coz some people (like me) just want to root for the sake of having more control of the OS, but at the same time trying to keep with stock ROM.

binary : are you also having problem updating?
*
Yes, I've problem updating the official OTA. After downloaded the file, the phone rebooted and it just stuck with the screen with a android and exclamation mark.

Anyone know where to download stock RUU for our Sensation? I need to revert back to stock and remove custom recovery while maintaining S-OFF.

niko, is there another way of removing the cwm/root other than installing ruu?

binary, make sure your radio/baseband version is same as well.

binary, let me know if you're software number is 1.50.707.1.

If so, get the RUU here : http://bbs.zhangku.com/thread-54417-1-1.html

the d/l link should be here in case you can't get the link from that forum : http://dl.dbank.com/c0bvibpcd4

Nah, I've tried the method using Android Recovery Manager and it works! I managed to install the official OTA ICS. thumbup.gif

So far anyone did a revert back? Got any issue?

You don't have to revert back to stock RUU to install official ICS. You just need to remove the custom recovery and replace with the stock recovery and you good to go. Follow this link on how to revert back to stock recovery

What logo screen do you see? If Android mascot with caution logo, means that you're using custom recovery, you need to change to stock recovery.Refer to my and binary's previous post on how we got the same issue and solved it.

If you're stuck with android phone+caution logo, you can press volume up key and look at the error message. I got this issue while applying the FOTA upgrade since I removed SoundHound_freemium.apk previously.

As for root, I'm not sure if binary has already re-installed his root, but I'm applying right now. Seems that some of my apps have partial root access, and some are denied root access.

I've gotten back my root after successfully installing CWM recovery. thumbup.gif

OK I downloaded the recovery image from the software,but its only 5mb.
But Im in ARHD,so once I flash stock recovery,it automatic becomes stock rom?
*
Since you're using ARHD, you need to install stock ROM and stock Recovery, otherwise you can't download ICS via OTA. Or, you need to search the official OTA ICS img file and flash it via recovery manually.

running with bricked 0.61, i noticed radio signal improved! not sure is it kernel improvement or yellow man network upgraded.

at my working desk, 3g coverage sucks (with 1 bar only) but now with full signal strength! O.O

Will it work if I flash bricked kernel over the official ROM?

Tried to install bricked kernel and got this error message:

Any idea?
