[Q] rooting my sensation (hboot 1.27 & firmware 3.32)

Hello friends
After going through so many guides here and elsewhere, I have become a little confused by something.
I have the hboot version 1.27 and firmware 3.32. Therefore I would be using the guide by auggie2k to gain S-OFF (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614617)
but not this guide by Jon.W (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870233) as it is for firmware 3.33 - Correct me if I am wrong.
So assuming Auggie2k's exploit to be used, but first I need to be HTCDev unlocked (no problems here). And then I have to be "rooted".
Now, I am simply a par noob so please help me rooting my device.
do I have to download a fastboot package and clockworkmod recovery image and also SuperSU. And then flash the downloaded CWM recovery image with the help of fastboot package, then rebooting the device in recovery mode with the same recovery image?
Is there any handy guide for "rooting" only on these forums for htc sensation (I am getting a few methods on google search but to be honest I dont trust anyone else than xda-developer users).
Ask me any questions if you have any.
Thanks a lot.

[Q] How to Root Asia (HK) HTC One XL ?

Seems like the guides here are geared towards the AT&T (US), Rogers (Canada), and Telstra (Australia) models.
I'm completely new to this so I don't want to do something blindly and pretty much all the guides I see are saying they're specifically for models from those carriers.
I have unlocked the bootloader via HTC's own tool and tried the solution posted here (najmus99.blogspot.hk/2013/04/how-to-root-htc-one-xl-asia.html but it doesnt seem to work)
INFO
Stock ROM
HBOOT 2.17.0000
firmware version is 5.08.708.3 (latest stock OTA update available to me)
S-On
Apologies if this has come up in another thread before but I have searched and couldn't find it. I would really appreciate if anyone could suggest a solution or point me in the right direction.
I'm not opposed to flashing a custom rom if it gives me root access but this is still my daily driver until the Xiaomi Mi3 becomes available in Hong Kong so I'd rather not switch to something too buggy (atleast not yet)
Many thanks to everyone for your help in advance !!

If you have an unlocked bootloader already you just need to install TWRP recovery so you can flash SuperSU. Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can enter TWRP and install SuperSU on your phone.
PS. Questions go in the q&a section, in future please post in the right section. I'll ask for this thread to be moved.

Well done on getting all that done, great work. In order to change your CID you will need to get s-off first, you will have to use the Rumrunner method which you'll find here:

Ah OK because at other HTC phones I had to change CID before S-OFF.

For the Facepalm method, yes you need SuperCID first. But for Rumrunner you don't need SuperCID first.

Backing up factory rom
Hi I am a newbie to unlocking rooting and all. So please bear with me.
My doubt is whether we can backup the factory ROM presently in the phone and try custom ROMs.

You can do a nandroid, it is a backup made by the recovery you will install during the process.
Since I'm a noob too, I suggest you use hasoon2000 tool and follow literally step by step his instruction, and everything will be fine.

Help

If you're constantly getting ERROR 155 when trying to flash an RUU even though you've already returned your phone to stock, you also need to RELOCK the bootloader!
I'm writing this because for some reason just getting the phone back to stock (i.e. restore image of stock ROM through custom recovery then flash stock recovery) didn't work for me. It only worked after I RELOCKED the bootloader.
Step 0. Restore your phone to stock FIRST, i.e. restore stock ROM from image using custom recovery then flash stock recovery.
Step 1. Restart your phone into bootloader either by hard-off (i.e. keep power button pressed for min. 10 sec) then volume up + power button or by adb at the command prompt:
Code:
C:\> adb reboot-bootloader
Step 2. Type this command at the command prompt:
Code:
C:\> fastboot oem lock
Don't worry if it says FAILED anywhere in the output, it should all be fine regardless. The phone should reboot automatically into bootloader and should say RELOCKED.
Now you can flash any RUU (EDIT: only if compatible with your CID) and you can also check for and install OTA updates. Once you've done this, your HBOOT and RADIO should be updated to the latest version so you can UNLOCK again using the HTCDev method and then flash whatever you want to flash.
Hope this helps you guys!
P.S. I think it's worth also trying this for other ERROR codes... you never know, it may help.

Partial Noob Q(HTC Evita) Ruu selection and usuage issues

Goodevening,
I know my question may have been probably answered in other posts but I find most of the replies confusing hence I want to ask my questions accordingly and hope this wonderful community grant me answers accordingly
My details are
**Locked**
Evita_UTL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-1111111
HBOOT-2.10.0000
Radio-3.12.38.00.24
0penDsp-v33.1.0.45.11.28
eMMC-boot
Build no:5.08.111.2 cl227463release-keys
Running viperxl 4.2.0
Twrp 3.1. Custom recovery
All through my time flashing custom roms I have never paid attention to my hboot version (i flash mainly viper roms that's why). The only time I did was on my HTC sensation and that was using the pg32...zip file which was automatically detected by the bootloader.
However on my evita device, the bootloader does not scan for zip files(which I think is due to the lack of a removable sd)
I attempted flashing cm 12 and 12.1 partion mod and snapshot roms as unwanted to upgrade to lollipop and nougat (cm 14) they all failed
I skipped the hboot warning using my attitude to sense roms and attempted to flash , it never went through from hboot warnings to evitax schemes and twrp modified for such. Going to the ruu thread even added to more confusion as I can't identify the appropriate 3.18 ruu file for my device
I am really afraid and confused especially after I bricked my HTC my touch4g some years back attempting to flash a ruu file
My questions are
1. Can someone direct me to the appropriate 3.18 ruu file for my device using my details above.
2. I heard flashing a ruu file clears sdcard,custom recovery etc , since I am running a custom Rom ,will the Rom be affected in any way (will it still boot).
3. Am a novice as regards adb and fastboot all my roms have always been manually flashed (thanks to twrp manager). Is there manual means of flashing the ruu file?, if not can I get concise instructions on how to flash via adb as well relevant downloads.
4.how do 1 flash the twrp that supports evitax scheme.
5. Is there a possibility of the existence of a lollipop sense Rom for HTC evita even if it is modded by an individual on any site (like kosta26 still does for HTC sensation of the vipers thread) please point me to it. (even a viper xl mod is appreciated)
6. Any other helpful suggestion will be well appreciated.
Thankyou very much , I anticipate your concise replies

It seems after using cid getter that I have found out that my cidlist is T-MOB101
Modelid is pj8311000 and project is Evita_UL_JB_50_S all pointing to
T-Mobile/Deutsche Telekom Germany (CID: T-MOB101; MID: PJ8311000)
But my hboot still has evita utl
Am confused please can someone answer my questions.
Always known this forum to be vibrant

please can someone just be kind enough to answer my questions
cc m0nax, turge, j to the 4n etc

Can someone please help me here, a few minutes of your time won't kill please
