[Q] recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation link not working

Hi there,
I am working through the Guide to Unlocking your Sensation and the link to recovery v5.0.0.8 for the Sensation is not working.
Is there another place I can download the file?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lizzie.
Edit:
Looks like someone updated the MultiUpload Link. Thanks guys!

You may download it from here: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/ Just search for ....pyramid.img and flash from fastboot.
But I suggest you to get the latest v 5.0.2.0. Works fine in every aspect.

New CWM Version?

How do I update to the new version? Will it affect the back-up files that I have already made?
Sorry if the questions seem silly.
I'm still trying to get the hang of all this!

Open up rom manager and hit the first option...it will flash to the latest CWM recovery. Your old bckups will still work.

Make sure you are connected to the internet via mobile or wifi. Then go to Rom manager. Open the app and press Flash ClockworkMod recovery and the bottom should list your old one and the phone will flash the new one automagically

now if i try unlock bootloader with htc dev method
fastboot oem get_identifier_token ---> [ERR] command errror !!!
Edit : WrongForum ....

may i ask how to flash the .img file?

I'm using the guide to S-OFF etc...
It states to use recovery v5.0.0.8.
A file called PG58IMG, I cant find this, I've S-OFF'd and I'm looking to update and then use recovery.
What's the best file? Does it need to be the Zip file?

I have uploaded CWM 5.0.2.0 here: http://www.axifile.com/en/EC384AC809
MD5: 85b5f10c9afe33fb50396bd5f54bc7de
I just flashed it on my phone and it seemed to work fine, I was on 5.0.2.0 and still am ;-)
I uploaded and downloaded it and it's the same MD5 as the one on my phone that worked.
Just rename to PG58IMG.zip boot up from scratch (Power and Vol -), vol + to flash. When it wants to reboot after flashing pop the SD-card out and rename it after booting.

I came across this, it might be abit outdated but I'm guessing it'll work fine.

I've put it into my root on my SD card, and updated it.
I'll do recovery now.

Hmm, version 5.8.0.2 Not certain what the differences are. I tend to stick with something that works until I need to change ;-)
Well you're winning, from zero to two versions to pick from now ;-))

I've flashed the ROM, just rebooted... I'm guessing the first boot will take awhile.
Will all my data be on the phone?
I guess by checking System settings etc I can see if it's worked.

....I remember how frustrated I was when I found out that there were no working links anywhere. But, maybe I just didn't know how to search.

If you're changing ROMs did you Superwipe before flashing?
If you Superwipe all data/apps on the phone will be zapped, the SD card should remain intact.

Erm, I've only gone from stock to ARHD 4.1.13 so far...
All I did was S-OFF, CWM Recovery and flash the ROM on.
I haven't done anything else yet.
All my apps and data on my SD card are fine atm.
I do want to flash an ICS ROM onto my phone, I'll be following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767

Yes, that was my exact feeling. I mean if you get a brand new £250 phone, then your not going to mess around with it, are you? No. You are going to try and get the prefect amount of information and clarity so you know you won't mess up.

In the ARHD (mike's) thread there is a SuperWipe script in the downloads. Use that when changing between ROM flavours, or if recommended by the dev when changing versions. E.g., VI from 2.0.0 -> 3.0.0 required a SuperWipe.
MAKE sure you take regular Nandroid backups before/after you changing anything.

That's precisely it, I've had my Sensation for a while now and want to get the full user-experience from it. I know it is irritating for you guys to have to answer the same Q&A's over and over again, I did try reading everything but with so many answers and so many flavours it's a bit overwhelming.
I might write a guide from a noobs perspective (for noobs) on what to do...

Oh right ok, well I've been advised to change my recovery to EXT4, which I'll do tomorrow. Nandroid backups, is that when I go into HBOOT and choose Recovery? That's a good idea. So when I do go to update my ROM to ARHD 6.xxx for ICS I'll use Superwipe to clear out my app etc... So by using recovery I'll keep my app data/saves etc?

Root fail
I do evrything but when i get to bootloader he starts to read fails from sd card and then says phrasing****** and then nothing. How to root

Soft Bricked! (Need help finding RUU)

Hey Everyone!
I've been trying to fix this problem for hours with no luck, and while I've found solutions that have worked for others I can't find one that is specific enough to my situation.
So I just got an HTC One X that is locked to Rogers today from Kijiji, and I love it - great phone. The thing I didn't like was the hoard of stock apps that took up about four pages on the app drawer, so I thought hey, I'll root it and delete them. I didn't have any intention of using any custom ROMs, just wanted superuser permission to delete stock apps. Unlocking went fine (finding the token and what not using the app I found on here), and the rooting seemed to go alright until it turned off and didn't start again. I pulled out the cable from the computer and now things are weird..
I can sometimes get into the hboot, but when I try to just start the phone normally it goes to the HTC splash screen and has red writing telling me "this build is for development purposes only", etc etc. I really wanted to get rid of those stock apps but at this point I just want my phone working again. Am I screwed?
I CANNOT find the RUU that I need ANYWHERE. I've tried flashing both Clockwork Recovery and TWRP, and both are apparently successfully installed, but neither will open for me. This is seriously pushing me towards an iPhone
Thanks in advance.

Yes, please get an iphone! Redpoint73 resource compilation thread, linked in my signature, has all the RUUs and OTAs you would ever need. Good luck.

Sweet, I found the right RUU but it's a zip file and I'm not able to get into recovery mode on my phone. I can get into hboot but rebooting to recovery from there just shows the HTC splash screen with the "developer only" message" then shuts off again. I've tried installing both Clockwork and TWRP with no luck. Any ideas?

The zip file is an OTA and not an RUU. You would need to extract the recovery from that zip file (may be burried deep). Will be called recovery.img or recovery_signed.img or something to that effect. Fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img then boot to that recovery then install the zip through the phone's stock recovery.

I really appreciate the help but I still can't seem to find the proper RUU. I've tried a few and they all fail. If it helps, the number I get when I typed getvar version-main is: 3.17.631.2
Would someone be able to link me to a download for this particular RUU? Thanks
Edit: Thought I'd update a bit of what I've done. Ive found the one I should need in the list you've provided, but there is no link for download. There is the OTA file but not the RUU. I've been using ARUWizard to try to install the RUU, but any one I've tried so far just says it's not the right one. No other error messages, it just tells me to find the appropriate ROM. I can't understand why this is so difficult to find the right one! It seems like all the other models are readily available. Thanks again!

Rogers did not release an ruu for that software version. Proceed with the ota the way I explained in my last post or s-off if you want to run the ruu for the older software version.

For some reason flashing stock recovery doesn't work for me. It says it is successful but when I try to boot to recovery it just goes right back to hboot or sits on the HTC splash screen. I can install TWRP though. Do you know of a nandroid backup for my phone? cid is Roger001

Try that. Nandroid will not restore your recovery. Only the ROM/kernel/radio files and settings.

I have tried that but unfortunately still can't get into stock recovery. It just goes to the HTC splash and shuts off after a couple of seconds. I know I have the right OTA so if I can get into stock recovery I shouldn't have a problem. Any other suggestions? Am I downloading the wrong version of the recovery?

Extract the recovery from the OTA Zip file. It will be in there somewhere. I have done this myself so I know it works.

Sorry, I forgot to mention, if you are not S-OFF, you need to relock after flashing stock recovery and doing fastboot erase cache.

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply, it was a busy long weekend. Here's where I'm at now. I've managed to install cyanogenmod, which booted up fine and everything looked great, but the touch screen didn't work. After some searching I found it it is because the firmware is too new or something, and to downgrade the touch firmware I would have to S-OFF, which would require me to superCID... and I don't know what any of that is and I'd really just like to get back to stock anyway, so..
I've done what you said. Taken the "recovery.img" out of the OTA file for my phone. I've flashed the recovery, relocked the bootloader and erased the cache. Upon booting to recovery it will either splash the HTC screen then go to a black screen (I used to think it was powering off but it looks like it is on but just not displaying anything). Sometimes it will show a image of a phone with a red exclamation mark with a triangle around it.
I feel like I've royally screwed up this phone and I'd just like to get it back to stock.
Thanks!
Edit: The internet is telling me hold volume up + power to get to recovery from the red triangle, but it just reboots me into the bootloader.

You just need to get into stock recovery. Then you can install that ota zip file. I remember having a hard time getting into it too. I would reflash stock recovery to try to remember how I got to the flash screen but my motherboard is out on rma.

Just posting in case other people have my problem:
I didn't fix it myself, but a friend did for me. He said it wasn't rooted properly so he basically started from scratch and redid that part of it. There is no RUU file for my phone, but he used to AT&T version and it seems to have worked perfectly. Nothing I've noticed so far has any problems.
Anyway, thanks for all the help guys!

Since your friend fixed the issue for you what firmware are you now now. Is it still rooted?

Looks like I have Android version 4.1.1, HTC Sense 4+, and using CleanROM 6.5.0. Is that what you were wondering?
Also, SuperUser is enabled in SuperSU, so that means I'm rooted right?

You can just use the 4.4.3 ruu and do the OTA, then your firmware is done all in 1 shot

can someone upload a 4.4.4 system dump? or point me to one if someone has already? thanks!

I have looked around and found all kinds of different answers so can someone here help me out a bit?
I got the phone when it first came out, have S-OFF, root, TWRP custom recovery but have version 4.4.2 still installed with everything being left pretty much stock. I would prefer to keep things pretty much stock so what would I need to do to update to 4.4.4? Do I need to get 4.4.3 first? Do I need to flash stock recovery first before doing anything? Anything with firmware or radios?

Reasonable enough, sorry if this is another dumb question but I havent been paying much attention to these boards since I rooted, I see that recent phones require Sunshine to root, is that because of the firewater method being patched via a software update (4.4.3?) or some other manufacturer change that I shouldnt be concerned with if the old root method already works for me?

nope, if your already SOFF, you will stay SOFF. might break your root, but all you need to do is reinstall supersu when you put twrp back on

Thank you for the quick work, I'm headed off to work or I would be attempting this now. Hopefully when I get back tonight I can update to MM with no problems. Thanks again for this

Possible to get the firmware w/o twrp? I'm running multirom.

Are these incremental updates from 4.17.605.9 or can they be flashed clean? Thanks for getting this up so fast :good:
EDIT: I'm sure they're incremental. Time to RUU...

Just FYI, for anyone who doesn't have an external SD, make sure you don't try to use the Marshmallow recovery to install the update... It's missing the "Apply update from phone storage option". Flash the 5.0.1 recovery found in dottat's RUU, and you'll be able to apply it from the internal phone storage.

Also posted a stock nand you can move into your backup folder and "restore" after flashing the custom firmware zip.

I havent done this in a while, but I am S-off and TWRP, do we start with the "Custom firmware zip that includes all M firmware and TWRP 3.0.0.1 " ? to keep twrp? Or start at the beginning and flash from there?
(I have downloaded all the files. Hoping for MM to work better then lollipop on my M8 before I throw it down the street.)

Used the custom firmware and flashed it through hboot.
Worked like a charm.
Thank you.
Now just need to remove that red text.

Looks like there will be a little bit of debloating necessary in order to make our custom RUU. Also, since this one is meant for s-off users only i'm not going to include stock recovery. I will include TWRP. This will enable users to fix stuff remotely and be ready to flash immediately after.
I am tossing the OTA updater, the amazon crapware, htc speak.

My phone is S-OFF and Rooted with TWRP
How wud you suggest me to proceed with this MM update (files you posted)
My requirement - It should be rooted and no Bloatware at all.

Do you mind if internal is wiped during the process? If so, you might like the RUU that i'm getting ready to upload

Thanks for your work, dottat. Can't wait to give this a try.

Allright gang.. had to attach the supersu.zip to the OP... this new systemless root will probably take some playing with to make work on an RUU. Since the RUU itself includes TWRP, simply download the supersu.zip attached to the OP and flash it normally in TWRP.
And BTW, you guys got the new emoji.

Downloaded, now tell me how should I install this (method/Command)
Also, if your phone is up now then does it has "Internet Pass through" ?

flashing ruu without wiping?

Hey all,
Earlier I had downloaded a zip file from the guide that's stickied in another thread here on XDA.
I renamed the file, and copied it to my address card, then booted to download mode and started the flash sequence. This erased everything on the phone.
What did I do wrong? Was I supposed to flash the zip via TWRP instead of flashing via download mode? Thanks in advance for any tips and advice

Sounds like you flashed a RUU
Tip: Don't flash a RUU to update if you don't want to start fresh.
Advice: double check what you are downloading.
Lol hope that helps.

Thanks for the reply. What should I be flashing then?

In that Google spreadsheet, there are tabs at the top. Click on the one that says firmware.

Thank you! I didn't even notice the tabs. And to confirm, the only way to flash firmware without wiping is to be S-OFF? Or is dirty flashing acceptable?

Modified or unsigned firmware needs S-off. Look for signed-Firmware.zip
The signed firmware will not wipe phone.

I'm sorry for my confusion. The firmware files look like they are incremental updates lose to 100mb. I also cannot seem to find the signed zip files? And do I flash the signed zip (once I find it) within TWRP or Download mode? Your help is much appreciated..

Haven't looked inside the tabs lately, however they should all be signed firmware, as we do not have s-off yet. Firmware is flashed in download mode.

No there are no signed packages. Those on the sheet are unsigned combined ones in preparation of hopefully getting S-OFF sometime.
With respect to signed firmware packs. To make sure nothing goes wrong one would have to flash them one after another in the exact order of the OTA updates that came out. Regarding the risk of a brick if I'd provide them and someone shouldn't read the OP of my collection thread carefully I pulled them all.
If it would be possible to resign firmware packs it mightbe possible to create combined packages just like the ones for S-OFF. But as we don't know how to sign them there actually is no way of realising those.
