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

If you flash an XE RUU it will have beats audio with it..

Hi everyone,
I am looking for the file:

I've got the file link from http://www.filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/ in the thread [ROM]Shipped Pyramid ROM Collection but it's not working.
I tried searching on Google but I couldn't find it.
If anyone has the file would you mind sharing it?
I am really in need of the file.
Thank you very much
Please help !
Hey ptviet, unfortunately it looks like it's not available. I've had a look myself and couldn't find it. Posts about this previously haven't been successful either. Only ruu I could find was a Vodafone au one but it was only for the regular sensation.
A few people are holding out for an Ruu from Vodafone from ics.
Sorry I couldn't be of help but looks like we are out of luck.

Hi malibru,
My phone is HTC Sensation XE and I'm currently running ARHD 6.6.3 XE 3.32.401.105_R but I wanna flash the vodafone AU stock ROM because I wanna take it to customer service due to dirt under screen problem. The one I'm looking for is :
RUU_Pyramid_LE_Voda-Hutch_AU_1.73.862.3_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.903 5.02_2_release_222667_signed.exe
that is what was once running on my phone when I bought it. It's GB not ICS. I tried looking for it but all links are broken. Voda AU ICS stock ROM is not available yet I think. Do you have any idea about a safe way to return the phone? I think the important things are Vodafone's boot animation, stock ROM and locked bootloader and S-ON. I've read information on how to get S-ON, I can lock the bootloader again by following HTC Dev instruction but I cant manage to get the Vodafone's bootanimation and stock ROM for my phone.
If you have any file that could help me I really appriciate it

The file named vivo-2.6.35-gb-mr-f445c95e.tar.gz
I downloaded from

Are you sure it's an update, or is it just kernel sources?
Yep, I just extracted and it's kernel sources. I don't think you're going to do anything with that...
I m not sure with that. What do think whether is it kernel source or update and what is the difference?

It's kernel source code. You would use that as a base to compile a custom kernel for the device. Trust me, it's not what you're looking for!

Can this work if I have unlocked bootloader?
I would be happy if u link me to a guide to install it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e
That is the guide to s-off your bootloader... You cannot downgrade unless you do that first.
Can it unlock my bootliader?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e
Forget about unlocking your bootloader. This will give you s-off. Once you're s-off you can flash the GB firmware and go with either a stock or custom rom/recovery...
If you unlock your bootloader you won't have access to flash radios or kernels and cannot downgrade.
Go HERE to get GB firmware, stock GB roms, and instructions for downgrading. It's after step 5...
Thank you very much. I was having a wrong understanding that I have to unlock my bootloader to soff and install any custom Rom. Since u said we only need to soff, then I will give a try on the soff tool u linked me too.
Thank you.

I'm sorry to say that.. But for jb soff you do require unlocked bootloader.. also you need to be rooted which also can be done only when you have unlocked bootloader.
As for the htcdev unlock failing at flashing token with error "token check failed".. almost every person. Who has been trying this for the past few weeks has got the same error.. This might be because of either htcdev unlock is not generating the unlock_code.bin properly.. Or the ppl with recent phones /recently repaired phones have some cosemitic change in the motherboard which is causing this failure

Hello there, I have a HTC Sensation Z710e which is from Vodafone and has all their branding and sim card locking stuff, lovely. I want to be able to take this phone and make it look like an ordinary unlocked phone so I can use whatever sim card I would like and also without the Vodafone branding on the device, I am a little scared about rooting my device and flashing new radios and ROMs A few months ago I received the update for ICS if that is of any use to anyone. If anyone has any good ideas on how I can completely make my phone completely stock it would be so appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
The link in my signature will show you several guides to either s-off,or flash custom ROMS,whilst still s-on.
There is also a link for flashing a RUU to get stock.
Read,read read.
There's methods to unlocked your phone for free on the dev section. But your better of paying £15 to get it unlocked online. As for debranding your sensation just search xda for debranding sensation, or just root it and install a custom Rom.

Why go and pay £15 pounds when he can do it for free? After s-off he only needs to run the diagfile from the bootloader. Should give supercid as well for free and minimum hassle
