Hi,
If you have s-off rooted phone,why on earth do you want OTA?
A custom ROM should have the OTA function switched off.
It will only mess up your phone by mixing HTC updates with custom ROM updates.
Anything released by HTC will soon be incorporated into custom ROMS.
If you want OTA updates,then s-on and do it.

A lot of people dont load a custom rom after s-off. They have most likely run the Revolutionary tool to root then just stick with stock in which case OTA updates will keep prompting.
As previous post says you cannot update OTA if a custom recovery has been flashed. Go to the Sensation Android Development section and search for a pre-rooted version, download, copy to SD card and flash in recovery.

OTA update question

I see mixed answers with this but can u still get OTA updates with s-off? S-off only, No root, stock rom etc.

I've asked this too and like you was still a little confused. Hope someone can shed an authoritative light on this.

You will get the OTA updates if you have the stock recovery installed as well as the stock rom.
When I first rooted to debrand from Vodafone to generic UK, I wasn't getting the OTA update for 1.50.401.1 when it was available, and it was because I still had clockworkmod recovery installed.
I flashed the original recovery, and the OTA update suddenly appeared.
I still had S-OFF.

Sorry, I'm a n00b...so S-off is okay but don't root yet?

I think both S-OFF and root are okay as long as you are on stock rom and stock recovery.
Definately S-OFF because I always have been since I debranded and have received 2 OTAs since then. I *think* I've been rooted too, but not 100% sure about that.

Thanks mate, was quiet confused with the mixed answers

Yes thank you!

OTA ???

Hi!
If i`m s-off i can`t receive OTA updates ? sorry for question

As far as I'm aware, s-off means absolutely NO OTA. But you can, download the OTA zip and flash using stock recovery.

I may be wrong but my understanding of S-off just allows you to flash custom software like ROMs and recoveries. I don't think it has anything to do with you being able to recieve OTA updates. What hinders you from receiving OTA updates is the custom software itself. The device only looks for the OTA for the ROM it is running. If you are S-off and have a custom recovery but still have the stock ROM you should still get the OTA. You can also use any recovery custom or stock to flash the OTA if you download the zip file for it.

I'd head some people not getting it S-OFF, going back to S-ON and then getting it but might just be coincidence

Hmm. I thought stock s-off + OTA = bootloop?
Or is that a hangover from my Bravo days...

Root ICS on Sensation?

.. for now Sensation is rooted (GB, s-off, stock) but I guess s-off will be gone after recovery, so is there a chance to root it again, but this time (after) OTA ICS?
thanks!

S-OFF isn't touched, so you can reflash CWM/4EXT via HBOOT once the update is done. You need to be 100% stock otherwise to get the official update, though

.. I see, as I understand s-off wont be gone after recovery (with original RUU) and then I'll run OTA ICS, should I be able to root again when on ICS?
thanks!

OTA Update When Rooted

My phone is currently rooted, but I'm running the stock T-mobile rom. I just checked today and there was an update available. Will installing the OTA update causes any issues or brick my phone?

You will loose root I believe.

It will update your HBOOT though, and you need stock recovery.
