Hi guys!
I've been having this problem every time I try to install a custom ROM like BinDroid, BinDroid I-Scream, etc.
So far the only custom ROM that works on my XL is Coredroid. When I follow the processes of wiping data, cache and dalvik cache, and then installing the BinDroid.zip file, I always end up in a bootloop where the flashing lines around the bindroid logo just go on forever.
It really makes me wonder why Coredroid is the only custom ROM that seems to work. I've even tried IceColdZombie, but it usually just hangs at the white screen with the htc logo.
I really wanna try out the other custom ROMs, especially the ICS ones. So any help would be most appreciated. I'm pretty desperate as I can't seem to find anyone with the problem I have. I've searched for weeks, yet the solutions others seem to give don't work for me.
Help!
Did you flash the chinese boot.img people talk about? It's ment to solve this issue. But to be honest i never flashed it and custom roms work fine for me. Maybe someone who knows more about it can give you abit more info

where can i find the chinese boot image?
Yup, I've tried that way too.
Honestly I didn't even need to go through installing that chinese ROM when I had first installed Coredroid on my XL.
It's such a mystery why the other custom ROMs just lead to a bootloop at the logo.
I've actually tried the chinese ROM way but it just gets stuck at the white screen with the htc logo. So I always have to revert back to Coredroid.

You could try flashing the boot.img from core droid, or even use the stock one. After you flash a custom rom. You can do it from fastboot, using the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Where do i get the boot.img from core droid or the stock?
Download coredroid, and use 7zip or winrar to extract archive. Boot.img will be in the root of the extracted archive, you can do the same with the flashable stock roms in the dev section. Make sure you copy the boot.img to the same folder as fastboot.exe before you try flashing it.

No luck.
Extracted boot.img from coredroid then placed it in the same folder as fastboot.exe like you said.
Flashed bindroid.zip after doing a total wipe and THEN flashed boot.img.
Results? When it rebooted its now stuck at the white screen with the htc logo.

In the bindroid thread. In post 2 or 3 there are some none O/C kernels, grab one of them and flash it from recovery. It maybe the overclock causing the bootloop, some chipsets are uber sensitive to high clockspeeds/Voltages.
*edit*
Sorry im having a blonde moment, are you trying to flash the ICS bindroid? If so coredroids boot.img wont work, try the stock boot.img from one of the stock ICS roms.

Blonde moment? xD I totally got lost with the comment about chipsets and kernels.
Uhm yup, the ICS bindroid one.
Does it have to be a specific stock ICS rom? Like region specific and stuff like that?
'Cause I know there are Asian, Europe and Taiwan ones.
Im not sure whether to download the Asian one with the WWE or the TW. Would it matter?
* Oops never mind. There's only one stock ICS rom and it has TW, so I'm guessing that's the one I download?
Download the one danny made. It says "official sensation ics rom".

So basically went through the same process again.
Extracted the boot.img from the ICS ROM to the folder of where the fastboot.exe is located.
Total wiped then installed BinDroid I-Scream. Flashed boot.img, got past the htc logo white screen, but got stuck in a bootloop of the bindroid logo and flashing lines.
Damn, and I was really hoping it would work this time.
Did I do anything wrong?
Hmm thats a really strange issue im lost now. Maybe your going to have to wait for the official ICS update and try then
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using Tapatalk 2
Aww...
I was really getting excited to try out BinDroid I-Scream too.
Thanks for the help anyway
By the way, is it normal for the Dalvik Cache to say 'E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]' before wiping it?
Could that be an issue?
Yeah thats right. SDext is a partition used for apps2sd+. We dont need that because we have 4GB for apps

Ive just had a thought. When you flash a boot.img from fastboot. Does it report any bad blocks?

[Q]how to root htc sensation xl running android 4.0.3 OFFICIAL UPDATE
Alright so here's the deal I've got an unlocked sensation xl (using HTCdev) and now I want to root it can someone plz post a noob guide as to how to do it
You will need the root tool from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625841 which will need putting on your sdcard because it needs flashing from recovery
Then you will need to flash recovery in fastboot from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1216504&d=1343047739
Once recovery is flashed, boot into recovery and flash the root tool from there and then reboot
Once rebooted go to app drawer and look for SuperSU open it and it should say it needs updating just click ok and it should update and thats it.....
Thanx I'll try it now

Read this carefully and you will be know how to flash it.
I've been having no luck for a while in getting a sensation xl rom to install after building. One thing Ive been having an issue with is working out all the mount points that are supposed to go in the edif_defs folder for the kitchen and the other is with the update script. The one the kitchen builds ends up nothing like what its supposed to look like. Any help would be appreciated.
do get an installation error number (if using cwm)? ive had similar problems usually related to update-script or build.prop.

I am working on a tool that will :
root phone,
relock,
flash radio ,
flash recovery
Reboot
Logcat
Install drivers on PC
Perhaps make backup to PC and restore backup from PC.
GUI= graphic user interface
Aio = all in one
Wip= work in process
This is not to say that we not have useful tools already , it is only to provide a tool that only needs to press on some buttons and that is all. It will come like a app for windows and not inside a terminal.
If you have some idears to what should be included write as well and I will see what I can do.
It will be written in C# programming language. And will be simple to use.
I will some day, soon I think , need testers for all the commands so just write here if you are up for it

I could be beta testers but I suggest you write it in java so that runs on all operating systems

So you can use the app in MacOS/Ubuntu/Windows and pretty much any other distribution out there, and the Java language is pretty much the same as C#.
The main downside to Java is...write once, debug everywhere )

Perhaps when the tool is released, me and zasuk can try porting it to java instead. But then he need to teach me, so I can update the java based app also

You should also make an installer for it so it will check and install if necessary .net framework 4, in this way you could get rid of lots of possible failures because of .net missing.
Also, as a recommendation, (you can say i want to promote my projects but not really) you could add CWM 6 found in my tool, because you don't need to check for the right HBoot, as it works for all of them.
And soon i will feature a fully touch CWM or a custom variant of CWM.

I will try and look at it. And see if it will take to much space to add .net for all windows. If it does I will make the installer to open a link if it is missing . It was also my plan to add installer. Oh and yes it is your cwm recovery I have added. To avoid errors I have only added your cwm and our twrp, so we have the newest from each edition that is fully working.

Nice job, and about .net, i think there is a webinstaller that detects the version it needs to download and you can include that in an installer and with the installer you can give it a more *premium* look.
Also, you can make a shortcut via the installer, that can also come in handy, also with an icon

Yes i think you are correct about .net . have already planned to do that. But I need to finish it up first and test everything and also need others to test it before I will make the finish thinks like installer and so. After that I think I have found a plugin to visual studio that can build java from c# code but that is low priority as I will have a fully working product first

Let me explain how i do it by myself
1. First of all you must download and copy all needed files (Rom, GAPPS) and copy them to your SD Card.
2. After that you need to change your hboot from .25 to .28. (for this procedure I used XL Multi-Tool v2.1)
By changing your hboot your SD card will not work on the old Rom but don't panic
3. Go to Recovery Mode and flash needed files.
4. Enjoy your new Rom and by the way check your SD Card showing
Where do we get the needed files (Roms & GAPPS)???
