Does anyone know of an app to root the sensation with version 2.3.4? I just got this phone and I havent been able to find anything yet.

Can't find anything, huh?! Did you try looking in the development section? There are no one click apps for the sensation. I suggest you read the stickied threads at the top of the development forum. Long and short there is no permanent root without s-off, only temp root.
Go to the dev area like the guy said, read through the one sticky....you should be then be able to do the whole shooting match...mine runs cm7. Definately the best phone I've had yet

Here's a guide to s-0ff and rooting. I really hope this helps! Its for the HTC sensation. It also shows how to super cid, if your interested. Read carefully
Some h boot versions require different methods I don't know what boot version you are but you can look over guide to get a general idea. Really must know the h boot before you can follow a certain set of instructions because the instructions are different for different versions. Without knowing that information you really can't follow guide.

Hi first find out your h boot version so you can be pointed to the correct guide. Different guides for certain h boot versions. Here is how you find your version. Pull battery put battery back in and press volume down and power at the same time. Hold it there and you will see a screen pop up. Look at the top of the screen. It will tell you your h boot version. You post your h boot version. Or you can search for a guide for your specific h boot. If you can't find it we can link you to the proper guide. Hope this helps.

thanks for the reply , my hboot is 1.27.0000
what should i do ?
Hello.
So your hboot version is 1.27.0000. Means you are using Ice cream Sandwich right now..
You can do the following:
1. Unlock your bootloader
2. S-Off your phone
3. Flash a custom recovery
4. Root your phone OR Flash a Custom ROM
You can also flash a custom ROM without doing S-Off. But I'll suggest you to S-Off your phone. It's not that hard, and it'll help you in the future..
Kindly read This Guide for further details.
Good luck.

Hi!
THIS thread and THIS thread could be very useful to you. Read everything, they are excellent step by step guides. The second link is the same anasmunir gave you, if you do not want to s-off your device but want to gain root access and install custom roms, go for that. Have a look at them and if you have any question just ask. Good luck!
Thanks for the quick reply.
The thing is i don`t know what flashing my phone means. I want to get jb on my sensation with a recent sense (4.1 ) so i need to flash and root but then?
( sorry for all those questions but as i said it's my first android phone..)

There is no.. Jellybean with sense 4.1
There is sense 4.1 with ics or pure jellybean based roms.. You have make your choice
As you don't know how to flash a rom.. Then
Refer guide on "flashing roms with SON" guide by asskickar.. In sensation general section.. (step 4b gives you idea on how to flash a rom properly).. And the whole guide gives you the complete process of flashing from scratch.... pretty noob proof I would say
