T-Mobile Sensation 4G 12/7/2011 OTA Update PG58IMG Package

[devgru82]

I take no credit for this just reposting here. If you are rooted and have S-OFF do not take the OTA update. It has a HBOOT in it which may lock your phone. Sdobron on XDA has made a file in which he removed it and a few other things. I flashed this file and everything works fine.

The root directory is the main directory of your sdcard. Not in a folder

Do we need to do any backup/restore when doing it this way? or is it just like an OTA update?

 

[lemongrass#IM]

I did the update, but the Software version still reads 1.45.531.1 instead of 1.50.531.31 ??
Is that right? or did I do something wrong...?
Thanks.

Found the original source of the file, and it's stated that the version number isn't supposed to change.

Why is this file 70kb and the OTA file is like 14mb? I keep getting an error, failed to do something with the partition

Its 70kb because the recovery and hboot .img files were removed for those that are rooted and s-off. Are you S-OFF? What ROM are you using?
