[RECOVERY] 05/09/2011 Clockwork-5.0.2.0-pyramid

15 APRIL 2012: ALL - PLEASE NOW REFER TO THIS THREAD HERE
Just found a new Clockwork-5.0.1.0 for our beloved Sensation(al) device
It works fine and didn't find any bug yet
The charging issue some of users had seems to be solved
In order for this to work, the HTC Sensation needs to be S-OFF.
How to Flash:
Flash via boatloader or push adb or fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or using Rom Manager
Download:
01/09/2011: 5.0.1.0:HERE
Update 05/09/2011: 5.0.2.0: HERE
If you want to flash via Bootloader just put the following file PG58IMG.zip in your SD card : HERE
changelog: fix the fact that some users were loosing root access with 5.0.1.0

already a heavy thread going for this, but it SHOULD be in the dev thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242522
EDIT* good notes too, there are too many plp who dont know how to do this with either method

Alternative method is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

check out the thread i posted, lots of testing notes
the most significant is the backups/restores are WAYYYY quicker
...and its blue!

Charging issue is still there. Doesn't charge when switched off or battery goes empty. Not Recommended for users who go out of battery very often..
To check if your phone is charging, turn off ur phone, remove and reinsert your battery(to make sure ur phone is fully switched off), then open adb and type::
adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status
if it returns charging, it's fine for u, otherwise Think again..
I got discharging, so reverted back to 4.0.1.4(Modded for charging when switched off)..
Here's link for 4.0.1.4 for those who want to revert back http://goo.gl/4VlGV

it actually does charge when turned off, but not when in hboot/fastboot/recovery
i completely drained my battery, and it charged, but i had to let it fill for a min or so before i could turn it back on with enough juice to get back into OS
not recommended if kill your battery often
EDIT* the link i poseted has a bit of testing already done, it was just put in the general thread, not the dev one

Wouldn't the easiest way to flash it would be through ROM Manager? That's what I did
sent from Christ All Mighty II

you'd be surprised how many people prefer the manual way (im one of them )
im not a fan or rom manager, you dont really *learn* when you use it, and doesnt work all the time

Did u try adb command when phone was turned off?
It gives me "Discharging', when just turned off and connected to PC.
I was f****d when i had just s-offed my Sensation, and went out of battery. So I'm too skeptical about all this

yup, discharging everytime now, looks like it only worked after that initial restart after a battery pull...
oh well, im still keeping it, the backup/restore is much quicker, and i use it a lot

Discharging for me with adb commandBut LED is red :/

No bro it charging normally even if your phone is turned off. I tried it already cause i have a spare full charged battery. The problem is when you are on recovery aka no charge. Anyway i still find silly to try flash a rom when you are on low battery at all.

thats what im sayin!
even though it says discharging on powered off, it does charge, but u just gotta wait a min or 2 so it has enough juice to power back on...
its not as bad as the < 4.0.1.4 problems, but either way its a better ver of CWM

LED doesn't exactly give proper info. When i was using 4.0.1.4(initial that doesnt charge when switched off that came with revolutionary), i charged phone for whole night and LED was red, but in morning, phone's battery was still empty.
LED is liar lol..

U r right.
But does that mean ADB is liar?? Dunno if i should trust adb or not..
I dont care whether it charges when i m on recovery, but i just want to be sure that my phone charges when i run out of battery.

its hit and miss for certain people, not sure what the variances are...it DOES recharge for me when powered off, and also for a few users

Ok, the first is how was he trying to root it? He definetely have messed his bootloader for using a froyo RUU in an GB shipped device. The phone will boot if you let it for about 1/2 hour. Don't try anything else before you solve that.
And next time you have to read and ask before doing something you don´t actually know how to.

Ok...I will register tonight. I can´t in the office...

OK I had this problem. Take the battery out and let the phone sit for about half an hour. Then plug the phone in to a wall charger ( not the computer ) press the volume down button and press the power button until you see the HTC logo. After that keep holding the down button until it enters HBOOT. Use the vloume keys to select the reboot option and boot the phone. It worked for me. Hope it helps.

Even if your phone runs out of battery, you won't have a brick, because when you turn the phone on when it has charge, it will stay on the "quietly brilliant" splash screen, so your phone is not destroyed. I'll edit in a link for the stock recovery on this post once I find it and upload it to dropbox.

Erm... If you have an alternative phone charger then try that. The new ones are designed to take the hit if something goes wrong, where they used to be designed so that the phone takes the hit, so there could have been a surge going through and your charger died. If not, then try a different power socket/USB port.

i'm waiting for your drophox link

When you connect your phone to a Windows computer via USB, does it try and install QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers? If so, you are in a messy situation. You'll need to read the unbrick thread in the dev section and unbrick your device.

can you give me more explication, because that's not work with me

connect your phone with the usb cable to your computer. Open device manager on your computer. Does it say QHSUSB_DLOAD anywhere?

The stock recovery is saved as STOCKS4.img. I'm assuming that you use the all in one kit, so copy it into data/resources/recoveries and then go onto the all in one, select custom recovery and choose the stock. Flash this, then boot into bootloader, click on recovery and that will do the magic for you. Then flash TWRP, flash the boot.img of the ROM you want to use through fastboot. Mine is as follows:
C:\Users\Kyle> cd C:\AndroidSDK\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools
C:\AndroidSDK\AndroidSDK\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then copy the ROM onto your SD card or push it through adb if you wish, then flash it through TWRP. You should have a working phone again.

Bricked?

Hi all
My Sensation has s-off, h-boot 1.29
Flashed JB 4.3 asop rom last night, booted, and all was well.
I turned off wifi and left phone without charging over night.
The battery had drained a lot overnight (down to about 30%) so i checked battery stats and saw wifi was on 100% of the time...even though I had switched it off...and the phone was very warm.
I rebooted and now it wont start. No Leds lighting. Swapped my battery and still wont boot.
Connected to PC and i see QHSUSB_DLOAD
Left charging with and without battery for a few hours but still the same.
Most guides appear to show this happens when trying to s-on or flashing but my phone was working until i restarted.
any ideas?

if your pc detects it as QHSUSB_DLOAD then try the unbricking project and see if it works
by the way can you access to the bootloader?

Is my phone dead now?

Hi,
I recently got my phone from service provider they changed the motherboard. I was trying to unlock the bootloader since I have new motherboard it was unsuccessful so I couldn't unlock it. I was in bootloader menu I choose fastboot to unlock it, after a unsuccessful try I decided to reboot. So I choose reboot option but phone stuck at that menu. Nothing happened for 2 minutes. I removed the battery and now I can't open my phone. What should I do now?
edit: after 10 minutes it suddenly decided to boot itself but it's constantly rebooting itself idk what I'm gonna do now.
edit 2: now it's stuck on beats audio logo...
edit 3: I removed the battery, did a factory reset. Now I can reach lockscreen but when I unlock it phone is not responding and it restarts itself.
edit 4: somehow I managed to boot my phone successfully. For test the phone I installed subway surfers I played like maybe 2 minutes and then it was frozen and it made a weird noise from speaker for 5-10 secs and phone restarted itself again. And the bottom of the phone is kind of overheated. Now I figured out that if I wait for 10 minutes and if phone was completely cold it can boot itself but if it's overheated it can't bootself. I really hate this phone.

of course you can use it without S-OFF
only your bootloader must be locked or relocked
