You really need to search and read so you can understand what you're doing and asking.
Also, the official ICS was rubbish - slow, flaky, not good. If you want ICS then flash one of the many good Custom ROMs instead.
I will back what Simon has said... if u still havent rooted yet... root ur phone... try to Get S-off , instructions can be found be in Development Section, Dont go for official OTA... i installed it and believe me it was a pain in a** . Once S-OFF u can flash many Roms out here and figure which onces best for u ...Happy Flashing

right now i got a branded sensation. so far im quite satisfied with it. the only thing is, i would be glad to get root f.e. to get to the database file for the sense weather to add new locations.
for me i dont really need any custom rom by now. its my first android device and as said i like sense so far.
as i read through here, i think the problem for now is to get root on the device. if this would be possible, flashing new roms would be possible right?
so my question is:
is it more problematic to get root or to get a new rom? if htc will open the bootloader, will it be possible to get sense with root automaticlly? or is it still needed to find a way to get root in htc roms?
in custiom roms there should be no problem to get root right?
sorry if this all sounds lame or something but as said, this is my first android device. it try to read as much as i can
thx in advance for any answer!

pls sto pthat offtopic ****
i dont wann know how to do such things as by now it isnt possible. i just want to know if there will be unlocked bootloader, is it automaticly possible to get a root enabled stock rom?
or do we still need another way to get root on stock roms?

No. Unlocked bootloader will not automatically mean you'll get root. It's only a way for us to get root by another software running in the backround..
HTC already confirmed an unlocked bootloader in the near future..
For an offtopic discussion, custom roms will allways be better as they have no bloatware and includes tweaks to lots of stuff like ram management, oc kernels, gfx patches, deodexed and so on...
I hope this answered your question and please try to be nice on the forums.. people tend to reply nicer that way...

i was nice all the time just said stop that ot things.
READ MY POST: I KONW IT ISNT POSSIBLE NOW AND I DONT ASK FOR A METHODE TO DO ANYTHING LIKE ROOT OR CUSTOM ROM!
so isnt there a way to modify android and/or sense to get root on the stock fw? thought both are open source.
for sure this still requieres an open bootloader and maybe someone would say even this would be a custom rom

Android really isnt fully Open Source, HTC Sense and their phones aint Open Source.. Even if it is running Android in the bottom, HTC owns Sense UI.
The bootloader is pretty much locking you untill it gets hacked or HTC releases its opened one..
You labeled the topic GENERAL questions, but didn't see fit to place it in the GENERAL or Q&A forum?
This is in no way development related.

I believe you should change the thread subject, as it's confusing. Several folks might get a hope then instantly get depressed like my case.

s-off gives you more control over your phone and allows you to change the radio, which is needed when going from ics rom to non ics rom. Rooting gives superuser permissions which let you mess with root directory ( dont touch if noob) and use root application ie. root explorer.
If you want to un-root (you Get ur warranty back) just download the appropriate RUU to PC from here http://www.filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/ (if you're a US TMobile customer download tmobile RUU)
connect phone to pc
run the .exe and ship to TMO
RUU is very easy to run.

The link he provided pointed the OP straight to the thread with all the info, whats so smart ass about that?
Rooting, s-off, ROM flashing etc can be a little confusing, however, all the info is there and in great detail.
Moreover, if ppl cant find a correct section to ask questions perhaps they shouldnt be attempting such tasks as hacking their phones?!

You don't need to upgrade for all ICS ROMS, I'm currently using RCMix and didn't need to update anything, might be worth checking it out first if you're not confident in flashing new firmware.

Yeah same thing happened to me but then i remembered. I didnt SuperCID my S4G yet. Went back and did that and no more model id issue when i flashed the first or second ICS firmwares.
Check out my thread. It might have some useful information for you guys

i got the same problem. i try a lot time, still getting error!!!
Like has already been pointed out, the Model Id error is because you need to Super CID your phone. Look in the guide sticky thread in the Sensation development forum.
Okay i finally got my S-off !!! So i decided to try Cynaogen Mod 9 Rom n i HATE IT!!! n no i thought i had backup up my stock rom but i guess i didnt...with all that went on i somehow overwrote it with a back up of Cyaogen. Now i am in desperate need of stock rom!! Please someone help me n give me a direct link to where i can download it. As i have no idea which one will work for my phone.. i know im suppose to look for RUU_pyramid: 3.33.707..51 but this one is impossible to find~!!! What i am asking is what other stock ROM version can i download that will work for me??? i have been reading forums all day n night for the past 2 days. I honestly have no idea what i am doing and i am tired of reading all these different forums that just confuse me even more. PLEASE HELP~!!! English Rom is a MUST but if possible English n Chinese.

You can find roms that it's based on stock 3.6 sense (like Elegancia and ARHD) or you can try ViperS 1.6.3/3.0.2(sense4/4.5).
Have you tried CM10.1 by albinoman887?
CM10/10.1 are really good for the phone and look better than CM9
And here's the link to Elegancia roms :

Hi,
Complete stock is HERE.
Make sure you choose the correct ROM for your phone (post 1 or 2 )
Or you can try a slightly improved version of stock called ARHD
also you can use rooted stock rom
