[Q] Sensation xe update clarification

Hello ,
I have read many posts , some saying you can get the update if you are rooted/s-off and some say you cant .
I have sensationXE 2.3.4 1.73.707.4 10.58.9035. kernel : 2.6.35.13
I have Done S-off and root , but I did not flash the devise or install any rom still on stock
.
Will It be able to run the ota update when it pops in software update ?
What will have to do to install the update by the OTA file ( any special steps for this case ) ?
I have searched in the forum for this exact situation , I did not find . Please clarify this for me and for others with similar cases
Thank you

u need stock recovery to install ota

If u r still stock 100% but rather s-off, u should be fine. Whenever u receive the update just take the update like it says too, no special instructions. When people say u lose root that means, no superuser, busybox, and so on. U should still keep s-off

You won't get it yet as the initial release is for EU unbranded handsets. Other regions will roll out soon I'd imagine, followed by branded handsets

can i put file on sd ( ota file ) and update from cm recovery .
" Update usign zip "?

No, you need stock recovery

or download the stock file and install it from sd card

any guide on how to go back to stock recovery?

Ok you said you were stock and all you have done is S-off your Sensation XE and root it. If this is all you have done you still have the stock recovery and you can just download the OTA update file and place it on the root of your SD card. Then boot your Sensation into the boot loader by either taking your battery out or go into settings/power and uncheck the box for fastboot. You have to do either one of these to make sure your device is completely powered down. Next you need to power on your Sensation while holding the volume down button dow. Then use the volume rocker to scroll to recovery and press the power button. Then just follow the on screen instructions to flash the OTA file.if the file does not appear you either do not have the file on the root of your SD card or the file is not properly named. Post back here with your results.

thank you for this info dear sir.
Do u think i should do it this way or
wait for my update notification to pop ( will i be able to install it if am rooted) ?
Thanks again
I pressed my volume down+ turn off -> recovery - > it is titled CLOCKWORKMOD Recovery v5.0.0.8 ??

You are welcome, as far as if you should wait or not that is totally up to you. The only draw back to not waiting really is that you will not have certain apps that your carrier includes in the ROM for their Sensation. Like for example if I flashed it now and did not wait for the OTA update message to pop up on my phone I will not have any of the T-Mobile apps on my Sensation, the only one I care about anyway is the WiFi hotspot app. But I think you see what I am talking about. Plus if you do not wait you will have to S-off your Sensation and write Super CID to your Sensation to flash the available ICS and Sense 3.6 OTA update file. The drawback to waiting is just waiting lol. Well that and the fact that if there is ever another OTA update for your Sensation you will have to flash the correct stock ICS update for your Sensation to get it via OTA and not by downloading it, placing it on the root of your SD card, and then booting into the stock recovery to flash of.

Sorry I just now saw that you had edited your post. If it says CLOCKWORKMOD Recovery v5.0.0.8 then you do not have the stock recovery you have Clockworkmod Recovery wich is a custom recovery. So you will have to flash the stock recovery back to your Sensation before you can flash the ICS and Sense 3.6 OTA update, if it was not so late I would see if I could not put together a Clockworkmod and other custom recovery flashable .zip file so everyone would not have to revert back to stock recovery to flash the OTA update. Anyway to revert back to stock recovery you will need to flash a stock ROM back to your Sensation. And seeing as you are Super CID you can flash any stock ROM you want. Just go to here to download a official stock ROM. All the ROMs in the link are RUU.exe files so you will have to connect your Sensation to your computer via your USB cord and then run the RUU.exe. Once you have flashed the stock ROM you just need to follow my directions from my other post and you should be good to go.

this was already asked somewhere ..
download zenRom
this is a close to stock as possible Rom (its based on the android 4.0.4 with sense 4.1)
so here we go:
1. install the zenRom the usual way (wipe everything twice except the sd card before flashing, dont forget flashing the boot.img)
2. let the zenRom boot fully
3. shut your phone off
4. flash the stock recovery via fastboot [you can get it here, its the second (!) link] you need the stock recovery to install the official OTA
5. boot your phone and let your device search for updates
6. you will get the JB OTA [if not, make a factory reset and try again]
7. download and install the OTA the usual way
8. do a factory reset
9. tada .. you are on the latest official stock JellyBean without relocking your bootloader
JB RUU IS OUT! get it here:

If it suits your needs, pm me and I'll send you a link to my Google Drive. There you'll find at least two nandroid backups, stock 2.31 EU and stock 3.16 EU. 2.31 will update to 3.16, if you want your bootloader version being changed to 2.15. With restoring 3.16 you'll keep your current bootloader.
For the OTA Update you need a valid CID as NQNH correctly mentioned!

Work for Cid :BSTAR301

Doesn't flash in TWRP because of simple reason:
CID check is not removed from updater script, that's first thing to do if you want to make OTA flashable.

how remove CID check

Any hope for Latin America CID: BSTAR301? HBOOT: 2.09

Does hboot 2.11 work?

Hi all.
My daughter have a HTC One S S3 with ICS. We leave in Switzerland and no OTA appears in the phone until now.
The phone is damaged in the SIM card slot, so my daughter use it for games, music, chat, etc...
It's possible that I didin't receive OTA because no SIM?
Can I update manualy?
The phone is not rooted: she don't want to loose all making dev think.
Thanks for help.

When I try to flash this through TWRP, I get to "creating fota tool" (something like that) and then TWRP restarts. When I try to reboot my phone, I'm just greeted with the boot animation and then a black, unresponsive screen.
Additional info:
I downloaded the OTA update through the update software menu on my phone.
I've removed the CID check from the updater-script myself (pretty sure I edited, zipped and resigned correctly).
If I try to install the update through the update manager on my phone, it boots into TWRP and I get an error: "Can't mound INTERNALSDCARD:<OTA_Updateblahblahblah.zip>"
Any ideas?

if you have update from software update menu,
just make a full twrp backup, then install stock recovery, relock bootloader, boot phone into system, search for updates, ones it is downloaded, press installa nd it will be installed automatically.
Once its installed you can again unlock bootloader and install twrp for installing custom roms.

If you have custom recovery installed then flash any of the stock roms. If you don't have recovery installed then install it using fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

THX, your hint worked. But i have still one problem. Shutting down the phone (Power off) and start it again works.
But when i do a simple restart, it still goes into bootloop. The only thing to get rid of it is doing a factory reset.
I think i have to wait till there is an official ruu available.

I have the same issue. Still no RUU anywhere I'm afraid? Googled around without luck so far. :crying:

Issues updating OTA - Rooted + TWRP

Hi Everyone
Can anyone please stop my suffering? I tried everything and I am lost...
My phone kept asking me to update to KAS254 which I finally managed to do by flashing stock recovery...but now it is giving me another OTA, some weird alphanumeric combination, around 60MB.
Thing is I cannot update it and the update keeps popping up and I am going crazy already.

You can not do OTA with a customer recovery like TWRP. If you want the latest stock firmware you will need to download the latest from https://cyngn.com/support and flash all the files via fastboot then reinstall TWRP and SuperSU for root.

What do you mean did not work? What happen when you flashed all the stock files via fastboot?

are you saying that I should apply the downloaded file via fastboot?
what I did is downloaded the recovery and updated to KAS54, then another update popped up and again I cannot update...no I get the same error, but this time it says I have KAS254 and the package expects something newer..
