Help with Arabic support

Hi folks, tried doing a search in HTC Sensation forum but couldn't find an answer...
I have a European T-Mobile HTC Sensation and want to install Arabic language on it..
What are my options? Would it need to be rooted and flashed? Etc
Please advise..

You will have to 1st unlock your phone then you have two options:
1- Root your phone & install arabic files on it.
or
2- Change the CID of your phone & install official HTC Arabic ROM.
Refer to this link.

Omar thanks mate... My phone is unlocked but T-Mobile UK branded...
Change the CID and installing the official Arabic ROM is favourable... Anymore suggestions?

You can do it w/o CID, you do need S-OFF and CWR.
Someone has posted a ZIP version of the official Arabic Stock ROM 1.34.415.1 :
http://www.multiupload.com/PO97HZR3D7.
Download and flash it with CWR. It works!

You are completely right my friend.
However, flashing a ZIP file through Recovery is simpler than the RUU way. Also, if he's now got a Stock Rom, he will not have to wipe the current content and after running the ZIP file all his data,apps and home screens will be there as before.(Backup is recommended anyway)
You mentioned 1.45.415.4. Has it already been rolled out?
If so does anyone got a link to the RUU?

Try installing 4EXT recovery and before flashing rom, enable SMART-FLASH in options. Then install any rom. It will install

do the extra 1 step from the SON guide ..if you still have problems ..then reflash the rom ..without any wipe ..just enable smartflash before flashing rom thats all

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.

I did everything like in the tutorial ( i flash on android revolution), launched the phone system looks like the discs clean ics, and the kernel version is the same before ... and I lost root rights, more free RAM but it's probably because the system is clean, how to check if the rom is installed?

Hi,
Use the link I gave you in my first post.
Try Installing the ARHD ROM
This has an aroma installation which you can choose the FAUX kernel.
This kernel is able to change clock speeds with an app like System Tuner,or kernel tuner.
