Hi, ive been trying to S-off and root my HTC sensation using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870233
ive managed to get up to step 2, but unable to flash a new recovery using instructions in this guide and also whilst trying kgs utility…. Im pulling my hair out tbh been at it for hours…
so basically, I unlocked my phone, then have got s-off..but now cant get new recovery to get rooting.
when I use the utility in theafore mentioned guide. It either cant find device or just hangs. When I use the kgs utility, it looks promising until I get the message the system cannot find the bacth label specified - dl_4ext_found
any ideas?
try this
boot your device into bootloader
connect your device into pc via usb(it should say fastboot usb)
now in your pc place the recovery.img in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
open a command window in that folder and do this command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

hmm ok,
do you have htc drivers installed?
also check if you are using 2.0 usb ports
enable also usb debugging mode
edit:i just inform you also that the recovery can be renamed as recovery.img
i mean when you perform the command do it like this
fastboot flash recovery <the name of recovery>

that's why you couldn't perform the command
if i remember well after S-OFF an unlocked bootloader goes again locked
but there was no need to unlock it again
you could use an eng hboot(juopunutbear) which is unlocked
nevermind
flash this zip from recovery now
http://download.chainfire.eu/310/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.04.zip
it will give you root
hi and thanks..
So i should capy this to my SD card, then what? sorry for the noob questions.

hmm, i think i must be doing this wrong guys. it thought I flashed the recoevery ok, but then when i hit powerdown on the recovery option, it goes to an HTC logo for a while, then i see my vodafone logo etc and then have a clean install of the orginal rom i guess.
Where am i going wrong?
Many thanks

@sagarda : You forgot a very important thing... He unlocked his phone using HTC dev site. That means the boot is still locked. So the kernel is still preserved from the old ROM, which is incompatible with the ROM he's flashed now, and this is never going to allow the phone to boot up with this new ROM.
So he has to flash boot.img separately from fastboot. I know you were only trying to help, but it's best to only give advice that you have actually tried yourself, otherwise you may end up bricking someone's phone trying to help him.
As for @igorICS, you need to extract boot.img from the ROM zip, and flash it separately using fastboot if you want to boot up this new ROM. And please learn to do some reading before taking the plunge, rather than later...
i pulled battery again and i enered recovery somehow, and recived message,
''can't mount ...''
and i just restored my backup
and i dont wanna **** around with this thing...

Just add a \ between Desktop and boot.img!
I try not to use desktop for cmd purposes...
Just to be 100% sure, follow the steps below:
1. Make a new folder in C:\ called boot
2. Now place the boot.img in the folder you created (C:\boot)
3. Now, using fastboot, type the following at the command prompt (for you, i see that it is C:\Android) ----- fastboot flash boot C:\boot\boot.img
4. Once you get a confirmation of a successful flash, type adb reboot
5. That's it. Enjoy your new ROM !
has anyone already tried to root there official ics Rom that was released yesterday? And how?

Once you've installed the RUU, use ADB to push 4ext recovery, then reboot into recovery and flash the Supervisor 3.1.3 file - once you then reboot into the full system again you will have root access and can install the 4ext updater from the Play Store and update recovery to the latest version.

For the people, like me, who have only done the HTCdev unlock ( S-ON ), it's quite easy to update the software/ROM using the RUU.
After downloading the RUU from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1857478 I just immediately ran it, but it failed with an error along the lines of : RUU, security fail! update fail!
So after a bit of googling around I figured that the RUU might simply not be happy with the phone being in an unlocked state, so after doing the following the RUU ran successfully :
1. Re-lock the bootloader with the "fasboot oem lock" command. The output after running the command shows the lock process was successful but moaned about something else failing, still not sure what that was. So after doing this my phone was kinda stuck in the bootloader, where it says ***relocked*** at the top and ***security warning!*** right underneath it. Everytime I reboot or powercycle it would just boot straight back into the bootloader with the warnings, which worried me a little bit.
2. In the bootloader I selected fastboot and connected the USB cable, and then I ran the RUU again. This time it completed successfully after some time. My HTC sync was installed but not running, so seems like that isn't even needed ?
And that's actually it. This process obviously puts the phone in a relocked state, and an overall factory configuration, it also restores the recovery ROM to the factory image or whatever.
No success
Hi,
I try to root my S-off /XTC Clip/ device, BUT:
1. 4ext pushed with adb - OK
2. I try to install recovery - 4ext wants busybux
3. I downloaded busybox - but it wants a rooted devices I got a message that "unrooted device" and busybox is closed
So I don't have recovery menu
What could be the solution ?

Read the instructions correctly. Install RUU. Put phone into FastBoot mode. Use ADB to push recovery to phone. Reboot into recovery. Flash superuser from zip. Reboot phone properly. Install BusyBox from Play Store.

Hello,
I do not know how but my phone get out from QHSUSB and now I can go to hboot.
The problem is there is no ROM when the phone boots. It's stuck on HTC logo.
I have unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV but it is not S-OFF. Hboot is 1.18.
When I go to fastboot I can write "fastboot flash.... recovery.img" and it goes OK, but after restars bootloader I tried to go to recover but the phone just stuck on that logo again.
I have tried CWM and 4EXT but it is the same problem.
Can I flash RUU without recovery and ROM?
Help, please!

Where did you find this three commands?

Can you boot your device into Bootloader by pressing Volume Down+Power Button. If yes put the PG58IMG.zip on SD Card and Boot into Bootloader, normaly the device will flash the P58IMG.zip if you start into Bootloader.

I think the there is some other problem. May be some partition is not accessible.

Okay, normaly the device should flash Firmware (P58IMG) when booting in bootloader. You sure that you put it directly to SD and not in a folder. PLS ask in the Unbrick thread, there are a lot of people that are more fit in developing as i am. I telled you what i´m knowing. Sorry that i couldnt help you to bring your device back to life but maybe there are people that can help. Give it a try pls.
You got the fastboot command wrong, its:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
In any case you cant flash a firmware with S-ON that why the unbrick thread says find an RUU exe and run it

Flashing an RUU is a must after unbrick.
The error you got wile flashing the RUU is because your bootloader is unlocked.
Relock your bootloader using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then, flash an RUU.
If you can paste the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
then I can provide you with a link to the appropriate RUU for you.
Please remove your IMEI & Serial Number from the output.

Yup. Just put the phone into fastboot & flash.
You need the one that is for your device. PG13001 is Sensation XE & PG13000 is Sensation.
You said your mid is PG58130 so I gave you both.
Choose the right one for your device.
================================================
You will also need to unlock your bootloader after flashing the RUU if you want to flash recovery.

Tried to flash custom recovery again. It was successfull but I can't get to it.
I think that partitions in nand /emmc/ are messed.
Some other ideas?
do
this
boot to recovery using this command
fastboot boot recovery.img
then if you booted up fine ..then flash a custom rom from it

ok
did you flashed RUU with HTC-DEV unlocked bootloader ?
if yes ..then relock the bootloader ..fastboot oem lock and flash the RUU again
Also what is your cid ?
if possible ..post the output of this command (except IMEI)
fastboot getvar all
here's what i did so far
factory reset on clockworkmod
phone will no longer boot
find out only solution is to flash stock ruu through fastboot
right ruu for my hboot and carrier not available
i have roger001 and hboot 1.13 bought from canada fido
i find out i can supercid to install ruu's from other countries
supercid procedure requires me to gain access to sd
i cannot access it (usb debugging not enabled im guessing, a i cant enable it because phone stuck in bootloop)
so now i cannot supercid
so i can not install any ruu without errors
i somehow broke clockworkmod cant get into it either
i need a way to install an ruu by just using the adp fastboot usb
help.... im kind of desperate
Seriously? Not even a single reply? Does that mean that there's absolutely nothing I can do? Give me SOME feedback please.
Can't you just fastboot flash a recovery, boot said recovery, mount usb storage in recovery and put a rom, and then flash that rom? Probably should clear data and system before flashing...

In your picture your bootloader is relocked. Did you re-unlock it?

wow, thank you so much, I forgot to re-unlock it...
now I have managed to get twrp installed, and I'm at the mounting stage, but my computer gives me the following message:
"You need to format this disk before you can use it. Do you want to format it?" and there is a "Format" or "Cancel" button I can press.
Should I click Format? I didn't want to act too hasty.
edit: ok i formatted it, now im in the process of finding a rom, any suggestions?
Trickdroid and energy are both great if you like sense roms.

Hello
a few days ago I used "HTC ONE S AIO KIT" to install Jelly bean 4.2.2 on my HTC ONE S
I successfully installed the jelly bean and everything was fine
during the process, I created a backup from my phone in the ClockworkMod
today, I booted to ClockworkMod recovery > backup and restore > restore > and selected the backup file I created
the phone restarted and got stuck on the HTC ONE logo
I did everything I could in the past 2 hours, searching everywhere
even tried this command "fastboot flash boot "C:\...\boot.img"" but nothing worked - after doing this, the ClockworkMod gave me an error that said "can't mount /sdcard"
appreciate any help
Ok , I just updated to latest version of clockwork and still can not fix "can't mount sdcard" error
I have been doing this for 6 hrs now
can someone please help me ?

install ruu original and unlok again is the most easiest for you

Well that is a pickle. Not having a RUU to fall back on.
Good news is you can still fastboot in bootloader.
So you can try different roms until one works. So at least you have a phone that works.
Push a rom to your phone

from the original twrp site
Ok. Are you flashing the boot. img from the extracted rom zip that you are installing. I never used the c:/ blah blah. I always put the boot.img file in the same folder as adb and fastboot then with the phone in fastboot usb type fastboot flash boot boot.img in the command prompt on the computer. It sounds like you might have a bad recovery. Have you tried to flash a new recovery?
