Hello to all, since there is no no section dedicated to Sensation XE, I ask you. Is there a way or in any case a guide to give ROOT permissions to Sensation XE?

Thanks, bye :D

Hi There,

Here's alot of info on Temp-rooting and S-Off:

But if you only want to root your device, and no S-off, i suggest you follow the next method:

Hope it helped!
he can use the root tool of mine too ....if he did HTC-DEV unlock of bootloader ;) (the second thread asks for same ...also flashing custom recovery is an extra for the second thread ..which is not required in my case :D)

Hi,

HTC Sensation,Sensation XE,and Sensation 4G are all the same.

Go to settings/power ,and untick fastboot.
Power your phone off.
Power on holding volume down and power button together.
This takes you to bootloader.
There,you will see your hboot number.

:)

Which one is better??I'm noob about HTC because my friend just want to root and swap or increase RAM to his HTC actually. If you can help, which one is better to him root and increase RAM?
there is no better thread
if you are still under warranty then follow the first guide
note: backup everything from your sdcard to pc because wire trick will wipe them all(if you follow first guide)
if you follow second guide you have to know that after unlocking bootloader it will ask you for factory reset

with both guides you can keep stock rom
since the device is under warranty i suggest to use the S-OFF guide

May I know if it helps a lot after rooting HTC Sensation XE? Wanted to try to root mine but I'm afraid of it doesn't help much and I need to store everything in the phone somewhere else, taking a lot of time. Current XE is very lag and slow.
