I strongly encourage all of you considering flashing this directly to instead use one of the many available ROMs based on this build instead. There is no reason to use the RUU exe itself unless you are a developer.

I appreciate I am still new to this sort of thing, but to me the RUU files would appear to be the safer option when compared to custom built ROMs?
The RUU, while I accept it's a development firmware, is created by the phone's manufacturer for the handset in question. The custom firmware is developed by a third party. While I accept that neither come with a warranty and that you install either at your own risk it would seem that considering the above that the RUU would be the safer one surely?
The way I play it is that I tend to read a few posts and see if anyone's bricked their handsets with an RUU. If not I install it and take the chance. I reckon I've got just the same amount of chance as problems with a custom ROM as I have this RUU.

If anyone's a Drop Box user this RUU has a nice bonus!
I had a standard 2Gb account with Drop Box. I installed this RUU on my standard Sensation. All my Apps auto reinstalled as usual and I started the process of adding my accounts to things like Facebook, email and of course Drop Box.
A minute or so after logging in to my Drop Box account on my Sensation I got a pop up message on the task bar of my laptop stating that my Drop Box account had just been upgraded to 5Gb.
This RUU appears to give you the free 5Gb upgrade on Drop Box that HTC set the agreement up for in the past.
Rather chuffed
