[Q] Requirements to update from ICS to JB ? - HTC Sensation

Hi,
I got this Sensation XE that I was dealing with today, I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP Recovery, because the 4EXT did not want to load after I installed it numerous times. I now Installed ViperS 1.6 on it, which is ICS 4.0.4.
My question is, what are the requirements to Install a JB rom on it?, do I just flash it and it will work? do I need to change HBOOT or something?, flash an JB Kernel??? what do I do?
Thank you

Are you S-On? Did you flashed ViperS ICS with TWRP recovery? I'll still recommend you to flash 4EXT recovery if you're S On. Try downloading recovery.img from some other link and check MD5.
For JB ROM you just need 3.32 or 3.33 firmware and you're good to go for JB. Just flash the ROM from recovery just like you did for ViperS ICS.

Yes I am S-ON.
My version of firmware (if I am correct) is: 3.33.705.151. But I am on ICS. The original Rom that was on the phone befire I installed vipers was 4.0.3
So.. if it is 3.33, I can just flash JB?? ?
Thanks

By the way, if anyone shall have this issue with 4EXT and will look in here, the problem is with the file on the ALL IN 1 TOOLKIT for SENSATION.
The solution is to download 4EXT from the main site (install APK on phone, then install it from there, or from Bootloader.) - Just good "4EXT"

Someone in the General Forum on the 2.3.4 tmobile thread says that works, again u must be completely stock no root no custom recovery. (s-off) is ok.
I'm reverting my phone back to stock right now and going to do it.
Please if somebody flashed this test this Game and report back if it is working for you without problems: CORDY
Thank you in advance!
Download the package, unzip, look for firmware update. Unzip that, delete boot.img and hboot, and recovery. Zip it back up rename to pg58img and flash for all the firmware update.

How to install the 1.45 RUU

I want to install the new 1.45 RUU because I heard that it has some optimizations that we don't get from installing roms. How do it do that? Is it something that can be flashed from clockworkmod? Do I have to undo revolutionary and S-off? Please if someone could walk me through it, I will be grateful. I'm sorry, I realize this is a noob question.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Just run the ruu that's what I did. U can flash cwm recovery again after
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
what optimizations are you talking about? i read this somewhere as well and asked many times on here what the difference between a ruu and a rom based on ota was and i finally got the dev baadnewz to reply and he said there is no difference??? now im confused again

So you stay s-off after you ran the RUU? And after reflashing cwm recovery, everything went back to normal?

Sensation keeps bootloopin!

Hello all, got my HTC Sensation few hours ago! and im already stuck on a bootloop D: lol
So I found out it was hboot 1.18 (still had gingerbread), so I used the root method included in an AIO program.
Everything went fine, I'm s-off'd with 4ext recovery.
Then I wanted to do the superCID thing, but I flashed latest 3.33 universal firmware full from joaquinf thread first, and it never booted correctly, it restarted on the bootanimation always. So I tried flashing a the 100% stock deodexed rom of mike1986 and it also bootlooped.
So I came here to ask, cuz idk what to do now.
Thanks!
Once you upgrade the firmware file you need to DELETE the pg58img file off the root of your sd card or it will continue to update over and over when you go into bootloader. After you updated your firmware did you delete the file? Hope this helps.
Sent from my Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Yes, I deleted the file with my computer. The thing is that im always stuck at the bootanimation and it restarts.
Are you trying a gingerbread rom with that fw? If so that's your problem and flash a ics rom and your done.
If that doesent work try flashing something like cm9/10 or touch cream.

[Q] A pending update to your boot partition has been detected - 4EXT

Good day to All,
I Need Help.
Intro,
My Phone is Sensation 4G S-Off, HBoot 1.27.110, Firmware 3.33 Universal.
Rom being Used is ViperS 1.41.
What Happened,
I was flashing a different kernel (that I used before multiple times) and my problem started,
The Problem,
The Phone starts, HTC Logo (behind a white background) and after less than a minute it shuts down.
I can access 4EXT Recovery normally after seeing a notification message stating ("A pending update to your boot partition has been detected") and after I click through it I can access 4EXT normally.
What did I do,
Tried flashing multiple kernels, Multiple Roms, restored Multiple Backups and still the same thing. HTC Logo and it shuts down, and if the phone is plugged in to the power it will keep boot looping.
I would highly appreciate some input as I can't use my phone what so ever.

Try running an RUU
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
Same setup as OP
S-off' hboot- 1.27
After flashing a kernel, and selecting reboot now, a message appeared about pending update detected. After reboot, will not pass HTC logo.
I've tried different kernel, roms, and backups, and still nothing.
This happened after flashing Sultan-kernel rc4 1512ghz. My phone booted before at higher ghz so I don't believe that's the issue.
Edit: Flashed different ruu, now hboot 1.29 s-off, still same issue.
Thanks for any help possible.

I'm using 4ext. The problem started after i received the prompt for pending update for booting (smart flash). When I boot into recovery I have to disable smart flash even though I'm s-off.

yeah i saw your posts in 4ext recovery thread
glad for you man:good:
Whenever I had this problem happen to me I flashed the boot.img file from the ROM I was using through fastboot then everything worked. Might save you some time next time something like this happens (happened to me a lot when I was S-on using 4ext) because you won't have to wipe everything and reinstall your ROM.

SOLVED (Help: root my HTC DESIRE S)

im new to htc desire s coz my nexus sold due to financial needed.
Btw i cant find the standard or easy way to root my htcds. Or even ICS update my device info as follows;
BEFORE:
HTC DESIRE S
STOCK ROM
V 2.3.5
S OFF
HBOOT 2.02.0002
Any help would be appreciated.
AFTER:
HTC Desire S S510e - SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF
Hboot | HBOOT-2.00.2002 (ex 6.98.1002)
Radio | 20.76.30.0835U_3831.19.00.110

do you have a custom recovery?

what worked for me is the downgrade of the HBOOT version first...then root
Since you're already S-OFF, this couldn't be easier. Just download 4ext recovery, flash it via fastboot, and find a zip file of Superuser or SuperSU and flash that from within your new recovery.
Thanks guys for response, can you give me a link straight to that so i cant read so many tutorials?
I just want to be rooted

If you're S-OFF, just flash a custom ROM of your choice, and root will come with it.
