How to root my htc sensation xl? - HTC Sensation XL

Hi to all,
I got a HTC Sensation XL
HBoot Version is 1.28.0004
System Version is 4.0.3, HTC Sense 3.6
Kernel Ver. is :
3.0.16-g5c46adc
[email protected]#1
Mon Apr 2 16:58:23 CST 2012
I have already unlock my bootloader.
When I install CWM Recovery, I get no error. But when I entered the RECOVERY, I got BLACK SCREEN.
Any suggestion for me? Or which version of CWM should I install?
Very thanks for your helping, and apologize for my poor English.

Head to this website, and dowload the recovery at the bottom of the download section. This is the correct recovery for your hboot version

There for the S-Off hboots, you don't need them to install the recovery. But the protected hboots are write protected, so if you flash an official update, or RUU. The S-Off hboot will not be overwritten. If you flash an unprotected one, you will be returned back to S-On status after an official update.

Good luck. If you get signature errors when you try next time it means you need the correct RUU and are using the wrong one. But we will wait to see if that happens
Relock bootloader and flash correct ruu for your device. It will flash correctly. Why not try a custom Rom with Arabic support instead of trying to modify stock rom after root. Once you backup your stock rom can always revert back

Right...
Also do not replace any lib files that are not from the rom... You can extract the proginal rom from the ruu.. and patch the files with rtl autopatcher.. avaible in xda

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

Don't forget the apps with the Rom will be slightly different. They'll be more specific to Europe

If your device is s off you should be able to go back to GB ruu. Just go to htcruu.com and find a ruu for Runnymede, it should be named something with Europe and then take the one with smallest number

There are several ways. But why back to stock GB ROM?
1.
Unlock boot loader, flash recovery and then flash a custom GB ROM
2.
Still unlock and flash and root and then s off and then run the ruu file you like.
All can be done with my tool easy. It will just not flash ROM for you. Also look in the thread for info.
If you want custom ROM then the safest way I know is after you have rooted your device and makes it s off , download the Chinese ROM and rcmix ROM I have linked to in my thread.
When you have flashed Chinese ROM, let it boot up and pick English, go to developer menu and enable debbuging for USB and reboot to recovery, also done easy with my tool, and flash rcmix ROM and do the same. When you have flashed both and are in recovery, flash any ROM for sensation XML , but remember to do it as written in the thread where ROM is downloaded.
