Hi there, I've got CM7 with S-OFF on my Sensation right now and I'm going to give my phone to my aunt since I upgraded to a GN ;)

Just wondering, what's the easiest way to get it back to stock and wiping it too? I need it so that it'll start getting OTA updates again.. doesn't really matter if it stays rooted (I'd prefer that but whatever is easier..)

Tried looking at some guides but they all don't have what I'm looking for..

Just run the stock ruu for your carrier...and there is a few guides for this actually. You should prolly look at that sticky(the one about guides) again...

I don't get the updates either. How can I check if my phone is S-Off or not?
S off is not the reason you're not getting OTA, custom recovery would be the most likely culprit. To see if you are s off, poweroff the phone, remove battery, replace battery, hold volume down and power, release the power button but keep holding the volume down, H Boot should appear, it will say s off or s on.

Did you buy the phone new or used? Have you flashed any custom ROM?

thanks Nik.. argghh the only thing I'm missing now is the RUU stock ROM. That link that's stickied in the dev forum for the latest T-Mobile USA ROM is dead.. trying to find a mirror now

So can you tell me?

Nope, my phone was branded at first, but I flashed 2.3.4 (
RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2_Radio_10.56.9035 .00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208857_signed) from this thread

to unbrand it.
