Installing 4EXT Recovery via HBOOT - HTC Sensation

Is there a way to install 4EXT recovery over HBOOT? I need to wipe all the bad data from a custom ROM install gone wrong & superwipe is giving me e-signature verification failed error. I am hoping to wipe then recover via 4EXT.

Yes it can be packaged as a PG58IMG.zip, placed on the root of Sd-card, and flash normally through hboot.

Thank you. That worked & also got my computer to see the phone for running ADB/ Fastboot commands.

Did something wrong while rooting, how to fix it

after all the trouble I had for flashing a wrong PG58IMG (flashed a firmware instead of clockworkmod)
Now I have Hboot 1.17.2008, clockworkmod flashed, super cid.
I can log into CWM recovery mode, but having trouble installing su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed to have it rooted.

Hi,
Sometimes it takes more than one go.
If it still fails,then look for a different version HERE
Don't worry, it's still fine.
Flash JB ICS Hboot from http://Unlimited.io.
Now, as for flashing recovery, flash an image instead of using the PG58IMG.zip.
I had given your very clear instructions previously, if you don't listen, this is what is going to happen.

[Q] Trouble restoring mytouch Please help!!!!!

I rooted and unlocked the phone also s/off with revolutionary. I wanted to restore to factory so I could install updates and none of the commands in cwm recovery will not work. Will not read sd. can not wipe data to install the PG59IMG.zip file the instructions say you should be on the latest clockworkmod recovery if possible. according to rom manager I'm on 5.0.2.7 cwm. Sorry if posted in wrong place haven't needed help before.
Thanks

Load PG59IMG.zip on the root of a different sd card and boot into the bootloader.
Sent from Spaceball One.
Did that.

Thanks I finally got it what I had to do is go into rom manager. Then hit load rom from sd. check wipe data and system. I then had to go back and delete everything from the sd but the img file. Then load zip from sd. Followed other instructions from there. Worked great.
Thanks

um so you were having no issues with your phone but you wanted htc updates? you felt these updates would be better than a custom rom?
anyway are you following THIS GUIDE?
at what point do you need to use clockwork? maybe im reading this wrong but i think the guide you are using maybe the wrong guide

[HELP] Flashing ROM using fastboot and/or recovery

I've recently S-OFFed my HTC sensation using JuaopunutBear. However, I'm unable to flash any kind of ROM (currently trying to flash CyanogenMod 10.1). In 4ext recovery the installation gets aborted without an error message. I've also had no luck using cwm recovery.
I can't detect my device using adb commands, but strangely enough I'm still able to use fastboot commands. When I go through these steps:
Code:
./fastboot erase cache
./fastboot oem rebootRUU
./fastboot flash zip cm-10.zip
I get an error message during the info parsing. The exact error message is: remote: 24 parsing android-info fail.
I've spent two days reading on this forum but can't find a solution, and getting a little frustrated now.
Oh, by the way, the top of my bootloader screen shows this:
=JuopunutBear=
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1111
RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M
before flashing any rom do a full wipe
if that fails too then use a ruu.exe to return to stock condition
don't be afraid you won't lose S-OFF
after that flash again a custom recovery and then a custom rom from recovery
I ran the RUU.exe and returned the device back to stock, and reflashed recovery. Before I attempt to install the ROM I wipe-out using the "wipe data/facotry reset" option from cwm recovery. But I my installation keeps getting aborted without any error message. When I try the fastboot commands from terminal I still get an error during "info parsing". I'm really struggling getting around this problem.

i would really suggest flashing 4ext recovery, its way better. anyway, in cwm u must wipe/format all. wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache aswell then try flash the rom.
Yeah, well it seems like my main problem right now is getting rooted again. After I ran the RUU.exe I've gone back to 1.27.000 (but it's still S-Off, though). My cid is also stil 11111111, but I can't get pass the parsing every time I try to flash something. This goes to both of the methods, either it's using fastboot commands or by pushing an PG58IMG.zip over to the sdcard. Any advice on how to get rooted again?
Have you tried a different SD card? The SD card could be causing some trouble...
Sent from my Ouya
which rom specifically are you trying to flash?
(if you dont mind telling us)
Still, i would suggest you to use 4ext.

try the stock rom
see how it goes
I finally switched to windows after several attempts of flashing with different methods. And guess what? It worked. The thing is, Mac automatically unzips the downloads so I had to compress them again in order to flash. And I guess somewhere between those steps the files got damaged.
To be honest, I'm a little embarrassed by this. But anyway, thanks for the replies guys.

[Q] SD card appears as only 48MB. how come?

Hi, seems like my One S's sdcard partition has corrupted. been using TWRP 2.500 and recently upadted to 2.6.30 to use the new Maximus Rom. During the rom installation, I wiped the sdcard sectrion by mistake so I couldn't get to flash the zip file, then, I've tried multiple times of recovery.img flashings via RUU mode or on the bootloader screen. Finally when I got the TWRP recovery mode again, it says the sdcard folder only accepts 48 MB so I cannot push any custom roms since they are bigger than 500MB... Any ideas? Should I send it to the repair shops? Please Help!! Thank you!
FYI, my phone was
Tampered, Unlocked, S-off
also, when I press mount button on TWRP, this list appears
Cache
Data
Internal SDcard
System
USB-OTG
but I select Internal SD, the computer says the removable disk has only 48MB of available space.(I wiped it multiple times!)

Yes, don't sweat it. It is repairable.
It's hard for my to tell what you missed, because you didn't write what you did. So just follow installation instructions in the first post of maximus Rom. (flash new firmware, modified recovery, then Rom).

All of these steps work for me except flashing the recovery as a ZIP. I get the wrong CID error (code 42 if i remember correctly). Thing is, I flash the .img directly usign fastboot flash recovery and that works but then the install process says, in android, transfer ROM. At this point, I don't have access to the SD card and the ROM is not in my sd card (it was wiped anyway?)
*EDIT*
Ok I changed my CID to 1111111 and now it works to flash the firmware. I still get partitions errors it seems though.
What I did is flash the stock recovery, clear storage, factory reset, reflashed the firmware given in Maximus thread, then the TWRP given and still, I get problems with my sdcard not mounting?

if you are talking about mounting usb storage in recovery, then no, you cannot do that on Maximus HD rom. (it's a modified TWRP to work on the new firmware)
You can sideload in TWRP or ADB push the rom to your sdcard.
I would give you a link to a page describing it, but search is unavailable right now, have to try later.
But just search that thread with keyword sideload. There you will find the exact commands to load the rom onto your sdcard.

Hi i had the same problem with my htc one s.So i paniced and for some reason i put s-on(I deleted the os from the pc using mount storage) I managed to fix it by installing the recovery as zip. Then i tried to adb sideload a rom but it didn't work. So i went to boot loader then to fast boot and did fastboot flash zip Energyrom.zip. That gave me an error so i went back to recovery to try to side load the rom again, but my sdcard went back to 48mb.I reflashed the recovery (the one from install package) same thing . What do i do????? I need help asap i want my phone back (IM ONLY 12) Please reply asap.

I think the easiest way is to flash the stock recovery and then do a sdcard wipe then a factory reset.
After that, you go through the process as described in the maximus rom thread, you will have to flash with sideload. That should work afterward
I am doomed
Hi guys,
Yesterday I decided to try MaximusROM 10.0.0 HD on my HTC One S, which is s-OFF and with superCID. The problem is: I didn't flashed first the rom as it was said, and I just used the Installation Package, installing directly the firmware.zip and the modified recovery. I tried to follow the steps written before, but now my phone works with the stock rom but it says that there are only 48mb in sd card, and that means that I can't even take photos, because I have no memory left. I found out that my phone, when is booted up, in settings says that I have 15,96GB of space for applications. What can I do?

Place the .zip file on the root of your SD card, boot into recovery, flash the .zip file (no need to wipe anything) reboot recovery, you should now be in new recovery, reboot phone.
Or go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306450 this is an excellent app that will allow you to install recoveries and kernels
