Alright I am a noob, I have legit looked everywhere but all I have been able to do is find noobproof rooting methods and those won't work for me!! I had an LG optimus one and I rooted it simply using the app Gingerbreak, flashed a whatchamacallit recovery thingy......and installed cyanogenmod. I forget exactly what I did. See I am really new to all this. Basically can someone tell me what is so different between rooting an optimus one and a sensation? and can someone direct me to a post that DOES have a simple way to root, or at least take the time to write one here? I would appreciate it EXTREMELY MUCH.
Thanks!

I agree all you need is your hboot and serial #, the program does the rest.

So basically all I do is download the revolutionary thing, run it, and then I need clockmoderecovery right? I saw a walkthrough on how to do all that and it required me going into terminal and everything and typing in a lot of codes and whatnot...

I was like you just yesterday but lost my virginity last night ( as far as rooting goes). It's super easy to do. Check on YouTube there are vids that show you step by step how to do it. I didn't want to root my sensation before cause I didn't know anything about it. But last night I just did it and my current rom ( android revolution HD 3.6.1) is beyond amazing. People who don't root have NO idea what they're missing. It's a must. Anyway you have to use the revolutionary method to get S-off. Getting S-off doesn't mean you're rooted it "just" mean you have an unlocked boot loader and you can achieve root. But yeah check the vids on YouTube just type how to s-off and root sensation and follow the exact same step. When you're all done, check on YouTube again how to flash a rom, you will b a pro in no time!
Thanks!! yeah I did root my optimus one like I said and flashed cyanogenmod but my phone stopped receiving texts as soon as I did...I thought it was the fact that I rooted it, but in fact it was cuz I didn't pay my phone bill for two months so i was afraid of rooting after that for fear that it might happen again. But yes, so,
where does busybox and superuser fit into all of this?? I recall when i rooted my optimus one superuser appeared on my phone...and I had to download busybox separately. Is busybox necessary for flashing certain roms??

You can download both from Android Apps. Sometimes when trying to download an app (eg.Titanium Backup) it will ask if you want to load busybox or superuser. It is not very difficult.

You've said flash with a t-mo stock rom to restore, this same t-mo stock rom, wouldn't happen to have smartwifi within it by chance?

I can't get over how simple rooting and flashing a custom ROM really is.
Took all of twenty minutes including downloading all the files, I'm now S-OFFed and running ARHD 3.6.1 with the recommended radio and my phone is absolutely flying - Quadrant benches of 2800+.
And as above, if I ever need to go back to stock I can either restore the backup I made when flashing the ROM, or flash a stock RUU and job done.

Right, the issue is covering ALL your traces for warranty purposes, ie if something goes wrong physically (internally) with the phone.

Read section 5 of the n00b-proof guide and you'll get everything on how to go back to 100% stock (S-ON, no root, etc)
As I received my brand nu Xe yesterday, I'm now on rooting it to delete unwanted apps.
I'm comming from Leo with Nand roms, where flashing was easier as rooting Android devices to me
Tried different threads, found different unanswerd questions about rooting, Hroot, S-off and stuff but to be honest, I have no clue how to do it with the XE.
I had the MAGDLR on it so flashing was like playing with toys, but now,....can't go on.
The stock rom which is on board on my TMO_DE XE is okay for me, no nned to flash another rom, but all I wanna do is to get rid of all unwanted sys app I never us.
Can anyone give me a helping hand on this?
thx in advance
P
Look on YouTube, theirs loads of videos on how to get s-off and rooting. Being the sensation XE doesn't make it any different from the original sensation just XE processors clock limit is 1.5ghz so follow guides for either

Hi there,
I just went to revolution website and followed the instructions in this topic: -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I had no issues (I didnt super-cid or whatever its called). May I also recommend you look at InsertCoin ROM V3.4.4, it is fast and causes no issues. if you want 2.3.4 Sensation XE ROM, Virtuous v2.2 is great.....I'm stuck deciding which of these two to use as my daily
Good luck
LoL,
I successfully S-Offed my Xe now and downloaded the rom manager.
so, do I still need to run busybox or something?

you don't need busy box. If you are already S off and have clock work installed. You are good to go. Get you a ROM, transfer to sd, enter recovery, and flash away.

CMR says that its NOT rooted, but I did with that revolutionary tool and it also downloaded CMR, but I can't find it
You need to flash a recovery through fastboot, then flash superuser through recovery. (or just flash a new rom) to get root

If you got the custom recovery, and you are rooted, then download an app (this one),that way you can lock those apps that you don't need, so you can save some RAM, and battery.

unfortunately, it is probably best if you ask the question in that forum though, as your question is not about sensation XL (which this forum is for) and the forum that was linked above is for SENSATION and SENSATION XE.
unfortunately in my case HTC Super tool v3 and revolutionary are not working. I am not able to S-off my HTC Sensatio XE (with beats audio) 2.3.4. I dont know what is wrong.
Is it possible that since i have downloaded the update HTC Super tool v3 is not working? also revolutionary is giving error and failed to root. Can you please help
Apparently there's an

That is old news, do some search next time.
Actually, there's a 2nd update with the same version number which has a newer radio to the other one - not on OTA yet but is available as RUU
I wish there was some way of temporarily reverting to non-root and S-ON, cause I can't install any of these updates while S-OFF and rooted.
Though there hasn't been a decen't changelog the updated Twitter API, Qualcomm patch, Touch panel drivers, Market v.3 apps availability do intrest me.
Has anyone been able to install the latest update?
I'm still getting a 9.05MB file, same as the security issue update from a few months back.

Sorry to bother you with this, probably stupid, queston, but how do I install the stock recovery?
I've just restored my first backup I made just after gaining S-OFF, but still unrooted. I've tried installing the update but yea it didn't work, probably because of Clockworkmod Recovery which is still installed.
I've tried doing a factory reset, but that only wipes /data , damnit.

It is the update that you installed. Some people have experienced root issues after installing the Over-The-Air update

That's because the zergrush exploit had been patched. You now need to use tacoroot to gain a temp root, then run revolutionary as normal. Also this should have be posted in q&a, you would get better/quicker/more answers that way.

Ans those who are going to flash or want to flash Android Revolution HD, flash Insertcoin instead of it. It's much much stable, phone does not heat up, 50% increased battery life. All the patches same as ARHD. % battery shown in stock battery. Super stable and has no bugs. All drivers are working superbly. Like they should be. (I have flashed both and this is my experience)

You don't need the Super wipe script if u are gonna flash Insertcoin's Rom cause it asks while installing and it also asks whether to use Beats system wide integration. So, 5.1.1 OS for both Sensation and sensation xe. Also includes 1.5GHz overclock. But, I would recommend sticking to stock
