hi everyone
recently i have bought a new sensation xl and it's updated to android 4.0.3 and htc sense 3.6
and i just want to delete the unnecessary apps build in my phone internally. so i decided to root ( i dunno what's the difference between s-off and root ) but i dun want to flash a new rom as my old phone desire s was bricked to burn the chip.
so is 4.0.3 possible to root and anyone would like to give a tutorial kindly?
Use general for questions!

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..

Hey guys,
I'm new here, but I was wondering if you could help me. My HTC Legend is still running on 2.1, and I really want froyo. I'm thinking of rooting my Legend, but I first wanted to know how hard it is to unroot my device (for the OTA from HTC) and which ROM I should pick, I'm thinking of the Cyanogen Azure but maybe you guys know a better one.
Thanks!
Should be moved to "General"

Thanks for the advice, I think I'm going to root it tomorrow
I just received an OTA for my Incredible S and I can't see anything about it online: version number 2.30.707.1 and it was about 30MB.
I didn't find any obvious change so far. And the description was something very vague about "update of applications".
Any one knows what this update was about?
Please be sense 3!
No obvious changes meant Android version is still 2.3.3 and Sense still 2.1
Sorry.
Ooh I misread your op..
I thought you said 300mb and didn't realize you already installed it.
Desire s gets sense 3 and we get shafted
Nothing here in the UK, I'm still on 2.30.405.1
Today Desire S in GB got 2.3.5 and sense 3.0
INCS should be next IMHO
That really would make this device one of the best...
Hope to get an updated gb and sense soon.

If they give desire s sense 3 and not us I'll definitely never buy another HTC phone

If you have ClockworkMod installed, the OTA will fail. You need to flash the HTC stock recovery back in order for the OTA to run and update successfully.
I'm from Australia, and keep checking every half an hour for updates. nothing yet.
Updated Mine and NO SENSE 3.0!
Disappointed with how slow HTC is dealing with updates!!!!!!! Super SLOW!
No way man...
I'd rather a Sensation over a S2 any day...
HTc sense is by far superior to Touch Wiz in my opinion and I have had phones with both so I know what i'm saying.

may i know how to do it
Edit
did it, thanks
Lots of guides in the development section. U need to download the stock HTC ROM, again found in development section, connect ur phone to ur computer via usb and put the downloaded ROM zip file onto ur sd card, then boot into recovery and flash the stock ROM on ur sd card following the on screen instructions. 4ext recovery is best to use. Format and wipe first. This will however put ur phone back to s-on. Or you could just wait for one of the many good developers here to cook a new ROM based on the latest release, undoubtedly better. All the guides take u through it step-by-step though.
Good luck

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.

Ok well first you'll have to unlock the bootloader via HTC method. After that you can use hansons tollkit in the development section to flash the recovery. After you have to flash superuser or supersu l (which ever you prefer). Then you can flash the rom and its boot.IMG, if you decide to stay S-On.
