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 return to Gingerbread you need to relock your bootloader.
Download and run the relevant RUU for you region and you are done.

Can do it all from fastboot on your phone.

Most probably your problem comes from the fact that you tried to flash a kernel/ROM while S-ON, and the kernel did not got updated, you need to flash the boot.img via fastboot if you are S-ON, so, the best thing you could do right now is to flash a new RUU and start over again.
Note that you need a RUU that is compatible with your CID. There is a guide by stona here that explains how to flash a RUU.
And for more tasks check the tools mentioned above

Thank for the answer..i really appreciate. I have 405 cid...i flashed a European RUU ( RUU_RUNNYMEDE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_2.31.401.2_Radio_20.70.30.0832U_3831.16.00.16_M_release_258303_signed).

So you successfully flashed a RUU and the phone still does not boot? What hboot version do you have now and what is the state of the bootloader? (locked/unlocked/relocked).
Also, please post what version of ROM did you have before this happened and what did you do before this happen?

Did not do on mine. I had ICS before with Hboot 1.28 and it downgraded back to GB because i did not make any backup of ICS. I had unlocked bootloader
and was s-off. That you will need is to relock you bootloader before installing RUU.
Use anders tool or just use adb command fastboot oem lock
But if you get problem then follow the steps with that custom hboot to be S-off. But just if RUU doesnt complete.
I wish i could help you in place. I did many things with my SXL and never bricked. Those phones can take much **** thant you think.
Are you S-ON now?

You dont need to be s-off. Relock you bootloader with fastboot. And let it be s-on

Your bootloader ****ed up mate
Sent from my HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio X315e using xda app-developers app

i ran into simlar issue some days ago , when i was playing with cm10.1 on it , the way ive got it booting , was that wrote in cmd:
fastboot boot recovery.img
then in the same folder you will need cmd.exe and fastboot.exe and 2 .dll files then it will try to boot into the recovery image you have on the pc instead of flashing it . then if that is a no go, and your bootloader is unlocked then write this :
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
then this again:
fastboot boot recovery.img
You can also try :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
then you will need a boot.img in the same folder as the cmd.exe
Hopes that will help you getting something to work again
