According to Koushik Dutta's twitter there are some issues with the sensation touch recovery
https://twitter.com/#!/clockworkmod/status/164780853703098369

not working yet
As of this morning about 6am EST, I flashed the new recovery and according to a recent tweet by koush there is a problem with the recovery. My experience after flashing both using fastboot and through clockwork rom manager, was that booting to recovery failed and my phone just rebooted into android. Just for the record, my phone is a tmo 4g w/ICS firmware 3.24 unlocked (revolutionary)/Hboot 1.17 running tripnraver beta001 cm9 unofficial with his crisp001 kernel.
edit...beat me to it...

i didn't try yet. is there any other info?

The problem is that the latest firmeware we pretty all use have no fastboot command
But happy to see it's in dev !

i was gonna flash it thru pg58img method cause adb is being gay but since its having issues ill wait for a stable release

Thanks for the update but ill stick with 4EXT...its the best!

No issues using the 4EXT touch recovery RC3 with the new firmware. If you need to have the touch recovery I recommend checking that out (I personally want to save my volume and power buttons).

says it flashed but when i got there it was old lame recovery... got a long way to go to catch ext4 anyways... i mean koush made all this possible today but he done let cwm fall too far behind... for the sensation anyway... madmaxx is a genius and prolly gonna be a rich one if he spreads to most devices...

No, you can hboot (PG58IMG.zip) or fastboot flash it, but still won't load, at least for me anyway.

5.8.0.9 works. Just worked with koush and others on irc to test.

Yep, working for me.

Once i download this can i flash through rom manager or what? Thanks

help with ext4 recovery!

Hi all, I have an s-on unlocked htc sensation. Last night I went to bed and woke up to a phone that was dead (forgot to plug in) so I charged it a little bit and then turned it on..only to find that it just stays at the white HTC screen. I then went into recovery and tried to reinstall a clockwork mod recovery(which has worked plenty of times) but this time it said "the folder does not contain any zip files, so I thought, Oh well time to do a fresh install anyway, so I went into the 4ext recovery/wiped everything, then turned on the smart ext..ran super wipe, then installed the elegancia 4.0 2.7, everything went fine...until it finished, EXT4 recovery then says something like creating backup..blah blah blah..then says backup failedthere was an error processing the command (not the exact terminology)..so then i let it restart and again it is stuck at the white htc screen. I then reboot into recovery again, and it says smart 4ext has been disabled, go to tools etc to re-enable..report your error blah blah blah..I just dont get it, i have done this many times, but I am clueless on why it wont boot..i have the latest files etc too 1.27.00 bootloader as well, I am unable to do anything with adb right now..I am at work, but really need a phone today..can someone help possibly?..Thanks a million....Larry

There are lot of blahs in the post

Not possible as you would be using the kernel when you are booting the phone (just like how formatting c drive (where windows is normally installed) is not possible when using windows)

eah...makes sense...ok cool...thanks for your help..ill get it done this afternoon....

It'll be easier to help if you can provide exact errors you are getting and exactly what you did. Try installing an AOSP ROM and let us know the error you are getting. I've never used smart EXT so maybe let it be disabled and try.

I'm a gnex owner but I rooted my friends sensation Yesterday using the toolkit in the Dev section. So everything unlocked and rooted fine, I go to flash him a Jb ROM and it gets stuck at the boot screen. So I messed around with it and figured out it still had s-on , so I try to flash a sense ROM thinking you can flash them with s-on but they still get stuck at boot screen any help and ideas what's wrong?

What's the best way to get this recovery without abd?

get s-off, its not that hard .. not sure why everyone is so hesitant to do it
then install 4ext, you can do it through a terminal on the phone or get the 4ext updater app thing
for ICS/JB youll need to update the firmware as well

Soff is a good thing. You might want to s off his device
I'm s off and I don't regret it. It just makes things a bit easier. I agree with above post. It's definitely worth the extra effort.

Hi,
Go to settings /power and untick fastboot.
Power the phone off,or remove the battery.
Power on holding the volume down and power button.
Go to recovery and enable "Smartflash" just before installing the ROM.
Should be fine after that.

Root & Mod AT&T HTC One X

Can't find what I need to root and install custom mods on my HTC One X.
I have already unlocked the bootloader and have tryed to install a custom recovery but all that did was make my device say **Tampered**.
Any help would be great.

So when you go into your bootloader their is no recovery option? What recovery did you try to install? If your on PC you can use this tool, but before you do anything you should maybe read this big huge awesome helpful sticky.

There is a recovery option but when I go into it a HTC screen appears that says "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside HTC without HTC's written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action." I think I used the wronf version of CWM.

That screen is supposed to appear once you've installed a custom recovery. But then it should go into recovery. If its hanging on that screen, then yes there is a problem.
You haven't provided nearly enough info. What firmware version were you on before you unlocked the bootloader (2.20, 3.18, etc.)? What method did you use to unlock the bootloader? How did you try to install recovery? Post links to what you used, so we can see if they were the right versions.

1. I'm on 2.20.
2. I used an All-In-One-Toolkit.To be honest I don't know if I used the right one.
3. Tryed to install it throught the toolkit. I don't know it it actually installed or not.
What is this **Tampered** thing on the bootloader as well? It didn't show until after I tryed to install a recovery.

If you're not even sure you used the right one, are you sure you really wanna be doing this? I mean, you're doing things to your phone that can really screw it up (brick it) if you don't know what you're doing. Do you know how to use fastboot?

Yea I want to do it. I know how to use fastboot but this is kinda new to me. All the other android phones didn't require so many steps.
TL;DR - I just want to root my HTC and install recovery/customs roms.

All phones are different. Just because you rooted others before doesnt mean they'll all be the same.
Download twrp 2.3.3.1 and flash it then wipe cache with fastboot then select recovery and flash a Rom.
Before rooting a new phone, you should always read the stickies or at least the faq to find out any quirks or steps that need to be taken to achieve what you want.
I've rooted a Sony Xperia, an evo 3d and this one xl. They were all different.

When I try to flash a recovery this is what I get.
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
C:\One_X_ATT_All-In-One_Kit_v3.0\data>
Using the HTC One X Toolkit.
Edit: Flashed the TWRP 2.3.1.1 through fastboot in cmd. Now it's just hanging at the HTC splash. Should I keep waiting?

Have you tried to boot into an OS or into recovery?

Also remember with CM10 or other AOSP roms you will need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware. And before you do that you have to supersu and s-off. To be honest I went through all this over the past two days, and when i got to the stage your at (rooted, unlocked, custom recovery) I went with RageXL (a sense rom) and got my phone to a stable state, crossed my fingers and did the super-su by hand, then s-off. It was much easier and less stressful once I had a stable and working phone again.

Agreed. OP shouldn't be doing anything to the phone they are not completely sure of. Failure to follow this bit of advice can turn your phone a very expensive paperweight.
Also, be aware that with S-on, you need to extract boot.img and flash from fastboot every time you flash a ROM. Failure to do this is a very common cause for being stuck on the boot (HTC logo) screen after flashing a ROM.

I was able to flash a rom through Recovery. I flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2328822. Think I will stick with it for awhile. Any other ROMS compatible with 2.20?

all, but if you're s-on you need to fastboot flash boot boot.img whereby boot.img is extracted from the rom you're flashing.

Yes. I meant to say that I had used fastboot to flash this rom. Satisfied now. Think I this is all I will need for now.
Thanks for the help everyone. Much appreciated.

Oh.. that's a necessary step to flash boot.img from the Rom.zip ... It's the kernel.
Unless you are S-OFF, you are gonna need to flash the kernel every time you flash a ROM.

Do a research on S-OFF before doing it. It poses some problems too.
