Hi,
I have a Desire S, which cannot go into recovery. Whenever I try to access recovery from hboot, it vibrates, the screen is black for half a second, then the white screen with green HTC logo, then it stuck there, forever.
I tried to flash revolutionary's recovery, but it's same. Any help?
Thanks!
Hmm... I think you don't have a proper recovery. Can you boot normally?? If yes, just boot normally, install 4EXT updater and flash 4EXT recovery from it. The free version of the app is here - http://www.4ext.net/get.php?apk

Does you device boot normally? I don't believe that you have rooted your device yet?
Following the ENG Hboot flash, does your device now say:
Code:
SAGA PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.98.2000
?
FYI you can change the your thread #1 title by editing post #1 and using the Advanced EDIT function. button says "Go Advanced" Its also good practice to put [SOLVED] at the start of your previous threads title, so that people know that that problem is fixed.
Thank ben_pyett, shrome99, I update that another post.
My phone's HBOOT is now as follow:
Code:
SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG8810000)
...
I cannot boot , and cannot go into recovery
I don't know whether it's rooted or not - may be not. Any solution for me now?

hello to all!
i hope this is the right place for my problem. today i unlocked my girlfriends desire s with the htc unlock method. then i rooted it and installed superuser, 4ext and rommanger. when i now want to flash a custom rom, the phone restarts, gives me a few seconds a black screen with a green sign in the middle, after this the sign turns red and the phone freezes.
i cant find´any method here to get s-off (the hboot is 2....) all methods for s-off and hboot downgrade that i found here didn´t work..
any solution?
All i want is to flash a custom firmware...

Set up fastboot using this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1272595
Then, enter fastboot mode on your phone and in CMD (in the directory where you have fastboot) do this -
fastboot flash recovery PATH TO RECOVERY.img

PATH TO RECOVERY is the path to the recovery eg. C:\downloads\CWM.img
i get to work this and was able to flash a cfw in clockwork-touch-mod but after flashing 2 different cfws, my phone sticks at the green htc logo... i´m so pi**** off.
i guess the problem is that i got hboot 2... and s-on, but i think i have read that when you use the the htc unlock method, you do not have to have s-off

Hello!
My HTC Sensation XE have gone in a bootloop after i rooted it. I've tried several ROMs, and I can't figure how to make the loop stop.
I'm able to go in hboot, and 4EXT recovery.
My hboot looks like this;

Any idea how to make the loop stop?
I want to use the HyperSensation rom, if u need to know that to help me!
Thx for answers!
Did you wipe before installing the rom? If not this is what is causing your issue! In recovery you need to do the wipe.
Hope this helps! The thank button is there for a reason!

If you mean putting a ROM on the SD card, and flash it via 4ext, then yes. Thats the only way ive tried to flash roms. Might that be the reason for the loop?
Radio?
Shoudln't the hboot say something about radio?
mine doesn't, but it I remember that it did the first time i went in Hboot.
If that's the problem, how can i fix it?

First thing first do the whole first Step of this guide to S-OFF your Sensation. Do it very carefully and follow all steps!. Don't get bored to read.
Then follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21711154#post21711154
VERY VERY VERY CAREFULLY Find your CID and MID as the thread says (I recommend using the method 1. fastboot getvar cid
2. fastboot getvar mid). Then download the correct firmware from the same thread corresponding to your CID. The correct version is 3.32 if you want to flash ICS roms. Just find the correct one to download.
Then follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=966814&stc=1&d=1332793798
to install a custom recovery. There is a file called "Recovery flash guide - READ ME.txt". Do as it says EXACTLY .
Then just download whatever rom you want, place it on your sd and flash it using the Install zip from sd-card option located in the recovery (access it by pressing volume up+power when the phone is turned off)
This is a guide for a specific ROM (Android Revolution HD) but the procedure is similar for any ROM. just flash different zip

You needed to supercid first. Now run ics ruu which will wipe all ur partitions any will install stock Rom and recovery. Then supecid first. When you install any different Rom always superwipe.

how would i be able to supercid if i cant even get to my home screen?
1. Remove your sdcard (because you have a PG58IMG on it and I don't know which one).
2. Boot into bootloader and connect with adb and enter the following:
Code:
adb devices
[COLOR="Red"]make sure your device is detected[/COLOR]
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
[COLOR="red"]wait for it to write[/COLOR]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
[COLOR="red"]wait to reboot into bootloader[/COLOR]
fastboot getvar cid
[COLOR="red"]confirm it reads "11111111"[/COLOR]
(now power off your device)
3. Now using a card reader on your computer, delete your current PG58IMG (because I don't know what you have on there).
Download the 3.32 firmware from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412618
Download the superwipe***.zip from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
Place them on the root of your sdcard and put the card back into your phone.
4. Now boot into bootloader (power/volume down) and wait for it to detect the firmware. (volume up to accept) wait for it to flash and then press power to reboot when it prompts.
5. Power off, remove sdcard and delete your PG58IMG on computer, re-insert and boot into bootloader and select recovery.
Select and flash the superwipe***.zip
Select and flash your MIUI ROM
***NOW REBOOT INTO YOUR NEW MIUI***

If you are installing a custom ROM, such as ARHD, you are automatically rooted.
Why not do this?

Hello everybody,
I would very much appreciate any help as I am quite desperate with this issue please.
I have just rooted my HTC Sensation Z710e and it is currently S/On. I have installed OrDroid V9.0 and i didn't get any error message during the installation. However, after the phone restarted, it froze at the HTC Sensation logo and it wouldn't load at all.
I did a complete wipe a couple of times and reinstalled everything again and again, but it still wouldn't work. Now I am unable to use the phone & I don't even know how to restore the initial HTC ROM to make the phone work.
Please help.
Thank you very much.

After you flash 4ext recovery you will easily be able to enable smart flash then download Rom. Everything should be working correctly at this point.v make sure and wipe cash and dalvik before installation.

Hi Guys, hoping I can get some help.
I've been working on a sensation but it's got me a bit stumped. The phone is sticking on the boot screen and I cant access the recovery. I've tried taking the battery and then holding down the volume key whilst powering back up. I've tried using KGS utility but it cant find the phone. It's been a while since I have fiddled about with phones so I might be missing something but if I could just get back in the recovery I'm pretty sure I could sort it out.
Any help is gratefully appreciated
Hi there can some other issues. The first, what os you're using, I mean hboot version? The problem is that every android os version needs its own hboot. One case of solving is to install a clear ROM, but you'll loose all your info. Another is to install just hboot that supports yous OS. You'll have to find it out.
Update of hboot runs from windows commander, you can download it from internet easily. If you're using mac, sorry cannot tell anything.
Good luck.

I downloaded the recovery image and put in the android folder with the fastboot and adb etc but on step four when it says 'click on Open command window here' I don't have that option, maybe because I'm on win xp? I can drop the recovery file on CMD window though and get the following,
C:\Android\recovery.img
Cheers

are you sure that you hold shift + right click on the white space of the folder?
i have left xp for years and i do not remember them at all
also by saying ''drop the recovery in CMD window'' do you mean in the folder of android?

Yeah I've shift and right clicked the the white space in the folder but no option to 'Open command window here'
I'll google it to see if its because it's win xp.
And yeah sorry I should have explained a bit more in detail but I opened the command prompt box (cmd.exe) and then the recovery image that I downloaded from step 2, I just dragged and dropped it onto the command prompt, if that makes sense :good:
followed step 2 but still unable to get access to recovery
None of the sotware I'm using to recover the phone is finding the device..bricked?
Before doing anything try going to bootloader first
Power off phone.. Remove battery..reinsert it..Then hold vol down + power for some time..It will take you to bootloader
Then post all the details bootloader shows here.. Then we can continue further

I finally managed to get in the recovery by using the volume down key and power button. I then used super wipe to clean things up. Then I tried to restoring to my original ROM that I'd backed up but I'm still getting stuck on the boot screen. So I then tried to get access to the recovery again using the same method, volume down and the power button, but it wont access it again

have you done remvoing battery and reinserting it?
btw if you could post your bootloader details it will help us in helping you
1. what is the version of hboot ?
2. is it UNLOCKED or not ?
3.is the Phone SOFF ?
4. Also the radio version
5. is it gingerbread rom you have a backup of ?
back in the recovery again, I think the volume key is slightly broken

froyo rom?on sensation?
nevermind.the problem is when you are flashing a new rom it doesn't flash the boot partition by itselF(S-ON devices)
the only thing you have to do is download an ICS rom(because of your hboot version you have 3.32fw or3.33fw)
enable smartflash from recovery and then flash the rom
froyo it can't be run in that fw version not even GB.
cool - thanks for the advice. I'll give it a go now

I've flashed a ICS rom and the phone is now booting up fine. So I can I go ahead and put on the ROM I want or do I have to enable smartflash?
If your S on, yes you must enable smart flash. Every time you flash a rom. Best wishes

A few days ago I decided to finally replace my stock ROM with cyanogenmod 9.
After lots of reading and lots of trial and (even more) error I managed to gain S-off.
"The internet" tells me this is a very good situation because now I have the possibility to flash a new recovery and with that new recovery gain root.
And after gaining root installing cyanogenmod is possible.
Is the above information correct? if not, could you explain or elaborate? this makes it easier for me to grasp the huge pile of information that there is laying around on the internets.
The actual question I'm having is: How can I install a new recovery? and how can I check if a new recovery has been installed?
Information given when starting up with volume down + power button:

Yes that is correct. You need now to ulnlock your bootloader, root and install custom recovery. Then you will be able to install your favorite custom rom. To unlock your bootloader go to htcdev.com and follow instructions. To root and install custom recovery the easiest way (in my opinion) is to use one of the multi-tasks tools available for sensation , you can find these tools here

or here

Please read the instructions carefully before you start the process to avoid any possible risls of bricking your phone.
Please make sure you have htc drivers installed, and htc sync program uninstalled.
Good luck.

Ur boot loader is good to go everything Is set just install 4ext app from market and install recovery from the app as I can see that u have followed the JuopunutBear methord it means that the superuser should be installed in ur phone and u have a superuser permission kk
After that all u just need to flash the cm ROM or any ROM and enjoy kk

Do you mean this application?
*wants to put link here but can't atm. I mean the 4EXT Recovery Control 2.29euro*
Is there a way to check if I have superuser installed and/or have superuser permission?

the application Root Checker by JOEYKRIM says I do NOT have proper root acces.
Are you saying I should have an application called "superuser" on my phone? I can't find it.

Thanks this post was really helpfull.
Turns out the all the other recoveries I flashed weren't really succesfull despite the succes-messages.
After flashing the recovery, recovery mode was something different then normal start-up:laugh:
I used the method from the same guide to gain root acces using recovery mode and after that i succesfully flashed cyanogenmod 9 also using recovery mode (2 attempts were made first time i didnt wipe the factory presets) .
Forcing a paper clip down into the hardware of the phone was usefull after all!
Thanks all for the help & advice!!!
To really check if I understand it now, can someone say if the info below is correct?
The bootloader is used to load the kernel and after that the rom runnning the kernel.
Recovery is only activated when booting with volume down + power and is used to change the rom.
S-off means that some safe-guards are turned off enabling more changes to be made.

Glade it work welcome to flashing world man
No, ur info is not 100%right here is some more info
Boatloader is required to flash firmware /radio etc ...(highly risky do not do anything stupid or bricked ur phone) no need to touch it again ....
Unlock boatloader = u can use Manny fast boot command when required or can flash different recoveries etc
Locked boatloader = u have no control over device.....
Recovery - it is mist important as it formats phone and install new ROMs and kernels mods etc
Soff = security off by the company and u can now modify ur device kk
Now I think your info will be updated

the only thing you have to do is do a nandroid backup from recovery just in case
then flash the rom

3.32 is what it says under software number(does this need an upgrade to 3.33 or is it OK?)

avoid that
every time you are entering to bootloader always checking the sdcard for pg58img.zip or pg58diag.zip file
with your current firmware it is OK
