Search the development forum for a guide to S-OFF, ROOT, SUPER CID.
You basically need to install a custom recovery and then install superuser. (Search the thread for superuser 3.0.7)
There is now also aparrently a way to unlock 1.27 hboot completely! (I haven't tested it personally but others have reported success!).
Hope this helps

Hi everyone!
Sorry for my bad english, i've a big problem, i've an HTC Sensation XE with FW 3.33.401, Hboot 1.29 (HTCDev unlocked) S-ON, rooted with also CWM and a custom ROM.

you can flash also the rooted stock ics rom in order to S-OFF
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529941 (2nd post for XE)
but because you are S-ON use 4ext recovery to flash the rom
and before flashing enable smartflash from 4ext
if you still want RUU see here

you have 2 options:
1)using htcdev method to unlock the bootloader and root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
after unlocking the bootloader flash this zip from recovery to root
http://download.chainfire.eu/333/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.34.zip
2)use juopunutbear method to S-OFF and root the device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
the difference between S-ON and S-OFF
with S-OFF you are fully unlocked(means that you can flash also firmwares,radios,rils which on S-ON you can't)
with S-ON you are limited only for flashing custom roms anf kernels
what is Hboot?
Mostly i hearing in threads about Hboot,what's that thing,how do i know of what my device in hboot version ?
===========
How do i unlock my bootloader on Htcdev site,my device version is carrier-free(aka sim-free).

switch off the device
remove and insert the battery
then press and hold together power button and volume down until it gets you to the bootloader screen
there you will see also your hboot version
unlocking bootloader and carrier free are different things
Thanks.
By the way,does all these methods are safe to do ? (Hboot,root,bootloader etc)
PS: getting scary to being doing these methods

basically it has the same steps for S-OFF and unlock bootloader
so you can use that too
so i need to do is to first unlock bootloader(through Htcdev site).Flash any custom recovery and then root the device or I need to S-off the device too to get a root?
PS:
S-Off requires wire-trick which is like a operation of my device. :silly:

there is no need to S-OFF for root too
for root you can choose either htcdev site or S-OFF method

Follow this till you have a custom recovery with smartflash on.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
Then copy any zip to sdcard, boot into recovery, flash.
If you get stuck in a boot loop, extract boot.img from your custom rom and use fastboot flash boot boot.img
I recommend that you do not soff or flash radios till you feel comfortable.
Happy to help.

Hey all,
I have just got my hands on a HTC Sensation and plan to root it but many of the guides I have seen require S-OFF.
When I look into gaining S-OFF, the guides often tell me I need to be rooted.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?
My HBOOT is 1.27.000
Many thanks

Use this and only unlock bootloader ,install 4ext recovery and root your phone ....[ All included here[LINK]
No need to S-OFF you can still flash custom rom with S-ON..
I said it because S-OFF with Hboot 1.27 is difficult(wire trick) and you are new to this ...
Ta!

you most likely cant unlock the bootloader and gain S-off without HTCDEV. very rarely is there any unoffical s-off programs.
