Go to revolutionary.io and see of your hboot matches in the wiki and if it does you can get S-OFF and root

Obtain root on latest OTA with S-OFF

I'm looking to install the latest OTA whenever its released, and my question is...
If I flash the OTA with S-OFF, would I be able to simply flash the root package (taken from S-OFF guide) afterward to "perm-root" the ROM?
Also, will flashing the OTA with S-OFF cause any conflicts, such as reverting to S-ON? Or possibly brick?
Thanks in advance

I would suggest waiting for a rooted OTA to be posted here in the forum just to be on the safe side.

OTA Update To 2.3.4

So I updated my Sensation to 2.3.4 and now I'm just wondering if I have an unlocked bootloader on my phone. Did the OTA give me an advantage to go and root my Sensation?

So then how do I go about rooting it. I don't know if I have S-off or not.

Turn off phone. Hold down lower volume and press power. Then youll see your bootloader screen and look and see if it says s-on.

Mine says locked, so yeah the OTA does not unlock your phone.
Do NOT unlock it. You warrenty will be void and HTC will know.
S OFF, flash CWM, then flash su

All he was asking was if the ota gave him s-off. Thats not gonna happen. The only way your gonna inform htc that you soff is buy them through there website. Just soff through alpharev and root flash radio update and youll be good. There is the direction thread in stickies ok. Kids these days

Q how do you flash a hboot from a ruu zip file??

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
You would first have to extract the rom from the ruu file and then extract the hboot from that. Idk if it is in a flashable form tho...

Got to ask, why would you want to ?
Because I am trying to send the phone back to HTC. When I rooted the phone is used the revolutionary method. Now after installing the stock Ruu and thanks using the phone back to s-on it says locked in bright pink letters. After reading the forums it says i have to flash the stock hboot from the stock RUu
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
wouldn't just running your stock ruu flash everything back to how it was? hboot and all
I have tried that it did until I updated the ota then now it says locked in the pink lettering and the hboot is 1.7.000

You can't flash Rom with s-on you need to run ruu from pc to revert back to normal provide some more information about ur phone.

It is h-boot 1.18.000 CID Telstra001. I tried to install the Telstra stock Ruu back on but it said modle id incorrect.

Is there a way to flash Rom similar to My EVO 3d with s-on ie, flash boot.IMG thru fastboot and then flash rom?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Revolutionary will definitely work with ur hboot you can see I have same hboot I got soff via revolutionary. There r chances u get error msg. Try to boot ur phone and pc reconnect it will work. Best thing I suggest get soff first rather then messing around.

I tried about 4 times with revolutionary do you think I might need to make a gold card to prevent it checking Cid?

U don't need gold card for sensation.
