Hey Guys,
I am new to the forum, and pretty new to rooting. I am trying to root my T-Mobile HTC Sensation based off the instructions from the xda HTC Sensation forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I am able to get S-off, which seems to work through reboots, but when I try to move ClockWork recovery to the phones root file, go into HBoot, I get a quick errors on the PG58DIAG file. I've scoured the forums for solutions, renamed files, etc. and I keep hitting the same wall.
Listed below are screen shots, the names of the files, and the PG58DIAG file I keep trying to move over.
I have no clue what i am doing wrong, and instead of wasting more time, I figured I would ask you guys. I would like to get the right recovery in there, so I can move to perm-rooting. I would eventually like to remove bloatware, overclock the cpu, and install an ICS Rom, as I am sick of waiting for the ICS update.
Thanks,
Kevin
Ok, so no one knows? Can someone at least point me in the direction of finding a solution. I can't yet post in the Sensation Forums, so PLEASE HELP!

STEP 2. To INSTALL Recovery - v5.0.0.8
1. Download recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation HERE: or Multiupload
2. Copy the PG58IMG file into the Root folder of your SD card (The main Folder of your Memory Card)
3. Turn off your phone FUlly and reboot into the Bootloader/HBOOT screen (see post above on how to get to hboot screen)
4. Press Volume up to Accept when it asks" Do you want to start the update"
5. Press Power Off to Reboot back to android after installation is successful (normal screen with homescreen)
6. Delete PG58IMG from your memory card and you can now root using step 3 below or install a custom ROM using CWM (Customs Roms are already rooted)
7. OPTIONAL: Boot into recovery or Completely switch off (Fastboot disabled or remove and reinsert battery)
Follow STEP 4 SUPER CID sub steps 1-6 to get adb running
8. Enter the command "adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status" Phone will confirm it is "CHARGING"
Charging issues fixed with new clockwork recovery. writing is now BLUE not purple or orange
Step 3. To permanently root your Sensation - (This means you will NOT LOSE ROOT on rebooting)
1. Download the file su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip from here: DOWNLOAD
2. Copy su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip to your SD card root folder (main folder of your memory card)
3. Start clockworkmod recovery (instructions below. See To Start Clockwork recovery)
4. BACKUP YOUR ROM USING CWM BEFORE ATTEMPTING ROOT!
5. Navigate to "Backup & Restore" using the Volume Down button and press select (power button to select) then select "Backup"
6. Select "install zip from sdcard" after backing up
7. Then select "Choose zip from sdcard"
8. Then select "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip"
9. Then select "Yes - install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" to confirm
10. Then go back
11. Then reboot.
12. You're rooted!

Did you follow exactly these steps????
The .ZIP
The .zip file you submited is twice times compressed, Could be?
You shoud not have any problems with the tutorial, try to search another verision of the file.
This is a guide for noobs by a noob to get from a stock gingerbread T-mobile (USA) Sensation 4g to a *rooted* version of the recent T-mobile ICS update (with working wifi calling etc.).
With root you can install your own tethering apps and lots of other things. By following the steps you also get to install other custom ROMS.
I did a lot of (overwhelming) reading and some question asking (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658100 , Thanks to GROGG88 ) to get to this point.
This update has been done to Qty.3 sensation 4g phones, using 2 different windows 7 pro 64bit PC’s so it looks pretty repeatable so far.
So here we go….

Yes for settings and all stock app. All apps added by myself are not translated
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
brief assessment of the costum rom "pemergency" mod = which must be paid
- Setup / flash -> OK
- IMEI must be corrected manually by terminal as tool does not work
- Constant error message "simcard failed" (slot2) although only 1 slot has
- "apex launcher" can not uninstall, then stops at the boot process lenovo screen -> I would also like to use but "default / original" surface.
- Spoke only Russian / English / chinese integrated as standart
- Morelocale2 indeed is an alternative but not "original"
ok, first feedback - hope the rom is modified?

a) no comment
b) IMEI must be corrected and it is mentioned in a manual, it doesnt need to be done by terminal, you can simple generate a file and swap with a root explorer
c) This Rom is for A2107a-h which is a 2 slots device, so I dont see a problem on this point
d) I said as this is modiffication, I decide to remove a stock launcher, you can install any other one of your choice
e) I also answered to your question as for german language only original apps are translated and the main system, on other threeead is clearlly said as this rom using more locale 2 for translation.
f) and as a last one, why you expecting anything original in a modiffied ROM?
I stoping to doing anything with this ROM for a simple reason:
- FREE ROM = 900 downloads,
- PAID ROM FOR £5 = 5 downloads - embarrassing
Why?
and one more thing...
My correspondence with mrbonsen, when I tried to help him out with the installation process is also interesting. About 10 emails with instructions to mrbonsen and also 10 emails of insults from mrbonsen. That means something....
So conclusion is simply... go back to your original firmware and I will give you your £5 back
and also 10 emails of insults from mrbonsen.

You did a great job and 900 downloads are impressive. i have a A2107A-H 1GHz 1GB RAM 16GB Flash - how come nobody is providing feedback or helping out in this development? Could there be a way to update.zip just the standard factory ROM? maybe that could be possible by doing a diff on the chinese and european source code? sorry i'm just a lamer looking to help out. any news from lenovo developers on the 4.1 release?
today is your cwm rom accessible for download for trial?
Ofcourse it is possible to get back the standard ROM just ask someone who still have a European ROM to do a copy by nandroid backup and you can restore this by centeCWM. So after that you will have a stock ROM with CWM but without calling feature.
I nearly finish another ROM with calling feature but this will be based on Russian ROM. I just need to get European system backup to do it same thing with European ROM.

http://www.android-hilfe.de/lenovo-ideapad-a2-forum/341347-a2107a-root-cwm-custom-rom-5.html
Dear NS forum - my colleague has crespo work phone.Last year I rooted and installed custom ROM for all my co-workers. The Nexus S user came to me with a problem; lately has many force closures and is very slow. I booted it into recovery & got the Android on its back with red triangle --> this is Stock recovery, right?
Not sure how CWM disappeared and got replaced by stock recovery.. but that seems the case. Am I correct that -
1. I need to load my PC with Samsung USB drivers to communicate with phone while in fastboot/download mode?
2. I need to install ADB SDK on my pc too?
3. I need to enter fastboot/download mode and flash a custom recovery?
Kindly help confirm the steps required, am I missing a vital step? Which recovery is best suited ... I have no preference over TWRP / CWM.
Lastly, I am very much out of touch with latest ROMs, appreciate any advice on a simple ROM, maybe 4.2 is best...
appreciate any help, I used to know all this stuff but I moved to Note 2 a year ago. Cheers.
Hey, I just read about Wug toolkit, is this a suitable tool for my issue ?....seems I could use it to flash a recovery for this phone which magically reverted to stock recovery .
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
Hey folks, here I look forward to guide the Google Nexus S users of the XDA Community to go custom with their Samsung Nexus S. I shall try to put forth the most prevailing steps to make my way to your minds. Also I will use the fastboot method to accomplish custom during this entire guide. Before we put our hands on the device and begin with the instructions, I would like to state some general terms, for your ease. :good:
Terms & Understanding
* What is Bootloader and Why do we need to Unlock?
A bootloader is a boot initializing component which is generally locked by the device manufacturer to avoid any messing around with the OS. We need to unlock it for the same reason. Once unlocked it will allow us to change the boot sequence and modify the OS in accordance of our needs.
* What is Rooting?
It is a process of gaining root privileges over an Android subsystem. Rooting an Android device is easy in most cases. If you will to Install custom ROMs, kernels, other patches or addons to your Android device, rooting is what you will need. It can be achieved in two ways; either by manual method (using fastboot) or by automatic method (using toolkit or software) . Here, I am going to follow the manual method by using fastboot commands.
* ClockworkMod, what is it?
In short, CWM; It is a secondary recovery system created by Koush (Koushik Dutta), which adds enormous features like wiping partitions, flashing flash able .zip files like ROMs, kernels, patches etc to the stock AOSP recovery. Visit ClockworkMod website for more.
* What does Custom ROM means?
These are the aftermarket Android firmware which are not official supported by the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). They are made available to the Android public by Android developers and contributors all around the world. Custom ROMs are either built from Google’s source code i.e AOSP (Android Open Source Project) or are modified versions of the device manufacturer’s ROM (Stock ROMs or Factory ROMs) with additional tweaks and extend functions which are not delivered with the Stock ROMs. Some of the popular Custom ROMs include CyanogenMod (CM), Android Open Kang Project (AOKP), MIUI, Codename Android (CNA), Oxygen, ParanoidAndroid and many more.
* What is Custom Kernel?
A Kernel is a bridge between the applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level, In simple words, it is the communication between the hardware and software of an Operating System. In Android world, Custom Kernels play a vital role since they provide the users with several features including changing CPU frequencies, modifying the boot sequence and boot scripts and other features too.
* What are Google Apps (Gapps)? The name speaks for itself. Gapps are Google apps for Android available in flash-able zip format. Most of these applications can now be found and updated via the Google Play Store.Some of the apps include the Google Play Store itself, Google Talk, Google Sync (for adding and synchronizing Google accounts), Google Backup Transport, Car Home, Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google Search, Google Voice Search, Google Music, and Google Docs. In some Custom ROMs, the Google Apps are included. These are usually stock ROMs, smaller or less-common ROMs, or those from areas where intellectual property laws are less commonly obeyed. But many AOSP ROMs, most famously CyanogenMod and AOKP, do not include the Google Apps due to licensing issues. They are after all proprietary code owned by Google and not included in the Android Open Source Project.
Disclaimer
Early necessary requirements
* At least 60% of battery to ensure no random shutdowns due to low battery.
* Backup your storage manually. Also your text messages and contacts using some backup app.
* Install Google and Samsung USB drivers from here
* A compatible USB data cable for undisturbed connection between PC and device.
* Enable USB Debugging in your device’s settings [Settings > Developer Settings > USB Debugging].
* A PC with Windows OS.

* Extract the downloaded NexusS_files.zip to the desktop. So now you will have a folder named "NSFiles" on your desktop which beholds all the needed files during the process.
Please make sure to follow every single instruction mentioned during the guidelines. This will resist you from any mishaps during the process. Lets begin!
Unlock Bootloader
NOTE: Unlocking the bootloader will erase all the data on the phone as well as SD storage. So be sure to back everything up.
1. Reboot your Nexus S into bootloader mode by pressing volume up + power buttons simultaneously until you see the bootloader screen.
2. Connect your device to the PC via the USB data cable.
3. Open the extracted folder "NSFiles" that we have have on the desktop. On an empty space inside the folder, press shift and right click and then select "Open command prompt here". This will execute a new CMD window which is already cd'ed to the folder's location.
4. Type in CMD:

8. Do not exit the bootloader mode, since this is the way to boot into recovery.
9. Now to boot into your new custom recovery, highlight "RECOVERY" and select it using the power button.
Rooting the Nexus S
If you plan to use the stock (factory) ROM, it is preferable to root. Otherwise, all the Custom ROMs out there already have root access.
The mentioned process is recommended to carry out using ClockworkMod Recovery.
1. Download the latest SuperSU flash-able root package. [Chainfire's SuperSU Thread]
2. Power off your device and boot into the bootloader mode by pressing volume up + power buttons simultaneously until you see the bootloader screen. Highlight"RECOVERY" using the volume buttons and select it using the power button.

4. Go to "mounts and storage" > scroll to the very last and select "mount USB storage".
5. This will mount your device's storage to the PC.
6. Drag the downloaded "CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip" to the root of your storage.
7. Select "unmount" to exit the USB storage mode.
8. Go to "install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard" > select the "CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip" you placed in the storage and flash it.
9. Once flashed, select "reboot system now"
.
You now have your device rooted. You can officially declare yourself as the true master of your device.
Install Custom ROMs
Installing a ROM is quiet a simple process, you can say that it is the easiest of all.
1. First, you need to choose a suitable ROM that meets your requirements.
2. Once you have chosen, download the ROM's .zip (flash able zip file) as provided by the Author/ Developer .
3. Also make sure to download specific Gapps and other add-on if provided by the developer himself. [If not, download generic Gapps from here]
4. Put the downloaded files to your SD storage either by using USB mass storage directly or by mounting USB storage in recovery mode.
5. Reboot your Nexus S into Recovery mode. Power off your device and boot into the bootloader mode by pressing volume up + power buttons simultaneously until you see the bootloader screen. Highlight"RECOVERY" using the volume buttons and select it using the power button.
* Using CWM:
wipe data/factory reset.
Go to "mounts and storage" > "format /system".
Go to "install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard" > select your ROM .zip file that you placed in step #6. Flash it.
Gapps are the next to be flashed just after flashing the ROM. So, flash Gapps following the same way as the ROM. further if your are provided any add-on in a flash able zip format you can flash it the same way after flashing the ROM and Gapps successfully.
Once everything has flashed successfully, select "reboot system now".
* Using TWRP:
Go to "Wipe" > "System" and "Factory Reset".
Go to "Install" > choose the ROM .zip file and flash it.
Gapps are the next to be flashed just after flashing the ROM. So, flash Gapps following the same way as the ROM. further if your are provided any add-on in a flash able zip format you can flash it the same way after flashing the ROM and Gapps successfully.
When flashed, go to "Reboot" > "System".
Your phone will now boot into the custom ROM.
Install Custom Kernels
1. Download the flashable zip package of your desired Custom Kernel.
2. Connect your device to PC via USB cable in USB Storage Mode.
3. Drag the downloaded kernel zip package to the root of your device's storage.
4. Disconnect the device from PC.
5. Power off, now press the volume up button and the power button altogether until you see the bootloader screen. Use the volume keys to highlight "Recovery" and select it using the power button.
6. Your device shall now be in recovery mode.
* Flash using CWM:
"advanced" > "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
"install zip from sdcard" > choose zip from sdcard" > now browse and select the kernel zip package that you placed in your storage root during step #3.
Select "Yes".
Your Kernel will now flash to your OS and replace your current kernel.
When it has successfully flashed, select "reboot system now".
* Flash using TWRP:
"Wipe" > "Dalvik Cache"
"Install" > now browse and select the kernel zip package that you placed in your storage root during step #3.
Your Kernel will now flash to your OS and replace your current kernel.
When it has successfully flashed, go to "Reboot" and select "System".
You now have Custom Kernel installed on your Nexus S.
NOTE: Before choosing any Custom Kernel, do verify that the Kernel is meant to be flashed on your present Android OS version.
Congratulations! You shall now enjoy the full packed potential of your wonderful Nexus S.

Welcome to my guide on how to install XPOSED on the Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-1337M) this guide is strictly for the SGH-1337M the reason I made this was because I spent a lot of hours trying to put parts of threads together since no one had specifically made a guide that was simple and noob friendly for installing XPOSED. Another reason is some people feel uncomfortable following guides made for the SGH-1337 mainly because it is different from the SGH-1337M.
