not sure if this is what everyone is already doing, but I was trying to figure out how it might work

fastboot oem unlock
flashed clockworkmod recovery
boot into recovery nandroid backup stock non-rooted os (just in case )
flash su-2.3.6.1....zip
nandroid backup again

Caution with the 3.0.0.5 latest CWM. I can't get into CWM recovery with that one; I had to downgrade back to 3.0.0.0. The phone just stalls at the Google screen on boot up with it.
Another person's reported the issue in another thread here. I emailed koush, but no response yet.
@nxt, you've tested 3.0.0.5 and it works as expected?

Not nxt, but I haven't had any issues with 3.0.0.5. Flashing, restoring, or anything at all.

Interesting. I wonder what the quirk is on mine and the other guy's. I haven't tried flashing it from fastboot, but selecting reboot to recovery from within ROM Mgr will not load recovery, it just hangs. No issues with 3.0.0.0.

Works fine for me normally. I personally don't use rom Manager to do anything though. I manually reboot into recovery and do recovery stuff. I have not tried selecting reboot to recovery via ROM Manager. That might be the issue.
Hey
I installed CWM and a new rom... ok that's not the problem...
First thing:
after installing the final version of the rom... and installing CWM it says it doesn't have a cwm recovery... interesting is that when I boot in recovery via power and volume up it enters in cwm recovery...
another question...
after restoring the original rom, via cwm it restores the original recovery too?
if I select factory reset via CWM recovery, will it put back to stock recovery?
main interest:
how to remove cwm flash recovery, and restore the original one?
Im kinda outta the know, but i see a few Rogers guys that cant root since the 1.94( i think) update but can unlock thru htcdev. Some of you guys are having trouble getting a flashed recovery to stick, so you cant get a rooted rom flashed. Well, there is a VERY simple solution for you guys.
You have your recovery.img in your adb/fastboot folder and your in your device bootloader.
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
Ya ya, you tried that, But Wait!
Now
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
That WILL boot you into your custom recovery. Now u can nandroid and flash your rooted rom. Once booted up, go download goomanager and install recovery from there. That one WILL stick.
If you ever temporarily need to use the stock recovery, simply put the stockrecovery.img into your adb/fastboot folder and just do
fastboot boot stockrecovery.img
do whatever, after you reboot you will still have your custom recovery, since all you did was boot the stock recovery, not flash it. Also works vice versa
Added:
if you boot a cwm recovery at first steps, after installing recovery thru goomanager go make a new nandroid because twrp wont restore a cwm backup.
Hope this helps out a little:beer:

Hey guys,
My phone data:
HTC Sensation XE
Unlocked
HBOOT-1.29.0000
S-ON
I installed the ARHD ROM yesterday and then installed the Turbo Boost on three partitions. Today I wanted to switch to some 4.4.2 ROM and I flashed the boot.img of it by this command:
su
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then I wanted to install the ROM and I found out that I can't get into the CWM Recovery... The bootloader works, the phone boots into the ROM but just the recovery isn't working... ;-/
What have I done wrong? What should I do now? I've tried flashing the boot.img via fastboot - no result, factory reset - no result, programs on the store to boot into recovery - no result. Should I reinstall the Recovery? How? I've got a nand backup but can't install it without recovery mode. Tried doing it via fastboot but can't find the system.img ;/
Waiting for ur replies
Ariel
yeah, try to reinstall recovery or better install 4ext recovery app and flash via the app the newest 4ext recovery that works with all rom! here link http://4ext.net/
A little while ago I installed a corrupted boot animation that caused a boot loop. Then I restored the CWM backup and it was able to restore the system but not the data.
Now since I am planning to flash a custom ROM I deleted the old nandroid backup and went on to do a new backup. But CWM was able to back up only the system and not the data saying that data folder is missing though I checked using ES and data folder is there. I had made a backup before and this problem wasn't there.
Any solutions or will re flashing the recovery help it?
I am using CWM touch by Phil.
you are using the latest version of Philz Touch recovery?
I was the same in an older version, or if you try to switch to another as TWRP recovery by TeamMex (the last version before)
