when you flashed 3.32fw or 3.3fw then you had to install an ics or jelly bean rom
an older rom won't boot with these fw versions
if you want stock rom see here

Hello, due to a loooong story, I have hboot 1.23 and well as some of you may know its terrible, I now cannot flash any files at all via hboot and my firmware is 3.12 but the problem is I love ics and so, can anybody please find me any roms that have ics and run on firmware 3.12 not 3.24 or anything else. It will probably be android version 4.01 or could be 4.03 but it would have stated firmware 3.2. I don't mind even if the roms are outdated versions of the newest version of roms, such as arhd 6.0.0 instead of what is being used now.
Thanks.
Do you have s off? If you do just flash the firmware that has the 1.27 unlocked h boot 1.27 and flash the ICS Rom you want.

no i dont have s-off.I tried to get to stock and wrote s-on incorrectly (apparently).
Now i can't really do anything until revolutionary updates, i have to stay with the ooooold roms.
COREDROID 4.0 works on 1.23, the problem is you can't flash radios which isn't in this ICS ROM. So you're s on. I am assuming you used HTC unlock. I assume you have root and custom recovery. What did you do exactly.

I used to run Virtuous Inquisition on HBOOT 1.23, in fact I've only recently changed to 1.27.
How did you change to 1.27? I thought hboot 1.23 did not have firmware flashing or any advanced fastboot commands...

Well yes. I had to use HTCdev because I wrote s on wrong and my bootloafer was locked so I ran htcdev, flashed recovery and now I'm s-on without being able to change ny hboot or anything at all now.

If you have s off you can flash any firmware with 1.23. Why do you refuse to understand that 1.23 s on is your problem, yes you are in fact stuck there. No matter how many threads you ask the same thing in, sorry but it's the truth.

Guys. Im on ICS 4.0.3 and would like to return to stock Gb. How can I do so without running ruu.exe.
Is there a pg58img zip file I can fast boot flash to do so?? Have no PC at the moment.
Hope you can help

You can flash the 3.12 firmware and then you should be able to flash a Stock ROM.

Best option is to install the RUu fron shipped RUU op in development thread it returns to stock s on and unroot. I couldn't because I have no pc at the moment. Find the one specific to your.network and the LE editions are for XE sensation .

Is it any chance to flash some sense 4 ROM into my Sensation with official update of ICS ? I unlocked bootloader from htc website but still s-on hboot 1.27?
Is any way maybe to downgrade to gingerbread or other solution for this ?
No. There are countless threads saying Revolutionary S-OFF is needed on Gingerbread before upgrading. Please read, now you will have to wait until someone finds a way to unlock it on the new HBOOT.
Don't use HTCDev. You're just letting HTC know you've rooted your phone. I'm not sure why people even use it - maybe because they think it's "official" or something. Oh well.

No. Well actually you can, but 95% that your phone will not boot
You want a Sense 4 ROM? Then flash one from the Development section?
You want official ROM? Do not flash on a rooted/S-Offed phine- use the RUU.
By the way the development sub-forum has a lot of guides and answers

Thanks but I already did official update to ICS and now no way back until someone make it possible.
Why then on htc official site say unlock bootloader to flash custom rom if it is not possible because s-on ?
I remember unlocking my bootloader. It actually does not S Off. But I managed to root. Problem though is that my phone in running on ICS. Theres no way I can get my phone to S Off, and now cannot flash a custom ROM.

You can flash roms after htc Dev unlock. Install custom recovery, flash rom. Does anyone read this forum before asking questions?

Dear XDA-developers, readers and other people!
I have a Sensation (Vodafone NL Branded) with software;
Android Version; 2.3.4
HTC Sense Version; 3.0
Software number; 1.50.162.2
Smallband version; 10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M
The phone is S-Off (Revolutionary) but still has stockrom.
Superuser is installed (can not uninstall it).
No i would like to install the OTA update i received from HTC/Vodafone;
3.32.162.11 (302.59MB) - Android 4.0
When downloaded, the phone is preparing to install and restarts.
For a second i see the progressbar and than i only see a droid with an warning sign.
Why can't i install the update?
Please help me.
I have been reading forums for 4 day's and tried things like recovery software, but it did not work.
I am a noob, so please make it in easy language!
Thanks a lot!!!
I'm not sure about the Sensation, but on the Desire when you S-OFF with alpharev, your new hboot is protected. To fix this you have to install an unprotected hboot.

Firstly and most importantly if you have Su installed you are rooted you can not install ota updates whilst you have a rooted handset
The only thing you can do is download the official stock European ruu here
http://db.tt/OWcAvh1S
Follow this thread to change your cid to unbranded one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16140388
Connect your phone to your pc make sure USB debugging is enabled and follow the on screen instructions this will remove root from your phone but it will remain S-off
Once installed you can check for updates and install ICS

At the OP, do you have the stock recovery or a custom recovery lime Clockwork Mod Recovery? If you have a custom recovery then tho sis why you can not install the official update. You must have the stock recovery.

Frank, so you have S-OFF and are rooted but still on a stock ROM. Do you have a custom recovery installed, like ClockworkMod or 4EXT? If you do, then you need to go back to stock recovery in order to be able to install OTA updates.
You also havent mentioned if you are receiving any error/warning messages during installation of the update. Knowing what you're seeing on the screen could help in determining a specific course of action.
Hi Guys!
I have installed a unbranded (stock) Rom and after that my Sensation didn't find ICS OTA.
So i downloaded the ICS Rom from XDA and installed.
So i'm on ICS now, but will not receive stock updates OTA.
And not on my stock rom, because i didn't make a backup
Thanks all!

You can download the official RUU of the stock ROM for your Sensation and then connect your Sensation to your computer and run the RUU. Go to here to download the RUU. I suggest you download the one that says " RUU_Pyramid_Vodafone_IT_1.45.165.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.0" as it looks like it is the most recent RUU. You will probably have to do a OTA to get back to the 1.50.162.2 ROM you was on. Remember this though the RUU will make your Sensation S-on again so you will have to S-off your Sensation again after you have installed the OTA back to the 1.50.162.2 ROM. If you do not and you flash the ICS OTA then it will change your Hboot and Revelutionary is not compatible with that Hboot yet.
Edit: If the RUU I suggested is not the right region for you, I think it is for Italy, then look at the other four Vodafone RUUs. Two of them are for France, one is for Germany, and one is for the UK. But you may have to do more than one OTA to get back to the 1.50.162.2 ROM so you can get the ICS OTA if you have to use any of those RUUs

I want to flash ics based arhd like roms.After that can i unroot and claim warranty by flashing 1.45.720.1 ruu for india above ics without bricking.?
Sorry for being like noob becoz am new to htc
Nobody have experience in flashing stock gb over custom ics.?

to flash the ARHD you need the 3.32 fw which is the ics one and then if you want warranty back you just need to run a RUU from your pc...there are a lot of guides out there that teach how to unroot....
