I flashed my XE with a taiwanese ROM using SuperCID. I used to have a SEA WWE rom but I can only download the RUU for the Taiwanese one because my Ordroid 9.0.0 didn't have wifi on so I had to go back to stock. Now, there's this 3.33 update for the current rom I have and have downlaoded it in the OS for at least 5 times and failed at all of it.
I later changed my CID to HTC__621 which is for the taiwanese rom but the update still didn't occur. I only reach about a third of the update bar on reboot and I always see a red question mark on a phone icon after. I can't seem to find out why this is happening to me. Is it because I have S-OFF? I don't see how S-off would affect the OTA.
Can anyone help me?
Man what exactly are you trying to do are you trying to flash a ruu that's for the xe or just flash a ruu in general and get the ora update and if that's the case what update are you trying to obtain

You can only ugrade via OTA if you are on a completely stock ROM, htc OTA doesnt work on custom ROMs
Hi,
you should install RUU from your PC, then you should should put S-ON and only then you will be able to get OTA from HTC, here is How-To

hello guys i'm trying to go back to stock im on tmobile usa
but the thread if [ROM]Shipped Pyramid ROM
has two version of tmous and i dont know witch one is newest
RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.27.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_192098_signed
or
RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed
and do i need to flash the stock radio or it already comes with the rom?
now i see some people are having new update
my friend from tmous is testing a sensation with the update. he said it dont have 2.3.5+
that the update is just to have better battery life and gps lock faster.
ok i know i need to be stock and maybe not rooted to get this update, but im concern of losing my s-off root
and cant root back
1.29 Is the correct Ruu, after flashing, the phone will boot up then check for update. After you install the update you will be on 2.3.4.
You will loose root but keep s-off. Just reroot, it's easy once you have s-off.

The one you should run is the 1.29 and it already comes with the radio included.
You will loose recovery and root but will keep s-off and your phone will be 100% stock and ready to accept whatever updates are available.

thanks guys my concern was i could root the same way i did if i update
one thing guys i download the file and its a exe format!
im on macbook
do i need windows?
or how do i extract the file
ok i download the fille to my pc ran all the instruction on the set up it recognize my phone but the phone didnt reboot or nothing
and it says fail now i try to do it again and this time it wont recognize my phone
after it reads my phone and i click update i get this error[155] unknown error
the rom update utility cannot update your android phone.
please get the correct rom update utility and try again.
i download the RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.29.531.2_Radio_10.42.9007.00P_ 10.11.9007.15_M_release_193714_signed
What are ROM do you have on your phone before running the RUU? Do you have a Nandroid backup from before you flashed something custom? I had a similar error occur when I tried to run the RUU when I was running one of the 1.78 leaks, I had to restore my Nandroid from before I flashed the 1.78 leak and then the RUU worked.
Can i just run the RUU.exe without doing the CID on adb? I just want to confirm because I have read on the other thread that I have to run CID on adb before i run the RUU.exe from my computer in order to revert back to stock tmous rom.
disregard ---------
So which is current 2.3.4 or 2.3.5?
First thing's first - I'm definitely not a newb.
My phone (Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA) is depended upon for work and person use. I've been playing with a lot of custom ROMs and each and every one of them has their own little quirks.
Because of this I have seriously considered going back to stock, but I want to be sure that I can receive OTA updates.
I realize that I can get everything back to stock via RUU, HOWEVER, with SuperCID in place, would I still be able to receive OTA updates? I've read that the RUU doesn't replace the SuperCID with the shipped value.
If not, how would I get the SuperCID back to the original value (which unfortunately I don't have - phone was bought used and already rooted) ?
Thanks so much!
You can get the OTA with superCID the RUU will unroot your phone and reinstall the stock recovery. You will need the stock recovery or you could Brock your phone
If you want to be on the safe side and rewrite your cid do the steps you did to get superCID but instead of 11111111 put T-MOB010 That should get you back on track

So, by flashing the RUU it won't replace the 4EXT recovery with the factory one?

Sent from my Sensation XE
No cid will stay the same but that has nothing to do with how your phone runs that just allows you to install the ics custom rom because of the firmware updates needed to run them

you could.. but since you can easily rewrite your cid, why worry?
after u flash stock rom
1. Super CID will remain
2. S-off still remain
I can download OTA from server but after download finish it will not install with the error about variant system (means we modified software).

Are you sure for this? From what I know IF you install stock ROM from RUU, it will automatically unroot the phone, get back to S-On and of course replace your bootloader with the original one. However to be honest I don't know what happens if you install stock from clockwork recovery - maybe that way the bootloader will not be replaced and you will still have S-Off and root.
TO JWhipple: The Super CID shouldn't matter for RUU. However you could always change it back to your phone/operator version before installing RUU.
@up: not in Sensation. After installing stock with RUU, S-OFF will remain still. To get S-ON back follow this guide. I'm sure, tested on my own Sensation
What would be the right order to go with:
Do you start with changing the SuperCID back to the original one forst or would you first have to go back to S-ON?
SIMPLY TELL ME ONE THING
that can we have official update after installing the latest ruu with s-on and unroot but with super cid?????
thanks

installing stock ruu doesnt change the phone to s-on or unroot.......but see the guide to do s-on then u might get the official updates
The ruu simply changes your rom to stock unrooted, changes radio, recovery and hboot. It doesn't change stuff like cid and s-off. In theory you can get ota updates with supercid and s-off. The only thing required, would be the stock recovery

Quick question, a few guides to going back to stock Sensation point or that you have to downgrade the firmware and radio. Is downgrading the radio (and firmware for that matter) necessary before flashing stock ROM with RUU? I did it with the last sensation before sending it in for warranty replacement, but only because the guide suggested it. But next time I wouldn't do it if I don't have to. Thanks ahead.

No it is not necessary. It will be required only if your device is S-ON and RUU version is older. Just remeber that if your phone is S-OFF and you want to put it S-ON again, do that after you have flashed stock ROM.
i have unlocked my htc sensation XE on htcdev.com then has it been rooted and i have installed cwm but then have i installed the original ics update and now stops the bootsreen at the htc logo on the white background without the "quietly brilliant". i have already been searching in many forums and i know i should install another rom through bootloader but if i try this it fails every time i try it, so does anyone know how i can install a different rom through bootloader?
the bootloader is unlocked, s-on, and the hboot version is 1.18.0000 .
You have the wrong hboot version. You need to update to 3.32 you can find it on this thread.
Yet another example of why you don't flash an OTA file over a rooted ROM. I wonder how many more we'll get before people get the picture...
i need hboot version 3.32? do you have the link? because i can´t find it here.

i have tried this already but if i try it on my computer using htc sync: it doesnt work and the same with adb drivers. i get always error 155: unknown error and if i try flashing it with bootloader it happens nothing: its loading and then, it happens nothing.
The problem was not from flashing the OTA to a rooted device. The problem was flashing the OTA without the stock recovery. You need to flash the proper RUU for your device. Who's your carrier, and what RUU are you trying to flash?

Hey guys. I have the latest 1.50.401.1 European stock ROM with stock recovery and all (S-ON, CID HTC__001). I installed this a while ago from the lastest European RUU 1.50.401.1 without any issues. I bought the phone at 2nd hand from a guy who installed some custom ROM on it so I flashed that RUU to return to stock (not T-Mobile stock ROM though, which was originally on the phone).
Now I'm trying to install RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_Radio_11.69. 3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_246089_signed.exe which is the lastest ICS RUU I think and the installer comes up with an error about my model ID. MID is PG5810000 (Sensation 4G - TMobile).
Also, I received the OTA after I went back to S-ON and fiddled with the CID yesterday (after running the first RUU a while ago it seems S-OFF didn't go away, not sure if it was supposed to in the first place). The CID is now HTC__001. Not sure what is was originally though. Anyway, I got the ICS OTA and tried to install, but after downloading it aborted the installation with the attached error.
Any ideas? I've been told that I need MID to be PG5813000 to install the ICS RUU, but why did the GB RUU work in the first place?
I want to install either the OTA (would be better) or the RUU, so if anyone has anything to say, I appreciate it.
Thanks!
Hi,
I de-branded by Vodafone HTC Sensation using the following ROM:
ruu_pyramid_htc_europe_1.50.401.1_r_radio_10.58.9035.00u_10.15.9035.02_2_release_228602_signed
And I first used SuperCID to install flash this ROM and then changed it to HTC__032 which is Europe unbranded after it was installed. However, when I try to install the ICS update, I get a message:
"We have determined that your phone may be running a modified version of its system software. For your protection, we cannot update your phone. Please revert your phone to the official HTC system software to update your phone. If you did not modify the system software or would like help reverting your system, please contact us via the support section at www.htc.com"
Now what do I do? Can anybody give me the official HTC Vodafone Australia ROM so I can go back?
If I used SuperCID (1111111), then it says "there are no update available for your phone".
This sucks.
Change your cid to HTC_001 and you should be able to get the proper update for your current rom.

Didn't work. Same message.
Never mind. I did find my original Vodafone stock ROM and flashed back. Now the question is...should I S-ON or is ok just to leave it at S-OFF? Will it affect the ICS update whenever Vodafone decides to launch it?

The reason its giving you the message in the OP is custom recovery or custom rom. If your on your stock gingerbread rom then just flash stock recovery in hboot. Being s off or rooted doesn't stop you getting the update.
