[Q] What's the best Way to perm root Sensation XE Z715e on GB 2.3.4 ?

Hello, I was wondering if someone on here could give me some advice, I have a couple of simple questions which hopefully have simple answers!
I have a Sensation XE Z715e, which I want to gain perm root too, however I've been looking around and found a muddle of answers, most of which don't contain a straight forward answer, my question is, is it possible, and what is the best way to do it? ( I told you it was simple )
Model/Software etc.. as follows;
HTC Sensation XE Z715e
Gingerbread 2.3.4
Sense 3.0
Software 1.73.401.4
HBOOT 1.18.0000
If possible, I want to avod using HTCDev to unlock my bootloader, because if need be I can't revert to normal.
I've also seen about having to downgrade software, and read that Revolutionary doesn't work, although perhaps an older version of Revolutionary does work with the phone?
Any help/opinions/ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks
P.S. Im not a noob, although I accept the fact that I am on these forums.

Same way you do the original Sensation, using the guide in the Dev forum

So in actual fact, all this stuff I have read about it being difficult/different/impossible if you have 2.3.4 and HBOOT 1.18.0000 is all rubbish, and this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 will actually still work?
Thanks

Of course it'll work, HBOOT 1.18.0000 is fully supported by Revolutionary and has been for months
Just download your RUU from the Shipped ROMs thread as a backup

Did mine , XE UK on O2 .. well it was . It may have been that Revolution didn't support HBOOT 1.18. at one time . It does now though

Thanks for your help! You've settled my mind that I will definitely be doing this when I get home from work, I'll be sure to make download my RUU and/or make a Nandroid backup!

Hi,
First you must s-off HERE
For the recovery,use 5.0.2.0 HERE
Then ,get your ROM HERE
And use this guide HERE
A lot of work.
A lot of reading.
Do not skip ANY steps.
Read carefully,and you should be OK.

quick answer - there isn't an official ICS RUU yet, only beta ones

Can't go S-OFF. I'm on HBOOT 1.23, which is unsupported from revolutionary.
There is no official RUU? I thought HTC had released an Official RUU?!
Are there any beta RUU's?

Beta RUUs are in the Shipped-ROMs thread but come with HBOOT 1.27.0000 which you still can't S-OFF - you need to wait for Revolutionary to udpate to get S-OFF

I'm not able to flash an ICS Beta RUU?
My Sensation only have to run, I would like to sell it.
Can't sell it when it's broken x.x

And you can't sell it on a beta RUU either!!! That's just lying to get a sell!

I know.
But I will only that my phone works, maybe I can update in in a while to original and THAN I can sell it
or maybe, I can use it myself! That would be great.
But for now , there's no boot and no function.. I can't use my Sensation!

[Q] Guide to DOWNGRADING from Android 4.0.3 to 2.3.4 for Sensation

Could anyone help me by giving me few steps towards doing this? Once I complete is successfully I will edit this and post a full, detailed guided for anyone else looking to do the same thing.
What I have:
-HTC Sensation which has the latest Android update (never rooted, never changed from anything default)
-I downloaded the RUU 1.5... TMOUS
-I saw that I need to do a bootloader from HTCdev on my phone and Install Android SDK
Can anyone PLEASE give me a little better guide on what to do exactly?
Often people just say "its in the forums, here's a link" and the link will take me to a million other links and explanations. Very confusing and I wasn't able to find a good explanations for us noobs.
THANK YOU ALL!

Well it is very simple Imo... You need to get a gingerbread ruu and run it in windows nothing else... That should be enough

Thank you, but unfortunately it is not simple for me. I got the gingerbread RUU, but what do I need to do on the computer, cell phone part?
Thanks again!

You need to double click on the RUU and follow what the program indicates

JuopunutBear to S-OFF. Flash GB RUU

All you have to do is run the RUU. Make sure your PC has the appropriate drivers for your device and HTC Sync. I had to restore a few times using the stock 1.73.401.4 RUU for my Sensation XE, and that is all that I had installed. I can verify that root is not needed in my experience although I did have S-Off.
I hope this helps.

Don't need HTC Sync installed. Just need the drivers. Not sure if RUU comes with said drivers. Need to be S-OFF to downgrade hboot. ICS hboot is NOT compatible with GB (1.23 is, but that's not what's included with the latest RUUs).
Without S-OFF, you CANNOT RUU back to GB.
If it were so simple as flashing GB RUU, we wouldn't need JuopunutBear

downgrade is very complicated.
root the current ICS and install recovery
Juopunubear S-OFF (require htcdev unlock and root)
downgrade firmware to 1.17
flash GB rom or run GB RUU

Help!!!! Hboot 1.27.0000

Hey Guys im trying to root my sensation and im doing the revolutionary steps but i got this on the screen of the revolutionary soft
Your Device: pyramid, with HBOOT 1.27.0000 is not supported at this time. So does this means i cant root my phone at all?
Please someone who can explain me more about this?? or guide me to another direction of doing this??

no i havent and im on 4.0.3

Revolutionary s-off DOES NOT work with hboot 1.27. You have to user junuoput bear s-off by unlimited.io
By the way, s-off is not the same as rooting your phone. Read the link that was posted carefully.
Also, 4.0.3 is not your firmware version, it's your android software version.

[Q] S-OFF AND S-ON Help

DEAR Brethren's,
I have come to you in a time of need.
I poses the mighty sensation xe, with an unlocked bootloader throught HTC Dev and it is S-ON.
I am currently running CM11. I was wondering in order to S-OFF the phone can I do it on the custom ROM ?
Or do I need to be stock.
PS. God Save the Queen.
