Hey,
i've got a little problem !? I'm on Elegancia ICS Sense 4 v.3.4.0, and i want to get back to a pure stock rom. I attached a picture of my boot-information.
Is it ok, if flash a RUU with Firmware 3.33 and that's it?
Thanks a lot for your help :good:, and sorry for my - maybe - dumb question!
Ok now you are using ICS so you needed ICS RUU do not use Gingerbread RUU which will give you error. Download from the Pyramid shipped rom collection according to your country or provider, If you have Super CID any ICS RUU one will work, Then just run RUU done.
:good: thanks! So it's very easy to get back to stock, great! You saved my weekend !
And also S-ON if you want to take it to HTC.

You can recover it from the Unbrick thread, it happened to me and I unbricked it.

No chance... I can't flash the RUU ... I don know why... RUU-Setup says, it will start the Update, but then it stops with error 155 ... Some ideas how i can't get this ruu on my device?!
Aaargh ... Bootloader , that's it!

Do NOT accept the latest 2.3.4 OTA! It will still be S-OFF but it will say locked above, which means you can't flash Custom ROMS/ root/ whatever. Just a warning

On page 5 of ota 2.3.4 thread you can see the screen where it says locked. And now the hboot is 1.18.0000, instead of 1.17.00xx

OK, OTA flashed and all fine - still have S-OFF so will get a system dump up this evening unless someone beats me to it
EDIT: Interesting HBOOT now...it says *** LOCKED *** at the top of it
EDIT EDIT: HBOOT is now locked, cannot flash a new recovery - DO NOT FLASH IF YOU WANT TO S-OFF

I'm not familiar with super CID coming from the Mytouch4G, how many of you did it when you rooted? I'm rooting my Sensation 4G as I type this.
i did and you should do the same cause in the future will be very useful

+1 why not do it when you have the chance. I've not seen any downside so far.

I don't have to do it at this time right? I could always choose to do it later correct? The reason I ask is because I read that you would not be able to receive any OTA updates HTC pushes out.

well if you don't want to install ics custom rom you don't have to but if you want you have anyway there are ics fw that can be installed without supercid but imo it is better to supercid
edit: and if you supercid you can revert it back....however if you have rooted the phone you can't receive OTA, or better you can but it will brick your phone

yes man before getting the ota you MUST flash the stock htc RUU which you can find in the development forum
Almost everyone does SuperCID after rooting.
After Rooting, I didn't though. I just S-Offed. A week later, I realized I had to SuperCID to get some ROMs to work. So I did it and never regretted.
Go for it.

Always sper cid for safe side. If you change to supre cid will be very useful no need to worry.

I also did not super CID right away, but for a lot of ROM it is necessary so eventually I had to do it and never regreted it so far...
yup really helpful I did

I have done the supercid
Sent From Space Using My ICS Flavored Sensation
what exactly did I miss?
I have not needed supercid, I simply s-off'd and not needed any such thing.
I have updated the fw and I'm running Virtuous Inquisition ICS rom, no problems?
I really don't understand why you'd want to change the CID or how it affects ROMS
You don't have to supercid, but it might be handy at some point. It will allow you to flash any ruu shall you ever need it.
Sent throught the wormhole from my CoinInserted Sensation OG.
There are no downsides. I did it as soon as I got my Sensation.
I bought my sensation pre rooted, I have latest firmware and am runnin a 4.0.3. Rom, so does this mean the guy used superCID or whatever
sent from my insertcoined T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G with Beats audio
Well I must say Im glad I went supercid
I think I saved me a super headache when I got stuck in a bootloop from flasing a ICS the wrong way whatever I did wrong I was able to find a stock RUU in no time thanks y'all.

if your not branded,
you will almost never have to supercid for a custom rom to install.
but for example if a firmware update is mandatory, you might depending on your cid/mid.
i own a xe device and never supercid it, can install anything without problems. (dont always) believe what people say, but always check the description on the base of your own cid/mid yourself.
that said,it cant hurt to supercid, but if its not mandatory why?
+1 Me too
+1 I've supercid as well, changed a few times back to orginal CID because of warranty without problem.
Was going to start making some splash images for the one S but wasn't sure if I'd be able to flash them with s-on, anyone know if I can or not?

just tried to use one i made and its not working so i think we may need s-off for this
We need S-OFF.
I tried S-OFF and bricked my device today.

I have a rooted phone, S-OFF and a custom ROM and now I cant use it with SIM-card so I am thinking if I can return it to warranty.
So wich step should I take? Is it enough to just flash a stock ROM and then it makes the phone as it was before? Or is the S-OFF still going to be there? And I have dropped my phone before so have cracked glass, but this problem has nothing to do with that, is it an warranty-issue you think regarding to that?
Have seen that there are more then one Stock European ROM, wich one should I take?
You should still s-on just in case, use this tutorial on how to get it s-on and remove everything till it's stock

flash the proper RUU file from here

thanks, going to try this when returning home!
Hmm, I have done everything in that movie but in the last sequence when updating the ROM, I got an error-message that it could not update the phone. Maybe I choosed the wrong ROM?
Its says (translated from swedish) "ROM-updatetools cannot update your phone, get the correct ROM-updatetool and try again"
RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M_release_234765_signed
That one I choosed, living in sweden..and having a HTC Desire S
To make sure, try other RUU first

Wich one?
well I think I have made a mistake now, now it only boots in fastboot or Hboot, so cant boot a ROM at all. When running the RUU I should be in the normal mode right? Or can I start it from fastboot?
Any RUU other than the failed one. I suggest you use euro ruu as you are going to return it for warranty. I dont know if other ruu will void warranty or not.
Just run RUU exe, i think it works on fastboot ( i forgot ).
Sent from my HTC Desire S CoolDroid v6.0 via XDA Premium
Okay, will try all of them, the eurpean ones. But takes forever to download from that sites. Like 3 hours for one RUU :/
tryed another RUU, same problem!
Try look at the " how to s-on the noob way " . Im not sure if it helps.

Anyway, have a look in the stickies in the Android Development section. You'll find a resource compilation there which has links to RUU threads.

That depends on where you got your phone. If you got it through at&t you need to download an at&t RUU. If you got it through Rogers you need to download a Rogers RUU. And so on.

First off, if you're s-off running an ruu will not brick your phone. So, just run an ruu, relock, and generally s-off doesn't void warranty because some units ship with it stock.
