1. Plug in your HTC to PC.
2. Go to the Settings->Applications->Development and check the box for USB debugging in your HTC.
3. Download All installation things from here. and HTC driver from here.
4. Run HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe, and install it(This is HTC driver installation).
5. You should see the following in Device Manager list:
6. Copy PG58IMG.zip and paste it in the root folder of sdcard.
7. Turn off HTC-> Pull the battery off-> Put the battery back-> Press Down Volume key,hold it-> Press down the Power button key…
There will appear the following question:
Do you want to start update?
Press volume up key(means yes)
Press power button to reboot.
8. Run CMD, change path to the downloaded file, and run the following(Note HTC should be plugged into the PC, in Charge Only mode):
> adb devices
My output is

9. Go to www.Revolutionary.io Click Download for Windows(revolutionary file will be downloaded).
Fill the form on that site, like that:

HBOOT version can be seen if you turn off HTC, pull the battery off, then pull it back, Press Down Volume key and hold it, then press the power button. You should see the screen like that:
There is S-OFF because I have already done these steps. You should have S-ON, now.
10. Return to our CMD(You are in the download file) and run revolutionary.exe
It will ask you the beta key. Enter the previously gained key from www.Revolutionary.io site.
The process should start, it will reboot you device several times and you should see S-OFF instead of S-ON on your HTC screen(picture 3).
Type Y value for the question and press ENTER.
11. Delete PG58IMG.zip from your sdcard. And copy su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip file into sdcard root directory.

You should see the Picture 3.
Press down volume key and chose RECOVERY, press the power button.
It should show the list.
Choose

and choose:
-su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
then
-Yes – Install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
It may show that the installation was aborted. Ignore it and repeat the steps from choosing zip file from sdcard.
Then Go Back and choose:

That is all…
