[Q] Sensation XE Stock ROM for Sensation?

Hey guys,
I have been locking for a stock ROM of the Sensation XE but all I found where custom ROMS based on the XE.
Are there any working stock Sensation XE ROMs? Couldn't find anything with the search function.

1. S-OFF
2. Super CID
3. Flash the XE RUU
You now have a 100% stock XE, albeit with 1.2GHz rather than 1.5GHz

Thanks.
The Sensation and the Sensation do have the same hardware except for the battery right?
Is it possible to clock the Sensation to 1,5GhZ?

Yep, but you need a custom kernel for it

Is there a ROM which is basically stock but has a custom kernel clocked to 1,5 GhZ?
Kind of turning the Sensation into a Sensation XE?

Yep, InsertCoin or Android Revolution HD (not the Sense 3.5 versions)
OR, my stock XE ROM + the recommended kernel

flash EddyOS stock xe Rom then just flash a different kernel over it. You cannot I don't think have pure stock and custom kernel.

Hi guys,
first of all: i am using currently Android Revolution HD 4.1.9 on my HTC Sensation.
but, i am tired of flashing custom roms and looking for the "best" rom.
Now, i guess i want backt to Stock Rom. With flashing Eddies Rom is it possible to receive OTA's in the future (because of coming ICS).
Thx for short reply...

Look the thing is, as soon as any hint of ICS ROM test or official gets leaked, I guarantee that within 2 days there will be custom ROM's so best stick to non stock for now.
To answer your question, no I don't think it possible to receive OTA updates on EddyOS

Yes, with a rooted phone you can install custom a Kernel or Rom.
Download and install ROMmanager. This will allow you to install Clockworkrecovery. Once that is installed you can download your choice of Kernel - I can personally recommend Bricked or Faux kernels - found elsewhere here on xda. Save the downloaded file to your sd card and select the Install ROM from SD card option in ROM manager.
NOTE: Before you install this, make a NAND backup - you will get prompted by Rom manager - this will allow you to restore back to your current position if you experience any problems or are unhappy with the update.

[Q] getting a sensation

hi everyone i have a wildfire atm and getting a sensation in the next few days and wanted to know a few things. i will be rooting and s off (already done this to my wildfire) butwhat i wanted to know is what is the most popular rom, atm im using cm7 latest stable on my wildfire (cant find it for the sensation) and i like it.

There are loads of sense 3.0 n 3.5 Rom they are all different in there own ways best to try a few there is 2 miui roms that I'm aware of and there also is 1/2 aosp Rom there is no cm as google not released source so waiting for source but 4.0 will prob be out shortly so up to u to decided buddy

Cm7 beta is on Sensation
No phone has proper ICS roms atm.
Apart from some SDK ports but none for Sensation.

I just got my sensation as well. S-OFF was petty easy.
I am using HD Evolution 3.6.3 and It's petty stable and fast. I just downloaded some fixes for the 4G and APM from here = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18245560&postcount=23227
Hope my post is useful.

Don't worry about S-Off or unlocking the bootloader on the Sensation. HTCdev.com has that covered for you (I'm sure you knew that).
As far as ROMs go, I currently flashed the stock ROM back, and that's what I'm using... for now.

i didnt know that my friend thanks for pointing that out to me whats next apple giving you the software to jailbreak your phone/pad .

I wouldn't use the official HTC method. Use Revolutionary. CM7 is in Alpha right now, but it's pretty stable and good enough for daily use.

Should be located in the development subsection under HTC Sensation.
If you wanna give Sense a spin, and want stability, I'd recommend trying out Pyramid 3D.

The method on HTC's site looks similar, but I haven't found any posts here referencing that site. But, I would also like to know the ans to your question, for when my phone arrives.

found the ans to my own question after a lot of digging around it dont look the the htc way fully roots the phone more like just gives you enuff permition to make apps for the phone

Hey whats up everyone? I know there are threads about this but i feel mine is specific.
So i have my sensation and tonight im gonna prepair to install ICS. Few quick questions.
1. I havnt supercid yet which isnt a problem but from my understanding if i upgrade to the 3.24 then there is no need to supercid?
2. Which ics roms have u tried that run fast/stable/ with working camera/video camera.
3. Would like an ics rom thats either stripped of sense or an AOSP build

1. You dont have to but you may have to edit the Firmware package to add your CID....all details instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
2. I am on ARHD 6.1.1 - its amazingly stable and battery is brill. Only bug effecting me is for now you cannot have apps on SD card as it cause Sense to crash. I moved mine all back to phone and have no issues. No issues at all with camera - effects also works and did not on earlier versions - but I am not a major camera user.

Hi
Gotta say I agree with everything posted in#2 - I have moved to ARHD 6.1.1 and it is smooth as butter
Everything works and it looks amazing - I had thought that Sense 3.5 was good but this latest ICS is much better.
No FC's (other than when I had apps on my SD card)
If this is what the dev's can give us with a 'test' release then the official release (once dev-d) is gonna rock!!

I think confused i am right in saying this. Without super CID you will be fine with custom roms however, if you install an un-lockable bootloader you will not, at this time, be able to downgrade again afterwards. Perhaps somebody with more knowledge would be able to clarify this.
Super CID is very simple to perform if you follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 and is easily reversable if you make a note of your original CID if you are worried about your warranty.

Do u guys suggest to just go to 3.12 or 3.24? With 3.12 u need to supercid correct?

See instructions above you dont needs supercid...but no harm by doing - supercid expands your options on ROMs, etc. Basically anything will work.
If you want lastest ICS release with Sense 3.6 you must have 3.24 - else wont work. Also 3.24 not backward compatable to GB or older ICS roms so if you want to go back to earlier Android version you will need to downgrade back to 3.12 or earlier. Not hard just the same as upgradingbut with correct firmware file.

Ok so im supercid. Have the 3.24 on root of sd card. Have super wipe script on root of sd card. Have virtuous rom on root of sd card.
Now when i go to run the super wipe it says. Install aborted. System already mounted.
My steps so far....
All files on root of sd
Take sd card out boot into bootloader. Highlight recovery. Insert sd card. Get into clockworkmod 5.0.2.0 go to flash super wipe and install aborted. Wtf?

Hi.. Just flashed my first ROM yesterday a complete NOOB but all went well, due to the good advice given in the various thread on this forum...
I'm rooted & supercid.
I also initially had problems with super wipe which i think turned out to be a non sensation version.
Not sure if its possible to tell but search the forum for a known sensation version.

Yea thanks man. Doing that now

Virtuous quattro is very nice. Glad i updated to ics.
Sent from my Virtuous Quattro A3 ICS HTC Sensation

Try out Virtuous Inquisition or Virtuous Quattro if you want Senseless ROMS. They are lso for the most part AOSP. I run them both and they are really fast. I also like the 1.5 GHz kernel. Really comes down to personal preference. People really like InsertCoin and ARHD, but they are not as fast as VIQ or VI, in my experience with them. I would also highly recommend CID, why not it is easy and everything will work.

Done all the above. Check sig

[Q] can somebody find me the correct things.

Hello, I'm kind of semi bricked and on hboot 1.23 so I can't flash any other firmware files or pretty much do anything via hboot but I can still run 3.12 firmware roms. Can anybody please find me some, any roms that run 3.12. It doesntt matter to me if they are outdated.

Here ya go buddy sense 3.0

Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using Tapatalk

No, my hboot is useless so i cant flash any of the newest 3.24 firmware roms and above because i have hboot 1.23 and its terrible and half-done. Half of the functions are missing. When trying to flash a new firmware it gets to unzipping then just immediately reboots hboot.

can somebody please find me an ics dl link fir firmware 3.12 such at arhd 6.0.0? i've searched but all of thepages just have the most recent one with a higher firmware.

If you have s off, 1.23 h boot can also run GB ROM. Try COREDROID v4 if you want ICS, it's running great for me and it works on you current h boot, also their 3.3 GB works well too none of the ICS bugs. Also look in the stickies in development section the files you want are there.

New to sensation XE

Moved from a Desire S to Sensation XE.
Now I am not a newbie when it comes to roms etc as I had ICS on my Desire and S-off etc etc.
Was wondering if its beneficial to s-off and install recovery etc?
Or is there an OTA ICS update?
Not switched on yet, still charging out of box.
o2 UK stock.

There is an ICS OTA but it's only for certain countries ATM. Seeing as you're on O2 they might take a little longer to release it with their customizations.
Rooting would be beneficial if you want ICS now IMO.

There's a plenty based on the official release that's rolling out to come countries in XE and non-XE flavours, you can flash either.

Ok, just to update.
Done the following...
1 s-off
2 installed recovery
3 rooted
4 super cid
Can i just go ahead and put roms on the root of sd card now and do same as with desire s ?

if you are planning to flash ICS based rom , you need to flash a proper firmware first
