Did you s-off your xe ? If yes is it with Revolutonary Alpharevx tool ?
Or is it factory s-off by htc ?
Thx

Oh my god , are you a girl ? or an old guy ? LOL just kidding
How can you NOT s-off your device and use your phone's true and unlimited potential ?
This is similar to Jail Breaking iPhones

Lol, mate I just came from having a HD2 and I worked that phone to max ! Hardspl, about 60 roms etc etc and dual booting wp7 and android It's only been a few days and I haven't really read up on what to do with the sensation yet. I don't know what s-off and all the other terms are yet but what are the benefits, apart from being able to change roms ?

I had HD2 and from that I had upgraded to my first Android device which was Desire HD , Android was very confusing at the beginning but later on it became understandable.
S-OFF is just like Hard SPL , once you S-OFF your device ( Security OFF) then you can easily ROOT your phone , it's the same logic as HSPL but different approach same result
Once S-OFF and rooted , you can use many other applications to take over your Sensation and use it's powers to the limits.
Try it , you will NOT regret it

Wifi error - Ordroid

Okay I have the sensation xe and I have recently flashed ordroid 9.0.0 to it. However, I get a Wifi error. I am S-ON but have manually flash my boot.img
What can I do?
Thanks!

Try flashing another kernel and using 4ext custom recovery would also help and enable smart flash that way you don't have to manually flash the boot.img

WiFi errors with S On & Unlocked is almost always a module mismatch related issue.
Read this excellent guide by trkaaa with detailed explanation of the problem:

Sensation does not update from GB with OTA

Hi !
Just bought this used Sensation XE with Gingerbread 2.3.4 and when I downloaded update to 4.0 from Software Update I am unable to install cause during installation the phone switches off and reboots to a screen with a Triangle and an Exclamation sign and a small cartoon android next to it.
After waiting for nearly 10 minutes I took out the battery and booted again and now it is running GB once again normally.
I am afraid I might damage my phone if I do again and so may have to go to HTC service center in Bangkok once again. ( I live in Bangkok )
But any advices please ? ( I downloaded once again and checked to see if I had downloaded the entire file the first time but it is the same )
Afraid I am a noob with HTC. I had a Samsung Galaxy S and I had rooted it and must have installed more then 10 ICS on it but with HTC it is not the same and more complicated though I LOVe the Sense compared to Touchwiz now !
Please help !
Thanks !

Is the phone rooted now?
It seems you got rooted rom.. Normally for the ota update to happen three conditions has to be met..
1.cid match (which is matching in your case bother wise you won't even get the update)
2.stock recovery
3.non rooted stock rom
Check whether these conditions are being met or not..

Hi,
Yep as ganeshp has said, check your phone maybe it's rooted. If no and you still have some dificulties, try to install RUU from here:
filefactory[dot]com/f/c87a2330449af512

Yes...I just discovered its rooted. ( being used had no idea )
Since It's not easy like Samsung to unroot, pls advice me what I should do ?
1. Can u advice me to unroot and HOW ? ( the instructions on web is very confusing )
2. Since It's rooted can I install custom Rom but which case do I loose the radio ?
3. To install official ics it says open Bootloader. How do I find if my Bootloader is open or not ?
4. On the white screen it says Locked on top. Does it pertains to S Off ? Do I need to open that too ? And how ?
My sincere aplogies for so many questions but I know almost nothing about HTC.
My thanks !

1.download supersu app ..there inside settings ..there is option to do permanent unroot
2.to decide you can install custom root or not ..you need to post the complete details of the bootloader ..(bootloader is the place where you went in point #4)
3.you did opened the bootloader in point #4
4.ignore the locked part ..post the next line something like "PYRAMID PVT SOFF/SON RL " (if SOFF lucky ..you are eligible to install custom roms ) and probably you are SOFF as you are rooted (unless you are SOFF or have "UNLOCKED" bootloader you cant have root ..but you have LOCKED and root ..so you are most probably soff)
confirm these ..and ill give you the proper guide based on the answers

Hi my friend,
Today unrooted my phone and installed gb stock ROM 2.3.4 in order to have company update ( or i update via ota ) but...made a stupid mistake.
I have copied and pasted my inquiry in a new thread . It's as follows :
I unrooted the sensation xe today. No experience with HTC whatsoever. By mistake installed RUU Gingerbread 2.3.4... but of Sensation instead of Sensation xe.
Now have all specs showing of Sensation like 1.2 GHZ and no Beats Audio, etc.
My question is this :
I have downloaded now ICS update RUU file ( the correct one for sensation xe ) but it says that my phone Must Be a Sensation XE and nothing else.
But after this installation of Sensation RUU , isn't my phone just Sensation now or I still can update with power off into bootloader from this ICS RUU since in reality it is a Sensation xe ?
Or do I need to install sensation xe gb first to upgrade ?
Please advice. I don't want to plug in my usb and install wrongly.
Any way out please ?
Thanks in advance.

first flash the gb sensation xe ruu ..then only on the top of that apply the sensation xe ICS OTA
but first if you got OTA (over the air update) not RUU ..then do as above
if you got ICS sensation xe RUU ..then you can ignore the current condition of the phone and can happly apply ICS xe RUU (small hint XE RUU will have _LE_ in their name)
but seeing that you were able to apply sensation RUU on sensation XE i think you are SOFF ..which makes solving problems easy

Thanks ! But during unroot , s-off is on so cannot update from RUU . The software shows a phone on left side but now it only shows an outline of phone. And does not update.
So now I have sensation xe running gb 2.3.4 with regular sensation software instead.
It's unrooted and bootloader locked and s-off on.
Pls help !
Thanks !

I didnt get you
now you have sensation xe ..and are you getting update on it ?
if so are you able to download it ?
can you post your cid and the ruu name you used for your sensation xe ?

I am unable to provide u with RUU details cause in the office now but its like this :
In the beginning I had bought this second hand sensation xe but rooted and with GB 2.3.4 which I wanted to update to 4.0
Company refused cause it was rooted which i did not realize at that time.
So, searched the net and found how to unroot which made me think that after this I will give it to company HTC to update official version.
Little did I think that on unroot my phone will then loose Beats Audio and in all respects become the first Sensation !
So now It's unrooted, s-on , locked like out of the box except with wrong software ! And I don't know if anything can be done about it !
Yes, after unroot i had downloaded Software Update from Settings and it showed me the downloaded file in a long list which then I Extracted by pressing the Menu key.
After extraction I installed by touching the file and the phone went into long reboot and back....to the same.
Hope this helps though I will send u RUU description today evening ( I am in Thailand )
Kind regards.

i dont believe it has made the phone s-on. not possible by simply fashing a ruu. please fully turn off the phone, hold down volume down + power. when bootloader boots copy everything onto a post here please.

yes post the bootloader deails as heavy_metal_man said .. but after power off remove battery ,reinsert it then do the rest as he said

Sorry. I did not explain properly.
After flashing RUU I had to go into Command prompt and type 3 commands. Can't remember now. Too complicated. This was to restore my s on from off.
Thanks !

That was the BIG mistake you did ..turning SON after SOFF (fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 command right ?) is not required at all ..unless you want to return the phone for warranty purposes..as SOFF wont hurt you anytime ..when you stay on stock (also fyi the unroot process doesnt include turning SON)
now post the complete output of this following command excluding IMEI..with phone connected from fastboot to pc (the same way you did SON using the three commands )
fastboot getvar all

Thanks
Though I do not understand this completely i will go home tonight and do my best to comply.
Thanks again.

yes you can absolutely but dont update to ICS via RUU or OTA if you want to root and install custom roms the easy way

Please, pls, can u in that case provide me links to root and recommend a stable custom ROM ?
How to instructions would be great.
I am a noob of the highest caliber when it comes to HTC.
Tried to find links to root for my phone but afraid I might mess up again.
I trust your judgement and u have been so quick on yr replies that It's so impressive and I thank u for your kind help !
Best regards

ok first soff using this guide ..only SOFF i.e step #1
then you need to follow this guide to the letter ....post #1 and post #2 (the custom rom used is close to stock and one of the most popular/stable rom)

God bless.
Thanks !
Will try when I reach home tonight.

[help] sensation xe with sensation informations and imei

Hello
I have a htc sensation xe but with a htc sensation data and informations , I do not know if this is a manufacturing error or the previous owner flashed another kernel or whatever (see photos)
installed android version is the latest available (see photos yet)
The imei under the battery is : 358313049963783; and when I do : *#06# I have : 358313043952576
Do I have to flash another kernel or something else, knowing that it is s-off?
thank you

about differents imei the only thing that i can think is probably the device has been replaced with a new motherboard

Is the IMEI the same as the one on the box?
& im guessing it just has a Regular Sensation ROM on it, not an XE ROM

Now I have installed coredroid rom; in the information of phone now the is sensation xe, but still 1.2 Ghz for processor; and when i do *"06# I still have another imei than under the battery
I think that the kernel flashed the first time is not the true
What do you think ? and what kernel you advise me?
Thank's

Last week had similar problem. I was going nuts.
I had a second hand phone. It was rooted but had sensation xe. I unrooted the phone and locked s-off.
It became sensation regular ! Went to HTC and since it was not rooted, they updated for free. I am now running Android 4.0.3

Did you try going back to Stock ROM? I would strongly recommend flashing back to the Stock Rom and then --
Enter the following line of USSD code in your Phone Dialer to get into the Diagnostic Menu
type *#*#3424#*#* and you will enter in HTC Diagnostic menu 3424 means (DIAG)
Test your Wifi and Bluetooth from there. If you are still not getting any positive results, then go the Settings > About Phone > Software update and check for any updates regarding the phone from Htc.
I faced a similar problem regarding Wifi not powering on and it turned out to be a Settings Update which broke the Wifi. I uninstalled the update and the phone worked as a charm.
Good Luck,
Ravi.

The golden pins in the back cover also need to be clean in order to Wi-Fi work.
EDIT: Make sure the golden pins & back cover are very clean, and in contact properly.
All antennas are in the back cover.
Including bluetooth.

Hi i baught a sensation cheap coz the wifi r bluetooth did not work, tried every fix, s-off, radio, firmware everything but nothing worked at all. Turned out that it was the back battery cover, there is copper looking pins on there but they aint pins, they just conductive paint and they worn through to the plastic so this is what i done, look at the pics, now i have perfect wifi and bluetooth ever since. Its worth a try

Oh so many things to try out let me try them one by one and by the way where can I see the Ruu
