Since I have received no useful response 2x different thread, I would like to put my question again from scratch. This may be usefull for many others!
My Device properties (on Bootscreen!):
***LOCKED***
RUNNYMEDE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.28.0006
RADIO-3831.16.00.16_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 24 2012, 18:59:39
Android Version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense Version: 3.6
Software-Number: 2.31.207.1
---------------------------------------------
So and here ist my questions:
1- First of all: I want just ROOT my device. I don't want to Downgrade HBOOT or Unlock bootloader or change anything. How can i do it?
2- Is there some simple tool like "DoomLord" for rooting??
I've had rooted my SE. XL with that tool as i had Android version 2.3.5 . without change otherthings.
3- can you tell me how I can save current state manufacturers? for warranty etc..?
Please help me, cus i can't find any tip to root my device without unlocking or downgrade etc.
I don't want to change anything because of warranty and i want do anything at any time undo.
Best regards @ all for your help!

If you don't unlock bootloader you will don't take root.
There no other way. Only unlocking.

ok! But then after that I must downgrade HBOOT necessarily subscribe or else play a Recovery?
I have to install a custom rom on it inevitable?

You dont need downgrade hboot. Only install the recovery.
You need made that.
Download custom rom what you want to install and put it to your sdcard.
To install recovery use this tutorial:

To go back to the original custom recovery, you would need to relock the bootloader (put the phone in fastboot mode and type in command "fastboot oem lock"). After you relock the bootloader, you will need to flash the correct RUU stock rom for your phone.
By doing this, the recovery goes automatically back to is original version.
If I can remember, when unlocking the bootloader, all your phone settings go back to its original settings (factory reset).
Please someone correct me if I am wrong!

How can i geht unroot? also De-Install SU ?!
2- I have relocked up my device but there is Bootloader ***RELOCKED*** and not ***LOCKED*** as in the beginning from factory!!.
That can lead to problems with a warranty, right?

1) to unroot delete su from /system/xbin and superuser.apk from /system/appl
2) Once bootloader is unlocked there is no way to make it show as locked again, only relocked

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.

Ummar Hathaf

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!

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
