Hello XDA-DEV-Team
I have bought a HTC Sensation over Ebay a few weeks ago, no problems so far, and im excited to use it. Also means i dont know what is installed on the phone (for example, i dont know which recovery, if it is rooted, if it is s-on/off, and what ever could explain the problem I am describing below), but if you tell me what to look for, I'll do my best to find it out for you.
I am recently recieving an message that i need to update my System: The update is called: 1.45.163.4 (43,19 MB) - Android 2.3
If I update my HTC Sensation it says it has to restart, then it restarts and then after 5-6 seconds i can see the following picture: - ok i cant post links yet - i get a white triangle with a yellow exclamation mark and blue android guy beneath it.

Is there any chance that i can update my phone?
do you plan to root and gain s-OFF?
that is a a screen before recovery, you manually have to hit the key combo to go into recovery, or thats the screen to see its its progress updating,
if you can boot into the bootloader by pressing Vol down and power
if you see s-off or "revolutionay" means your s-off if you dont see that means your fully stock

greetings krstn
what you have there is a s-off and rooted phone, if you go into recovery you should see a blue menu with a list of options at top should say "CWM recovery", go to the DEV section and choose a rom of your liking
(i recommend LEEdroid) and
thats the reason why you cant update, you are running a rooted phone with a custom recovery
Hello Sir,
Thanks ALOT for your help! you really I helped me, i installed LEEdroid now and it looks really nice and smooth!
thanks alot, i am a diffrent person now thanks to you.
Help

first flash 3.33 universal firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
after that you have to flash an ics or jb rom from recovery because your current rom won't boot with the new firmware
Hello guys,
Recently I bought HTC Desire S and the ROM on it is Cyanogenmod 7.2.
Now I am trying to install on official version of android 4.0.3. I downloaded the RUU from htcdev.com
RUU_SAGA_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_14.01.401.2_Radio_20.76.30.0835_3831.19.00.110_release_275068_signed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I plug the phone in PC and start the RUU, click few next buttons... till i get to the window to the Current information about your androud phone:
It says I got a ROM verson 2.10.401.4 and it needs to be updated to 14.01.401.2 (check picture 1)
After I click the next button and the wizard starts to update my phone. (check picture 2)
After one minute of that updating process I get the following error: (check picture 3)
ERROR [155]: Unknown Error
The only thing i can do is click recovery which doesn't help at all ....
Information about bootloader:
*** UNLOCKED ***
SAGA PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.02.0002
RADIO-3831.19.00.110
eMMC-boot
Recovery is 4EXT Recovery 2.2.7 RC5
So my question is what am I doing wrong, and how can I install official version of android on my phone.
Tnx for answers,
You want STOCK rom or is it just Sense 3.6 that interests you ?
If it's just for Sense 3.6, there are few customs roms all around here. but you're S-ON so you'll need to flash boot.img independently via adb..
Instead if you want a completly stock rom you can check this thread.
Ok, I relocked the bootloader now I am in updating process. I will tell you what will happend
Till now everything looks okay
Great, if update began then you shouldn't have any prob
XDApped from my pimped Desire S
Hi.
I have previously had CM11 working very well on my HTC One S. To get the carrier unlock to work I had to revert to a stock ROM to apply the unlock code. Now, I am trying to go back to CM11 but facing difficulties.
I used an RUU (RUU_Ville_U_H3G_UK_1.78.771.5_Radio_0.16.31501S.19_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258982_signed) and that works fine but I lose root when doing it. I still have s-off and super CID.
Anyhow, if I flash TWRP recovery 2.4.1.0 I can get into recovery and flash SuperSu but cannot then flash CM11.
CWM will not let me flash CM Recovery and if I try a newer version of TWRP or any version of CWM Recovery my phone will go to the bootloader screen thereafter but when I select "Recovery" the phone just starts normally and I cannot get into Recovery at all.....
Please can someone give me some help / advice / pointers.
My head is spinning a bit so hopefully I'm missing something simple.
FYI Bootloader says:
*** UNLOCKED ***

I recently bought a HTC Desire S secondhand, however when it arrived I turned it on to find that it just displays the HTC logo then a black screen. It has 4ext installed - which is what loads when try to do a factory reset.
I have no experience with installing custom ROMs but I'm pretty good at following instructions. I'm hoping that someone here will be able to tell me how to fix this!
Some more information, the boot loader menu says:

Read through sticky thread in General section it will get you started.

Not sure what version of 4EXT you have on your phone. Recommend you update it to a newer, if not the latest, version before you start flashing. Download recovery image file and flash via fastboot. Before installing a new ROM, choose "format all partitions except SD card' for a complete wipe.

Your phone is S-on so remember to flash boot.img whenever you flash a new ROM, otherwise it would mostly fail to boot.
Try Cyanogenmod first, It's not the latest and greatest, but a good and safe ROM to get you started

i went to install a 4.4.2 rom thru twrp and all went well up until i rebooted. now its stuck on htc screen.

i AM UNABLE TO GET INTO THE DEVICE BUT I AM ABLE TO USE FASTBOOT USB. AND RECOVERY THRU TWRP. i WOULD RATHER REFLASH CWMR AS THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE GOTO FOR RECOVERIES, NOT TOO SURE ABOUT TWRP. i WOULD REALLY LIKE A STEP BY STEP TO AT THE VERY LEAST GET MY STOCK ROM BACK UP AND RUNNING, THOUGH EVEN BETTER IF I COULD USE A 4.4. ROM. THE DEVICE WAS ROOTED BEFORE I FUDGED UP. i WOULD HAVE BACKED UP MY EXISTING ROM BUT HAD NOT ENOUGH SPACE. YA LIVE AND YA LEARN. WAS TOLD SOMEWHERE TO FLASH ROM THRU FASTBOOT BUT NOT ENTIRELY SURE HOW THAT WORKS. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT. THIS IS MY ONLY DEVICE AT THE MOMENT AND NEEDING ABIT OF GUIDANCE. THANKS GUYS AND GALS
