You can use every bootloader with every recovery.
You just need s-off to flash a custom recovery.

So... I have a S-on Desire S unlocked with HTCdev, rooted with superoneclick but I can not get the 4EXT recovery working. App is installed and all my partitions are ext4.
I get the red triangle when I go in to Recovery but I even haven't flashed anything. Just trying to make a backup first.
Is there anything else I have to do to get the recovery working ?

Try flash recovery in fastboot. 100% need to work then

Do you mean I have to install it in fastboot?

In start I was on clockworkmod but later I got cache probelms and I changed to 4ext but clockwork I did flash in fastboot.

OK. I uninstalled 4EXT and flashed the recovery image with adb / fastboot.
Now I have a recovery indeed. Thanks man...
I used this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314629 more specific the quote from "Skanob " how to flash it.
Next step is to install the (touch) app again end see if that works to...

Need help to restore original rom.

I really messed up. I didn't do enough reading to upgrade to ICS. I can only access hboot. I downloaded RUU_Pyramid_TMOUS_1.50.531.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223976_signed which is supposed to be tmobile 4g us original rom.
I do not know how to install it. It is not a zip file so when I go into recovery it does not see it.
Are there complete instructions on how to install this file. I do not want to miss a step and mess up my phone further. Soory for not doing proper reasearch and have to bother someone. I was too overconfident before starting procedure.

The RUU is a windows executable file you just have to run, with your phone connected via usb.
Jus remember that it will wipe you phone for all data, so be sure to have a backup.

It should be a zip file and it should be placed in the root folder of your ad card I know this because I had to do it on my sensation 4g let me do some checking through the post and see if I can get you a link and down load the correct ruu so you can upgrade to ics hang tight this is easy

While in h boot, click on fastboot by pushing power button when in h boot, then plug your phone into pc and run ruu.exe as administrator. As long as you have fastboot drivers installed you should be able to run the ruu while the phone is in fastboot.

if you want to use the ruu.exe(restores everything back to stock) then you have to relock first the bootloader
the command is fastboot oem lock
if you want to flash a rom from recovery then:
flash 4ext recovery
enable smartflash from 4ext(because you are on S-ON)
flash the rom
done
note: don't rename it as recovery.img just recovery

about the ruu.exe you don't have to rename anything at all
just run it as it is from pc(double click on it)
only connect the device to pc in fastboot mode(from bootloader and it should say fastboot usb)
by the way do you have 4ext installed?
and secondly do you want to return to stock condition or just want to flash a custom rom?

I would like to not have stock but at this point I'll take an. Thing. I'm trying to use kgs to get firmware seeing if that is my Problem. I used a recovery to be honest I'm now sure

[Q] Need Help - Xe (ICS) bootloader says S-OFF but superuser says not rooted

Hi
I have a sensation xe. I rooted it before upgrading it to ICS (before is GB).
I upgraded it by flashing official ics rom due to I previously installed clockworkmod recovery which stop me from normal way of upgrade.
After upgrade everything's fine, but superuser and clockworkmod gone.
When I install superuser it says binary not found. but I checked my bootloader it says S-OFF.
What should I do?
Android - 4.0.3
Software number - 3.32.401.105
Hboot - 1.27.0000
Radio - 11.22.3504.07_M

Nevermind.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda premium

I don't know what is that, I think not.
I flashed it using RUU_PYRAMID_LE_ICS_35_S_HTC_Europe_3.32.401.105_R_Radio_11.69.3504.00U_11.22.3504.07_M_release_251961_signed.exe

If you find it locked you have to unlock first with htcdev.com but many user won't recommend it but at this time I think it the only way to unlock the bootloader, install the custom recovery(CWM) and install the superuser(root the phone).
You can get the details on this post.

But I already have it rooted before upgrade. I thought it will remain rooted? coz my bootloader shown S-OFF

OK, you have S-off. I guess you should be able to flash Revolutionary firmware from Boot loader, then use fast boot to flash the recovery, then flash root from the recovery you installed earlier and voila.

Or, flash a firmware that contains recovery and then flash super user (just make sure its the correct firmware.) (I don't remember exactly where I seen this firmware, but I'm sure I have. Maybe here or somewhere else)

If you are S-Off you can root it again (because you flashed a RUU you lost root)
1) need to have a custom recovery (CWN or 4EXT). There is a nice tool to instal 4ext recovery HERE or download this PG58IMG. Just put it in your sd card and flash it from bootloader.
2) Then Download and install from custom recovery the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Done!

They don't recommend it because it doesn't unlock the bootloader completely. Read more and please don't recommend it, it's incorrect. His bootloader is already unlocked, hence he is s off. As already mentioned he needs to root and install Recovery.

Correct. By revolutionary you install CWM and then you can switch to 4ext. same as I did but in his case he doesn't need to use Revolutionary because already unlocked and s-Offed (and also because Revolutionary doesn't support Hboot 1.27). He needs just to install a custom recovery by a PG58IMG and superuser to get root again.

If the. Hboot is the issue why not just get an older one, put it in a zip called pjwhatever.zip (not sure I own a wildfire) and then just put into bootloader and flash it. He has s-off like.??

Hboot has nothing to do. The OP wants just root the phone again after upgrade to ICS.
Also, I think we are hitchhiking the thread with OT postings.

because he probably did what I just did. A quick google search on how to root a HTC Sensation (XE) will bring up a page saying you can use this tool for the Sensation, even though the tool is for the One X.

If your phones boot loader is unlocked
With the htcdev unlock tool and your already using 4ext then make sure smart flash is enabled (recovery > tools > enable smart flash) then do a full wipe and reflash the rom.

well, some of us, like myself didn't use a guide from this site. but come here to look for our solution. for example the guide I followed made no mention of this 4ext...
hell, even after spending my day trying to fix my phone, I still don't know how to install a ROM properly...

But that's your problem you used tutorial and even tools for completely different phone. Furthermore, you didn't read tutorials here, but you have the nerve to crawl here to find help. That's hypocritical to say at least. That being said, XDA's purpose is NOT to fix your problems that arised from your inability to think before you act.

So, I rooted my phone, then downloaded some apps. I downloaded rom toolbox too. There, I downloaded Cyanogenmod 9. I Installed it and the Cyanogenmod's startup screen thingy was there. So, I removed the battery and rebooted it. Then I started doing all these random things with "HTC All In One Rooting Kit". I flashed CWM 5.8.2.7 Touch, DoomRecovery B! (Custom SWM), Interim (Custom CWM), Stock and Kernel. Then I started rebooted my phone and now it freezes to the HTC starting screen, not even the Cyanogenmod loader pops out anymore.

Try to do a wipe and start it up.

Yes it will do nothing.. You just flashed a recovery.. You need to use that and flash the cm9.1 again
Use that guide as reference and follow it to the letter
(except instead of superwipe use 4EXT - wipe/format- format all partitions except sdcard)

Okay. I got the 4EXT working, did wipe/format. I need that RUU though, and I don't know my firmware radio. How am I supposed to find it out.

Your firmware will be listed under settings,software information, more, base band. it will give your information.usually ICS roms are either 3.32 or 3.33 . I hope this helps.
It will read out the radio and the radio will coincide with the firmware. Example my radio is 11.76.A3504.00p _ this coincides with 3.33 firmware .
sent from HTC sensation, soff, 3.33 firmware, viper Rom, sense 4.1, kernel version PYD-X stable 3.1, mugen battery 3800mah. Please press thanks if I helped in anyway.
