[Q] install New RUU

Good day
I got my new sensation 2 days ago i need to install new RUU on the device but i don't know where to start and what to do
plz i need help thxx

You can't flash an RUU that's different from you original version. It's been covered SO many times before it's not funny.
What RUU are you trying to flash and what ROM is currently on your phone?

im trying to install "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_ARA_1.34.415.1"
and idon't know what is the current RUU on my device
my problem is :
i want to add arabic support to my device , when i run the RUU it can't discover the device, my device is connects and set to USB disk drive

You can't do it. To find the version on your handset go to Settings>About phone>Software information
And it shouldn't be connected in Disk Drive mode to run an RUU - you set it to HTC Sync (and you need HTC Sync installed on your PC)

Android Version 2.3.3
Software number 1.35.720.1
Kernal 2.6.35.10-g9cef70d
and if i can't how can i install arabic support on device??

You can't, simple as that. You need to wait until we have root access to flash a new ROM which has Arabic support built into it. Might be weeks yet

as mentioned above, you just can't at the moment, for arabic webpages however you can download Firefox which renders arabic websites without a problem, I know that doesn't solve all the problems though, the facebook app for instance can't ready arabic unless it's supported natively by the rom, don't worry though, once HTC releases its S-off update all will be fine.

So it also won't be possible to flash the "RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.900 7.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed"
to a 1.34.206.1 (Europe) device, right? =(
or is there a possibility to do this?
Would be really nice to get that unbranded version to my phone cause I really dislike waiting weeks or longer for a new branded version every time a new software version is released.. :/

That's correct, you can't debrand until we have full root access

Not what I've wanted to read but thanks for the answer :')
I hope that will change soon

Your thread in general isn't helpful to the guy dragging up an 8 month old thread. To answer the question you need to s-off, set super cid and then flash the RUU you wish to use

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)

OP, you could try to flash the update manually through bootloader?

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. :'(

Hi,
Yes,you can flash Sensation ROMS on Sensation XE.
It does matter whether it's GB or ICS,beccause they require different firmwares.
ARHD is good ICS ROM.

Yes you can... Sensation and xe are the same phones with a different cpu clock... And beats obviously

simply put
MOBILE hardware ----talks with-----firmware-----talks with-----ROM
now for GB there is GB firmware(s)
also for ICS there is ICS firmware(s)
and GB firmware cant run ICS ROMS
ICS firmware cant run GB ROMS
so to move from GB to ICS ..you need to update your firmware to an ICS one
to chk your firmware
settings->about phone->soft ware information->build number
if its 1.xx... then its GB firmware
for ICS you need to have 3.32.xx firmware

How did it fail? What did it say?
My suggestion is that you run the process again but look at your serial number carefully and also copy and paste the beta key provided when you entire in the serial number into the revolitionary tool box when it asks for it to reduce any chances of error.

Hi Sensation lover,
The Zerging root says, it failed to get root. The Beta Key gets accepted. Hence I am sure my serial number and beta key are correct.
Thanks again for your support.
Thanks,
Ahmed

Sometimes its best to copy and paste beta key into area to assure its exact. I'd try to start process again and be absolutely sure ALL numbers are correct.get new beta key, copy paste key see if it helps. Revolutionary is pretty straight forward. Just make sure numbers are exact! You should be good to go then. good luck!

Hi All,
In the process of upgrading, I bricked it I belive.
My phone just loops now while booting. The HTC screen comes and then goes back to the booting mode.
I have a fresh micro sd card as well. Now I need to restart the phone.
When I try to HBoot the phone, the message says as Model ID incorrect. I understand that this is due to the incompatible zip file in the root folder.
Can some one guide me to get the right image file? I tried many threads with no success.
Looking forward..
Ahmed

Hi,
What ROM did you try to load?
Did you superCid?
It is step 4 of the s-off guide.
This will avoid Model incorrect ID problem.

the ONLY difference between the two phones is the colour of the back door/battery cover
and the red capacitive buttons..

What firmware are you running on?
I advice you to check here if you are running on the correct firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618

You need to use tacoroot method to get around the Zerging root failed message. Use this guide.
Except, use
Code:
adb shell chmod [COLOR="Red"]777[/COLOR] /data/local/tacoroot.bin
Instead of
Code:
adb shell chmod [COLOR="Red"]755[/COLOR] /data/local/tacoroot.bin
Then, after the S-Off, you need to follow the normal steps to install the ROM, as previously stated.

HTC Sensation and Sensation 4G,the same?

Hi all,
i bought yesterday my htc sensation 4G, and i want to install new custom ROM instead of the stock one, but all tutorials are talking about "HTC Sensation" and not "HTC Sensation 4G", is it the same?
can i follow this tutorial (in french)?
many thanks

They are the same. I bet googling "can I flash sensation ROMs on sensation 4G" would answer your question too.

thank you se1000, now i have my phone s-off/ rooted, and now im installing the touch recovery,but i want to know will i need to SuperCID my phone to install custom roms(i have 1.27.0000 hboot) ?
which Rom do you advice me to install (sense 4)?

Just my opinion but venom is good.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda premium

Venom Viper rom is good for Sense 4. I would SuperCID, just to be on the safe side

thanks to all of you,
but one last question, now i have sense 4 installed and i don't know which firmware i have, in the software number i get "ordroid 9.0.0" ??
when we need to change the firmware version? will i have the right to install any ICS/Sense Rom whith my curent firmware?
i had a HTC HD2 before buying this Sensation, i installed all avaible ROMs for the HD2 (realy all) and whitout any problem and without need to change any thing (bootloader,firmware,...) (after installing the right recovery), but with HTC Sensation i think it is more complicated,is it?

Sensation and Sensation 4G are the same phone. The Sensation 4G is the T-Mobile US variant (name only).
