[Q] Newbie needing help rooting my Sensation! - HTC Sensation

Hi there,
I'm new to all things development. I have an HTC Sensation on Virgin mobile in Canada. I am trying desperately to root my phone and I have followed this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1632553). I've done lots of searching on this forum and google and can't find anyone with my specific problem.
I have put the SupperSU.zip file into my SD root, unlocked my bootloader through the HTC dev website and flashed CWM using the One X program. However, when I try to boot into recovery it stalls on the white HTC loading screen. I have tried to boot into recovery using One X, a command control from my android folder on my computer and using the power button and down volume button but it always stalls. Since I cant boot into recovery I cant use CWM flash the SuperSU.zip, which I understand finishes the rooting process.
Also: I am pretty sure my drivers are up to date but when I tried to install the drivers from One X it always interrupts the installer saying the Device is in Use...andnI dont know if that means my phone (which its not) or my computer. I uninstalled my antivirus because I read that might be blocking it... but still no luck!
I would really appreciate any help or guidance you can offer! I am a complete newbie when it comes to this and I have done my best to search out answers and tutorials before coming here for help.

reflash the recovery.img using the fastboot command(rename it as recovery.img)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then do
fastboot reboot bootloader
after that try to enter to recovery
note:i assume you know how to use fastboot commands
if you still can't enter to recovery then try this
place the recovery.img in the folder where you have adb and fastboot files
boot the device to bootloader and connect it to pc via usb(in the hboot screen must say fastboot usb)
open in the folder a cmd window and do
fastboot reboot recovery.img

Thanks for your advice! I just want to double check what you mean before I try anything.. Do you mean that I should rename the fastboot file to 'recovery.img' and then use the fastboot commands (by holding shift and right click on my android folder to open command folder)? I am really quite new an d I think I know how to use fastboot commands but I'm not positive. I'm not sure where to find the recovery.img file!
I'm a complete beginner and I'm really trying to understand this Thanks for being patient and helping!

exactly as you said
about recovery.img use the one from the guide you used to root the device(CMW 5.8.0.9 )
or check 4ext recovery from this guide

So when I renamed my CMW recovery file as recovery.img and put it in my android folder, booted my phone into fastboot usb mode and connected it to my pc. I opened a command window from the android folder with the recovery.img file in it and typed fastboot reboot recovery.img all I got was this:

commands:

flashall flash boot + recovery + system

boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel

What should I do now? Thank you again!!

I also tried to open a command window there and reflash the recovery.img by typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ...except it said "error: "cannot load recovery.img" except the file is definitely in that folder and named recovery.img

That worked!! I realized I had renamed the recovery file 'recovery.img' instead of just 'recovery)" (the second .img was redundant) which is why it wouldnt find the file. Anyway, it's rooted now!
You are the best! Thanks so much for helping a newbie out

congratulations mate
but i suggest you to have 4ext recovery instead of cwm because of the smartflash feature(for S-ON devices only)
as i understand you are on S-ON

need help flashing recovery

I went ahead and did the oem unlock but when I try and flash the recovery (or boot) image through fastboot using this:
C:\androidsdk\tools\fastboot flash recovery XXXXXXX.img
or
C:\androidsdk\tools\fastboot flash boot rootboot.img
I keep getting this error:
error: cannot load 'XXXXXXX.img'
I've trouble shooted all of the main things. ...my device is definitely attached. I have the recovery .img file in the same folder as fastboot (along with the 2 needed .dll files). I've also done stuff like re-install usb drivers, re-install sdk, I've oem unlocked 3 times.
I have a stock wifi xoom with 3.2
Here are the 2 main root guides I've been using

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242241&highlight=how+to+root
Thank you for your help
in cmd(assuming windows) type cd c:/•••••tools
your xoom should be in adb reboot bootloader
type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
rename recovery file as recovery.img and place in tools/platformtools as the case may be.
sending this message from stock xoom.
awesome, thanks. What you told me was enough to show me what I was doing wrong.
In case someone else reads this later on I had to type
cd C:\androidsdk\tools ...hit enter
then it looked like this
C:\androidsdk\tools> ...and I then typed
fastboot flash recovery XXXX.img
earlier I also renamed the folder to androidSDK from android-sdk

So I assumed that your device is unlocked? I recommend to flash twrp, more easier and works wellstart with section 2).

I don't think you did it correctly, first boot you should see the 4 icons and you need to hit the volume down button on your device (within 10sec) to select USB icon then hit the volume up button to select this setting, now proceed with the instruction on your pc to flash. Make sure you copy the recovery twrp file named" openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-tf700t.blob" from here http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/tf700t to the "install Recovery" folder and RENAME this file to recovery.blob

Sounds like your pc is not communicate correctly with your device. When your device is on and you execute Scott's bat file, is your device reboot into recovery so that you can select fastboot mode? Basically, Scott bat file is using adb command to reboot your device into recovery mode, you manually select and enable fast boot mode on your device, then the script is using fastboot command to push the recovery.blob (located in the same directory as Scott bat file) to your device.

And you did select the USB icon and the text displayed "fastboot" on your device? You also have the twrp renamed to recovery.blob in the same folder as the script? Let manually push this file using fastboot.exe and see what's happens.

don't trust the log from fastboot or any script. Just make sure the recovery.blog is in the same directory of the fastboot command and you must execute fastboot.exe from command prompt.
1. manually boot to fastboot mode from your device. (boot to recovery then select USB icon)
2. Open command prompt and run as admin and navigate to fastboot.exe directory (with recovery.blog in this directory also)
3. type;
fastboot.exe -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.blob
4. Once done, type
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
Let me know the status.

Also I would also like to point out it does not let me reboot after I write the files (using holding shift key and opening command prompt) as it freezes I think??? BEcause I can reboot from fastboot before I input writing flash recovery but after it wont allow don't know why?

Did you even notice that you didn't change to drive C: before calling fastboot? Is your recovery.blob in C:\Fastboot or in "H:\Users\Install user"?

Then type dir then hit enter, make sure your fastboot.exe and recovery.blob are there

Nope, no Odin, but if your device is rooted, you could download goomanager from the market and install twrp using goomanager app.

[Q] Flashable zip to install CWM Recovery?

I have TWRP recovery installed right now but I want to switch back to cwm as I'm more familiar with it. My laptop's usb ports died so I can't use adb to install it. Is there a zip I can install in my current recovery?
No but you can do it from terminal emulator from the play store if you don't have one installed..
The command is in the CWM first post - TWRP can be flashed this way too.
All I see is a command for fastboot. Do I need to download the sdk or fastboot directly to my tablet? I would think I could just copy it over to the recovery partition instead since I'm already in the tablet. I thought fastboot was just used to gain access via a pc?

Need help to root into moto g3

Hi Team,
I was able to unlock the bootloader on motg3 and do a twrp img. However when I ran the command
adb reboot recovery it doesn't boot into the recovery img and it just says no command on the phone screen. Please help.
Thanks,
Arun
'No Command' means you've still got the stock recovery. Flash TWRP again by:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
(Where twrp.img is the filename of the custom recovery).
Do *not* reboot the phone into system, instead scroll down to select 'recovery' and press power button to load TWRP.
TWRP should load now, swipe to confirm modification (important). Now go to reboot>recovery. Allow the phone to reboot back to TWRP. Now you can select reboot>system and TWRP shall stick permanently.
Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
Volume buttons aren't working on the mobile. So I tried adb reboot recovery. But still it didn't boot into recovery. Here is what I had tried.
https://pasteboard.co/HhTTVr1n.png
TWRP will be overwritten by stock recovery if the system is booted up before booting TWRP once.
If the volume buttons are broken, then I'd suggest you first copy twrp.img into phone memory, boot the recovery by :
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Allow modifications, then go to Install>Select Image (img), browse twrp.img on phone>select 'recovery' and swipe to flash.
Now reboot>recovery and then reboot>system. Now it should stick.
I'd recommend being extra careful if your volume button, especially volume down button is broken. If you somehow end up with a non-booting phone, you'd have no way (that I know of) to get to the bootloader mode.
Broadcasted from Zeta Reticuli
I tried fastboot boot recovery.img but it says waiting for device and nothing happens.
https://pasteboard.co/HhVmOD9.png
Make sure your phone is in the bootloader mode and is being recognized by the pc. Run:
Code:
fastboot devices
and make sure it returns with 1 entry of the device along with the text 'fastboot'. Then the command should work.

Make sure you have installed proper Motorola drivers & Fastboot on you're PC / laptop,
You can get those files from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/guide-fastboot-flashing-factory-t3187750
After installing proper drivers goto this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/orig-development/twrp-twrp-moto-g-2015-t3170537 download & flash latest twrp by given instructions by OP..
I just checked the usb drivers page but there aren't any usb drivers for Linux.
https://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/solution/MS88481
I tried the command sudo fastboot boot recovery.img and it returned there is no such file or directory. Should recovery file be on phone or on the laptop. Also should all these commands be run from a specific folder either on phone or system?
[email protected] ~ $ sudo fastboot boot recovery.img

Yes, the terminal should be open to the directory containing the recovery.img file. For simplicity, place twrp into your home folder. The default location for most terminals is home, so no worries about directory now.
Just to be sure, type in :
Code:
ls
(LS lowercase)
Your file should be in the list. You are ready to flash now.
Try the fastboot boot command again.
As you're using GNU/Linux (guessed it early from your screenshots), drivers should not be a problem, at least for this device; unless you are running a minimal or highly customised distro like Gentoo or Arch.
Note: And yes, you'll need another copy of TWRP inside phone storage to actually flash into the device, the PC one is just used to boot temporarily into TWRP.

I apologize for confusing you. They are the one and same. Just rename the downloaded TWRP img file to twrp.img and copy it over to both home folder in pc and into phone.
Use fastboot boot command on pc to temporarily boot up twrp in phone, allow modifications by swiping, go to Install>Install Image (img) option on the bottom>select the twrp.img inside the phone and flash it to 'recovery' partition.
Now reboot>recovery. This time the twrp should be permanently flashed and working properly. You are done.

There can be only one either recovery.img file or twrp.img.....as you are trying to replace your stock recovery by TWRP... And you need .img file for this.... Just check the name there should be just one if you have TWRP.img then there is no need for recovery.img file
Hi All,
After I was able to flash twrp and root into the phone I switched off the phone and turned on after couple of days. But now the display isn't turning on. However adb is able to detect the device and also I was able to access the file system through usb. Could you please help me troubleshoot the display issue?

Try rebooting into the recovery mode by:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
And doing a Cache/ART cleanup.
If the phone boots up (it should vibrate) but the screen doesn't light up (not even a blank dark grey screen), then I'm afraid the display is at fault.

Yeah - I understand. I'm more confused about why Nokia doesn't provide stock images and how people are finding them. Does nokia provide these images to retailers or something?

I tried, does not work with TA-1054
Does this work with ta1045
Edit - Yes. I didn't try with the OST tool but did it with fastboot and it worked for my 1045
Make sure your device is unlock before you install the August update. Nokia blocked the ability to unlock with the August update.
Aslo, after you install the Global Firmware, do a factory reset from the recovery menu. After it boots into system, reboot to download mode and boot a patched boot file that was created by Maher, that allows you to install Magisk and have root without flashing TWRP. Flashing TWRP, will cause you not to be able to install future OTAs.
The patched boot it's only to boot it temporarily then install magisk direct to your boot:

Here are the commads:
fastboot boot patched_boot_Nokia6.1_Aug.img
then from magisk manager apk install/install direct after the processes done reboot
If you have issue running OST
Edit the PL2-222E-0-00WW-B02.mlf inside the extracted global firmware and modify these values as shown below lines 7-8 and save:
Code:
INITOPTION = 0x20000
INITDLTYPE = 0x60
SECURITY_VER = 0x0001

How did you flash it with fastboot?

Use the "extracted" image (should have a bunch of .elf, .img, and .mbn files). Then you need to execute a bunch of fastboot commands for each partition.
You'll have to adjust the commands somewhat to work with the image that your flashing but you can get an idea of what needs to be done from this script:
PHP:
@echo off
cls
cd /d %~dp0
fastboot oem alive
fastboot flash xbl_a B2N-0-132E-xbl_service.elf
fastboot flash xbl_b B2N-0-132E-xbl_service.elf
