[HTC Sensation XL] jeandujardin01:
did you install the android SDK then dl the drivers ?

- install Android SDK Platform Tools and Android SDK Tools from the SDK manager
[HTC Sensation XL] jammysunny:
Java and SDK might be right, otherwise no chance to unlock your bootloader...

You must zip it in your ADB....

Tapaswyped with Galaxy Note
[HTC Sensation XL] MOEHEET:
help me

wat i m supose to do
[HTC Sensation XL] jeandujardin01:
Windows 7 64bit ?

also turn off your anti virus if you have one
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Its obvious something has gone wrong. If you unlocked bootloader then you have sdk already as need fastboot to unlock boot loader. After uninstalling HTC sync reboot PC and then try again. If phone has been synched and all drivers installed i can't see the problem. I relocked my boot loader then flashed ruu file and did all over and not problem. Start over and follow instructions. I think you may have incorrect drivers here or not at all. As stated if 64 bit drivers are different
[HTC Sensation XL] luba6ky:
Ok, guys ...

After I enter "fastboot oem get_identifier_token." it gives me this error (look at the picture)

I stuck on this step and I don't know what to do!

I tried to reinstall the SDK ... same.

Tried to install older version of SDK ... same

I need a little help right now.
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Have you got HTC sync installed, if so you'll have to uninstall it or make sure its not running in the background because it interferes with the fastboot process. If not you'll have to install it to make sure you have all the proper drivers installed...
[HTC Sensation XL] luba6ky:
I think I saw my mistake ... :)

I'm almost done with unlocking ...

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

Well, my bootloader is unlocked!

Now ...

How can I lock it again if I have to bring it to servise.
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Type fastboot oem relock in the command prompt
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
New guys please please read the first page and follow instructions correctly. The guide assumes that you already have android sdk installed and htc sync for drivers. Before rooting ensure htc sync is removed and correct android 1.0 driver is installed
[HTC Sensation XL] luba6ky:
Yes, but if I'm not mistaken it says that this won't lock the bootloader like it was before. You won't be able to make changes, but the bootloader wouldn't be the stock.

May be this process is inconvertible.

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

By the way, I didn't remove the HTC Sync and I still was able to unlock it.

This error was because I didn't put all files in one folder.
[HTC Sensation XL] bryangopan:
Sensation XE( beats AUDIO)

One of my client has Sensation XE( with beats audio) will XL rooting process work on XE
[HTC Sensation XL] luba6ky:
Probablly not! Unlocking the bootloader is the same but for rooting I think you should check the Sensation section.

[HTC Sensation XL] DanTehMan01:
What is your actual problem? what part of the process has failed? have you followed step by step?
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
To me that doesn't look like its failed, have you tried a program that needs root access? If you have and you don't have root, a common problem is that HTC sync, if you have it installed, interferes with fastboot, so its always best to uninstall it then retry getting root...

how was it possible to unlock the boot loader from HTCDEV if the Sensation XL is not supported I tried and I got Unlocking Bootloader Failed!

Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.

Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won\'t work.

what device did you select?
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Just go to HTCdev.com and when it asks you what phone, select 'All other supported models' follow the instructions and it should work... well it just has done for me. I've just run through the sequence again just to make sure...

pls can anyone help me ...i tried but it says su binary update failed try again...i want to change fonts on my sensation xl...but unable to do it without the root...
[HTC Sensation XL] CorHaa:
Read

You have te be accurate to unlock, root and flash a custom ROM. Part of this, is to read well. The HTCdev-site says: "The following 2011 models launched prior to 9/2011 will be supported on this website. Devices launched after 9/2011 will be shipped with the unlock capability" So your choice should be: "all other supported devices".

The only strange thing I encountered, was the impossibility to get O'Brien's Clockwork recovery working, while Tenfar's recovery just works fine.
[HTC Sensation XL] dhruvzz:
why does it says me read onli file system unable to write everytym i try to root...it has unlocked bootloader and says s-on...still m not able to root it can anyone tell me why ???
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
What root method are you trying? Have you got unknown sources ticked and usb debugging on? Also if you have HTC sync installed, you will need to un-install it as it interferes with the rooting process.
[HTC Sensation XL] dhruvzz:
tried everything zerg root method ,htc super tool method....third party apps ticked usb debugging ticked.uninstalled htc sync ...but no use ...evertym i click on runme.bat it says device found...den unable to chmod.unable to write,,,read only file system...tried lockin bootloader and then again unlocked it but still doesnt help me.

It's ok dude. Follow vertigos guide to avoid any errors. Quickly just visit htcdev.org and follow instructions. Mine is locked to 3uk and followed guide with no probs

HTC DEV site not working when i press the green button that says begin unlocking bootloader nothing happens, i can't even sign in properly...what can i do?i want to unlock my bootloader
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
working fine mate as just checked. what browser are you using and have you got cookies disabled? also make sure you choose 'other supported devices' for XL!
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Software version 1.24.706.2 seems not to be supported by this root method. Sorry
[HTC Sensation XL] DarkAvenger1995:
Yea, it's so bad (

Does anyone know another method to get root on this version?
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Mate I tried them all lol

Super one click

Z4 and visionary - old but work sometimes

Tried evo 3d tool

Nothing yet
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Looks like it might have to be a downgrade before we can root with the newer stock roms
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
as i said to guy in pm and in the first page update that is the only way. i however remember someone with 02 de rom with 1.2x firmware sayin that he could not flash any of the roms in the runnymede thread. it may not be possible to flash 1.05.401 etc even with bootloader relock
[HTC Sensation XL] sasohamer:
What about software version 1.24.720.2 it's supported ?

I all ready unlock bootloader but i can't root my phone ?

I do everything how you say but nothing ?

What i need to do?

Any help ?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
None of the 1.2x software versions are rootable. You can try flash su signed zip from evo 3d forum or superoneclick. Let us know how you get on.

For now only downgrade seems to be option to gain root unless someone releases a rooted 1.2x stock rom
[HTC Sensation XL] MinecraftZombi.es:
I don't mind running 1.24.720.2 through Dsixda's kitchen to try to install root if anyone wants to try that...?
[HTC Sensation XL] sasohamer:
Thanks I gonna tray that solution and I gonna let you now!!!
[HTC Sensation XL] ODD BOY:
Guys ...

i did the bootloader part successfully ... but the root it cant be gain :(

the software number i have: 1.08.415.4

any advise ??

thanks in advance :)
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Hmmm pretty sure all the 1.0xxx software was rootable. Can you post error message or what happens when try root device? If not rootable you may have to try downgrade to 1.05
[HTC Sensation XL] ODD BOY:
Hmmm just the cmd script did what it should do, then the device rebooted... And the result is nothing! !

Regarding the downgrade ... How can I do that ... any suggested thread? ?

Thanks for your prompt reply :)
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Runnymede firmware thread in this forum. Try flashing 1.05.401 firmware after relocking bootloader. If successful root will be possible. I will be trying to flash the 1.2x firmware to try find a root solution. Id try rooting again
[HTC Sensation XL] ODD BOY:
thanks bro ... i tried this method before doing the downgrade and it works fine :)

[HTC Sensation XL] vnb28:
I am not sure if you where asking me, but i believe there is. I thought at first it was just me but i had someone else try it and I they had the same problem.

I have 2.3.5 software number 1.14.709.2

Kerenel Version 2.6.35.13

Baseband 20.5102.30.08u_3822.11.10.23_M

Build Number 1.14.702 CL217236 release-keys
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Thanks for letting us know about it... we will try to test it... if its right you might have to downgrade to an earlier build in order to be able to root...
[HTC Sensation XL] vnb28:
I know the plus would be able to root the phone, but whjat would be the negative if i do that?
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
There would be no negative because once rooted and when you've put CWM on, you could put a custom rom on your phone. Its just a case of having to put an older version to to be able to root and to be honest there probably isn't that much difference in them at the minute anyway...

But before you do you will have to make sure your bootloader is locked because you will not be able to flash an older RUU without it being locked.

Edit: This may be a silly question, but have you un-installed HTC Sync before you tried to root, because that can affect the rooting process
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
It's strange that I expect people to know that already lol
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Well he might have done, but I thought it was a question worth asking lol
[HTC Sensation XL] vnb28:
Yes HTC Sync was unistalled, i tried it on 2 different computers and had the same problem
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
Well all I can suggest is to relock the bootloader and flash an older RUU so that you will be able to root it. But you will need a region specific RUU, because we still have s-on and can't flash RUU's from any other region. Go here to find the stock RUU's

One Click Root for Sensation Xe

Hi, is there any One Click Root solution for the Htc Sensation Xe? this solution for the XL is quite interesting but I'm not sure is going to root my Sensation Xe. Does anyone have good news? Thanks

[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
This solution works for multiple handsets. It has successfully rooted xe as well as normal sensation, EVO 3d among others.

how do i get s-off?

i got superuser but still have s on so i can't make a backup image
[HTC Sensation XL] MadCobbler:
You don't need s-off to make a nandroid backup... There are 2 ways you can do it... but before that you need to make sure you have ClockWorkMod (CWM) installed go here to find out how too http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362648

You can either can install rom manager and get it to work with our current recovery, or boot into CWM and go down to backup and restore and do it from there...
[HTC Sensation XL] pressytcn:
i tryied with rom manager

but when it's about to enter the recovery i get

ocked

i got it i used the htc dev method it worked

but thanks anyway
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
Why are you using rom manager? Some function including any to do with recovery are not fully operational. This is because we have no official clockwork mod for xl. It uses the one we have here but may not be able to boot into it. Boot manually into it or use extended tweaks posted before
[HTC Sensation XL] pressytcn:

[HTC Sensation XL] hannemaster:
Hi guys,

My previous phone was a Desire HD and I had no problem installing usb drivers, android sdk and rooting my device. But now I have a Sensation XL and nothing happens when I plug it in my PC, yes it starts charging but I dont see an android device in device manager, or anything like "new device detected". Also it is not displayed in the list if you press the usb icon in the taskbar(where you can safely remove usb devices). Could this be caused by my previous usb drivers?

without the above solved adb can't connect to my device. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction to solve this?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation XL] hannemaster:
I solved the problem above..

I forgot to turn on usb-debugging... :)
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
lol was just about to ask that. also install htc sync and plug in phone, allow all drivers to be installed then uninstall htc sync. once that is done should all be straight forward providing your software is rootable
[HTC Sensation XL] stonesolouk:
So I have just bought a sensation XL (Software number 1.05.401.4). Got it yesterday, unlocked bootloader via HTC dev today and rooted via method in OP:eek:. Thanks to everyone here and the original OP for this. Next CWM, then snoop around for a cutom ROM to flash............:D.

Just for anyone who is also thinking of unlocking bootloader, the recent Android SDK lacks the 3 files required to unlock, but thankfully HTC Dev provided a link to an older version. So just download and extract the zip, then look in the 'tools' and 'platform-tools' folders for the required files.

It is also important that after unlocking, you re-install HTC sync then plug in your device to install the drivers. Once sync is set up, disconnect it, UNINSTALL HTC SYNC, then plug in your device and follow the instructions in the OP.

Once again thank you

** And for anyone eyeing up my sig and wondering WTF, just coming from HTC HD2: still keeping it cos methinks it is LEGENDARY:cool:
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
You are welcome mate. Some big things will be happening here soon. Vertigo is working on a cm9 port and ben is teying to port sense 4. Danny also has a few things in store for us. Soon as ics sources get released we will be off

Kicked off with Bindroid!:D.

@Shingers5, any word of Touch based recovery coming our way soon?

EDIT: Saw your reply on the Recovery thread. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation XL] lameazz:
Problem

I have one question for you guys.

I'm kinda new in htc scene :rolleyes: I have rooted my Sensation XL successfully, but i have faced kinda problem. When i connect phone to pc it dont ask me anymore in which mode i want to device be connected. In options i have selected that device allways should ask but dont work after rooting.

So computer don't recognice my phone automatically, i need manually turn on usb storage via widget.

Any ideas about that problem :confused:
[HTC Sensation XL] stonesolouk:
Disconnet USB from pc. Uninstall htc sync from your pc. Restart both pc and phone. Then connect phone via usb to pc. Pull down the notification bar on the phone and tap the USB picture with 'charge only'. Hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation XL] lameazz:
I have tried that option but still nothing. And in notification bar is only notification that the usb debugging is on, nothing else :confused:
[HTC Sensation XL] stonesolouk:
Sorry mate, didn't have any such problem when I unlocked and rooted yesterday. Try factory reset maybe? Or PM Shingers5. Good luck.
[HTC Sensation XL] lameazz:
I'll try.

Thanks anyway man.
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
You haven't unlocked your bootloader prior to root mate. Temp root unmounts your sdcard hence why it doesn't pop up when connected. The temp root option is not fully functional so if want root with working USB then unlock bootloader then attempt root again.
[HTC Sensation XL] lameazz:
Thanks mate, i have thinking about that too, it's true i havent unlock bootloader. Need to do it when i come home.

Thanks for help mate :thumbup: :)
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
no worries. Any thing else just holla
[HTC Sensation XL] sompoo:
Dear all,

I just completed rooted my XL and I need follow below step:

1. Unlock bootloader from HTCDEV official site.

2. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

3. Boot into recovery CMW then choose advance --> Fix permission

then reboot

4. enable debugging and Unknow sources

5. Root follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341127

Follow above step I successful unlocked and rooted by device because original step I found root not successful becuases permission denied.

Hope all enjoy.
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
You need to root your device at step 2 mate so recovery get flashed. No permission denied ever and I have tested this many many times
[HTC Sensation XL] lameazz:
Thanks for good instructions.

So when all these steps are finished, and bootloader is unlocked/device rooted, will anyway my device show me an notification when in my country will be an upgrade to ics available?
