I have used winrar to unpack the rom.zip
OK. Run your Vodafone RUU. (Just open it, don't complete it.)
Open Documents, in the URL bar type in: %temp%
Open the folders, it will have a random string like {AAAAAAAA-UUUU-ZZZZ-XXXX-YYYYYYYYYYYY}
Look for a ROM.zip file.
Copy the file to your fastboot folder.
Extract it.

Run:
Code:
fastboot flash rom.zip
If you have any trouble with that, you can run:
Code:
fastboot rebootRUU
fastboot flash boot_signed.img
fastboot flash system.img
fastboot flash recovery_signed.img

This is excactly what i have done.

I also got the a Device Model Sensation XE back from HTC.
But there are not Sensations XE Vodafone RUU and the one i got flashes.
Is there no different RUU for the Sensation and the Sensation XE?

It is not visible.
The HTC version has beats on it. This is a Vodafone version. It look just like a normal Sensation
I am downloading now, Wont this give a error because of the CID?
The RUUs are device specific. I don't think an XE can be flash to a 4G/Z10e version because of different signatures, and vice versa.
You can extract the boot_signed.img, recovery_signed.img and system.img and flash manually.

Edit: Try this link: http://www.androidfiles.org/ruu/sec...0U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_281004_signed.exe

It gives a signature error and a data lenght is too long error.

In the list above it also says pyramid not pyramidle

But the battery is a 1730mAh. i think that is only in a XE
Yes. 1730mAh is the stock XE battery. The 4G has around 1500mAh.
Which probably means your phone is the XE variation (HTC released the phone as an 'updated' Sensation with an overclocked Kernel and some minor changes).

It gives signature fails.
This is one weird phone.

When i try to run the RUU itself i get model-id: not the same

I've not got much else to go on.
Your phone won't boot stock Sensation RUUs, or manually flash them. It won't flash a Sensation XE RUU.
Have you contacted HTC Support?
I hope the contact me tommorow about the unlocking of the bootloader.
If i can do that then the phone mayby get fixed

I will let you know

Also does not work, Wrong model-ID

The getvar all gives me model: Pyramid
HTC Tells me in a respond for more info that its a Sensation XE

Maybe this is the problem. I hope i get to unlock it today
Can you post the output from these commands?
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
fastboot getvar all

Write cid does not work because of the root that is disabled.

Seams that the mainboard has changed according to htc (did not know because i bought it second hand). Seams to have warranty als well but is not valid because of cracked digitizer. I have contacted htc again asking for a valid bootcode.bin file.

Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app
