Just started learning rooting about few days ago, I'm planning to root my Sensation 4G this week. I have decided to use the Android Revolution HD as my custom rom. But when I went to download it, there was 3 versions of it. Android Revolution HD 6.7.2, Android Revolution HD 6.7.2 XE with Beats Audio, and Android Revolution HD 1.2.2 T-Mobile. Could someone tell me the difference between those.
Also I'm kinda confused with this thread here. The part where it says "Download firmware for HTC Sensation (PG5813000, PG5811000 & PG5810000) & HTC Sensation XE (PG5813001)" with lots of downloads is where I don't get it. Do we really need to download the RUU, most video that show how to root the Sensation 4G doesn't download it, all they download is this PG58IMG.zip which I don't know what it is, could someone also explain that. Below the thread it says "2. It's recommended to flash it before flashing custom ROM based on proper RUU!" What I want to know is what is that and what good is it to flash the RUU before flashing a custom rom. Thanks.
I have the same questions. I flashed to the Revolution HD with Beats on my sensation and now the WIFI does not work and the 4G is showing as H and is very very slow. Did I do something wrong?

hello and happy new years to all.
i just bought the sensation phone from craigslist, but im trying to find out what rom was installed on it. the phone is rooted but cant tell with what? Basically im trying to install the sensation xe w/beats instead.
Can some one please help me out on this...
go to menu settings about phone. sometimes it will tell you the rom in there
otherwise if your going to flash a new rom you dont need to know what one you have. just erase it and flash a new one
how do you delete it, and by any chance, do you know the link were the sensation xe is located?
sorry...to be a pest
it really depends on what you want. if you want gingerbread or ICS or the developer. most of them come with the XE beats audio. and to do this you need to flash a recovery
read here to get a recovery and making sure you have SuperCID,Unlocked,Rooted, and clockworkmod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
then from there it depends on what kind of rom you would prefer. i would recommend Android Revolution HD for gingerbread or Virtuous Sensless for Ice Cream Sandwich.
please read the entire post in the link before trying anything.
thanks, i will try it....
Hello everyone ,my 4G is rooted but it gives me some update and i cant update it ....
what are the steps to update from
Android Ver.
2.3.4
Soft number 1.45.531.1
is it safe to update and will I be able to use the phone still rooted ...
Since you're Rooted you CANNOT do updates unless you flash stock recovery back but there's no point of updating since you can flash a Ice Cream Sandwich ROM which have much better battery,speed(on the new ones)Happy Flashing man
how to do this ???
Google "htc sensation RUU"
sent from my Sensation
ThaPirato talks about much better speed ,battery save .... this rom you suggest is not giving this options ,please point me to the best rom for speed and battery save.
what you suggest was :

tnx for reply and i wait for your answer
You should flash a bynch of roms and see what works for you. Not just what others say.

In my opinion, I would give the following ICS roms a try.
Elegancia - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429953
ARHD - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
InsertCoin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198684
I have tried all 3 and love them all, and they get regular updates. But at the end of the day, it's all down to personal opinion.
So just try a few different roms until you find one you like.
If you do a Nandroid backup (which you should always do anyway), you can always revert to your previous rom, if you don't like it.
Hey, Yesterday i rooted my HTC Desire HD with the advanced ace hack kit which first downgraded it and then hacked it ( clockwork recovery s-off etc. ) After that i started searching for a rom thats 2.3.5 ( you konw sense stuff ) I installed cyanogenmod7 the newest and its eating my nerves, Its like holind a new device, So can someone please please point me to a official stock room 2.3.5 (4,12,x) WHICH IS ROOTED. I want all those stock themes stuff menus, way of boot etc with the root as bonus. I cant deal with all the fancy themes and 2.3.7 so i just want it to be back to normal + root.

You might wanna try out Android Revolution HD, which is as close to stock as possible, with a few improvements, and a few apps by default that are not present on the stock ROM. It's the best experience with Sense I've ever had (Because I assume you miss Sense).
I was using it on my HTC Sensation, and it's a great ROM. Heard good things about InsertCoin too, but I'm not sure if it's available for your phone...
Look up Android Revolution HD for Desire HD on xda or use the link I provided to you.
Cheers!
Had to start a new thread because I cannot post where I want too yet
Just really want to thank Mike1986 & anyone else involved with the
ANDROID REVOLUTION HD 6.6.3 XE ROM, What an exellent job you have all done
I'm now rocking a Sensation with Android Revolution Hd 6.6.3 XE with Beats Audio by Mike1986 Android 4.0.3 Sense 3.6 Thanks to SebastianFM#1 for the kernal 3.0.16-v1.30.2 1.6 GHz dualcore
I was (still am ) a proper noob & it's taken me ages to get where I am now with a blinging Sensation which I've also managed to unlock & get my GiffGaff sim in I couldn't have done it without all the info you have all provided & thank you all at XDA for all your hard work. RESPECT
Now it's time to start customising my phone...
Greetings,
I have an HTC Sensation and its currently using the Revolution ROM. I want to install a stock rom that will allow me to use BeatsAudio, has the latest ICS version and Sense version. I would also like to be able to get updates from HTC directly - the way it was before I installed the custom ROM.
Can someone point me to a ROM I have to install ?
I cant seem to find what I want..
Thanks in advance.
Well to be able topping you in the right direction you need to post the following.
Are you S-off or HTC Dev unlocked?
Are you running Gingerbread or ICS right now.
Are you Super CID, and if not who is your carrier?
it is always there in Sensation Android Development section.
I am a newbie myself but I advise you to use the search button before asking next time.
