Rooting and Flashing

LaughingMoose · Aug 11, 2011

So I just picked up the Sensation. I'd like to root and flash it. But since it's so new and shiny, I'm a little worried. I've done this all before on my Vibrant and Nook, but just want to know if there are any precautions specifically for the Sensation. Also, a a nice ROM recommendation would be nice. Although I'm considering the HD Revolution 1.8.8 I saw in the other section.

Thanks guys.

totally safe to do it. just follow the instructions on the dev section and you should be set to flash roms. the revolution rom is a good one to start with, im currently using leedroid v1.3. i was worried about this too because it was my first time doing something like this, but you dont have anything to worry about

Revolutionary is an awesome tool

It's so so simple...even simpler than unlocking a Nexus One, if I remember that process correctly (fastboot oem unlock...?).

InsertCoin 2.3.4 is awesome, as is Android Revolution HD.

Rooting is cake, just read and follow directions and you'll be fine.

Are you a TMOUS user? You may want to flash a TMOUS rom to gain full data speeds. The roms mentioned are not built off TMOUS release.

This is my first android phone. And flashing really felt like piece of cake. Haven't heard of anyone bricking their phone yet so just go ahead.

Lol awesome, originally i just wanted to post sth in the revolution Rom thread. Since I don't have 10 posts and am a new user, I'll have to wait 5 minutes now, write another post and so on until I'm finally at 10 posts to comment on the newest version oh ARHD

The cake is a lie

But seriously. If you've done to it before to other devices you'll be fine, just use one of the guides in the development section.

I had a minor issue when i flashed my TMOUSA Sensation 4g, i have tried a few roms, including the stock rom. When i went S-Off and Rooted the phone never stays in Vibrate or Silent. It always reverts to some strange version of audible where some ui clicks are full volume but notifications are super quiet. Dont have 10 posts so i cant do a proper bug report
