[Q] Rooting HTC Sensation

Dear Seniors,Developers,Moderators and Members,



Hi guys, I recently just joined this site and is totally new to rooting my Sensation.


I read threads like [Guide] to Installing S-off, ClockWork, Root, SuperCID & S-on [03/AUG/11](noobproof), [ROM] Android Revolution HD™ 3.5.0 XE | High Quality & Performance | OC | faux 0.1.5


but I am still not sure about certain things


1)My Sensation is running on Android 2.3.3. Am I able to S-OFF, Permanently root my Sensation and to install Android Revolution HD rom which has 2.3.4?


2)Which steps am I going to take to S-OFF, Permanently root and install that custom rom? [Got confused whether to follow step 1 to 3 [root] or step 1 and 2[install custom rom for the first time]]


3)Am I use my phone normally like an unrooted phone after S-OFF and Permanently rooted my phone without install a custom rom?

4)Is this [GUIDE] (For Noobs) SDK, ADB, and Drivers needed as part of the phone rooting process?[I don't have any HTC Sync software/drivers installed]


5)Is Super CID needed to install Android Revolution HD rom? [I didn't quite understand what Super CID is]

Thank you for spending your time reading it, any more information or help is much appreciated.

Nope, I have already uninstalled the HTC Sync and left HTC Driver Installer and HTC BMP Usb Driver installed only.

Just keep trying, it will eventually work. I've reported it god knows how many times to the Revo guys but they either don't care or can't fix it

After each step that fails, reboot the phone and do it again

Ok, I will keep on trying for a day or so and will report back for the result

Yes!! Finally got it S-OFF but the the version is 1.17.1111 not 1.17.1011. Is it ok?

I finally installed Android Revolution HD, thanks for you guys for providing me much more information on the procedure. I have one last question, Is it necessarily to flash Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 to my phone? that is recommended by mike after installing Android Revolution HD
