ClockWork Mod wont install in Recovery

I've got a Sensation (I think its a Phillipenes issue) which was upgraded to ICS 4.0.3.
Basically I've managed to complete HTC Dev Unlock, then a few days later I lost Wi-Fi connection, so have been trying to continue with installing a Custom (or even the original) ROM in an attempt to fix it.
I've now done Junoptobear to get true S-OFF
Got root access
But cant get Clockwork Mod to install in Recovery...
I've installed ROMmanager Premium and used it to install the latest Clockwork Mod - it states its downloaded and completed but when I go to the bootloader and select Recovery it flashes the white HTC screen for a brief second then back to the bootloader.
I've tried to manually download the Clockwork Mod file and install to Recovery but I get the same issue.
Does anyone have any ideas?? Many thanks!

Hi there you can install 4ext recovery you can get the file here in xda or even from the play store. Many of us use 4ext because it has many options and is very easy to use.personally I prefer 4ext. All I did was download from the play store and opened the app follow directions choose version of recovery and it will flash from the application. I was already rooted and soff when I did it but it's very easy to do. I really think you will like 4 ext recovery. You already have s OFF and root so it should not be a problem. Best of luck to you. I hope this helps! As I mentioned most of us use 4 ext recovery and I doubt you will be disappointed. Good luck.

I may be wrong but this sorta sonuds like a problem abother member was having the other day. I think they may not have a eng Hboot installed. Question why not just let them flash the recovery using the PG58IMG.zip via bootloader?

Yeah.. I want to see the output of the command.. Also he can do it via PG58IMG.zip way which I think he already did it (he said he did it manually too... . So)

[Q] Unlocked bootloader and root 2.20, but now can't install twprp recovery

Hey Guys So i was able to successfully unload my bootloader and root my phone via 2.20 root temp method. Now i've run into a wall where I seem to be following the directions, but can't seem to get it to work.
So after my phone was unlocked etc after the whole token thingy... (Sorry this is my first time since 3-4 years ago that i have rooted.. Last phone was a Droid X so excuse my ignorance).... Anyhow so my phone got reset and all and booted back and everything was fine and working.. Now according to the thread in order to flash a ROM of my choice i need to install some sort of Recovery tool. The instructions say to install TWRP-2.3.1.0-evita.img. I have put the .img on the same folder c:android that i have created where i have the adb, fastboot files. I open up a command prompt window and run the command "fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img and it says "waiting for device" and get's stuck there and nothing happens.
According to the post it is supposed to install it and restart my phone automatically, however nothing happens. I am afraid if i reboot my phone and try again that my temp root will go away and will have to redo-everything all over again. Additionally I have tried the market place method where you download "Goomanager" and install the twrp img via menu>openrecoveryscript and choose to download, however i get an error when attempting to download. Can someone point me in the right direction. And will i lose temp root if i reboot my phone?
"Hey guys i just notice i did not run the "adb fastboot" command to tell my phone to reboot first prioer to trying to flash the twrip image. Sorry"

Did you get superuser and busy box from the playstore?

I just downloaded superuser and busybox. Also i downloaded root checker and when i click on check root it says my phone is NOT PROPERLY ROOTER. Can this be because of how HTC ONE X gets temp rooted and this app doesn't work properly? How can i check for sure if i'm rooted? I mean i can get into TWRP recovery and everything with no issues. Thanks.

I believe that because you did not download superuser before reboot. I think you lost root. Might want to try again.

So after i Ran the run.bat and did the entire cid and then token thingy from HTC site and unlocked my bootloader the phone rebooted on it's own.
I believe i need to install superuser via recovery or flash a rom first then install not sure.. the way the dev wrote this phrase is confusing to me.. Check it out...
10. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom recovery partition via fastboot, boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su (I do not provide support for custom recoveries, but this is a straightforward process that other people can help with).
I mean every step form 1-9 all went successfully. Can you provide me with some tips ?

Oh OK. I get it. Give a sec I'll post what you need.

Thanks for helping me out, much appreciated. Also look's like i will need to find the superuser file somewhere online. I believe it needs to be inside a .zip. If i need that can you please provide that info on the instructions. Thank you so much for helping me.

Thank you my friend. Now i need to figure out a ROM to install that has Jelly Bean and everything works. Do you have any recommendations that will work with AT&T HTC ONE XL? I'm currently about to flash the superuser, thanks.

So i did not download the CM recovery as i already had the TWRP recovery installed prior to my post. I put the superuser zip file in my CD Card then i adb reboot recovery within command prompt which brought me into the Team Win Recovery Project V2.3.1.0, I then selected install and choose the superuser zip file you linked me to download, however it fails with errors. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

I think this all has to happen before rebooting after the new root process. So CID, then flash recovery, load and flash superuser, then reboot. I'm not sure how others are getting it to stick. I'm rooted on 1.85 with both my HOX's

Im reading line 10 again and i think i need to install a custom rom first via flashboot then boot into recovery to install the superuser zip file. Read this again and tell me what you think?

1. After unlocking the bootloader, you can flash a custom "recovery" = twrp partition via fastboot,
2. boot into recovery mode, and use a recovery ADB shell or install from an update.zip to install Superuser and su
I think I'm spot on with my last post.

What would be the ADB shell command to install lets say a file labelled superuser.zip ?

I've never tried nor know if possible to flash a zip in fastboot. To the best of my knowledge it has to be a image file.

Alright thanks and sorry for all these questions. I'm going to try to flash a ROM like they recommended. By flashing the boot.img first then the rest of the rom. Thanks for all your help and sorry for anything.

GO into fastboot and try this one click method for recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1419624&d=1350837439
Don't be sorry. I'm wishing someone who has acomplished this could jump in. I wish I was more help.

Which firmware are you on? Did you update to Sense 3.6 + ICS with official update?
Did you unlock your bootloader through HTCDev ?
If you're on the latest firmware, flash the latest ext4 recovery. Before flashing a ICS / JB rom, on 4EXT, go to Tools - Enable Smartflash. You need this to flash custom roms with S-ON.
My sensation is S-ON and so far it's been a flawless feature. No need to flash kernels and boot.imgs through apt anymore

Thankz, i did the HTC dev unlock method and i have the latest official updates from HTC. i have flashed only the CWM image using the all in one tool for sensation.So if i understand you correctly i only have to flash the EXT4 image to the sensation which is part of the all in one tool for sensation.And i can install custom roms without using S-off?.

once you flash the 4ext recovery the all in one tool is no longer necessary
then from recovery go
tools
and at the bottom of the menu you will see the smartflash feature
enable it
after that go back
choose zip from sdcard
install zip from sdcard

thank you very much

Okay mow a little question how can i adjust my cpu frequenti (overclock) because the atuntu cpu master wont go further then 1188mhz.I found a zip file named Overclocked_kernel_v1.5.2_by_SebastianFM but when i want to install this file using the clockwork mod recovery it says that the installation failed.

Because i am trying to copy the url from xda app and i can' t do it ok then
Use the search and write(if your error is status 7)
Assert failed status 7 sensation
Download and flash the insecure.img
After that flash the kernel
Edit:it is better to install it with 4ext recovery

baleno_467 said:
Okay if i flash the EXt4 recovery do i have to remove the CWM recovery or will this automaticly be removed. Using the CWM recovery with the unsecure zip file to fix status 7 errors, didnt work out when installed the overclocked kernel.
Everything went wll when installing the unsecure zipfile, it said it was okay. But when i installed the overclocked kernel it still keeps giving status 7 error.
Thats why i want to install the EXT4 recovery.

once you have flashed 4ext yeap it will remove automatically cwm recovery

Well everything worked out fine thank you all for your help, my cpu speed is now on 1,5ghz the same as an sensation XE.
Okay now another short question if in time i do want to change my original ROM to an custom ROM al i have to do is put the custom ROM on the SD Card and install the rom using the EXT4 recovery. Or do i have to change the system partition just like with the HD2
And if i want to go back from Custom to original all i have to do is place the original ROM on a SD card and instal it from EXT4 ??

yes put the rom on sdcard and then flash from 4ext
but before flashing any rom always enable smartflash
and i suggest to have a nandroid backup just in case

Yes and agree. First you neet to make sure your phone is HTC One XL/Rogers/AT&T One X.(LTE)
Then you can fastboot flash TWRP 2.3.3.1 or 2.6
They have mount option to allow you to access.
TWRP website: teamw.in/project/twrp2/99
It will tell you how to flash.

[Q] Odin to flash .ZIP

Hi just a quick question it says in the instruction that I shouldn't use .zip file link to the instruction: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773659, how can I install this recovery-skyrocket-6037.zip?
Here is the link for the tut that I follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759541&highlight=how+to

You can only flash the zip in a custom recovery. If you don't have a custom recovery you need to install it with Odin. You'll need a .tar.md5 recovery file to flash in Odin.

The instruction says to use this version of recovery-skyrocket-6037.zip the only problem is that it is in .zip format, does this recovery has a version of .tar.md5? Or an alternative recovery file that I can install using Odin to install the kikat custom rom? Thanks for the reply and help.

Use this in odin ] This will install twrp custom recovery. Once installed then flash (install) your recovery zip in it.
The recovery.tar.zip needs to be extracted with 7-zip.
EDIT, I edit this post to remove the the dev host link. DO NOT use the dev host file. Use the.tar.zip
