If you don't unlock bootloader you will don't take root.
There no other way. Only unlocking.
thx!
ok! But then after that I must downgrade HBOOT necessarily subscribe or else play a Recovery?
I have to install a custom rom on it inevitable?
You dont need downgrade hboot. Only install the recovery.
You need made that.
Download custom rom what you want to install and put it to your sdcard.
To install recovery use this tutorial:

To go back to the original custom recovery, you would need to relock the bootloader (put the phone in fastboot mode and type in command "fastboot oem lock"). After you relock the bootloader, you will need to flash the correct RUU stock rom for your phone.
By doing this, the recovery goes automatically back to is original version.
If I can remember, when unlocking the bootloader, all your phone settings go back to its original settings (factory reset).
Please someone correct me if I am wrong!

1) to unroot delete su from /system/xbin and superuser.apk from /system/appl
2) Once bootloader is unlocked there is no way to make it show as locked again, only relocked

I ****ed up and completely wiped my xl , i need to find the software or rom to reinstall the factory rom/software , any idea or links would help , i don't want to have a very expansive paper weight , it how absolutely nothing on the hard drive what am i to do ?
Wow how could you manage to wipe everything??? Does it go even in boot menu?
idk i was ****ing with it boot and now when i turn it on its just stays on the htc white screen , i think i just need to put some software in it ,
Have you unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone and put recovery on it? If not, that's what you should probably do if you don't have software on it. Download a custom rom after doing all that and flash it.

you will prob find it easer to just unlock bootloader, flash CWM then a custom rom.
Big prob
nothing is working ! remember that the only thing i see is the boot menu where you press down on the volume button and click power , how would i install the rom or sftware from their ?
Do you have recovery installed already?
1)If so boot into that and mount ur sd car to usb cable.
2)If you don't then go to fastboot, connect it to your computer using a usb cable, then unlock your bootloader, flash recovery and download a custom rom and put it in to ur phone through the method 1. Use the link I provided before.

I don't think it's possible to get your old rom back, so it might just be easier flashing a custom one. Generally better anyway.

Unlock bootloader
install this on CWR
See last time I was unlocked my Bootloader and I had installed the CWM Recovery on my HTC Sensation XL. When I was trying to flash the firmware, something went wrong and my phone has bricked. Later that I have given the HTC 300 US Dollars to replace the Main Board. So, Now I dont want to unlock my Bootloader which will void the Warranty. Even we relock the Bootloader also the warranty Void. It will appear as 'Relocked' when we switch on the mobile in Recovery mode. So HTC will not provide any warranty even we relocked the Bootloader.
Hence, I kindly want you to provide me an alternative solution for to get out of this issue. I will be thankful to you in this regard and I will donate you if you wish for to support you for your future developments.

Alternative solution for now is not possible without unlocking bootloader. So there are 2 options. You not flash what so ever, or you flash and there is a risk to brick the phone again
Finally I got root for my HTC Sensation XL by unlocking the Bootloader
Thanks for everyone who has helped me to get the root access for my HTC Sensation XL. After unlocking my Bootloader, I had install the ClockWork Mod Recovery and the Superuser application through CWM Recovery. Thanks for all.

My SD Card is not working on My HTC's Sensation XL after I installed the custom Rom
Today morning I had installed the custom Insanely Cool Sense Rom By Three Muskeeters and the phone was working really fantastic. Lot of improvements like more batter life, good Wi-Fi signals and also the Network radio and the fabulous performance. But later, I have found that my SD card only shows the size of 234KB. I was wondering and I had restarted my Device into Recovery and formatted the SD card which results the SD card cannot be mounted. I tried several times, but no possibilities. Later I restarted my device which doesnt boot into the Android OS. Now, I dont know how to reinstall my Backup ROM which I have with me over the ClockWork Mod Recovery. Because, I dont have the access to my SD Card to copy the Backed up ROM. Now what can I do?
Shall I have to give my mobile to the HTC Service center for repair? or if any other way to remount my SD card. I have tried to format and mount the SD card through CWM Recovery. But it fails.
Can Someone help me how to make my device works again? I will be thankful to you if you help me in this regard.
If I give my device to the HTC Service center, Sure they will charge me again 300 US Dollar to replace the main board. I am residing in United Arab Emirates. Here people dont even look at the phone to figure out the real issue. They use to say that you have to replace your main board in order to make your phone work. I have already paid 300 US Dollar before when I was not familiar with the CWM.
That time when I have given my phone to HTC Service center, My CWM Recovery and SD card is working fine. But I dont know how to install the Custom Rom Via SD card over CWM. Because of the device unlocked, they charged me 300 US Dollar to repair my phone. They told that I had damaged the main board of my device. I was really wondering that time.
Now, I really need your help guys. Kindly give me the proper appropriate solution to get back my device working. Thank you.

you have to install a stock rom which is in exe format after that just plug the phone and open it folow the instructions and the stock rom will do the rest.
PS your bootlaoder must be locked before flashing the stock rom.
if i was help full please press the thanks button it wont heart.
Idk if this would help but anders3408 has an ad card fix for common errors like that, give it a go?
And there is a method around the 'relocked' bootloader, if your device is bricked completely and 100%, download your correct ruu, and flag it, the install will fail but your bootloader will say 'locked' not 'relocked' there for reviving warrenty!

XL Multi Tool is working as it was tested, you need to be rooted and fully booted in order to S-OFF.
Also make sure that ADB is working (test using adb devices, if it shows something else than error, than you will know it works).

To install RUU:
SW version of RUU must be newer or the same as max version ever installed in the phone(including fota).
CID must match.
Bootloader MUST be relocked.
That is basically it. No point of skipping anything, the bootloader in the phone performs the check there is no way to fool it. Making it s-off is also pointless since RUU flashes new bootloader first, then reboots the device to flash everything else, your phone will become s-on.
How I fix this? JTAG.

Back in the day that I had major issues I did s off and everything then flashed GB ruu and it went fine. Ofc you will still need the correct cid or follow the guide in Dev section on how to flash a ruu with different cid.

It think it is much easier to flash CWM stock rom, then kill recovery and relock bootloader and wait for newer RUU. The phone will be "stock" basically.

Making the phone S-OFF if it does not boot is also a pain in the but))).

Making the phone S-OFF if it does not boot is also a pain in the but))).

Yes s off needs a booting system usually it will fail otherwise. Perhaps using dd commands from recovery or boot loader will do the trick but from me its untested.

I did solve this problem with a purpose brick then riffbox JTAG (full wipe, s-off, deleted recovery partition and relocked boot loader) also i noticed after tagging my phone, i was still curious about why it wasn't flashing the ruu, i downloaded the one dazz provided(ics) and i got an older version (GB) i tried ICS first.. Fail! I tried GB... Success i think it might be a corrupted ruu file, but then again the link that anders gave The ruu didn't work either...

you need to relock bootloader before you use rru,
fastboot oem lock

also you need the correct rru, or change your cid in phone, download the latest rru for your CID
also are you on vodaphone?
the latest rru is ICS 2.31.401.2 this may be slightly different for ausie
austrailian cids are:
023 htc
001 hutchinson 3g, optus
021 vodaphone austrailia
The ruu is the correct one (VODAPO21) and it does not let me install ICS based ruu
