Locked myself out - how to flash new recovery?

Good Afternoon to all of you!
So here is my problem.
I S-Offed my HTC Sensation and afterwards installed Revolutionary Recovery following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Afterwards I installed the Firmware 3.30 and Virtuouse S4X Rom successfully on my device. But I wasnt to happy with this Rom so I decided I want to go for Energy Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226564).
Unfortunalety, the flashing of this ROM doesnt worked, while flashing it said "Status 1 Error". I searched in the post of this ROM and found out that its recommended to install it with a earlier release of Revolutionary Recovery or better with 4EXT Touch Recovery.
My big problem is: How do I install 4EXT Touch Recovery when I dont have any bootable ROM on my device anymore?? I tryed the Android Flasher but it didnt work...
Please help, I dont know what to do.
Best regardy,
Journeyman91

Please tell me you have a nandroid back up to revert to. And are you SuperCID as well? If you did back up, just revert back to the prior rom, I assume stock Sense. Then go to the market or the threads here to download the 4ext recovery.

Ever get ur phone up and running yet?

Stuck at "optimizing android app"

I've a huge problem
I've a Sensation 4g I was on stock ics and i followed the guide to get root, htc dev unlock e CWM... (still s.off) after that I installed 4ext and ARHD 6.7.0.. and everything was fine..
Then i tried to install cyanogenmod 9 which requires CWM again.. so i've installed rom manager and installed cwm through it..
I was stuck on the bootloader image, so i tried to flash back my recovery which of course isn't working because i have CWM now and so i tried to flash back ARHD but it will get untill the beginning when it says "optimizing app" and it restarts and again and again....
Anyway i can fix this problem?? I tried to flash another rom "energy ics" which don't require 4ext.. but i got the same results!!! what should i do?! did i brick my phone?
anyway to install 4ext without having a rom working?

Did you install the correct firmware? ICS based Roms is usually 3.32, firmware ?

Let's say right now I've a big confusion in my head.. Beore I had ICS working.. i never even tried to downgrade so i should have the correct firmware right?
the last time i check i had 1.32 (and don't remember but it was the last one installed with the tmous OTA)...
Maybe when i did my first format of the sd should i've installed something before the rom?

can anyone giving me the exact path of the cwm backup?

andre read my previous post to flash 4EXT this doesn't require a working rom
also in normal the backups are present on SDCRAD
ie /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
so once you format the sdcard you will lose the backups

If I read this correct you have the official stock firmware that was with the T-Mobile OTA ICS update. This means your bootloader is locked even though you are S-off. You need to flash a engineered Hboot to solve this. Go to this thread to get a firmware package with this. Go to the "User-Friendly Firmware" thread by Kohr-Ah, or you can also use the firmware from GROG88's thread here.

{HELP} device is keep booting into recovey -- SOLVED --

To the Guru of this forum. After my last rom flashing my device is keeping booting into recovery :crying:. Is it briked ? If so my only hope is the unbricking project ? Thanks in advance.

What recovery are you running?
Can you use the power menu within recovery to boot into bootloader?
Also, please provide as much pertinent info as possible, ie: rom you flashed, firmware, s-off or s-on, locked or unlocked. With your description it's basically like saying, "my car makes a noise all the time. what is causing it?".

Its not bricked.If u can enter recovery
Sent from my HTC sensation

Sorry you are right:
What recovery are you running? 4Ext
Can you use the power menu within recovery to boot into bootloader? yes
The device is HTC unlocked with S-On.
Rom JBMIUI v4.1 2.8.31 R2.
HBOOT 1.27.0000
firmware 3.33.401.6
I've format everything but SD. Restored the most recent back up done today before flashing. Once it reboots HTC logo comes up once, black screen, HTC logo, 4Ext is coming up saying that smartflash it is set to update the boot partition on next system start asking if this should be removed.
I've downloaded and installed again PG58IMG *different files using bootloader
I've founded a 3.33.401.6-Unsecured-Boot.img,+Root+Busybox zip file that can be installed via recovery but it did not help.
At this point I need a bit of help to look into the right direction and I'm not sure that Unbrick_Pyramid is the right way.
Thanks again.

Try turning off smartflash and flash a 3.33 stock rom to see if it will boot.
What was your last working setup, and what were you trying to install?

Hi. Manage to flash a stock 3.33.
It stopped to reboot straight into recovery.
Sits now on HTC logo now for about 10 mins. I plan to let him run for 1 hr and see what happens.
Was thinking to install CWM on the basis that could be a 4ext recovery issue, toughs?

If you can install clockworkmod that may help.
Tge device isnt getting the message that it has already booted into recovery once. So something may be jacked up with 4ext.
Clockwork may bypass all that when it doesnt know what to do with that signal to run smartflash.
Worst case scenario...put a full pm58img containing a rom and recovery on the sf card and flash that through bootloader.
You should still be able to get to bootloader as the device looks for that option first.

Hallo. Ok installed CWM. Can please direct me to a full pm58img as you mentioned ? Thx.

And did that help? Are you able to get into recovery without errors now? If so you should be able to flash a fresh version of any ROM.
Try that first. Get any ROM. Flash it. See if it boots.
If you have successfully replaced 4EXT I will bet a fresh flash of a ROM will now boot.
Also worth a shot is replacing or upgrading the firmware, as that could be what's sending the phone into recovery on each boot (though this is less likely that 4EXT just being broken)
Flash a firmware PM58IMG like 3.32 or 3.33 and see if that helps.
But for starters, put a fresh ROM on the SD card and flash it with CWM. (BE SURE IT'S A ROM THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE 4EXT!!)
Once you've got it all fixed you can switch back to 4EXT. I have a feeling it was just the copy you were running that got botched. The software itself is solid and stable. A new copy shoudl work fine now.

CWM v5.0.2.0 was installed fine.
3.33 firmware installed once again.
Using this I've installed ROM that I already did in the past w/o luck, they all sit on the HTC logo. Is like the initial boot sequence is broken. Is boot.img part of the firmware or ROM ?
Trying to download some additional ones.
Thanks,

The more details you give, the better the answers will be. Don't consider any detail too small.
What do you mean you installed ROM's that you had done in the past? Do you mean you are trying to restore a backup made with 4EXT?
That won't work. You need to flash a fresh version of the ROM after wiping.
Also, CWM won't install some ROM's that you may have used in the past. What ROM are you trying to install?
The HTC logo that first pops up when you hit the power button is part of the firmware.
Make sure you do a full wipe of everything but the SD card from within CWM. Get whatever's causing the problem off that way. Then flash a fresh install of a ROM from scratch.

Hi.
I did not use any backup only fresh ROMs: ARHD, Elegantia, but also stock ROMs I could find.
I've tried also some PG58IMG with ROM included.
Cheers.

Arhd and elegencia wont work with cwm. So there is your isdue. Try cm9 or 10 to see if you can boot one of those.

Hallo, after trying all option the following did work for me:
- re-lock bootloader via fastboot oem lock
- apply stock ROM founded in this list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
- rebooted fine
I guess that HTC RUU had some superpower and erase and installed whatever file(s) were corrupted.
Now I'm on stock 3.6 - fw 3.33.401.106 - radio 11.76A.3504.00UU_11.24A.3504.31_M
HBOOT 1.29 - S-ON - Relocked.
Standard Recovery.
Now I'm reading how to return my device to S-OFF w/o damaging it again.
Many thanks to skipjacks & groog88 :good:

[Q] trying ROMs

doing some reading here and there I would like to try a couple other ROMs, if only for s&g's.
Can I have different ROM.zips on the SD (provided there is room) and flash one or another to try them out?
Or do I have to remove one for another?

Hi,
You can keep as many ROMS on your sd card as there is room.
Make sure you have a nandroid backup of a good ROM,so you can always restore your phone to a working condition.
Use the wipe/format all partitions (except sd card) before any new installation.

thanks malybru.
whats nandroid? What is 4 EXT? I've seen that mentioned a lot as well?
I used PG58IMG for Recovery.
I assume I'm done with that?
Just load a ROM.zip onto the SD and flash w/HBOOT?
I assume I will have to reload gapps.zip each time or might Play sync work and reload my previous apps?

nandroid is a backup of your rom in case when you are using or flashing something in your device and maybe has bad results.
then from recovery you can restore your nandroid to revert your device to its previous condition.
4ext is a recovery that many of us is using it.if you have installed cwm recovery i suggest to install 4ext.it's better
rom always is flashing from recovery

I assume that ROM manager would allow me to make a "nandroid"?
Yes I did use cwm recovery. Whats makes 4EXT a better choice?

Hi,
4EXT can be installed using THIS TOOL
Look in 4EXT for a section called backup and restore.
Are you s-off or s-on?
I would not bother with ROM Manager.
Gapps will need to be reloaded if you do a full wipe of your previous CM ROM

Yes, you can have as any as can fit on the card. Remember to wipe clean if you go to another ROM.

S-Off
I'll look at 4ext. Will it replace PG58IMG automatically or do I need to remove that?
Related, I can't find the Fastboot switch under Settings in the CM9 ROM.
Do I know longer need to think about that? Or is it somewhere else?

Hi,
If you run the 4EXT,it will overwrite CWM.
There is no fastboot switch in CM

Thanks again,
doing the nandroid b.u now, then onto 4ext.
I was using the default ICS browser with CM9. It lacked easy access to bookmarks.
The "quick" labs functioned intermittently, other wise I'd have used them to access bookmarks.
I tried ICS Browser+ and that just crashed repeatedly.
Might any of this change with 4ext and another ROM choice? Right now I'm steering towards ARHD/ICS.
Or are there better (the only thing I'd like is easy access to the short list of bookmarks I had from GB).
And is there a Fastboot option in 4ext or will I still be beyond that?
I assume to flash both 4ext and a new ROM I need to turn on USB debugging?

Hi,
You get different browsers with different ROMS.
You can also install one of your choice from the market.
Fastboot option appears in Sense ROMS.
USB debugging is in all ROMS.
If you flash ARHD,it will install 4EXT for you as part of the installation.
Are you going from GB to ICS?
Are you s-off?
You will need to update your firmware for that.

malybru,
I have dl'd the Android_Revolution_HD_Super_Wipe_Sensation.zip.
Back up my current ROM.
gapps.zip is still on my SD.
At this point do I drop the .zip on the SD and reboot recovery (4ext touch) and flash the new ROM and that's it?
Or do I need to wipe the davlik + cache, or wipe data factory reset, or format system or what?

Hi,
Don't use arhd superwipe.
If you have 4 ext, then, format all partitions(except sd card)
Back up your ROM first.
Drop the new ROM onto your sd card, and flash it from recovery.
You only need gapps if you use cm.

Most ROM threads tel u what u need to do if you're installing from a different ROM. superwipe is only needed of you' re going to ARHD.

OK. I dl'd ARHD 1.2.2 T-Mobile.zip
There is some other info on the ARHD thread page here.
"3.33.401.x firmware is required!" I guess based on what you've written above, that isn't a concern for me.
" HTC Sensation 4G (U.S. T-Mobile PG5810000 | T-MOB010) users can flash this for better signal and data speeds!" Concern or wait to see what I get after flashing?

Hi,
3.33 firmware is not crucial.But it does have the latest radio
ARHD will work fine on 3.32
Flash first and see how your signal works.
Although,I believe the T-MOB add-on does work well.

how do I check what firmware I have?
4ext doesn't say.
Revolutionary shows the radio 11.23.3504.07_M2
HBOOT is 1.27.1100.

[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!)

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.

Yea, that's exactly what I ended up doing... it's not clear on any thread though...
Thanks
I went back to CM, didn't like maximus so much and it didn't fix my EDGE only problem so

It went back to 48mb
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?
