Rooting requires a computer. Just follow the tutorials for the HTC sensation as that and the XE are basically the same phone

Thanks for your quick response
Where can I find the instructions please ?
I hear of applications like super one click , unrevoked and many others .
Very confused - which is the easiest to use .

I used the one from revolutionary.UI but that is possibly not for n00bs. I knew quite a bit about what I was doing so I was confident I wouldnt have any problems. For noobs there is now the super tool so I would suggest using that and only use the revolutionary.io method as a last resort.
The instructions for the revolutionary method are in Sensation Android Developement section and is stickyed so its hard to miss

I followed the guide that is stickied at the top of the Sensation Development forum. Fairly simple to follow but that might be because i've rooted all my previous android handsets.

Did you s-off your xe ? If yes is it with Revolutonary Alpharevx tool ?
Or is it factory s-off by htc ?
Thx

Oh my god , are you a girl ? or an old guy ? LOL just kidding
How can you NOT s-off your device and use your phone's true and unlimited potential ?
This is similar to Jail Breaking iPhones

Lol, mate I just came from having a HD2 and I worked that phone to max ! Hardspl, about 60 roms etc etc and dual booting wp7 and android It's only been a few days and I haven't really read up on what to do with the sensation yet. I don't know what s-off and all the other terms are yet but what are the benefits, apart from being able to change roms ?

I had HD2 and from that I had upgraded to my first Android device which was Desire HD , Android was very confusing at the beginning but later on it became understandable.
S-OFF is just like Hard SPL , once you S-OFF your device ( Security OFF) then you can easily ROOT your phone , it's the same logic as HSPL but different approach same result
Once S-OFF and rooted , you can use many other applications to take over your Sensation and use it's powers to the limits.
Try it , you will NOT regret it
Does anyone know which tool to be used to turn OFF the security on the Sensation XE? I have searched the web and found a revolutionary tool for HTC sensation and wanted to know if this works with the XE. I'm still searching to find out how to root my sensation XE and what is the best ROM to be installed.

The procedure is the same for Sensation XE as the Sensation because they are the same phone, same hardware. beats is only an equalizer preset so they are still same phone.
To get S-OFF just use revolutionary

h-boot?
if your h boot is 1.27 so just like me and i don't know how to set s-off
Looking for Revolutionary update
So you can try - Use Wire -Trick to obtain S-OFF - Very fun
Hi ...Iam new at rooting my sensation and I a little confused with upgrading firmware for ics
I have an htc sensation 4g (tmobile) S-off , hboot 1.23.0000 , radio 10.14.9035.01, cid t-mobo10 , mid pg5810000 ,4ext recovery touch and Iam trying to install extreme sensation ics ..
I appreciate your help THX
If you're new to the phone and flashing it why not read the op in the ROM thread? All of the instructions are there. First of all you need to flash firmware to 1.27 h boot so you can get super cid. AFAIK you don't have advanced fastboot commands on 1.23. Read the op so you don't screw up your phone.
I am not being an ass but it's getting really old with so many asking for help when the Rom threads have very detailed instructions. If you can't read the instructions or don't understand them then for your own protection you shouldn't be flashing your phone.

and watch out while messing with firmwares... you might end up with a very expensive brick
Doesn't 1.23 come with the 3.12 update though? 3.12 is compatible with ICS, I booted Darkforest 4.0.3 from it before upgrading to 3.24. Could be wrong though, and either way, 3.24 is smoother and more stable.
Sidenote, however, I do agree that threads like these are unnecessary. This site is XDA Developers, the members here should know a thing or two - atleast the basic stuff. If I remember correctly, registering requires you to watch a video that says exactly not to make threads like this. Follow the guides, if you're truly stuck or are afraid to advance without clarification, then post in the Q and A section. This is for general discussion and should be kept as such.

I suggested the firmware update containing h boot 1.27 upgrade because it has unlocked h boot with advanced fastboot commands. He should be super cid, it's a lot easier to flash, most of the ICS ROMs require it. 1.27 firmware also has a newer radio and ril. Reading the stickies in dev forum will teach you a lot. You need to really have an understanding of the exact processes you're doing. I see so many inexperienced users getting into a lot situations they don't know how to fix and end up with more problems. I was a noob once and read a lot and still made mistakes but by reading I learned from mistakes others before me and how they resolved them helped me not panic and I too was able to resolve my problems. I just think you really need to read as much as possible. Especially the stickies atop all of the sections.
Installing ICS is tricky, updating a firmware if done wrong or flashing the wrong combination can cause problems. Read as much as you can.

Hello guys. I am very new to Android and this rooting business.
I am having some problem. Some xda guys told in some different posts to use taco root and while bootlooping, use the revolutionary app. Now what I don't want to experiment or do is brick my first android smartphone. So, help me out guys, s-on, non root, Sen XE. I will be obliged if someone sees into this and tries the taco root and revolution. Only the Revolutionary does not work for me because I updated to HTC's latest software optimisation update.

Step 1: WHAT does the Bootloader say ?
Are you S-OFF'd ? If so have you got a custom Recovery, e.g. CWM ? If so you can just install root through the custom recovery.
Or is Revolutionary failing to S-OFF in the first place ?
Don't know what Taco Root is but then again I'm a bear of very little brain.
EDIT: looked up Taco Root, interesting. I won't try it as I'm S-OFF'd already, there must be a thread somewhere that discusses it.

In some threads there was a mention of Taco root but none of them say how safe it is. As I am only concerned about bricking my phone. I have tried Revolutionary but fails. As I have mentioned earlier, I am s-on at the moment. And I have also tried to install CWM recovery without s-off but with no luck. Can u Devs please find out how safe taco root is, because some people have got s-off by taco temp root and then s-off using Revolutionary while bootlooping.

OK best bet is to go onto the Revolutionary IRC and ask there r.e. the Revolutionary way, hopefully someone there will help. That's the best option IMHO.

No do not use HTC dev, you will not have s off. Follow the guides on how to root, super cid, etc, stickied at the very top of Sensation Developement forum. Why are looking at how to root a phone other than the one you have? This is what causes people to brick their phones.
I have htc senation xe recently got its rooted but not S off also when i checked its cid thru emulator it showed 1111111 like that unfortunately i unstalled htc dialer throu rom toolbox now i cant get it even after reset also i want to know how can i flash european rom version my one seems to be chinese also i have tried alot to make it S off thru revolutionary method but failed my android version is 2.3.4 with a sense 3.0 my first wish is to flash european stock rom on my set if not possible then how i will reinstall htc dialer for sense 3.0 i need help from this forum thanks

you can flash whatever rom you want. read the guides and make sure you understand whats up. if your really jacked up flash an RUU, then read the guides fully and start over. no harm doing it that way. Flash a 2.3.4 RUU or and ICS RUU,
