Can u help me to restore to stock rom, or can you give me link to do that?
I hope you can help me with my prob.

You want to flash a tmobile ruu, there's a dedicated thread which stores all ruus.
I don't remember if you need to relock before using the ruu, be sure to check that out.

Hey,
[i'm new here, but i couldn't find a post with this exact problem]
I've been using my HTC Sensation rooted for about 8 months now on 2.3.4/5, and with ICS officially being released i want to update to ICS.
I do have my phone rooted but i do not have any custom roms installed.
In theory it should just update OTA to ICS but when i try to update it my phone reboots and then it gives me this image of an android mascot besides a warning mark (the image didn't work.). Is this superuser blocking the update?
Now i'm wondering what is the best way to get ICS update to work.
At this moment i don't care if i lose the root on my device.
I've been thinking about flashing it so that it would remove the root, make it S-on and remove superuser. (basically make it like it was when i bought it.) and then updating it to ICS.
Any help with my problem or on how to handle the flashing will be appreciated.
If you're rooted, download 4EXT updater, flash 4EXT recovery, flash the 3.32 firmware, then flash an ICS rom.
If i'm correct that will give me a custom rom.
And at the moment i would like to keep the rom stock because i would like all the options to work.
If i'm wrong and it will update to stock rom, then i'll give it a go.
Otherwise is there a way to update to stock rom?
You can't be rooted to flash the OTA, and you HAVE to have the stock recovery too
alright so i need to unroot the phone and somehow manage to uninstall superuser (if it doesn't uninstall with the unrooting).
So my question then is,
Is this possible to unroot the device?
Maybe someone can link me to a good tutorial ?
You need to restore stock recovery and your oringinal Rom intact ( not delete apps in the stock rom). Stock recovery can be obtained from RUU.
Or just flash New firmware and custom Rom if your phone is s-off.

and is there a tutorial around? for noobs like me?

Guide for debranding or going back to stock.
Basically you need to download your stock RUU and go back to your original CID (if you supercided).
The guide basically covers almost all your concern in returning to stock rom and recovery.

i'll give that a go tomorrow and let you guys know what happend.
[dumb noob question!! this should make my phone look like it was when it came out of the box right?]
If i'm correct i need a RUU.
Is it possible to do this tutorial using the OTA update file i got for the ICS update?
Update
So,,
After 2 days of trying to download a good RUU file.
I still don't have it, filefactory always says that the free download slots are all taken.
So i would love if someone could tell me if it is possible to just flash the update file called:
OTA_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.5_R-1.50.401_release_252072fll6erqo75dsziua.zip
I would appreciate a reply telling me if this is possible or why it is not possible.
As said, you need to be on a stock unrooted rom and stock recovery.
Is your phone branded or unbranded. What RUU were you trying to download? 1.50.401.1 or else?
Also, did you supercid or not? if yes, you need to go back to original CID to get OTA.
Do not attempt do flash the OTA.zip from a custom recovery because it will fail.
I have RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_R_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_228602_signed wich is the latest GB for european unbranded devices. If this is what you are looking for, I could upload it for you. Let me know.
@kualmente
I would appreciate it if you could upload your RUU so i can use it.
As for the phone,
I still have stock rom and recovery, i only rooted it and did supercid.
So when i have a RUU file for my unbranded Sensation i can follow this toturial:

sure you can, if you are looking for stock rom, you can use this one, this ICS RUU from bootloader http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1581333... And please read the OP, so you will have stock looking phone.
I was wondering if anyone could post a guide for rogers users to flash custom roms since they are all based of att roms. I have read it involves changing the Super CID or something. Anyhelp would be appreciated.
Thanks
same here, need rogers guide for help

it is recommended to change your CID to SuperCID, however, for rogers users we don't need to..since our bootloader is unlockable from htcdev straight.
for custom roms.
1. unlock your bl if you havent
2. flash the custom recovery image, cwm or trwp..
3. put ur custom roms in your internel sdcard, and go from there.

yes, then you need to change to supercid and then relock your bootloader.
flash 1.85 ruu
unlock your bootloader
flash cwm
then flash cleanrom 2.1

This is the part that is confusing...we do or do not need to have SuperCID? For one, I have been holding off on installing any of the custom ROMs as im not sure about this step. I've been unable to successfully get SuperCID on my rooted/unlocked/CWM installed Rogers HOX. Would love to try some of the new ROMs. A Rogers specific guide would be awesome. Anyone up to it?

I'm pretty sure you only need SuperCID if you plan on using any of the other region's RUUs.
I think that the normal CID should be fine for just flashing CWM ROMs

That clears things up...So I just copy a ROM to the phone memory, enter CWM and select it?

Read the top post of the ROM thread you want to flash. It will usually tell you if there are any extra steps.
In particular, some ROMs may require that your kernel be from a certain firmware version. For example, many of the ROMs right now are based on the 1.85 kernel. But you can often flash the newer kernel by pushing the boot.img for the custom ROM using fastboot. But it should say in the particular ROM thread you are looking at.

What ROM do you want to flash? CleanROM 2.2 and Xi40 now have flashable boot images (boot.img). So no need to update to 1.85 first.
Sweet...gonna give it a try!
Hey guys i just installed Trickdroid 2.1.0 for my villec2. HTC One S with the S3 processor. I just wanted to know i there are kernels which i can use other than the one coming with Trickdroid, The one with this rom is the stock one and cannot be overclocked. And the rom is not customisable like any other custom ROM.
Are there kernels for the VilleC2? If there are please let me know. Im gettting the feeling HTC ripped me off. Any other tweaks, addons, would also be welcomed.
If any dev is viewing this please please please please!! give us some love too.
hey i'm guessing you bought your phone from India... so did you get the Stock RUU for our phone or did you just risk it without the stock RUU? sorry if my questions are stupid but i'm a noob to HTC... my previous devices were all motorolas

What i did was unlocking the bootloader on htcdev website. Then using fastboot commands flashed a recovery. Then flashed a superSU zip through recovery . Then NAND backup and flashing of ROM. Then flashing boot.img using fastboot commands. And yeah India :good:

Hey did you manage to lay your hands on the Indian RUU. I have the 2.09 Hboot. I made a NANDROID on before flashing Trickdroid 4.0 but went on boot loop. That also locked my SD so had to format it and lost my Stock. I have the European RUU but had CID issues. Any advice on how to move on to 4.0.4
Needless to say I have the S3.
Hi there. Got a message on my phone to install new JB Update, BUT, my one S is rooted, hboot 1.16 ,TWRP Recovery, Rom stock 4.0.4.
I probably need to relock bootloader and flash stock recovery. I tried to find some nooby guide about that but no joy and after seeing that a few people bricked their phone I want to be sure Im doing everything correctly. So.
1. Do I need to flash stock recovery first?
2. If so then maybe relock bootloader. How?
3. Run Update. How?
Thanks for answer.
And merry Xmas.

You need to unroot and relock bootloader. After you do this you download and install the update and then you re-unlock bootloader and re-root you want

You can just flash the stock recovery. And change CID to HTC__001.

I am useing t mobile with 2.31.401 .If i will change super cid to HTC__001 will be save to install ota sense4+ update?
i don't think he is or else i would have gotten the same message of JB
regarding your phone, i would suggest relocking and unrooting, else it may crash...
i have the same question, im new with my htc one s and i got it already rooted and it runs on a viperoneS so i dont have any idea on how the 1st owner did it and i dont know anything about modding this phone. i try to look at one s forums on how to go back to stock but no luck.
info of my phone( the things i know on my phone)
unluck bootloader
rooted with supersu
clockworkmod (inside this program i saw 3 recoveries in the backup/recovery menu, oneS ics stock, oneS ics rooted, viperoneS)
my one s runs viperoneS 1.2.1
now i want to get back to stock rom because i want to update to official jellybean.
i hope someone can teach me or lead me on how to do it.
OR
should i just wait for viperoneS to update to JB?
Thanks in advance peeps
What's this talk of people bricking during the ota with supercid? I was under the impression that taking an ota while unlocked is a bad idea

It's usually not a very good idea to install an OTA whilst unlocked, there's a small chance it will mess up (higher than if it were locked). But what doubles that chance is if you have SuperCID, the new JB OTA messes up at least 60% of phones with SuperCID. I don't know why, since SuperCID is supported in the android-info.txt.
It might be because when you're SuperCID'd, does it say that in HBOOT? If a new HBOOT like 2.15 needs to overwrite the previous one, it might cause problems. That's just a guess though, and doesn't explain why it went smoothly for other people.

Hey guys,
im pretty done at the moment.
I'm trying to get back to stock on my HTC Sensation and already spent like 3 hours to get it.
So, my current infos:
unlocked
s-on
hboot 1.27
ARHD custom rom
ext4 custom recovery
So, i downloaded equals roms from here: http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Pyramid (equals with the ARHD rom, i already tried others, but it still fails)
but i dont know what to do now.
When i relock bootloaded it fails, when im on ROM the itself it fails.
What should i do actually? i followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425
But i dont get it - do i really need s-off to go back to stock?
Isnt there an easier way to do it? im pretty done at the moment and simply want to have it stock, help me guys...
// PS my CID is this: VODAP102 and i already tried to run this: RUU-Pyramid-ICS-Vodafone-DE-3.32.162.11-R-Radio-11.69A.3504.00U-11.23.3504.07-M2-release-251539-signed but it says wrong image... i will throw this thing on the wall soon

if your firmware is higher then the one which is in the ruu.exe then you can't downgrade while on S-ON
you need to S-OFF for downgrade
AFAIK with your cid there is no ruu.exe with the same firmware as yours or higher
what about if you try create a goldcard first..then you can flashing different RUU that are already had a higher firmware version than yours..?, like this RUU maybe..or else that are already had 3.33.xxx.xx firmware?
don't forget to relock your bootloader first too..
You could also attempt to downgrade your misc partition that would allow you to flash a lower RUU as long as the hboot inside was not a gingerbread downgrade I think.
