Clockworkmod 3.0.2.6?

Has anyone tried it out? Since I don't have eng s off, I have a black screen in clockwork 3.0.0.6. I flashed the newest 3.0.2.6 and it shows up. So has anyone tried flashing a rom with it?

You don't have to have ENG S-Off to use Clock Work Mod.. Just need Radio S-Off.
there be a difference in the two.

Yup works fine... flashed Cog HD sense and non sense with it , RCmix GB
and Phoneix with no issues.. i can't downgrade it to 2.*.*.* for some reason couldn't even do anything lower than the newest one.

i know that. but with bubbys one click, it leaves you with a blank screen.

Apparently not universally -- I used the One Click an had zero issues.
Also, on topic, I've flashed the latest CWM and flashed a couple zips through it no trouble. No ROMS or anything major yet though.

Unless this issue shows up actually flashing a different Rom other than the stock Bubbys tool leaves you with (which I haven't done yet), I'm able to reboot into recovery/back-up current Rom, on 3.0.0.6.

What issues does 5.0.0.8 have

Not quite sure iv read so much contradictory info about them all. If there's no issues with that one ill try it but I'd almost rather just go back to the alpharev since there's nothing wrong with it

Well, idk about 5.0.0.8, bt with the latest (5.0.1.0) you lose root access after restoring nand backup(even tho superuser and su r still there). Had to reflash the ROM again.tried this with two diff roms and same issue. On 4.0.1.4 I don't have this problem after restoring a nand backup

Recovery

What is the best recovery? I know most rooms use revolutionary but what are the peeks of the other ones and why not stick with clock work? I tried figuring it out but don't know.

devs are using more 4ext cause it gives you options to install engines and what not

4EXT has a great UI and is really easy to use.

I've been a clockwork fan for a while, but it took all of 12 seconds to make me happy that I switched to 4EXT. It's REALLY easy to use.
It also shows battery % and the time in recovery. If something is taking a while that can be really handy to know that your battery is running down before you start a flash process. It's no fun is the battery dies in the middle.

What are engines? And what is this 4ext touch thing I hear about? Can you use the touch screen in the recovery? That would be great.
Btw thanks to everyone who replied. I was considering switching but wasn't sure if I should.

I think engines as in the Sony Bravia one? So basically Devs can give you the option while flashing, to select many options and add-ons, for example I just flashed InsertCoin 4.4.1 and halfway through it asked if I wanted to have a 1.5ghz overclock or add BeatsAudio. And Yes, it is touch screen making it a lot easier, as you can imagine!

4 ext recovery is great! The devs have done serious work
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

Thank you to everyone, you guys helped alot. I was skeptical at first but Im gonna give 4ext a try.

4EXT is the best, I use the 4EXT Touch!

4EXT is compatible with clockworkmod, btw. You can restore any backups using 4EXT that were made with clockworkmod, and roms that work with clockworkmod will work with 4EXT. 4EXT is actually based upon the clockworkmod code base.

Can't get to recovery.

So I was going to switch roms on the fly and use flash image gui and found the rom, selected recovery img, and flashed. Success, so i rebooted to recovery. Weird part is, it took me to bootloader. Thinking I hit the wrong thing I moved to recovery and it sends me to fastboot. I assume I did something wrong and have to flash twrp again?

Fastboot reboot recovery

That command doesn't work. To execute a fastboot command you need to have the phone in bootloader right?I tried it from fastboot and from bootloader.

That worked! Im in TWRP now. Thanks so much! Worried I wouldn't be able to boot up but I did. Phew!! Dont do that again... ok then. Is there any way to flash the boot img on the fly without fastboot?

Depends on the Rom. A lot of them you just download Rom to sd card then intall through twrp. No img fastboot needed on a lot of roms when using twrp. What img are u trying to flash?

Idk any. I was trying to flash clean rom 5.1 but it always gets stuck on the boot.
In the current ics version of venom rom the camera refuses to work. I can sometimes open the app but is always a black screen. Any ideas?

Hmm I believe that viper 2.4.2 addresed camera issues. To get that version you have to do ota update and it pushes update to your phone ...so if you have viper 2.4.0 just check for update as you would normally

[Q] JB Sense ROMs not booting for me

I've run multiple versions of CleanROM and also CM10, but anytime I install a Sense based JB ROM (I've tried Newt's, JellyBlam, and a few others), my phone gets stuck on the HTC boot splash, reboots, and enters recovery. I am on HBOOT 1.09 and Ive tried to fastboot flash the boot.img just to be sure, but it still doesn't work? I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, any clue what it is? Thanks in advance.

Are you doing full wipes before flashing?

Tell us what ROM you're trying to install. Also, you're right about the reset. Do all of that in twrp.

And yet it won't work. lol

Maybe you have an init.d folder that is telling the JB ROM to overclock? Could check and delete that first. Otherwise you can double check the md5 of the ROM you're flashing to make sure its not corrupt. Aside from that it might be worthwhile to try a ROM like urdroid which allows you to flash the kernel during the installer.
Dunno man, your problem is a strange one.

Urdroid was another that i tried. It would get to the ROMs boot splash and lock there, but its the only one i recall that even got that far out of the 3 or so that i tried. where would that init.d folder be?

Either the directory of the /sdcard or /. I forget which as I have deleted it. But it should be a folder. Don't delete it if it's by itself.

Really sounds like you are not flashing the boot.img correctly.
Extract the boot.img from the ROM you want to use and install it with:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

You're not alone....

I've been experiencing the same problem on my HTC Sensation 4G for the past couple years since I've had it. I have 3 HTC Sensations in my family and I've been playing around with all 3 phones during the last year. On my sister and my mom's phones, I'm able to install any rom (Sense-based...ARHD, Elegencia; and AOSP/AOKP-based...CM10, Paranoid Android, etc); however, on my own phone, after dozens of installs, trying all types of different kernels and roms, I was only able to install AOSP/AOKP-based ones. I've been running Touchcream ICS rom for awhile, then Paranoid Android, and currently JB Samsation V5 on my HTC and I love it. I'm really not missing out on anything, but it's just weird Sense-based roms just wouldn't boot. After some researching on the forum and experimenting with others, I've deducted that the reason could be very well my own hardware. :victory:
