Updates come OTA (Over The Air) - you'll get an alert on the phone so you can download it
Or, you can use an RUU (ROM Upgrade Utility) but using one of these will completely wipe the phone so you'll have to set it up again from scratch
Updates are specific to your vendor code so just cause one user gets an upgrade you might not. For example, I have a Vodafone UK Sensation so I can only get updates for my vendor code (x.xx.161.x). An update for someone with an unbranded handset (vendor code x.xx.401.x) would not be applied to my phone

His right..update for someone with unbranded handset need to be root first, which we cant at the moment due to lock bootloader by HTC

N if in case my phone crash how can I flash that n what is pc suite for HTC
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App

If the phone crashes and you need to reload the ROM then you need to use an RUU, depending if it's available. Finding the RUU for your phone is always recommended as it's backup in case the worst happens. I have mine (thanks to baadnewz). If you have a Sensation, go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the software version and we can take a look
For reference, HTC's PC software is called 'HTC Sync' and you can get it from their website (or the SD card that comes with the phone)

EDDY thank you so much for your help...I am 1st time using HTC so asking lots of questions ..thanks again

Yeah i'm pretty sure it just updates the system.img and keeps data.img in tact.

I was playing lot with SE without problems bcoz I can flash this at home...but seems like I can't do it with HTC bcoz otherwise everytime I have to go to service station..that is bit problem for me now

Correct, an OTA update doesn't lose any data - it just updates the device

ICS Update Available in Taiwan

Hey guys,
these days I have been checking the update frequently hoping for its arrival soon and this afternoon the update has arrived.
I have a Sensation XE stock rom (Asia_TW) unbranded. I bought the phone in Taiwan and received the update in Hong Kong.
I am pretty sure the Asia update has started. Good luck guys!
My findings regarding ICS/Sense3.6 :
1. System becomes smoother. (Rotation/animation/System overall response)
2. Wi-Fi works perfectly, with/without SIM card.
3. Total available RAM is now 583MB (10 Mins after boot, 194MB free)
4. Boot Up Time: 2min 30sec (+- 5sec)
5. Multi-touch Switch problem still exist
My CID: HTC_621

Try the CID checking app on the market. CID is what ota releases are mainly based on. There is another thread with a CID list.

Full filename is enough. It cold be downloaded from OTA server directly when we know filename.. But I'm afraid for EU phones it is not usable due to different base version and OTA file is just patch! It could be used be developers to see what has changed there and what to cook into their roms..

Finally some progression wonder if HTC also fixed the multitouch bug in this release like devs has done it already.

I am in Taiwan and I haven't gotten the update yet. OP is wrong.
I bought the phone in Taiwan and my carrier is Far East.

It could very much be due to the CID thing. They release the update based on the CID (and IMEI as well? not certain about this.) and as I read from other posts I think they release it to 30,000 devices at a time so the server won't break down. Wait for some time I'm quite sure it will come to your device soon.

Not sure because AFAIK it is Kernel bug and Taiwan has exactly the same kernel build ..

The multitouch problem still exists. Quick tab on the screen switch the first and second tab.

Stil no Update in Hong Kong

I just checked my CID and I also have HTC_621. I still haven't gotten the update.
So maybe it's for HongKong only. Not in Taipei yet.
I'm gonna ask another friend of mine over here with a Sensation if they got the ICS update. Will update after I ask.

As I know so far, the ICS OTA update in Taiwan only for Sensation "XE".

When I asked HTC_India on FB ..they deleted my post from their wall...coz they are busy on One X... ...Hope we will have this end of this month.

Tired of using check update button. I don't understand why HTC always delays in OTA for India. Are they not looking at India as market to grow?.

Just Wait
We will have to wait till HTC decides to update our devices...wait for godot...

Don't be so sad. Most of Europe didn't get it either.

Is there any rule that India should get it after E/W Europe? Since Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan etc are getting it (i.e. SE Asia) logically India should have got it by now!

My sensation xe (India) has software nr. 1.77.720.103 , i don't think to many xe's have this build, so it is possible that this will get update later...

We'll get our updates man .. but as usual itll take the agonising equivalent of ages.

keeping finger crossed and hitting the check update button like hell...more than 200 times a day

Hmm.... 7th april... So not march... That's disappointing... Neway... Going to stop checking for the update... Thanks man

Hi,
I'm in the UK with a Sensation XE which I purchased from a company in Hong Kong. I run it with a T-mobile sim card.
When I check my software version it says I am 1.77.720.103 like a couple on this thread.
If i use CID Getter it shows my CID as being HTC__038 and that my ro.carrier is HTC-India. When I first got it I had to change the locale to be english GB so that it received news articles to do with the UK.
I'm a bit puzzled by how exactly the phones receive the updates OTA. They obviously check a server somewhere which checks something on the phone and makes a decision whether to let it update or not. Is there not some way that I can change my phone settings so that it believes it is a UK phone and receives the update at the same time as other people in the UK?
Is there a way that I could flash my phone with a European/UK ROM so that I don't have to mess about changing locale etc?
Many thanks and apologies if this has been asked before as I could not find it when I tried searching.

ICS is now available via OTA in ROMANIA

Vodafone RO user here, update received. charging battery first then download fast i hope, backup done yesterday, just in case
edit: 296.6 MB file; version is 3.32.401.5

I'm also on Vodafone, but the device is unbranded and is actually a Sensation 4G with a european stock ROM that I flashed. Not sure what country exactly, of if it matters!? I haven't received the update..

good luck deepshasa! shouldnt be long! have a friend in cambodia who got it 3 days ago, so its soon there for you (^_-)

Also, here in Slovenia is available to upgrade to ICS. Like HTC would know, that today is my 18. birthday
Thanks HTC for this present

I didn't receive it because my phone is from Germany branded with T-Mobile (it's not simlocked and I bought it in Romania).
(Sensation XE)

[Q] Would you update it or not?

Hello everyone!
It's seems to look like another "would you upgrade the phone of your GF to ICS" (which can actually lead to tensions *skip lame part*), but it's not.
I have in my hands a sensation Z710e from Korea, still running gingerbread.
Being now in Europe (more precisely in Belgium), I would expect to have the ICS stock upgrade (cf. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570785).
But no update showing up on the phone. I guess the problem comes from the build (1.46.911.4 CL149869 RELEASE-KES) or the baseband (10.57.9035.00U_10.14.9035.09_M) which are Korean and not European.
Questions:
- Will I ever get any update of this phone, in Europe, OTA?
- Is it possible to update the baseband/build to have an European baseband (and follow OTA updates)?
- Is it dangerous (it's not my phone I don't want to brick it)?
- Should I follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298 with such a korean phone? I have no S-off for now, and phone version doesn't seem supported http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary?
Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure if or when you would get an update but I have rooted and s-offed two of my friend's phones including the sensation. I did the sensation a few months ago and they are happy with it

S-off, change your cid to the local carrier and you should get the update. You'll want to s-off before the update anyways because you can't once your hboot updates.

I'm not sure in that one actually, I thought you meant changing the country by installing a local ROM. Personally I think I would super cid, s-off, and root and then install the local stock ROM or any of the other ROMs like Android revolution and then you could unroot and turn s-on if you wanted to, but it is all extra stuff to do.

GB to ICS Update India postponed to May 14th
dude dont worry you will definitely get the update... we in India are scheduled for next month

S-OFF takes 10mins.
Change CID take 10 seconds lol
Do them 2 steps and the Update should come through.
You dont have to CID, Just change it to unbranded Europe. But superCID is better and isnt any more complicated

Hey Bharat...
Who told u about our update next month? Ive been hounding those guys for days and they seem to have no clue...
