Hi there,
I am working through the Guide to Unlocking your Sensation and the link to recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation is not working.
Is there another place I can download the file?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lizzie.
Edit:
Looks like someone updated the MultiUpload Link. Thanks guys!
You may download it from here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/ Just search for ....pyramid.img and flash from fastboot.
But I suggest you to get the latest v 5.0.2.0. Works fine in every aspect.
New CWM Version?

How do I update to the new version? Will it affect the back-up files that I have already made?
Sorry if the questions seem silly.
I'm still trying to get the hang of all this!

Open up rom manager and hit the first option...it will flash to the latest CWM recovery. Your old bckups will still work.

Make sure you are connected to the internet via mobile or wifi. Then go to Rom manager. Open the app and press Flash ClockworkMod recovery and the bottom should list your old one and the phone will flash the new one automagically
now if i try unlock bootloader with htc dev method
fastboot oem get_identifier_token ---> [ERR] command errror !!!
Edit : WrongForum ....
may i ask how to flash the .img file?
I'm using the guide to S-OFF etc...
It states to use recovery v5.0.0.8.
A file called PG58IMG, I cant find this, I've S-OFF'd and I'm looking to update and then use recovery.
What's the best file? Does it need to be the Zip file?

I have uploaded CWM 5.0.2.0 here: http://www.axifile.com/en/EC384AC809
MD5: 85b5f10c9afe33fb50396bd5f54bc7de
I just flashed it on my phone and it seemed to work fine, I was on 5.0.2.0 and still am ;-)
I uploaded and downloaded it and it's the same MD5 as the one on my phone that worked.
Just rename to PG58IMG.zip boot up from scratch (Power and Vol -), vol + to flash. When it wants to reboot after flashing pop the SD-card out and rename it after booting.
I came across this, it might be abit outdated but I'm guessing it'll work fine.

I've put it into my root on my SD card, and updated it.
I'll do recovery now.

Hmm, version 5.8.0.2 Not certain what the differences are. I tend to stick with something that works until I need to change ;-)
Well you're winning, from zero to two versions to pick from now ;-))

I've flashed the ROM, just rebooted... I'm guessing the first boot will take awhile.
Will all my data be on the phone?
I guess by checking System settings etc I can see if it's worked.
....I remember how frustrated I was when I found out that there were no working links anywhere. But, maybe I just didn't know how to search.

If you're changing ROMs did you Superwipe before flashing?
If you Superwipe all data/apps on the phone will be zapped, the SD card should remain intact.

Erm, I've only gone from stock to ARHD 4.1.13 so far...
All I did was S-OFF, CWM Recovery and flash the ROM on.
I haven't done anything else yet.
All my apps and data on my SD card are fine atm.
I do want to flash an ICS ROM onto my phone, I'll be following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

Yes, that was my exact feeling. I mean if you get a brand new £250 phone, then your not going to mess around with it, are you? No. You are going to try and get the prefect amount of information and clarity so you know you won't mess up.

In the ARHD (mike's) thread there is a SuperWipe script in the downloads. Use that when changing between ROM flavours, or if recommended by the dev when changing versions. E.g., VI from 2.0.0 -> 3.0.0 required a SuperWipe.
MAKE sure you take regular Nandroid backups before/after you changing anything.

That's precisely it, I've had my Sensation for a while now and want to get the full user-experience from it. I know it is irritating for you guys to have to answer the same Q&A's over and over again, I did try reading everything but with so many answers and so many flavours it's a bit overwhelming.
I might write a guide from a noobs perspective (for noobs) on what to do...

Oh right ok, well I've been advised to change my recovery to EXT4, which I'll do tomorrow. Nandroid backups, is that when I go into HBOOT and choose Recovery? That's a good idea. So when I do go to update my ROM to ARHD 6.xxx for ICS I'll use Superwipe to clear out my app etc... So by using recovery I'll keep my app data/saves etc?
Root fail
I do evrything but when i get to bootloader he starts to read fails from sd card and then says phrasing****** and then nothing. How to root
I wanted to flash to ARHD 6.3
This is my first time.. I managed to S off.. But then the bootloop began after I flashed PG58IMG.zip via fastboot.
Step 1. To S-OFF your Sensation - (You do not need to do this if you have S-off already or done this before) - WORKING NOW for TMOUS users
Visit
download the application for your operating System. AND EXTRACT IT TO A FOLDER
YOU MAY NEED TO DISABLE YOUR ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM- Norton is flagging up Revolutionary as a Virus when it isn't
IMPORTANT
Fill out the form under the download links with your OS, Device, Hboot Version and Serial number. This will give your beta key to enable you to S - OFF. Make a note of this.
How To get your Hboot Version - 3 methods below
1. [/url] and if it has found your device it should read
"Found your Device: HTC Sensation Z710* Applications -> Development)
4. With the phone switched on (not in HBOOT, just the regular home screen), plug in your USB cable and select HTC sync mode.(IGNORE any warning messages on your phone telling you it cannot find HTC Sync )
5. Launch revolutionary.exe. It should detect the phone and ask for your beta key. Type it (BE CAREFUL, as its case sensitive) or copy and paste it in.
If Revolutionary fails to find your phone verify you have all the drivers installed, try disk drive mode or charging mode (Linux users can use disk drive mode. Confirmed to be working by others)
6. Once you have entered your beta key correctly, follow any on screen prompts or actions from revolutionary and wait for it to S-Off,
7. You're done. Your Device will Successfully have S-OFF....if it hangs on method 3 and doesn't S-Off. See post 2 below for solutions.
IF REVOLUTIONARY SAYS FAILED YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED. Go back and check hboot using the methods above. some users are told its failed and they still have S off now. If you have S-off your hboot will now be 1.17.1011 and revolutionary will tell you now your device is not supported
8. Revolutionary will now ask you to Install clockwork recovery mod after S OFF. Type N and install it manually below (the recovery provided is v4.0.1.4 doesn't charge when device is switched off, the one below v5.0.0.1 does charge)
9. Your Device now is S-off.
To install clockwork recovery for the sensation. Follow step 2!
STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)

Do you still have a PG58IMG.zip on your sd card?
If so ,delete it.

oh i've read that as well so i have deleted it manually by using sd adapter.. then reinserted it back n tried to boot normally.. but to no avail.. what's the root cause of this eh?
when i gained s off, i still can boot into my ROM.. however disaster happens when i flashed the .zip files obtained as per instructions..
oh but directly after i've flashed it, i didn't remove the .zip files n tried to immediately reboot into ROM.. does this make a difference?

good question..
immediately after s off, i boot into my ROM and tried to install busybox and other apps that requires superuser or root but failed and stating that my device was still not rooted..
so i proceed to install a recovery (in this case its ext4 recovery) but failed to find a .zip installer (but managed to find the .apk and .img version but afraid to proceed considering the extension wasn't the same as per guide's PG5...ZIP). so i tried to simply install cwm as per stated in the guide. coz i know after recovery is installed, only then i would be able to install the su zip files.
then it boot looped.. n here we are trying to shoot all of these troubles.. XD
and if my understanding was wrong, pls correct me. thanks!
only after you sent me the links i managed to install ext4 recovery via a much easier method using cmd.exe..
n that also means that i wasn't even able to follow through the supercid part of the guide..

wait a moment, i dont know if things are making more sense to me but, is it possible that this was caused by a wrong firmware? i just figured out my cid and its htc_044 and there are 4 different version of firmware for this cid, so should i try each of it until my phone boots to my original ROM?
Update: Oh God, I'm in such a relief! Thank God it works now. I flashed the firmware 1.17 n now am able to boot back into my ROM. Now i'm gonna get things backed up n will proceed. phew thanks so much for helping me out. The cause was maybe the zip files werent compatible with mine. So i check my cid n mid, n downloaded what might be the original one. so now its fixed..
...then again, I might just be being a complete moron and absolutely wasting a lot of people's time. I'm going to try anyway because everytime I Google my multiple problems I seem to get back to this website. Yes, I watched your noob video - I laughed a lot, and unfortunately and unintentionally I feel like I'm going to tick a few of the boxes at the end of it... If you can rescue me from my situation, I'll definitely make a donation towards the upkeep of your site (As long as you have a donation link.)
I have a HTC Sensation XE (with Beats Audio) and it being a Sunday afternoon I thought I would have a crack at rooting and applying custom firmware to me phone for the first ever time. I bet you can see where this is going. I downloaded the SDK Manager, HTC ONE X All In One tool, and the latest Cyanogen for my handset. I DID NOT S-OFF MY PHONE BEFORE JUMPING RIGHT IN FOR I AM AN IDIOT. So I rooted the phone, and all seemed to be going well, I had the Stock ROM, I believe they call it? But it was rooted as confirmed by Root Checker. AT THIS POINT I BACKED UP USING CLOCKWORK. I then got ahead of myself and tried to download the new Custom ROM. After getting aggrieved that the ROM was stuck on 86% consistently with ROM Manager I downloaded it to my PC. Put it onto my SD card. Went into recovery mode. Installed .zip via SD card.
This is where problems began. Once the installation was done I restarted my phone and got caught out by the little blue man, and I believe my screen was stuck in bootloop, where it just continually showed me his image - and the movements around him kept occurring, it didn't freeze. I tried to put the boot.img on from the .zip where I had downloaded it but it came to no avail, it still didn't boot past that point.
I was aggrieved and so restored my phone to the point I said I had backed up. Just after the root of the stock ROM. Then when I tried to boot this up, it got stuck at the Beats Audio symbol in similar vein to how it was stuck on the little blue man.
I turned my phone off, tried to wipe everything using 4ext recovery that I placed on the phone at this point. My All In One tool also stopped recognising my phone, constantly saying "error: device not found" when I tried to do something which it was not doing before the root. Furthermore, when I plug my phone into my PC, it doesn't offer me Removable Drive storage, but it does make the pinging noise which notifies me that the device is recognised. Now after all this, when I boot the phone it is stuck at the HTC screen with a white background and I don't know why it is now halting here as opposed to what it was earlier, could it be something to do with when I was trying to get the all-in-one tool to recognise my phone I tried to reflash recovery of 'Stock'? I really am upset about this and regret even attempting it as I am in love with my phone and can't really live without it. Please help and if I get a successfully, rooted phone I will be very happy and PROMISE to make a donation towards the site of what I can afford.
So please do me and your own site a favour and help me

don't panic.many as you had that issue.it is easy
from 4ext recovery enable smartflash and then immediately flash the rom
you should be fine
If it still fails to boot after reflashed with smartflash on, get boot.img from zip, place it in your fastboot/adb folder and flash it manually from fastboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Look for Asskicker's guide in General section. "flashing rom with s-on and Hboot 1.27+"

Unfortunately, this hasn't worked for me. I did this...
- Went onto 4EXT recovery.
- Went to tools.
- Clicked on 'Enable Smartflash'.
- Ensured it was on.
- Went to 'install .zip from SD Card'
- Found the Cynagon MOD.
- "Finding update package... Opening update package... Installing update... Install from SD Card complete."
- Rebooted phone.
- A pending update to your boot partition has been detected. Your ROM will reboot once [and then it reboots]. The first time it came up with this though. It said something about how there had been an error.
- Got stuck at the HTC screen again.
I'd just like to reaffirm that before something happened (I believe it was when I tried to flash to stock recovery), my phone was getting to the Beats Audio/Little Blue Man Screen. Now it's getting to the HTC screen.
That donation to the site is still in promise!

Hi there mate!
What I would recommend you to do is running an appropriate RUU for your device, ( i would recommend GB, because then you can S-off very easy), and then re-run the whole process. If you run a GB RUU, you can gain s-off with revolutionary. And the best part, the RUU can be run in bootloader, so it doesn't matter if your ROM does not boot. I can send you a link once my internet gets faster (im using all my bandwidth for source-building lol)
Please keep me posted and feel free to ask any questions
Best of luck !

Thank you for your helpful paragraph If you could send me the link for that RUU, that would be great, but I do have a couple of other questions. What is an RUU? I assume GB is Gingerbread, but is that the OS that I am on? What will the RUU do? I really stepped out of my depth trying this haha!

Thank you for your helpful paragraph If you could send me the link for that RUU, that would be great, but I do have a couple of other questions. What is an RUU? I assume GB is Gingerbread, but is that the OS that I am on? What will the RUU do? I really stepped out of my depth trying this haha!

RUU stands for Rom Update Utility, and it is an executable (.exe) file wich is ran from a pc with a phone connected in fastboot. The RUU is meant to restore all partitions on your phone

OK try this.
1. Reboot into 4ext recovery.
2. Wipe everything except sdcard.
3.enable 4ext smart flash
4. Reflash Cyanogenmod.
5. Flash gapps add-on from Cyanogenmod thread.
6. Reboot and wait up to 10 minutes.
If this does not work take your Cyanogenmod rom and on your pc extract the boot.IMG file and move it to your adb folder then repeat but add
8. Fastboot flash boot.IMG using adb while in recovery.
Open your cmd and CD to your ad folder.
Issue the command " fastboot flash boot boot.img " with the phone connected.
9. Reboot and wait up to 10 minutes

Btw the only RUU that will work on hboot 1.29.0000 devices is the 3.33.401.153 one IIRC. It's also available to download from my FTP - here

Just when I have everything ready to try this, I am getting '403 Forbidden' on that link you just sent me. What do I do to get that link working?
Also, is it as simple as plugging the phone into Fastboot USB mode and clicking the .exe file?
Elliot,
Any help possible with this one, guys and girls? The last post I made about the 403?

Hi,
I have this AT&T one x, (I m using on NON AT&T network), so cant have an ota update.
Looking at few forums, downloaded the OTA version on XDA (631 Mb)
Saw people writing, that just rename the file to update.zip and then go to recovery and choose install from internal memory.
That dint work for me.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then few people wrote to choose install from external mem.
That dint work either.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then saw few people saying that I need to root my device and unlock bootloader.
I dint that, and tried from bootlaoder to install from zip.
That also dint work.
Now saw, I few wrote that i need to be S - OFF.
Which I tried doing it, but i m not able to do s-off for myself.
Pls pls pls.... can any of you EXPERTs out here help me.
Waited like for AT&T to release the update, now when it is out, i m not able to make it through.
Your step by step instruction would be highly appreciable.
Be aware, that if you have the AT&T version, and you are rooted, then you probably have SuperCID (in fact, you must have SuperCID, unless it was already changed back). If you have SuperCID you must S-off (or return to the AT&T CID) before applying the OTA, or you will brick your phone!
I am not all that familiar with the process to install using OTA.zip (and haven't done it myself), but it was discussed in these threads:

I tried this method couple of time before : unlocking, rooting and S-off ing
In this case , do i need to relock my bootloader and stock recovery?
If yes, where can i find stock recovery, i have deleted it.
By "i deleted it" do you mean you installed a custom recovery? If so, yes you need to get stock recovery back on.
Only way I know of to reinstall stock recovery is to run the 2.20 ruu. Since you're s-off, you don't need to relock; just run it.

You probably have a custom recovery. Reboot to bootloader and select recovery and see what you get. If it's TWRP, you'll get a teamwin splash screen and then some options. Stock recovery will just show a screen with a green circle.

I have already done that.
And now in case anyone needs help, i can help those people out.
Coz the method is simple, but it is not at all explained clearly in any of the threads.
It has come in bit and pieces.
I have noticed one thing.
That after installing the update and again unlockin the bootloader and rooting, I am not able to see "TAMPERED" being written in the boatloader.
Also, now when I am rooted and also have SU permission, I m not able to switch on my WiFi tether with the files mentioned in the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677261
The "TAMPERED" flag goes away when you're s-off and flash a new hboot.
I believe wifi tether is blocked on the new AT&T base. You can flash a custom rom on the 3.17 base and it should work.
Good day Friends of the Forum
I have a problem and do not know how to fix it , I have navigate a lot in the network and I could not get my phone to work . I have HTC One X from AT&T. By playing around with the phone, accidentaly I delete the O.S. so right now my phone is locked . I can't load Origanal or Custom ROMS . The only thing I can do is enter the bootloader and install recovery ( TWRP ) I installed several versions of TWRP to install a custom rom or I locked the bootloader to install the original RUU and everything has been WITHOUT SUCCESS .
Right now I have S -ON , my HBOOT is 2.14 and I can install TWRP Recovery 2.6.0.0 or 2.6.3.0 .
I have read in many places that I have to make an S -OFF to install a Custom ROM , but all I get Tips that I need an OS runing to finish the installation (or modified to do the S -OFF) . What can I do if my S.O. is actuall blocked (brick). Only screen I got when I turned on or reboot my is the white screen " HTC quietly brillant" .
My friends , I request help from the wise in this range. Since I ran out of ideas . I attached pictures with my phone information
regards
You are not bricked (or "blocked", whatever that means). A brick means the device cannot be recovered without opening the device (replacing mainboard, JTAG, etc.). If the screen comes on, its not bricked.
Just use your unlock token to unlock the bootloader again. TWRP and custom ROMs won't install if the bootloader is relocked. The unlock token will sometimes take several (or even many) tries to work. So if you tried already, and it didn't work, just keep trying.
Also, if you are SuperCID (which was required to get bootloader unlock on the AT&T version) and S-on (which you are) DO NOT RUN the 3.18 RUU. If you do so, you will brick the device for real (only recoverable by JTAG).
My advice would be re-unlock the bootloader, install TWRP, install the custom ROM of your choice, and then achieve S-off.
Also, I find this situation comes up far too often ("I wiped the OS and I don't know what to do"). Don't wipe things (like the OS) if you don't know what the result is going to be. And if you had made a nandroid before messing with things, you could have just restored. Seems there are just far too many n00bs getting into this hobby without exercising any basic common sense.
Thank you so much for your advice.
I just re-Unlock my phone.
Would you please help me with one issue? When I try to install a custom rom via TWRP 2.6.0.0 it says checking for MD5 file. No MD5 file found.
and the phone start restarting and restarting...
How MD5 file works or whats the the function of this file?

MD5 is a checksum file (verifies the integrity of the download). But this shouldn't be happening in TWRP. Try the default wipe option in TWRP (factory reset, cache and Dalvik) and try again.

I have a problem when I try to install custom rom ViperXL_4.2.0.zip
When I try to install, the rom send me to a wizard, I follow the steps of the wizard and the star installing the rom, when the installation percent reach 7 % the phone restarts and send me the HTC quitly brillant screen.
Do you think that I need re-lock the bootloader and then re-unlock the bootloader??
thanks
No, do not relock the bootloader, that isn't the problem. I'm not trying to sound harsh, but why are you attempting to install custom ROMs? You lack a basic understanding of what you're doing, this is very dangerous. I seriously suggest that once you get the phone up and running again you stop modifying it and take the time to do some research and learn about what you're doing. You should always know what you're doing before you do it. Not knowing what you're doing leads to situations like this where you have idea how to recover, or even to a bricked device.
Did you manually check the md5 of the ROM zip after downloading it? The file might be corrupt, thus causing the installer to fail.

No, I don't think relocking is going to help at all.
Try downloading the ROM again.

Thanks verry much for your advice, now I am living the consequences for start playing with my device without knowledge. I promise when this nightmare ends, I am going to do a deep research for installing custom roms and how to make backups before playing.
This problem happens with all roms that I try to install?? In your experience how do I make a good MD5 manually check .
Regards
The md5 sum will be listed on the download page of the ROM, you need to use an md5 checking program/app to make sure the md5 of the downloaded file matches the one listed on the download page. To make this easier to understand, an md5 is like a fingerprint of the file made up of a series of letters and numerals. If the md5 of the file matches the one listed on the site you know the file is exactly as it should be. If it doesn't match then you know the file has been corrupted during the download.

I´m Sorry, I din't check the md5, do you think the problem resides in the md5 file?? I already try with 12 custom and 1 clean rom for the AT&T HTC One X, that's why I didn´t check the md5 file, because I thought that one of all the roms, one of them is going to be the correct one. In some cases there is no md5 file for downloading.
