Good day to all!

Sorry for this question, I know it is asked and discussed a lot.. BUT!

I have searched and searched over google and XDA and can't find it no where.
All the links are out-dated and on some forums they write that HTC Runnymede is the official stock rom and on others they say HTC pyramide is the stock rom.

So I am very confused now and besides being confused, I can't find any working link for downloading the HTC Sensation XL stock Europe rom.

I need to unroot my device so I really need the rom fast.
I already 'relocked bootloader', only need the RUU.exe to unroot and install stock rom.

Please help me out.

PS. This one http://www.filefactory.com/f/2c6cbf04d4909b70/
plus the other one found on XDA do not work

I get the 'All free download slots are in use.You can download this file immediately by upgrading to FileFactory Premium. Otherwise, please feel free to try again shortly.
Retry Download'
error while trying to download.

Any direct links would be amazing

PSS. I found one here http://www.fileserve.com/file/b87exyj/RUU_Runnymede_HTC_Europe++_1.05.401.4_R2_Radio_20.5101.30.0822_3822.10.10.12_M_release_223366_signed.exe download time over 1 hour geez...

hi , at first , you need to know that Runnymede is the name of stock rom for Htc sensation XL ,and pyramid is the name of Htc sensation ( the first one ).

then if you need to unroot your phone you can follow the steps on HTCdev.com the give you the steps to unroot .

after that ,all the runnymede.exe doesn't work ,i don't know why ,but some says that because the compatibility or the boatloader is locked,anyway,there is a methode to extract rom from Ruu if you want to install the official rom but i dont taste it , or install the official rom flashable on the section developer ,i use one of the and am really satisfied ,it look like the official rom .
i hope it will help u

Thanks for the information about which rom is for what phone :D

BTW. I managed to download the RUU.exe I needed, link provided above in my post. (download time over 1 hour.....)

I locked my bootloader by using 'fastboot oem lock' in cmd in windows while connected phone in fastboot USB

Then I re-started my phone and bootloader was 'relocked'. Then I started up my phone and turned on debug in development (options in android) turned of fastboot in options somewhere in android, I think under power.

Then just run the RUU.exe and it just installed stock rom, so it unrooted the phone. REMEMBER you can't install stock rom on unlocked bootloader, need to relock it.

But after that I just unlocked the bootloader again and rooted my phone and installed CWM recovery and installed ICE COLD ZOMBIE. But draw something app in android did not start. crashed and phone was a bit laggy. I had backed up my android with CWM before installing ICE COLD ZOMBIE, so I just restored that and everything was fast again.

:D

Hello all, I'm new here but have a moderate understanding of all your delights :D

I recently unlocked the bootloader on my SXL, then instaled a custom ROM.
I have searched on our SXL forum and have found a few links to the RUU for Europe but non of these links work for me.

When the official HTC ICS update is released I would like to be able to install this so therefore will need the original RUU. Im in the UK and my operator is O2.

Please could one of you kind fella's provide me a link to a download for this.

Thanks.

EARLY before flashing the Ruu, you were in stock rom? did you use the same version as the one you had ?
I just want to confirm one thing, do the Ruu works on all phones or not ?

No the Ruu's do not work on ALL devices as far as I know.

You need your region's rom.

Mine was EU, and besides that, you also need to relock your boot loader first until you can install stock rom's

But the good part here is, if you lock your boot loader - > run RUU.exe (any) and if your phone thinks it's a good RUU.exe it will start flashing, but if your device does not match the RUU.exe it will say you have the wrong RUU.exe for your device.

That's at least what I have read

I think it might be the version, so R2 is the latest version? Well someone here suggested R2 so that one might be good. I used the R2
