I'm currently running 4.1.1 with sense 4+ with firm 3.18. I was just looking to upgrade to sense 5 for now. Is this just a matter of finding the software, putting it on int extsd and flashing from stock recovery.
If not can somebody please help me out with what this process would consist of and maybe point me in the right direction to where I can start.
Would rooting and flashing a sense 5 rom be easier from this point. because I am wanting to root and flash something soon. I am very familiar with this process but. Just not for this device. I'm new to this device so please be generous with advice and wisdom. I thank everybody for thier contributions in advance.

After you get it rooted, then I would s-off the phone and flash the 2.15 firmware because without that or the Beastmode kernel, you will have problems with reboots and signal drops if you flash a Sense 5 Rom.
The only way for you to have Sense 5 is to unlock your bootloader, at&t have not yet released a Sense 5 update. Click the link provided by Egrier, navigate to the root section, find the 3.18 root method and follow those instructions. Once your bootloader is unlocked you can install TWRP recovery. Once you have TWRP recovery installed you can install root so you can get s-off, then you can upgrade to the 2.15 firmware package, then you can flash a Sense 5 ROM. Before doing any of this you should do a bunch of research, you may be familiar with unlocking/rooting but each device has its own quirks and you should be aware of this before beginning.
PS. In future please post questions in the Q&A section found here:

I was planning to install CM7.1, then realised that the update from HTC changed the HBOOT along with the Sense 3.0 update. But apparently the bootloader can be unlocked officially by HTC.
Question is, how do I install a custom ROM with this method? I'm assuming you need to install CWMR, which needs root. Then use that to flash the ROM. Can anyone who has used this method tell me exactly how it's done on the Desire S?
Help is really appreciated, thank you.

Search this forum please. The answer and procedure has already been documented for you.
Please, I need some basic help:
I have a HTC One V, he's unlocked bootloader and root.
I unlocked my bootloader using a tutorial that is here Forum HTC One S. Same method.
Now I want to install ROM an official from another country (I want a European ROM).
I need to lock the bootloader again?
Can I install this ROM for HTC Sync?
Could anyone help me with this question? Thank you for your attention.
(Please do not move the question for another forum, because no one in another forum, and devices V and S are nearly equal.)
Thanks.
for official ROMs you need an RUU. whether or not a One S RUU will run on a One V device is unknown..
RUU's can be found in development section

But, and the question about bootloader:
I need lock bootloader again, or not?
HTC Sync install RUU, with bootloader unlock ?
Thanks !
yeah. i have done it like that.. you should be fine..
but if your flashing One S stuff on a One V there is no guarantee it will work
you take the risk flashing files meant for a different phone.

I downloaded the RUU original HTC One V.
I will install using the HTC Sync then, since i do not need S-ON again.
Thanks for help.
I think your supposed to install RUU's through fastboot
I have an HTC One X on AT&T and live in the US. I just want to be sure that i am following the right root tutorial. I have Android 4.0.4 (still dont have JB update). I have Sense 4.0 and software number 2.20.502.7
This the right tutorial to follow? :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957193
Also, Do I have to unlock the bootloader, or is it already unlocked?
Can I get the jelly bean update later on if I wanted?
Thanks.

Thanks for the link. Can you recommend a couple ROMs you think are good that are compatible with my phone?
I'm running Clean Rom 5.1 right now. It is a Sense 4.1, android 4.0.4 rom but it is waaayyy better than the stock rom. Very stable and great battery life. I've also ran his CleanRom JB rom and it is great also. Some people have had random reboot issue while running jb. Me included, but with Clean Rom JB I didn't have any. I've also heard good things about ViperXL.

Just read through the threads, and you can see what people like. Better yet, just look at the features of the ROMs, see which ones suit you, and try a few.
I have a question, I am wondering if it is possible to use RUU to downgrade my At&t Evita from the latest OTA Android 4.2.2. and Sense 5 back to a previous version (4.1.1 and sense 4+). I basically have a stock phone not rooted, S On, etc.
Sorry for my naive question, but I really need help as I am getting bunch of error messages using the RUU to downgrade.
No you can't. You can't run a lower RUU unless you have s-off.
PS. You've asked the exact same question in the RUU thread, just to let you know, creating duplicate posts is against the rules. Ask in one place and be patient, you'll get an answer in due time.

Hello everyone,
I am looking for help with my HTC M8 I am running custom Rom Venom. I would like to upgrade to the newly released Verizon 4.4.4. However since I have TWRP this is not happening. I also used sunshine to achieve unlock and S-off. So my questions are
1) What is the best way to flash back to stock or do I want to ?
2) If a flash to stock will I loose what sunshine gave me ( unlock & S-off )
3) Can I do a manual flash of the OTA
Thanks in advance everyone !! Love this Forum XDA !!

There are plenty of 4.4.4 roms you can flash in the development section...just make sure you update your firmware first. Super easy to do (much easier than returning to stock to take OTA).
Read the OP in this thread carefully and you'll have what you need.
