Hi,
Are you s-off?
You are on Ginger Bread.
In order to upgrade you need to change the firmware,for which you need to be s-off.
Go HERE
When you get to the recovery step,use THIS ONE
Then,follow THIS GUIDE
All the stages require a lot of reading and understanding.
All the guides are set out in order.
Do not miss any steps.
Read,then,read it again

I'm assuming you are fully S-OFF.
Do you happen to know your CID at the moment ? If you have the Android SDK and the HTC drivers loaded. Find fastboot and type "fastboot getvar cid". You could SuperCID, i.e. change it to "11111111" then any RUU can be installed. Do you have the option in "About Phone" (sorry can't remember where under that) to update via OTA ?
If you want stock HTC Sense just get a RUU 3.32 or 3.33. Otherwise there are a s**t load of ICS custom ROMs available.

thanx for replying back

I had a quick look at the link and it seemed to have what you need for ICS to work (in.c BT and WiFi). Skype, VOIP etc are ROM/App dependant.
However, NOTE that when you install the new firmware your existing GB ROM will in all probability fail to work.
SO get a target ICS ROM to load up immediately after applying the firmware update.

Hi,
The firmware does not make those things work.
You mean the ROM.
And ,yes,they all work with that ROM.
But ,first you must update the firmware.
Follow joaquinf's guide that I gave you,and you will be fine.

Why you don't simply revert to original cid, flash stock recovery and then check for Ota update from your device?
After update (I think you will receive at least 3 ota update till latest ICS 3.33), you can flash again a custom recovery (CWM or 4EXT) and re-root.
Very easy.
No major issues with latest update to ICS, for me at least.
Cheers.

Enable smart flash in recovery...
If u r trying to flash ics Rom then u required ics firmware 3.33
Sent from my Sensation using xda app-developers app

If you don't already have it please download 4ext recovery. Then you will be able to enable smart flash. Because your S on you must use smart flash every time you flash a rom. Also make sure you have correct firmware as said in above post. Because your s on you must flash a bit differently than us with s off. I'm going to send you a link to flashing roms with s on. Skip down to where it talks about smart flash. This link will also show you how to permanently enable smart flash. Hope this is helpful.

Hi,
What ROM did you try to install?
You are on a GingerBread firmware.
You cannot load any ICS ROMS.
And you cannot change firmware or radio with s-on.
S-off for you would be possible using Revolutioary.
Look HERE

It's normal, because to install updated from HTC you need stock recovery. If you really want the update(latest has sense 3.6) you should flash stock recovery.
I suggest you try some custom ROMs, they are much better than stock in every possible way. Try ViperS and you won't get disappointed. It has sense 4.1 and sense 4.5 components with android 4.04
Edit: To flash Viper you need 4ext recovery

Okay, and how do i install that instead?

You can get 4ect recovery here or even on the market. Once you download the app just follow the instructions. If your s off do NOT enable smart flash, that's only for s on. It's pretty straight forward. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

[Q] Can't find the right RUU for my version

Hi,
I have a HTC Sensation which was provided by Vodafone which I want to restore to stock rom. I've had the Frankinstine AOKP Rom on it.
Details are:
CID: VODAP001
VODA-UK
Version: 3.32.161.11
I've been following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425
But step 2.4 asks you to find the right RUU and I can't find the right one for my version - can anyone help? Based on the instructions I'm looking for "RUU Pyramid 3.32.001" but can't find anything.
Any help would be much appreciated.

What's your radio?
Settings-->About Phone-->baseband version

Hi,
Are you s-off/supercid??
If not ,you could try THIS ONE
If it does not work,it will just give you an error.
No harm done.

@AndroidSupporter318 - I will post the radio version tonight as I don't have the phone on me right now.
@Alsager - how do I know if that last one is the right one? I'm not clear what I should be looking for.
@malybru - sorry I should have mentioned I am s-on so I can certainly try the RUU you've linked to and see what happens!

I am not sure to be honest. I think, you can try it. If it is not the right one, it will not work. @Marlybru might give you a more definitive answer.

Hi,
As he is s-on,he would not be able to use the one you have suggested.
The 10.11 radio would indicate a GB RUU,and he is on ICS firmware.

So my Baseband version is 11.69A.3504.00U_11.23.3504.07_M2
I'm going to try the RUU suggested by malybru and report back on the result. Fingers crossed!

Unfortunately that RUU didn't work - it said this utility cannot upgrade your Android phone, please try another one. Any other suggestions? Surely there must be a way I can revert to stock?
