Hi Guys!
Im newbie on XDA and on android phones this its my fist post.
I just want update my actual rom to the last.
I want to know if i just need flash the device with the update Rom or I have to Install other programs to do that.
my Htc sensation 4G with this specification: ----------------------------
Android 4.0.3
Htc Sense 3.6
With Android Revolution H.D 6.5.4 XE by mike1986
Kernel 3.0.16-v1.30.2
baseband : 11.69.3504.00p
Build: 3.32.401.105
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
thanks!
If you're S off you download the Rom to the root of your sd card. I'm assuming you do have 4ext recovery installed already. Also assuming you have correct firmwares .3.32 or 3.33 installed already . You boot into recovery, wipe cash, wipe dalvik cash, wipe data factory reset, stay in recovery , choose install zip from sd card, scroll down find zip. After installation go to reboot. Your all set, this is how to flash with s OFF. If you're S on you will be doing it differently. See guide flashing roms with s ON. Hope this helps you out and answers your question.
Usually if it's a update to your current Rom, wipe sometimes is not necessary. Follow recommendations from the developer for the update. Wipe if he says wipe, do not if he says not necessary. Hope this helps. You should not have to download any thing else if your already running the Rom. You should be fine. Just download the update of course. Best wishes

Thanks! So helpfull.
Now how i know if my device have S off And 4ext intalled?
Sorry the question im newbie on android.
Well when you rooted your device did you s off? If you are not sure you can remove battery, put back in , press power and volume down at Same time, this will bring you to your bootloader, read the information that is on the device. It will either say soft or s on. As for 4ext recovery, you can download several ways, one of the easiest ways is through the playstore, simply download then when you open it you can install it through there.it is 3 dollars.or xda has the download for free.I highly recommend 4ext recovery. It's very simple to use and flash from! It's really the best in my opnion. So check your device to see if s on then report back please

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.

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

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
I just bought a new sensation and I want to root it.so do I go to revolutionary.com and just follow the steps?Is the stock firmware 3.32 or do I need to update it to that?after I get the s-off for security then next do I install 4 ext touch recovery?Is that just a program that I download onto my sensation?and after that's done then can I go ahead and start putting.whatever Rom I want to use on my sensation.I do want to mess up my phone,etc.could someone help me out here alittle bit.and what are some of the biggest reasons why a phone gets bricked?and is it true a phone can always be unbricked? Thanks in advance...

What is your Hboot version? First find out your Hboot version, then you
Can know exactly which method of rooting to use. Revolutionary uses specific h boot versions. So once you find that out then you can move forward using the correct guide. Hope this helps.

Thanks.after rooted how do I get 4 ext touch recovery on my phone is it just an app that I download?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
Hey, don't jump to rooting right away.
You first need to S Off or unlock your bootloader.
Here are the appropriate guides for you:
How to flash ICS 3.32 firmware | flash/update ARHD 6.6.x ICS ROM
Flashing roms with S-ON and 1.2x HBOOT
These are guides for flashing ROMs, & your Hboot version is very important to determine which method will work for you.
For now, it should be sufficient to read through the guide.
Don't try to do it right away, read first, understand & then proceed.
Thanks for the information.I have my sensation unlocked s-off.so I'm go to install 4 ext recovery app correct.

Do it through the steps mentioned in one of the 2 guides that I've linked you to.
Yes when the time comes you will really enjoy 4ext recovery. It is so nice with many features and is extremely user friendly! They also have some beautiful themes you can use on your 4ext recovery! I just flashed one yesterday called purple moon its soo nice. I think you will be very happy with 4 ext.The one I'm using is the newest version its called 2.41.
So far its been great.

What wire did you use and after you have done S-Off using that guide what is the next step before flashing a custom rom? Thanks
I'm not sure about the wire as I had a different h boot but once your s off and. Have4ext recovery installed you download the Rom to the root of the sd card, then wipe cash, wipe dalvik, wipe data factory reset (do this through 4 ext recovery)stay in recovery after you do these things chose install zip from sd card , scroll down and find the Rom then press , it will install from there. Once installed go to reboot and your done. It can take some time for the first boot. Hope this helps you!

Any co-ax cable.. In fact any insulated wire which is a good conductor would do.. But insulation is important.. Except the edges..
Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
I flashed clockwork mod recovery via fast boot (you need adb installed), then flashed the ROM below, but once s-off the choice is yours. There's tutorials and step by step guides for everything which is a great help. For the wire trick I used a wire from an Ethernet cable, someone recommended it in that previous thread and it worked fine, took a couple of attempts but was fine. If there is anything else just let me know.

As realsis says wipe dalvik and cache and etc, pretty much all the ROM posts in the development threads advise what to do, I used clockwork mod but recently changed to 4ext and can recommend it also as its easier to use.
If you're unsure of the wire trick, read through ganeshp's s-off thread, he's very helpful and knowledgeable.

Hi first find out your h boot version so you can be pointed to the correct guide. Different guides for certain h boot versions. Here is how you find your version. Pull battery put battery back in and press volume down and power at the same time. Hold it there and you will see a screen pop up. Look at the top of the screen. It will tell you your h boot version. You post your h boot version. Or you can search for a guide for your specific h boot. If you can't find it we can link you to the proper guide. Hope this helps.

thanks for the reply , my hboot is 1.27.0000
what should i do ?
Hello.
So your hboot version is 1.27.0000. Means you are using Ice cream Sandwich right now..
You can do the following:
1. Unlock your bootloader
2. S-Off your phone
3. Flash a custom recovery
4. Root your phone OR Flash a Custom ROM
You can also flash a custom ROM without doing S-Off. But I'll suggest you to S-Off your phone. It's not that hard, and it'll help you in the future..
Kindly read This Guide for further details.
Good luck.

Hi!
THIS thread and THIS thread could be very useful to you. Read everything, they are excellent step by step guides. The second link is the same anasmunir gave you, if you do not want to s-off your device but want to gain root access and install custom roms, go for that. Have a look at them and if you have any question just ask. Good luck!
Thanks for the quick reply.

There is no.. Jellybean with sense 4.1
There is sense 4.1 with ics or pure jellybean based roms.. You have make your choice
As you don't know how to flash a rom.. Then
Refer guide on "flashing roms with SON" guide by asskickar.. In sensation general section.. (step 4b gives you idea on how to flash a rom properly).. And the whole guide gives you the complete process of flashing from scratch.... pretty noob proof I would say

Hello Guys!
First: Sorry for my worst english, i've learned it only from movies and games.
I dont want to post a new thread, but i cant find the answer for MY question.
I want to install Android Revolution HD for my Sensation Z710e.
My phone is: HTC Sensation Z710e
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: 11.76A.3504.00P_11.24A.3504.31_M
Kernel version: 3.0.42-MSM8660-Sense-Faux123-v009+
Cyanogenmod: CM 9.1.0-pyramid
CWM version: 5.0.2.0
I want to install ARHD, but i dont know, because i cant find any instruction, and i'm afraid that i will brick my phone.
I've found great instructions, but not for my CM9 or my kernel.
Or did i complicates too, and the install is easier than I thought?
So can i install ARHD with CM9 and these settings above, or i need to flash back the stock ICS and kernel? Or simply download ARHD files, and flash with CMW, and it works?
Please help me if you can, and i'm really sorry if someone already wrote that problem and got the correct answer.
Thank thank thank thank you!!!

S-ON or S-OFF?
also i suggest you to flash 4ext recovery.it is better than cwm
You could always flash an RUU and start from scratch. It will keep you s-off'ed if you already are, will put a matching radio and firmware. From there you can follow the instructions on the ARHD page.

don't tell me that you really start with ruu?
ruu returns your device into completely stock situation as you bought it
if you succeded with flashing a ruu then you have to flash a recovery,root the device and then choose to flash a custom rom
