[Q] Flash Sensation Custom Roms Steps order! - HTC Sensation

Hey guys,
After reading a lot of guides to flash a custom Rom to sensation ... i just want to to know 2 things:
First: is Recovery is mandatory? if yes.. why?
Second: i want to flash roms like ViperS rom or CM10... the steps i understood so far is :
1-S-OFF using [GUIDE] Juopunutbear S-OFF NO HTCDEV UNLOCK | ROOT (1.2x HBOOTS)--NEW: ONE CLICK ROOT
2-Flash the custom rom ... but really i don't know the exact steps to do that ....
I just want ordered guides to read to help me flash the rom.
My Sensation:
HBOOT 1.27
Software 3.33.415.51
Android version: 4.03
Best Regards,

Get s off
Install custom recovery ( must have for flashing custom rom )
Flash rom in recovery

flash rom and cid issues

hey all,
i have htc sensation with clock work mod recovery.
is it possible to flash Revolution HD 6.7.2 rom without super cid?
you must have installed 4EXT recovery in order to flash Android Revolution HD 6.7.2
see also this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Custom ROMs don't check CID, only the official RUUs do.
I am assuming you have full S-OFF and the correct firmware which will be listed in the ROMs OP.

can not boot CM9 for htc sensation xe

hi friends. I can not find a forum that fits htc sensation xe so there I ask here. when now the case. I have unlocked my htc sensation xe from htcdev.com. and would flash CyanogenMod CM9 but it insists on CM9 logo. I've tried with ext4 recovery and clockworkmod recovery. but still just the CM9 logo. what can I do. I have hboot 1.29.0000 and is in the s-on
Do you have smartflash enabled in 4ext, if not go ahead and do that. Also you're firmware is not an ics firmware, go grab firmware 3.32/3.33 and flash that.

Get the 4EXT recovery
Then go to 4EXT - tools - Enable smartflash
Then immediately flash cm9 (don't do any wipe)
Also check and read "flashing roms with SON" guide by asskickar in sensation general section

Some noob questions...

Hello first i want to thanks all the people that put hard work on the guides for S Off, Hboot, Root, Recovery, Firmwares, etc...
Im here cause im a new member and cant post reply in the development threat (were those guides are)
Im having problems with my sensation xe beats audio, my phone is used, so it came with revolutionary hboot 1.17 and an asian stock rom, but no recovery, so i download some tools in a guide and install the recovery, root, and supercid, then try to install the newest firmware 3.32 and 3.33 and the phone start to bootloop (i almost s#$t my pants) so download another firmware 3.12, the phone boots fine, go back to bootloader and it sais LOCKED y pink S Off and hboot 1.23, so i dont know what im doing wrong or is that the phone needs to be unlocked to install 3.33 firmware?
With the phone locked but with S Off and HBoot 1.23 and recovery ext4 wich roms can i install? Wanted to install elegancia but without the new firmware cant go there.... And how can i find the stock rom that im using? Is from china i think, but i speak spanish and the rom is only english mandarin and cantonese... If someone can help me thx... Please excuse my bad english...

when you flashed 3.32fw or 3.3fw then you had to install an ics or jelly bean rom
an older rom won't boot with these fw versions
if you want stock rom see here

does it say revolutionary or something else?
in any case it makes things easier
with supercid you can use any ruu.exe you want
i don't know which one is for your region but if you want to use the european one here you go
http://hotfile.com/dl/176652568/312....24A.3504.31_M_release_280871_signed.exe.html
in my opinion the device comes with custom rom and custom recovery that's why you can't do official updates
do you know if it has a custom recovery installed?

ok then
i saw that you want ARHD 7.3 ROM(custom rom)
if you still want it then:
are you rooted?
if not then use the one click root tool from here(nothing else)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
then install 4ext updater app
link in my signature
from the app install 4ext recovery
then from this thread flash 3.33 universal firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
after firmware upgrade(ics) your current rom(gingerbread) won't boot
so flash ARHD 7.3 ROM from recovery
done

[Q] Recovery for S-ON users

Good morning people, I just wanted to know that I recently bought Sensation XE, and I don't wanna get it S-off. So just please tell me that can I install TWRP touch recovery 2.6.3.0 same way or is there any other method to do this? I am not talking about custom roms, only Recovery. I know to install custom Rom I'll have to flash boot.img. I just want to know whether I could use this recovery or not. Thank you.
I suggest you to flash 4ext recovery touch lastest version.it is currently the best recovery and you can flash custom roms without s-off only you have to enable smartflash....for flashing follow this step by step guide...... forum.xda-developers.com/showthrea...ts Audio Z715e using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks
