i have a xperia pro and gnex, i knew a lil bit of other devices, except HTC
my friend has a sensation, where i gonna start?
i downloaded already
1. Sensation_All-In-One_Kit_v3.1.rar ( I somewhat know how to use it )
2 Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_7.2.zip ( Custom Rom )
is there other things to consider?
I saw alot "s-off" ang about "hboots" but the kit aint have features on them, if ill just go unlock the bootloader ang install recovery then custom rom, is it okay?
any tips?
Tips:
Check guide called "flashing roms with Son" by asskickar in sensation general section.. If possible follow that guide to the letter
Btw first tell me what is the current stock rom? Ics or GB?

Hello all!
Few questions:
1. Could any one list down What the procedures (from stock) are to boot with Custom ROM?
I had read lots of posts here, which made me much more confused thn. Sorry for being such a noob. I m not getting a clear picture of what needs to be done from start to have new custom ROM(say ICS).
2. And would my phone get FOTA updates with custom ROM?
3. List of some awesome custom ROMs? I could find loads in xda yet need the best.(Yes! it depends on person)
Thnx!!!

3 the Roms are all different and it happens do be. No one is the same. You have to choose by flashing a lot
Welcom to the forum
In the def section there is a guid to s off root and supercid
When you did that goto Mike's arhd thread in development and follow instruction for the firmware update
Choose between insercoin arhd or any Rom and flash.it
Good luck

HERE try my custom rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466917
the procedure are in there too and if u follow it precisely should be no problem
I followed the guide to S-OFF but i got "FAILED TO ROOT " message.
So I followed HTC dev steps to unlock bootloader. Now my device got unlocked yet S-ON since HTCdev procedure allows to unlock only certain features.
What to do next??
appreciate any help???
Current ROM on my device is stock v1.52.720.3 and HBOOT as 1.18.0000
I guess here is the problem, when can I expect an updated Revolutionary?

Well..I am currently using a generic (not branded) HTC Sensation with the Gingerbread 2.3.4 stock ROM. I was previously using a SE Xperia X8 so I'm quite a noob to the Sensation ..
So, I want to install a custom ROM to my phone and have been doing a lot of reading to get hold of a point from where to start. But, still I am quite confused as for what should I do prior to installing a custom ROM..For instance I can relate that for the X8, I first had to root the phone, unlock the bootloader, install a nAa kernel and finally install a custom ROM. But, even after doing a lot of reading, I still cannot find such a sequence (maybe I haven't done enough reading ) for the Sensation. I am so confused with S-On and S-Off, clockwork, unlocking and SuperCID and all those stuff .
So I would really appreciate if someone can help me out and tell me what should I do to install a custom ROM to my phone from the beginning.
P.S. - I searched for threads related to this topic but was not quite satisfied with the answers I got. That's why I thought of posting a new thread. Hope I haven't violated any thread rules.
Sorry for being such a noob
And thanks in advance!
Read the S-OFF guide in the Dev forum:

1. You shoud unlock your phone and get s-off first
2. Flash custom recovery and backup your phone data first (use custom recovery)
3. Flash adequate firmware
4. Flash the custom rom.
There are very clear guides in the Sensation android development forum. You can find enough information and files there. Good luck and enjoy your phone flashing!

Thanks guys! I'll give it a try
Just a little question, don't I have to unlock the bootloader prior to or when following these steps? or is it already included in these steps??

Hi All.
I'm an iphone hacker/Jailbreaker and i own an original iPad , iPhone 3G & an ipod touch 4.
But i lately bought an android phone (HTC Sensation XE + Beats audio) .. and yes,.. im a n00b at androids..
so i came to XDA Forum so i can have more knowledge about android ....
So . my phone was in GB , it was working perfectly . until i updated it to ICS.... Battery drains fast .... wifi is not working anymore ... when i connect to a network ... it automatically disconnects from it ..... (yes ,.. this is annoying) , but when i remove my SIM Card out of the phone ... wifi works perfectly with no problems..
So i heard about the "WiFix" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445766) which fixes this issue .. but it requires a rooted phone.
Here's my phone's details :
ICS 4.0.3
HBoot 1.27.0000
S-ON
Locked
So , i have some questions (because i don't wanna lose/brick my phone & have a try in the Android "world" , and also i'm a noob ) :
-Does Rooting affects my phone's performance / bricks it?
-If there's any rooting method available for my phone .... is rooting enough to fix this WiFi issue?
-i Heard about the "Android Revolution HD" and its battery mod....etc... but does installing/Flashing this OS to my phone is suitable for it? or just rooting it & installing the WiFix would be enough ?
Please Answer , any Help Would be Greatly appreciated .
As for rooting and performance yes rooting will affect it for the better! I was so surprised how custom roms are FAR more stable than stock! You get a smoother faster over all better experience with a custom rom. I don't regret rooting for a second. Its all about customization .you don't like something change it it gives wonderful freedom! Thanks to the developers there are so many choices to fit so many different tastes. Its wonderful.
Look in search and you will find a guide for your boot version. With your boot yes it is possible to root just a bit different from the usual way to s off.many people have been successful with the guide once you have rooted and s off if you choose you can then install a rom and mod if you like.

check the SOFF section from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716955
typically two methods
SON with HTC-dev unlock --then rom
SOFF --then rom (SOFF again two methods - with/without HTC-DEV )

to do so, you just flash a ROM through recovery. whether that be CWM (ClockWork Mod) or 4EXT touch.
pretty easy. as custom ROMs come pre-rooted, you won't need to worry about the rooting part. just the S-OFF thingy and flashing a custom recovery i previously mentioned.
Can I get a complete guide from HSPL to flashing roms from someone... or can anyone give me some links... I am new to this and very confused seeing so many processes to upgrade my phone

Step by step guides already exist in the forum, follow them carefully.
In short, you have 2 options:
Upgrade to ICS, you'll have both stock roms and custom roms with all 3d features
or
Upgradre to JB, you'll have only custom roms without almost every 3d features.
