This does not belong in the development section. Please read the rules of xda so you know where to properly post. This thread belongs in Q&A not development. But once the bootloader is unlocked and we can flash custom roms we could flash whatever rom we want.
I'm not sure where else this thread should go. I am also interested in switching to the US ROM.

As I said, I should go in Q&A or General. His thread is not directly related to development. Asking what rom he will be able to flash should not be it's own thread in the development section.
Hi all, I am a complete Android noob and am looks for some answers.
I currently own a HTC Sensation Z710e that came with my contract on Vodafone and I am intrested in performing the whole S-Off and root thing, my question is though since I seen on the HTC Dev site that there is an EU version and a Vodafone version of the Sensation, I wanted to know if rooting on my phone would work and would I be able to install standard Senstation custom ROM's, would they install just fine or would there be issues with things such as calling or texting people? Would I need to change the radio settings around or something, if so how?
I just used the htc dev site just to see about how it works and I am probably going to use revolutionary.
I am running Android 2.3.4
You can tell I am not yet fully experienced when it comes to Android, so could I have some general tips and guidelines when it comes to modding my Sensation please.
Thanks for the help!
Yes when you root it and S off you can use any compatable rom - also unlcok the Sensation for free as well.
My phone came from Orange - S off CoreDroid for me and unlocked its
Marvellous sorry Sensational, now on Virgin
If you can read and follow instructions it's easy.

Okay cheers guys.
Hi Guys,
I am running my phone on android 2.3.5 and hboot version 2.00.00.2. I was exploring on the net, how to root android but could just find that the hboot version on htc desire s has to be 0.98.0000 which is suported on revolution.io website. Is there any other way to s-off my phone to go for rooting.
Thanks in advance for your help.

unlock your bootloader via htcdev site
and than just flash superuser from recovery
Hi guys, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but just to avoid making an unnecessary one, I thought I'd ask my question here.
I've been looking at htcdev, and I understand that it doesn't officially support the ds, but it works. It's probably a stupid noob question, but assuming I select 'desire' on HTC's drop down menu, how imperative is it that I get the exact RUU? There isn't one listed for my provider (o2 uk). Googling, and searching on a few forums has turned up nothing, but my software details are:
2.3.5 with sense 3.0
Soft. Num. 2.10.401.8
I was under the impression the 3 digit string pertained to the provider, and o2 tends to use x.xx.701.x.
Is it completely necessary to find a specific RUU, or is the region the only real important factor? Would the HTC eu one be suitable?
Thanks in advance for your help guys. Never got.round to rooting my old desire, but 'upgraded' to the s before I realised it wasn't as easy to root!

Hello,
I have HTC Inspire from AT&T. Have rooted and unlocked to 2.2.1. Now I would like to upgrade from 2.2.1 to 4. Can somebody help me How to upgrade Android HTC Inspire from 2.2.1 to 4?

Check the link in my signature, Post#7 which contains basic info.
Basically read the op for each thread/rom to see what is required.
Download rom to sd card, reboot in recovery, perform a full wipe, flash the rom, reboot.
If you unlocked the bootloader using htc dev, that has a different flashing method. You'll get all that info from the guide glevitan wrote in my sig.

You should do some research before you post a new thread... There is so much info about what you asked, a simple search would have gotten you what you were looking for. Good luck with the process though!
Just some advice...
Please search the forums for threads, guides, tutorials, etc. before making a thread. Most of the time you can find your answer to your problem after searching the forums for a few minutes.
Try to find attn1's one click root kit and please read the manual.
Edit: Here you go. http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=74
I'm currently running 4.1.1 with sense 4+ with firm 3.18. I was just looking to upgrade to sense 5 for now. Is this just a matter of finding the software, putting it on int extsd and flashing from stock recovery.
If not can somebody please help me out with what this process would consist of and maybe point me in the right direction to where I can start.
Would rooting and flashing a sense 5 rom be easier from this point. because I am wanting to root and flash something soon. I am very familiar with this process but. Just not for this device. I'm new to this device so please be generous with advice and wisdom. I thank everybody for thier contributions in advance.

After you get it rooted, then I would s-off the phone and flash the 2.15 firmware because without that or the Beastmode kernel, you will have problems with reboots and signal drops if you flash a Sense 5 Rom.
The only way for you to have Sense 5 is to unlock your bootloader, at&t have not yet released a Sense 5 update. Click the link provided by Egrier, navigate to the root section, find the 3.18 root method and follow those instructions. Once your bootloader is unlocked you can install TWRP recovery. Once you have TWRP recovery installed you can install root so you can get s-off, then you can upgrade to the 2.15 firmware package, then you can flash a Sense 5 ROM. Before doing any of this you should do a bunch of research, you may be familiar with unlocking/rooting but each device has its own quirks and you should be aware of this before beginning.
PS. In future please post questions in the Q&A section found here:
