[Q] Two little questions - HTC Sensation XL

1.I want to format my SD Card on the SXL not throu the PC but throu the Settings in the XL. Would I have to install qlockworkmod recovery after formating it?
2. I found one how2 to lock bootloader and install original firmware on the xl but how can i find the right RUU for it? There are 3 one for Europe and I cant download them from filefactory... My Sensation XL was buyed in Germany and its not Brandet.
Sorry for my bad English!!!!
I would be very very lucky if someone can help me

If you intend to relock bootloader you will loose CWM anyway.

Yes i Know this but I dont want to lock him next time I just want to have everything ready downloaded if i would need it.
But thanks for caring about it.

You can format your SD card through the system menu under storage. As far as locking your phone again, I cannot help as I only unlock

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.

Yup if you look in the development section there are two tutorials on how to root. although some version aren't root able so have a look.

Just to make things a bit clearer, because this thread comes up as the first result on google searching "Stock ICS root Sensation XL"
- DOomLords v4, and v2 do not work. Gingerbread only.
- Shingers method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1625841 does not appear to work for me, get a black screen when booting to recovery after flash, adb works, minimal system, no way to flash anything from /sdcard/.
I'm sure it'll be possible eventually, but I've given up for tonight

Relock bootloader (fastboot oem lock) then flash a stock RUU. Now you can upgrade to ICS

I've tried,failed.it shows assert failed.
I changed the update script,it still assert failed.
maybe CWM 5.0.2.8 doesn't support this kind of assert and apply_patch?
you can install this with stock recovery only i think
have a look at this guide
[GUIDE] Get Stock Recovery/Install OTA Updates without losing data
yes it is posible , I relocked the bootloader , installed the stock ROM , and update to android 4 over the air , now I have the official android 4on my phone .

You need S-off to flash radio so for most users it's pretty useless

how to know the original ROM for my sensation xl

hi all
i got an sensation xl and i flashed a developed rom
my device is working properly but the battery consumption is not normal and the full charge battery will be consumed after 6 hours which is not normal compared to my other device one x - i think it is because of the flashed rom
now i want to install an official rom for middle east but that is not possible as the s-off is not available yet. accordingly i have no choice only to install the original official rom for my sensation xl - but, the problem is i dont know the source region of my device
so is is it possible to know the official rom from the device serial number or IMEI?
or if any body tried a cocked rom which is stable and have low battery consumption please advice also
thanks
You can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559683.
Frankly i didn't flash any but users report good thing about Alex and Musketeer rom's. Try them out
Look for your CID and you will know the region.
