How do I specifically know which one is for my phone or how do i check my version of RUU in my phone?

I would also like an answer to this question...please?

download the latest an flash that should work! (make sure its the right continent/ brand e.g mine is Europe) but dont know if it matter though

about to get this phone. Roms?

ill be rooting this, how do i get ics? do i have to flash a ruu then flash roms? or if i want, i just flash sensation xe roms and im good to go? please help

Right now there are a couple of ICS roms.
Personally I'm using ARHD's ICS rom & it works perfectly with a good battery life.
Follow the steps here till after writing SuperCID.
For ICS ROM, you would need to flash firmware from 3.12.401.2/102 RUU from here.
For support for newer ICS rom's like ARHD's. All 4.0.3 ICS Roms runs on 3.12.401.2/102
& It's been said that this firmware runs good with Gingerbread too.
-Warning Only Flash after Rooting-
Heres the one I'm using. ARHD
The guide to do this can be found at ARHD's post itself under the "How to Flash" Section.
Hopes this helps!

can you tell me the steps to flash the ruu?
i download the file, and i put it in root of sdcard and i go to bootloader or fastboot and flash?
do i have to check anything before doing this? thanks. and will it brick my phone?

you MUST do Super CID. Set it to 11111111.
MAKE SURE IT IS 11111111 BEFORE FLASHING.
If not it might cause issues like bricking.

If you wait some days more ( like a month or less), HTC will announce the official update

You can flash the 3.12 firmware and then you should be able to flash a Stock ROM.

Help please

Ok I've been searching for about a month on how to root this, but I am not understaning any of the root guides. Here's my plan, my sensation came stoock s-off and now its running ics OTA, for now I just want root, so I'm planning to fastboot flash the 4ext recovery and install superuser. Would that work? Also, in the future if I want to flash a rom I just flash the firmware, flash the boot.img, then flash the rom. Is this correct? I'm comming from a mytouuch 4g slide were everything is much simpler then this, so I'm a noob.

If you are s-off you can do anything you want to. 4ext will let you flash any rom you want easily (regardless of if your stock rom is rooted). Since all custom roms are already rooted you can flash any new rom now and it will have root on first boot.
You can flash roms in one step from recovery. Wipe everything but the sd card then flash the rom. You dont need to flash boot image and what not separately from the rom if you are s-off. It'll do it all at once for you.
You only need to change the firmware if you are switching from Gingerbread to ICS/Jelly Bean. You dont need to do it for every rom flash.
And you can install Superuser from adb (and maybe from 4ext if there is an install script for it but Ive never tried that) to get root on your stock rom.
Basicly by having it come s-off from the factory it could not possibly be easier to root and flash.

So if i want to flash a sense 4 rom i just flash it through ext? Cool youre saying that i olny need to flash firmware if im going from gingerbread to ics but im going from ics to ics? If so, thanks for this for info!
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using Tapatalk 2

You don`t need to flash firmware if you pass form gb to gb or ics to ics. I`m convinced that your firmware is 3.32. Flash 3.33 from here http://d-h.st/bCV via bootloader.(You just put the zip on your sd card)
And after all of this you make a full format except sdcarc(from 4ext) and VOILA ! You`re phone is ready for all roms from here.

Why flash firmware 3.33? What does it do?
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using Tapatalk 2

It is newer....and maybe improve you signal. It`s only for ICS.
On my device signal was improved drastically.

Can I use 3.33 firmware on stock ics?
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using Tapatalk 2

Yes you can use 3.33 on stock ICS
//one more thing i`ve forget. To be more safer make a NAND BACKUP before flashing.

Do o flash firmware like a PGMxxxxx image
And can you tell me the bestt version of 4ext to use
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using Tapatalk 2

Yes.
I`m using latest version.
//You find it here http://4ext.net/ (4ext recovery updater)
This can be installed directly from app.

Can I flash that firmware without it erasing anything

?? A lot of people on the forums said that if I want to flash a custom, I need to do it through 4ext.

Stock at bootanimation

I recently used htcdev, rooted and installed recovery. After this I tried to flash several roms but all stocked at the bootanimations.. what am I supposed to do? I'm running CWM recovery 4.0.1 - HTC Sensation XE - S-ON and hboot 1.29

Hmm I followed it and managed to install an aosp rom.. however I'd like to install ViperS and that didn't work. I noticed that ViperS had all these kernel things, does that mean I need s-off to install it?

Use 4EXT Recovery then enable smart flash.
And for S-OFF I would recommend it because it will make life a lot easier
