Just flash a superuser.zip files through CWM Recovery and you're rooted.
If what the person before me said doesn't work try looking up the thread that's says " how to flash ics with s-on" after u do that process right you'll gain root access. Because I was in the same situation with you and couldn't gain root. But that worked.

I'm sort of having the same issue... Where do you get superuser.zip? Is there a specific one we need? And can I just flash it then right away flash a rom?
Thanks

S-OFF doesn't give you root. You have to flash a PG(somenumbersican'tremember).zip file and you will have root then (read the sticky in dev section)

please read
do you know where the zip file is in the dev section? or is there any way you can post the link please thank you i do not know where it is in the dev section

If you're a n00b then you shouldn't really even be trying this. You should really know what you're doing before jumping in head first and then expect us to bail you out. Not to sound harsh but it's the truth
Well I am a nooob at getting the root back to can someone please help me
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Since you're having so much trouble flashing the su .zip file, I would recommend skipping it in favor of a pre-rooted ROM.
Go to the DEV section and pick a ROM. I'm using LeeDroid right now. Download the ZIP file and put it on the root of your sdcard. Boot into Clockwork (either with VOLUME DOWN or use the command "adb reboot recovery" if you have adb) and flash the ZIP of the new ROM. I've found that my stock Sensation ROM hated Superuser. YMMV

Try it again. I believe, from reading the troubleshooting part of the noob guide, that you may have to try to flash it a few times. I had to try 2-3 times and then it just worked. Make sure you read that guide+troubleshooting part thoroughly incase some of it applies to you. Or, if you want a ROM as well, skip it all and read up on flashing a ROM. Make sure you understand what you are doing, as you can royally mess up!

My friend has an HTC Sensation that he rooted and tried to put an ics rom on. I tried to help him as I have rooted 3 different types of phones and installed several custom roms on them. I updates the firmware and that broke the phone. I fixed by running the 1.50 ruu. Unlock with htcdev and installed cwm. Can't get s off or get roms to boot. Please advise.

Unfortunately htc.dev only unlocks part of the bootloader and you can't flash radio.img or boot.img to the device. Revolutionary will not work on htc.dev unlocked device, and roms may not boot unless official htckernel (boot.img) is used.
Solution is to run your ruu again, and start over using the thread posted above. If that fails there is a way to recover the device, I'll find a link and post it.

I tried the ruu again and it says security fail on the phone. do I need to relock the bootloader? If that doesn't work I will try the methods above. Thank you all for the help.
OK yes try to relock - its part of the guide posted above. Its a bit of a process but shown to work!

So I finally got the virtuous rom to work by using adb to flash the boot.img and that rom is working. Can't get the bootloader to lock back so I can root with revolutionary or use an ruu. Frustrated.

OK so you have bootable rom and working recovery? Next you need to flash the 2.3.3 rom according to the instructions in the guide posted above. This will downgrade and relock bootloader, you should then be able to s-off & root.

Hmmm, annoying.
You may be able to find something else by searching, instructions specify a stock rooted 2.3.3 rom, not necessarily the actual one in the link.

Hello I'm ending if anyone can give me some detailed steps on getting root back after upgrading to 2.3.5. I've seen one post with instructions, but when it comes to rooting an HTC device, I get nervous. I just want to use my Wi-Fi tethering again, so would I just need to unlock my bootloader using HTCdev and install CWM? Do I downgrade?
Someone please help me out.

How did you root it the first time, AAHK or HTCDEV? If you used AAHK you might still be S-OFF; just flash a recovery and flash a rooted ROM. If you used HTCDEV I advise that you use AAHK this time around. Google "attn1 aahk" to find it. You will need to downgrade; it's in the Kit.

Please i need help. I want to root my device. I have unlocked the bootloader using HTCDev. i have ICS,s-on and HBoot 2.00.0002. I have tried Superoneclick but it hangs at #5 all the time. Pls, is there any other method? (NB : I dont want the downgrade method) I just want a "My device" compatible type. Thanks.

Super one click is not the way to go if you want to learn, it's not that difficult to downgrade and s-off of you follow the guides. If you do downgrade then flash the eng hboot(is an eng 2.00.002) of not then just flash the boot.img every time you change roms. Look in the index on the dev thread it will give you all the info you need. Just follow the guides to the letter and you'll be fine

Since you've got your bootloader, unlocked. Flash a custom recovery. Then flash SuperSu or SuperUser via recovery. Don't ask where to get it, search.

No, Play Store won't help you. You need to follow Skanob's post, and do exactly what he wrote exactly in the way he wrote. If you don't understand how to flash - read more until you do.

Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
He wrote "flash custom recovery", that's what you did.
The next step is "flash SuperSU via recovery".
Google it.
If you won't understand what should be done - it means you shouldn't have root access on your phone. And it's not a derogatory remark, but a safety measure - before the next thread like "I tried to use some root program, now my phone doesn't boot and I don't know what to do". This isn't a support forum.

SuperCID will stay. You'll just need to flash recovery again, and then either flash superuser to stay stock rooted, or flash a custom ROM.

Yea thats what I always thought, was just bein sarcastic.. So for the sake of the thread and the O.P. To retain root you would have to flash recovery after running the RUU correct? Because the gentleman that I was originally responding to stated that theres no need to flash recovery, that the RUU does this for us...
Yes you need to flash TWRP again after you run an RUU. The RUU only flashes the stock recovery.

Ya I used that one click tool for XL to get the recovery..now on to further questions instead of making a new thread i decided to reuse this one.. anyways after I got through all that i decided to go ahead and flash some custom roms and ended up with the same results when ever someone sends me pics or videos through text, they will download fine until i connect to a wifi, then i get an error saying "couldn't download now, please try again later. Even when I disconnect from the wifi i get the same error and sometimes will not even get data untill I wipe and re flash but everything works fine with the stock rom.. what could cause this i have tried messing with the data options in settings and nothing works. rom's I have used are
Root box
slim bean
xylon
all of them have acted that same and all use the 3.4 kernel. so I'm stuck on stock until i can figure out whats going on :crying: so any help is greatly appreciated :good:
