You now need to flash a custom recovery such as ClockworkMod or Ext4 and then you can flash su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip to install superuser and root your ROM.
Check out this thread for the links:

There was a small OTA update to the settings.apk file which solved that problem, try downloading it first

Have you tried installing superuser and busybox?

Process done.First installed recovery then wrote Super user via recovery.that's all.
Hey folks, forgive me if this is the wrong section but i could not find a section dedicated to the XE, only the standard sensation and XL.
I've done some serious looking arround and there are so many guides & tools across the various guides i'm confused. Some require htcdev, some don't and other stuff.
What i'm looking to do is simple
Permanently root the my phone with NO custom recovery (but the option to do so later cause it will be rooted) so i can still receive official updates because the HTC Sensation XE is scheduled for a android 4.1 or 4.2 update
My basic phone stuff is:
HTC Sensation XE
Android 4.03
HTC sense 3.6
Softwarenumber 3.33.401.154
Hboot 1.27 if i recall correct
What's the easiest way to do this.
Rooting procedure for sensation and sensation xe is same...

you can use htcdev unlock method to unlock the bootloader or
use this guide to S-OFF
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
Every guide, rom or tweak for the 'normal' Sensation will work fine on the XE, as it has the exact same hardware. The XL has different hardware though.
That first link already "confuses".
first it starts talking about doesnt need htcdev unlocked bootloader, 2 lines below it sais it does need it. Then it links to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
I am registered on HTCDev.com but my device isnt listed, only the normal sensation (eu). I suppose i can pick that one? Then even further down that thread it talks about a new version that only requires temp root, or even a wire trick
see where i'm getting confused?
I'm on the stock rom (and plan to remain that way), no s-off (i was rooted when the phone had android 2.3.4 but flashed the update before i rerooted so i lost root). I'd rather not unlock the bootloader to void warrant and just gain s-off to be able to install superuser from the android market, cause i know thats the tool that actually grants aps root access
Actually if you have done htcdev then use the guide you mentioned
But if you haven't done htcdev then use the guide i linked to you
About temp root it must be done in order to have success for S-OFF
In any case follow the guide to the letter
Edit:you said that you were rooted when you were at 2.3.4 android
That means you did S-OFF with revolutionary method
Are you sure that you aren't still S-OFF;
About devices list you can choose all other supported devices

UPDATE: it is assumed that you have stock ROM and stock recovery and/or HTC unlock is failing

So i should first try the HTCDev method?
Confirmed i'm no longer S-OFF, the update to ICS 403 failed because of the CWM recovery that got installed. I had to reset to factory settings in order to flash it, but after restoring i forgot to root again and straight updated to ICS so lost the root.
I've read the juonuptbear guides and thats the whole point of confusing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617
under requirements:
* Be rooted (have superuser and/or an unsecured boot image installed)
aint that the whole point of gaining S-OFF to GET root access? How can you be rooted before. The HTCDev only unlocks the bootloader, it doesn't give root access. I didn't say i've done HTCDev, i'm registered to do it but havent done it yet cause my device wasn't listed and was unsure which one to pick.
Then there's this
but it's always recommended to follow HTCDEV unlock way as the wire trick there is easier

See my whole confusing thing? I need simple instructions
As said i only want root access with no custom recovery so i can continue to get phone updates. If there's a non-stock version of like CWM that will let me do that well either is fine.
Mine fits this topics title. hboot 1.27 & FW 3.33(401.154) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870233
Then there's afaik this guide that fits too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497404

it means that after htcdev unlock method you have to be rooted which means installed also custom recovery in order to use this S-OFF guide
so you don't need that in your case
so you have 2 options
use htcdev and leave it as it is or
use ganeshp S-OFF guide(i haven't seen anywhere for installing custom recovery or maybe i am so blind!)
Found this guide too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497404
so what exactly do i need to do. HTCDev unlock bootloader yes or no. custom recovery (that same link perhaps)
I'd love some exact steps

in your case then i suggest you to follow htcdev method
because the guide you posted requires htcdev unlock method
also the tool that provides,you are using it to install custom recovery and then use root
i mean that you can't use the tool to root your device without installing first custom recovery
so proceed with htcdev unlock method
Well since i linked a few guides, would you be so kind to link me the one i need to do what i want to do. Keep stock rom & stock recovery but have perm root (so that even in the case of a factory reset the root remains). I can live with installing SU from the market to give aps root access, as long as the device itself remains rooted. And dummy proof step by step instructions on what i need to do

Then in this case best solution is my way of soff.. Guide Link in my signature..
In the pre-requisites of the unlimited.io official site you can skip the htcdev unlock part.. As this is special case..
1. just follow the guide to the letter... Then once soff is done.. Do the one clock root tool that's all
(the reason I quoted to do HTCDev unlock over this method is because the wire trick is kinda easier that way.. But you don't want HTCdev unlock and custom recovery so.. Just do what I said)

you are S-OFF already
also no root access
no custom recovery
then don't do nothing
well with s-off already i WANT to have root access so i need to do SOMETHING. But when i enter recovery console i get that red triangle thing and it hangs there.

the red tringle means that you have stock recovery
if you want to have root access try to install the su app from google play store
i did install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.noshufou.android.su, still no root access. SU doesn't get requests
when i install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu it sais no super user binairy is installed, does there lie the problem ?

try this one

that's the one i linked to 2nd. Sais "no binairy installed and SuperSU cannot install this. This is a problem". When i click ok, SuperSU shuts down. So even though i'm S-Off, im not rooted

hmm,
the only thing i can tell you is from ganeshp guide use only the one click root tool
see if you will succeed
but see also the prerequisites
Hi Guys,
today i updated my Sensation from 2.4.3 to 4.0.3 and Sense 3.6. I used this ROM
"RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.6_Radio_11.76A .3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M".
I set the CID to 11111111, installed CWM ( Version 5.0.2.0), and also flashed SuperUser via CWM.
But when i try to start my "Root Explorer" the devices tells me to restart the App because it cant get Root access.
What did i wrong ?
Sorry for my awful english
ok just answered myself i got the hboot 1.27.000 and i need to do the "wire trick"

actually when you used ruu you returned the device in 100% stock as you bought it
so you lost root
you have to start again and yes this time only with the wire trick
