Again please don't take it the wrong way. first i appreciate your work, without it we wouldn't be anywhere. so thank you.
It's alright, I was just trying to make you understand that the JB method is not my work & that it is awesome, being the only method that works for hboot 1.2x..
Please post back with your results after you try S Off.. Thanks.

This tool looks promising. Thanks for this.
I m on Sensation XE with S-ON and unlocked bootloader from HTCDEV. I tried to write custom CID using tool but it went to error "Invalid CID". Do you know what could be the problem? Below is extract from command prompt.
Enter the CID: 4677

No worries man. I do not want to try wired trick for S-OFF, hence keep trying diff approach.
Please PM me, I can probably help you out. Explain what you are trying.
And just so you know, here are the pics for SuperCID & Custom CID on my phone. They both work.

This is just what I'm looking for. Root with S-On. Thanks for your work. 
Edit:
Oh my bad, I thought it'd be able to use this tool to Root while still S-On (like old version of HTC). I went through rooting (#4) successfully twice but the su binary is still not there. So need to S-Off still to root the phone (XE).

The tool is my work. The root method was taken from the One X toolkit (thanks to ganeshp)
You can root while S-on, go to this guide. Or if you are already HTC Dev unlocked you can download this PM58IMG.zip of 4EXT Touch Recovery and flash it via bootloader. Then download this CWM-SuperSU-v0.89.zip and install it via recovery.
Mate, my tool includes all of this. There is root options for recovery installed (The normal zip installation for busy box & SU) and also not installed (The method from the One X toolkit). Also, 4EXT is flashed in my tool using PG58IMG.zip, since it is less likely to fail.
Just letting you know.

My bad man, I had a momentary laps of focus I guess. (Walks off calling myself stupid....)
Thanks man, and yes I'm aware of that. But one has to unlock the phone with HTCDev prior to rooting, but I don't want to do it yet.
Hi, i'm trying to s-off a XE with 1.27 hboot with your guide but when JuopunutBear starts it gives me an error that the phone has no root.. Any help?
PS. I don't want to use htcdev..
PS2. I also tried this guide but i get an error in step 4 saying "The system cannot find the path specified."

Do you get the message that temp root is successful?
If yes, after this, does your phone show anything except the status bar?
EDIT: Anyway, there have been some changes to the code & I suppose whatever is causing your problems must be fixed.
I'll post with a new post when the revision is done, if you're subscribed, then it will pop up on your subscriptions & you can come back and download.

Hi again, i did got a message saying that temp root was successful but after that the phone rebooted so as i understand i lost temp root due to this reboot, right?
Cause if after the reboot i still have root then it's not temp it's permanent..
So maybe their is the error..
I'm subscribed and i will check this tread for fixes... BTW if i can help with logcat's or testing just tell me..

HTC Sensation/XE/4G Super Utility by kgs1992
THIS UTILITY HAS BEEN FEATURED ON THE PORTAL!
Read Here
NO LONGER SUPPORTED
I no longer own a HTC Sensation, nor do I have the time required to provide help and support personally.
v8.0 is the last increment for this utility. You may still use the utility at your own discretion.
12UPDATE v8.0 Released!
http://kgs1992.com/kgs-utility
Please take a moment to provide your feedback: http://kgs1992.com/contact-me
Known issues:
-At times window closes regardless of what option is chosen.
(I've misinterpreted how the exit code from the option menu is to be used which is what has caused this problem.)
Temporary fix: Close all windows. Make sure no more than one window is open at any given time.
-Juopunutbear file unavailable for Windows.
I'm sorry, I can do nothing about this. This is just Unlimited.io 's decision & I'm not going to be distributing copies of their files.
Please do not make requests for this.
-Installing the tool in Read Only locations like Program Files will make everything stop working.
(I'm deciding on whether to re-code the scripts to make them use the temp folders or to set the installation directory as desktop & keep it permanent.I am recoding batch files to use temp folder for temporary files. Also, will insert a system variable to use in batch files for referring to KGS Utility's installation directory.)
Temporary Fix: Go to the folder where you installed the tool, Uninstall it & install it on the desktop.
-For S-OFF on Hboot 1.27 using unlocked bootloader method, there is a constant message regarding "file not found/md5 error".
(This is due to an if statement which has the wrong file name in the exist condition)
Temporary Fix: After downloading the files needed, close the window & restart from the menu.
OR do what is mentioned in this post.
UPDATE:
I'm no longer able to make any further updates as I don't really have the time.
12Great...can work on hboot 1.29,i knw it says 1.18 but just askin
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA
Well, Revolutionary only supports devices with Hboot 1.18 or less.
Maybe if I modify this to make it work with other programs, it's possible.
EDIT: Yes, now works on Hboot 1.2x
Well, when I asked dexter, he was of the opinion that it should be placed in general.
And thank you
EDIT: Moved to Sensation Android Development10Fixes
Hboot ≤1.18 S Off, removing custom recovery:
Tacoroot won't work with custom recovery. You need to flash the stock recovery.
- Make sure that your bootloader is unlocked.
- Download this rcovery.img
- Put it into the tools folder. (If you get a overwrite warning, just replace the previous file)
- Run menu.bat & select option 3 (always select no for method 2). (Method 1 will install any recovery named recovery.img)
- Re-run menu.bat & select the appropriate options for S Off.
- If it fails again, then perform a factory reset & try again.
- If it fails again, It would be a good idea to run an RUU
