I need to make it official in order to have touch, i've talked with people and it should be official at some point, just the one i've talked to is not to be found anymore, so we still wait. And we also have TWRP which is actually better than CWM, so use that one
Also, if i will be able to provide a fully working CM9, when i will start my work on CM10 i will get some nice Custom CWM with touch and all the nice stuff
.
Ok man we bielieve in your works ... We re waiting

problem
right i used multi tool to install s-off and all is fine..................phone needs to go back for warranty so i relocked bootloader as you should and tried to flash ruu.......no joy! in hboot screen it still showed s-off and when i tried to lock it again it said it was alreadyt locked. now i was confused. i then decided to flash hboot 1.28 which then resulted in the device finally displaying relocked - security warning. hooray i thought but no ruu install with bootloader locked is still failing error 170. basically the ruu cannot connect to phone so i can click update etc and done! i am sure this has to do with revolutionary.io s-off image. is there a way to remove that and i am sure that if s-off should be able to flash any ruu

Well, i didn't install any RUU as i don't have warranty and didn't needed so far a RUU installed, but as far as i know, you don't need to be relocked when S-OFF in order to flash a RUU, if you are S-OFF, you just flash the RUU without relocking or locking or whatever...

The way I did it was first relock with fastboot oem lock... Via my tool and then I ran the ruu installer and used it to flash back to stock. I did not tried the ROM.zip file via recovery but just the stock way and I was s off and I ended up with s on and relocked bootloader

As far as i know, successfully flashing a RUU on an unprotected S-OFF will result to an LOCKED not RELOCKED device, but as i said, i did not flashed a RUU on my device...
I did that on ny phone with the result of relocked.

How to install XL multitool? It says it requires MS .net 4.0. I downloaded .net4.0 and it says invalid signature. Any other way to install? Many thanks!!
This one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093082 requerese .net 4.0 to be installed to work, the xl multi tool should not requere anything as it is working from terminal.
this one : http://www.microsoft.com/da-dk/download/details.aspx?id=17851 is for windows xp , vista and windows 7. .net 4.0 is stock in windows 8

XL Multi Tool has no installer and runs on all platforms out there (Linux/Unix version is outdated and will be updated only if requested).
So, you just need to extract the contents of the archive and run the .bat file and you're done.
i think he have written in the wrong topic lexmazter
No problem, i just wanted to clear things up for future references
Indeed I am sorry I tried to enter ICS hboot from XL tool, some processes happened but its still s-on. I am htcdev unlocked running RunElite ROM. Thanks. Carry on your excellent works.

Any other suggestions are welcomed!
Tutorials/FAQ: For best perfomances, extract the .zip to C:/
Q: What should i do before using this tool?
Before using this, make sure you have the drivers for your HTC Sensation XL, for this you need to download this, install it and after that unninstall it, but without drivers, there will be an option to keep the drivers!
Q: What do i need to do in order to install a custom ROM?
1.Unlock Bootloader from htcdev.com.
2.Flash a recovery according to your hboot.
3.Root using the permanent root solution flashed via recovery, found here.
4.Flash S-OFF Hboot from unlimited.io.
5.Flash custom ROM with no problems via recovery.
All those things are found and can be done via this tool.
Q: Hi, i just downloaded this tool, how do i use it?
First, extract the folder of the archive in the root of some partition, example above and somewhere below.
After that, run XLMultiTool vX.X.bat on windows and LXLMultiToolvX.X.sh on linux.
Q: I want to change my HBOOT version, how can i do that?
First of all, you need to download the tool, you must have a rooted ROM, hit [5] Flash HBOOT S-OFF Unprotected and choose the version you want, GB is x.25 and ICS is x.28. You can always go back to the other hboot by using the same method here.
Q: I see you talk about some XLMultiTool vX.X, is that an eXtreme edition or something?
No, vX.X will be replaced with the version from the title of the thread, this is made like this to keep things clean over future updates, so there will be no need to change things all around the thread after each update.
Q: Hi, i just bought a phone what should i do now?
Well, you firstly need to unlock your bootloader, just go to HTCdev.com and follow the instructions to unlock your bootloader.
Q: What is logcat?
Well, you can pretty much use google for that answer, but to put it short, is that thingy that tells you what is happening behind the scenes of your phone.
It is usually used for debugging and entertaiment(?).
When you report an error/bug to somebody, it will be a blessing to provide a logcat (logfile)!
Q: Hi, i have an unlocked bootloader, what should i do now?
Well, you need to know what kind of HBoot version you have 1.25 or 1.28 or what Android version you have GB or ICS, to check the bootloader version you just need to turn off your phone, hold Volume down + Power button untill a white screen appears, if it appears a black one with some blue letters, you probably have a fake one
Q: What is a Custom Recovery and why do i need one?
A custom recovery is that thingy that let's you flash .zip files, use your logic and you wil get it why you need one.
(What version you need depends on your Hboot version 1.25 or 1.28 and preference - touch or classic).
Q: Why on Earth should i S-OFF my phone??
Because it is easier to flash custom ROMs, every official RUU available out there, any RADIO version and so on.
(It also keeps the BIG BRICK away)
Q:There are others guides/tutorials out there, should i check them instead of this?
If you manage to get things done using this one, no, otherwise yes, note that some could be outdated
Q: How do i root?
You need to flash via Recovery the zip found here.
Q: How to use your tool to S-OFF?
Unlock your phone, flash recovery, flash ROOT zip, boot your phone and hit the S-OFF according to your HBOOT version (1.28/1.25)
Q: What is the best HBOOT version out there?
Doesn't matter, does the same thing, but note that some ROM's don't have support for both HBOOTs and then you will need to flash the sdcard_fix.zip found up and down the thread.
Q: Why should i change my RADIO version?
Because some have reported that there is a better battery life on the GB-based Radio and a better signal too, test it for yourself, but you MUST be S-OFF in order to do this, and if you don't like it, you can always go back using this tool by flashing the different version.
Q: What kind of HBoot's are provided in the tool?
All the hboot's are from unlimited.io and are the unprotected versions, as those can be overwritten by RUU's.
NOTE: You need to be ROOTed in order to flash S-OFF HBoots
Q: I use the Touch Recovery 5.8.3.1 for ICS but where is mount usb??
There is no Mount USB for Touch Recovery for ICS, so, in order to get things to the SD partition from the recovery use QtADB.
Q: I just flashed a ROM and my SDcard is around 256kb, or not recognised at all, what to do????
Flash this .zip for your respective version ICS/JB via Recovery.

Special credits:
-It was firstly inspired from this tool.2
It is normal, it is the version of the S-OFF Hboot, but you can see the .28 in there, so you can see what version of HBoot you really have2New update, now you can flash RADIOS/BASEBANDS using this tool, it has the RADIO from GB and the one from ICS, as stona15 mentioned, the RADIO from GB is better for signal strength and for WiFi signal and battery life, just in case you want to test things, i've added the 2 versions, enjoy!11
Well, the steps are right, and bricking is not that easy anyways, read multiple times if you're not sure.
