If i am not wrong, u r in Middle East? ICS update is already here for ur firmware.
With Wifi / data ON, goto Settings -> About Phone -> Software Updates -> Check Now
Actually the updating process is very simple and, starting as fshami suggested, you will have your device guiding you in a step-by-step to complete the upgrade.Just to let you know, Runnymede is another name for the Sensation XL, you will find this name whenever you will be searching for software or similar stuff for your smartphone...

Hey guys i was just right now successful in flashing my phone with gingerbread IS and i love the speed and everything !! i saw manyy people asking questions about how to flash and everything and once upon a time even i was in a troublesome state with this problem so made this thread for noobs !!
Step 1 : Download the WWE update i.e.RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7_Radio_20 .2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M_release_187295_sign ed from the thread link given below , as it is supposed to be the latest as mentioned by a lot of members !!
here's the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
Step 2 : A Gold Card, enables you to install official Android ROMs intended for your phone . Note that if you want to flash custom ROMs, you will have to permanently root your phone instead.
Creation of Gold Card :
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/
This link mentions Desire HD but even works for Incredible S ..
Step 3 :
Here you require the previously downloaded WWE file just run it click on " next "
as per the instructions go !!
make sure you have atleast connected your phone once to htc sync software before performing this complete operation !!
One more thing the microSd that you turn into the GoldCard can be reformatted and used again as a regular mmc !!
Enjoy your HTC Incredible S with Gingerbread and HTC Sense 2.1 !!! Special thanks to knightrocker helping me out with flashing my IS !! Click the thanks button if you like this post !!
Addition :
This is a full rom and will erase everything!
If u wish to retain ur apps just do the exact same but download the OTA from the other thread instead of this one ...
will my current apps and settings be wiped or need to reinstall everything again?
yea
your phone will be wiped off

Nope... didn't work on mine. Error 130.
Try it anyway on yours, it's very safe to try and you're not going to break anything by just trying it. Maybe I have a bad SD card or something.
Nope beta tester here ...crap hopefully soon

When i see a new post from facebook on my htc salsa's social widget on the desktop on the phone (new posts and time together at the bottom of desktop in the pghone) iget "Like Cannot Set" error message...
I try to open same post in firend stream (directly open it from applications) but nothing was changed...
I click all of the post and a menu open and i click "Like" and then my salsa give me an error message "Like Cannot Set"...
On the other hand if i try "Like" on the same post from facebook's offical app it is working successfully...
I get last update from htc for my phone with OTA but the problem still same...
How can i resolve that???...
Thanks...
hello newbie and welcome to the salsa forums!
im not totally getting what you mean......which ota update did you get or have you got? being as you havent fully filled out your profile on the right its hard to know your area.
i ask this as on 2.3.3 that problem never existed, well not to me anyway lol.
are you running 2.3.1/2.3.3 or 2.3.5?
as each new ota update has newer files/apps installed so before we can try and help resolve, plz find us this info.
to find this, goto setting, about phone. also while your there, can you get us the other info, ie software version etc.
also are you rooted? if you dont know what it means then thats a no lol..
please post this up so we can move forward

getting back to unrooted is easy and you wont find anything about it lol.
Basically if for some reason you didnt like your rooted phone....god forbid why lol, you can reinstall the RUU that is stock wth your handset. it will wipe your recovery off and revert you back to standard.
Roms available are
Iconic (based on stock but much much faster/better)
Iconic S (various Launchers available to play with)
See this post > Iconic & Iconic S
Instructions are all around these boards on how to do things.....i have do a few one2one instructions over gtalk and achieved root/recovery/rom all in an hr!
Dear BigBearEvo;
Sorry for my newbie questions and thnx a lot to you cause u reply all of them detailed...
How can i install RUU if i want to my salsa to s-on and unrooted again?
And can what is the newest version of android that can i use on that phone newer than 2.3.3 i hope i cant use ice cream sandwich 4.0 on that phone, am i right?
Thanks in advance...
You reinstall the stock ruu via HTC, I have the stock 2.3.3 ruu online
So at anytime its easy. You just plug phone to PC and run setup. Easy as that lol.

You said; "u can easily connect your pc and install orginal stock ruu" but i dont know how can i find htc salsa's stock ruu for android 2.3.3, and how can i install it to my phone (via pc) could you please tell them a little bit easy because as u know i am very very newbiw on android... :$ :$ :$

Hi, my XL is unbranded from India and I haven't seen any update yet..
Software 1.24.720.2 CID = HTC_038
I have rebooted my phone many times.
Anyone with the same problem ??
Thanks.
Any help or idea ???????
I guess till end of June you will get it.....just assuming
im from malaysia
still not getting the official
ics
The update rolls out in batches, don't expect to get it.straight away, just because other users are. Be patient, or if you really want it so bad, root your phone and install a custom ROM, or run an RUU.

OK now i am getting impatient... My XL has an original Indian ROM version 1.24.720.2 CID=htc_038,, What happen if I install a ROM from another region ??
For example can I use this one?

FFS use the search button and do just a little bit of reading before asking questions like this.... Every forum I've been on has a tutorial on how to do just about anything you want to that particular phone. If you'd have looked you would have found the answer without having to post a new thread in the 'development section' and like anonymous_1997 said this is the development section, what has your post got to do with development.
Learn to post in the right section and learn to read the current threads because the answers are in there... what you have done is just plain lazy
sorry
i really did searched and i found there are root tutorial but seems no 4.0.3 case.
i afraid it'd be different to root in 4.0.3.
so sorry about this

I added cool smileys to this message... if you don't see them go to: http://s.exps.me
Ics root is the most easy.. if you on 1.28 hboot.. just go to unlimited.io and flash recovery from there.. reboot to recovery.. and flash root zip from 3 musketeer thread.. or just go to chainfire website.. and it done..

You make it sound so easy but I have nerver done anything like this before. What´s wrong with my build I don´t really know but I guess some file on the phone is missing from unistalling some app or something.
I´ll try to unlock my bootloader, you have a link to how to do it???
