HTC Sensation shipping RUU gets leaked

With the HTC Sensation's European street date fast approaching, the final shipping software for the device has leaked out on Chinese blog 911Sniper in the form of an RUU executable and image dump. The software is listed as version 1.24.401.1, and features the new HTC Sense 3.0 on top of Android 2.3. It's also a whopper -- uncompressed, the system dump weighs in at just under 850MB.

Android Police has dissected these new files and notes that the bootloader is signed, making the task of getting custom ROMs loaded onto HTC's new flagship phone significantly harder. However, this shouldn't come as much of a surprise -- a signed bootloader is pretty much par for the course when it comes to newer HTC devices. Hit the source link if you want to poke around the files yourself.
