Hi guys, (possibly) noob question here, but I'm planning to get a HTC Sensation XE when it come out here.
I realize everything about the headset (other than looks and packaging) are the same as the original Sensation. The chipset are the same except clocked higher (which is probably on a software level from what I understand).
Therefore, when it comes to flashing ROMs, can I flash Sensation roms found in this forum into the Sensation XE without screwing it up?

That's not the question that was asked, and it's the same one I'm wondering. Can we (Sensation XE) users flash the ROMS from this section (Sensation ROMS) onto our phones?
There are plenty of topics around discussing whether the Sensation and the XE are identical hardware wise, but nobody has give a definitive "yes" answer yet.
Why don't you try and then report back? I'm pretty sure it will work.

I'd rather get an expert's advice than try it myself and risk screwing up the phone, I also want to keep it under warranty for now in case I have any hardware problems within the first few weeks of purchase.
I'm also interested in the answer

do be honest i dont see it being a problem since when you look at the device it has the same, hardware only differences it is the overclocked chip which i do believe could be hardware, since the software has nothing to do with it. Personally when i had other devices in the pass i have always cross software with the same make and different models and they still work. If you are in still doubt just wait for a while but right now, alot of people are just using the non xe edtion and make it a XE, person i benchmark mine via the Manufacture version and there is no differents in performance...person i say it is a gimmick. Also the headphones are not that anyway, all the headphone dont is just justify the price increase....
Answer to thread starter, No not possible. Both the Sensation and Sensation XE are two different ROM. Even a simple Battery mod for the Sensation would not work on the XE and vice versa. So I don't think it would be possible to flash a Sensation Based ROM.
However RoMS for the Sensation which are based on XE can be given a shot, and let all of us know of the out come
Okay, but before I install any custom rom, i'd have to install cwm first right? Is the steps to do so the same as an ordinary sensation?
Guys, s-off your XE, install cwm, backup, install any sensation rom, if it doesn't work restore nandroid. What's difficult about that?

Exactly, someone has to be the first. The RUU is available so going back to stock isn't an issue either
Well, as it happens, everyone wants working end result but no one is willing to contribute to it. Meh

Does the stock kernel run at 1.5GHz with custom ROMs?
I wonder if it sets frequency from CID....
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
CID is the same as other phones, e.g. unbranded is HTC__001
I'm running the Revolution HD XE Rom from Mike on my Sensation XE, works very well;-)
what about autonomy with custom rom like mike or virtuous ?
i m planning to buy one but which one have the best battery/autonmy, xe or original ?
Well , next week am planning to buy Sensation XE .
But here in XDA there are 2 forums... one for HTC Sensation and other for Sensation XL .
But there is no seperate forum for Sensation XE.
So where can i get custom rom etc for Sensation XE ?
Thanks , waiting for ur reply!
The Sensation and Sensation XE are the same device. The Sensation XE only has it's CPU clock set higher. Anything in this forum will also work with the Sensation XE.
Hopefuly custom roms of Sensation wont screw up my Sensation XE
They won't.
Just make sure to apply Super-CID to your device so all ROMs can run on your device.

Sure , hopefuly there are threads and guides to apply Super-CID in XE !!
You got your answer that you could have got from using search or simply by browsing the forum.
Therefore, thread closed
Hi there,
I just bought Sensation XE and I want to root it. But in the search engine I couldn't find any thread about Sensation XE. It's only Sensation and Sensation XL. My question is, are there any differences regarding the kernel of these models or should I just read the threads for Sensation XL in order to root my Sensation XE and install custom ROM?
Thank you in advance

You will see how to do S-OFF, Flash Recovery, etc.
Sensation/Sensation XE are the same for this matter, Sensation XL is very different though.
Im not too sure whats happened but after flashing the ICS roms my sensation XE thinks its a Sensation. In phone identity it just states sensation and the model number z710e.
IS this just due to the rom or have a messed somthing up?

It's just a line in an xml file that is displayed in settings. If you want it to say sensation xe with beats audio z715e then flash an XE Rom

Probably just a line in build.prop, which you can edit if you really want to.

That is one of three lines that need editing but the other 2 are set in /system/customize/CID/default.xml and are only loaded on first boot so really best thing to do is flash an XE ROM or a ROM that has XE support
Sorry guys i need to be sure:
that all ROMs tested on the standard HTC Sensation model will work on the "XL" model too.
Can anyone confirm that please?
They won't work
No, the Sensation XL and the normal Sensation are completely different devices. ROMs for the Sensation XE however are compatible with the normal Sensation (and the other way around).
Nope. XL ROM's are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1344
Thank you all for the prompt response!
