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!

Just to see things clear: reading the first post from Fardjad here, it seems that I can have a S-OFF hboot for my device just by downloading it from unlimited and pushing it to my SXL via adb. Am I right? I'm on 1.28 hboot, unlocked bootloader and got root. But my phone is still S-ON. Can I get S-OFF just by doing what stated here?
Thanks
Short answer - yes
Long answer - yeeeeeeeeees

Understood, tx :laugh:
So I don't have to do anything else. Then this means Fardjad script is no longer necessary (though credit still go to him for being the first one to reach S-OFF on SXL), since on unlimited you can pick up even older hboot with S-OFF and push it via adb, right?
Yep, just remember to choose the protected Hboot, that will stop RUUs and such overwriting bootloader, you will also need to relock bootloader, if you want to flash any official updates and RUU's, but once you have S-Off you can relock bootloader and device will still act as if it's unlocked

Ok, last but not least: do I have to flash the stock recovery before pushing the modified hboot? Or is it necessary only to go back to stock? Or even in both situations? I'm about to think that a stock recovery is needed whenever I have to go through a hboot swapping, is this correct?
Many many thanks
The new ones, on unlimited.io, dont require stock rom or recovery, it was the method fardjab was using that needed stock recovery

now please tell me what i need to do for start my phone?
Dont know if you found the answer but I had a similar issue.
Depending on which hboot you have, you might need to change a line in a file.
Check you hboot by booting into bootloader...
Power off the phone. Press and hold -Volume and Power untill the Bootloader screen appears.
(If the phone just powers up as normal, goto Menu/Settings/Power and uncheck Fastboot and try again)
If you're on 1.25 you will need to edit the vold.fstab file.
Use RootExplorer or ESFileExplorer and go to: /system/etc and open vold.fstab up in text editor and find this line:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 34 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0
where it says 34 you will need to change that to 33, save the file and restart the phone.

to use ruu you need to relock and s-on your phone but i think is better for you install a recovery (twrp) and install a custom rom this in 99,99% of cases resolve your problem
ive tryed to install custom rrom, dsoent work
