Can you charge the phone when it's off with this one?
edit: Yes the phone is charging now when it's off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell yeah, since i had a Xperia X10 i was like "i must have ROM Manager" but it was not compatible with the X10

I turned phone off and the orange LED is normal just like before S-OFF

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.
OP maybe you could put that in post 1 too

Isn't it an easier way to install Rom Manager and install the new recovery ?

Can't find the support in rom manager. How to flash after you downloaded the app?

Download, run, and choose the option 'Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery'. It should ask you to confirm if the phone model is the HTC Sensation

What is your version of rom manager? Mine is 4.3.3. When I pressed flash recovery, there is a panel to ask me to confirm my phone model but sensation, is not listed. Please help.

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.

Thumbs down, easier to flash it with ROM manager, no need to reboot into bootloader and all.....sorry, but you need to quit trying to steer every topic that comes up to your sticky rookie, can you please add that to your op.......

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).

Flash a new rom or reinstall the current one from recovery. That'll fix it.

Worse case you may have to do a full wipe
(hope you did a full backup first!)
I had this happen a few weeks ago - wiping cache did finally fix it for me. Try it more than once just to be safe.

Recovery - help please !!!!!

Hi,
I have a problem as I came from another rom android 2.3.5 - sense 3.5 using 4EXT as a clockrecovery.
In order to install a ICS rom, I start to move the new XE firmware (.img) to my SD card and installed the "Optional FULL WIPE to EXT4 patch (FTP)" running with Rom Manager as a clockrecovery.
I updated the firmware on the hboot but my Sensation doesn't reboot anymore.
It stick on the "white screen htc".
Help please !!!!

Did you flash the firmware.zip file that was made? You must boot into recovery again because the firmware updates everything making everything reset in a while so just reflash again and your good to go

New too custom time on sensation. Bit of help please

Right 1st off I have been looking into this for a few weeks now and have searched but I just want to be sure before I do actually do anything and potentially damage my phone. Also I did used to flash custom rims on my desire so I'm not completely new to this but am by no means a pro at it.
I have s-off using revolutionary but that's as far as I've gone and I didn't install custom recovery due to wanting to install the official ics update which is what I'm running now.
1st question is are there any preferred recoveries? I know on my desire there were a few to choose from which could affect being able to install certain Roms and also are there any issues using recovery now that I've update to ics?
2nd how would I go about flashing it? I read about downloading it to root of sd and flashing from stock recovery.
3rd I've seen that I apparently don't need root as a custom Rom comes pre rooted?
4th will the whole flashin a Rom proceedure be the same as what I'm used to e.g. boot into recovery backup current rom, wipe when needs then flash Rom and reboot. Also I've read about a super wipe what is this?
I think ill he ok with all this but I love this phone and don't want to cause any damage to it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou

1. CWM or 4ext. Many prefer 4ext for the touch interface and additional options. You can download an updater for this from market, it will install it for you.
2. CWM Recovery can be flashed via the boot loader, it's exactly like updating the boot loader on your desire. You will also use this method to update your firmware - this is different to desire, it updates various parts including radio.
3&4 yes the same!

I would suggest 4EXT touch for recovery over ClockworkMod. There has been numerous reported cases in XDA threads with ROM installation issues using CWM. I myself have had issues with CWM and only recently changed to 4EXT recovery.
As for superwipe, have a look at this link.

Thank for all your help guys. Ok so looks like ext4 is the way to go but how do I go about installing it? I am not not rooted yet only have s-off.

You cannot root if you don't install a custom recovery first.
You can download 4EXT recovery in PG58IMG from Here
Rename it only PG58IMG and put on the root of your sd card.
Reboot to bootloader (volume down + power button), at prompt if you want to update, say yes by pushing volume up.
let do its things and when finished push power button to reboot.
Delete PG58IMG from sd card when done (or each time you reboot bootloader it will ask to update).
Once installed, flash this zip from 4EXT recovery.
Then download from the market superuser and busybox to get root.
Hope it helps. Hit thanks if it did

thanks again for your help. just follwed as you said but when i go into bootloader it checks for file then say model id incorrect press power to reboot?

What is your model id?
you can dowload terminal emulator from market and give this command "getprop ro.mid" (without quotes). This will give your model id. Inside the PG58IMG that you downloaded ther is android-info file and there you can change the mid accordingly.

think i might of sorted it. model i.d. walk pg5813001.
just wainting on it rebooting now, delete the file then boot recovery check its worked. make a backup and flash the su file. hopefully.
yup all sorted ext4 on there now (what a great recovery)
sounds really stupid but how do you thank users on here? sorted it i wasnt signed in

[Q] HTC Sensation XE Root dilemma

Hello experts,
Yesterday I tried to root my HTC Sensation XE! First I unlocked this device using the htcdev then u found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668276 and i followd the instructions and finished. In the HBOOT menu this device is still listed as S-ON but i downloaded the Rootchecker app and it confirms that the device is routed.
I am trying to update to the jellybean 4.1.2 using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009.
The cyogenmod bootscreen is stuck loading over 10min so i assumed that i am doing something wrong, so i restored it to the original ROM using clockworks.
If someone has any ideas please feel free to comment and remark.
Thanks =)

Use 4ext with smart flash on,
What it seems to me is with clock work it doesn't write the boot IMG. With that being said it would be stuck in a boot loop.

let me explain the procedure.
First i am turning off my phone and remove the battery.

Acess the recove, in which the 4ext menu appears.
I select wipe phone, and after i select delate chace and dalvik
Then i select the install from sd > chose the zip.
i select the CM10 zip and install it and after i select the gaps too.
reboot the phone.
When rebooting the phone stucks the cyanogenmod boot screen

Okay. I had this same problem you are having when I first started getting familiar with flashing ROMs.
If you correctly installed 4ext recovery, go into your settings and select "smart flash on" this will allow you to flash a ROM correctly with out having your s-off. Try that and let me know.

When you flash another rom.. You should do full wipe aka 4EXT - wipe / format - format all partitions except sdcard
Then flash cm10 rom.. You will come out fine
