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?

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
Well, as it happens, everyone wants working end result but no one is willing to contribute to it. Meh

Does the stock kernel run at 1.5GHz with custom ROMs?
I wonder if it sets frequency from CID....

CID is the same as other phones, e.g. unbranded is HTC__001
I'm running the Revolution HD XE Rom from Mike on my Sensation XE, works very well;-)

Hi there,
I just bought Sensation XE and I want to root it. But in the search engine I couldn't find any thread about Sensation XE. It's only Sensation and Sensation XL. My question is, are there any differences regarding the kernel of these models or should I just read the threads for Sensation XL in order to root my Sensation XE and install custom ROM?
Thank you in advance

You will see how to do S-OFF, Flash Recovery, etc.
Sensation/Sensation XE are the same for this matter, Sensation XL is very different though.
I unrooted the sensation xe today. No experience with HTC whatsoever. By mistake installed RUU Gingerbread 2.3.4... but of Sensation instead of Sensation xe.
Now have all specs showing of Sensation like 1.2 GHZ and no Beats Audio, etc.
My question is this :
I have downloaded now ICS update RUU file ( the correct one for sensation xe ) but it says that my phone Must Be a Sensation XE and nothing else.
But after this installation of Sensation RUU , isn't my phone just Sensation now or I still can update with power off into bootloader from this ICS RUU since in reality it is a Sensation xe ?
Or do i need to install a Sensation xe gingerbread first before I upgrade ?
Please advice. I don't want to plug in my usb and install wrongly.
Any way out please ?
Thanks in advance.

Number one what's your objective meaning what are trying to achieve you could have found a xe ruu instead and my suggestion if you won't the ruu for the xe you will have to read before flashing don't get me wrong I'm not trying to be rude but this could have been avoided had you did a bit more reading and ask question's before running that ruu but let me do some searching around to see what I can find and I'll get back with you on the result's sit tight well I'm back and its a no go on the ruu for the xe strange though you think it would be in available but it isn't and also you could check with your carrier's web site for your device and it may point you in the right direction I don't know but it's worth a try I'm with tmo u s and thats how I found the latest update for my senssation and you could have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1326631

Hi Everyone! I really need to ask this, it might be redundant but I tried to search for it but I failed big time. I'm really New at this device HTC Sensation 4G what I want to know is if I can use any HTC Sensation Specific Official Firmware or Custom ROM in this device. For example MIUIv4 or CM9 has an update for HTC Pyramid (Sensation) can I flash this w/out the risk of toasting/bricking my Device. Just like I flashed the wrong thing on my Device? Is it safe to assume that this ROM are universally compatible to all Sensation Series?
Sorry for asking too much, I just want to be sure.
