How to ROOT my HTC Sensation XE??? - HTC Sensation

Hello to all, since there is no no section dedicated to Sensation XE, I ask you. Is there a way or in any case a guide to give ROOT permissions to Sensation XE?
Thanks, bye

Hello,
The way to accure ROOT permissions is the same for all HTC Sensation devices. Just go throught the forums and find the way you'd like to go. Its all depends on your current firmware & HBOOT version.

he can use the root tool of mine too ....if he did HTC-DEV unlock of bootloader (the second thread asks for same ...also flashing custom recovery is an extra for the second thread ..which is not required in my case )

I can recommend doing so. I've used your app for my XE too.
Works like a charm!

Hi,
HTC Sensation,Sensation XE,and Sensation 4G are all the same.
Go to settings/power ,and untick fastboot.
Power your phone off.
Power on holding volume down and power button together.
This takes you to bootloader.
There,you will see your hboot number.

there is no better thread
if you are still under warranty then follow the first guide
note: backup everything from your sdcard to pc because wire trick will wipe them all(if you follow first guide)
if you follow second guide you have to know that after unlocking bootloader it will ask you for factory reset

what's this?

Read read read read read before u try anything. Just fyi. Learn about what you doing and what it does to your phone. Learn how to recover and backup. Jumping into this game isn't easy. And could brick your phone. But for starters you need to check here revolutionary.io to unlock, root, and install recovery. Also get S-OFF aka security off. Aka locked boot loader.

As RANDYRKELLY says: First thing is to read carefully, understand and learn. Search this forum for everything about rooting, s-off and flushing ROMS. There are great step-by-step how-to's in here, so that there's no need to explain it once more in a separate thread.
You should start here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Yes, it is said to read well and understand that you want to do and unlock the boot with better revolutionary than http://htcdev.com/, good luck

Do not use the htc unlock. Will not give you read write state. U need to use revolutionary cause it roots, unlock boot loader, and installs recovery. Please don't miss lead him.

I said that after http://htcdev.com/ will not be able to flash custom kernel, and unlock a better revolutionary
your best bet is to stick to xda it has everything you need to root and flash whatever you want there are alot of threads that will explain what root off is and how to get it. it will aslo explain how to flash roms, and what that is good luck you can always post here in the q&a with any problems you have
thanks randy & kaym....
anyways its S-off...

Actually, your the one misleading people, revolutionary doesnt actually root a phone, it just gives an unlocked bootloader. Installing superuser from market is what gives apps root and a line in the build.prop file gives the user root permissions

[Q] Sensation Stock ROM on Sensation 4G is it possible ?!

Hi,
I bought HTC Sensation 4G from US 3 days ago.. The device works flawlessly.. But the problem is it does NOT support my language !
Since the International Sensation and Sensation 4G is almost identical .. My question is it possible to Flash international sensation RUU ROM on the Sensation 4G without bricking the device ?! Or doing that will brick it ?!
BTW It's S-OFF already ..
Waiting your replies ..
Thnx in advance
Since it's S-OFF, you're going to have to perform super-cid so that you can flash an international RUU. There's a stickied guide in the Android Development section that tells you how to obtain S-OFF, root, and super-cid. You might want to get another opinion, because I've never had to do it, but from what I've gathered, it's that easy.
1) S-Off and Root (Seems like it's already done, rooting isn't totally required for this)
2) Change CID to super-cid (a bunch of ones)
3) Run RUU.exe and enjoy

[Q] downgrade from hboot 1.29 to 1.18?

Hey everyone,
I have a Htc Sensation XE, with ICS (original rom) and i want to s off and root it, but the hboot is a 1.29 so the revolutionary way does not work, i know that there is a new way, the Juopunutbear one, but its seems a little hard, and to be honest i'm afraid to brick my phone, so can i just downgrade the phone ? flash any GB stock rom and use the revolutionary way to s off and root it ? if yes, how i'll do it ?
Thank you, and sorry for my bad english.

i think if you downgrade your hboot version you will brick your device
instead of juopunutbear method you can do htcdev unlock method to unlock the bootloader and then root the device
and if a flash a RUU rom, a GB one, and then do the s off and root thing with the best method i know, the revolutionary one ^^

i don't know if you can do that when you are in completely stock situation
wait for someone else to confirm it
if yes then you can do that procedure
You can't flash gb ruu, if you aren't s-off, or if you don't have supercid. Try the juopuntuBeats, is very easy and no problem. If you try it 4-5 times before running the program you can do it very fast.
EDIT: you can't brick your phone, if you do all the things that is required!!! First of all unlock the bootloader, with the htc WEB SITE and then install a recovery with the sensation toolkit and then install ROOT. Finish if you want to s-off you have to do the juopuntubear if no, you can flash rom with s-on but only with 4ext recovery
ok ok, thank you very much my friends, you have been a great advise, thank you once again.
No problem, bu remember do it slowly and keep calm

Try the juopunutbear method without htcdev unlock so you won't break your warranty! If you follow the instructions well, nothing will happen to your phone and it's not as tricky as you think

Nothin will happen, just S-OFF. Don't worry it works fine, when i do it first time i got success on the 4th try, now i can catch timing on the first attempt...so like other things it just depends on practice..

[Q] How to root and change stock rom for XE ICS

Dear All
I have sensation XE stock rom ICS 3.23.206.151 HBOOT 1.27
Need to :
1- S-OFF
2- Root
3- change the Europian stock rom to Arabic stock rom
I know how to S-OFF from HTCDev website
I have the ICS 4.0.3 Arabic stock rom (Is there Gilly Bean?)
Now what to do? I need steps with links to details
If you haven't already used the HTC Dev website, DON'T!!!!
Doing so will make this process MORE difficult, not less.
The HTC Dev website will not S-Off your device. It will only unlock part of the bootloader. You want the whole thing unlocked with true S-Off.
And it's easier to do it on the 1.27 HBoot than it used to be.
See this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
Ganeshp is a super helpful guy and pretty much any question you have will already been answered by him in that thread.
If you have already done the HTC Deve unlock, use this guide to S-Off instead...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
It's a little more complicated, but it's making up for the problems that HTC Dev causes.
One of these two guides will get you S-Off. Once you have that accomplished loading a new ROM is the easy part.
But one step at a time. Get S-Off and if you have questions on a new ROM install come abck and I'll help you with that.
Thanks, I did not do the HTCDev unlock yet
so,
1 - I will use JB TOOL to unlock (S-Off)
2 - I will use One click root tool
both from : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
Then what?

Buy the app from the Play Store. Its cheap. And it will flash the recovery for you. Plus the app is a great manager of all kinds of stuff dealing with recovery.
