CWM install problem!

Hi I'm new here, been a iPhone user for years, and jailbroke every iPhone I had. I'm no expert but I can manage my way around most computers or gadgets. However I downloaded revolutionary and initiated it, but when it tried to install CWM it crashed my question is how do I get clockworkmod recovery on my phone now!? As it won't let me re-do the revolutionary app, just says your phone is not supported! The s-off has worked just not sure where to go from here? To get my phone rooted and get CWM on my phone! Any help would be much appreciated!

Get ADB working for your computer then from there flash CWM through fastboot if you have any questions from there use the search bar or google.
G2X and Sensation 4G I love both

Yes you can, or install a custom rom, they are faster and more optimized.

Try downloading ROM Manager from the market and flashing CWM Recovery from within the app.
Once you've flashed recovery you can put a ROM on your SD, boot to Recovery, and flash

iam gona try and tell u...
thnx in advance

You just need to reinstall recovery again,but since your unrooted with soff its a little different.
Huge thanks goes to gene for this file.
1)download file and rename to PD98IMG.zip--- must be exact caps matter,make sure you don't add an extra. Zip happens alot.
2)place in root of SD card-not in a folder
3)flash through hboot
4)done you have cwr and can flash a custom rom

The name of the zip must be exactly "PD98IMG.zip" sans the quotes of course and to flash through HBoot, power the phone off>press and hold the Volume Down key/button and Power at the same time>release the keys/buttons when you get a white screen w/an android and text>it will search for the PD98IMG and upon finding it will ask if you want to update>confirm by pressing Volume Up>reboot when prompted by pressing the Power button.

thnx
iam trying it now and will tell u about it
there a way to chk if the rom i downloaded is not corrupt or etc
and before flashing or after do hav to do anything els llike audio fix etc
thanks

i tried it but it doesnt work..
the h-boot doesnt search for any file
there the recovery option when i open it it goes to {android system recovery 3e}
i did everything but its not working ;(

Where did you rename the file? If you did it on a windows machine the default is to hide the extentions and you probably have the extra. Zip I mentioned. Verify the file name with a file manager on your phone. Just trying to rule out the most common mistakes

back up a second, how do you not have root? what EXACTLY did ROM Manager tell you when you ran it?

Its possible to have soff and not be rooted. For example say I am rrunning cm7 . Then I go an flash an ruu. The ruu will not touch soff. So I could then be fully stock but still have soff. As is the case for.the op

you're right, i guess my question should have been worded differently asking if the OP was SURE he didnt have root. it pretty obvious that he's new to android customization, which is why i asked exactly what ROM Manager said when he ran it.

Hey guys
The rom manager said no root privileges or something like this
I know the file extension thing i cut everything including .zip and pasted the one qouted...
Plzz guys help what i should do

YOu have to be rooted for rom manager to work. Your best bet would be to use the hack kit. Please do your research before modding your phone. What you are doing could leave you with a device that doesnt work and cant be returned.

Yea i know but iam very much eager to get it rooted and get sense 3.o... Anyone with a solution for this should post it here please thank you

Noob on Sensation Xe needs help to root

As I received my brand nu Xe yesterday, I'm now on rooting it to delete unwanted apps.
I'm comming from Leo with Nand roms, where flashing was easier as rooting Android devices to me
Tried different threads, found different unanswerd questions about rooting, Hroot, S-off and stuff but to be honest, I have no clue how to do it with the XE.
I had the MAGDLR on it so flashing was like playing with toys, but now,....can't go on.
The stock rom which is on board on my TMO_DE XE is okay for me, no nned to flash another rom, but all I wanna do is to get rid of all unwanted sys app I never us.
Can anyone give me a helping hand on this?
thx in advance
P

Look on YouTube, theirs loads of videos on how to get s-off and rooting. Being the sensation XE doesn't make it any different from the original sensation just XE processors clock limit is 1.5ghz so follow guides for either

Hi there,
I just went to revolution website and followed the instructions in this topic: -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I had no issues (I didnt super-cid or whatever its called). May I also recommend you look at InsertCoin ROM V3.4.4, it is fast and causes no issues. if you want 2.3.4 Sensation XE ROM, Virtuous v2.2 is great.....I'm stuck deciding which of these two to use as my daily
Good luck

LoL,
I successfully S-Offed my Xe now and downloaded the rom manager.
so, do I still need to run busybox or something?

you don't need busy box. If you are already S off and have clock work installed. You are good to go. Get you a ROM, transfer to sd, enter recovery, and flash away.

CMR says that its NOT rooted, but I did with that revolutionary tool and it also downloaded CMR, but I can't find it

You need to flash a recovery through fastboot, then flash superuser through recovery. (or just flash a new rom) to get root

I went into recovey and it installed CWR. It rebbots now and then, hopefully, I will somehow get root access. all I want to do is to delete system apps out of my stock rom

Be careful though because some apps may rely on the apps your about to delete, to function so be careful dude

If you got the custom recovery, and you are rooted, then download an app (this one),that way you can lock those apps that you don't need, so you can save some RAM, and battery.

If you're worried you're doing it wrong you might be
check out the guide in my sig. Very simplified and noobproof.

Thank you guys,

Wrong forum. this is the XL forum. THe XE and XL are completely different phones.
The guide for the Sensation and XE are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Best of luck.

that method not working

unfortunately, it is probably best if you ask the question in that forum though, as your question is not about sensation XL (which this forum is for) and the forum that was linked above is for SENSATION and SENSATION XE.

unfortunately in my case HTC Super tool v3 and revolutionary are not working. I am not able to S-off my HTC Sensatio XE (with beats audio) 2.3.4. I dont know what is wrong.
Is it possible that since i have downloaded the update HTC Super tool v3 is not working? also revolutionary is giving error and failed to root. Can you please help

[Q] Possibly bricked my device?

I was trying to install the new Android Revolution HD ICS Rom, I installed it through ROM Manager and it wouldn't boot up. I thought I would try and update my phone with PG58IMG.zip in the bootloader, however it says the CID is wrong, and I now can't access anything in the bootloader or recovery to try and fix it. Anyone got any ideas of something I can do? To at least remove PG58IMG.zip from my SD Card anyway.
Thanks

Umm...pull out the SD card before booting the phone...? Maybe...? -_-

Yeah, sorry. I didn't think that Recovery would be able to do anything without SD Card, but it can. *noob moment* :$
Do you know why Android Revolution HD won't boot up after being flashed? It's the same version you have according to your signature.

I believe you had to change your cid. But I'm not positive. Do you have firmware 3.24 installed and not 3.12?

Just follow the steps carefully on Mike's thread and you won't have any problems. Just take the time to read them.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

Sounds to me like you don't have SuperCID.
In order to be able to flash the firmware that Mike provides, you need to have SuperCID.
Check the tutorial on how to do that in the S-Off,Root,SuperCID thread here.

I have S-OFF, however the bootloader says locked? I now can't boot into any ROM it seems. Not sure what's wrong?
EDIT: Managed to get boot by restoring old backup. Now going to try flashing ROM again, could be something to do with ICS Rom maybe. Thanks for your help everyone. However anyone who knows why I can't flash any ICS Rom, please let me know

U also need 3.12 firmware if upgrading to ics. Correct me if i am wrong.
Sent from my MIUI.us Sensation 4G using XDA App

Weird bc i just looked in rom manager and cant locate that rom. Rom manager isnt going to put ics roms that require supercid and firmware 3.12 bc if they did alot of ppl would be bricking their sensations and blowing up the comments on the rom manager app.

[Q] Need some help with rooting

Ok could use some of y'alls help i used the toolkit in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1532809 and everything worked flawlessly except the permroot option which would normally be fine except ive tried every root option i can find and cant gain permroot i am unlocked s-on have cwm recovery loaded and working the only thing i can find that may be holding me up is that im on hboot version 1.45.0013 revolutaniary method says its not compatible any help any of you have would most appreciated ive searched and tried every method i can find to gain root but no luck
Thanks in advance,

Just flash a superuser.zip files through CWM Recovery and you're rooted.

If what the person before me said doesn't work try looking up the thread that's says " how to flash ics with s-on" after u do that process right you'll gain root access. Because I was in the same situation with you and couldn't gain root. But that worked.
