[Q] How to install custom rom after reverting to stock? - HTC Sensation

I had issues with a custom rom so I reverted back to stock using SuperCID and a stock rom I downloaded from here. Now that I am trying to back up this stock rom, whenever I try to go into boot loader I get this error its a phone with a orange triangle on it. Phone gets stuck there and I have to remove the battery to boot back up. So I download rom manger and when I boot it , it gives me this error
" You must root your phone for rom manger to function. Superuser was not found at"/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su" Use google to search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone."
I thought my phone was rooted I know I have s off all I did was reinstall my stock rom.
So my question is how do I reflash my custom rom?

You need to download and install
su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
Just google that and you'll find a downloadable link. Can't do it right now sorry.
Flash update.zip from recovery. Root and s-off are two different things. Do you have clockwork mod installed?

clockworkmod is not available

I have an inspire that I got T-mobile working on it and after I rooted the phone i didn't flash it to a custom rom. So now I want to get ClearDroid in it, but when I tried to go to ROM manager there wasn't a pop-up saying there's an update for clockworkmod recovery.
Now I don't know how to get clockworkmod installed. I've tried looking in the forums for solutions but still no luck. I also want to know if I did something wrong with the rooting.
I would really appreciate the help.
Wel can you tell me what the first entry is in your rom manager? Mine is flash clockwork recovery. Give that a go and see if it works for you.
What root method did you use? I used ACE HACK KIT and if I recall it put a clockwork recovery on my device.
Spark is correct...hack kit does add a clockwork recovery. Start adb and type adb reboot recovery to boot into it. Or, install Droid explorer on your pc and click tools, install custom ROM.

I used Bubby's simple root program. It's weird tho because I first used it on another inspire and I was able to root it and flash it to another ROM. The second time I rooted on a different inspire(the one with the T-mobile) I can't flash it to a different ROM.
I've confirmed with root checker that the phone is rooted and I was thinking if it's advisable if I should root it again.
One more thing when I tried to go into boot mode and there was an orange blinking light. I just took out the battery and got it working again. What I heard is that it could be a sign of semi-bricking the phone.
Might be best to flash back to stock using the RUU in Bubby's one click, however, you may lose the ability to use T-mobile. I'll think about it after I get some sleep.

I was also thinking about flashing back into stock and after that just try to root everything again to work with T-Mobile

Problem installing Rom Manager Clockworkmod recovery after revolution

Has anyone got the new ClockworkMod Recovery installed?
I got S-OFF/recovery using revolutionary (http://revolutionary.io/) and it all went well. When it finished, it asked if it could install Clockworkmod Recovery, and I let it, all good. Then I got root through flashing the su zip file.
Then installed Rom Manager and it said that I needed to install ClockworkMod via Rom Manager and the one that was offered was newer (5.0.2.0)... it asked me to confirm the device, and so I selected HTC Slide 4G and it downloaded, and flashed successfully.
but now when I boot into recovery, I just get the 'T-Mobile myTouch 4G slide' boot screen, and no recovery. I have to pull the battery to get it to come back.
Is there something wrong with the Rom Manager version of ClockworkMod recovery?
I flashboot installed the 4.0.0.8 to get CWM back....
ps - is there a better place to report Rom Manager bugs?
Ours is a custom version. You can't use the one from the App. You should look for Paul's version 4.0.0.9

You could try a ruu, after that your back to full stock (s-on included) or you run the ruu without attached device, don't close the first window and search for the rom.zip file, copy the zip to another folder, open the zip, remove everything except the recovery.img rename the zip to PG88IMG.zip and flash it within the bootloader or flash the image itself with fastboot.
But btw, i'm not sure if you need stock recovery for the ota update.

Using cwm recovery I didn't manage to install the ota update....You are awesome I did it!

Problems installing Roms

So I'm helping my friend root his 4g slide (Having lots of experience doing this for the last year) but here's my problem. Everytime i go into recovery and install the new rom. On the reboot it begins to load up the new rom, then flashes over to the old stock rom. No matter how many times i do it or with different roms this happens. And when the stock rom loads i do not have root access, however recovery stays installed. I'm dumfounded by this and have searched as best i can with little results on this issue. Anyone have any Idea's?
You have Clockwork Recovery, but no root access on your Stock Rom. What I can think of is...
1) Your only Temp Rooted
2) Your S-On
3) You did all the rooting steps, but forgot to flash the Superuser Zip with Root access on it.
4) If you flash a ROM, but when it reboots your on the Stock DS Rom. Your S is on. This stops you from over writing the System. It does a check against the System to make sure that it's running the Stock Rom.
Just simply get S-Off. Very easy. Freevo is only a Temp Root. Revolutionary is the S-Off. You have to flash the SU Zip for full root access. This is all I can think of.
Try formatting system under mounts and storage in recovery.

Under was right. The boot showed it as s off with the s off boot version, wiping the system fixed it. Thank you very Mich gentleman.

Thanks mate really appreciated but could u plz post some links where to download files, and can i do that without rooting the phone, i also dont know what mean s-off.
Sorry, I can nor provide links as I am on my phone. But basically, you need to get s-off by using the juponotbear method. Google it,or check in dev section. After s-off, you need a custom recovery, like CWM. Place the pg58img.zip file on the root of your sd-card, and reboot into boot loader but removing and reinserting the battery, and then hold town power+vol down. It will ask you if you want to install, just confirm. Then remove the pg58img.zip.file.from your SD, and then download the gb firmware for your acid (might take some time to find the right one), and install it like you did with the recovery. Now, if you reboot, you will get a bootloop, because you have a ICS Rom on a gb firmware. Remove the pg58img.zip file from your SD, and download a gb ROM of your choice. Then boot into boot loader, and select recovery. When you have booted into recovery, wipe data, and flash rom from SD card. That should be it

Hi,
The first thing you must do is s-off.
Look in my signature at ☺ A great starting point for all new Sensation owners ☺
There are several guides to s-off.
Then downgrade your firmware or run GB RUU.
All in the sig.
Edit:
Why urgently?
If you rush these things without properly reading,you will end up with a brick.
Take your time.
Read,read,and read some more.
