I recently got a new HTC Sensation from a seller who unlocked it for me, so security was already turned off (S-OFF). I tried updating my phone using official HTC OTA updater, but a white triangle with a yellow exclamation mark appeared. I Googled it and apparently it means that my phone is rooted (which it isn't). So I rooted my phone using "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip", and obviously I still cannot update.
I spent hours trying to find ways to update my phone manually, but I only found a bunch of dead links.
How can I update my phone to Android 4+
About phone:
Model: HTC-Z710a
Android version: 2.3.3
Software number: 1.35.666.1
Kernal: 2.6.35.10-g9cef70d

If you're phone is already rooted and s off why not use a custom Rom ? We have many ics or 4.0.3-4.0.4 roms. You you want a stock feel there are a few like that too !i found custom roms to be more stable than stock roms . If your soff and rooted just flash the ics firmware which is 3.32 or 3.33. Which ever of those two you choose and then flash your custom Rom. Then you will be running Android 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 ice cream sandwich or ics.why not go that route ? Or you can restore your device to stock, son and go that route. There is a guide for that also. But since you're rooted why not enjoy the customization that comes with being rooted and flash a custom Rom ? There are many great roms to choose from.

Hello, I have android 2.3.4. Can i install custom Rom base on 2.3.5 or 2.3.7 ?
if not, how can i update from 2.3.4 to higher ?
You need to S-OFF and then flash a custom ROM as there's nothing officially released higher than 2.3.4
So...It doesnt matter if i install Custom Rom based on 2.3.4 or based on 2.3.5 ?
or should i install 2.3.5 first, then install custom rom for 2.3.5 ?
s-off necessary
You can do only for 2.3.4 as far as I know .no need to upgrade the stock Rom before root.and make sure u follow the instructions carefuly .in the development forums u can find a nice guide on how to s-off .debrand and flash your senny

As EddyOs already metioned

You can't flash a custome ROM over a stock rom if the phone is not S-OFF.
Look at this thread

For as far as I know, you can install any custom rom/kernel on your sensation as long if its s-off and rooted.
Hi guys. I got my Nexus S like 1 month ago and it's just great. The only problem that I have it's this crappy stock ROM I have from upgrading Android Build from 2.3.1 to 2.3.6 (Which appears to be latest when pressing System Update button in Settings).
I've been looking around for some custom ROMs to mount on my Nexus and I found out that none (or maybe I've found out wrong) support 2.3.6.
Should I downgrade to 2.3.4 or upgrade to ICS? And if so, how do I do it?
There is a Dev section where you can look for custom ROM.

Hi every one, I have recently purchased an HTC Sensation XE. I have read and done all the tips several times regarding S-off, Super CID, Rooting. I have S-off and rooted the device. My CID 111111. I don't know why somehow I can only install OrDroid 1.6.1, and upgrade to OrDroid 1.6.2 only and no other ROMs. Could anyone possibly help me to see where I am going wrong? Thank you in advance.
Make sure ur firmware is 3.32 ...
And some phones get.bootlop.bcoz. of the oc kernel make sure u get the one without oc
Than try insertcoin beta 12 works great since u using sense 4.0

What firmware is in your bootloader? When you are flashing a rom and it requires a specific Firmware you will need to update that firmware to that roms requirements. First time Flashing also requires a full wipe. . There is a firmware thread in sensation development and how to's. Example.. If i want sense 3.6 rom or new 4.0 rom I would flash firmware 3.32. If your not sure how firmware flashes read up on it. It can cause bootloops if your not flashing the proper zips. Welcome to the world of SENSATION..

Hey pop did ya delete the firmware file you flashed right after you updated it into bootloader? Usually that PG58IMG which would be your firmware file zip should be deleted off your SDcard right after you bootloaded it. And also let me remind ya that even its a lower firmware like 3.24 or less it will have that same PG58IMG file name saved on your wherever downloaded too. So make sure your installing that correct PG58IMG firmware. Other than that ..try a step down from 3.32 and see if that works with the ARHD Rom.

Try the 3.30 firmware. If not just double check to see if you downloaded the right firmware 3.32. Like for me I'm a T-Mobile user so I had to download the T-Mobile version firmware.. hope that helps..

I know that everyone that bought their phone from tmobile can just update it by going through their settings and doing it but mine can't. I currently have a unlocked tmobile sensation and I have at&t on it and the phone is rooted with a custom rom called Android Revolution HD 3.5.2 by mike1986 and it says my android version is 2.3.4. I have no idea what all of this is but a couple of months ago my cousin did this for me on my phone and now I'm trying to get ICS on this. Is there anyway I can do it? Is there a guide or anything?
Thanks for reading.

Hello,
I really need help and/or suggestions. Here's the situation. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze sgh-t769 that at one time Kies suggested to upgrade firmware. So, it upgraded to ice cream sandwich. Few months after, i wanted to root my device. so i downloaded odin and the suggested other downloads and followed instruction. Long story short, it bricked my phone. So i downloaded the needed rom SGH-T769-UVLB7-k0nane and with Odin again, and brought things back to supposedly factory setting. Except, that it rom now is gingerbread. Here's the exact reading from device setting and about phone:
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version: T769UVMB1
Kernel vernsion: 2.6.35.11
Build #: GINGERBREAD.UVLB7
When I connect to Keis now it states"it's not supported by Kies". Device Software update stated, it's up to date.
I really would like to get ICS back into my device. How can i do that?

What are you trying to do, stay on ics stock or go up to custom firmware?
All you got to do is install a rom through recovery.
