my phone won't update over the air was wondering if anyone knew where i could download it and install it myself? couldn't find on the htc site
There are no official 4.2 update for sensation and seems it will not get it at all. If you want fresh Android version you can consider to buy another phone nexus4 for example. Personaly I will never buy htc phone ever.

Hi,
Sorry,I misread your post.
4.0.2 is ICS and has officially been available for some time.
If you are rooted,you can get a version of it in the dev section.
Android 4.0.3 is also out for Sensation. Get that

i mean if you want to flash an ICS 4.0.3 rom or ics firmware you have to be rooted first
and surely S-OFF for the ics firmware
Rooted is basically unlocking your phone and bypassing HTC security so that you can flash unofficial firmware and ROMs
Check in the Android Developing area for ROMs... IMO The 4.2 roms aren't running great as of yet...Still new technology for this phone...Give them some time. There is a great ROM I just came across today and tried that is OpenSensation - the latest 2.27.13 build. It looks just like the 4.2 roms (I've already flashed most of them) but it runs amazing on this phone. Its a 4.0.4 build and its simply fantastic. I would give it a try if I was you. Mind you, you will need to root your phone if you already haven't as well as get a recovery such as CWM (clock work manager).

Like my title, whose Sensation / XE already receive ICS FOTA ?because i saw some forum post the HTC official Europe ICS RUU for public download, i suspect that is fake official RUU.
The posted RUUs are leaked. They were built by HTC.

That's old news (beta). I think they were talking about a new stable official RUU.
Just seen someone comment about a new ota earlier on Google+. Could happen.

That can be found with the search button but iirc:
If you update the update will be downloaded but not installed
Then you have to boot in recovery and install updaet yourself
nothing new from HTC sources?
ICS for Vodafone Sensation, now out UK
300MB + downloading now
4th post on this now...perhaps search next time
Your version number will be 3.32.161.11 when you're done
Is this an OTA update ? Where can I get the RUU so I can extract some files from it ?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA
Yes it's the OTA, RUUs will appear in the Shipped ROMs thread if/when they're leaked

Well you need to unlock bootlader, you can do that with official htc website, then you need to root your phone and flash custom recovery. After that you can do nandorid backup in custom recovery. All the information you need is here.

You can try with this tool, it suppose to work on all devices even with unlocked bootlader and unrooted phone.
just updated my phone too. i didn't even know that there was some issues with the camera and the speakers. my phone is having problems with some evil demons inside it, i only hope that this update exorcised it!!!!
isn't there some release notes for this update, so that we know what are the improvements and what bugs were fixed?
it's probably the bugs that are inside stock jellybean . someone back it up so we could use the update copy of the jellybean stock rom but for the hboot 2.11 like me we will have a slight problem dude the different hboot

Hi Gang,
My wife has one of these phones , it's unlocked and she is using it on TMobile.
The other day my S3 updated to 4.1.2 and she was like " why dont I get software updates" ( she's still on gingerbread - 2.3 I think ). I told her "cos you are using a ATT phone on TMobile "
My question - If we update the software will the phone have to be unlocked again or once unlocked always unlocked ? Make any sense ? I hope so.
Thanks for the help !
What is her software version exactly? HTC only updated this phone through GB; it never got ICS officially.

I'm not sure if you're asking or telling me that that's not ICS, but if you're asking, no, it's not. Just a GB update.

2.3.3 Android
2.1 Sense
is her current versions
The Inspire was never officially updated to JB. the last update was 3.20.502.52 and that was from ATT. This phone was never released as a unlock version. And who ever had it before you probably got a code from ATT to unlock it or 3rd party. Unless the phone was unlocked through a root method. If you want to know if the phone is rooted, just Hold the power button and volume down button when you start the phone. Look for S-Off, on the menu.
The difference between what you have and what was released is supposed to be better battery life, new radio, and new sense. It doesnt seem its worth updating to new software. If you are able to root it, then you have more options.

There is an update for the phone to version 2.3.5 gingerbread and sense version 3.0. You can download from HTC website. However, as mentioned above rooting may be the way to go. This phone was never officially supported past version 2.3.5.

Hello everyone,
I recently bought HTC Sensation 4g (T-mobile) and it's already S-OFF, rooted (Superuser by ClockworkMod) and recovery is CWM 5.0.2.0 and it has stock rom Android 2.3.4. Recently, I got alerted about an update of 4.0.4 for my HTC then I downloaded it but can't install it so I guess it's because it's rooted. I really want to install 4.0.4 on my HTC sensation 4g then I searched up for roms until I found this rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654347
Now, my question is, how should I flash it? Should I normally just flash it via CWM or via odin? Or I will have to go back to stock recovery for flashing the rom that Steve0007 posted on the thread linked above. And just to confirm, is it compatible with my device?
Android: 2.3.4
HTC Sense: 3.0
Software number: 1.50.531.1
Thanks!

First upgrade your firmware to 3.33universal
Go to the development section and search for kohr-ah's thread
Follow the instructions carefully and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
After that you have to flash an ics or jellybean Rom because your current Rom won't boot with ics firmware
Edit:do not never use Odin for anything.it is not for sensation devices
