Go to Setting, scroll to the bottom and select About phone. Then touch on HTC updates and then click on check for update now. If you it does not say it is a update available then please PM me and I will help you get it sorted out.

Also you really should have posted this in the Sensation Q&A forum. Also please use the links in this thread to learn more about your device and the options av available to you.

6.6.3 or 6.6.7 what's best between the 2? sense restarts?

Hi,

If you are stable on 6.6.3,then wait a little while.
6.7.0 is nearly ready.
When it comes out,make a nandroid backup of your current ROM.
Flash the new ROM,when it comes out,and see how it works for you.
If you don't like it, restore your 6.6.3 nandroid.

:)

Format all partitions except SD Card & then flash the ROM.
