[Q] Recommended recovery? - HTC Sensation

I've been running TWRP 2.6.0.0 but it doesn't seem to be working with some of the newer roms. It seems difficult to update TWRP these days. GooManager throws an HTTP error at start up and when trying to update the recovery it claims it can find one for my device. The fastboot usb method doesn't work well in 8.1. Would you recommend moving to another recovery?

I have a sensation XE, i would highly recomend the 4EXT recovery as well. However i think the only issue i have ever come across it was when i selected "auto reboot" when using a kernal update with the aroma installer. As long as i leave it unticked, i can perform updates without any boot issues on startup.

[Q] How to install 4EXT Recovery

I currently have Endymion V3.3 rom installed. I went through the revolutionary process to get root. I currently have the revolutionary cwm recovery installed. I tried installing 4EXT updater but when I went to recovery I still got revolutionary cwm recovery. Also I did a backup with this recovery, would I be able to use it when I install 4EXT. Thanks

All you need to do is to
1. Download and install 4EXT Recovery Updater, and launch it.
2. It will ask for root access, which you must grant.
3. After granting it root access you can use it to download and flash 4EXT Recovery. You must have an internet connection for this.
4. The recovery updater app will now download 4EXT Recovery and flash it on your device, replacing the older CWM Recovery you have currently, it's that simple.
No complicated steps... just like running an app.
As for using backups made with 4EXT, yes you will be able to use them. 4EXT is 100% backward compatible with CWM Recovery. Even the location of your backups remains unchanged (in the folder sdcard/clockworkmod/backups)
Go ahead, try the steps i outlined above. Then let us know if you hit any problem (very unlikely though!)

Hey, i have a bit of trouble...
Just followed your guide to install 4ext recovery but the **** wont work...
I have downloaded the updater apk and installed it, i granted superuser access, then i pressed (in the application) "Online install | upgrade" then chose the latest recovery package and pressed install.
After that has been done it says: "Successfully flashed new recovery. Recovery.img was saved to sdcard/..." but later when i reboot to mine recovery i still have the freakin CWM 2.5.0.3 or something installed... WHAT am i doing wrong..?

See the above posts.... this method works flawlessly. But if for some reason you're unable to update from CWM, just download the attached file, boot into CWM recovery, and flash this zip from within recovery.
Alternately, you can also download the attached Android Flasher and flash the recovery (extract the recovery.img from the zip file) using it. It's a fast and simple method to do it.
I'm feeling extra helpful today, so i'll type out another method... Use fastboot (i assume you know how to set it up, otherwise look at my signature for link) to flash the recovery using the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
DOWNLOADS:
Android Flasher
4EXTRecovery_v2.2.7_RC5_Flashable.zip
The recovery attached is not the touch version, its the most stable non-touch version. Once you are on it, you can later use the Recovery Control app to upgrade to the touch version.
Hope this will solve your problem.
If your phone has the latest HBOOT and unlocked with htcdev.com then you must use the fastboot flash method as exlained above.
But for Revolutionary the regular app method should work just fine.

acutally i dont know if i have made a mistake now or if t doesnt matter...
i sit on a HTC Desire GSM and not a HTC Desire S... does it matter???
and i have tried the option when you are booting into the CWM recovery 2.7.0.5 and try to flash the zip file from there but nothing works... it just says when im opening the 4ext updater apk that "Im up to date"...
i have rom manager installed and 4ext recovery updater, maybe there is some complications with them both installed???
really need to get the 4ext recovery... since i dont like the CWM and since i need the 4ext to install sebastiaaans rom....
and one more thing: you said that i lately can upgrade to the touch version, am i able to do this with my phone? PVT-1 Ship S-ON BRAVO

so why do you post it right here? I think in desire forums your chance too get a satisfying answer it's really higher. Btw I don't think that there is a really big difference, but who could tell you better than a desire (without s) owner?

Word of friendly advice : You shouldn't go around asking for help in forums for other devices as you may end up flashing something that could bugger up your phone... There is a HUGE difference between the Desire S and the Desire. Don't go by the similarity in their names... We're a very helpful bunch over here at the DS forums, but i would kindly request you to take this query to your own community which i'm sure will help you sort it out. (Or grab a Desire S and start roaming these lands!! ) - just kidding.
Better still, why not PM madmaxx82 and ask the creator himself regarding 4EXT issues.

Make sure you are not plugged into your pc when you boot to recovery! - if that doesn't solve it ..
Does the phone boot to the existing Rom, do you have Rom manager installed? - if so update the recovery from Rom Manager. I found that after rooting the One S using the toolkit I could not get in to recovery, the update from Rom Manager sorted it!
All the best :good:

i tried before to get in to recovery mode without USB(plugged to my computer or to charger) and still same problem.
and i dont have any rom manager.
i got HTC one S only with Unlocked phone and recovery(that doesnt work), so i think i need root for rom manager.
got something else?

Had same issue with the tool kit, the cwm didnt stick. The Touch work one did stick and I was able to get into recovery. However I downloaded the app ROM MANAGER and flashed the recovery from there. Since then I've had no issues booting into reocvery or bootloader. Just download rom manager and go about it that way!

Which recoveries have you tried, and what version of phone do you have (S3 or S4). These must match.
Make sure you bootloader unlocked OK, check in bootloader screen, should say Unlocked.
The problem youre describing sound like when you try to boot after successfully flashing a ROM but forgot to or the kernel failed to flash with it. Only happens when ROM and kernel are mismatched enough that it wont boot, fex flashing CM9 and still on HTC original kernel. Try flashing the kernel from the ROM zip file with
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You can also try booting a recovery without installing it,
Code:
fastboot boot nameofrecoveryfile.img

If you have working ADB and fastboot working (there is a sticky by user fibsib that explains this) you can make sure your phone isnt really just trying to boot the OS and failing rather than trying to enter recovery with the command
Code:
adb reboot recovery
But anyways figure out which version you have before doing anything more, flash the wrong stuff and you could break stuff. There are good info here as to how to see if you have the Ville=Z520e=S4 processor model or the Ville C2/Z560e/S3 processor model.
Then download a recovery for your phone model and install it with this command from your computer
Code:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryyoudownloaded.img
Should work.
have you actually flashed a recovery yet?
which one and how did you do it?
Make sure you have your phone updated to the latest software version before you root. Download system update OTA and click update.
Otherwise you will have issues.
I am rooted T-Mobile phone with original software 1.54 and still can not do recovery or update, it is probably me but it is difficult.
If you are in the US, make sure you use the US version in the development section after you upgrade your phone. Update then try to root it might be easier.

Changing recoverys

I'm using TWRP recovery right now I just wanted to know how I can install CMW over TWRP
why would you do that? cmw is known for having issues on this device
however, to answer your question, the easy way is thru rom manager

Yeah I think that's right. But why would you ever want to switch from TWRP?
I'd use fastboot to flash a new recovery. It's easy to do and the most recent twrp versions have issues. Goo manager only flashes the newest version afaik.

I didn't know CMW had problems ill just stick to TWRP
if i wanna change to cm download the file
fastboot your device
go into cmd promt
type in fastboot flash recovery RECOVERYNAMEGOESHERE.img
and your done
also remember the recoveryfile has to be in the adb/fastboot folder on your pc.
you can use hasoons A1O tool also (flash custom, then locate the file)

[Q] I want to update the TWRP.. it's possibly whitout a pc/adb ??

The question it's simply and i'ts on title:
On My OPO i have flashed the TWRP 2.7.1.1 successfully about one month ago........ now i advice it's been released the 2.8.0.0 and i want try to update it:
- I have downloaded the http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/bacon/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-bacon.img it's no possibly to flash it or upgrade it directly from recovery right ?
On Official page i have looked there is a APP called TWRP Manager. I have installed this APP but when i launch it i obtain a warning that APP force me to install the "Busybox stericson". WTF it's that this busybox ??? It's a addons for my phone ??? I can install it... but i don't know if this APP make some problems whit CM11S and/or make unstable the stock rom......
Exist another method instead using a PC and ADB ??

Normally busybox is free on the playstore. Not sure how to explain but it adds the possibility to do some commands, in this case TWRP Manager.
But I read posts from 2 people that they had issues with installing CM11s from scratch so I would wait to see if it is ok to do so or wait for an update.
2.7.1.1 works do there is no rush to update.
The Busybox installer by stericson is from what I gather not dangerous and is useful for many apps, such as the TWRP Manager. But if you are unsure, I believe the app Flashify does not require Busybox to be installed (don't quote me on that), and it can be used to flash the new TWRP 2.8 image file. Search for Flashify in the Google Play store and install it. Then select "recovery image" and select the TWRP .img file. That worked for me when I tried yesterday, but I can't give you any guarantees.
ok boys... tomorrow i uninstall the official twrp manager and try to use this app........... i hope this not brick my opo

Do not use 2.8, it has issues with flashing kernels. It can cause bootloops. Just stick with 2.7.1.1, it's rock solid.

For now i don't need to change nothing from STOCK ROM... i have already unlock the bootloader some month ago.. i have root permission and i have a good feedback whit the stock CM11S............
Otherwise if i have some problems i thinks i can re-download and i can reflash the 2.7.1.1 over this 2.8.0.0 whitout any problems rights ?

I strongly recommend installation using the fastboot method, as the apps are reported to work poorly or not at all.
TWRP 2.8.5.0 Won't Boot
I just installed TWRP 2.8.5.0 on my TF700T via the fastboot method (since TWRP Manager fails to install it). However, when I attempt to boot the recovery, the device locks up. This is different behavior than 2.8.4.0, which had a kernel panic and rebooted the device. Any idea how to go about debugging, or should I simply try older recoveries / wait until a newer one comes out?

Naturally, the dd method is the one method I didn't try. So I just did, and it works now. I did have to perform a normal reboot to complete the installation (as opposed to rebooting directly into recovery), but the instructions mentioned that (although they didn't specify that the reboot needed to be a normal one). So all is well now, and I can move on to installing ZOMBi-Pop, my main goal all along.
Makes me wonder why TWRP and fastboot failed, but oh well.

I can believe that for fastboot, but TWRP Manager claimed that the flashing failed. On my OnePlus One, TWRP Manager flashed the recovery just fine. Is the claimed failure just a caveat of flashing on the TF700T, and the new recovery will actually work despite it if you perform a system reboot afterwards? I think I'll try that next when the next version comes out, just to see.

Is the claimed failure just a caveat of flashing on the TF700T, and the new recovery will actually work despite it if you perform a system reboot afterwards? I think I'll try that next when the next version comes out, just to see.

Did you try to flash the twrp.blob in recovery?
That won't work unless you put the blob into a flashable zip.
Oh, re-reading your post you probably mean it failed in TWRP Manager. You take your chances with these apps. Don't use them...

You're right, I meant TWRP Manager. Thanks for pointing that out, I edited the previous post to reflect that.

That bricked my first tf300t!
Repeat:
Don't ever use TWRP Manager or Goo Manager for flashing recovery.

add Flashify to the list. Or make that: apps in general
Fastboot or dd command is the way to go
Never mind, thanks

openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
Can anyone turn this into a zip for me?
TLR - I think if I can get a zip of the latest TWRP I can get myself out of a nasty bootloop
I seem to have gone and bricked my Infinity while under the influence...
Installed new rom.
Decided to factory reset.
During format there was an error, and E: data no longer mountable (didn't realize this at the time)
Bootloop
Read some things online and thought maybe I didn't have the right TWRP
Installed a new recovery that was "compatible" with the rom I was installing
It was Philz cwm (freaked out)
Read a post that said I could force the tablet to re-format the :data partition from TWRP by using the terminal command "mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8" BUT can't run a terminal command from cwm

Thanks _that! I actually used a flashable version of your twrp recovery (2.6.3 maybe?) that I found, followed the plan I outlined above, and all is now well.
Where to get TWRP 2.8.6.0 for TF700T
Does anyone know where a TWRP 2.8.6.0 .img for the TF700T can be found? It's not available on the official website (actually, NOTHING for the TF700T is available on the offcial website).
Alternatively, does anyone know where a patched version of 2.8.50 that supports f2fs can be found? Or should I revert to 2.8.4.0?
Eh, maybe I'll just build 2.8.6.0 myself. How hard can it be?
Slightly harder than finding the Kang TWRP 2.8.6 by lj in the dev section I would think....
