I am not sure if you where asking me, but i believe there is. I thought at first it was just me but i had someone else try it and I they had the same problem.
I have 2.3.5 software number 1.14.709.2
Kerenel Version 2.6.35.13
Baseband 20.5102.30.08u_3822.11.10.23_M
Build Number 1.14.702 CL217236 release-keys
Thanks for letting us know about it... we will try to test it... if its right you might have to downgrade to an earlier build in order to be able to root...
I know the plus would be able to root the phone, but whjat would be the negative if i do that?
There would be no negative because once rooted and when you've put CWM on, you could put a custom rom on your phone. Its just a case of having to put an older version to to be able to root and to be honest there probably isn't that much difference in them at the minute anyway...
But before you do you will have to make sure your bootloader is locked because you will not be able to flash an older RUU without it being locked.
Edit: This may be a silly question, but have you un-installed HTC Sync before you tried to root, because that can affect the rooting process

Yes HTC Sync was unistalled, i tried it on 2 different computers and had the same problem
Well all I can suggest is to relock the bootloader and flash an older RUU so that you will be able to root it. But you will need a region specific RUU, because we still have s-on and can't flash RUU's from any other region. Go here to find the stock RUU's

This solution works for multiple handsets. It has successfully rooted xe as well as normal sensation, EVO 3d among others.

You don't need s-off to make a nandroid backup... There are 2 ways you can do it... but before that you need to make sure you have ClockWorkMod (CWM) installed go here to find out how too http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362648
You can either can install rom manager and get it to work with our current recovery, or boot into CWM and go down to backup and restore and do it from there...

Why are you using rom manager? Some function including any to do with recovery are not fully operational. This is because we have no official clockwork mod for xl. It uses the one we have here but may not be able to boot into it. Boot manually into it or use extended tweaks posted before

22*** unlocking bootloader from HTCDEV site is highly recommended for a permanent root solution***
1. enable usb debugging from settings - applications - development
2. plug phone to pc via usb cable - charge only
3. open extracted zip folder and click runme. thats all. (if experience any daemon hanging problems pls install htc sync and plug in phone so drivers are installed. once done delete htc sync and repeat root procedure)
PC will open a cmd screen with prompts that you need to follow. app does rest
4. After root is complete pls visit market and update SU app. once done root will be fully functional and eliminate any future FCs
5. Also as an extra tip you can install SU UPDATE fixer from market to update your binaries to 3.0
ALL DONE
***************** this isnt my work and i take no credit for it. i tried it and the results were good so i am sharing it. period*****************
****please see anzhi thread for clockwork mod and chinese boot.img and rom needed prior to flashing cappy's rcmix3d rom. files needed are posted by me in his rom thread!****
Update:
Software version 1.24.709.2 doesn't seem to be rootable via this method. Please try flashing another ruu from runnymede rom thread then attempt root again

Added V4 of the Doomlord Exploit as may be why XL was rooted without bootloader being unlocked.
well i relocked my bootloader and flashed ruu 1.05.404 then I used Doolord V4 to root my phone. This was succesful in permanently rooting my phone without unlocking my bootloader. This was not possible with V2 so if anyone wants to root without unlocking bootloader this is now possible using V4 of the Doomlord Exploit attached below. PLEASE NOTE THAT STILL NEED TO UNLOCK BOOTLOADER TO FLASH CUSTOM ROMS AND RECOVERY4Root tool in this post for the newer hboot and official updates

1) Unlock Bootloader
2) Download .zip attached, Extract recovery_for_1.28.img from the .zip
3) Copy recovery_for_1.28.img to the same folder as fastboot.exe
4) Open a command window (Shift & Right Click)
5 In the command window type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery_for_1.28.img" (without quotes)
6) type "Exit" and disconnect phone
22ive just unlocked my bootloader with the HTCDEV site it worked wonderfully, now how do i go about custom recovery and permaroot
