[Q] HBoot 1.27.000, S-Off... How to install CWM

Hi guys,
I've got a Sensation here that has S-OFF and HBOOT 1.27.0000. From here, can I install CWM or 4EXT recovery? If I can, can someone tell me how or point to a guide?
Thanks

I'm in the same boat as I followed EdyyOS's guide to install ICS OTA. So I have S-OFF and HBOOT 1.27.0000 but I'm not rooted or have CWM. I can't use Rom Manager as I don't have root. When I try to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 there seems to be something missing as I can't get the recovery to install the CWM files it links to.
Also on HBOOT it says in pink locked but I am S-Off.

I've attached 2 files to this post. The first is a PG58IMG.zip for the latest non-touch version of CWM. The second is for the current version of 4EXT
To flash, put the file you want to use first rename it to PG58IMG.zip (not PG58IMG.zip.zip) and put it on the root of your SD card and boot into HBOOT. It will ask you if you want to update so just select yes and it'll flash the recovery. Once done, press power to reboot and voila - you now have CWM/4EXT!

Thanks again Eddy!

I see what my problem was now, your android-info.tx files contained modelid: PG5813001. The ones from the guide had modelid: PG5813000. Kept giving me a model ID error.

Get 4Ext Recovery. It's got an amazing amount of features AND it's touch.

Install 4ext recovery control. The application is free and there is on the market. With this application it is very easy to flash 4ext touch recovery.

Conflict?
I have CMW and just installed 4ext. will they have conflict?

4EXT over writes CWM, so no

There will be no problem.

4EXT all the way

You can't, stick with your own thread

Try 4EXT recovery. It's so easy to use.

The CWM app and 4ext apps will not conflict. But you only can flash one of them into your recovery.

Hi,
I also have a Sensation, HBOOT 1.27.0000, S-OFF but with the pink "LOCKED" statement.
I try to flash the 4EXT recovery you provided, but I get an error message Invalid CID.
Any idea about what I should do?
Many thanks!

Well, you can't. You have to root and get it S-OFF before the upgrade to ICS.

You can't, at least not yet. S-OFF by Revolutionary does NOT support HBOOT 1.27 yet, you just have to wait untill Revolutionary has been updated.
Edit: Just read that you were trying to do S-OFF with HTCdev instead of Revolutionary but i guess it wont work for the same reason.

You're probably going to have to take it back to 1.17.1111, which is the original Revolutionary firmware.
To do that, flash it from here, then proceed to follow this steps in this guide.

If the OP is S-ON that can't be done as the bootloader isn't unlocked. The official HTC method should work but Revolutionary won't

I heard it's possible to downgrade, get S-OFF, and then do an upgrade, right?

Flash the old 1.17 firmware from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767 , then use the revolutionary method to get S-OFF, and then flash the new firmware again?

I've the same poblem, but you can't flash any firmeware with this hboot.
For me, it doesn't work.

So, at the moment there isn't any change to downgrade the firmeware and get S-Off?
I'm pretty sure that I flashed ARHD, although having the ICS from HTC installed.

If you were still S-OFF (as an RUU/OTA doesn't change this) then you can do that. If you're S-ON, you're stuck

What about this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469296
the section "Revolutionary Method ( ICS , General discussion )" has some points to try I think? If not, would flashing an old RUU help?

Can't flash an old RUU either as the HBOOT is lower than 1.27 - you can only go up, not down

Ok thanks! But where is the solution for my problem?
Wait a revolutionaty metod?

i feel you, bertonegt. im also on a S-ON 1.27.0000 hboot. dont try anything for now, wont work, you risk to have more problems only.
i hate to break it to you like this, but there wont be any update to the Revolutionary method. Another group of people claim they are working on this and they do have a solution, so wait for them. Keep fingers crossed so a "maybe" will become "certainly". When? Never ask an ETA

would I be very wrong if I said that this is very promising?

Hello,

... INFO[ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.018s]
finished. total time: 0.018s
Then i used revolutionary tool and it made it S-OFF and showing Revolutionary on top now i want to root it and want to install CWM recovery on it but not able to unlock boot loader because it is not showing token please tell me what is wrong and what i have to done, its very important please..

You could try and instll 4Ext, and this should have been posten in General forum and not i Dev.

Why would you want to unlock your bootloader when you are S-Off? :S

Wrong section dude..
Sent from my powered HTC Sensation.
Press thanks if it helped

Look for the user-friendly firmware by Kohr-Ah.
Download the relevent one for the Android version you wish to install...
Remove phone battery
Put the PG58IMG.ZIP on your SD card (not in any folders)
Put SD card in phone, put battery back in
Hold vol down + power until bootloader screen comes up... Follow on-screen prompts
Flash a custom recovery (4ext preferred) using 4ext recovery updater or via ADB/Fastboot (put recovery.img in ADB folder, Start up CMD.exe ,CD to ADB folder eg cd c:/adb, then type fastboot flash recovery <nameofrecovery>.img
Tuts all over the place mate.
BTW This is the development section, the inappropriate location for a question like yours.

Hi, there's rooting method existing innis forum, sry icannot provide, don remember it. Jus search u could find. But a summary is so:
Download and install jopontubear from unlimited.io
Then the rest of the guide is there on their web site.
FIRSTLY READ N LEARN THE WIRE TRICK ON THE WEB SITE EXACTLY BEFORE STARTING, so thatcha could respond rapidly to ur phone.
I recommend u to make a backup of contents of ur sd card, or copy them to ur pc, i did none though.

You can't flash a boot img via adb shell or indeed the adb interface. To flash a boot.img you need to reboot into the bootloader (hboot), connect to pc and choose fastboot on the bootloader menu then type:

Don't plug your USB cable into a USB 3.0 port; plug it into a USB 2.0 port. Also, don't plug the cable to a USB hub, just plug it into a USB port on the computer itself.

You have locked bootloader... Thats the only reason I can come up with
When you go to bootloader.. If the top says "LOCKED"
You have locked bootloader
Flash a patched bootloader if you are soff (either revolutionary or juopunutbear)
For revolutionary hboot.. Check the end of first post of firmware thread by kohr-ah in sensation development section and download the "hboot from 1.29.0000 to 1.27.1100" file and flash it (just like fimware)

Problem with unlocking bootloader after S-Off Pyramid

Hi,
I have little problem... I unlocked bootloader by HTCdev, S-offed by JuopunutBear 0.5b (with wire-trick) and install unbranded firmware RUU 3.32.401.5. Now I'd like to flash CWM recovery, but I receieve an error "writing 'recovery'... failed (remote: not allowed)"... I also tried to flash it by KGS Utility v8 and this didn't work for me. Can I unlock bootloader again by bin file generated by HTCdev? Somewhere who wrote that it possible to brick the phone, but few people did it and nothing happened. What can I do? Any ideas?

actually why did you use a ruu.exe for flashing a custom recovery?
it was an unecessary step
nevermind
if you still are on S-OFF flash 3.33 iniversal from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
then you can install a custom recovery
another way is to install 4ext updater(link in my signature)
from the app download and install the latest version of 4ext recovery
edit: just to know when you are locked or relocked you are limited to some fastboot commands

I was flashed RUU because I wanted to delete Orange PL brand. Yep, I'm still on S-Off.
Can I flash by fastboot "PG58IMG 3.32 unlocked.zip" file (~14MB) to my firmware what I have now? It may unlock bootloader?

probably you can use it via fastboot command
but it would better to flash it directly from bootloader

I updated FW (PG58IMG.zip unlocked) via Bootloader, flashed CWM via fastboot tools and it works!
