[HTC Sensation] Hamster80:
Hello

I am new / a noob... [For Below I have highlighted what the issue is in RED on the code part of the issue]

I have looked on this site for three days running. I have made steady progress towards rooting my HTC Sensation XE, as a noob I have download alsorts of unecessary things and misunderstood alot of what is describe but I have done well so far - I believe.

Brief run down of things done:

- Installed all required drivers

- used this awesome guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1660831][All In One][Guide] How To Root...

- Follwed guide and currently down at Step 2.3 - open extracted zip folder and click runme. thats all. (if experience any daemon hanging problems pls install htc sync and plug in phone so drivers are installed. once done delete htc sync and repeat root procedure) PC will open a cmd screen with prompts that you need to follow. The app does rest... So its nice and easy

Ok so to the point of this thread.

I downloaded DooMLoRD's root.zip doo dar (Lack the correct terminollogy - Im a noob so handicap is allowed)

Extracted all files

Opened up the 'Run Me.exe'

A cmd pops up, with info of preparation before hiting any key.

I hit the any key and below is what I get:

--- WAITING FOR DEVICE TO RECONNECT

if it gets stuck over here for a long time then try:

disconnect usb cable and reconnect it

toggle "USB DEBUGGING" (first disable it then enable it)

ALL DONE!!!

Press any key to continue . . .

This restarts my phone but nothing else.

I have the su apps on my phone, I have root explorer too.

I've looked in the \system\bin and \system\xbin for an su or something titled su or su binary

Can't find anything so I am worried about that. - does my phone have an su?

Also from the code above it mentions 'cannot open for write: read-only file...' how do I change this if this is the source of the problem?

If not, further down it mentions not being able to copy 'superuser.apk' over - do I remove this from the extracted files and replace with a current version?

Please can you experts help me out - I have searched the forums but they only resolve other makes / models.

Additional info is I didn't S-OFF as I couldn't understand what to do, but skipping that step I still got this far so unsure if I needed it.

I appolagise for the lengthy post but it should help shortlist possible problems down abit.

Thanks for reading.
