been trying to root my phone now for about a week really like this phone doom lords root doesnt seem to work always read only cant complete actions, have tried manual root with gingerbreak and a few others just gets stuck after i execute if anyone could throw me some tips it would help, have torn through these forums and havent seen anything really done with the kt korean rom.

If DooMLoRD root not working, your sw is probably unrootable for now..

This exploit seems to work for many devices and we are lucky it worked on some XL software versions. Hopefully one day soon we will have s-off so people can downgrade to rootable software versions.

Flashing a ROM

Hello,
please tell me how to flash a custom ROM if sensation XL doesnt have SD-card at all?
As all the installation instructions say "install from SD-Card".
I´ve rooted and unlocked and flashed CWM recovery already.
Thank you

If u look better is the name of the internal 8gb storage "sd-card", if u connect phone to comp. u will also seen it.
Put the rom on it and flash it.

Also seen in Settings/storage

Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e

answer..

i got this off HTCdev.com

Why is my security still on (S-On) after I have unlocked my bootloader?

Your device is shipped with Security on (S-ON) to protect your system software configuration (such as the bootloader, radio, boot, recovery, system and others). After you have unlocked the bootloader, however, you will have lifted the restrictions on boot, recovery and system. This means you can customize boot, recovery and system images on your phone as you desire. You can easily see that you have successfully unlocked the bootloader by looking at the top of the screen when entering the bootloader screen. Security is left on to protect things like the radio, and SIM lock.

it says that boot system and recovery partitions unlocked so can i flash using fastboot?????

also i have unlocked the bootloader

Big thanks, that helped and solved my problem.

Some custom roms can be better/faster or/and in most cases they are.
To go back to ctock rom, u need at first to relock bootloader, then install stock ruu.
Here u have good instructions for lockin BL starting at point 6.

hello,
i have a sensation xl all stock.
not rooted, s-on and all.
for some reason, now it stopped booting, i get the htc logo, and then a black screen

i'm trying to s-off to be able to flash clockwork or something to flash a new rom or anything to make it boot.
( i tried factory default from the menu after pressing power+volume down, it gave same results, htc logo and then black screen)
any solutions ?

thanks

lameazz · Apr 22, 2012

Have u tried to install stock ruu for your region?

Sent from my GT-S5830 using XDA

Democrat · Apr 22, 2012

how can i do that while i'm not rooted, have no recovery, and ss-on ? :S is there anyway to flash anything ?

lameazz · Apr 22, 2012

yes u can, you need to install stock ruu (with computer)

here you have stock ruu files depends on your region
download it and install it

http://www.filefactory.com/f/2c6cbf04d4909b70/

and here a thread how to make it right (step 7)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24364694&postcount=1

When you're in fastboot and your phone is connected to the PC and you've downloaded the correct RUU for your region (they are region specific) double click on the RUU.exe and that should start the procedure of flashing the stock image back to your phone.
