Have you rooted and installed a custom recovery? If so, then you would download the rom (directly to the phone or you can copy the rom to the SD Card) and then reboot into recovery, after you've gone into recovery select "install from sd card" and then navigate to the rom .zip file.
Installing a new rom
You should download 4ext recovery, download the rom on your computer if possible and then put it onto your sd card and use 4ext recovery to make a nandroid backup of your current rom in case you want to revert to it and flash your new rom.

which one u recommend:
Android Revolution HD or Ledroid?
Virtuous. It has an advanced pull down menu and Wi-Fi calling. But if it I must choose between those two I'd say LeeDroid. Used it for a bit before switching to Virtuous because I really needed those extra options in the pull down.
Virtuous is avaiable for HTC sensation?
+1 for virtuous. I'm running v1.0.1 and its very fast and stable. Can oc up to 1.8 ghz but its really unnecessary because this rom us perfectly smooth.

anyone else? can compare what have and dont have...
one more question, when u do FUll WIPE it will erase everything. now if we want to restore new rom we must turn on the phone and than put the .zip to the sd card than bot again and restore so my question is is there any method to do full wipe without removing .zip rom!?

Your SD Card doesn't need to be partitioned for a Sensation. But a wipe doesn't format your partition unless you specifically select it.
I'm on CWM right now...I just got done completely wiping the phone and went to restore a backup I have and I get this error:
MD5 Mismatch!
And it won't do anything. I can't reboot the phone because I just wiped everything, so I have no where to go. Please help!
RUU?

What does that mean?
I think my only option right now is to go to the store and buy a microsd card reader so I can put a rom zip file on my sd card and then get it up and running.

You're using CWM and you don't know what an RUU is...Great.
Go flash a stock ROM via USB and that way at least you will have a ROM back.
Or, go and use the mount SD card option in CWM to mount your SD card to the PC that way. Then you can copy over a ROM zip file and flash that way.
Alright I'm downloading a stock rooted rom right now.
Any ideas what caused this problem? Only thing I can think of is I made all the backups in cwm 4.0.1.5, but I went back to 4.0.1.4 because of the charging issues, and 4.0.1.4 was the one I was using to try and restore my backups.
I just want to know for next time.
I'm pretty sure that means there was an error signing the backup.
You also didn't have to buy an SD card reader, you can mount your SD card in CWM under mounts and storage

And what exactly does that mean?
After I get this up and running I'm going to try and do a backup with 4.0.1.4 and make sure it works with that version.
Whew, back up and running on stock rooted rom.
I've found a lot of threads, but I need some pointed help up here. I just got my Sensation XE and like to root this device. But after the Revolutionary tool It got S-OFF but whenever it's getting into the HBOOT it likes to update (parse) the SD ZIP.
Can someone help me out how I can get into Recovery mode without getting the update question every time I get into HBOOT?
Hello,
you simply need to remove the zip file or rename its extension.
Tell me if I'm wrong, but once you're S-OFF you have to install Rom Manager that will download and flash the ClockworkMod Recovery for you.
Hope this helps
You're right... I just found out that it was searching the zip files and deleted the file! Stupid of Me...
I'll see if I can find a nice HTC Sensation Rom for the XE.
Thnxz

I got the same problem except i got a rom i cant use with the one i just installed, i need to get into recovery to install the new rom or my phone wont boot.. How do i get around to delete/rename the .zip?
Use a card reader and a SD card adaptor to delete/rename it with your computer.
Or take the SD card out and try to boot to Hboot, once in Hboot put the SD card back in and then select recovery. You can either just flash your ROM then or use the USB mass storage mode in recovery to delete/rename the file.

If you are comfortable with computers and software then read up on rooting your phone and installing custom roms. There is a lot one should know before going down this path so that is why people will just tell you to read and learn.
Are you rooted? If so, download the zip and put it in the root folder of your SD Card. Go into recovery and do a full wipe and install the zip.
If your not rooted, use Ace Advanced Hack Kit and follow the effen manual. Then download the from and put it on the SD card then enter recovery and wipe to factory and then install from the SD card.

Hi,
I use ES File Explorer.
When I long press a file/zip/download And press "Move To ",the first place it offers me is the root of my sd card.So I press OK.
When you go to recovery,install zip,choose zip,then it will take you to the root of your sd card.
If you cannot see your file/zip,then it is elsewhere.
Did you look in the "downloads" folder when you tried to install from sd card? It should be in there since you downloaded it directly on your phone. Putting your files on the root of your sd card is much easier, eliminates having to go into folders searching for the file.
I'm just learning too but I noticed my downloads went into a download folder when I download directly to my device.I have a hunch this is where yours went also. Mine automatically went into the folder. At first I could not find mine either but after looking there they were in the folder. Hope this helps you out!

Hi,
I use Maxthon browser,and it creates it's own folder(MxBrowser) on the root of my sd card .
Inside this,there is a folder called "Downloads"
Everything I download when I am using that browser goes there.
Then just use ES File Explorer as I suggested earlier.
Hey thanks a lot.I appreciate it.
