Want to install custom rom, need some help... - HTC Sensation

I would like to install another Rom, but not sure what I have to do first and how...? How to unlock, root and s-off my sensation xe? Found a lot of tutorials, but some were different and I'm new to this, don't want to brick my phone.
Have hboot 1.29.
Any ideas?

There is a lot of insanely useful info here on XDA already regarding this topic.
I'd suggest as others have mentioned already... Research, followed by some research, and lastly, don't forget to research.
Make a bookmark folder and drop every relevant thread in there, so it's all neatly stored for future.. Umm.. Research!

(Q)HTC Sensation XE Roms?

Hi this is my first thread so hi everyone. This question has probably been asked before but I couldnt find it.
I have a HTC sensation XE on the way to me. Is there a list of Roms for this phone or will any HTC Sensation Rom work with the XE?
Thanks in advance for the replys.

If you want to flash ROMs,you should do that.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
I don't know if it's really necessary to be Supercid, i have Cid HTC_102 and all roms i've tested so far (ARHD, Insert Coin, Elegancia, Virtuous Inquisition) are working.
First let's talk about what a "CID" is in the first place. CID, as best I can tell, stands for "Carrier IDentification" and it's a little number that restricts which software can be installed on a phone. The CID determines for example, that only an officially-signed T-Mobile radio can be installed on a T-Mobile phone. And it's why you can't flash a Vodafone ROM onto a Bell Desire Z.
It may be helpful to think of the CID as a kind of "region coding" like you find on DVDs, where a North American DVD can't be played in a European player. But if you hack your DVD player, you could switch it from a European player to a North American one. Or you might even hack it to play both.
You can do the same with phones. SuperCID is, as the name implies, a universal CID where the phone will accept any kind of firmware image from anyone.

Using a stock RUU will get you back to stock and aslong as you don't root it when its back to stock you should be able to get HTC updates. There should be threads all over the place on how to safely install stock RUU and there is a thread full of RUU's in the development section. Just please please please research the correct procedure and make sure you get the right RUU I would love to be of more assisstance but its getting late here and got to be up early. But I'm sure if you look it up and make sure you research properly you should be fine

Or..... If you made a backup of your stock Rom before you flashed a custom rom. Just make sure you're on the sane firmware as stock and restore it. But if your rooted I don't think youl get official update.

What's not working? The thread says its a European RUU so if you're not in Europe youl need to find one for your area. Then run it on your computer and follow the instructions. If you can't find one for your area/country and you want the European one use the link in cravens thread to change your CID to HTC__001 then run it on your computer.

I believe your phone has to be connected at the hboot screen to the computer when running the RUU

Just to confirm, it does not matter the state of the phone (s-off, bootloader, firmware, rom, etc), as long as supercid or cid matches, ruu will flash fine? Will it be 100% stock? Thinking about buying this phone that the last owner supposedly "screwed up on" but still goes into hboot. Beyond that, don't know anything except it's a TMO phone.
RUU will flash firmware (radio, hboot, bootloader are components?) and rom?
Will it touch s-off / unlocked bootloader / unlocked radio / cid?

[Q] sensation xe s-on, hboot 1.18

From last October xe is in my hand. Am not getting the iCS OTA update, can I get some stock update which doesn't void ma warranty. Am having s-on boot 1.18. Please suggest me a suitable Rom for iCS with sence..
As far as I understand changing the phone with a rom WILL void your warranty HOWEVER you CAN put the device back to stock if there is a warranty issue and bringing it back to stock then your warranty would be fine and back as long as the device is returned to stock.
So its kind of a price of mind to know
If you want a custom rom you can root your device using revolutionary according to your h boot that should work. S off your device then you can install your rom. Xda has guides on a step by step process to walk you through the entire process. Just use the search you will find it. I hope this helps you out. Best of luck.

Am new to android device, and with very less basics about it.
What's the s-on & s- off, am still having confusion about it
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA
If you don't want to root check your update area on your device it should be displayed in there. If its not arrived yet you will have to wait until your provider sends it out. Otherwise root soff and you can run any ics or 4.0.3 from you like. There are many different roms to choose from depending on your taste. As for stability custom roms are FAR more stable than stock rom so don't worry about that!
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
S off is security off. You can flash easier and have more ability with soff also. Your lucky your boot version is pretty straight forward. Check out the guides. Follow step by step you will be good. Revolutionary will s off for you then you root your device after. Read through the guide a couple of times. What I did was write the steps down so I didn't forget one and follow exactly.

So before flashing the Rom I must make my device to soff right. I found many Rom's with different utilities, will you suggest some of the best with stock features with iCS

for h-boot 1.18, you will need to use TacoRoot through adb to get a temporary root before using revolutionary.

The very fact that I said it works on 1.29 hboot means that someone has tested it and been successful. Look at my title, do you think I got that status by misguiding people? trust me, it works.
You wont get screenshots from it because much like thre revolutionary tool, the JuopuntBear tool changes your hboot version at the end, so you will have 1.27.1100 at the end.

Going from the latest RUU's
Normal Sensation has hboot 1.27.0000 and Sensation XE and 4G have hboot 1.29.0000
I doubt there are any significant differences between the two.

so i guess there's no need for me to worry about switching to hboot 1.29. i'm on firmware 3.33 and hboot 1.27. would it matter with future ROMs? if i stay with 1.27?

4ext recovery it's better than cwm because it has smartflash feature(has the ability to flash the boot.img of the rom for S-ON users)
actually do these steps:
put your rom in the root of sdcard
flash 4ext recovery
format all partitions except sdcard(from recovery)
enable smartflash and then flash the rom(from recovery)
