I am trying to unlock my HTC Sensation XL. Found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232107 which says I need Terminal Emulator. Clicked the link to download it but file doesnt appear there. Is there any other way of obtaining the Terminal Emulator file?
Erm. You might have to try your luck at the Sensation XL forum. Even if you have the file, you'd be flashing it on the wrong phone!

DO NOT FLASH THAT FILE YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!!!!!!!
You are in the wrong forum. This is the forum for the sensation xl:

Unless his phone was the only way he could access the internet and xds.
In that case his lack of a folow up might be the answer

i was under the impression that as long as you flashed the right RUU they couldnt tell if it'd been rooted and therefore not void your warantee???

What's ruu if you don't mind if I ask?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
RUU is basically the stock firmware they (HTC or carriers like t mobile) put on the phones, its a exe program instead of a zip file.

-Flashing different radios with different roms. (ie: there wouldn't have to be device specific roms and people wouldn't need certain hboots )
-Flashing a new bootsplash.
It'd be pretty nice to have S-off if I do say so myself.
S-off is indeed useful. I took it for granted on my old Incredible. I miss it.

Wondering if the revolutionary tool for the sensation can be modded to s-off the raider/vivid..
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using xda premium
The Amaze seems to have just been successfully s-off'ed so hopefully some smart devs can work some magic.
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G.
Its coming!
Looks like another dev (or a few of them working together?) is working hard on s-off for the raider - just saw a post over in vivid development forum with some screenshots of before and after a successful s-off on the vivid. It says "coming soon....." on the op!

Visit htcdev.com and follow the steps to unlock the bootloader . HTC has a simple guide which explains step by step process.
Than the simplest way is search for "xda vivid HTC super tool", in google and hopefully one of the links 1/2nd will take you to the right thread in this fourm .
HTC supper tool is easiest way to root your phone . I hope it helps.

Use the Superguide for Rooting
I just rooted my Vivid using the Superguide by Slapshot30. If you follow the guide, you should have no issues rooting.

WELL. If you think you will mess it up(very unlikely) I could do so via Skype if that's okay.

Great idea, I think I will work on doing that!
Ok so a dev made a tool to unlock bootloader, get cwm recovery and basically everything you need. Only thing missing is a simple step on actually perm rooting. So go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003 and follow those instructions. Read read read. When you finish unlocking bootloader (probably longest part of the process) you're going to get the cwm recovery which is really easy. Back up your stuff (just read the instructions) then go to the Superguide thread in the dev forum and download the vivid root zip at the bottom of the first post. Stick that bad boy into your ext. Sd card and boot your phone into recover (that tool has a button to do that but if you wanna learn.yourself, just power down, pull battery and inser again, hold power and volume down button until the hboot screen comes up, go to fastboot then recovery). I assume you backed your files and now.you will flash the root by installing zip from ext Sd card and flash the vivid root zip. You are now rooted! Reboot and check your apps for superuser. Yay!

I must say this phone with its locked bootloader is more complex than other phones I've owned! Stick with the supergiude and you'll be fine.

when i get it, i think i can make universal update.zip for any rooted device, only flash via recovery needed i think

i'd be wary of updating fota as you'll most likely lose root access, if you use it, and you might not be able to re root with the current method

The official was that the sensation and xe got it first then we got it a few weeks later. We will do but they want to get out the one series first which are looking up to be amazing from what I got to play around with.
We are getting ics with sense 3.6 officially which sucks. We need sense 4 on this device as its more than capable.

Hey guys!
Im thinking of buying the HTC One, but stuck between that and the Xperia ZL.
The reason i want the ZL is for the camera button and the UI - ESP. the UI, it's beautiful.
But then there's this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2101920
A port of the Z (ZL, same thing) Launcher. This can be ported to any phone. WITH widgets!!
Now, i love the UI, but lets face it - Every spec and stat of the HTC One is better than that of the Xperia ZL. I have let myself down by not going the top of the line before, lots of regrets. I want to stick to the One, but for this Launcher, i need to root.
Would this be sufficient to root the phone and install the launcher? http://theunlockr.com/2013/03/19/how-to-root-the-htc-one-m7/
or do i need to S-OFF
Please, anyone!
Thanks!
S-OFF is only necessary for radios and/or kernels
So no

Thank you! And if I want to unroot I would just have to restore the original backup and that's it right? Is there a way to unroot that you know of? I haven't found anything yet, any tips would be great

Well if you run an RUU it'll go back to its out-of-the-box status
Other than that, you can relock the bootloader, but it shows the status as "relocked" so reps would be able to see that you have unlocked the bootloader and suspect that you rooted at some point
