Noob on Sensation Xe needs help to root

As I received my brand nu Xe yesterday, I'm now on rooting it to delete unwanted apps.
I'm comming from Leo with Nand roms, where flashing was easier as rooting Android devices to me
Tried different threads, found different unanswerd questions about rooting, Hroot, S-off and stuff but to be honest, I have no clue how to do it with the XE.
I had the MAGDLR on it so flashing was like playing with toys, but now,....can't go on.
The stock rom which is on board on my TMO_DE XE is okay for me, no nned to flash another rom, but all I wanna do is to get rid of all unwanted sys app I never us.
Can anyone give me a helping hand on this?
thx in advance
P

Look on YouTube, theirs loads of videos on how to get s-off and rooting. Being the sensation XE doesn't make it any different from the original sensation just XE processors clock limit is 1.5ghz so follow guides for either

Hi there,
I just went to revolution website and followed the instructions in this topic: -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I had no issues (I didnt super-cid or whatever its called). May I also recommend you look at InsertCoin ROM V3.4.4, it is fast and causes no issues. if you want 2.3.4 Sensation XE ROM, Virtuous v2.2 is great.....I'm stuck deciding which of these two to use as my daily
Good luck

LoL,
I successfully S-Offed my Xe now and downloaded the rom manager.
so, do I still need to run busybox or something?

you don't need busy box. If you are already S off and have clock work installed. You are good to go. Get you a ROM, transfer to sd, enter recovery, and flash away.
HTC Sensation 4G

CMR says that its NOT rooted, but I did with that revolutionary tool and it also downloaded CMR, but I can't find it

You need to flash a recovery through fastboot, then flash superuser through recovery. (or just flash a new rom) to get root

Well,
I went into recovey and it installed CWR. It rebbots now and then, hopefully, I will somehow get root access. all I want to do is to delete system apps out of my stock rom

Be careful though because some apps may rely on the apps your about to delete, to function so be careful dude

If you got the custom recovery, and you are rooted, then download an app (this one),that way you can lock those apps that you don't need, so you can save some RAM, and battery.

If you're worried you're doing it wrong you might be
check out the guide in my sig. Very simplified and noobproof.

Thank you guys,
fortunatly I decided to flash a custom rom Now its rooted and I can delete the unwanted apps Damned, Xe is fast as hell. Guessed, Leo was, but now it breaks records

used the guide in the post about and it works well. here is the link again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20254365#post20254365

Wrong forum. this is the XL forum. THe XE and XL are completely different phones.
The guide for the Sensation and XE are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Best of luck.

that method not working

unfortunately, it is probably best if you ask the question in that forum though, as your question is not about sensation XL (which this forum is for) and the forum that was linked above is for SENSATION and SENSATION XE.

unfortunately in my case HTC Super tool v3 and revolutionary are not working. I am not able to S-off my HTC Sensatio XE (with beats audio) 2.3.4. I dont know what is wrong.
Is it possible that since i have downloaded the update HTC Super tool v3 is not working? also revolutionary is giving error and failed to root. Can you please help

Ya, I was hoping a dev would take this on as well. Also the HTC News app (not genie) would be good as well

HTC ereader
I now upgraded to HTC OneX
it is missing the ereader which came in by default on Sensation XE
can some one please submit the .apk
will be real thankful

E-Reader and News attached.
Don't see any reason why installing the APK's shouldn't just work unless there's some lib or something missing.

Cannot install these APKs.

heir; ststuty
Thank you for quick apk
Both are with message " X Application not Installed "
Please suggest.

You need the htc greader.so data

HTC One X eReader
So we install both greader & ereader
Please help me with the process.

Will try to load it with gnews app and post the update

Both apps are unable to to be install
do please suggest an alternative

Download the attached file and change the extension to .so
Try push the attached file to /system/lib using ADB or a File Manager in root mode and set the permissions to whatever the other files are in /system/lib.

So I need to root my phone to proceed ?

backup before new ROM

Hi, I have HTC Sensation XE with Elegancia Rom blitz 2.5 with sense 3.6.
I'm thinking about changing to Rom with Sense 4, will titanium backup save my settings, apps etc...?

Yes but is always wise to do a nandroid back up also. You can do that in 4ext recovery. Just incase something goes wrong with the flash, you can then recover whole rom. I also use Titinium backup to restore my apps+data. It works like a charm! Once you flash your Rom , simply go to play store and install titinium backup and you can restore everything you backed up to it. It's very straight forward to use. Hope this helps and happy flashing!

Go Backup and Apps2Zip are other options too that look to make the backup and restore process a little more automated. They will back up text messages and contacts too.
Its more or less a preference of which app you like using between the 3

Yea I'm doing the backup from recovery as well, it's a backup to the apps and settings or just my current rom and system files?

The nandroid backup has EVERYTHING included apps, settings, system, everything!
It's a exact copy of what you have had. Hope this helps.

I decided to stay with my current rom, Sucks I wiped before backup. Could save me lot of time. Thanks anyway guys, that was realy helpful.

what kind of bloatware is on there? IIRC, all the bloat should have been taken out (carrier apps). you could always use titanium backup and remove all the apps you dont want

I guess my definition of bloatware is different. I hav used Titanium Backup to uninstall and freeze a lot of apps. For me, those were bloating apps. But if you say it is bloatware free then I'm happy to flash the update and uninstall/freeze what I don't want. Thanks.

Took this advice and used Rom Cleaner after a fresh Rom install. Extremely happy with the results!! The only thing I've noticed missing is the ability to play a video that is posted on the live feed in the facebook app.
Trivial, I know but it was useful. Do you know which apk I can install to get this back, plz?
I used the stock list supplied with Rom Cleaner.

Hi
Tweaking the user text , takes a few goes , but once you get it right , you don't need to touch it again.
Sorry, don't know which apk that is.
You could ask in the thread.
Maybe patric will know.

You can log those in titanium backup.. Either as xml or another format
If you are unable to find it then... You can use super backup from play store
