Hi,
If you have s-off rooted phone,why on earth do you want OTA?
A custom ROM should have the OTA function switched off.
It will only mess up your phone by mixing HTC updates with custom ROM updates.
Anything released by HTC will soon be incorporated into custom ROMS.
If you want OTA updates,then s-on and do it.

A lot of people dont load a custom rom after s-off. They have most likely run the Revolutionary tool to root then just stick with stock in which case OTA updates will keep prompting.
As previous post says you cannot update OTA if a custom recovery has been flashed. Go to the Sensation Android Development section and search for a pre-rooted version, download, copy to SD card and flash in recovery.
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.

alright, can i use any vodafone stock recovery for my device?
and is there a tutorial around? for noobs like me?

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
I would appreciate it if you could upload your RUU so i can use it.
As for the phone,
I still have stock rom and recovery, i only rooted it and did supercid.
So when i have a RUU file for my unbranded Sensation i can follow this toturial:

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.
Im on 1.82 rooted/unlocked, but i wanna update to 1.85ruu so my question is, how can i update and keep my device rooted? I don't want to take any risk with the new 1.85 one click root...
You need to read more. This information is easily available in other threads. You don't need to use the one-click root to update to 1.85 if you already have bootloader unlock. Just relock bootloader, run RUU. Re-unlock, then install CWM and flash SuperSU from CWM. You will then be on 1.85 and rooted.

Hi Friends,
Have a few questions pls, Thanks in advance.
1 What is the difference between official OTA update & RUU update?
2 Is it required to have a rooted phone to make RUU?
3 In case a phone is rooted already, will it be able to be updated by official RUU?
4 Are there any diff betwee n OTA & RUU in terms of settings, regional configuration, stability.. .etc?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
1. OTA is incremental and doesn't erase anything. RUU is complete and erases everything.
2. No.
3. Yes.
4. Completely different things, since OTA is incremental and upgrades your existing ROM. Can't compare apples to oranges.
Thanks, but what is the major disadvantage of RUU, I understand it will erase all my data & will have to restore data & applications, is there anything else that make it a second choice?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
Why is it second choice? It's not about choice, it's about picking the right tool for the job. When you want to get OS upgrade, OTA is better - because you get the upgrade without extra pain (without starting everything from scratch). When you suspect your phone is misbehaving, or for some other reason want to restore your phone to the stock state - RUU is the way to go. They're not "better" than each other, they're different, for different occasions.
And im new to this stuff and if you can say or give the link to the thread where i can find what ota is it would be perfect, i searched xda but all i found was roms with ota
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
OTA is "Over-The-Air", so unless it arrives to your phone automatically, as it's supposed to - I believe people aren't keeping OTAs anymore. Once, when Nexus One was still considered a new phone, they did - but not anymore, for a long time now. In the forum you'll only be able to find RUUs, I believe.
In case a phone is rooted already, will it be able to be updated by official OTA?
It seems that OTA does not work for me anymore after I S-OFF'd and rooted.
I know also flashed a new radio. Does that affect the possibility of OTA in any way?
Cheers.
OTA doesn't care about rooting or S-OFFing. If there is OTA standing - it'll be delivered to the phone. Installing it might be problematic (can't be installed by custom recovery without disabling signature check), but the delivery WILL happen. S-OFF doesn't affect OTA in any way. If you don't get OTA - that's because there is no OTA, the servers are stopped.
I see. Signature check be the problem. Any solution for that?
This is only relevant if you have stock rooted ROM and custom recovery.
In that case, you need to locate the ZIP file downloaded by system update, and install it manually in recovery, skipping signature detection.

5. I've just received this system update OTA - 1.47.61.1 or later. If I install it, will I loose my S-OFF and root?
- Yes, you will lose both S-OFF and root once you update because it will update the hboot to 0.98.0002. However, you can try following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16110608&postcount=5 to update the OTA but not the hboot. Check this one out also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1190992 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194488 to S-OFF and root if you have updated the OTA.

I decided that it is probably not a good idea to go down to OTA route.
Hi,
I had the stock rom RUU_Saga_S_HTC_ARA_2.14.415.3_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U and I wanted to install the European RUU_Saga_S_HTC_Europe_2.10.401.9_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U. But in the install process there was an 155 error. I tried some times but the same result. I read here a lot and finally I unlocked the phone HTCDEV as my hboot is 2.00.0002 and flash 4EXT_Recovery_v2.2.7_RC5 and ICE_DS_4.4 rom.
I experience some problem with this rom, so is it possible to install the european ruu of GB?
Yes, if you use goldcard or if you're SuperCID (which can only happen on this phone if you unlock it with XTC-Clip).
If you didn't understand something from the above - Google it.

I know the words goldcard and supercid. I saw few threads name them . Thanks for the reply I will try the goldcard.
So i made my sd card Goldcard. what's next, in order to install stock european ruu GB? some guidance maybe?
Relock your bootloader and immediately install (without exiting FASTBOOT USB mode).

I relocked the phone and when i try to install the european ruu it gives me the error 140, and stuck in bootloader. Then I install the ARA ruu and all gone well the phone runs well.
The problem though exists. I want the european ruu and not the ara ruu. Any ideas?
Hi there. Got a message on my phone to install new JB Update, BUT, my one S is rooted, hboot 1.16 ,TWRP Recovery, Rom stock 4.0.4.
I probably need to relock bootloader and flash stock recovery. I tried to find some nooby guide about that but no joy and after seeing that a few people bricked their phone I want to be sure Im doing everything correctly. So.
1. Do I need to flash stock recovery first?
2. If so then maybe relock bootloader. How?
3. Run Update. How?
Thanks for answer.
And merry Xmas.

You need to unroot and relock bootloader. After you do this you download and install the update and then you re-unlock bootloader and re-root you want

You can just flash the stock recovery. And change CID to HTC__001.

I am useing t mobile with 2.31.401 .If i will change super cid to HTC__001 will be save to install ota sense4+ update?
i don't think he is or else i would have gotten the same message of JB
regarding your phone, i would suggest relocking and unrooting, else it may crash...
i have the same question, im new with my htc one s and i got it already rooted and it runs on a viperoneS so i dont have any idea on how the 1st owner did it and i dont know anything about modding this phone. i try to look at one s forums on how to go back to stock but no luck.
info of my phone( the things i know on my phone)
unluck bootloader
rooted with supersu
clockworkmod (inside this program i saw 3 recoveries in the backup/recovery menu, oneS ics stock, oneS ics rooted, viperoneS)
my one s runs viperoneS 1.2.1
now i want to get back to stock rom because i want to update to official jellybean.
i hope someone can teach me or lead me on how to do it.
OR
should i just wait for viperoneS to update to JB?
Thanks in advance peeps
What's this talk of people bricking during the ota with supercid? I was under the impression that taking an ota while unlocked is a bad idea

It's usually not a very good idea to install an OTA whilst unlocked, there's a small chance it will mess up (higher than if it were locked). But what doubles that chance is if you have SuperCID, the new JB OTA messes up at least 60% of phones with SuperCID. I don't know why, since SuperCID is supported in the android-info.txt.
It might be because when you're SuperCID'd, does it say that in HBOOT? If a new HBOOT like 2.15 needs to overwrite the previous one, it might cause problems. That's just a guess though, and doesn't explain why it went smoothly for other people.
