It is easier to do if you S-Off.
If you are planning on installing a custom ROM you can skip the rooting step. All custom ROMs are already rooted so just flash the ROM and you have root.

OTA Update To 2.3.4

So I updated my Sensation to 2.3.4 and now I'm just wondering if I have an unlocked bootloader on my phone. Did the OTA give me an advantage to go and root my Sensation?

Nope

So then how do I go about rooting it. I don't know if I have S-off or not.

Turn off phone. Hold down lower volume and press power. Then youll see your bootloader screen and look and see if it says s-on.

Mine says locked, so yeah the OTA does not unlock your phone.
Do NOT unlock it. You warrenty will be void and HTC will know.
S OFF, flash CWM, then flash su

All he was asking was if the ota gave him s-off. Thats not gonna happen. The only way your gonna inform htc that you soff is buy them through there website. Just soff through alpharev and root flash radio update and youll be good. There is the direction thread in stickies ok. Kids these days

[Q] Noob question: Flashing an OTA update via CW Recovery?

As the title says. I did a search & came across a Nexus S post that said: You can flash an OTA update but you will lose root.
Just wanted to know if this is true for the Sensation. Thanks in advance.

No it will not work for sensation.

Oh alright. Mind me asking why?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
Because you need stock recovery to install OTA.

Because of the way stock recovery is setup, and the way HTC formats their update.zip files.

Oh so basically It's different from phone maker to phone maker. Thanks for ur replies!
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e
Yes you can.
When downloading, select install later.
Some can then be installed simply by using CWM. E.g. the latest security update.
Others, you need to put the stock recovery on first. See here.
Install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip in CWM again to get root back.

Telstra branded Sensation

Tried to s-off my wifes sensation but no good thru revolutionary.io ( Thanks to Telstra ****) so I used the htcdev method and unlocked bootloader with s-on. Using twrp recovery tried to flash a Ics Rom and got stuck in boot loop. Can someone please point me in the right direction, been searching post all night. Wifes not happy, using my old Hd2 today. Please help!!

You can't flash Rom with s-on you need to run ruu from pc to revert back to normal provide some more information about ur phone.

It is h-boot 1.18.000 CID Telstra001. I tried to install the Telstra stock Ruu back on but it said modle id incorrect.
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Is there a way to flash Rom similar to My EVO 3d with s-on ie, flash boot.IMG thru fastboot and then flash rom?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Revolutionary will definitely work with ur hboot you can see I have same hboot I got soff via revolutionary. There r chances u get error msg. Try to boot ur phone and pc reconnect it will work. Best thing I suggest get soff first rather then messing around.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
I tried about 4 times with revolutionary do you think I might need to make a gold card to prevent it checking Cid?

U don't need gold card for sensation.

Factory Reset

I'm going to need to restore this sensation and unroot it before I send it back into HTC to take this dust out. How do I go about unrooting it and reseeting it to S-ON?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
You would need to download stock ruu and run it from your pc and when that's done you need to put it back to s on open your cmd typ your commands to get your fastboot drivers working and then typ fastboot write secure flag3 and this will put it back to s on that way they want see that it has been unlocked

Hey, that's easy, don't worry.
Follow this guide: http://tinyurl.com/RUUGuide
to find your right RUU & instructions on how to flash it.
You'll need to flash the RUU twice. (Hboot pre-update)
