hi, ive just done all of the above, taking my vodafone branded/locked sensation and installing a custom rom for my mum who is on 3 mobile... will this now work with her sim, or do i need to do further mods to it??
Many thanks
You can unlock the phone, there's a guide, just search for it, or if you e-mail vadafone they can unlock you device for free (if u r on contract). That's what I've done.

Hello there, I have a HTC Sensation Z710e which is from Vodafone and has all their branding and sim card locking stuff, lovely. I want to be able to take this phone and make it look like an ordinary unlocked phone so I can use whatever sim card I would like and also without the Vodafone branding on the device, I am a little scared about rooting my device and flashing new radios and ROMs A few months ago I received the update for ICS if that is of any use to anyone. If anyone has any good ideas on how I can completely make my phone completely stock it would be so appreciated.
Thank you
Jake

Hi,
The link in my signature will show you several guides to either s-off,or flash custom ROMS,whilst still s-on.
There is also a link for flashing a RUU to get stock.
Read,read read.
There's methods to unlocked your phone for free on the dev section. But your better of paying £15 to get it unlocked online. As for debranding your sensation just search xda for debranding sensation, or just root it and install a custom Rom.

Why go and pay £15 pounds when he can do it for free? After s-off he only needs to run the diagfile from the bootloader. Should give supercid as well for free and minimum hassle

Hello to all, since there is no no section dedicated to Sensation XE, I ask you. Is there a way or in any case a guide to give ROOT permissions to Sensation XE?
Thanks, bye
Hello,
The way to accure ROOT permissions is the same for all HTC Sensation devices. Just go throught the forums and find the way you'd like to go. Its all depends on your current firmware & HBOOT version.

he can use the root tool of mine too ....if he did HTC-DEV unlock of bootloader (the second thread asks for same ...also flashing custom recovery is an extra for the second thread ..which is not required in my case )
I can recommend doing so. I've used your app for my XE too.
Works like a charm!

Hi,
HTC Sensation,Sensation XE,and Sensation 4G are all the same.
Go to settings/power ,and untick fastboot.
Power your phone off.
Power on holding volume down and power button together.
This takes you to bootloader.
There,you will see your hboot number.

if you are still under warranty then follow the first guide
note: backup everything from your sdcard to pc because wire trick will wipe them all(if you follow first guide)
if you follow second guide you have to know that after unlocking bootloader it will ask you for factory reset

Hi, I want to ask if any of you guys flashing custom rom into device that still s-on but rooted. I'm doing this to my device cause its very hard to me to get the s-off. We need to do short circuit thingy I guess (HTC Sensation XE). My concern here that I'm afraid flashing custom rom to s-on device can harm or brick my device as the developer said to do so. Pls give your opinion. Thx.

OR, Is that anyway it can be lock again? Coz before this wifi thingy happen ive flash many rom & kernel. I think this cause my wifi not functioning. Sorry Im totaly lost now. Sorry also coz being noob here. My bad.
Thanks in advance. Really need a guide for solving this. FYI I got 2 Sensation XE. The other is just fine with the custom rom. But this one is gave me so much trouble.

escpecially in S-ON devices after flashing a custom rom if the smartflash feature(4ext recovery) fails(you notice that when the device is trying to boot the rom and it is bootlooping)then the only option is to flash the boot.img of the rom manually
Not true!!!

I am still S-ON and I flash whatever roms I like. It is very difficult to hard brick your phone if you're S-ON. If however you're S-OFF, you can potentially screw up your phone. So no worries about bricking if you're S-ON (unless you do something really really naughty!!!).
Hi guys,
I am sure this has been asked many times and it's very stupid question. I have reading since last three days and I am still unsure.
I got this HTC sensation from someone. It is rooted and has CWM. I am not sure if it's bootloader is unlocked or not. I assumed that if there is CWM then it must be bootloader unlocked but the attached picture confused me.
I just want to upgrade it to official ics. I tried to use this thread to upgrade but nothing happened. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
Can someone direct me to right path? Please. I will really appreciate.
I am not a noob. Just new to htc phones
Sent from my gs3 using xda app-developers app
The bootloader still locked according to the picture. So go to htcdev.com website and follow instructions to unlock it. You can upgrad to ics either through installing a custom ROM or an official RUU (Rom Update Utility). If you choose the RUU method you will loose the root and the custom recovery but will retain the unlocked bootloader and the soff status.
Read the following guides carefully to be able to upgrad your phone.

Hi,
@ Alsager:
Please stop telling people who are s-off to unlock their phones at HTC.
This is totally unnecessary and could possibly bork their phone in the future...
@ viny2cool:
You need to upgrade your firmware/radio in order to get everything working properly.
The Kohr-Ah thread that Alsager suggested is a good starting point.

Hi,
A locked bootloader will prevent the user from using certain fastboot commands.
If the user has a locked bootloader,this can be unlocked with Kohr-Ah's "HBoot 1.27.1100 Patch (Go from Hboot 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100)"
