the thing is you could either flash sensation XE rom on top of it
or
just install this addon by mudhi (gives beats also srs,equalizer and dolby effects)
link here
EDIT: flash the non XE mod from the thread btw
PS: don't forget to hit the thanks button
by flashing xe rom on top of it, i wont have dual boot? all i want is the original xe rom back on my sensation xe if i want that do i have to root again ?
i just want the ICS sensation xe rom back on my sensation, do you also have a link to the stock xe rom?

no you wont have a dual boot but you might need to do a superwipe which is dependent on the rom
btw which ROM are you running currently ?(this would be helpful for further answers)
PS:
in most of the custom ROMS the only difference between XE and non-XE version is just beats...nothing less nothing more
so if you want just beats you can flash the mod by mudhi which ive posted earlier
ohh you want stock ruu ???
here is the link then
stock ruu's
btw sensation xe ruu is in second post
no wi want to get s-off, and my HBOOT version is 1.27 and revolutionary doesn't go above 1.17, any solutions?

Hold on, there's something I don't understand. You said that you flashed a sensation ROM on your sensation XE. By right you should haven't lost S-OFF by doing that.
i kinda flashed stockrom so i could turn s-on, so i could use the normal update to ics
i actually have a clockworkmod backup of the old version, but when i go to HBOOT and click recovery i get an image of my phone with a red traingle with an ! inside it, what does this mean? because if i connect my phone to the pc and use th SD card, the recovery is on it
the story is this way:
i rooted my phone(successfull, no custom rom) to use certain apps, later on when ICS got released in my country, i had to turn s-on to use the "legal" update. So i did that by use of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 this thread. The thread sais in step 5 to install stock-rom, i picked the normal sensation ICS rom en that is when the Hboot went to 1.27. Now i cant root it, and can't enter clockworkmod to go back to 23-01-2012
at least, i get the picture of my phone with an ! in a triangle in red

the triangle on your recovery means you have stock HTC recovery.
Flash the cmw again using PG58IMG.zip by keeping that file on root of your sdcard.
then you can use the old backup from your sdcard
then i will have hboot 1.17 again, and there is no chance of bricking?
i put the pg58img on my root file on sd, but it wont install. Is this because i use an old pg58img, if so, is there a pg58img for 1.27hboot?

your phone wont be bricked as long as you got the right PG58IMG.zip ...but im wondering whether your recovery will be updated or not..as your bootloader is S-on now (but if you failed it wont screw up your phone....just remove the zip file after you've flashed to prevent bootloops)

Hi all,
I searched everywhere and read everything about this, but it seems to be a little confusion yet
I would flash the new Sensation XE ICS RUU, but firstly I have many question:
1. I didn't do Super CID on my Sensation (regular, not XE, not 4G), must be done? I'm already S-OFF with Revolutionary.io tool and I can flash whatever ROM do I want.
2. If I doesn't like anything can I return back on 1.17.1111 HBOOT?
3. What are the requisites before flashing?
4. IT IS SAFE?
5. Anyone flashed that? Can you tell me some tips or perhaps warnings?
Sorry for being noob. I repeat: I read everything in this forum, but before flashing I want to make sure of everything twice.
Hello, I'am new in this forum: I have htc sensation xe, full originally, S-ON....ecc..
also I too am still confused:
1)Can I try the ICS Ruu with htc sensation xe S-ON?
2)If what is the procedure to do this?
Thanks in advance and sorry for being noob.

I don't think you can only "try". Maybe once you flash that RUU you can't reflash older RUUs back.
I'm not sure if you need super Cid completed. I have done it, since in the flashing forum, it is one of the steps to follow. I believe it is needed to flash rims to do with different carriers.
When you root your phone, go into clockworkmod recovery and backup your rom. The you can flash ics Tom and return to yourl original if you wish.
That is what I did. The ice roms. Are fairly laggy atm, so I revert back. Hope this helps

If you are on a Sensation (non XE) then yes you should need supercid as you are installing a rom not of your carrier. Here is the way you can test. Download it and try to flash it. It will not let you if it has a CID issue then you SuperCID.
2 - Yup just flash the hboot from an earlier rom
3 - Check this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414243
4 - Yes and no. If you mess up doing SuperCID you have a chance of bricking your phone but if you follow the instructions you should be fine.
5 - I haven't but across ARHD, Virtuous, RCMix, etc I have seen many who have and are up and running.
So I that I can try the sensation XE ICS RUU without the super-CID and with HTC sensation XE original and witouth root(S-ON)?
Then to return to the starting point (Android 2.3.4 and sense 3.0 original ) just reinstall the original RUU(RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2_release_220036_signed) from here:filefactory.com/f/c87a2330449af512/?
thanks in andvance
If you are S-ON do NOT - under ANY circumstances - flash the RUU
If you do you will NOT be able to downgrade to a previous RUU as you won't be able to S-OFF your handset. You will be stuck with it until such time as Revolutionary works with the new HBOOT (if at all)
You have been warned...

I reinstall the previous hboot and then I can not in any way to unlock your phone (S-OFF)?
So i was trying to go from a stock rom to the Android Revolution HD 4.0.3 with sense 3.6 and beats audio. So firstly I S-OFF and that worked fine. Then i downloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618 (the Firmware from 3.24.401.1 RUU rom) and then i put it on the sd, ran into hboot and then it updated my phone but then said it failed. Now it's stuck on a reboot loop. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Sorry i'm new to this phone but i have done previous hacking of a Sony Xperia X10 so i thought it was also as simple.
More information: I just got this phone and im from Australia, and i think it's on the stock gb firmware. Forgot to mention my phone is a Sensation XE

make sure to check the MD5 checksum of your firmware file...see if it matches the one provided by the uploader
a little suggestion if you decide to flash fw 3.24...try ARHD 6.2.1 it's doing fantastic on my sensation 4G

Can this fix my reboot loop problem? It just hangs on the HTC logo back and forward then repeats. However i can get into recovery.
Also when i try to step down my hboot (1.27) all i get is an error Model ID incorrect, updated fail!
Everything i try to do just resorts in a Model ID incorrect, update fail! scenario.

It hangs because you have an ICS rom installed BUT you need the new firmware for it.
It says Model ID error because you aren't SuperCID. I believe you have 2 options... 1) find a firmware that matches with your model or 2) supercid. There's also another thread that will further help you with that. I would choose to SuperCID my phone and then flash the firmware and you'll be set.

Use one of the firmwares in this thread as they do not need supercid
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Also ICS firmware will only boot with ICS roms, so install the appropriate rom afterwards.

Well if you can get into the bootloader you should be able to supercid with adb from there.
Follow the supercid instructions here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
you can also flash the testrom. the RUU i mean.
then downgrade/upgrade to the revo firmware if you really want it,
or then instal a recovery and flash another rom of choice.
everyone says the supercid is requird, this is not tru.
there is a firmware that contains multiple cid.
check your own cid and mid, if its supported, if not edit
Thanks for everyone's help the supercid worked and then i got to install recovery, but now i have a new problem. So i then installed the Android Revolution HD firmware for my device after i used super wipe and it successfully installed but now it hangs on the beats audio screen what does this mean?
Hi mate go to the market and download CID getter and open the app at the very top it will tell you your CID or model number then come back to xda developers and go to the development page there u will noonproof update click on that depending on your phone model if you have a unbranded sensation for example a Vodafone or UK version go down and download the firmware that matches the CID that u got for cid getter and download it then using es file manager go to download folder ino es file manager click on the update file and click move to then click ok turn your phone off while holding the volume button press the power button and your phone will be updated good luck mate

now I stuck in bootloader... now I just wanna install some room s-off,s-on no matter :| but I can't run recovery,
I trying this
STEP 5 - CHANGING BACK TO S-ON - PROCEED WITH CAUTION. ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO. BEWARE THERE IS A RISK OF BRICKING READ BEFORE GOING TO STEP 1.
YOU MUST Follow this correctly otherwise you could semi-brick your device (Semi bricks recovery by re-flashing RUU). If you follow it correctly YOU WILL GET S-ON SUCCESSFULLY -confirmed by other users
I cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong but i will help in every situation. 2 unrecoverable bricks so far. 1 due to not flashing RUU
First time i did this with a custom ROM installed - semi-bricked my device (couldn't boot due to security warning as S-on doesn't work with custom roms), restored it using RUU.exe
Second time after S-off i took the following steps and successfully went back to S-ON without any problems and booted up into stock rom.
Confirmed to work by several others as well as myself
1. Follow Step 4 above to get SuperCID - Skip if you already have it
2. Restore your official stock Rom: Just click here to download an Official Rom RESTORE STOCK EVEN IF YOU JUST RESTORED IT RECENTLY OR ARE ALREADY ON STOCK ROM. This is to ensure nothing gets changed in stock for S-on to be successful
So if you are already on a stock ROM or you just went back to stock ROM, i don't care, restore the stock ROM again using the RUU.exe if you don't want to be bricked!
Connect to your phone in charging mode. click the "RUU_pyramid_*****.exe" file you downloaded and follow on screen instructions.
3. Make sure when you download the RUU. download the same or similiar RUU version as your phone came with (e.g. Tmous or EU or Asian etc). As long as you install a stock rom similiar to what you had you should be ok. FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE.
4. Switch your phone on now and let it boot for the first time and just skip through the welcome screen.
5. Go back to Step 4 - SUPERCID and go through 1 to 7 to get to the fastboot bootloader. (so just do what you did before, put adb files in local disk, adb reboot bootloader etc)
6. enter the command "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3" (Thanks Dazweeja)
7. Reboot into bootloader using "fastboot reboot-bootloader" or remove & reinsert the battery and press power on while keeping hold of volume down.
8. Bootloader should now read Pyramid PVT Ship S-ON RL.
9. Remove and reinsert the battery. Press power on as normal
You should now have S-on back and you can return your device or do whatever it is covered again under warranty.
10. IF IT DOESN'T REBOOT and bootloader says ***Security Warning**
Remove and re-insert the battery and go back into bootloader and holding Volume Down +power button select fastboot
11. Run RUU_Pyramid_***.exe to reflash stock rom. (the one u just downloaded in step 1) and then reboot. It should work now
The above method works successfully. So do not under any circumstances try this without going back to stock first using Ruu.exe. and Follow the instructions correctly if you want S-on WITHOUT problems Any doubts or questions PM me and i will get back to you and help you.
Donations welcome as i had a very shaky night experimenting and bricking my device (and having a panic attack over it) to find a safe method for successfully getting S-on back for all you out there complaining about warranty.

Hi all, I have been waiting long for the official upgrade to ICS from JTC which I was over the moon when I checked software update on my phone and found it was available, I downloaded it , hit install, the phone shut down , I closed my eyes and opened them to see that the phone didn't finish the setup and Instead had the green Android man with a triangle next to it with (!) Inside , first I left it dor an hour and when nothing happened, I had to take the battery off and restarted the phone and tried it again but no luck.
My phone has the original Rom on it , not rooted , has s-off and has clockworks mod recovery on it , I even tried to install the update from recovery boot but kept coming with error and installation aborted , can anyone help me please? Much appreciated

Try this First, use 4ext recovery to format all partitions except sdcard, install stock ROM by running RUU and see if that helps, IF NOT use the below method
I got this working for me after I tried getting to stock from ICS custom rom and semi bricked my sensation, you use this at your own risk:
1. Use htc dev unlock method and then use 4ext recovery formatted all partitions except sdcard
2. Install custom rom , a 2.3.4 rom (use Android Revolution HD 3.6.13), can be downloaded from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14191938&postcount=1" as multiupload is not working so couldn't download any rom from there, so used above one
3. Reboot sensation, used revolutionary to get S-OFF
4. RUU was not flashing so do this : Relocked my phone by running "Fastboot OEM lock" with phone in fastboot USB and then reboot the phone
5. From "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193033", Used METHOD 2 - ENG HBOOT [both Flash ENG HBOOT & Download an RUU and then Flash RUU (rom.zip)]
6. Once phone boots up, run the STOCK RUU.exe as normal (required else phone would not install OTA though downloads it without problem),
7. Once done and rebooted, used commands from "http://theunlockr.com/2011/10/03/how-to-unroot-the-htc-sensation-4g/" to put S_ON back
8. Result, relocked, S-ON and on STOCK with OTA installing without problem
Please tell if this helps
Dont make it s-off just install the ota to get rid off custom recovery
Then install the OTA
ore flash Mikes FW and then his stiock ICS
and has clockworks mod recovery on it
you need only stock recovery
jast flash orginal ruu and chek for update and install it
I went back to stock GB then updated OTA I have locked hboot and 1.27 hboot but still s-off though. And I returned to stock ciD HTC__044 I'm previously supercid. I prefer to stay with my current CID while flashing Roms is it possible?

U must ulter Super CID ETC AGAIN
Can I rather download ROM Manager and install CWM from there? Or do I need to put PG5IMG to Root SD Card then Update from the Bootloader? Or either ways will work?
Currently I'm S-OFF with Locked Bootloader. Do I need to Root First? or CWM then Root?

i'd rather unlock the bootloader and install 4ext recovery through adb/fastboot. 4ext cause i see u are ARHD rom user and flash through fastboot cause it seems easier to me and i never liked ROM Manager app, CWM recovery yes, i use it on my samsung and its great tool as well.
im not sure u can replace stock recovery if bootloader is locked...
edit: u dont have to Super CID no matter what. u can install custom ROM's even with current CID, just pay attention to the version of firmware u install along with the ROM.
Do I need to install the Unlocked 3.32 firmware first? Before I install 4EXT?

Don't need the FW if you're already on ICS, just need to flash 4EXT via a PG58IMG.zip and flash the ROM
Just to give another option/way I use following method to Unlocked and Root my Sensation XE since it been S-OFF. Just give some idea.
1. Unlocked the phone using htcdev.com account since no other's method seem possible right now. But if you device already unlock you do not have to do this.
Go to hTCDEV register, click "Unlock Bootloader" and follow the instruction.
2. Install custom recovery, since htc recovery won't flash/install flashble zip correctly. For this I use "Android Recovery Manager". Reboot the phone after unlocked process. Connect the phone with usb cable. Open the Android Recovery Manager > Start > ** Download a recovery ** > HTC Sensation > ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0 (Pyramid) > follow the instruction on the software. If stuck when device reboot to flash hboot but not yet flash it because can recognised the FASTBOOT(Android Recovery Manager waiting for FASTBOOT). Take out battery, reconnect usb and boot to FASSBOOT.
3. Flash the supersu, as the Android Recovery Manager finish flash the ClockWorkMod you have to install Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed.zip. If fail retry flash 2-3 times, but I am just done 1 time, before on GB I flash two time because fail at 1st time. And now you rooted and reboot your phone.
Try at your own risk.
Summary :
Download Android Recovery Manager and Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed.zip, place the Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed.zip on sdcard. Unlock the phone on htcdev.com, install custom recovery with Android Recovery Manager and flash the supersuser.
* use Superuser version 3.0.7 because the lower version won't support ICS. Use link given and download the right version.
I am using this method on Sensation XE, so try at your own risk. I will not responsible to anything happen. And please do make sure you backup your device first.
# Just hit the thanks button so other's and I will know this method also work for you ;p

Yep, it doesn't mean anything if you're S-OFF

Yep, CID has no bearing on custom ROMs. Only on receiving OTAs from HTC
