[Q] install ICS on Sensation XE for a noob - HTC Sensation

Hi all, I just got a Senation XE which is branded with o2. I would like to debrand it and put a stock debranded release of ICS onto it.
How do I go about doing this? Should I use htcdev.com to get s-off or revolutionary.io?
After I'm s-off can I install a custom recovery and do a nandbackup of my current rom and then flash a new one?
Thanks for any help

Make sure you read the whole thing AT LEAST once before doing it just so you know what is going on and what to expect next.
Good luck!
