Hello, i got one Sensation today, and now i want to know what ROM install on it.
The Sensation XE ROM works on normal Sensation?
What is the best ROM to update?
Best Regards
Is say start off with miui, then if you don't like it try something else...
Already in use, i buy from another person who have it installed.
But i don´t like very mutch, its too much iphonized...
One question please:
If This Sensation already have one miui ROM, that means that the phone is already and prepare to install new ROM´s or i need to unlocked and S-off..?
Regards
Yes, you have to have s off and be fully rooted. I'd go with cyanogenmod next...
All depends on what you want to do with the phone. I personally have been impressed with the ARHD Roms. As the others have said, make sure the phone is S-off and Cid 1111111, if you dont know how to check for these, there are several good guides that will help you through the process. I highly recommend doing a nandroid backup before you plan on testing out other roms, in case something goes bad.
I have this:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT- 1.17.1111
RADIO- 10.14.9035.01_M
eMMC-boot
I installed the pyramid 3d XE, but don´t work correctly, did the Sensation XE ROMS work in normal Sensation?
Did i need to update something like RADIO, etc..?
I see that some ROMS have "Wipe necessary", but what it means, i have one program "SuperWipe.zip".. its for install Before?
Regards
Start out by updating your radio to 10.58.9035.00U
I correctly install and it work good the pyramid3d XE ROM, but in the lower left corner, appears "SAFE MODE" every time...
anyone help?
Try another rom then, Android Revolution has both Sense 3.0 and 3.5 roms as well as the ICS leak.
Use superwipe before installing any rom to completely wipe the phone, and then install the rom as usual by selecting .zip and then reboot.
When it boots up, give it 5 minutes before touching anything, sign into google, facebook, etc. And then if you'd like flash a custom kernel.
Ok Thank you very much,
I will do that.
The "Safe Mode" means that this ROM is not Full suported or its the Sense version its not suported by my device?
I like very much this XE appeareance..
Regards
Best one is Energy sense 3.5 very good battery life plus stunning tweaks. Your phone is already rooted so u can flash any custom Rom. Make sure to install recovery and do nandroid backup.

if ur CID is not currect it will not update completely
and if u put the zip file in the root every time bootloader wants to update

Some roms need supercid. If ur just rooted and soff u can use any rom in rom manager without supercid.

Hi,
I want to flash a new radio to my Sensation as I currently have a really bad battery life and thought it could maybe be the result of an non-matched radio. (Updated to Android Revolution HD 3.0.0 yesterday)
My bootloader tells me I'm Ship S-OFF, but I've read that I'd need ENG S-OFF to flash a new radio, but could not find any guide telling me how to "do that".
Do I need ENG S-OFF? If so, how can I get it?
Thanks for your help.
Find Bin4ry's thread in dev section (it's a little hard to find, old thread but still) and inside that thread you can download PG58IMG.zip file. Then just flash that file and that's it
Edit: Here is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122053

Btw, I'm not sure if you need ENG S-OFF to flash a radio

Thanks for the reply. Does anyone else know if I really need ENG S-OFF to flash a new Radio? I don't want to do it if I don't need it..

I've already installed one PG58IMG.zip file a few weeks ago, which was a bit "bigger". Am I supposed to just install the "new" one "over" the old one? Or will there be problems?

You do not need ENG S-OFF to flash a new radio.

What is ENG S-Off used for anyway? Installing a new ROM overwrites the radio though?

Installing a new ROM does not override the radio, installing a new radio does. If you don't know what ENG hboot does, don't flash it. You don't need it, and if you don't know what youre doing you can brick your phone.

I do know what I'm doing (I think xD). I just mixed up all the information I got, so I wanted things to be cleared up a bit.
What I just want to know is, what is the difference between Ship S-Off and Eng S-Off? What is responsible for giving acces to Nand making me able to install a custom ROM? Ship S-Off, right?
I'm really confused right now xD

Ship S-OFF is enough to flash a recovery so you can flash a ROM. If your ROM needs a different radio the chef will let you know and will likely provide instructions to upgrade. ENG s-off opens up more commands that can potentially break a phone if you do the wrong things.

I have read the 1st post of the above thread. As I understand it, I have to do it in the following steps:
1. S-Off using revoltionary
2. Install CWM Recovery 5.0.0.8
3. Permanent root using su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip
4. Install Custom ROM
Is the above procedure right? Or have I messed any step?
I believe the Super CID step is for branded phones which are locked to a particular carrier. Since my phone is unbranded and not locked to any carrier, I dont have to do it, right?
Please advice if I am missing something.

To install new ROM's like the ICS 4.0.3 ones you need supercid because you have to flash a new firmware
The order in which you wrote is correct
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
So I need Super CID for ICS ROM's only and not for Sense 3.5 ROM's, correct?

Technically incorrect as the ICS ROMs are sense 3.5 at the moment but I know what you mean. No need to SuperCID for Gingerbread based ROMs
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using xda premium
Yes. I meant gingerbread roms. So are the steps that I mentioned correct? And in the right order?
Btw, why does my phone has 'locked' written in the bootloader menu? Is it the locked bootloader from htc and do I have to first unlock it before attempting S-off?

You should be able to S-OFF without unlocking it and it only says locked because the revolutionary tool and HTCdev tool work in slightly different ways. The steps are correct and in the right order

Thanks, Jonny. You have been of great help.
Another thing. If I root my Sensation now and install a custom rom, will I still get the ICS update available notification whenever HTC releases it? And will I be able to apply that ICS update to my rooted phone?
I know there already are ICS rom's available but I would still want to check out what HTC offers in their official ICS update. Maybe a newer version of Sense?
Hello Developers, I have on updating my UK O2 Branded Sensation XE debranded and backed up the original image via backup and recovery.
Does anyone know or want the files / image so to pass on to the less fortunate of us who didnt backup there system and need the original O2 Stock ROM.
If there are developers can can utilise this please advise what files i need to look for and zip up for you to play with etc.

Definitely worth posting seeing as there isn't an RUU around
I want to go back. Please post . You need to go to into yiur sd, and then clockwork/backups and there should be a backup ffolder. Put that into a zip and upload.

Follow this: [GUIDE][APR.03.12] How to flash ICS 3.32 firmware and ARHD 6.6.x ICS ROM. you can apply it to flash any ics 3.32 based ROM. You need to upgrade your firmware to the latest 3.32 to make it boot.
Your ROM OP clearly says:
Before flashing this ROM, you NEED to upgrade your firmware to 3.32.401.105

G'day champ,
Welcome back, begin with the guides provided below.
1. S-off, unlock, recovery, root & SuperCID
[Guide] to Installing S-off, Unlocking, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on
2. Install the latest firmware, 3.32 is needed for the latest base.
[Firmware][Mar 30]User-Friendly Firmware 1.17/3.12/3.24,3.30 & 3.32 Unlocked
3. Flash a ROM, Android Revolution HD(ARHD) is the most popular(for good reason)
[ROM] Android Revolution HD 6.5.5 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | 3.32.401.105
After all that, feel free to learn what you will, there's plenty to learn, it just requires reading, and problems, there's guides all over the Sensation forums, generally within the first couple of pages.
Thank you for all that. What is the firmware step for??

For what reasons exactly
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
You can root without doing supercid. Supercid is optional.
It allows you more flexibility though. Useful if you want to flash other areas/carriers rom. Personally I prefer to keep original cid.
Recently I couldn't receive ota update to ICS because I was supercid, then reverted to the original one and suddenly I received the Ota update notice.
It's up to you whether supercid or not and it's not a real concern because you can revert at anytime.
What is your current hboot version? Power off, pull battery, press & hold vol down and power to enter bootloader and read it off.
You have to check your hboot is supported by revolutionary- the tool to give you s-off.

And the OTA thing... Say i update my phone..will i lose root n such..
Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Yes you will lose everything and bootloader will become 1.27 (which is unsupported by revolutionary) Unless you have S-OFF before the update that is.
As for SuperCID, Its optional but HIGHLY recommended, As said before, it allows you to flash any firmware from any region....
If you dont have it, You MUST make sure it matches your CID or it wont boot... It can also be tricky to find one for your region (depending where you are)
It only takes a second, And its permanent and reversible
When i switch from rom to rom... Do i superwipe then flash rom everytime??
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
You can do, but its not necessary, Have a look at the installation guide for the ROM your going to flash.... Usually if you are updating the same ROM wipe isnt needed..
If you are going to a different ROM altogether, A wipe is a MUST
