Need original RUU for Sensation XL (HTC__038)

Hi.
I bought Sensation XL and tried to install the Arabic rom. I used the Gold Card method to install the Arabic RUU but ended up with white screen with HTC logo. I tried to change the recovery and the boot file but the result is the same. I'm not able to access the sdcard to install the customized rom.
Can anyone help me in finding the original ruu (India) for my Sensation XL with HTC__038?
Thanks in advance.
um
not sure about the india RUU but there are a few out there. you looked on the RUU collection thread?

Sorry. Didn't work. The ruu is not for the Indian Sensation.
Thanks anyway.

you must relock your bootloader
go to your bootloader menu with the volume down en power
open cmd on your computer
To re-lock your bootloader, in the command prompt, type: fastboot oem lock.
I already did, the problem I have is that after re-locking the bootloader need the RUU for the phone, but I have tried all and nothing has worked for me
Have you tried to do a factory reset? I know that I have some problems in the past after relocking the bootloader. Then I have did a fresh ruu install maybe you have the wrong ruu for your region

I dont think there is any T-mob GER RUU out there
you'll have to flash a CWM ROM close to stock
I want to install the stock rom because I installed some games and they are closed or are not compatible, but worked before installing a custom rom
anyone have any solution?

Why don't you install Alex's ROM, any games that work on stock should work with that.

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.

Ummar Hathaf

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!

[Q] How do I know which stock recovery to flash?

Bell Canada HTC One, want to flash the stock recovery back so that i can get the Sense 6 update. Phone is rooted and unlocked with HTC dev but does not have S-off. been running into issues with hboot 1.56 in that regard and cant get S-off to work. Anyway.

[Q] Stock Recovery for CID: SPCS_004

Hello, I have been searching for about 2 months trying to fix my issue and I have finally decided to give in and seek some assistance from this wonderful site.
Current Setup: HTC One m8 Harman Kardon, S-On, Unlocked Bootloader, CM11, TWRP 2.7.0.2 (Sprint)
End Game: S-Off, Running GPE Lollipop.
I believe I need to return my phone to stock in order to use Sunshine to S-Off and update my firmware so that GPE Radios will work. I have installed the stock Sense 6 ROM 4.4.4 (Wireless not working) but now am trying to install an OTA software update. (Currently on 3.30.654.2) From what I understand I need to install the stock HTC Recovery, however My CID is SPCS_004 and I can not find a recovery for that. Also, what is the process that I should follow when flashing stock recovery, Do I flash recovery and then install the OTA? Will I need to lock my bootloader? I am so turned around in this process that I don't really know what Direction to go in, any help is greatly appreciated.
tl;dr: I need a stock recovery for HTC One m8 Harman Kardon (CID SPCS_004) and can't find it anywhere.
I have finally figured it out!
For others having this issue that may stumble upon similar issues. I focused on returning my phone to stock.
Flash stock HTC Sense 6 4.4.4
Flashed stock recovery 4.16.401.10
I then locked my bootloader
Ran RUU 4.20.654.10
HTC then accepted and Ran the OTA
I am now on Sense 6 running 5.0.1 with stock recovery and a locked bootloader.
I will be making a back up (saving it to my google drive to avoid this issue in the future) and flashing GPE.
This can be closed if need be.
