Sensation xe queries

Right now, I'm considering upgrading to a sensation xe. I've seen some roms mentioning that they support the xe, but I'm not sure about the other roms. Will they support the xe? Also, do you recommend this phone?

Oh, and I heard that installing cm7 will wipe beats audio. Is there a way to back beats up and reinstall it after installing cm7?

Well, i've got an XE and have been using v 08 of this ROM... No problems (v 09 has some issues that will be resolved soon)
You have to S-Off and root etc. by following instructions here If you're not sure what you're doing then do not do it (there's my disclaimer!) Lol.
PS
I haven't lost the Beats by Dre either.
I see...thanks a lot. But since that is a sense ROM, it doesn't resolve my worries about losing beats as I mainly use AOSP roms on my devices.

Oh, and I also heard that there is some sort of bootloader unlock solution from HTC for the sensation and evo 3d. Will the one for the sensation work for the xe? Thx so much!

Help!? Sensation XE Official RUU on Sensation

Hi, I need to know if anyone has tried this. I need to be able to flash my 'original' Sensation with the Official XE Stock RUU. I'm currently running Android Revolution HD and have been experiencing a lot of FC's.
I would be so grateful if any of you clever guys can help me.
I am S-OFF and Super Cid

Yes, you can.
But you'll probablybe better off with newer 1.50 ruu

Thanks. I'll give it a go. It does pick the phone up and thinks its doing a update so it is connecting properly. I don't think it wants to install as it picks it up as not being a 'XE'. Also could I ask, where can I locate the RUU you mentioned?

I need the XE RUU on Sensation. Lol

Do your search first, but if you really struggle feel free to pm me. I'll help if I can
Correct, 1.50 is OG Sensation ruu, but its newer that 1.73, xe ruu. If you still want to use XE RUU, but can't do it, pm me, we'll try to work it out. I'd start with reinstalling drivers and redownloading RUU.

The error is unknown. It says it just as it starts flashing.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA App
You could try this:
1. Set your phone so Super CID (you need to be S-OFF to do this)
2. Make sure you have HTC Sync installed
3. Go to Settings>Power and turn off 'Fast Boot'
4. Turn the phone off
5. Turn it back on whilst holding the volume down button - this will take you to the HBOOT screen (it'll say HBOOT above the menu)
6. Use the volume button(s) to highlight 'FASTBOOT' and press power to select FASTBOOT mode (it'll say FASTBOOT instead of HBOOT)
7. Connect to your PC
8. Once driver is installed, run the RUU file as it's a Windows program
9. Follow the instructions
Use the newest RUU as well, which should be 1.73.401.4

If you want to flash ROMs,you should do that.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
I don't know if it's really necessary to be Supercid, i have Cid HTC_102 and all roms i've tested so far (ARHD, Insert Coin, Elegancia, Virtuous Inquisition) are working.
First let's talk about what a "CID" is in the first place. CID, as best I can tell, stands for "Carrier IDentification" and it's a little number that restricts which software can be installed on a phone. The CID determines for example, that only an officially-signed T-Mobile radio can be installed on a T-Mobile phone. And it's why you can't flash a Vodafone ROM onto a Bell Desire Z.
It may be helpful to think of the CID as a kind of "region coding" like you find on DVDs, where a North American DVD can't be played in a European player. But if you hack your DVD player, you could switch it from a European player to a North American one. Or you might even hack it to play both.
You can do the same with phones. SuperCID is, as the name implies, a universal CID where the phone will accept any kind of firmware image from anyone.

[Q] sensation xe s-on, hboot 1.18

From last October xe is in my hand. Am not getting the iCS OTA update, can I get some stock update which doesn't void ma warranty. Am having s-on boot 1.18. Please suggest me a suitable Rom for iCS with sence..
As far as I understand changing the phone with a rom WILL void your warranty HOWEVER you CAN put the device back to stock if there is a warranty issue and bringing it back to stock then your warranty would be fine and back as long as the device is returned to stock.
So its kind of a price of mind to know
If you want a custom rom you can root your device using revolutionary according to your h boot that should work. S off your device then you can install your rom. Xda has guides on a step by step process to walk you through the entire process. Just use the search you will find it. I hope this helps you out. Best of luck.

Am new to android device, and with very less basics about it.
What's the s-on & s- off, am still having confusion about it
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA
If you don't want to root check your update area on your device it should be displayed in there. If its not arrived yet you will have to wait until your provider sends it out. Otherwise root soff and you can run any ics or 4.0.3 from you like. There are many different roms to choose from depending on your taste. As for stability custom roms are FAR more stable than stock rom so don't worry about that!
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
S off is security off. You can flash easier and have more ability with soff also. Your lucky your boot version is pretty straight forward. Check out the guides. Follow step by step you will be good. Revolutionary will s off for you then you root your device after. Read through the guide a couple of times. What I did was write the steps down so I didn't forget one and follow exactly.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
So before flashing the Rom I must make my device to soff right. I found many Rom's with different utilities, will you suggest some of the best with stock features with iCS
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA
for h-boot 1.18, you will need to use TacoRoot through adb to get a temporary root before using revolutionary.

Yes once your soff its real easy to do and the advantages you have after rooting you phone are endless, in my own personal opinion i think android revolution is the plase to start for stock rom with all the crap removed that we dont use.
