I'm trying to get back to stock hboot on my sensation so I can send it in for warranty. I tried running the stock 1.45 ruu and it didn't change. I tried running the 1.29 ruu and then running the OTA update and that didn't work either. Can someone just provide the stock hboot so I can flash that please?
-The method I used to unlock was unlocking through htc and then rooting through revolutionary.io
I've rooted my phone (HTC Sensation XE) and turned it to S-Off. I am running stock ROM and the instructions from the thread that I rooted it from says that I still need to flash stock ROM to unroot and remove Clockwork and Hboot, or I could brick it. The problem is, the RUU that I need is not availble for download (1.73.401.4). Would I be able to download a RUU with the same baseband number but instead of 1.73.401.4, say 1.73.401.2?
I really want my phone back to the way it was and if that other RUU decides to fail on me, would I be able to still unroot without flashing stock ROM? I know there's a risk with doing that and if you know, how big is it? Any help is appreciated and it would be awesome if you could link to the stock RUU (1.73.401.4 and 10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 baseband number)
Hey,
[i'm new here, but i couldn't find a post with this exact problem]
I've been using my HTC Sensation rooted for about 8 months now on 2.3.4/5, and with ICS officially being released i want to update to ICS.
I do have my phone rooted but i do not have any custom roms installed.
In theory it should just update OTA to ICS but when i try to update it my phone reboots and then it gives me this image of an android mascot besides a warning mark (the image didn't work.). Is this superuser blocking the update?
Now i'm wondering what is the best way to get ICS update to work.
At this moment i don't care if i lose the root on my device.
I've been thinking about flashing it so that it would remove the root, make it S-on and remove superuser. (basically make it like it was when i bought it.) and then updating it to ICS.
Any help with my problem or on how to handle the flashing will be appreciated.
If you're rooted, download 4EXT updater, flash 4EXT recovery, flash the 3.32 firmware, then flash an ICS rom.
If i'm correct that will give me a custom rom.
And at the moment i would like to keep the rom stock because i would like all the options to work.
If i'm wrong and it will update to stock rom, then i'll give it a go.
Otherwise is there a way to update to stock rom?
You can't be rooted to flash the OTA, and you HAVE to have the stock recovery too
alright so i need to unroot the phone and somehow manage to uninstall superuser (if it doesn't uninstall with the unrooting).
So my question then is,
Is this possible to unroot the device?
Maybe someone can link me to a good tutorial ?
You need to restore stock recovery and your oringinal Rom intact ( not delete apps in the stock rom). Stock recovery can be obtained from RUU.
Or just flash New firmware and custom Rom if your phone is s-off.

Guide for debranding or going back to stock.
Basically you need to download your stock RUU and go back to your original CID (if you supercided).
The guide basically covers almost all your concern in returning to stock rom and recovery.

i'll give that a go tomorrow and let you guys know what happend.
[dumb noob question!! this should make my phone look like it was when it came out of the box right?]
If i'm correct i need a RUU.
Is it possible to do this tutorial using the OTA update file i got for the ICS update?
Update
So,,
After 2 days of trying to download a good RUU file.
I still don't have it, filefactory always says that the free download slots are all taken.
So i would love if someone could tell me if it is possible to just flash the update file called:
OTA_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_R-1.50.401_release_252072fll6erqo75dsziua.zip
I would appreciate a reply telling me if this is possible or why it is not possible.
As said, you need to be on a stock unrooted rom and stock recovery.
Is your phone branded or unbranded. What RUU were you trying to download? 1.50.401.1 or else?
Also, did you supercid or not? if yes, you need to go back to original CID to get OTA.
Do not attempt do flash the OTA.zip from a custom recovery because it will fail.
I have RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_R_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_228602_signed wich is the latest GB for european unbranded devices. If this is what you are looking for, I could upload it for you. Let me know.
@kualmente

sure you can, if you are looking for stock rom, you can use this one, this ICS RUU from bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1581333... And please read the OP, so you will have stock looking phone.
Currently running s-off, rooted, on a GB rom. I'm looking to get as close to stock as I can, I don't mind if the phone stays s-off, I just want the stock ICS firmware and rom.
I should be able to flash the RUU of the ICS OTA and get the complete rom, firmware and everything, right? I know I will lose root, but that doesn't bother me right now.
Can anyone link me to the OTA ICS RUU if that is the route to go?

ARHD is the closest to stock. Try that.
There is a post with ruu for Ics stock rom. Just look for it carefully in the development.

The only thing I've done to my amaze is I unlocked the bootloader a few months back. I am on s-on, UN-rooted and I was wondering if there was a way to get my phone back to stock(GB) so I can get the ota ICS. I, being a noob, do not know if the other threads relate to me when they tell me to flash the stock ruu and do that whole procedure as I am not rooted. Again, I am fairly new at this so please be nice. Do i just use Hasoon's all-in-one-kit and flash the stock recovery and I'm set?
