[Q] [HELP]2.3.6 nand - HTC Sensation

This is probably a long shot but does anyone have a STOCK T-mobile 2.3.6 NAND back I can flash? I tried to update my HTC Sensation 4G to ICS via RUU since I rooted and such. Keeps failing due to some error, doesn't say which. I had some ROM on it but it couldn't connect to Wi-Fi and my mum was furious about that, so I attempted RUU, no beans.
I unlocked bootloader, S-ON, 4EXT TOUCH recovery.

i see that you still in gingerbread android
then you must use revolutionary.io method to S-OFF the device
it was unecessary to unlock the bootloader

I don't even want to bother with that anymore, I am just looking for a way to get back to stock T-mobile Gingerbread ROM.
EDIT: I constantly get error 155 no matter what version of the RUU I try.

[Q] Back to stock for OTA updates with SuperCID ?

First thing's first - I'm definitely not a newb.
My phone (Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA) is depended upon for work and person use. I've been playing with a lot of custom ROMs and each and every one of them has their own little quirks.
Because of this I have seriously considered going back to stock, but I want to be sure that I can receive OTA updates.
I realize that I can get everything back to stock via RUU, HOWEVER, with SuperCID in place, would I still be able to receive OTA updates? I've read that the RUU doesn't replace the SuperCID with the shipped value.
If not, how would I get the SuperCID back to the original value (which unfortunately I don't have - phone was bought used and already rooted) ?
Thanks so much!
You can get the OTA with superCID the RUU will unroot your phone and reinstall the stock recovery. You will need the stock recovery or you could Brock your phone
If you want to be on the safe side and rewrite your cid do the steps you did to get superCID but instead of 11111111 put T-MOB010 That should get you back on track

No cid will stay the same but that has nothing to do with how your phone runs that just allows you to install the ics custom rom because of the firmware updates needed to run them

after u flash stock rom
1. Super CID will remain
2. S-off still remain
I can download OTA from server but after download finish it will not install with the error about variant system (means we modified software).

Are you sure for this? From what I know IF you install stock ROM from RUU, it will automatically unroot the phone, get back to S-On and of course replace your bootloader with the original one. However to be honest I don't know what happens if you install stock from clockwork recovery - maybe that way the bootloader will not be replaced and you will still have S-Off and root.
TO JWhipple: The Super CID shouldn't matter for RUU. However you could always change it back to your phone/operator version before installing RUU.
@up: not in Sensation. After installing stock with RUU, S-OFF will remain still. To get S-ON back follow this guide. I'm sure, tested on my own Sensation
What would be the right order to go with:
Do you start with changing the SuperCID back to the original one forst or would you first have to go back to S-ON?
SIMPLY TELL ME ONE THING
that can we have official update after installing the latest ruu with s-on and unroot but with super cid?????
thanks

installing stock ruu doesnt change the phone to s-on or unroot.......but see the guide to do s-on then u might get the official updates
The ruu simply changes your rom to stock unrooted, changes radio, recovery and hboot. It doesn't change stuff like cid and s-off. In theory you can get ota updates with supercid and s-off. The only thing required, would be the stock recovery

Quick question, a few guides to going back to stock Sensation point or that you have to downgrade the firmware and radio. Is downgrading the radio (and firmware for that matter) necessary before flashing stock ROM with RUU? I did it with the last sensation before sending it in for warranty replacement, but only because the guide suggested it. But next time I wouldn't do it if I don't have to. Thanks ahead.

No it is not necessary. It will be required only if your device is S-ON and RUU version is older. Just remeber that if your phone is S-OFF and you want to put it S-ON again, do that after you have flashed stock ROM.

[Q] Will OTA ICS change HBOOT?

When I update to OTA ICS on tmobile will this update also update my hboot version?
Right now im 1.18 i think, im assuming hboot will change bc you need to be hboot 1.23 or higher for ICS?
Yes it will. If you're not s-off then I suggest you use revolutionary now while you can...

Thanks, I am s-off via revolutionary, and ive read that s-off wont change.
Ok so is their anyway to downgrade Hboot version after it gets upgraded. The reason why is i know the only hboot which supports both ICS and GB is 1.23, i like that flexibility

You're s-off. You can use whatever hboot you want (that's ICS compatible). I'd recommend 1.27.1100 revolutionary's unlocked bootloader...
If you're s-off then you don't really need to worry about changing your hboot though. You'll need to flash other firmware to go back to GB anyways, so why not just include 1.18 in that package?

why do u recommend 1.27.1100?
For me (due to my very noob status) flashing back to a GB rom from ICS would involve an xtra step of flashing hboot, id rather only have to flash the firmware, i dont know how yet to put things in "packages" With 1.23 i wouldnt need to worry at all about hboot, whether GB or ICS

I would recommend 1.27.1100 because it's unlocked, but really it doesn't matter.
Your hboot can be part of your firmware package. Just take your GB firmware package, unzip it, put your desired hboot in there, and rezip it. There's nothing difficult about it...
I use 4ext recovery control, and a couple firmware packages to swap back and forth all the time.
1. Use any file explorer to transfer the firmware package to the root of my sdcard.
2. Use 4ext recovery control "power menu" to reboot into recovery.
3. Flash rom or restore backup. (format or superwipe if necessary)
4. Use 4ext recovery power menu to reboot into bootloader.
5. Volume up to select bootloader from fastboot menu.
6. Flash firmware through bootloader.
7. Power to reboot... Done!

Works going either way, no battery pulls, no connecting to PC, no headaches! It takes about 10 minutes or less to go back and forth...
I just restored my stock rom this morning using the method I noted above with a firmware I packaged for stock GB which includes stock recovery and hboot...
Alright man, thanks for all your help, this clears it all up for me

So what's the advantage of having a unlocked hboot since from what you've told me before we can still flash CWM and root and install custom ROM on it as long asI am s-off?
I've updated everything now with OTA. Seems to run fine and no need to reinstall the apps and contacts.
I want to make a backup of this NAND now..so I guess I need CWM install to do the backup? But should I unlock the bootloader? Also, how about doing it via the officical HTC website? Does that work too or I have to flash the unlocked bootloader?
If you are already soff then there is no need to soff again through HTC dev

Please Help!

Ok,
So I've used roms on my hd2 and one x, so I thought this would be simple on a friends sensation, oh how wrong was I.
I have unlocked the sensation via htcdev, installed clockworkmod and installed pyramids jellybean rom.
Now I have all sorts of issues, the rom boots then drops somehow straight to clockworkmod. I can't mount the sd card within clockworkmod to try a different rom and the phone is now useless, doh.
How can I fix this please guys?
Did you update the firmware? Are you s off or s on? If your s on you must flash boot image. Download 4 ext recovery, enable smart flash in 4ext. This way you can flash boot image. Please read flashing roms with s on. Also for that rom the firmware must also be upgraded. Let me link you to the guide to flashing roms with s on. This will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Someone more knowledgeable than myself can give you step by step instructions to get you out of this pinch. But in the mean time read the link I posted about flashing with s on. It will help in the future. Best wishes not to worry I'm sure you can fix this.

HTC Dev doesn't really unlock it. It only partially unlocks it.
It doesn't s-off the device so you don't have access to the system partition, meaning you can't properly install a custom ROM without a few extra steps. And I don't think you can do it at all with clockworkmod. You need 4EXT Recovery which can flash a ROM with s-on. There's a few extra steps to doing it but it works.
You also have to make sure you have the correct firmware. So if the device was previously on a Gingerbread ROM and you didn't upgrade firmware, it won't work.
Now, the part where it boots then drops back into recovery is weird.
Tell us exactly what steps you did so we can better determine where something went flukely.
I'm CERTAIN it's fixable though.

Also some roms require 4ext it's a super easy touch recovery to use. You can download from here or the playstore.

Yeah I'm certain it's fixable too , just not sure how, lol. I'll give 4EXT a shot. I have no idea how or why it drops straight to clockworkmod either, I would expect it to reboot to clockworkmod if anything, but it just kind of switches from the rom straight to it, very odd.
If you could point me to a firmware I might need I would be very grateful.
It is universal 3.33 let me get link also 3.32 will work on most ics roms but 3.33 is the newest I'm running jelly bean and use 3.33

If you are s-off you shouldn't have to flash boot.img separately. It will do all that with the ROM flash.
Maybe that's what's screwy. Though a borked up ROM still shouldn't affect SD card mounting in recovery...that is really weird. Do you have a card reader that you can use to check the card out in your computer? I'm wondering if somehow you screwed up the card when flashing the ROM. Maybe it wont' mount because the card isn't formatted properly anymore. Stuff like that has happened before.

Yes if your s off you simply flash from recovery without boot img. But do update your firmware.

As far as I was aware S-ON just prevented the boot.img from being written via recovery, which can be done with adb. So the only reasons for these issues must be firmware version right?

Hi,
It is a pity you went to HTC to unlock your phone.

You are going to need to run a RUU,and hopefully get a working phone again.
Try and find a RUU HERE that matches your area and carrier.

Yup. If you have the 1.18 hboot you have Gingerbread firmware, which won't support Jellybean or ICS.
The good news is that you can flash a gingerbread rom and get the phone back to a working state right away if you need to get the phone back to the owner.
The RUU to restore is pretty simple. Then Revolutionary s-off proceedure is also extremely painless.
Reverting back to stock and starting over to s-off shouldn't take more than 15 minutes if you do it right. Then flashing the ICS/GB firmware (3.32 or 3.33) takes 3 minutes. Then the new rom takes 3 more minutes.
Just make sure you RUU to gingerbread and not to ICS. The ICS Hboots are harder to s-off. It's worth adding the extra step to flash the ICS/JB firmware later.

[Q] From ICS to JB

Hi, I have a HTC ONE XL for AT&T with S-OFF and unlocked bootloader. I have the nocturnal ROM based on ICS. Also HBOOT 1.01.0000.
I want to install a rom based on JB (This particular CleanROM 6.5 - ★ | Jellybean 4.1.1! |).
My question is with this hboot, can i flash a jb rom from ICS? Because I'm not sure if flash from recovery the zip of this rom bricked me.
It won't brick you. I'm not sure if you'll experience issues using such an old firmware with a ROM based on the latest softwate

Yes install the Ruu, then push twrp, then install CR. This will give you the latest firmware. CR by itself does not so it, and some gave experienced random reboots with older wifi firmware. Just be aware that a small subset of HOXL phones do not work well with Maps/nav under JB

thanks for reply! I did brick my phone when i try to install an official ruu 2 months ago, but i did fix this ($$$$). The problem is that I can not install because I have CID 111111 and CR root, bootloader unlocked etc
With s-off you won't brick running an ruu. Though my phone will no longer ruu properly but that's another story. I may post a thread about it in case others experience it so they know how to recover.

Something went wrong while RUUing and my hboot partition cannot be written over without clearing the cache first. So the RUU will get to the end and then fail. Everything flashed except the hboot. It's kind of funny because it looks like a brick when it happens but it remains in RUU mode so I can just fastboot flash the hboot seperately after and everything works but RUUs will no longer complete successfully Always half bricks.
How did it happen? Well I think it's because I was RUUing in a VM as I was running linux exclusively at the time. But during RUU the phone looses connection and I have to manually reconnect to my phone and I didn't realize so it interrupted the RUU. I'm just lucky I didn't end up with a full brick! ^_^

relock your bootloader before you run the RUU

is there a newer RUU that you can run on your device?

The only tips that I have are
put back stock recovery on your phone if you have changed it. (you will have to unlock bootloader to do this)
relock bootloader.
OH, and one time even though usb debugging was checked on the phone, I had to uncheck it and check it again before the ruu worked.
Will relocking bootloader automatically restore stock recovery? Cause I am trying to return to stock from S-off back to S-on and I am following this guide but in the HTC One S toolkit, the recovery section doesn't have a stock recovery to flash. I can use some help with this also, I want to see if returning phone to stock will fix signal drop issues and if not I will have to return it on insurance. My biggest problems are I do not have an RUU from my carrier so could use some advice as to which one to use? here is the link for RUU's but there isn't one for Cincinnati Bell wireless.
You need S-OFF
