It was simple Tutorial how to Root HTC Sensation XE on official Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich ICS firmware version. HTC Sensation XE was recently updated to Android 4.0.3 ICS few weeks. Users who have updated to latest ICS firmware are reporting that they have lost the Root access. If you are going to update through OTA and want to keep root access then you must install Voodoo OTA keeper but it does not works for every phone. But there are chances that it can save you from loosing root rights. We are here to help users who have update their Sensation XE to ICS firmware and lost rooting and now they again want to root their device. This is a detailed tutorial that will guide you through the procedure to root and install ClockWorkMod recovery 5 on your Sensation XE.
Pre-Requisites:

3. Backup all essential data’s on your phone, to assure that there is no data loss during the process.

Does this work for XE with Beats Audio or just XE?
ReplyDeleteIt's the same thing!
Deleteplease I am confused here which of the zip packages do i install cos there are ARM devices column and X86 collumn to as well. I AM USING htc sensation xe with beats audio PLEASE HELP
DeleteThe sensation all in one kit is in rar format not zip....how do I go about that?
DeleteInstall winrar software from the internet. Using that application you can extract either rar or zip files.
Deleteyou need to download arm devices from here http://goo.gl/GGDVi
it works only for HTC sensation XE, not on Beats audio device.
ReplyDeleteits the same phone.
DeleteSir can you help me increase internal memory for my HTC desire please. I am not an expert
ReplyDelete@Shenoy: Do you mean to say that there is no beats audio in this? Then how come it is an official ics release for sensation xe?
ReplyDeleteAnd I would also like to know whether camera,FM,Bluetooth etc works with this rom
@Zakir we are on the way to help you but you need to root your device first then only you can uninstall some non useful apps to increase your internal memory.
ReplyDelete@sanith: There are two models in HTC sensation, one with beats audio and other is without beats audio. So this rooting article belongs to only Sensation XE users who recently updated their with official Android 4.0.3 ICS. Both devices got official ics updates recently. We are going to provide detailed tutorial for installing ICS on both devices.
follow all steps without problem. but end up root access - fail when i run at superuser. what's wrong here? not able to run titanium backup & rom manager, can't pass the root check either. after root, ramain S-ON is normal or abnormal?
ReplyDeleteWorks perfect for my HTC Sensation XL whit beats audio
ReplyDeleteI have HTC sensation XE with beats audio. Are you saying that this tutorial ain't gonna work for my phone? Pls Help.
ReplyDeletesomeone tried on HTC sensation XE with beats audio and he says it works excellent. You can also try if u want hope it works for you too.
ReplyDelete@Spencer have you boot into recovery mode?
ReplyDelete"Copy the Superuser zip file into the root directory of your phone’s SD card" so i wanted to copy but theres no root directory. do i just make a new folder or it ? help me pls tq
ReplyDeletejust copy the zip file into your SD card storage. No need to create any specific folder for that.
ReplyDeleteAfter 6 hours of sitting... finally this works for my Sensation XE Android 4.0.3 ICS. You might be worried at 1st and get frustrate but believe the answer is only the posted above , just carefully follow the instruction.
ReplyDeleteI only got stock to the TokenID for me to unlock bootloader via HTCdev , you might need to register to the site in order to start. After that I go back to the tool and
3. Get Token ID
4. Submit ID
5. Unlock Bootloader
Proceed,restart, proceed and Kaboom!!
Thank you for this useful and easy tool for rooting Android 4.0.3 ICS. HTC sensation XE firmware
I rooted my Sensation XE with beats audio (bought in NL), first updated it to the latest official OTA rom, and then began with this procedure.
ReplyDeleteIf you follow it to the letter, it will work fantasticly.
The HTCDEV site is superslow atm, please keep trying over the day.
I now have my CPU clocked to whatever I want to do, to save battery, and I can remove the shitty HTC apps.
Rooting is great!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI rooted my HTC Sensation XE with Android 4.0.1.
Now the following HTC update breaks with following output:
"ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.0.9
finding update package...
E:unknown volume for path [SDCARD:Download/OTA_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.106-3.32.401.105_R_release_266236ks29huba9vk00p1z.zip]

Installlation aborted."
Also the Google Navigation does not work anymore.
I can choose a destination but when I want to start navigation the app crashes without error message.
Do I have to remmove root access now and how would I do that?
Greets
Henrik
you can remove htc default stock apps by installing Root Uninstaller from Google Play market.
ReplyDeleteBoot into recovery takes too long. What is happening? Is it really taking a long time?
ReplyDeleteentering into flash recovery mode will take 2min i think.
ReplyDeletehelp, does this work for htc sensation xl? bcos i really wanna root my phone and google is not really helping!
ReplyDeleteNo it will not work on HTC sensation XL.
ReplyDeleteHTC Sensation XE Beats Audio with Android 4.0.3 and HTC Sense 3.6, it works great ;)
ReplyDeleteso this works on htc sensation xe with beats audio z715e?(with 4.0.3 android?)
ReplyDeleteyes it works on beats audio z715e device.
ReplyDeleteDid you check your device operates at 1.5GHz (processor frequency of the XE) and NOT at 1.2GHz (which is regular Sensation's frequency)?
DeleteSee Settings --> About --> Hardware
yeah it's runs with 1.5 GHz frequency.
Delete"5. Firstly, you should unlock the Bootloader of your HTC Sensation/ XE, from the official HTC website htcdev.com. If you have already unlocked the Bootloader then skip this step. Else visit the website, click on the option “Unlock Bootloader” and then follow the on-screen instructions followed."

ReplyDelete0\data>adb reboot bootloader
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
CreateProcess failure, error 123
* failed to start daemon *

< waiting for device >
and then nothing happens...
may be you missed installing the HTC drivers in the PC. that's the reason you getting above issue.
ReplyDeleteIt appears to have worked for me too perfectly first time.
ReplyDeleteSpend the time to read all the instructions and unlock the bootloader before you do this.
Thank you again for providing this guide
(sensation xe beats - UK version)
Worked on my HTC Sensation XE Beats Z715e!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
Guys
ReplyDeleteim facing a problem..everything went smooth untill the last step..

Press any key to continue . . ."
i even tried the volume power button but it wouldnt work..serious help needed this thing is getting on my nerves.
i think you doing wrong at step 7. Check once whether you renamed the downloaded img to CWM5827.img.
ReplyDeleteafter successful rooting do i get sense 4.0
ReplyDeleteThanks for this guide I have bookmarked it and my root process was flawless a few months ago. But is there a way to re-root for instance if I have to return for repair?
ReplyDeleteThanks
You can install HTC Sense 4.0 APK after rooting the device.
ReplyDeleteWell there will be unroot process available don't know exactly and you can also get warranty back once you install the stock rom again.
doesnt work for me, it tells me, that i have there no root :( i have sensation xe
ReplyDeleteWhen I try recovery I get a black screen with a red triangle and red exclamation point and nothing happens
ReplyDeletecan any post a video while rooting, it will be more help full
ReplyDeleteWill this work on HTC sensation XE beats audio Z715E
ReplyDeleteS-ON, HBOOT- 1.29
worked like charm for my HTC Sensation XE with beats audio, S-on and Hboot-1.29
ReplyDeletethanks.
i dont understand this step please help (Copy the Superuser zip file into the root directory of your phone’s SD card)help please !!!
ReplyDeletedownload superuser zip from the link and copy it into the phone SD card storage.
ReplyDelete@shenoy joseph or anyone else, I'm new to rooting of the sensation xe (did it with my previous htc desire) At what point is it best to make a backup, and how should I best perform the backup? Really want to try a jelly bean rom on my Sensation Xe (with beats), any advice on best rom for it?
ReplyDeletewill work with just SENSATION? or it needs to be SENSATION XE?
ReplyDeleteit works on Sensation too. Already a lot of users tried and succeed in rooting without any issues.
ReplyDeletei did first 2 steps .. but in third step i am unable to see any option to install from zip .. on the mobile recovery panel .
ReplyDeletethe reason you unable to see that option because the clockworkmod recovery doesn't installed successfully in the device. Check once again the tutorial without missing any steps.
ReplyDeleteCould you please post the process of removing ClockworkMod and re-lock the phone?
ReplyDeletemy device wont boot into recovery even If I do it manual by pressing vol down and power when starting..
ReplyDelete@Abdullah you need to press and hold Volume Down Key and Power On the device. That's it you will be automatically enter into HBoot recovery mode.
ReplyDeleteam at the clockworkcovery, while installing the zip file, it says cant open update.zip (no such file or directory) installation aborted.
ReplyDeletebut i did put the file in the sd card...why its nt reading it?
in clockworkmod recovery you need to browse and locate the zip file in the SD card.
ReplyDeleteWhen i visited the htcdev.com to unlock bootloader, i was asked to select my device. I'm using the HTC Sensation Xe with Beats Audio Z715e.
ReplyDeleteBut in the box there, there's no Sensation Xe.
I can see "Sensation (Different languages)" and "Sensation 4G".
Which one do i choose?
Another question : On the htcdev.com website there's 1 section before Unlock bootlader, it's called "OpenSense SDK", do i have to use it or i have to use only the "Unlock bootloader"?
Hello @Nayaz Select Sensation model or scroll down and choose All others supported models in HTC site. No need to open OpenSense SDK just click on Unlock bootloader and follow on-screen instructions.
ReplyDelete@shenoy joseph
ReplyDeletewould i still be able to get the official JB update for HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio z715e if i root my phone? Won't we have problems on it? they say there will be a JB update on March 2013.
anyway, super thanks on this. will give it a shot!
-- superanon
If Jelly Bean JB update is available you can install it manually by using tools. Nothing can stop you go ahead and root it. Enjoy accessing full privileges of the device.
ReplyDeleteIf you still worrying about rooting will break warranty and no more updates?
Well i have answer for this too you can remove the root access by installing the same update on the device manually. You will get warranty back and updates in the future.
It works for me untill the last step. I have sensation xe, but when i get into recovery mode, i get a red triangle, and that's it. What's going wrong?
ReplyDeleteI know already what went wrong. I didn't correctly flash my recovery. But after do it again it worked great! Thanks. Can I install a rom on the same was as superuser?
ReplyDeleteThank you. worked for me from the first time. The HtcDev site should say that you need SDK manager first:P
ReplyDeleteI followed all the steps everything went ok. But when i hold power+volume button it still says s-on
ReplyDeleteyou done rooting so it will not change. It will change to s-off when only you unlocked the bootloader.
ReplyDeleteWorked perfectly on my Sensation XE with Beats (India edition). It was very fast. Clear your cache before following the above process to ensure a clean and fast rooting process.
ReplyDeleteWorks fine on my HTC Sensation XE with beats audio
ReplyDeleteI'm at step 8 but not sure if its a problem.. the cmd says
ReplyDelete*daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037*

In htcdev, If you didn't find your specified device in the list then scroll down to end and there select All supported models option.
ReplyDeleteHi Shenoy,
ReplyDeleteI have an XE with Beats, 1.29. Will the above step work with Hboot 1.29?
If yes, after performing the above steps i will gain access to the root but my device will remian S-On?
If the device remain S-On, can i flash any custom rom?
Please advice
After rooting the device you will gain access to control the kernel and other things. Once rooting is completed the device will become S-OFF, now you can flash multiple ROM's without any problems.
DeleteI have a xe 1.29.
ReplyDeleteWill the above steps help me root? If yes, will I obtain a s-of
Yes it works on XE 1.29 firmware version. Once rooting is done it will go to S-OFF, follow the steps carefully without doing anything wrong.
DeleteHi shenoy,
DeleteI unlocked the bootloader and followed the steps mentioned above. Was able to install the drivers, recovery and super user however it still shows s-on....
Any suggestion
Sometimes it shows S-ON it doesn't matter you can flash any custom rom's on your device without any problem.
DeleteHi Shenoy,
ReplyDeleteTrying the HTC boot unlocker but it stop when i enter the token command @ waitng for device.
Any suggestions...
But the reason i need to root is to wipe the battery stats. If you have a method to perform on a stock rom it will be great.
As i have ordered an extended battery.
Have you followed on screen instruction to unlock the bootloader in htcdev.com ?
DeleteFor checking whether your device is rooted successfully or not. Go to google play store download a application called root checker. It will give you exact root status in the device.
You can enter into clockworkmod recovery if you installed it. Turn off the device, Now Press Volume Down button and Power to start the phone into Bootloader mode.
My phone is HTC Sensation, version 4.0.3
ReplyDeleteSuperuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip, can not root.
Superuser-3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip, success root.
Thank you.
thanks for the feedback it will give us more confident to root the HTC Sensation XE device.
Deleteit all went well but after flashing Cwm it get stucks on HTC logo nothing happens
ReplyDeletePlease check whether you placed the recovery cwm file in correct location?
Deletewhere can i get custom roms for the device
ReplyDeletebunch of custom roms you can find on xda developers go through this link http://goo.gl/aCbKo
DeleteWorks perfectly. thanks!
ReplyDeleteAfter doing this, I'm still on S-On and flashing roms requires me to flash the kernel after to get wifi working or get past bootloops. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteGreat post btw!
Nothing do with S-ON just you need working clockworkmod recovery for flashing rom's and kernels.One of my friend's device is also S-On he flashed a lot of roms he never get any bootloops and other wifi issues.
DeleteI did everything u said. but i'm stuck at step 7.
ReplyDeleteI renamed the file to CWM5827.img. But when i copied it to te folder, there is no file with that name so i cant replace it.
And it the all in one toolkit there are also different files.
U have cwm5827 touch and doomrecovery etc.
I only see:
4EXT
TWRP2.3.3.0
Your own recovery.
So i tried your own recovery but notting helped. when i cancelled the action it asks me to manually open a image. But i dont know which.
NOTE:
I downloaded the HTC all in one rooting kit from the link in your text. but i got the htc sensation toolkit and not the htc one. I thought it wouldnt be a problem, but maybe it is?
It wouldn't be problem for you the tool is designed to provide support for all HTC devices.
DeleteExtra info:
ReplyDeleteI have exactly the same as the screen in the link. I really would like some help.
thank u
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439
No no you dont get it....
ReplyDeleteI follow all the steps but when i come to step 7 and rename the .IMG file and copy it to the destinated folder, there is no file to replace!
So when i go back to the htc all in one toolkit there are only three options to flash recovery:
"4EXT"
"TWRP"
"Your Own Recovery"
So there is NO option to flash "CWM5827.img"
Is there anyone who knows what to do?
EXTRA INFO:
I have an HTC Sensation XE and the toolkit is voor Sensation..
Not like here on the website where te toolkit is for HTC ONE.
( I know it shouldn't matter but i think thats te case )
OK do like this copy the IMG file to destination folder which I mentioned in the article.
Deletewhen you get those three options select your own recovery and location the path, choose the IMG file which you have.
How do I unroot then?
ReplyDeleteFor unrooting the device you just reinstall the original firmware.
DeleteI can't unlock my bootloader! Help pls! I went to htc website and used the control prompt but it says that the list is too long and it's the last step already but it doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteyou got unlock bootloader code from HTC?
DeleteMy HTC Sensation XE was succesfully rooted a while ago, but in the meantime there are System software updates available. I download them and pres install, the device shuts down to install. But then the Clockworkmod thing starts up when the phone starts up and says that the installation is aborted and can't install it (the updates), and when I try to install it manually from the .zip file, the same thing happends... And then I have to reboot my system... Why is this happening???
ReplyDeleteOnce the device is root you will not update the phone. If you do the phone will no longer work. For best practice download the latest Update from the web and install it through clockworkmod.
DeleteSorry for the late response, but how do I install updates though Clockworkmod Recovery? And where can I download the latest updates for my HTC Sensation XE on the internet suitable for Clockworkmod? I'm not so familiar with Clockworkmod Recovery so...
Deleteyou can search on xda forum there you can find latest updates for specific device. Download the package and install through clockworkmod recovery.
Deleteplease help me with clockworkmod, after doing step Flash Recovery, the phone reboots and proceeds to a black display with cell phone icon with red exclamation mark.
ReplyDeleteand also i don't see this in the recovery display.
"10. In recovery mode you can see “install zip from sd card”. Select it and choose the superuser zip file which you copied earlier into phone sd card."
have you placed clockworkmod file in exact folder location which i mentioned in the post ?
DeleteI have htc sensation xe with beats audio.. i have followed all the steps as mentioned above.. when I installed superuser from recovery mode it says that your phone is rooted but when I check with root checker application it says not rooted..
ReplyDeletePlease advice the solution...
install superuser app from google play store it will give correct info whether your device is rooted or not.
DeleteThanks shenoy...I appreciate your quick reply on my query..
Deletemy phone is not rooted....can not install any rooted application.. i wants to use usb drive on my phone and also wants to use spb shell 3d... that's why wants to root my phone ...I will appreciate if you can help me to root my phone...
I have checked again it says su binary is out of date.. how to update it??
Deletewhere can get the updated binary??
you can get that from google play store.
Delete
