Is this possible? I've seen that the update is a .exe file. I'm already rooted and unlocked.

install a recovery. I recommend twrp. To get twrp install goo manager from the play store. After that if you want the pure stock experience without the headaches it can bring install the rooted 2.20 that scrosler posted in dev. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812459

So the rom comes 2.20? Wanted to keep clean Rom...so I have to choice.....any benefits to 2.20?

Nope. If you are happy with clean rom stick with it. 4.5 incorporates the changes that come with 2.20 and android 4.04.

Actually, this is 2.23 with AT&T bits blended in. It also has much of the bloatware removed. Scott has said there is practically no difference between 2.20 and 2.23 except the AT&T Stuff.
If you are still on 1.xx, it would recommend upgrading to 2.xx. The new ones are based on 4.0.4 and an updated Sense 4.0. It it much smoother, better multitasking and I get better battery life.
I would also suggest CleanROM 4.5 SE, since you will still have the stock experience and keep your unlocked bootloader and root.
You can do this without having to use the RUU, so it will be much easier.

I got my sensation last week. It's rooted, and clockwork is already installed on it. I had CM7 on it for about 5 minutes, but I liked the Sense UI better so I just went back to stock because I didn't have time to look for a SENSE Custom ROM.
I'm wondering if it's worth it to go off stock and go to a Custom Sense ROM? I saw Android Revolution HD, and I think the only step I'm missing is that Radio S-OFF.
Anyways, is it worth it to go to a Custom ROM or just stay stock? It's pure preference probably, but pros, cons kind of thing I'm leaning towards yes because I like that ARHD 1.5ghz oc. =)
Im using ARHD 3.6.0 and im loving it.
Better battery, snappier, plus you can flash themes and mods
I would definitely go with any custom rom over stock.
If you rooted with revulutionary you are good to go (already have radio S-OFF)
i like Sense 3.0 but CM7 have more performance
just got my sensation yesterday and played around all day in stock just to get a good feel for it before going to a custom rom which was a definite. i went for android revolution and it's definitely snappier. apps load faster, and the ones that access the web seem to do it faster too.

I didn't root using the methods of revolutionary. If I want to install Revolutionary how would I go about it? I can safely install CM7 already. I still have to do that Radio S-OFF don't I?
Is it just me or does the use of the word "snappier" as in, "it feels snappier now" make you feel that it really isn't much of a difference? When I used to want to tout the speed of some device or app I would say it was faster but I would use the word "snappy" if I couldn't really justify the use of the word "fast".
That being said, when I moved onto the Sensation I tried to go through all the hoops to get off stock but then realized it was just a waste of time considering my Sensation is perfectly fast and stable as is.

Follow this method to get S-OFF, from what I read it also RADIO-OFF's for you as well. Its what I did to flash rev. HD
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
That's the method I used to S-OFF. Is it the same as Revolutionary's Radio S-OFF?
Try pyramid3d. Its a good rom

Hi guys!
Have been thinking a long time about rooting my Sensation, but havent done it yet cus 4.0 is comming up in the end of march. But it got me thinking, when 4.0 comes out and I conclude. That it sucks, will i be avible to root it and innstall custom rom kernel on it? Or do I have to wait until the devs have done som magic?
Thanks for pros cons on this, and thanks for this great forum - allways fun reading!
I say root it now. Once ics comes out devs will have it right away and youbwill have a syabke ica

same thought and when a stable ruu of sense 4.0 comes out and you like it(test it with normal kernel no custom for good test)you can s-on again and u have it tested and u can make it undone always remeber to look up ur ruu first!
anyone got a link with the htc sensation europa ruu of the stock 2.3.4?
All the custom ICS ROMs based on RUU 3.30.4 and 3.30.401 are very stable, fast, smooth and reliable. Sense 3.6 is a bit nicer than 3.0 or 3.5, so there's an advantage there as well.
When (if) Sense 4.0 comes out for Sensation, you'll be ready to go, we will probably get it before the general public anyway.
If you do root and want to go to an Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0.3/Sense 3.6) make sure you read the threads relating to upgrading firmware etc., you can get stuck, or even brick your phone if you don't follow the instructions to the letter.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21989063&postcount=1
Good luck and don't forget to have some fun.
P.
Take the plunge!
All the ICS roms out now are pretty stable and there are a lot of guides that will help you get to that moment. Make sure to READ AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING before you do anything to your phone!
yeh. we will have a stable sense 4.0 here in a month or so.
as of now. there is 2 sense 4.0 roms. and MODS dont bash me for this.
Trips rom and Mdeejay's rom. from what i read. trip has almost everything working. and mdeejay's rom is getting there. my 2 cents
If I just root my phone but still use the stock ROM (no change, mods whatsoever) can I still receive the OTA update without problem?

Probably not. If you are interested in the OTA I think you may be better off staying stock, unrooted.
If you do root, odds are you would have to get the updated RUU yourself and run it.
If you were planning on staying with stock ROMs and kernels, rooting is not a good idea, if only for the warranty issues.

Bad choice, dude, for a first time rooter.
Read thru XDA. This is the largest group of Android development reviewers on the planet.
My recommendation would be InsertCoin 4.6.1.
The S4X build will be stable in a couple more iterations. The Virtuous Team is working hard on it.

Those are stable and fantastic, too.
Once you work with stable-r (err...) ROMs, your confidence in ROMs will grow, and you can explore the others.

i was staying with ARHD for to long, i would try a nonsense rom first to let you see what your phone is relly capable of. mine can have 300 mb ram free wjen not using my phone and read my sig why i sometimes need the 150 mb ram eating sense to go away
stock htc ics without root would suck anyways. ads and bloat galore
If you guys remember we got the sense 3 update leaked long before we expected it. I wonder if this will be the same for the ICS update. Anyone wonder if we will get a stable rom before the official release
It depends. We need people to leak the ruu

You won't get an official HTC OTA update on a rooted phone with a Custom ROM... and if somehow you do manage to get one while on a Sense ROM, DO NOT flash it... you'll end up in a bootloop.
As far as getting to use it, you'll get it on XDA much before people on stock ROMs (if history is anything to go by...). Hell, I think you might be running Sense 4 before HTC decides to give you Sense 3.6 officially.
Google search for details.

Yeah I think we will get 4.0 before 3.6!
I'm sure the RUU for the One V will be out before our RUU for ICS.

Hello I want update my android version from 4.0.1 to latest my phone is att one x and firmware is 2.20 rooted.I don't want to install or flash any ROM just want to update android version. Additional info. My CID is SUPER CID because I changed it while root process. Another question do I get auto update? Thanks.
From what I understand there is great risk flashing the OTA when you're Cid is changed. You can try manually changing the Cid back and flashing.. I have not done this myself. May or may not work. I would wait for your rom of choice to incorporate the latest update changes..

The problem is that i have never flashed a ROM. Because I like sense interface. As far as I know due to the discussions on forum there is no
substitute for sense in aspect of camera. And there is always bugs on ROMs.
A majority of our roms are sense jb with no bugs at all ..go. check out viper xl or clean Rom jb or hatka or the other great roms we have
I'm using UrDroid JellyBean, which is as close to a stock JellyBean ROM as it gets. I'm not even sure he modified anything, to be honest.

Hello all! I am currently running an AT&T HTC One X and i'm getting rather tired of waiting for AT&T to get their heads out of each others asses. I have decided to root and flash my phone. I have some experiance doing this with my old Motorola Atrix 2, and LG optimus V. BUT I just wanted to make sure that I could flash the viper 3.2.3 rom without updating to JB.
-Thank you for your time!

If you have your bootloader unlocked and you're rooted (and some other requirements in between), you wipe your system and install ViperXL. I did it and i had ICS just like you. just make sure you do it just as the instructions say. If what you want to get ViperXL but don't like JB (which I doubt is the case) they have an ICS ViperXL too.
BTW they just released 3.2.4 yesterday.

There is no requirement to already have JB before flashing viper.
