[Q] OTA update

I've got a question, my sensation is completly rooted and S-off.
If a new release gets available thrue OTA.
Can I instal this, like I updated the stock device to a newer version?
Thanks

If you have a custom-made ROM you cant get ota unless ota still in the ROM arhd doesn't have that option dont now about other roms,,
And if you can use a ota, you pose root.. and s-off or it has to be in the update

Can't get any non HTC made skins to work with it though

I don't think anyone with a stock T-Mobile UK branded phone (S-ON, non-rooted) has seen this update yet.

I asked HTC about it on their Chat thingy on their website someone told me "I am please to say that The Update is going live in Europe, but unfortunatly Orange UK id the only carrier getting the update at the moment." At least we know it's on the way! I guess.
I then said but Unbranded, T - Mobile, Vodaphone and others are getting it, the he repeated himself!

Only got it today on orange!

I think it's something to do with me having 1.28 software number and not 1.47, anyone with 1.28 been able to update?

I'm in the same boat, totally stock and unmolested unbranded 1.28 and no update :-(

While I was on 1.28 I couldnt even get updates to 1.47 never mind this one. I asked HTC to reflash my ROM to 1.47 a few days ago. This Android 2.3.5/Sense 3 update arrived last night and I have been playing about with it all day

Unbranded? Also will I lose my data if they do this?

Yes unbranded. Your data will Most definitely be lost! Thats why you should back up any contacts to SD Card/Google Contacts. Calender to Google Calender. Tasks are more complicated Wireless and other settings can also be backed up.

I have an UK DS, completely original and standard (2.3.3 and 1.28.401.1). Using it on Dutch KPN network and also no update.

I have it
I recieved it on Tuesday unbranded stock 1.47 good update.

As stated in another thread, I received my DS 2 days ago, and it came branded O2 with latest Android and Sense 3.0.

G'day champ,
Welcome back, begin with the guides provided below.
1. S-off, unlock, recovery, root & SuperCID
[Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on
2. Install the latest firmware, 3.32 is needed for the latest base.
[Firmware][Mar 30]User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24,3.30 & 3.32 Unlocked
3. Flash a ROM, Android Revolution HD(ARHD) is the most popular(for good reason)
[ROM] Android Revolution HD 6.5.5 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | 3.32.401.105
After all that, feel free to learn what you will, there's plenty to learn, it just requires reading, and problems, there's guides all over the Sensation forums, generally within the first couple of pages.

Thank you for all that. What is the firmware step for??

For what reasons exactly
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

You can root without doing supercid. Supercid is optional.
It allows you more flexibility though. Useful if you want to flash other areas/carriers rom. Personally I prefer to keep original cid.
Recently I couldn't receive ota update to ICS because I was supercid, then reverted to the original one and suddenly I received the Ota update notice.
It's up to you whether supercid or not and it's not a real concern because you can revert at anytime.

What is your current hboot version? Power off, pull battery, press & hold vol down and power to enter bootloader and read it off.
You have to check your hboot is supported by revolutionary- the tool to give you s-off.

And the OTA thing... Say i update my phone..will i lose root n such..
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

Yes you will lose everything and bootloader will become 1.27 (which is unsupported by revolutionary) Unless you have S-OFF before the update that is.
As for SuperCID, Its optional but HIGHLY recommended, As said before, it allows you to flash any firmware from any region....
If you dont have it, You MUST make sure it matches your CID or it wont boot... It can also be tricky to find one for your region (depending where you are)
It only takes a second, And its permanent and reversible

When i switch from rom to rom... Do i superwipe then flash rom everytime??
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA

You can do, but its not necessary, Have a look at the installation guide for the ROM your going to flash.... Usually if you are updating the same ROM wipe isnt needed..
If you are going to a different ROM altogether, A wipe is a MUST

[Q] Would you update it or not?

Hello everyone!
It's seems to look like another "would you upgrade the phone of your GF to ICS" (which can actually lead to tensions *skip lame part*), but it's not.
I have in my hands a sensation Z710e from Korea, still running gingerbread.
Being now in Europe (more precisely in Belgium), I would expect to have the ICS stock upgrade (cf. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570785).
But no update showing up on the phone. I guess the problem comes from the build (1.46.911.4 CL149869 RELEASE-KES) or the baseband (10.57.9035.00U_10.14.9035.09_M) which are Korean and not European.
Questions:
- Will I ever get any update of this phone, in Europe, OTA?
- Is it possible to update the baseband/build to have an European baseband (and follow OTA updates)?
- Is it dangerous (it's not my phone I don't want to brick it)?
- Should I follow this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298 with such a korean phone? I have no S-off for now, and phone version doesn't seem supported http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary?
Thank you in advance.

I'm not sure if or when you would get an update but I have rooted and s-offed two of my friend's phones including the sensation. I did the sensation a few months ago and they are happy with it

Can I change country with the help of the s-off ?
And did someone already try to change the country of the sensation?

S-off, change your cid to the local carrier and you should get the update. You'll want to s-off before the update anyways because you can't once your hboot updates.

I'm not sure in that one actually, I thought you meant changing the country by installing a local ROM. Personally I think I would super cid, s-off, and root and then install the local stock ROM or any of the other ROMs like Android revolution and then you could unroot and turn s-on if you wanted to, but it is all extra stuff to do.

GB to ICS Update India postponed to May 14th
dude dont worry you will definitely get the update... we in India are scheduled for next month

S-OFF takes 10mins.
Change CID take 10 seconds lol
Do them 2 steps and the Update should come through.
You dont have to CID, Just change it to unbranded Europe. But superCID is better and isnt any more complicated

Hey Bharat...
Who told u about our update next month? Ive been hounding those guys for days and they seem to have no clue...

Rooting my sensation

I just bought a new sensation and I want to root it.so do I go to revolutionary.com and just follow the steps?Is the stock firmware 3.32 or do I need to update it to that?after I get the s-off for security then next do I install 4 ext touch recovery?Is that just a program that I download onto my sensation?and after that's done then can I go ahead and start putting.whatever Rom I want to use on my sensation.I do want to mess up my phone,etc.could someone help me out here alittle bit.and what are some of the biggest reasons why a phone gets bricked?and is it true a phone can always be unbricked? Thanks in advance...
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

What is your Hboot version? First find out your Hboot version, then you
Can know exactly which method of rooting to use. Revolutionary uses specific h boot versions. So once you find that out then you can move forward using the correct guide. Hope this helps.

Thanks.after rooted how do I get 4 ext touch recovery on my phone is it just an app that I download?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

Hey, don't jump to rooting right away.
You first need to S Off or unlock your bootloader.
Here are the appropriate guides for you:
How to flash ICS 3.32 firmware | flash/update ARHD 6.6.x ICS ROM
Flashing roms with S-ON and 1.2x HBOOT
These are guides for flashing ROMs, & your Hboot version is very important to determine which method will work for you.
For now, it should be sufficient to read through the guide.
Don't try to do it right away, read first, understand & then proceed.

Thanks for the information.I have my sensation unlocked s-off.so I'm go to install 4 ext recovery app correct.

Do it through the steps mentioned in one of the 2 guides that I've linked you to.

Yes when the time comes you will really enjoy 4ext recovery. It is so nice with many features and is extremely user friendly! They also have some beautiful themes you can use on your 4ext recovery! I just flashed one yesterday called purple moon its soo nice. I think you will be very happy with 4 ext.The one I'm using is the newest version its called 2.41.
So far its been great.
