if you have hboot version 1.27.0000 then u will have to wait. JuopunutBear has made a S-OFF version you can go and check it in the Developement section!

If you have the S-offable version, please refer to my signature below for a Noob's guide to rooting and flashing ROM cheers~

It's 1.27, does that mean it is unrootable ATM?

Only way is to downgrade using an RUU to gingerbread, root it, flash custom recovery, use voodoo ota rootkeeper, flash stock recovery, update to ICS again. Restore root using voodoo, flash custom recovery and flash the rooting tools in Mike's stock Rom thread.
No direct way to root it yet though.

sensation help ???????? :)

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.

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.

Hello everyone.
I've been reading this forum for a while now but never had the guts to root my phone and install custom ROMs. Now I'm tempted to root and play around with my new sensation xe. Please tell me where should I begin from, and kindly note that I'm a total newb in this matter. Links to basics of rooting are most welcomed, and specially what I need to root a Sensation XE. Also I need ROMs with beats audio.
Many thanks in advance.

Just so you will know any Gingerbread ROM (Android 2.3.0 to 2.4.3) can have Beats Audio installed on it if it does not have it. Go to here to check out the thread. It is a recovery flashable .zip file. It currently does not work on any ICS ROMs (Android 4.0.0 or higher).
If you get rooted....and are interested a Sense 4.0 rom I strongly suggest Ordroid its very stable now and beats finally works like a charm....be warned Shinzlon is a monster when it comes to updates so you will be wiping and flashing new versions every other day as he perfects it
Make sure you read a lot because you need a different firmware to flash ICS roms....

Alright. I got s-off'd using revolutionary and successfuly backed up my data using recovery.
I want to install ARHD ICS ROMs but it seems I need a firmware upgrade. Some posts say I have to use 4Ext recovery to flash ARHD. Is that possible to flash ARHD with current recovery I have?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA
Both are correct. 4ext recovery can be downloaded from the market and flashed that way. Also did you flash the superuser.zip after you S-off'd?? Might be worth doing that. It's also worth super CIDing too. Its fairly straight forward and is done via fastboot. There are plenty of guides on how to do it. Once that is done download the new firmware from the ARHD thread along with the superwipe script and the rom itself. Put these on the root of your SD card. Boot your phone into recovery and it should automatically flash the new firmware. Afterwards power off and remove the SD card. Put it in your PC and remove the firmware from your SD card otherwise you will get bootloops. flash the superwipe script then flash the ROM. Then enjoy.......

Read somewhere that ARHD ROMs install 4EXT recovery when they're flashed.
Please answer this question of mine: can I still install ICS if I don't supper cid?
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA
I dont know if ARHD flashes 4ext. Not sure they do though. Its easier just to do it first then you know its done, rather than run into problems. Its easy to install, like i mentioned it can be done from the market by just downloading the app. You have to be rooted though so, again
did you flash the Superuser.zip after you S-Off'd???
I think you can install ICS without supercid but you need to install the firmware that matches your CID. Its worth supercid though as then you can flash anything you want.

Scroll down to the common problems and questions. Read the one about root. Download that file and flash through recovery.
4ext will overwrite Cwm. You can only have 1 recovery.

No you can only have one re over at a time as the internal NAND storage only has one recovery portion. Also no custom ROME flashes a recovery with it, they justflash the system portion and the boot partition.

I just want to update to latest ARHD 6.7.2 ,XE w BA.

Or
Do I need to - superwipe, update firmware to 3.33.401 and then flash ROM?

Yes you need to super wipe before you flash 6.7.2
Just backup your apps with Titanium backup and messages with SMS Backup and Restore.

Hi,
Going from 6.6.x to 6.7.x ,you are changing bases.
You need to wipe in recovery...
Format all partitions (except sd card)
Then install new ROM.
It will work with the 3.32. firmware,but you get the new radio with 3.33 firmware.
You can get 3.33 universal firmware HERE

Could you left an information if you still believe to old firmware, because I have the same question and would like to reseive experiences.
In some cases is it better to go to next firmware, new radio better corresponding to new rom. So I am not sure to let old firmware worlk with the new rom.
Other question:
Is in the new firmware the bootloader locked ??? I hope not. So why do not upgrade to new firm ?
I found the firmware here
Many thanks for reply.

3.33 has a locked bootloader, so no do not update from 3.32.

1.17 Universal This is the original Revolutionary 1.17.1111 Firmware with a completed Gingerbread Firmware v 1.45 package (Radio 10.14.9035.01_M)
So what is universal about it?
I have added a method found by mf2112 that allows the android-info file to have a wildcard tag. So instead of having a T-Mobile file where the android-info file has every cidnum the identifier is one entry into the android-info file and it covers every possible CID that T-Mobile has.

Not sure about the other firmware but use the universal as suggested because it does NOT change the boot or lock anything, I've upgraded my self to the 3.33 universal the one that won't lock or change boot. I've had zero issues and it has been wonderful . Make sure to READ before you install to be sure your downloading the correct version. You place the file at root of sd card, boot to downloader by taking battery out put battery back in, then press volume down and power at the same time. It will recognise the pg58img file and ask to update, press power for yes. Once the update is completed and rebooted. REMOVE the pg58img file! If you don't it will want to continue to update over and over inside the downloader, so delete the file soon as your finished. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Flash the universal firmware from Kohr-Ah.
This one will not lock your bootloader.

Hi,
Yes, you can try to run 6.7.0 on 3.33 firmware.
Make a nandroid first.
The basic difference between 3.32 and 3.33 is only a newer radio.

Hi,
"To briefly explain with a somewhat-less-than-accurate analogy for the purist, the radio you can flash is like a firmware package in Windows terms, and the RIL is like a driver. It is important to match them for best results, or else poor or no reception is likely, as well as high battery drain." (Quote from HERE )
The radio controls mobile data,wifi,basically all radio signals in the phone.
A good radio/ril combination is required for good reception,and even good battery usage in the area in which you live .
Check the link above to see if you can get more information.

Hmm I followed it and managed to install an aosp rom.. however I'd like to install ViperS and that didn't work. I noticed that ViperS had all these kernel things, does that mean I need s-off to install it?

Use 4EXT Recovery then enable smart flash.
And for S-OFF I would recommend it because it will make life a lot easier
