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....
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
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;-)
what about autonomy with custom rom like mike or virtuous ?
i m planning to buy one but which one have the best battery/autonmy, xe or original ?
I think that is what its called is it possible to use ruu sensation xl to flash that 2.3.5 with sense 3.5 stock to tmous HTC sensation 4g? Without root? Or having to put a custom version of it?

Do not flash RUU from Sensation XL. It is different device.
BTW RUU problably won't let you do it, if you have stock ROM now
Wrong section, wrong thinking, and just in general wrong...
LOL! This has got to be one of the most funniest threads iv read in a long time'
And, if you ask, HTC Sensation XL is joke !
Front of SXL looks much better then regular Sensation.
Also, Sensation XL is 800 x 480. So wrong resolution.
Offtopic and irelevant.

short answer: No
Long answer: No, it has to be ported to it. there are similarities but that's it. Direct flashing of a sensation rom on your inspire is just a fail to boot. Needs a different kernel for it.
Ports are available for it. Try the energy 3.5 sense based ROMS. they are sensation xl ports!
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.

My 592 character worth of dilemma was enlightened by an answer w/ 105 characters. Thank you so much for your fast reply. Now I'm at ease, flashing now.
Hi all,
hope you will ignore my stupid question and try to solve my problem.
There are different models like Sensation 4G, Sensation xl, Sensation xe. I search and find some information about them like
Z710e is the International + T-MoUS version. (1700/2100/AWS)
Z710A is can run 3G on 850
Z715e is audio beats. This one is bascially the Z710e but with cosmetic differences and it runs 1.5GHz out of the box rather than the 1.2GHz on the Z710e.
I am just confuse about flashing these models. If I have rom for Z10e than can I flash that specific rom to z710A and Z715e or each model have its specific flash file?
Hope you understand what I want to say.
thanks
br
They're all the same at the core, you can flash whatever, as there is no such thing as a ROM based on a different model e.g. z10a.

Yes but this is not the case for the sensation XL!! This device has different hardware and a different kernel to ours. Safe sensation devices to "share software" is the standard sensation, the XE and the 4g tmob.

brothers thanks soo much. Its clear to me otherwise I always fear to flash these devices.:good:

Exactly this. The sensation XL is a completely different device and you shouldn't flash anything you find in the xl boards. Anything you find in the dev section here will work though.
