Did you s-off your xe ? If yes is it with Revolutonary Alpharevx tool ?
Or is it factory s-off by htc ?
Thx

Oh my god , are you a girl ? or an old guy ? LOL just kidding
How can you NOT s-off your device and use your phone's true and unlimited potential ?
This is similar to Jail Breaking iPhones

Lol, mate I just came from having a HD2 and I worked that phone to max ! Hardspl, about 60 roms etc etc and dual booting wp7 and android It's only been a few days and I haven't really read up on what to do with the sensation yet. I don't know what s-off and all the other terms are yet but what are the benefits, apart from being able to change roms ?

I had HD2 and from that I had upgraded to my first Android device which was Desire HD , Android was very confusing at the beginning but later on it became understandable.
S-OFF is just like Hard SPL , once you S-OFF your device ( Security OFF) then you can easily ROOT your phone , it's the same logic as HSPL but different approach same result
Once S-OFF and rooted , you can use many other applications to take over your Sensation and use it's powers to the limits.
Try it , you will NOT regret it

Hi guys, (possibly) noob question here, but I'm planning to get a HTC Sensation XE when it come out here.
I realize everything about the headset (other than looks and packaging) are the same as the original Sensation. The chipset are the same except clocked higher (which is probably on a software level from what I understand).
Therefore, when it comes to flashing ROMs, can I flash Sensation roms found in this forum into the Sensation XE without screwing it up?

I have flashed the XE ROM into my Sensation and it worked just fine! there is a sticky thread and the team working on that ROM has a Sensation XE Customized ROM as well as Sensation Customized ROM so you will be just fine to flash any!! here is a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849

That's not the question that was asked, and it's the same one I'm wondering. Can we (Sensation XE) users flash the ROMS from this section (Sensation ROMS) onto our phones?
There are plenty of topics around discussing whether the Sensation and the XE are identical hardware wise, but nobody has give a definitive "yes" answer yet.
Why don't you try and then report back? I'm pretty sure it will work.

I'd rather get an expert's advice than try it myself and risk screwing up the phone, I also want to keep it under warranty for now in case I have any hardware problems within the first few weeks of purchase.
I'm also interested in the answer

do be honest i dont see it being a problem since when you look at the device it has the same, hardware only differences it is the overclocked chip which i do believe could be hardware, since the software has nothing to do with it. Personally when i had other devices in the pass i have always cross software with the same make and different models and they still work. If you are in still doubt just wait for a while but right now, alot of people are just using the non xe edtion and make it a XE, person i benchmark mine via the Manufacture version and there is no differents in performance...person i say it is a gimmick. Also the headphones are not that anyway, all the headphone dont is just justify the price increase....
Answer to thread starter, No not possible. Both the Sensation and Sensation XE are two different ROM. Even a simple Battery mod for the Sensation would not work on the XE and vice versa. So I don't think it would be possible to flash a Sensation Based ROM.
However RoMS for the Sensation which are based on XE can be given a shot, and let all of us know of the out come
Okay, but before I install any custom rom, i'd have to install cwm first right? Is the steps to do so the same as an ordinary sensation?
Guys, s-off your XE, install cwm, backup, install any sensation rom, if it doesn't work restore nandroid. What's difficult about that?

Exactly, someone has to be the first. The RUU is available so going back to stock isn't an issue either

Rooting requires a computer. Just follow the tutorials for the HTC sensation as that and the XE are basically the same phone

I used the one from revolutionary.UI but that is possibly not for n00bs. I knew quite a bit about what I was doing so I was confident I wouldnt have any problems. For noobs there is now the super tool so I would suggest using that and only use the revolutionary.io method as a last resort.
The instructions for the revolutionary method are in Sensation Android Developement section and is stickyed so its hard to miss

I followed the guide that is stickied at the top of the Sensation Development forum. Fairly simple to follow but that might be because i've rooted all my previous android handsets.
Hello,
I just got a mail from HTC Elevate saying:
Who here wants an ICE CREAM SANDWICH? We do! Hopefully you do, too. We're happy to announce the first round of software previews in HTC elevate and you are in the first group of folks who will be able to participate!
To get this rolling, we'll need you to tell us some information about your device. Once we have this info, assuming it's all 100% accurate, we'll be able to push ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) straight to you via HTC's software distribution server- like magic!
To get started, head into the ACTIVITY now.
Cheers!

well i think they will push ics via ota so you have to be s-on and unrooted...so you have to flash a RUU...
Reverted to stock a couple of days ago.
Today I nearly re-rooted to try Mike's new 3.30 base.
Glad I didn't now...though it looks like it may be next week before we get it
Ah ok thanks then, since it's 2am here and i'm really sleepy, can you quickly point me to the right topic on how to revert back please?
I hope it's not going to be a pain in the butt, otherwise ill have to do it 2morrow

Hi all,
i bought yesterday my htc sensation 4G, and i want to install new custom ROM instead of the stock one, but all tutorials are talking about "HTC Sensation" and not "HTC Sensation 4G", is it the same?
can i follow this tutorial (in french)?
many thanks
They are the same. I bet googling "can I flash sensation ROMs on sensation 4G" would answer your question too.

thank you se1000, now i have my phone s-off/ rooted, and now im installing the touch recovery,but i want to know will i need to SuperCID my phone to install custom roms(i have 1.27.0000 hboot) ?
which Rom do you advice me to install (sense 4)?
Just my opinion but venom is good.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda premium
Venom Viper rom is good for Sense 4. I would SuperCID, just to be on the safe side
thanks to all of you,
but one last question, now i have sense 4 installed and i don't know which firmware i have, in the software number i get "ordroid 9.0.0" ??
when we need to change the firmware version? will i have the right to install any ICS/Sense Rom whith my curent firmware?
i had a HTC HD2 before buying this Sensation, i installed all avaible ROMs for the HD2 (realy all) and whitout any problem and without need to change any thing (bootloader,firmware,...) (after installing the right recovery), but with HTC Sensation i think it is more complicated,is it?

Sensation and Sensation 4G are the same phone. The Sensation 4G is the T-Mobile US variant (name only).
Yes I wondered the same thing until I learned the 4g like we have is just a name Tmobile gave it. It confused me too at first.

Hello
I have a htc sensation xe but with a htc sensation data and informations , I do not know if this is a manufacturing error or the previous owner flashed another kernel or whatever (see photos)
installed android version is the latest available (see photos yet)
The imei under the battery is : 358313049963783; and when I do : *#06# I have : 358313043952576
Do I have to flash another kernel or something else, knowing that it is s-off?
thank you
about differents imei the only thing that i can think is probably the device has been replaced with a new motherboard
Is the IMEI the same as the one on the box?
& im guessing it just has a Regular Sensation ROM on it, not an XE ROM

I think that the kernel flashed the first time is not the true
What do you think ? and what kernel you advise me?

Last week had similar problem. I was going nuts.
I had a second hand phone. It was rooted but had sensation xe. I unrooted the phone and locked s-off.
It became sensation regular ! Went to HTC and since it was not rooted, they updated for free. I am now running Android 4.0.3
