If you already have updated your HTC Sensation device with
official Android ICS v4.0 then you must have stuck with official Custom ROM and
must have lost rooted access on your HTC Sensation device. If you want to
install any custom ROM, mod and tweak the device then you must have S-OFF your
device. Thanks to XDA member TheSnakeX who has come up with the idea to root
HTC Sensation on Android ICS v4.0 Firmware. This root is also expected to work
fine on HTC Sensation XE device, but there is no guarantee of it. Check all
Pre-Requisites before rooting your device.
Pre-Requisites

Please, can you explain how to do the last step. I am confused over here.
Use commands to boot the device in recovery mode and flash CWM flash as well as Super user Zip File. You can also boot the device in recovery mode manually, turn of your device first and press and hold volume keys and Power Button.
First of all turn off your device and press both Volume Keys simultaneously and holding these keys press Power button. Now you have to select Recovery option in Boot Loader window. Use Volume Keys to navigate and Power button to select.
