ICS XE on normal sensation doesn't work

zanfo · Apr 5, 2012

My sensation in s-off,and I installed GB XE rom on it,all works very good.Now I try to upgrade to XE ICS without success:I try ota update metod,ruu metod,and extract rom.zip too,but after installation phone reboot constantly at htc logo.Hboot became 1.27,luckily my phone remain s-off so I came back to old GB and recovery my phone.
Now I have original ICS for normal sensation,it has 1.27 hboot like Xe rom.So,what's the problem?Why can't I upgrade to original xe rom?

Here is the solution for you http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542192.. just read the op

The problem is that the updater-script in the OTA reads the phone model number and yours is sensation model number, not XE model number so it will reject the update

I use that metod too,as I wrote,and it doesn't works for ICS,only for GB.The only difference is that my phone isn't rooted

Scaricati una rom ICS decente, controlla l'md5sum, assicurati di avere l'ultimo firmware e radio, installati la 4ext, wipa tutto da questa ( formatta tutte le partizioni ecceto la sd ) e solo poi installa la rom.

Se non hai i permessi di root fra le guide trovi lo zip da installare in recovery.

Short english version:

Try with 4 ext and wipe all partition first (lol)

grazie per la risposta,ma più semplicemente sai dirmi perchè con lo stesso hboot la rom normale funzia e quella del XE no?Alcuni hanno risolto con l'enghboot,ma per me non funziona.Sai se può c'entrare qualcosa il super cid o il root,cioè se sono indispensabili?
In passato mi son fermato al s-off perchè è bastato per la rom GB del xe

Devi wipare tutto prima di installare altre rom, altrimenti vai in loop.

Parla in inglese che qui ci cazziano...asd

English version:

Try with a complete wipe!

ok,can you help me in change kernel?Wich is compatible with my rom?

If you are using stock kernel, I think the processor speed should be 1.2GHz if you have a normal Sensation, regardless of whether you're using a XE ROM or normal Sensation ROM (correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't used an XE ROM in forever). You can try either SebastianFM's kernel, bricked kernel or faux kernel. All 3 should be fine. Just download the kernel file, make a backup and flash like a ROM.

It's very unlikely that you will brick your phone by flashing a kernel. As long as you're downloading the right kernel (i.e. if you're using a Sense ROM, then make sure you're downloading a HTC Sensation Sense kernel) and check the md5sum before flashing you should be fine.
