do you have a custom recovery?

what worked for me is the downgrade of the HBOOT version first...then root

Since you're already S-OFF, this couldn't be easier. Just download 4ext recovery, flash it via fastboot, and find a zip file of Superuser or SuperSU and flash that from within your new recovery.

Thanks guys for response, can you give me a link straight to that so i cant read so many tutorials?
I just want to be rooted

If you're S-OFF, just flash a custom ROM of your choice, and root will come with it.

did you have enabled smartflash in 4EXT recovery before installed the rom?

[Q] boot.img

Ok trying to cover my bases. I'm stock 2.20 and looking to root and flash roms. I've done this on the one x in the past but it was during the 1.73 and 1.85 era.
Now when I achieve root and get a custom recovery pushed.... Now every time I flash a rom I need to also pull the boot.img from the zip?
And when do I flash that? Prior to the rom flash or after?
Thanks

Yes. that needs to be done after flashing ROM. if you are flashing an updated version of same ROM and if there are no changes in kernel.. no need to do that..

[Q]root for villec2 (4.0.4)

I have gone from TrickDroid to stock Rom because the OTA update.
Unlocked my bootloader and tried to root my device like with the 4.0.3
, but I didn't succed.
The SuperSu app is nowhere
Can anyone make the root for(4.0.4) or I must go again to stock(4.0.3) to root my device and flash a rom?
Sent from my stock HTC One S c2
You have to unlock your bootloader and then flash TWRP with fastboot. Then you can flash the supersu bineries. Thatstge way I rooted mine.

Thanks but i didn't finish anything yet.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. By PC opened the bat. file from superboot r1.zip(bootloader mode)
No supersu
Correct me if I'm wrong in the steps

[Q] Requirements to update from ICS to JB ?

Hi,
I got this Sensation XE that I was dealing with today, I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP Recovery, because the 4EXT did not want to load after I installed it numerous times. I now Installed ViperS 1.6 on it, which is ICS 4.0.4.
My question is, what are the requirements to Install a JB rom on it?, do I just flash it and it will work? do I need to change HBOOT or something?, flash an JB Kernel??? what do I do?
Thank you

Are you S-On? Did you flashed ViperS ICS with TWRP recovery? I'll still recommend you to flash 4EXT recovery if you're S On. Try downloading recovery.img from some other link and check MD5.
For JB ROM you just need 3.32 or 3.33 firmware and you're good to go for JB. Just flash the ROM from recovery just like you did for ViperS ICS.

Yes I am S-ON.
My version of firmware (if I am correct) is: 3.33.705.151. But I am on ICS. The original Rom that was on the phone befire I installed vipers was 4.0.3
So.. if it is 3.33, I can just flash JB?? ?
Thanks

By the way, if anyone shall have this issue with 4EXT and will look in here, the problem is with the file on the ALL IN 1 TOOLKIT for SENSATION.
The solution is to download 4EXT from the main site (install APK on phone, then install it from there, or from Bootloader.) - Just good "4EXT"
