Default [Q] Help me choose RUU?

Hey Guys
I bought my sensation from Saudi Arabia, which makes it ARA I suppose?
So, now I have:
- Software Version: 1.34.45.1
- Android Version: 2.3.3
- Baseband Version: 10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3
- Build Number (Don't think it's relevant anyways since it's the same as Soft. Ver.): 1.3.415.1 CL79935

So now I'm confused since I found 2 files with the same name but different sizes:
Ace Category: 378.67 MB
Pyramid Category: 105.89 MB

The thing is, I thought that I should use Pyramid, but it seems that the one that is mostly distributed online is the Ace one as it is pointed here:

RUU ARABIC_1.34.415.1


What do you think? Which one should I use? Or I shouldn't use any of those files?

If I install a wrong one though, will it continue, or give me an error? 'Cause I'm really confused by now

Thanks alot
Cheers!

Ace its a completely different phone! The sensation is the htc pyramid. Flash the ace rom and you'll end up with nice little brick.

Thanks for your reply
my problem is, that both ace and pyramid have the same name which is:
"RUU_Pyramid_HTC_ARA_1.34.415.1_Radio_10.43a.9007. 00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_197242_signed.exe"

They just have different sizes..

The one posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1163368
Is the one available in ace category on shipped-roms.com while it is posted in the thread as a sensation RUU.

See why I'm confused?

The smaller file is NOT right, but generally you should go by the name of file, not necessarily the category it's in on that website. It was probably just uploaded to the wrong section. I don't use that site since coinflipper sold it. Its wack!

First of all that is the right download. Secondly since this is an ruu and not a zip file the install will simply fail if its wrong, but the possibility of a brick exists, as always. You've got to keep in mind that bricking can still happen when flashing the correct files too if the connection is interrupted or files are corrupted.
