Hi,
I was wondering if the rooting process for the HTC Sensation XL is the same as that of the HTC Sensation? If not, is there anyone who could help me get the XL rooted?
Thanks,
Rolphez

We havent had any word yet, and im not willing to test if it is the same process of the Sensation, as you might brick your new phone
It is possible. Mines perm rooted. Search the forums I think its the evo3d root method. Btw bootloader needs to be unlocked.

I tried a few methods but it was the evo version that worked to permanently root mine. A lot simpler method than rooting my galaxy s2. Now we must wait for some cool custom rom! Just use the search bar and Google and I'm sure you will find a way.

HI all, long time no post! Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas & a wonderful new year!
Right, I need your help forum, I'm getting a brand spanking new HTC Sensation XE for christmas, and I want to be ready to get to work on it ASAP!
A few questions:
1) How can I backup the whole ROM in its brand new state so I can restore the original software should I need to for warranty purposes? I remember way back I was able to do this to my Desire!
2) How easy is it to root & S-off? (I've had successes in the past rooting & S-Off'ing my old Desires)
3) Please can you provide me links for the relevant pages, link to S-OFF, Root, Backup whole phone & the ROM listings please?
thanks all & I hope to hear from you all soon

I posted here as there are only 2 Sensation forums, the standard Sensation & the Sensation XL, and being as the XE is newer than the original Sensation, it should be more like the XL than XE, but yeah I shall also post there too.

Actually not, the XE is more likely to the Original Sensation as they have the same design, the only thing is different is that XE has Beats Audio and 1.5Ghz Dual Core CPU and Sensation has 1.2Ghz Dual Core CPU

its ok mate. all you need is in the sensation forum as no actual XE forum as joined with sensation. you will need to follow instructions to root the phone and visit alpha rev site to get s-off info. rooting procedure is all explained in the sensation forum. good luck mate...........
1. once recovery is flashed then can back up your rom there
2. not sure if s-off is available for XE but it is for sensation and they are very similar phones. think super cid also works for XE so can flash any stock rom if stuck
3. sensation XE forum is joint with Sensation so look in there

Xe is sensation just higher CPU clock, and beats native in the xe Rom, sensation roms work on sensation xe also. Rcmix for sensation works on sensation xe also, if you want some ice cream, sadly I have not had luck with it on xl yet, looks like we might need a kernel there

Thanks capychimp for your reply, on Christmas Day too!
To be honest, I'd rather hack away at the same software version that's already on it, which is why I asked if there was anyway to Nandroid backup the fone before its been rooted? I remember way back there was a post on how to do this with the Desire when I first got mine which actually worked!
So I still require the following information:
** links or tutorials on how to backup unrooted phone software
** links or tuts for S-OFF'ing & rooting
** link for site that hosts RUU ROMS (like shipped-roms.com for Desire)
Yeah I think thats it for now! I will be getting the phone by this Friday, so would appreciate any or all the above info ASAP!
Thanks, I know this is a big ask, and I cant wait to be dissecting Android ROM's again!

BUMP anyone pls?
As far as I know you can't get S-OFF yet. But as far as the rest of your questions go, just look in the forum all the answers are there...
Nandroid without root requires a modified recovery which we dont have so any non root backup for now could be done with Mybackup Pro or Titanium Backup
no S-Off for now
root guide & RUU are in the same forum you posted this thread ....

You are better off looking at this FORUM for the Sensation and the Sensation XE, there are more posts and Roms on there. The forum you have posted in is for a Different Model of Sensation.

I said what I did because there is a couple of posts earlier in this thread telling you that you're posting in the wrong place and you acknowledged that. Then you continued to ask for help in this thread and your questions weren't about development they were about you asking where to find the tutorials for rooting, s-off etc which should've been asked in the General section... I don't have a problem and I don't want any arguments, I'm just trying to keep the section clean so people can find help easily...
Schumi 01 has kindly posted the correct forum for you to post in.

Sorry, wrong link..
theres already lot of ics development for sensation u can check by going to sensation development page.
hi guys,
i just got a htc sensation xl and was looking for a vanilla stock rom for it - ie no carrier bloatware. no carrier start up screenn etc.
i have tried to search all over however i cant seem to find one. I am happy to root and try a custom rom if its better and could possibly speed the phone up a bit.
Also is there a way to remove sense? and have the look of ICS?
thanks
Should have mentioned that the phone was purchased from Vodafone Australia

This is dev thread not general or Q&A. Try WRE 1.5 as its vanilla ICS without sense. Didn't search that hard seeing we only have a handful of roms

Just one question is your phone operational, does it boot or did stuck at boot logo. And did you ever root your phone and unlock bootloader. Your error 131 ERROR[131] customer ID error, appears when you use wrong RUU files
---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------
On your picture you have image versin 1.24.720.2 that is RUU_Runnymede_hTC_Asia_India_1.24.720.2_R_Radio_20.5102...link to RUU http://www.filefactory.com/f/2c6cbf04d4909b70/

On that link you have all kind of RUU files
RE
aha . merc
im downloading this and testing ... and ... say whats happen
humm so i cant downgrade my version to older , right?
Not with RUU, i think
re
thats right
so i need to downgrade my rom ,how to do it? because 1.2X roms not rootable ./..
i need to root for change my wifi configuration .. because when i enabling this see " Unable to scan network "
confusing
Actually for root to work you must first unlock the bootloader on HTCdev site. But after some reading i found something that Vertigo said -quoting ( Unfortunately we haven't found a way to root that build number. And with us not being able to get S-OFF yet we can only flash region specific RUU's. If you can find an older build RUU from your region flash that and you should be able to root then. ) see this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538464
root for asia ruu
Hi, there is actually a root method for asian models. It works for 1.14, 1.24 and some others. This is the link, guess u can gety more info from it. It is tried and tested by various people including me and it works 100%. Im using the 3 musketeers sense 4 rom

There is not a right RUU for you unless your carrier has released one.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using Tapatalk 2
So you mean the device is CDMA and I need a very specific RUU released exclusicely by Smarton. that means chances are i will never return to my stock rom isn't it? Thanx for ur former reply.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using xda premium
No there is no CDMA sensation XL's but usually if you have a branded device, you need a carrier branded rom. Although i bought mine from 02 UK and im allowed to flash generic EU roms. So maybe you should try a generic Asia rom before anything.

Dude thnx for clearing that up for me.. I just wanna know now the region of my device.. As i mentioned earlier, it's [HTC__622] and Radio 3822.11.10.30 if this helps.

Dude thnx for ur help... After some handsome hard work i managed to return to my stock rom which is {RUU Runnymede hTC Asia HK 1.05.708.6 Radio 20.5101.30.0822 3822.10.10.12 M release 223083 signed} with CID number :[HTC__622] you know in case someone wants to know... One last thing, after i applied the s-off by fardjadb by following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680572 ,, i could only reinstall the original rom, can i install a rom from a different region by applying the s-off... or it's not possible at all?
AFAIK you can, but you have to extract the rom.zip from the RUU, then edit the android.info.txt inside the rom.zip, with your devices CID.
There is a tutorial in fardjabs thread
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using Tapatalk 2
There isn't a need to use the Rom.zip extraction then add cid to install different regions ruu. Unlimited.io s-off hboot already solved this problem.

FFS use the search button and do just a little bit of reading before asking questions like this.... Every forum I've been on has a tutorial on how to do just about anything you want to that particular phone. If you'd have looked you would have found the answer without having to post a new thread in the 'development section' and like anonymous_1997 said this is the development section, what has your post got to do with development.
Learn to post in the right section and learn to read the current threads because the answers are in there... what you have done is just plain lazy
sorry
i really did searched and i found there are root tutorial but seems no 4.0.3 case.
i afraid it'd be different to root in 4.0.3.
so sorry about this

Ics root is the most easy.. if you on 1.28 hboot.. just go to unlimited.io and flash recovery from there.. reboot to recovery.. and flash root zip from 3 musketeer thread.. or just go to chainfire website.. and it done..
