ICS update sensation India

aniketd11 · Apr 7, 2012

I had been to HTC Service Centre. They informed that from 7th april onwards, update will start uploading on HTC server and over next 1-2 months, slowly will be rolled out as FOTA to devices. This sure is going to be long wait

Guys, check this out.....Update already started rolling out in pakistan...

HTC Sensation and Sensation XE reportedly updated with ICS

Users from various countries report the Android Ice Cream Sandwich update is already available for their HTC Sensation and Sensation XE smartphones.

The new ROM is about 300MB in size and we suggest doing a backup before applying it.

ICS has been available in Germany and the Nordic region since March, while Malaysian users also got the update two weeks ago.

Since the beginning of April users from the UK, France and the Netherlands have reported getting the ICS update. We assume that more countries will be joining this list in the upcoming days.

We can confirm Sensations in Pakistan are being updated as well, so the update rollout should continue in Asia as well.

A few users are complaining that the new ROM is unstable and buggy. If you have already updated your Sensation/Sensation XE with ICS please share your impressions in our comments section below.

So, hopefully, we should be able to get the update very soon....

If its uploaded on server, anyone can do the "Checkin" code and get the update. The problem is it is not there on the server itself.

The update by GSMArena is based on comments posted by their users. it is not confirmed.

By this they mean that update will be "pushed" to users automatically over 1-2 months. Those who rely on automatic notification will face this delay. But once the update becomes available on servers, you can always manually check and download it. The only problem is they are not making it available on their servers.

I m from india, i flashed the sensation xe Ics with beats audio, official rom.. Works like butter and amazing sense 3.6 graphical showmanship. Its out there, so go on and take it. But only attempt if you know the risks involved. one mistake and you can end up in a bootloop. you would need some experience with moding. Like they always say, no pain no gain...

Is it really necessary to be S-ON for the ICS update to apply?

My Sensation is S-OFF and unlocked (unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com). I went from a custom ICS ROM to Gingerbread v2.3.4 by extracting the ROM image from stock RUU for Asia (India)... 1.45.720.1 if I remember correct. As mentioned earlier, I then received some 3 OTA updates before reaching my current "updated" version of 1.52.720.3.

I've been reading folks mentioning that they're going back to S-ON and am curious as to why that is being done.

Ah! Tired of waiting. My phone is Indonesian and I was using Indian rom on it. Flashed it back to Indonesian ROM (Asia WWE) and viola! update available. Downloading it now

When you say "My phone is Indonesian"... you were referring to the CID, yes?

No, its not. S-ON means, your ROM area is not just mounted read only, its actually read only and in no way anything can be written on it, other than flashing a signed RUU. When you S-OFF, you open this lock and any software can mount the ROM partition as Read-Write and you can do things like root your phone by inserting SU files in ROM area, flash custom roms because now the signature of ROM is not checked.

It has nothing to do with getting an update. Updates are delivered based on the CID (Carrier ID) of your country (in case of unlocked phones) or carrier (in case of carrier bound phones).

Getting S-ON will not get you the update unless it is available on HTC server. And if its available, you will get it even when you are S-OFF. The only condition is, you should have the correct CID and all the stock latest updates installed on an untempered stock ROM from htc.

I hope this will clear your doubts. People who are going S-ON for update purpose are just misinformed.

Yes, and my serial no is also Indonesian, as confirmed by HTC Customer care.

Previously, I changed my CID to India and flashed the Indian stock ROM.

Thanks, I figured just as much. I tinker around from time to time, and the only reason I went back to stock was so I could see what the "pure" ICS update from HTC would be like. I'll just have to wait it out!

I keep having trouble with the home screen reloading now and then, especially when I install/update something from the market... and the fact that it tends to lag sometimes really does show that Sense can be a memory hog from time to time, no matter what the hardware.

If ICS with Sense is going to be smooth, I'd be more than happy to stick with it.

ah, ok. I had gone from HTC__038 to SuperCID and then back, just to be safe. I was thinking something was getting in the way of me receiving the ICS update... LOL.

Turns out, it isnt even available for India yet!

side note - wow, "five minutes between posts" is a real pain, but something I can live with. Nobody wants spam!

Really Annoying......
They tell we will get update... It seems HTC is playing with our expectations....

krazy_about_technology · Apr 8, 2012

Woohoo! Got my Indonesia Update

One word! Buttery smooth it is, and i like the GUI more now.Specially the folder concept for icons is a great one. Loving it. Right now having no problem related to wifi or anything else.

I dont think you can or you should use India specific updates. Sensation from t-mo is not Sensation, its Sensation 4G. The LTE radio is different, and its a hardware difference, not software only. Thats why HTC has kept separate model id for it.

ICS update sensation India
