[Q] What's the best Way to perm root Sensation XE Z715e on GB 2.3.4 ?

Hello, I was wondering if someone on here could give me some advice, I have a couple of simple questions which hopefully have simple answers!
I have a Sensation XE Z715e, which I want to gain perm root too, however I've been looking around and found a muddle of answers, most of which don't contain a straight forward answer, my question is, is it possible, and what is the best way to do it? ( I told you it was simple )
Model/Software etc.. as follows;
HTC Sensation XE Z715e
Gingerbread 2.3.4
Sense 3.0
Software 1.73.401.4
HBOOT 1.18.0000
If possible, I want to avod using HTCDev to unlock my bootloader, because if need be I can't revert to normal.
I've also seen about having to downgrade software, and read that Revolutionary doesn't work, although perhaps an older version of Revolutionary does work with the phone?
Any help/opinions/ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks
P.S. Im not a noob, although I accept the fact that I am on these forums.

Same way you do the original Sensation, using the guide in the Dev forum

So in actual fact, all this stuff I have read about it being difficult/different/impossible if you have 2.3.4 and HBOOT 1.18.0000 is all rubbish, and this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 will actually still work?
Thanks

Of course it'll work, HBOOT 1.18.0000 is fully supported by Revolutionary and has been for months
Just download your RUU from the Shipped ROMs thread as a backup

Did mine , XE UK on O2 .. well it was . It may have been that Revolution didn't support HBOOT 1.18. at one time . It does now though

Thanks for your help! You've settled my mind that I will definitely be doing this when I get home from work, I'll be sure to make download my RUU and/or make a Nandroid backup!

Will not go. You must wait until it can be unlocked hboot 1.27.0000
There are quite a few beta test for the new HBOOT.
better to wait before acting broken cell phone

Rooting means I presume you want to install custom roms..
Then with htcdev unlocked bootloader (little bit chance of voiding warranty)
You can flash custom roms.. check the guide named "flashing ROMs with SON" by asskickar in sensation general section
You can avoid htcdev unlock.. But can soff.. To do that.. Chk the guide link in my signature."JuopunutBear soff without out htcdev one" . It also has one click root tool(it got some prerequisites though)
If you are getting confuse with the terms . then click on the link "how to be a new user not a noob" present in my signature too and read it to letter

Great ROM...awesome speed, no lag, great battery life...OH WAIT...

Questions go in the Q&A thread. But I'd suggest your start by reading about HTC Dev unlock

Not the place for it dude. You generally don't post in the Android Development forums unless you've made a ROM, or a kernel or something. Reposting this in general or Q&A will get you more help

As others have pointed out questions go in the Q&A section. A simple scroll through the threads here however would have shown you a few threads on what you are looking for such as this one

Not the place for this bro, but the thread that has what you want is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617, search the forum first too, most questions have answers on here already

Sorry that i posted in the wrong section, thanks for the help.

EDIT: Sorry, I was a little behind with the posting, ignore

HTC dev unlock the bootloader and this isn't the way to s off but it is a step in the right direction you will be able to flash Rom but not radios or firmware and the there's another way you could try and find the ruu that contains the hboot 1.17 and if successful you can then head over to alpha revolutionary and then s off and by the way I have that ruu that will get you where you want to be you are welcome to pm me if you like I know what it feels like when you have a sensation with hboot 1.17 I guess you can say I'm part of the old school pack have the hboot 1.17 everything is possible and easy so I kepp that ruu when I need to go back to stock Rom

no i havent and im on 4.0.3

Revolutionary s-off DOES NOT work with hboot 1.27. You have to user junuoput bear s-off by unlimited.io
By the way, s-off is not the same as rooting your phone. Read the link that was posted carefully.
Also, 4.0.3 is not your firmware version, it's your android software version.
