Hmmm Im hoping this is it, Root for this phone, any confirmation? My phone is on the Brown truck today, out for delivery, should be getting it by the end of the day.

I'm fairly certain that gingerbrick was tested and it didn't work

The original source of this link was taken down, my thinking is it doesn't work

Even if this did work, it would only be temp root.

I really want to try this but a tad sceptical as I would imagine it would be all over xda if it was true.

In the dev's op for the thread he states it will not work on devices with S-on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

I'm guessing no one still actually tested this though. It said to run gingerbreak for like 10 mins after removing htc sync. I ran gingerbreak only for about 2 minutes and nothing happened. And temp root is at least a start if it hopefully works.

Lucky guy. Also happy to see T-Mobile actively supports the development community which leads me to believe that they won't block the S-OFF roll out from HTC.

Dunno. Coming from my n1 running cm7 I don't miss it. Apps like feedr go poof, weak camera, poor corporate network support. All things that just work on the sensation stock rom. With the exception of nandroid there's not
A thing I need root for. On the n1 I needed it to work around all the limitations of the various roms out there, not the case with the sensation.

My Touch 4G official Netflix app!

What ROM are you running. The MyTouch4G/Glacier isn't on their officially supported list.
wooo hoooo finally!
version number? a lot of us have been running 1.3 for a while...
I just got the phone this past week and am still using an unrooted 2.3.4 MT4G. I got the app this past weekend, so it is supported.
Lmao. The mytouch 4g slide has official support. Not the regular my touch. If u are using unity or daddys port u will have show in the,market. But it still works non the less.

correct, some of the ROM builders have inputted a coding that makes the market think it's a officially supported phone.

I have 2.3.4, I just got the phone so its just the update from tmobile, but yeah, I downloaded netflix from the market and used it. Its version 1.3
So how did I get it? I wish I am that good, but I am not ;-) anyhow I have a brand new one, not rooted yet, and no plans on modding this phone until I read about the different rom's.

found that some ROM's seem to make the app dissapear on the market, however if you log in to your Netflix and go to streaming you can choose Android and it will take you to the app on your PC which will then DL to your MT4G...that's what I did. Works great.
Big applause for Netflix streaming on my phone
Did not know that that. Thanks for the heads up.

Ics update

So I saw an article on tmonews stating htc will update the sensation and the amaze 4G in the beginning of 2012. what I wonder is how the hell they updating a device that came last like the amaze 4G and not the mytouch slide that came out way before? Smh yea it will get updated but not in the time it should. Watch us get an update really late on mid 2012.

Yeah but here is the thing...what will HTC add with ICS...remember in all actuallity the OEM system is now Gingerbread but mysense added to it...your user expirience is the redheaded T-mo branded version of sense (which I hate compared to the real one) So is HTC going to release ICS with sense 3.5 or will it be like the phones released early next year with sense 4.0? So yeah while we will have probally Cyanogen 8 and maybe ICS AOSP I can't wait to see a ROM that is ICS with Sense....

Well I seen a story posted on the web by AndroidCore about the HTC devices and the Doubleshot was not on it...but one question was since t-mobile branded it from HTC wonder if it would be up to T-mo....there should be no reason the doubleshot would get overlooked it is a new device now...
Well looks like it was front page here...
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-announces-which-devices-get-ice-cream-sandwich/
The decision is a combination of HTC and T-Mobile. More importantly, you should simply focus on the fact we aren't finished announcing devices that will receive the ICS upgrade.

I had the sensation and upgraded to the one s but still like to flash roms with the sensation for fun and the sensation seems so laggy compared to the one s. The performance and battery life of the one s is amazing. I defiantly recommend getting the one s just be sure you get the s4 chip.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
try AOKP Jelly Bean (the link is in my sig) i love this rom and it's as close to aosp jelly bean as i've seen so far (not including cm10 because it is not fully functional)
Are you from Europe or America? In Europe you'll probably get the S3 Version even if it's from T-Mobile.
I'm okey with this phone, I can't complain about anything except the missing update support for the S3 device (I have one and can't do anything about it) and the missing custom ROM support.
I got the phone yesterday evening and it came with the s4 chip (im in the u.s.).
Rooted it an hour later.
Im loving it compares to the sensation.
Only problem I have right now is the backlights on the buttons won't turn on sometimes I reseted ny phone before rooting it and that did the trick. But now its back at it

Hello everyone

Just switched to my millionth android phone, coming from a t989, picked up a sensation. Looking to eventually root and find a clean stable ROM. Looking forward to some suggestions, maybe tips and tricks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2
Hi and welcome! You can take a look at Sensation general forums and they have the rooting guides there. Also look at sensation android development and the roms Are there. Before anything you need to know your h boot version in order to find the guide that is correct for you. In order to find that you pull out your battery, then place it back in and press your volume down and power button at the same time. A screen will come up with your information. On top will be your h boot version. Write it down. Then you can find the correct rooting guide for your boot version.l read through the guide a few times. I suggest to even print the guide out so you can refer to EVERY step with ease . I did this and trust me it helps a lot because you can't miss a single step. Before you begin familiarize yourself with the guide. It's worth the effort in the end. Before you know it you will be S-off and rooted . I do suggest you also S-off because you will have more freedom later and be able to flash a lot easier. This is my opinion. I'm S-off. S off is like security off . Since your rooting you might as well soff also. The guide will tell you how. I hope these tips help you out. And I want to say again welcome. Best wishes!
sent from HTC sensation, soff, 3.33 firmware, viper Rom, sense 4.1, mugen battery. please press thanks if I helped in anyway.
Thanks for all that awesome information, I'm very familiar with routing and s-off and all that. To be honest,I underestimated this phone. I have never seen so much development for a phone and I'm kinda overwhelmed with all the roms, as to which are popular and stable and the latest.

I've got to say, I had 3 Amazes, this is my first sensation and I like it so much better, but I can't quite pinpoint why. It feels great in the hands, I love the groove asking the glass, and the thin-ness of it. I know speed for disc the amaze is suppose to be better, but this phone is real nice.
One thing I notice, it seems a little longer, yet a little more narrow as far as the screen goes? Maybe it's just me, coming from a 4.52 inch screen
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2
Just checked my hboot version, it's 1.27.0000 so I'm going to start looking into the easiest way to perm root my sensation and see which ROM is best. Viper seems like the most popular.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2
You're right, viper is the most popular, but that's probably because team venom does so much work with sense and they have devs for a lot of HTC devices so they get things done and put a ton of features, by the way, be careful on juopunut bear. I know you've had the amaze and you've probably already done it, read everything very carefully because you do not want your new phone to be bricked
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk 2
For ICS ROMs I'd have to say ARHD is by far the fastest and smoothest. Cm9 wasn't bad but I still find it laggy and buggy even in final build. I won't mention jellybean because you said you wanted something stable and I take that as no betas . Good luck and just remember that if you get s-off and super cid you will save yourself a lot of trouble with incompatibility issues.

If you to try a sense rom really close to vanilla ICS I would go with virtual inquisition. I used it for many months, it was really good battery life was great. But development has seized for that rom.
