[Q] Possible to root on Sensation XE ICS

I am really a noob at rooting, though there are easy steps. However this confuses me. So if anyone can find a very good guide for rooting my Sensation XE running on ICS, that is noob-friendly.
EDIT: All I need to do is to downgrade my HBoot version to 1.17.xxxx - but I want to find the easiest way to do that.
EDIT2: I unlocked my phone's bootloader. Doesn't help with S-Off though. :/
I will have to wait for Revolutionary to update their tool so that my phone can S-Off (since my phone is 1.27.0000)
May I can downgrade my phone back to Gingerbread, but how? And it looks risky, will that can brick my phone?
I'll press the Thank button if your post is helpful enough.

I have found this to be a very useful guide with ICS https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KEQCpmcLGjbkeLmVU0mpLSwZvjNqLSAmNBqyKMus3Ag/edit?hl=en_US
You may also want to check youtube for the unlockr video tutorials, they typically refer back to xda, but will help if you need a visual reference.

So how does this officially root my phone? Which steps shall I take to get it rooted?
i'm SUCH a newb :/

Read the guide, it's all there...Steps 1-3 will do the job

My Hboot version is 1.27.0000
I don't think I can root.

If you're not already S-OFF then you won't be able to root yet

Maybe you will try to use Unlock Bootloader from htcdev.com but I can't make sure because I already S-OFF before rooted. But if you find a way to S-OFF you may would like try method above which I use.
I hope you have been s-off before update because unrevoked won't support it right now. If it show LOCKED on bootloader, this is how I root my Sensation XE.
1. Unlocked the phone using htcdev.com account since no other's method seem possible right now. But if you device already unlock you do not have to do this.
Go to hTCDEV register, click "Unlock Bootloader" and follow the instruction.
2. Install custom recovery, since htc recovery won't flash/install flashble zip correctly. For this I use "Android Recovery Manager". Reboot the phone after unlocked process. Connect the phone with usb cable. Open the Android Recovery Manager > Start > ** Download a recovery ** > HTC Sensation > ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.0 (Pyramid) > follow the instruction on the software. If stuck when device reboot to flash hboot but not yet flash it because can recognised the FASTBOOT(Android Recovery Manager waiting for FASTBOOT). Take out battery, reconnect usb and boot to FASSBOOT.
3. Flash the supersu, as the Android Recovery Manager finish flash the ClockWorkMod you have to install Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed.zip. If fail retry flash 2-3 times, but I am just done 1 time, before on GB I flash two time because fail at 1st time. And now you rooted and reboot your phone.
Try at your own risk.
Summary :
Download Android Recovery Manager and Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed.zip, place the Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed.zip on sdcard. Unlock the phone on htcdev.com, install custom recovery with Android Recovery Manager and flash the supersuser.
* use Superuser version 3.0.7 because the lower version won't support ICS. Use link given and download the right version.
I am using this method on Sensation XE, so try at your own risk. I will not responsible to anything happen. And please do make sure you backup your device first.
# Just hit the thanks button so I and other's will know this method also work for you ;p

Man, this solved my problem thank you very much.... btw what rom would you recommend? ARHD? or any?
appreciate the help

I'd start with ARHD as it is close to stock, stable and offers SebastianFM kernel which is great.

thanks,
btw, do you happen to know how to solve this,
superuser can't update latest SU binary update, it says failed to gain root access.
titanium backup says the same too "no root access"
do you know a link for the latest su binary update? I flashed the
superuser - 3.0.7-d-signed

Try to root with S On & *locked* using the rooting method in my tool.
I believe Busybox & SU is being installed, but the binaries are not present.
You can try and see if it works for you.
I'm trying to get it to work on S On & *locked* devices.

The only error is that the file doesn't exist for S On & *locked* users, although I can't confirm if this because this is true I've only heard about this from a couple of users.
The rest of the tool is bug free.
If you want to install a custom ROM then you will have to do either one of the following:
Use HTC Dev Unlock & Stay S On.
S Off without voiding your warranty. and then continue with this tutorial from step 1
Now, for the second method, you can also use my tool.
And frankly, because you are starting from scratch, the tool will make everything easy. Here's the options that you need to select:
First, S Off.
then Install 4EXT Recovery
then Install Firmware
then download your ROM & Install by selecting install ZIP from recovery.

Yes, once you are HTC Dev unlocked, you can. If you can't install the recovery, new version of the tool in a few minutes, which will make it possible.

I was in your state as well. I was trying to see wait whether Revolutionary.io would produce a newer version for the HBOOT 1.27. But I got tired of waiting and just went on to use other methods. In the beginning, it's a bit confusing. It took me a while to understand everything. But once you follow the steps, everything should become more simple.
A problem that I encounter was install 4EXT Recovery. I couldn't install it at first. I just install Clockwork's Recovery and flashed the ROM I picked. Then I went ahead and downloaded the apk for the 4EXT Recovery and install it from there. It was troublesome in the beginning, but it was well worth it.
My suggestion is that you should do HTC Dev Unlock first. Then S-OFF.

I don't think you can s-off without xtc clip, which is special hardware?
But you can unlock the bootloader through HTC dev and root later. Have you succeeded there with unlocking only?

I think I know why the first step of htcdev unlock doesn't work when I unlocked my chacha, my bootloader was 1.09 I think, after updating my hboot, it was 1.10.0000 (which is what it is right now).
So I don't think you need to update your HBOOT at all
Try following the htcdev unlock instructions, but just skip out the part when you have to run that RUU to update hboot

You need to flash clockworkmod recovery follow this tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164468
And then you can either root your stock rom by following this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184118
Or install a custom rom like Cyanogenmod 7 which is already rooted, or a custom stock rom like Ajeeval's Zasa4Chacha (which is already rooted as well). If you're gonna try out any other roms, make sure you do a backup in clockworkmod recovery first, because you don't wanna be having to reinstall your stock rom if something goes wrong, you'd be there all day lol

Hi, deltateam
I just finished S-OFF-ing my Desire S, HBOOT 2.00.0002. It took me 3 days for all the reading, searching, trying and failing, etc. So I think this might be of use for you.
The link for ENG HBOOT in the method you're linking to in the first post, is outdated. So here's what I have done:
I used this method. But here is some additional info.
After completing step 8 I found that I can't root it with SuperOneClick, so I S-OFFed it with Revolutionary first. After doing this you should have a S-OFFed device with HBOOT 0.98.0000 (or 0002, depending on which RUU you chose to downgrade to).
You can now successfully root it with SuperOneClick. Do NOT restart your phone. Restarting it in Recovery is not needed.
The next step links to the same method you linked to in the first post but as I said, the link there is outdated. So I found this post. It's basically the same thing but it has ENG HBOOT attached to it and it's the same as the one from zumodrive - I compared the md5sums. :cyclops:
After completing step 10 and restarting to bootloader you should now see that you have S-OFFed ENG HBOOT 2.00.002. You may want to flash the recovery again as (most likely) Revolutionary flashed its own recovery.
Also, you can still boot the old ROM, which you used for the HBOOT downgrade but of course you should flash new ROM soon. You may also update the RADIO to more recent one as the old RUU downgraded it and the Fallout ROM doesn't have a radio included.
Good luck with the ROM and I hope this helped

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Yes, this is what I meant - an official RUU Rom will change the RADIO but if you update it after that and flash a new custom Rom, it will stay unaffected (i.e. "updated").

ok one question, i unlocked my desire s on htcdev site, i instal clockwork mod recovery and rooted with super user, i install fallout, but on the screen stay black boot scren htc desire htd, and system not but, i try with sabsa rom, and ice ds and roms not boot, bootloder is unlocked s-on and rooted, where i am wrong???

the hboot version doesn't matter

Anyway, when you flash another ROM you need to delete your files (wipe the phone). So it doesn't really matter.
I strongly advice against using All In One toolkits, as they do the work you should do yourself, and often leave you without the knowledge needed to maintain your unlocked phone. In my opinion - never do something to your phone which you don't know what it does (for example - S-Off - most people don't need it).
