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

Thomas follow the guide that XaQi 101 gave. Its possible to root without having S-OFF.
I've read and googled everything i can and I'm honestly still very confused and need the communities help!
Just got myself the one x with ROGERS, and yes I'm on stock rom 1.73
I'd like to flash a custom ROM...simple enough but the process seems confusing.
Here's what i understand i should do so far..
1. since I'm already locked (bootloader locked) i can just flash to 1.85 RUU..
2. Once i somehow find a way to do that...i need to unlock the bootloader from htcdev.com
Install CWM..by one click or maybe the adb method..
3. Or was it root first and then CWM...??
4. Install ROM..if you can figure out the instructions on that..
I need some serious help..the most detailed instructions possible...
Cheers and i appreciate all the help i can get.

Skip the first step. 1.85 is unrootable at the moment so if you try and flash using the 1.85 RUU you're screwing yourself over for the latter steps. Use the One-Click Root (search for tut) and root your device on the 1.73. Then you want to do the rest.
I belive you are mistaken. I from 1.73 root and bootloader unlock can be achieved. Then fastboot oem lock through command line, flash 1.85, unlock the bootloader again, and flash cwm. then you can flash superuser and you have root on 1.85. Right now if you want to flash custom roms 1.85 base is the only option. There are threads in the development section with tools and instructions on how to do this process.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
You cannot unlock your bootloader though without your phone being rooted, and if you update to 1.85 you're stripping away your root privileges. Maybe I'm mistaken, but that's how I've understood it.
This is exactly what I'm trying to avoid... all this confusion...

You can't directly unlock or root 1.85 yet, the only way you can is if you already have a super-CID from before you upgraded. Follow the tutorial on how to do that, then unlock your bootloader using HTC Dev, then flash your recovery with ClockWorkMod, then install SuperUser using ClockWordMod. That's the only thing that will work to get you what you want on 1.85

That's exactly what I said. It is a roundabout way to root, but it is the only way. And it works.
He has a Rodgers phone so he can unlock the bootloader without needing to mod anything but i think he still needs to change the cid so that he can flash 1.85

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

Can I download it
if so plz tell me the steps to do it
2- how can I make my fone works in another carrier

Like I said. Read the Ace Think Tank thread.
Hint: you need to flash a recovery from fastboot, then flash a ROM from recovery, then flash a boot.img from fastboot. And for carrier compatibility, you need to read the manual S-Off portion.

Run a RUU that supports bootloader unlocking. If you do this with a PD98IMG.zip you need to put the file in the root of the SD card and name the zip exactly that.

Your RUU depends on which DHD software version you are running. If you can't find one you need to make s gold card and flash another version's RUU.

Why are you trying to get S-Off? I'm not willing to help other people with the manual S-Off method because I haven't done it personally and it's a method meant for advanced users who don't need help anyway; if you need help I advise that you stick to just unlocking your bootloader.
ADB and fastboot are two separate things. You can fastboot flash the boot.img without bricking the phone, yes. My signature has instructions for flashing the boot.img.
If the battery level fell, it fell...flashing stuff takes a lot of power. If you let it hang on the splash for awhile I could see it dropping 90%.

If it takes more than a minute, you probably didn't flash the boot.img.
Because I didn't understand the question. And still don't. With an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery, the procedure for flashing all ROMs is the same.

The problem is that now i have S-ON, and i cannot install another ROM, it works only with the ROM that wass installed before bricking.
I cannot get S-off, i have tried Juopunutbear method, but its not working, says to connect the device, and install drivers...
I have tried a lot of method's, i've tried installing a stock RUU, without luck...
I guess that i have to modify my firmware or hboot version, but as I was saying, i am no expert.
I can provide more information, if anyone can help me.
thanks

Hello,
I have a HTC sensation, that i started rooting and install a custom rom - Kitkat from sultanxda.
All worked perfectly, only that one day i wanted to make a sim unlock, because it was locked in Vodafone Romania.
By mistake, i am not an expert, i've used the comand: fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

since it is unlocked you can still flash kitkat rom
just follow step 2 from this guide(flashing a recovery)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861
then from 4ext format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartflash(because now you are on S-ON)
flash the rom
but if you still want to use the ruu.exe you must have to relock your bootloader first

nope i gave you a ruu with higher firmware but the same region as yours
i don't know what is wrong
did you try both of them ?
edit: unlock the bootloader again and try flashing a rom from recovery

i think i made a mistake first time, i used a ruu.exe with same firmware 3.24, it was an older one i had in downloads
now i try with the first one u gave me... hope it works
finally, i managed installing the ruu.exe u gave me, i hope that now i can get s-off... and make simunlock..
i will use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870233
thx you for helping me
i made a big mistake, as i was trying with the ruu.exe with the same firmware as i had, that is why i got that signature error.
the ruu.exe u gave me, made the upgrade and it works now )
i am so happy... i've tryed for 2 weeks on solving the problem.
