right after i got stucked with picture of an android and beside it is a exclamation point in a triangle. I removed the batt and turned on the phone and nothing happened, nothing new. So, I searched in youtube and saw a way of updating ICS in my phone. My phone had S-off but still using Stock rom. I entered the bootloader then CWM then formatted the system, cache, then tried to update to ICS since i got the zip file already in my SDcard. After then, the installation was aborted, it says cannot fine system/build.prop or something. I rebooted my fone and I got stucked up with the HTC logo and white screen. Omg please help me. I'm crying. I just bought the fone. :'(

Can you post the build.prop please?

looking through the zip

Just patch file inside of file... Did not downloaded it to phone, just direct dowload to PC using link to fota server. There is new firmware.zip inside, several apps as such for Adobe Flash and patch to lot of system/app ... That's all I can see..

You cannot read what's inside the build.prop it is encrypted.
I think it's android 4.0.4 Update but not sure

anyone flashed it?

Very interesting to see this. I wonder what this does and if anyone has been able to test it out?

maybe updated firmware for jb ? we can only prey.

Agreed.
It seems to be update to 3.32.401.5_R taking it up to 3.33.401.6 as it says in file name. Guess this has come direct from HTC as it has '401' in the middle for unbranded hand sets?
Im currently running 3.32.401.5_R so wondering whether I can change to pg58img and flash it through recovery as im completely stock (other than s-off)

I'm completely stock and still have 3.32.401.5 why I can't see the update?

When an update goes out, not everybody gets it at the same time. If everyone woke up in the morning and all started updating at once it would be a heavy load on the network(s). Be patient and good things will come.

Thank you for your reply!

Did you SuperCID before or have an unbranded phone? Not sure if that is necessary in this situation/with this package but seems better to be safe. If not I would wait until someone picks out the best parts of it and makes a flashable zip with more CIDs supported.

Then how come there are 2 different RUU's from Football, 3.32.401.5 and 3.32.401.5_R
By your theory only 3.32.401.5 would have RUU as the _R version would be OTA. Therefore me thinks you are wrong, I dont know what differences there are between 3.32.401.5 and 3.32.401.5_R but I suspect they are minimal

I don't want to wipe everything from my phone ... Why I didn't get the update? I'm completely stock but s-off

Hey mate. Im s-off and have Super-cid. Not bothered about custom roms anymore. Would like to apply the ota via bootloader if anyone can help?

I know this might be asked before but i cant find it. firmware/super wipe

Guys I see a lot of roms that tells you what firmware is recommended but it dowsnt show you on how to know which firmware you have.
I recently got this phone sensation 4g from tmous. came with ICS.
I rooted it, s-off it, and hboot 1.27.1111
how can i know what firmware do I have? and I guess I need to be on 1.33
and another question is anybody still using super wipes in here? seems like the more ics roms dont tells you that you need to do a super wipe
and can I still use superwipe when flashing new roms?

Their is a firmware thread that gives all the firmwares with unlocked bootloaders. Also a rom will state if you should super wipe or not. But as a rule of thumb do not super wipe when installing a aosp or aokp rom. Only sense roms seem to be compatible.
Also since you have ics as stock It would be safe to assume you have the 3.32 firmware as this is what is linked in most if the s-off guides I believe.

so the 3.32 is based on stock ICS for the sensation 4g then why some says to update to 3.33

Because 3.33 is the newest firmware and what some devs recommend for there roms. Even though 3.32 is the same as 3.33. So if you have 3.32 your ok.The only real difference is the radio. So if you just update your radio. You should be fine.

you can update to 3.33 but right now you dont have to. eventually maybe. setting > about phone will also tell you firmware version on phone, or maybe just the firmware of the rom, not sure. If you read the firmware thread then you will understand firmware and settings and not make a mistake. end up with reboots or tac nyan or some ****.

Finding out the firmware version is one of the most basic information you need to know. Hint: Bootloader has nothing to do with it.
Odoslané z HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio cez Tapatalk 2

What he's trying to tell you is if you get to your boot loader (by pulling battery putting battery back in pressing volume down and power at the same time) the information about your device will be there...if you want to upgrade to 3.33 you flash the v pg58img file. You put on root of sd card boot into boot loader the way I showed you then it will ask to update press power for yes. Then DELETE the file! If you don't delete it it will continuously try to update. That's all there is to it. Hope I've helped.if so press thank you. Have fun updating.

Same issue
I had the same issue with my sensation. I reflashed everything. I Flashed arhd 6.7. With beats and it works quite well now only issue so far is mobile Internet Speed. I'm reading through all the forums because usually every issue has been addressed and solved somewhere on this website. This is one heck of a Site. I'm going to try to do my part the best I can

I got the same issue that indresh88 said in the first post.
And i've also tried the fix that Echo237 suggested.
So.. i'm now with fw 3.33 with stock ICS rom and i've also flashed the root and tried wifix manager from the market.
Nothing is working. WiFi won't turn on, just remain with the message "Activating Wi-Fi..."
Any idea about what i can do?

try going back to stock again by using flashing a different ruu I have 3.32 and its with sense 3.6 it my work for you at this point its worth a try and keep it on stock for a while and monitor the WiFi but before you flash the ruu make sue you relock your device and then fastboot OEM writesecureflag 3

Okay this is not what you want to...keep this as a last option but, if nothing works out...go to the HTC customer care...I'm pretty sure Surat has !
I had gone to the customer care when I had this problem and didn't want to root then but I rooted eventually which solved the problem as they kept saying "kaale aavjo, today our server is down so couldn't download the firmware"....the guys won't ask for money.

Update 6.6.7 to --- ARHD 6.7.2 | ICS

At the risk of sounding like a noob, sorry in advance! I've been trawling through these posts but have been unable to find a straight answer so here goes.
I'm using a rooted HTC Sensation with ARHD 6.6.7 XE w Beats Audio, Firmware 3.32.401, HTC sense 3.6. Everything works perfectly!!!!!!!
I just want to update to latest ARHD 6.7.2 ,XE w BA.
Can I just flash the ROM update and be done?
Or
Do I need to - superwipe, update firmware to 3.33.401 and then flash ROM?
Very much appreciated. H

From the ARHD thread
No need to Super Wipe if you have 6.7.x already!
- 3.33.401.x firmware is required!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes you need to super wipe before you flash 6.7.2
Just backup your apps with Titanium backup and messages with SMS Backup and Restore.
EDIT
Stay on 3.32 Firmware because it has an unlocked boot loader. It will still work.

Thank you very much!!

Hi,
Going from 6.6.x to 6.7.x ,you are changing bases.
You need to wipe in recovery...
Format all partitions (except sd card)
Then install new ROM.
It will work with the 3.32. firmware,but you get the new radio with 3.33 firmware.
You can get 3.33 universal firmware HERE

Could you left an information if you still believe to old firmware, because I have the same question and would like to reseive experiences.
In some cases is it better to go to next firmware, new radio better corresponding to new rom. So I am not sure to let old firmware worlk with the new rom.
Other question:
Is in the new firmware the bootloader locked ??? I hope not. So why do not upgrade to new firm ?
I found the firmware here
Many thanks for reply.

3.33 has a locked bootloader, so no do not update from 3.32.
Yes superwipe between 6.2.7 XE and 6.6.7 XE
All ARHD ROMs are stable, smooth and good with battery life (in my experience anyway)

Yes superwipe between 6.2.7 XE and 6.6.7 XE
All ARHD ROMs are stable, smooth and good with battery life (in my experience anyway)

Firmwares that I have posted:
3.33 Universal is the latest/stable release ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version and works for Sense 4 also)
3.32 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.30 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.24 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW for Sensation (sense 3.6 Version) that has the Unlocked bootloader (posted by Mike1986)
3.12 Universal is ICS 4.0.3 FW before that (Sense 3.5 Version)
1.17 Universal This is the original Revolutionary 1.17.1111 Firmware with a completed Gingerbread Firmware v 1.45 package (Radio 10.14.9035.01_M)
So what is universal about it?
I have added a method found by mf2112 that allows the android-info file to have a wildcard tag. So instead of having a T-Mobile file where the android-info file has every cidnum the identifier is one entry into the android-info file and it covers every possible CID that T-Mobile has.

Not sure about the other firmware but use the universal as suggested because it does NOT change the boot or lock anything, I've upgraded my self to the 3.33 universal the one that won't lock or change boot. I've had zero issues and it has been wonderful . Make sure to READ before you install to be sure your downloading the correct version. You place the file at root of sd card, boot to downloader by taking battery out put battery back in, then press volume down and power at the same time. It will recognise the pg58img file and ask to update, press power for yes. Once the update is completed and rebooted. REMOVE the pg58img file! If you don't it will want to continue to update over and over inside the downloader, so delete the file soon as your finished. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

The purpose of this particular Q&A was to eliminate confusion about the update. Now I'm confused.
Will a firmware update to 3.33 universal give me a locked hboot?

Hi,
Yes, you can try to run 6.7.0 on 3.33 firmware.
Make a nandroid first.
The basic difference between 3.32 and 3.33 is only a newer radio.

Hi,
"To briefly explain with a somewhat-less-than-accurate analogy for the purist, the radio you can flash is like a firmware package in Windows terms, and the RIL is like a driver. It is important to match them for best results, or else poor or no reception is likely, as well as high battery drain." (Quote from HERE )
The radio controls mobile data,wifi,basically all radio signals in the phone.
A good radio/ril combination is required for good reception,and even good battery usage in the area in which you live .
Check the link above to see if you can get more information.
