If revolutionary isn't working make sure you have the correct drivers installed - you can download them from revolutionary's website.

If it still doesn't work, i.e. the program can find your phone but leave you waiting for hours without doing anything factor reset your phone then try again. It worked for me.

This is what I did to get mine off working:

adb push tacoroot.bin /data/local/tmp/tacoroot

adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/tacoroot

adb shell /data/local/tmp/tacoroot --setup

(it goes into recovery, just remove battery and reboot)

adb shell /data/local/tmp/tacoroot --root

(while on root mode,do the following)

adb shell
$su
su not found
#

(When this happens, get revolutionary to do his thing.... you will notice it will have normal behaviour)

And S-OFF is done...

No. Having the euro 3-pin charger has nothing to do with it.
No. Almost every tool is made for Windows. Deal with it even if "it sucks even more"
Windows computers are PC's but not all PC's run Windows. That overpriced (Personal opinion) Mac of yours is a PC as well.

If you really addicted to rooting, you would have searched and being a noob isn't an excuse. You didn't even bother to create your own thread.

Now putting my personal gripes aside, try to read and follow this link step-by-step.

i think i may need to do this method but where would i enter or find that adb stuff before i try using reveloutionary?

just did it

i was having the same problem with my new xe (1.77 stock rom). after googling and messing around with my phone for several hours. i finally got it working. now i'm s-off:D
i just wrote a little guide for myself in case i forget how to do it in the future:

S-OFF Guide for Sensation XE with 1.77 stock rom

1) setup htc driver or htcsyn.

2) plug in usb in charge mode, with usb debug enabled.

3) get into root mode with adb commands.
open command prompt, go to root dircectory (where "adb.exe" is) of htcsupertoolv3 folder. (download htc super tool v3 and unzip to this folder first)
type:

adb push tacoroot.bin /data/local/tmp/tacoroot
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/tacoroot
adb shell /data/local/tmp/tacoroot --setup

(press V+, V- and Power buttons on the phone at the same time to reboot the phone)

after reboot, type: adb shell /data/local/tmp/tacoroot --root

this will get the phone into root mode. then type: adb shell (it'll show "#" in the next line confirming root mode)

4) while in the root mode, run revolutionary.exe using the beta key generated from revolutionary.io

5) after S-OFF is done, return to normal mode by typing: adb shell /data/local/tmp/tacoroot --undo

hope this helps:)

I recently did this to my sensation... unlocked with HTC dev, but turns out you cant do much with that, so from here you need to:

1. plug in you phone with usb debugging enabled and find appropriate cmw version for your phone

2. use the environment you set up with the Dev tool to flash recovery (i.e. boot to bootloader and open that same command window with fastboot in it)

You may need to look it up, but to flash recovery from here, i believe the command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" assuming you have renamed the recovery. (this is in JTniggle's guide)

That worked for me, you now have custom recovery, make backups etc...

3. now follow this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494158 - credit to SDemon700 for making it, saved my phone :D

4. make sure you follow the sub posts in his guide... i.e. JTniggle's guide helped most - dont forget to flash su.zip as it enables root (flash through recovery after)

NOTE - to get the "stock experience" rom to work, i had to flash the boot.img through the htc dev environment
"fastboot flash boot boot.img"
The boot.img can be extracted from the rom's zip file.

Once flashed i installed the rest of the rom from the zip in cmw and the rom worked

And as said in the guide, from here revolutionary.io works perfectly

Hope that helps, worked for me and im now running virtuous inquisition :D
Good luck

Same problem.
I made 10-15 pcs Sensation XE s-off, then wroted cid, changed firmware (RUU, old firmware german T-mobile, new is WWE), then made s-on.
But the last product cargo (5 pcs) arent working. When I go to revolutionary.io, then beta code what I got is wrong, not valid. Not accepted.
I tried all the 5 and nothing. (HBOOT 1.18)
BUT!
I had a one of piece from the last product, and that's working.
So nothing has changed, I didnt forget how its making.
I think so, there is something new about Z715, and now s-off is problem.:confused:

After trying all whats available out there trying to root my sensation xe 1.18.0000 with the latest update, the only successful way at last is by using tacoroot, followed by revolutionary........
