HTC Sensation root resources

We know a lot of you have been coming to our site, hoping to find out how to root the HTC Sensation.  HTC is still planning on rolling out an update to the Sensation which will unlock the phone’s bootloader, but if you want to tinker with some of the things the development community has been playing around with, we’re put together a little cheat sheet for you so that you don’t have to spend too much of your time looking around for the right solution. Most current solutions only give you temporary root access on the HTC Sensation, but we guess that’s better than nothing.  Remember, rooting (or attempting to root) your phone can be a very dangerous and tricky affair which should done lightheartedly.
