context_page_description: The HTC Sensation is a smartphone designed and manufactured by HTC Corporation that runs the Android 2.3 Gingerbread software stock. Officially announced by HTC on April 12, 2011, the HTC Sensation was launched by Vodafone in key European markets including the United Kingdom on May 19, 2011 and by T-Mobile in the United States on June 12, 2011. It was HTC's fifth flagship Android phone and the first HTC phone to support the HTC Sense 3.0 user interface. At the time of its release, the Sensation XE was the world's fastest Android phone.
context_section_description: The device shipped with Android 2.3.3 and includes HTC Sense 3.0 UI.
  The device was part of a new generation of HTC phones that have a signed bootloader. As a consequence, the phones were originally not rootable, thus denying users administrative rights to their phones. Despite originally being shipped with the locked bootloader, it was announced on July 10, 2011 that HTC Sensation devices would have their bootloaders unlocked due to overwhelming customer feedback since the device's initial release.
  On July 29, 2011, a tool named Revolutionary was released by AlphaRevX and unrevoked which enabled S-off, and subsequently, allowed permanent root.
  In August 2011, HTC officially allowed unlocking HTC Sensation bootloaders at the HTCdev.com website.
