Firstly, you will have to install your phone's drivers from htc sync, after thats done, uninstall it.
Secondly, go to htcdev.com and do the bootloader unlock process. Its easy to do so you might not bump into any issues.
Thirdly, during the process, you will have the android folder containing fastboot.exe. (Best put at c:\ drive)
Next, get clockworkmod recovery at clockworkmod.com (Find the one for your incredible s).
Now boot your phone into bootloader and select fastboot, and then connect into your pc. Open the cmd and type:
cd c:\android
fastboot flash recovery <path to img file>\recovery.img
(might wanna change the name of the img file for shorter typing).
Now grab a custom rom (like nik's trinity rom), put into the root of your sdcard and boot into recovery. Select install zip to sdcard, choose zip from sdcard and select the rom. (High chance for not having problems to do a full wipe and clear dalvik cache. Do a backup of your current rom via recovery at backup and restore > backup).
Now reboot back to bootloader and select fastboot. Get the rom that you downloaded earlier on, unzip and grab the boot.img file.
Connect phone to pc, open cmd and type:
fastboot flash boot <path to img file>\boot.img
And now you're good to go ^^
P.S. Clear dalvik cache again after finishing the flashing process. About root access, every custom roms will have superuser, so no worries.
Thanks to Lynt for this amazing guide. So I've created a straight forward version of it.

You can modify the title to include both HBOOT 1.16 and 2.00 as this procedure will also work for the latest OTA update.

You might want to add where to get the fastboot.exe file, or is it included in some download package when you unlock with htcdev?

Hi guys,
I'm new to the android world. I just got a HTC Sensation XL from a friend who says it doesn't work right anymore after he dropped it on the floor. So now I try to repair the thing, because I could keep it.
The problem ohone stuck on HTC Logo and won't boot. It's possible to get it in bootloader and it looks like this:
*LOCKED*
S-ON
HBoot: 1.25.0004
I dont get a connection to the PC, but after first time plug-in it installed the drivers.
So now my question is how can I get an new Ruu on this phone. What are the different possiblities.
Till now I downloaded this to versions:
2.31.401.2_Europe
1.05.401.4_Europe.
don't know which to use. Installed HTCSnyc to but it didn't find the phone.
So hope u guys will help me out
Thanks
Well I just tried 1.05.401.4but it didnt work. My CID is HTC_Y13.
Now downloading 2.31.401.2...
The 1.05 is for Gingerbread and the 2.31 is for ICS with sense 3.6. If you just want it stock and you are downloading 2.31.40.2 for europe then it should work. If it is not working, then take the long way.
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash a recovery
3. Root
4. S-off
Now after all this go run the ruu file and it should work.
Remeber after you have installed htc sync and you are going to try flash recovery or something , uninstall htc sync again.
Also a reminder , you can do the most of it via my tool, just not the unlock bootloader, that is still from htcdev.com but the tool will give you the code that is needed to copy into htcdev.com

Hey I don't get it. I want to try the "simple" way first. But what do I have to do? I uninstalled HTCSync now and unzipped zhe 2.31.401.2_Europe and now? How can i start this on my HTC Sensation XL? The phone doesn't get a connection with the computer. Should I put the phone in bootloader mode an then got to recovery ?
Sorry for this silly questions, I normally use an other OS instead of anroid. Maybe you can give me a link with a step by step intrduction or you can describe a little bit what I have to do.
Greetz
You will need to go and download it like an .exe file
The one you are missing for europe ICS is here : Download and boot phone normal and run the .exe file
if that link does not working then here and press the white button and this text : 下载
Hey thanks for the quick answer the problem is the phone stuck on HTC Logo and doesn't boot the symstem. Is there a possiblity to get a new Ruu version on it maybe with the bootloader? BEcasue bootlader starts and windows detects the phone.
then you either need to send it in or do it your self. Just unlock the bootloader and flash recovery, flash a rooted rom, boot it up and root it then s.off it and again from fully booted start the ruu file
Hmm ok than I have to do that, but do u have an step by step description what to do first, with what files?
Thanks for your help

I have now a cutsom ROM on my phone this one "Total_Senseless_SXL-v4.1.1"

What do I have to use to relock my bootloader? After relocking I can install this ROM's?

Or don't I have to relock it with the posted version of the thread? And I can simply "install" it like a custom rom?
Greetz
First i will like to ask you, what did not work with my tool ?
Next is try go to recovery and then mount sd card for pc.
Download my sd card fix from my signature and put it on the sd card and flash it. Then the sd card issue shold be gone
---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------
If it is from recovery that the sd card fails in then you have not installed a proper working recovery. You should be able to boot the phone up and then enable Debugging in settings on the phone and then press either CWM recovery or TWRP recovery in my tool and it should reboot to bootloader, flash the recovery then reboot to system again.
If it is not working for you. Please tell me it so i can fix it

Better to use TWRP recovery than cwm.

My bad. 1.05.401.4 worked just fine when I put S-ON back and ran the file when phone was in fastboot.
Hi after a second try it worked. But I didn't test anything. Just installed a new CWM 6.anything I think.
So in this way there is nothing to fix on recovery mode or sd card. I just worked wrong with the program.
So I'm still on this custom rom: Total_Senseless_SXL-v4.1.1
can I simply take one of this versions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791345
and do it like the custom rom update? Means wipe all data and then install this ROM from the thread above ? Are these rom's stock rom's? Don't understand it because the thread title says stock AND root?
I just want to install a stock (original HTC) version on my custom rom

Hi guys,
I'm new to the android world. I was playing around with my mum's HTC(was on ICS) and tried to root it, but im not sure if its rooted now, but i have ****ed the phone up hardcore
The problem is phone stuck on HTC Logo and won't boot. It's possible to get it in bootloader and it looks like this: I have unlocked it HTCdev.com
*UNLOCKED*
S-ON
HBoot: 1.28.0004
RADIO-3831.15.00.20_M
eMMC-boot
I dont get a connection to the PC, but after first time plug-in it installed the drivers.
So now my question is how can I get an new Ruu on this phone. Would it be fixed by me installing the ICS RUU.exe file?
I can't seem to find it i do have the code from the HTCdev, but i do not have ANY clue what to do..... Please help me out
To get the correct drivers that are needed for the phone you either should install htc sync then uninistall it again or you should go download my tool, it has an installer for drivers for windows, just not windows 8.
About the code from htcdev, that part you have used correctly. That is a bin file you used to get bootloader *UNLOCKED* and since its saying unlocked you should be good to go.
After unlocking the bootloader you can go to bootloader and flash a custom recovery. To do that you can simple install my runnymede aio tool and press either twrp or cwm recovery button. It will pop up with a box that says "Press Ok when in bootloader" and since you are already in bootloader you can just skip that part and press ok.
after it has flashed recovery it will try to boot to the system just go to bootloader again
When you are in bootloader you can go into recovery.
After that you can flash any custom rom but if you want to stay on a custom rom i will recommed you to flash to specific roms first, found in the "guide" in my Runnymede AIO Tool. And then after that flash any rom for our phone. I know it sounds a little stupid and is is also not cofirmed giving any diffrence but it looks like the htc sensation xl is much more hard to brick if these two roms have been flashed.
If you just want to go back to stock , then flash a custom rom and boot it up.
Then use the function in my tool from fully booted to s-off just remeber to use the one that says your hboot version.
A note here: Hboot version 1.25 = 6.25 and 1.28 = 6.28
after that is done boot the phone up normally and run a ruu.exe file and you will end up in a stock locked rom after that.
Thanks Anders3408 i have followed your instructions and have downloaded your tool(which works like wonders).
Now i am facing another problem. My current rom is a custom one (1.56.401.2), but it tells me there are no hard disk spaces and i keep getting Contacts Storage stopped message (even after i press send report to HTC or even if i declined it....)
I have a similar problem....i'm S-ON UNLOACKED....hboot 1.28.0006 ....i can only have fastboot connection...i even tryed an 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) but still bootloop! :/ I'm driving crazy!!!
ps: tried to flash a custom recovery but doesn't work!!! (during flash i was on s-on because i couldn't flash hboot s-off )...The phone has no root.

Did you relock the bootloader before you attempted to install the RUU?
If you did and that didn't work I would recommend installing a different recovery. Most ROM developers use TWRP which you can grab here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/164
then try to install a basic stock rom for your carrier, or if you are on T-Mobile, AT&T or any GSM carrier (including International) use any sense based rom like Android Revolution. Re-lock the bootloader then try again. The issue might be just that you have an unsecured or "unstable" kernal and the RUU doesn't like that.

buy a USB OTG cable, which is available in most supermarkets or on any site if u prefer online and costs abt $5. This cable is basically micro-USB(ur charger port) to a full USB port. Put ur rom zip in the USB, go 2 TWRP and flash the rom directly from the USB.

EDIT: after every reboot my pushed files are gone
If I assume you're still using TWRP simply click "install zips" and navigate to the file you pushed over. The phone should do the rest and you'll have a stock kernel and os to work with.

No He cant use that RUU because his hboot version is 1.55. you need hboot 1.44 to use that ruu and the only way to install that ruu will require s-off.
from htc1guru.com
You will need S-off to run the RUU if you have a higher firmware version on your phone currently.
You may need to flash hboot 1.44 before the RUU will install. S-Off Required.

Move the .zip file to your adb/fastboot folder of your computer
boot phone in bootloader mode, select fastboot, then connect usb cable to computer.
enter twrp recovery then open a cmd prompt from your adb/fastboot folder

The only problem is that these videos seems quite old and I don't know if procedure is still the same on newer versions of HTC One software? Currently I am running stock Sense software (Android 4.4.3, Sense version 6.0, Software number: 6.09.401.11)
Please tell me if I can follow these video tutorials to root my One even thou I am running newer software and if not which rooting procedure do you recomend for me?

If you are 100% stock at the moment then wait for the Lollipop update which should come to your phone very very soon, because once you root, the update will fail, due to unlocking the bootloader which resets the phone and also deletes the data / preload folder required to update.
However to root, just unlock your bootloader at HTCDev, during the process it will give you sone ADB and fastboot files, keep these, you will need them, then flash TWRP recovery, enter recovery, exit recovery, it will ask you if you want to root before exiting, say yes, when the phone reboots, open SuperSU to update your binary, done.
Thanks!

no, and never toggle, s-off costs $25 using sunshine s-off tool, and if you decide to go that way, never ever s-on again unless for waranty purposes.

Unlock your bootloader: follow instructions from htcdev.com/bootloader
Flash TWRP recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <filename>.zip
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then boot in TWRP and flash the latest supersu zip from TWRP recovery
the twrp recovery downloads as a .img file
:crying:
am I using the correct download, the
C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0.2-m7.img
error: cannot load 'twrp-3.0.0.2-m7.img'

the twrp file (yes its a .img file) must be in the same folder where you have adb.exe and fastboot.exe installed on your computer.
"Error: cannot load" = I can't (fastboot) find the file you're talking about
most probable causes:
File not in the right folder
Typo in the file name
I have been distracted..... it has flashed the twrp img file.
how do I
"3. Then boot in TWRP and flash the latest supersu zip from TWRP recovery"
I have the supersu.zip file saved in the same folder on PC.
thankyou for your time and patience alray

You need to transfer SuperSu.zip to your phone. Then reboot to TWRP recovery and flash the file. Reboot, and you're rooted
