[Q] Easiest way to root your Sensation after OTA ICS? - HTC Sensation

Hello everybody, I got my Sensation few months ago as a replacement for my G2 and now im thinking to root it. Now I see there are a few threads on how to root it (S-Off) but Im not sure which one to follow. I rooted my G2 before and it looks like Sensation would be easier but I just want to make sure.
If somebody would direct me to the right thread where its proven to work I'd appreciate it, I would prefer to root it without unlocking the phone, but if its easier I wouldnt mind.
I got stock ICS 4.0.3 with sense 3.6
Thnaks.

HTC Aria

Anyone have any luck rooting this yet? I just got one today, my first Android phone, and really hate being locked down to only market apps. Hoping that rooting it will allow me to work around that.
Yep. theres an HTC aria thread with instructions on rooting it, installing a custom recovery and installing ROMs.

[Q] Update to GB 2.3.4 and.......

good day every one new here on HTC sensation, just got mine yesterday, question is how to update my sensation to 2.3.4 is it through the settings>about phone>software update? or HTC has a pc software app for our updates? sorry for being a newbie on Sensation was just so used to using flashtools,seus,pccompanion coming from my experience on xperia X10i, and one more thing I think you can update through the phone but is it safe I mean is there a possibility that i can brick my phone through the software update in my phone and last but not the least if I updated to 2.3.4 do we have a working root method for it or should I wait for the ICS update heard it will come early 2012 for our Sensation was planning to s-off,root,clockwork etc but I was thinking of loosing the ability to update my phone if ever the ICS roll out will come and plus I think I'm risking my phone in bricking it heard that getting s-on is kinda delicate procedure, what do you think guys?
Its actually pretty easy to s back on boss, no worries
yes being that you havent rooted yet you will be able to ota update with the steps as described by yourself. with no risk of bricking So no worries there
You will not be able to get the ics ota once you root, but again no worries our devs here on XDA work hard and quick, im sure ICS will be ported through the many ROMS made for the sensation, more than likely BEFORE the "official" release date.
Summary: go ahead OTA to 2.3.4 (once you doit will be easier to s-off since most guides to s-off are made for 2.3.4)
Root and s-off your device because its awsome
get ICS before "by the book" consumers
@rddocke do you mean this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 is for 2.3.4? and one more question do i need to Super CID my Sensation even if it is factory unlocked or still needs to? to be able accept any kind of firmware image from anyone?

Question about rooting.

Just wanted to know since I'm coming over from the G2 and I want to go ahead and root the phone. Just got it today out of the box, do I need to downgrade anything before I follow the root instructions? The tutorial I found isn't very clear on that and I dont want to end up messing the phone up already.
If this helps you answer my question I've got.
Android Ver 2.3.4
HTC SENSE 3.0
no you don't need to downgrade anything
Thanks a lot bro.
I had a g2 plus 3 replacements rooted everyone trust me this is way easier. Plus no downgrade required. Just rooted my 4g slide
Nope. Our phone is pretty easy to s-off and root.
click my sig for extra help if you need it. From s-off to roming and everything inbetween!

[Q] HTC Sensation on Vodafone

Hi all, I am a complete Android noob and am looks for some answers.
I currently own a HTC Sensation Z710e that came with my contract on Vodafone and I am intrested in performing the whole S-Off and root thing, my question is though since I seen on the HTC Dev site that there is an EU version and a Vodafone version of the Sensation, I wanted to know if rooting on my phone would work and would I be able to install standard Senstation custom ROM's, would they install just fine or would there be issues with things such as calling or texting people? Would I need to change the radio settings around or something, if so how?
I just used the htc dev site just to see about how it works and I am probably going to use revolutionary.
I am running Android 2.3.4
You can tell I am not yet fully experienced when it comes to Android, so could I have some general tips and guidelines when it comes to modding my Sensation please.
Thanks for the help!
Yes when you root it and S off you can use any compatable rom - also unlcok the Sensation for free as well.
My phone came from Orange - S off CoreDroid for me and unlocked its
Marvellous sorry Sensational, now on Virgin
If you can read and follow instructions it's easy.
Use the guide here
