You know you're rooted when you buy a new phone, don't touch the stock rom at all, root and flash a new rom within the first 1 - 2 hours of purchase.

I have, they have a eur version which i loaded and still no change, even tried the asian version as some people were having problems with their phones losing their wi-fi and still no change. thats why i was looking for a copy of a US boot. all i did was update the boot loader and then use superoneclick it works fine and i have root and all just i get a error with my wifi and just tryin to fix it
i tried to unroot my sensation 4g but i cant get s back on so if i upgrade it will it damage my phone? and will i be able to root it again if i want to with sense 3.5.
you can just download a non stock rom with sense 3.5, since you already rooted your phone.
But I don't want to root my phone. I want to unroot it 100% so I can send it in for warranty but I still have s off for some reason I can't get that process to work when I try to turn it back on. So I just wanna know can I upgrade to 3.5 with s off? And will I be able to root again later on if I upgrade.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Then no you can't get Sense 3.5 as it's not even released yet. The custom ROMs are based on a LEAKED test RUU and chances of it actually being officially released are slim at present
As it stands, you're S-OFF so you're still not in warranty so you may as well flash a custom 3.5 ROM and be done with it
I have to send my phone in for warranty tho.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Then you need to get S-ON again
yes u can. i just did it to my HTC SENSATION XE and works superb with Insertc0in ROM.. very awesome.

This thread hurts my brain. U need to be s-on to send it in for warrenty exchange. So if your s-off they will not accept the warrenty exchange.there is no sense 3.5 for our phones officially and probably never will bbecause once we get updated to ice cream sandwich. That is going to run a new sense version 4.0

A guy told me some people have sent there's back with s off and warent caught. And he said people have bricked there phones trying to get s back on. Idle why to do its seems like a huge risk both ways. Idk wtf to do I should have never rooted my phone.

Rooting your phone is the best thing u can do for your phone.it makes all the slowness of sense go away and there are multiple guides on how to unroot and turn s back on Wich if followed correctly will not brick your phone.
sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
And who cares if you brick your phone just send it in saying it won't turn on after u had an update for it. They have no way of knowing for sure

Bro I care I don't want to brick my phone plus I just restored my sensation to stock other than still have s off and it isint laggy at all.

Mate just S-on your phone and S-off it again when you get it back, it is really easy to do.
I stayed stock but only because I aint got around to doing it yet, the battery is killing me know though, only getting half the life that I was with Mikes ROM.
Hey ya'll I'm coming from a rooted Mytouch4g that I did a warranty exchange with, got the Sensation last night I've been reading we will get the ICS update next month.

I guess it depends on your comfort zone ;-)
There are many ICS ROMs based on "leaked HTC ICS" that work well. Until the official HTC ICS comes out we don't know the delta.
I, personally, would root, but I haven't had an unrooted device in two years lol. I'm on gingerbread still, because every ICS rom I've tried hasn't been as stable or fast as my modified cm7. It's really up to you, but if you've had your last phone rooted, chances are you'll root this one too lol, it's just a matter of when. Anyway, welcome to the sensation forums and good luck

Nothing wrong with rooting, it's possible to unroot if u have to send it back for defects, why not
Thanks fellas...I guess what it is is that I didn't succeed in getting S on once I went back to stock on the mytouch before I sent them both back lol o well seems rooting is easier on this phone then the gfree method for the mytouch and that was pretty easy itself

Hello. I'm semi-bricked so I cannot use android 4.03 roms. They just don't work for me. I loved arhd 5.01 because I thought it would be awful but it isn't. It has epic speech recognition problems though, it just says unfortunately voice search has stopped. It says this for each of the voice needed applications. Does anybody have any other 4.01 roms? Preferably sense but I don't mind
You could try hypernonsense, so smooth, fast and stable.
Is it android 4.01 or gingerbread
Please stop flashing your phone until you know what you are doing. I would think after all of the trouble you had previously after flashing firmware being stuck with s on and your phone being in an unusable state you would have stopped messing with it.
Go back to stock and leave it alone. You are eventually gonna brick it. You need to do a lot of reading so you are not asking for help all day, everyday.

It's an ICS rom (4.03). Full wipe is needed.

Well im sorry but i dont want to start any arguements. I know exactly what i'm doing and why i am doing it. Android 4.01 roms are the only ones that work for me, yes i did make a fatal mistake but after much reading ( yes i did) i know what's happening
I'm furthermore 'sorry' if i have angered you experienced users but i have not really asked for help with my phone for a while now and i dont intend to. I wasn't posting this to be annoying, I just needed help finding android 4.01 roms and incase anybody else needed them.

Yes I flashed it. I think you should :
1. Flash 3.32 fw
2. Wipe data/ factory reset
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Wipe davlink cache
5.Flash virtuous 4.0.0
6. Reboot
Then if it work you can flash addons, kernels
I don't know why some may say ICS on Sensation is lagy, but I can say it is smoother. I love everything about the update. If you have a Sensation 4G, the ICS update is well worthy to update to. So, the update is not available in the US, it is worth rooting and the whole 9 yards, be advised! Getting ICS on Sensation 4G is a wreck of work, but there are a lot of helpful threads to seek into before attempting anything. I'm rooted/CID/Firmware ready to flash and I love ICS 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 Being on Sense 3.0 Gingerbread can't compare! So, thanks to all of the helpful threads and Developers and last but not least XDA!...CHEERS!

Even that wasn't hard. Unlock your bootloader which is almost fully automated, flash su, done.
arent mikes firmwares rooted already? so no worrys about that
ics wokrs like a charm
flashed it 3 days ago, my batt is at 12% !
Can only agree, even for a novice is not that hard to do at all, just have to follow guide (there are quite few around) to the letter and all goes well.
From what I've read is people who cut corners and miss important steps that often have problems with their phones.
Many thanks to everyone here on Xda for their hard work bringing us goodies!
Ok I just wanted to clear up what seems like some confusion that everyone is having. To flash the ICS and Sense 3.6 OTA file all you have to do to a stock Sensation or stock Sensation XE is to S-off your Sensation first then write Super CID to your Sensation. That is it really, you have to S-off because branded Sensations will only flash ROMs that have the correct security clearance for whatever carrier that the branded Sensation is from. You need Super CID so the OTA file will pass the cid check during the flashing process. You do not have to be rooted as being rooted has nothing to do with being able to flash a ROM.

I have not had a HTC phone in years, Mytouch 3G to be exact. I read the treads before I even think about flashing, and boy did I see a few with bricked phones soft bricked/ hard bricked, and lots that was confused. I'm a good guy and I just hate when somebody destroy something they care about. So, with that said, I hope to put precaution in those who are fast to act and slow to read. Thanks to all of you for sharing your thoughts about ICS, my feelings are likewise

Sorry, but I just had to add, coming from a Google flagship phone/dev phone without any third party security and bloatware, it was a one step thing just root and flash. So, I'm proud to say I felt like a nube coming back to HTC
