Yes, you would need to get the recovery from an uploaded rom with the same build number as yours. e.g European 1.35.401.1
1. download the file attached. That is for clockwork recovery mod working for the sensation.
Find an RUU in the development thread or OTA update collections with the same build number.
replace recovery.img in the zip you downloaded below with your recovery.img from the official rom. Just extract it from rom.zip and then copy it into the PG58img.zip
2. Copy PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card) after you have changed the recovery.img in it.
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into Bootloader/HBOOT screen(See how to get Hboot post above)
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 (normal screen with homescreen)
6. Remove PG58IMG from your memory card and YOU should now be back to stock recovery
Thanks mate!
Ill test it out tomorrow, really need some sleep atm.

Seemed to work like a charm, for me anyway. I'm back to original recovery again on my Sensation.
Was very worried when I saw what Mixmaven said about not being able to charge a dead battery due to CWM, on p.54 of Dev section Revolutionary thread.
Thanks ikhzter, for all the guides and help for us noobs.
I'm content with just having a rooted, unbranded, stock rom for now. No more vodafone logos and apps is like an early Christmas pressie in itself for me

If you download the 1.35.401.1 RUU exe, and get to the rom.zip from in that, there is a recovery_signed.img within that rom.zip.
and how would I do that? (looks like i'm a noob on that area)
I'm also interested to know how to do...
U can open the exe with winzip or winrar...
The attached file has had the Clockwork recovery replaced with the standard recovery from RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1....
I just put it on my sdcard, powered the phone off, powered on whilst pressing VOL DOWN. It found it and asked if I wanted to start the update.
I did this, and now have the stock recovery.
Will it do a whipe?
Just whant back s-on so i can update original ota 2.3.4 but dont whant to do a wipe

The stock ROM on my sensation is 1.27.166.5 (Swssicom Provider, EU), can I use the recovery.img from the 1.27.401.3 Europe?

NEW clockwork v4.0.1.5 IS in the Sensation S-off guide, you can download pg58img.zip from there
reboot into botloader, let it flash and it wil auto install the new recovery for you.

If I were you I would make sure I am running a custom ROM (this will be rooted properly). If you already are, backup up all your files, do a super wipe, and try installing another custom ROM.
Also make sure your WiFi is turned on whenever using ROM manager.

Thanks for the thread. I just went into RM and asked to flash the current recovery and that prompted me to choose the phone to flash and only the HTC Sensation was listed so that was easy peasy. I hit that, let RM flash the current recovery and during that the SU asked for root permission which I granted of course (this with the window to choose the phone was still up). When I noticed the background bar on top was done, I hit HTC Sensation in the pop up window again and it gave me a successful message.
I am now backing up my current ROM now (CoreDroid).
Appreciate any help.
I ran the revolutionary tool to get s off on my sensation. That part went well. It got to the point on the command prompt window asking me if I wanted to install clockwork mod recovery and to put a y or n. I typed y, then my pc shut the program down saying it encountered a problem. There is no custom recovery now on my sensation. Can anyone tell me how to get the custom recovery on my sensation now?
Thank you!

Hi, don't worry. It is because whenever you are holding your power+volume- button , it boots into bootloader or HBOOT mode. This mode is intended to flash firmware package . ( i.e radio, HBOOT, Splash etc ) . That is why the bootloader searches your sdcard for the firmware package( PG58IMG.zip).
When it can not find it , it waits for user input , then u select recovery and press the power button.
In fact do not keep any PG58IMG.zip file on your sdcard if you do not want to flash your firmware. If this screen annoys you , you can use QUICKBOOT app from the market. By using this app you can directly boot into recovery. Alternatively u can open a terminal on your phone and type : "reboot recovery" . It will directly boot into recovery. If you are comfortable with adb , then type from your pc in the adb terminal " adb reboot recovery"..
yes thanks but now my phone is stuck in boot loop and i s wipe it then try to reinstall ics rom and still in boot loop any suggestions ?

Now that problem sounds more like a bad flash, re-download the ROM, check MD5 sums and if they match, reflash the ROM. If the MD5 Sums dont match then try another ROM
checked came back ok with a tick so isnt that ill try to install the old gingerbread rom then upgrade.
grrrrr getting frustrated now lol
nope didnt fix it still in boot loop any fix suggestions be greatfully received im lost now as to what to do.

Are u using an ics Rom? Ics 4.0.1 has a dedicated firmware to flash. So also ics 4.0.3 has its separate one. Search for there respective firmware and flash. You will b ok.

Happy to see that you have solved your problem.
Just one request , while asking any question try to give your HBOOT and Radio version i.e the full details of your bootloader screen. This will help people to understand your problem better.

Hi
Hands up I think I have made a mistake by rushing in. I have flashed the latest insert coin rom to my Senation but it is in a sort of boot loop where it gets to a beats splashscreen then vibrates and goes back to booting again.
I have a backup but when I try to restore I get the message:
Checking MD5 sums...
Md5 mismatch!
Have I blown it or is there something I can do?
Any help appreciated.

Hi,
Md5 mismatch normally means you changed the name of the backup.
Make sure there are no gaps in the name, and it should work.

If there is no way other way of recovering would a phone shop be able to repair? They claim they can.
Is it possible to dump another Rom on the sdcard and then flash that from my present state?
If so can someone advise me on a clean Rom that is fairly easy to flash please.
You could run the relevant RUU for your original rom, then s-off, root and reflash a new download of insert coin?

Use the sticky guide in the developer thread for some notes about running RUU.
Pick the RUU from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
You have to match it to your original model (LE = xe model), country/region, carrier (no need if your phone was unbranded), base and & software version.
Then yes, s-off via revolutionary and root. Then nandroid backup. Then flash new rom.
Did you change firmware from original at all?

Go to mounts and storage
Mount usb storage
Copy a gingerbread (android 2.3) ROM to your phone
Then flash it normally
2. Download the latest firmware,
