[Q] Hi, is there anyway to root my XE?

[danamnic]

Hi, I have a XE and I want to see if I can S-Off/root it. (Without HTCDev, as that wouldn't work, and no Juopunutbear because I don't want to do anything too messy.)
My HBOOT reads as fallows:
*** LOCKED ***
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
eMMc-boot
Jan 13 2012, 17:33:34
Any help?
Also, I'm good with rooting/S-off and can get my way through adb.

This is what I get when I run Revolutionary:

Found your device: HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e (pyramid-1.27.0000, A
ndroid: 4.0.3, ROM version: 3.32.206.112)

Your device: pyramid, with HBOOT 1.27.0000 is not supported at this time.
Press (almost) any key to exit.

So that didn't work

What's so bad about junoptobear, the wire trick?

Mostly because I just got this one under warranty from HTC because my last one got hard bricked, and I don't wanna screw it up again

Hey,
There is only one method for you, & that is JuopunutBear with temporary root.
If not for this method, there is nothing else.
You will find it very hard to do the wire trick because your bootloader cannot be unlocked; if you can come to the JuopunutBear Support Channel (Link in signature), we can help you out.

Unfortunatly there are not many solutions for rooting with that hboot at this time.however many people have been successful at using junoptobears method. However if your not comfortable with it than don't do it. You must be comfortable in the method you use. Revolutionary does not support that Hboot as of now but who knows in the future they might.looks like your options are quite narrow if you want to root right now. Perhaps someone knows of another way around this. If not I would read the guide and try to become more comfortable with your options. It just depends on how important it is to you to be able to be rooted. If its important than read up and hopefully you will soon be more comfortable with the wire trick. Whatever you decide I wish you the best...
