ClockWork Mod wont install in Recovery

I've got a Sensation (I think its a Phillipenes issue) which was upgraded to ICS 4.0.3.
Basically I've managed to complete HTC Dev Unlock, then a few days later I lost Wi-Fi connection, so have been trying to continue with installing a Custom (or even the original) ROM in an attempt to fix it.
I've now done Junoptobear to get true S-OFF
Got root access
But cant get Clockwork Mod to install in Recovery...
I've installed ROMmanager Premium and used it to install the latest Clockwork Mod - it states its downloaded and completed but when I go to the bootloader and select Recovery it flashes the white HTC screen for a brief second then back to the bootloader.
I've tried to manually download the Clockwork Mod file and install to Recovery but I get the same issue.
Does anyone have any ideas?? Many thanks!

Hi there you can install 4ext recovery you can get the file here in xda or even from the play store. Many of us use 4ext because it has many options and is very easy to use.personally I prefer 4ext. All I did was download from the play store and opened the app follow directions choose version of recovery and it will flash from the application. I was already rooted and soff when I did it but it's very easy to do. I really think you will like 4 ext recovery. You already have s OFF and root so it should not be a problem. Best of luck to you. I hope this helps! As I mentioned most of us use 4 ext recovery and I doubt you will be disappointed. Good luck.

I may be wrong but this sorta sonuds like a problem abother member was having the other day. I think they may not have a eng Hboot installed. Question why not just let them flash the recovery using the PG58IMG.zip via bootloader?

You should be using stock recovery and not clockworkmod. So flash stock recovery and you need to lock your bootloader.
This tool has the option to flash recovery, at least that is what I used.

My Hasoon's All in one tool, has that option. Also you can search the web for that tool app. I tried to upload stock recovery, but looks like it exeeds the limit of 8 MB. Give me your email, I will send it to you.

Please consider putting this up on fileshare site ..
I also have the Hasoon tool and in newest version you can only flash stock recovery if you have it yourself, it is not included.
Have been looking for the stock recovery myself but failed to find it.

Fantastic.
I flashed this recovery using the tool and rebooted the phone.
Then i installed the OTA update (No need to relock bootloader)
Then i reinstalled CWM and SuperSU .
Now my phone is at 2.31 and rooted.
Sweet that i dont have to listen to the SMS tone over and over again just informing me that there is a firmware update available.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

I have the same issue right now. My only concern is when you locked the bootloader did you lose your data? It's my gf phone and when I unlocked the bootloader it wiped data from the phone and she got really mad

[ATTENTION] IF your on HBOOT 1.14 (firmware 2.20) first flash boot.img then flash ROM

Especially for people who rooted their phones recently using X-Factor root exploit
"If you have the newer HBOOT 1.14 (you probably do if coming from stock 2.20), boot.img's will have to be flashed separately via fastboot. Extract the boot.img from you ROM zip of choice and put it in the same directory as fastboot. Reboot your device into boot loader and run "'fastboot flash boot boot.img' (no quotes)
You can then flash the ROM" - thanks to

How to flash Custom Recovery and ROM after 2.20 root - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33179690
More information
"if you are flashing similar ROMs ( having same kernel ).. there is no need to flash boot.img separately. But say if you wanna switch from sense to aosp you must do that as they have different kernels.
Again if you are just upgrading from older version to newer version of same ROM and if there are no kernel changes no need to flash it" (thanks kancherlapraneeth)
I have seen so many topics in Q&A thread regarding this issue, thought this would help ppl

So what happens if you don't? I did the exploit and then installed Calkulin's ROM and it seems to be going fine without flashing the boot.img. Maybe this is why another ROM I tried didn't work (got stuck on the Paranoid Android screen).

Because it stays on the stock kernel. Paranoidandroid got stuck because it probably can't run on the stock kernel... calkulin's ROM is somewhat close to the stock ROM (4.0.4 and sense)

Can i please get some need some help
I'm currently on paranoid android 2.51 jb ROM. I did the root exploit since I was stuck on 2.20
And before I flashed paranoid android I made a twrp backup of stock sense.
Ok this is what I need help on because I was on 2.20 I had to flash the boot.img along with the custom ROM to get it working, now what I need to know is if I restore my twrp backup do I need to flash the boot.img so I can go back to stock? If so how can I get the boot.img from my backup that I made? I copied backup to my computer to look for the boot.img but there's nothing there
I wanted to post here before I make a new thread

TWRP restore does not boot
I used TWRP 2.3.1 to back up the rooted stock rom on my AT&T One X firmware 2.20. I then proceeded to flash Viper X 2.6.0 but the phone was stuck in boot loop even after I flashed the boot.img in the Viper zip file. I was able to get back into TWRP and run the restore. However, the phone continues to be in a boot loop even after the restore.
Did I miss any steps in the restore process for TWRP?

ViperX isn't for you phone. Your lucky you can get back into twrp. You need to flash your boot.img backup in fastboot.

For people trying to flash the style backup and can't find the boot.img you should be able to fastboot boot.emmc.win just as a normal boot.img.

I think I know what my problem was. I flashed the rom first THEN the boot.img. Which caused it to get stuck at the boot animation and I would have to go to the boot loader and flash the boo.img.

Ya same issue here too. My mistake was i flashed the boot.img after I flashed the rom. So now I'm rooting and flashing again and see if flashing boot.img the first time works.

I feel so stupid now. I kept doing fastboot boot boot.img. Not fastboot flash boot boot.img. No wonder it always stuck in the boot animation screen all the time. So I flash the boot img then i flash the rom from recovery? What do I wipe in TWRP?

This seems to be a bug with 2.4.x.x versions of TWRP. If you downgrade to an old version, it should be OK, from what I've read.

I installed 2.3.3.0 and the factory reset still failed..?
errors given were E:unable to mount '/sdcard'

did you factory reset from bootloader if so you have corrupted your sd card there is a fix let me find it
I did this and this is what Xsmagical and I did to fix it.
Take the stock android recovery from a ruu or stock Rom. (I used the one from 1.85 ruu but it doesn't matter.)
Fastboot flash the stock recovery to your phone and then reboot into bootloader where you originally wiped.
Factory reset from hboot and then Fastboot flash twrp again, mount sd should be available now. Mount sd, copy whatever Rom onto sd card and flash from there.

[Solved] [Q] X920d Android 4.2.2 version 1.19.707.2 update problems

Edit: For the solution, go to post #7
Looking for help here. I have a butterfly X920d.
I received an update for 1.19.707.1 yesterday and I updated it. The problem is I have TWRP installed.
So now when the main update package (1.19.707.2) is downloaded and reboots to continue installation, it always reboots into TWRP instead of installing it.
I have tried to flash 1.12.707.1 RUU but it always end up in error 43 (FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail), upon research tells me that it is incompatible with the 1.19.707.1 I have recently updated.
To perform the above action, I locked the bootloader, which introduce a new problem. When the 1.19.707.2 reboots to install, it is stuck at the HBoot/Fastboot screen. It remain there until I manually reboot it.
In a summary;
In 1.12.707.1, installed TWRP and rooted
Got an OTA update for 1.19.707.1, download and run it, while rooted
1.19.707.1 installed properly
Phone begins to download and install 1.19.707.2
Upon restart to complete, installation stuck in TWRP screen
Relocked phone and tries to flash 1.12.707.1 RUU to return to stock
Error 43 (FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail) in fastboot RUU flash
Restarted process 4, but now instead of booting to TWRP, it is stuck in Fastboot
I'm thinking, as the update process does not support TWRP recovery, it is stuck in 1.19.707.1
As I have locked the bootloader, TWRP is unable to start. Would unlocking it again via unlock.bin softbrick my phone?
Is there any help or guide to help me get out of this spiral of misery?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: is there anyway to flash just the stock recovery to replace twrp instead of the whole RUU?

Woah, took the dive, went in and emerged successfully.
Thanks to the advice from @Bassie39, I reflash my recovery from 1.19.707.1 (link) [Please read the instructions to get the correct files.]
I had to unlock my device before flashing the recovery due to relocking it earlier. Same old story, all of the data was wiped.
Summary of my steps.
Flash stock recovery.img, extracted from 1.19.707.1 RUU
Reboot phone
1.19.707.2 installed succesfully from OTA
2.33.707.3 updated as well upon reboot
Reflash TWRP 2.6
Root using busybox
SuperSU not working in 4.2.2 (probably leftovers from the previous root)
Downloaded SuperSU and flashed in recovery
Root and Titanium backup working finally
Those who are having the same issue, you need not relock your device. Just flash stock recovery, and the OTA is good to go.
After that, flash TWRP and root if you like.
