Chances are you can and are just missing a step but to figure out where something got missed we're going to need some more information, what happens when you try to boot into recovery?

I made the root and every thing is good until I remove the battery and placed it again, when I enter the bootloder and choose recovery then it didn't enter on the recovery mode the same if you didn't put any thing
And again i shoud root the device one more time

i have no idea what you're saying to say.
im sorry, repeat?

Man,
Once you did root on your NS, you have to download in market "Rom Manager" and apply Clockworkmod "First option when you open it". Than you don't have to flash clockworkmod every time!!
Got it?

Wasn't it you that just said if you're not helping don't post? He just clarified from his first post and I think its pretty clear whats going on.

So here is what I think is going on: When you try to boot into recovery there a big exclamation point in the middle of you screen? Assuming that is correct here is what you need to do. You'll need to get Root Explorer from the market. Once you've got that on your phone open it up and find a folder called "etc". At the top of the window you'll see [mount r/w]. Click on that. Now scroll down until you find a file called "install-recovery.sh" which you'll need to rename to "old-install-recovery.sh" or you can just delete it (I chose to delete it, its just a personal preference). Once that is done go back to the market and download Rom Manager. Open it up and click on Flash clockwork recovery. It'll ask for superuser permissions and allow it.
Now you should be able to boot into CWM recovery!
If I assumed wrong, please explain what happens when you try to boot into recovery.

why you have to delete this archive??? I just applied with rom manager and every thing is running fine on my 2.3.3 stock + Root!!

Because that file automatically checks if you have a custom recovery on every boot and replaces it with the stock recovery. Go into your etc folder and if its not there or renamed that would explain it.

Thanks for all
Naw its work with me well

Sounds like stock recovery installed itself. If you are rooted remove/rename /etc/install-recovery.sh then reflash cwm manually or through rom manager.

I have had this happen on my NS4G. I know they are a little different, but it seems like you are having the same thing happen that I did and to solve it, I open Windows command prompt(or terminal depending on you OS) and fastboot flash recovery (insert recovery.img name here) and reflashed the recovery partition with clockwork. Very easy fix. Just make sure you boot straight into recovery after flashing and flash the Rom you want to flash before booting back into stock(also make a nandroid before that). After that you shouldn't have any more problems unless you unroot. There must be a small glitch somewhere when flashing the clockwork doesn't fully erase stock recovery partition.

The Nexus one did the same thing. Most OTAs verify / replace this file. It's easy enough to deal with if you're unlocked and rooted.

rooting may have been udone in reload?

so i have a tb and rooted it. no problems there. i tried a few roms switched back to stock one . then tried to flash one and i got stuck on a boot animation. couldnt get anyting to work so i ended up taking it back to stock. ive seen in recovery mode it said s-on which i figured meant not rooted... but i still have the superuser app and stuff it just wont grant access to root apps that need permission like rom manager which wont flash or reboot into recovery or anything for me now. any suggestions.. what to do or try. i tried using the same root method that worked before but it wont work this time. the phone doesnt reboot when its supposed to after the first step.

S-on doesn't mean you've lost root, s-on is a bootloader unlock. Try going to tthe superuser app to see if some of the root apps are set to deny

no i can boot into recovery but i cant flash a file of course, and all it tries to do is check the pmg005 zip file and do an update in which it doesnt even update everything.. or at least last time it didnt. so i was unsure if i should just go back to stock and then reroot

Why do you still have a pmg05.zip file at the root of the sdcard for it to scan? Need to delete, move, or rename that to get to clockwork recovery

Sounds like you've missed a step or done something wrong to not get s-off
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
haah youre probably right. i have already removed that zip file from the root directory, and i did have it set to s-off however after i reloaded (im assuming) thats possibly what is causing it. thanks for the help guys, much appreciated
ok so when i try to boot into cwm or recovery it wont even let me pick anything it just has hboot highlighted and tries to read the pmg005 zip file that is not there fails... then i can reboot, reboot hboot, but not do recovery to flash anything,
You have to redo the rooting procedure. It sounds like you flashed a shipped RUU and rewrote all the partitions.
i tried rerooting using the same 3 step method I found on Droid forums. it wouldn't reboot when its supposed to after step 1. should I just try another method

[GUIDE] Reflash original recovery

Because there isnt any thread about reflashing the old recovery for HTC Sensation ill create one.
Because of the problem after S-OFF and the installation of Clockworkmod recovery the battery wont charge when the phone went empty. Here are some simple steps to put the htc recovery back.
1. Download this PG58IMG file http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=671910&d=1312083040
2. Put the file in the root of your memory card
3. Shutdown phone and pull out battery
4. Press volume down and hold it when you put on your phone
5. The phone wil find the PG58IMG file and ask if you want to update, select yes
6. After installation reboot phone and remove the PG58IMG file from the memory card
7. Your done and your phone will charge when its shut down (wait for a fix from Clockword mod recovery)
CREDITS: ikhzter and Behold_this
Thanks for the trick
It fixes the battery problem, but in my case, it breaks the market In the HD Revolution rom.
I can use the market after I reflash the original recovery, after that I keep getting the "error not enough space to download"
Wait....so if my phone dies I won't be able to charge it to get it back on????? Wow...that sounds like a huge issue. Looks like I'm flashing the stock recovery.
READ post one of the S off Guide
IT will only not charge if you disable fastboot
if it dies while fastboot is enabled, it will charge and switch on as long as you dont try to switch it on while its dead!
Tried the steps downloaded app put on sd card no directly no file

Good idea to throw this on the SDCard in case of emergency.
Ok, I reflashed the original recovery, even though i had the 4.0.1.5 CWM, since some people said it still doesnt fix the problem. I just didnt want to risk being somewhere away from pc/net/cables, and ending up with a dead phone.
Now my question is: If and when there is a proper fixed version of CWM comes out, can I just flash it simply using the RomManager? Or do i need to go through some complicated procedure?

A proper fixed version has already been released.
Download Rom Manager from the market and install the recovery from within the app. Make sure the recovery is Orange after you flash it, not Blue.
Charging will work, and it will give you the advanced functionality that Rom Manager provides.
Easiest thing in the world to do.

Clockworkmod not working? Help

OK I got a new G2X after the charger port in my old one from T-mobile. I root it with superclick one then download clockwork from the marketplace. I try to boot into recovery and then the phone hangs. When he does not hang it says install of update fails and wont let me flash my rom. Did clock work change or am I doing doing something wrong?

That one from the market is a no go for this phone. That recovery (I assume via ROM Manager) simply not gonna stick.
Go to this thread and flash the recovery using Nvflash:

Aren't both Clockworkmod and ROM Manager abandonware?

Abandonware??? What gives you that idea??
In the play store ROM Manager was updated the 16th of this month, and if CWM was also abandonware then no newer devices would have been getting CWM on it.
Is that a legit question or are you trolling? I find it hard to believe someone would be calling it that.

First, the best way to get CMW of any version is by using the NV Flash ( Search that up ). Then you can boot into recovery by pushing the power button (the one on top), and the volume down button ( Its on the right side). It should boot into recovery perfectly after you do this. Tell us if it works!

Agree, Best way to flash recovery is Thru NV flash. Its a little complicated but ones you get the hang of it, its easy than you though
ROM manger can flash recovery but not always does a full flash, so best way is NVflash.

Hey guy's
I tried to root my HTC one S but after I unlocked the bootloader (boot loader is now UnLocked) , I couldn't run the SuperSu zip file because When I
open the recovery it shows a red message saying:
"this build is for development purposes only do not distribute outside htc with out htc write permission failure to comply my lead to legal action ."
i cant do nothing else with the device,he's stuck on that massage ":this build...."
all i can do is go to recovery mod and that's about it,cant find nor open the supersu zip file
does any one know what to do to repair this?
It sounds like you didn't flash a custom recovery. If you can get back into the bootloader go to fastboot and do that.

dude,i dont understand why your'e saying "put it on sdcard" i dont have a slot for an sdcard it's the one s

the only thing that works for me is the bootloader and hasoon 2000.
Dude...where you drag and drop files from your computer is considered sd card as you can clearly read!!! Hasoon2000 is a person btw.
But seriously, If you're having these issues you don't need to root. Honestly after ics there really isn't any point . If you know what you are doing then maybe you are stuck in your ways, but if you don't there really isn't any point considering you are asking the same exact question that has been asked nearly every day....
