How to install the 1.45 RUU

I want to install the new 1.45 RUU because I heard that it has some optimizations that we don't get from installing roms. How do it do that? Is it something that can be flashed from clockworkmod? Do I have to undo revolutionary and S-off? Please if someone could walk me through it, I will be grateful. I'm sorry, I realize this is a noob question.

Just run the ruu that's what I did. U can flash cwm recovery again after

what optimizations are you talking about? i read this somewhere as well and asked many times on here what the difference between a ruu and a rom based on ota was and i finally got the dev baadnewz to reply and he said there is no difference??? now im confused again

So you stay s-off after you ran the RUU? And after reflashing cwm recovery, everything went back to normal?

If you have new hboot (2.00.002) and you are S-OFF, it means your phone has hardware S-OFF, using XTC clip. You don't have to unlock it. You can do right about everything with your phone without unlocking it.
So why is this

Try 'fastboot oem unlock'
Some first gen phone's were s-off to start with. Don't quote me on that, I'm guessing.

Because s-off/s-on and locked/unlocked are 2 different things. Trust me being s-off'ed by xtc clip is more then enough, you can install anything you want. I have a phone like that. Don't unlock, there is no need for that. You can flash any RUU if you want so and still stay s-off and then flash any custom rom, and then RUU again... I've done that all more then once.

Since your phone already is s-off,
You can root it now using a tool like superoneclick or something else.

Agree with the above.
What I personaly did is installed latest RUU 2.10.401.9 just to have the latest hboot and radio (since I have xtc clip s-off, I stayed s-off). Then rooted it with one click tool, flashed latest 4ext recovery and installed my favorite custom rom.

Are you kidding?? Already told you.
If it's already s-off, root it with superoneclick, install recovery like 4ext or cwm, backup everything and flash roms like it's going crazy.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
You could just follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
Then you'd have full S-OFF, then any ROM you like )
Here are some RUUs you could try, including 3.33. Depends if your CID is "HTC__001" or SuperCID I guess.

Enable smart flash (4EXT - tools) just before flashing the ROM.. That will mostly do..
If you have wifi issues/not booting.. Then do the extra1 step from asskickers Flashing roms with SON guide.
If the wifi still persists after that too.. Then re flash the rom again.. Without any wipe this time.. But need to enable smart flash this time too before flashing the rom..

All the custom ROMs OP will detail the pre-requisites r.e. firmware. Make sure you read them.
I would still advise you go get full S-OFF if you can, I've recently done it on 1.27.0000 and the paper clip hack was a little bit of a pain to get the timing right but it did work. It makes life much simpler. You could then, for example, downgrade if required
NOTE: currently HBOOT 1.29.0000 cannot be S-OFF'd so do it while you can.

Fair enough, if I'm wrong I'm sorry. I had read somewhere that 1.29.0000 had issues being S-OFF'd and 1.27.0000 was the most recent one that could. Guess the information I based my statement on was wrong.

It's normal that my bootloader show that is locked, when before I had unlock? I'm S-OFF

I guess you unlocked your bootloader first and then performed SOff which inturn locked your bootloader again. As you are sOff you can flash universal firmware and patched hboot.

Yes it's normal
It's just that you didn't flashed a patched hboot like juopunutbear/revolutionary hboot
Normally when you do soff.. At the end the tool will ask you whether you want a patched hboot.. Probably you said no for it.. Or in some cases flashing that will fail

Indeed no, I flash a hboot via htcdev, everything was ok, I did juopunutbear indeed.
My phone is ok (CM10.1) just was a question why it showed that
