How To: Root HTC Sensation XE Official ICS ROM HBoot 1.27.000 With S-ON

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Assalamualaikum. Last night I was searching for some how-tos to root my Sensation XE since I upgraded to official ICS without rooting first. Thanks to TheSnakeX I finally found the one that really works. For information, the best way is to S-OFF this android beast first using Revolutionary tool. However, this awesome tool does not support HBOOT 1.27.00. There is one way to S-OFF without using the Revolutionary, however it requires the phone to be rooted first. So, this is the How To root Sensation XE without S-OFF the device.
