Can i root my asian sensation and keep my phone s-off? If so, how?
Are you serious? Hurrp Durrp use the search.
of course not
S-off means writing to /system. Root requires write access to /system in order to get the app + 18056377243 binary.
So no.

Technically the answer is YES on the Sensation because you can use the HTC unlock method to install a custom recovery and flash Superuser to give your current Rom root access without going S-Off.
But using Revolutionary to S-Off your phone is the superior method to use and gives you more options in the future.

Using the htc method still gets you to s-off, and then end goal the person doesn't want.
You cannot write to /system without some sort of s-off. And the htc way is one of the two ways to get s-off.

Whatever dude. The HTC Unlock method unlocks the boot loader, but it still reports S-Off as indicated by several posts in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16865964&postcount=71
When you boot into the unlocked boot loader, the boot loader commands have
special access to some of the partitions such as /system, but you are limited by what the commands can flash.
yup. the HTC method while gives you s-off doesn't allow you to root the phone or install a custom ROM.
I had read through the user guide at XDA, about the uninstall HTC SYNC. Uninstall HTC sync is on HTC phone or computer or both?
It is Rooting method for Samsung Galaxy S2 and HTC Sensation is different?

You only need to uninstall HTC Sync on your PC, not the phone.
Yes, the rooting process is different between SGS2 and HTC Sensation.
If i using Revolutionary tool to S-OFF and root the HTC Sensation, does it make changes on stock ROM, Kernel, driver (e.g 3G), etc?
It is Revolutionary tool compatible for all version of the HTC Sensation? Because i'm from Malaysia.
If my HTC Sensation got hardware problem need to claim warranty, can i unS-OFF and un-root it?

Doesn't change anything, you just get access to write to /system and all that good stuff. Yes revolutionary is compatible to all sensations.
You can also revert to s-on per the same guide to s-off.
If its a hardware problem that has absolutely nothing to do with software(like volume rocker falling off) then I don't c y it should b a problem claiming warranty regardless if ur s-off/on.

I understand that HTC will release a new update for all HTC device to unlock the bootloader.
Recently i just got an software update fromHTC. Software number is "1.45.707.1" running Android 2.3.4. It is this software number already unlock the bootloader?
If the bootloader already unlock do i need to S-OFF in order to root my HTC Sensation?
What are the different in between S-OFF and unlock bootloader?

The update itself doesn't automatically unlock the bootloader of all sensations...it only makes them compatible with HTC's unlock tool.
If you don't mind me asking, is there a reason that you seem to want to avoid the revolutionary unlock? It's generally regarded as the better method since its reversible and doesn't require you to reveal to HTC that you're unlocked.
I want root my HTC sensation on the safe way, so i need to do some research. Because i still new on rooting android device.
After S-OFF the bootloader, do i need to check compatible of baseband version and build number before i root the HTC sensation?
What i know is for Samsung Galaxy S2 need to check this.

IMHO, revolutionary is the safer method to unlock since you can reverse it for warranty purposes. Supposedly HTC will honor hardware warranty issues even if you use the official unlock but I can't confirm that (they did with my nexus one though). Why risk getting denied though?
AFAIK, all current bootloaders, radios (basebands), and ROMs are compatible with each other in the sense that it will work. Some radios work better with some roms but no combination that I'm aware of will result in a brick. It's not like the G1 days where you had to make sure that your radio was compatible with your SPL and flashing them in the wrong order would make the device unbootable.
So I will have to s-off with Windows and then I can root with my Mac ? Sorry for sounding dumb...... Just still stuck in iPhone land lol htc sensation with 2.3.4

You don't have to do anything to root unless you're going to stay on the stock rom. Custom roms are already rooted. To root a stock rom, you flash the root files from recovery, no pc needed.

Hello
I want sim unlock my sensation, but also want to be stock everything and not rooted. So here comes the question:
If I root my phone, and do the sim unlock. Can I run the RUU, and make my sensation S-ON and STILL keep the sim unlock ?
Thanks

Absolutely yes. Root your phone using Revolutionary, perform the Sim Unlock procedure then run the RUU. Once the RUU has successfully installed follow the Revolutionary instructions to S-On your Hboot.
Thank you, I am gonna do it soon

First, read before you open a new thread, there are already guides for this.
Second, what you wanna do? Maybe unlocked is enough for you.
Look at the Index thread and you will find what you're looking for.

Is there any way to unlock bootloader on at&t evita one x that has had the ota JB update?
Unfortunately, I did not root this phone prior to applying the update.
Any help/answers are obviously welcome.
I have tried going through the htcdev.com hack, but get the following error after entering my token id: Error Code: 160.Error Reason: MID Not Allowed.

At the moment there is not.
At the very least you need to be able to gain temp root access in order to change the CID to allow you unlock it through htcdev.
The error you get is because AT&T don't allow bootloader unlock through htcdev.

Is that something new that came with the ota update? I only ask because prior at&t evita one x's (2.20.502.7 ruu) had no issues with the htcdev unlock process
No it's been that way since the beginning.
With the 2.20 RUU there was an exploit so you could change your cid to another carrier or supercid which allowed you to unlock it through htcdev.
You still couldn't unlock it if it still had AT&T's cid on the device.

Has this been resolved? I'm following Hasoon 2000's guide to unlocking the bootloader on my htc one x (ATT) and there are many people who have had success and are posting on Hasoon's thread as recently as a few hours ago, so I'm assuming it is allowed now, but I'm still getting the error 160 code. I'd like to post directly on that thread but I'm a noob and don't have the minimum number of posts...
Any help appreciated
Bump
If you have the latest ota update, you will be unable to gain temp root. You have to change your CID to be able to unlock bootloader with HTC dev. Unless you were s-off, there is no way at this time to accomplish this.

the 3.18 update introduced system write protection so even with root, one cannot alter the CID unless one is S-OFF.

There is no method to unlock the sim right now regardless of root, s-on, s-off, whatever. No one's cared to look for one. I would but I don't have another carrier sim to test with.

as of the moment, that's correct.
It can be used on whatever network it came from. Other carriers sell the evita too. You can always try contacting the Carrier and requesting the unlock code or buying an unlock code from an unlock service.
