Sorry for the wrong section, well i did't do anything it was S-OFF from the start so i can't use that guide. Like i said i have already rooted one phone.
I really like this Rom and a couple of the others. But they're all pretty much no good to me without the WiFi calling app.

Since you're already S-OFF and have CWM installed, just go to Step 3 in the link I provided above:

Yes, the phone was S-Off already (so no need to re-do it), you added CWM (necessary) and then flashed a custom rom (which included the SU bit so it's rooted). Exactly the same as yours that you went through all the steps to get.

How to ROOT my HTC Sensation XE???

Hello to all, since there is no no section dedicated to Sensation XE, I ask you. Is there a way or in any case a guide to give ROOT permissions to Sensation XE?
Thanks, bye
Hello,
The way to accure ROOT permissions is the same for all HTC Sensation devices. Just go throught the forums and find the way you'd like to go. Its all depends on your current firmware & HBOOT version.

he can use the root tool of mine too ....if he did HTC-DEV unlock of bootloader (the second thread asks for same ...also flashing custom recovery is an extra for the second thread ..which is not required in my case )
I can recommend doing so. I've used your app for my XE too.
Works like a charm!

Hi,
HTC Sensation,Sensation XE,and Sensation 4G are all the same.
Go to settings/power ,and untick fastboot.
Power your phone off.
Power on holding volume down and power button together.
This takes you to bootloader.
There,you will see your hboot number.

there is no better thread
if you are still under warranty then follow the first guide
note: backup everything from your sdcard to pc because wire trick will wipe them all(if you follow first guide)
if you follow second guide you have to know that after unlocking bootloader it will ask you for factory reset

Hi first find out your h boot version so you can be pointed to the correct guide. Different guides for certain h boot versions. Here is how you find your version. Pull battery put battery back in and press volume down and power at the same time. Hold it there and you will see a screen pop up. Look at the top of the screen. It will tell you your h boot version. You post your h boot version. Or you can search for a guide for your specific h boot. If you can't find it we can link you to the proper guide. Hope this helps.

thanks for the reply , my hboot is 1.27.0000
what should i do ?
Hello.
So your hboot version is 1.27.0000. Means you are using Ice cream Sandwich right now..
You can do the following:
1. Unlock your bootloader
2. S-Off your phone
3. Flash a custom recovery
4. Root your phone OR Flash a Custom ROM
You can also flash a custom ROM without doing S-Off. But I'll suggest you to S-Off your phone. It's not that hard, and it'll help you in the future..
Kindly read This Guide for further details.
Good luck.

Hi!
THIS thread and THIS thread could be very useful to you. Read everything, they are excellent step by step guides. The second link is the same anasmunir gave you, if you do not want to s-off your device but want to gain root access and install custom roms, go for that. Have a look at them and if you have any question just ask. Good luck!
Thanks for the quick reply.
The thing is i don`t know what flashing my phone means. I want to get jb on my sensation with a recent sense (4.1 ) so i need to flash and root but then?

There is no.. Jellybean with sense 4.1
There is sense 4.1 with ics or pure jellybean based roms.. You have make your choice
As you don't know how to flash a rom.. Then
Refer guide on "flashing roms with SON" guide by asskickar.. In sensation general section.. (step 4b gives you idea on how to flash a rom properly).. And the whole guide gives you the complete process of flashing from scratch.... pretty noob proof I would say

The best thing to do will be install a custom rom and then as the official updates come along update them manually or wait for custom roms based on the updates. To do that you have to first download the drivers, unlock your bootloader, s-off your device then install the custom rom. You can visit the development page and learn how to s-off you phone and then how to install custom roms.

As for the battery drain your phone might not be calibrated properly. To fix that just install an app that whipes battery stats from the play store and follow the instructions
