I've seen how to back up practically everything n the Sensation, with the exception of the stock recovery. How can that be done? I'm surprised I have not seen any mention of it.
Also, can the bootloader be customized? That super bright white screen is very annoying to look at.

AFAIK you can't backup the stock recovery
as far as i remember somewhere here is the stock recovery.img
just search it
about bootloader yes you can change the bootscreen but you have to be on S-OFF

Hi, I did search for it but only only found the stock rom and some stock apps. I read in another forum that you can back up the stock recovery using clockworkmod by booting directly into clockworkmod using fastboot on your PC instead of flashing it to the phone. I'll have to try that.
I already have the phone s-off :victory: How can I go about modifying the bootloader?
Also, how can I go about creating a theme for a ROM? I have CM11 installed and I'd really like to make a theme that makes it look as close to stock as possible.

type custom bootscreen sensation in the search
you will find some threads
about creating themes there are guides and tutorials
needs study
I tried that method for using clowkworkmod to back up the stock recovery, but I don't see anyway to do it from there since using backup makes a nandroid back up only. How can I browse what is in the bootloader so I can back it up before I flash any custom images to it?
I found some thread with custom splash screen and what not that look pretty neat and how to make my own. Thanks. :highfive:

switch off your device
remove the battery
put it on again and press + hold volume down and power button
it will take you to the bootloader
if i understood well what you mean
edit: i don't know if you can back up the stock recovery from bootloader

What I mean is to browse where the boot loader is stored (I have no idea where it's store), so I can back up the stock splash screen and whatever else is there. I like to have a back up of those before I change anything.

I am currently using cyanogen 7 and I wanted to try stock but...... I can get into bootloader but I don't know how to flash a new rom without Clockwork Recovery. And even with cwr it will try to boot into recovery and just hang on the Google screen with the padlock unlocked. I tried several things but I just don't know if I can flash thru adb? I'm brave but still a noob.
ive lost my clockwork recovery before... youll just need to reflash it(via fastboot, adb, or the terminal emulator included in cm7).
How do I go about it? Again I'm a noob at figuring this out..step by step set-ups anywhere? Thanks.

via terminal emulator
download and put the recovery on the main part of your "sd" storage. rename it rec.img for ease. then open your terminal emulator app and type..
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/rec.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)

or via fastboot(instructions in the development section here in the many threads on rooting/unlocking the bootloader)
Many Thanks! Will do.
Went thru all the steps-all good. The problem again is when I reboot and try to go "into recovery" I have no success. My phone freezes or just stays in the Google start up screen.The bottom keys do not light up; i.e. home,menu,back. unlike a regular restart. Ugh.
My phone refuses to go into recovery mode...after several different attempts. Hangs on GOOGLE screen after I attempt to go into recovery from the fastboot screen. Any idea anyone?

Do you mean the screen with an exclaimation mark with android bot ? If yes then press volume up and then press and hold power button, you will go into stock recovery.
If no, pardon me
Which clockwork mod have you flashed? When I flashed to 3.0.0.5 I would get stuck at the Google screen. To remedy this go into rom manager scroll to the bottom and select all clockwork mod recoveries and flash the 3.0.0.0 hope this helps.

This is happening to me. I get the exclamation mark screen and the button combination you mention above doesn't do anything. Version of clockwork is recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-crespo.
I don't really understand how, in this situation, i could go back to stock or flash a custom rom. Hope somebody can help.
That did it! I downgraded to 3.0.0 from the latast cwr....Thank you all for your help and input!

From fastboot, select reboot recovery.

distortedloop,
You the man - you the MAN!!
That works and I was able to go in and have a look at what was on the sd card from there. I don't have anything I want to flash on there, but i really wanted to know how I would do it.
Is that the standard google recovery i'm seeing, or is it still clockwork? Writing was blue, and going by what I read it must be google one as apparently you need to re-flash clockwork every time you are going to use it (or something like that).
God I hate going through the noob stage. I remember doing it with computers, and now it's my turn with android.

That is standard recovery from Google.
Clockwork currently has orange text, and does not require any fancy key combos to get into it, it just boots up directly.
Android 2.3.1 and up have a new script added to the normal boot process that overwrites any custom recovery images with the current stock recovery. Some think it's a safety feature, most think it's an annoyance.
If you want clockwork permanently, and there's no reason you shouldn't, in my opinion, then rename the file /etc/install-recovery.sh by adding .bak or something to the extension. This will prevent that script from running. Then, the next time you flash clockwork (whether through fastboot or via ROM Mgr), clockwork should stick.

Nightlies are pretty much stable, don't let 'nightly' dis encourage you. But if thats not good enough, you can download CM7 RC1. Yes theres a RC now. It's been out of alpha for a long time, they just didn't officially announce a 'beta' but unofficially (off the books) nightlies #1-40 were betas.
After RC1, the nightlies reset back to #1.
Hi
1) as you know that the ICS is out now but its official (no root). So, If i update my phone from (Cyanogen mod 2.3.7) to the ICS, and then I want to restore my phone & I want to return back to my rom('cyanogen' restore from backup) can I do that even if my phone (ICS) doesn't have root(since, there is a problem i though with rooting now) ???
2) Also, can i install a new Rom(when its available) even when my device not rooted ??
Thanks alot...
to Q1
Of course you can.
You can still boot into bootloader(power + volume up).
In bootloader you can use fastboot to flash the recovery.
Then DO NOT reboot into normal boot,BOOT into recovery DIRECTLY from bootloader.
Then here comes the CWM.
to Q2,you have recovery now,nothing can stop you.

i got a broken power button and i have to return the phone to the service centre but since i am rooted and bootloader unlocked i have void my warranty, so i want to unroot my phone and i cant figure out how to do so with a broken power button !!!
is ther any other way, like if i just flash a stock rom and give the phone, would they come to know ?
the man over there said they will upgrade the software first to check if its a software issue then they will check for a hardware issue, they have already ordered a motherboard from samsung.
what should i do ? im using a i9023 model
If you flash a stock rom and lock bootloader they will be non the wiser
Oh and boot up at least once so it replaces cwm with stock recovery

From where can I get a stock rom? I had a backup but my laptop got formatted
For best results, might be wise to wipe as much as you can, flash a Full ROM from here and lock the bootloader.
You may be able to play around with you power button enough to get what you want done (hint: tap just behind the power button) as you always would.

Reboot into bootloader, i know many ROMs allow you to do this directly, probably some root apps too. I have never had the problem so maybe it still won't let you flash if it thinks it's pushed in or something, but worth a shot anyway. Once you're in bootloader, connect to computer and "fastboot oem lock".

There is probably even an app that can send you to the bootloader, but i'm not sure what it would be. Otherwise i know for a fact that Slim and Pixel have the extended power menu, so that will work perfectly. Been too long since i've used others to say whether they do or not. That is basically the procedure though, so long as fastboot oem lock works while your power button is stuffed

fastboot oem lock, data/factory reset, format /system, format /boot, flash stock ROM and reboot into 100% googley stockness
Flashing an official ROM will, of course, remove the root (and custom recovery).
after flashing the stock rom how will i go into bootloader ? all apps need root
Sorry, meddled up the order there. Fixed now, just lock it first thing.
Also, worst case scenario you can always root again through alternate methods which don't require an unlocked bootloader if at all necessary.

hi all,
Firstly apologies if this is covered somewhere but for the life of me I cannot get to the bottom of this. I have spent 2 weeks on and off trying to get a solution but my Sensation is still boot looping.
The problem occurred when I turned on the camera but was faced with a blank screen. I could return to home screen but the camera would not work each time I launched. So I rebooted the device but then I was stuck in this boot loop.
Device info
HTC Sensation S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.0000
RADIO-11.21.3504.13_2
I was running Insert Coin 2.3.5 ROM for some time without issue
I was hoping I could just do a superwipe and flash a new ROM
FAIL - each time I boot into CWM and select Recovery, it just goes back to bootloop.
I selected Factory Rest from CWM menu
FAIL - it just goes into bootloop
Also cannot use ADB as the device will not connect to the PC. Im using a card reader to put files on the SD card but have not being successful resolving the issue.
Tried an SD card from a stock Sensation, no difference. Booting with no SIM, not working.
Most Bootloop fix's seem to involve super wipes / flashing new ROMs but because my Recovery goes into the bootloop I dont have this option. I wish it was so easy.
Can anybody offer an other ideas.
Thanks for you patience, I am not much of a modder or Android expert. I had just flashed a ROM many months ago to help improve battery life and I was happy with that.
Have you tried re-installing your recovery throught the bootloader?
try different recovery (4EXT) or reinstall recovery again
thanks guys.
I found these flashable recovery files. Both CWM and 4EXT. I have tried both zips and ran the update in HBOOT but am still booting in CWM and if I select RECOVERY is goes too bootloop again.

I think I might just give up and drop the phone into a phone repair shop and let them try it.
Did both flashes work? What do you mean you're "booting in CWM"? Can you boot into your system and are you using CWM app to boot into recovery, or are you manually booting into your bootloader and selecting recovery?

Can you please re-flash the stock ics (PG58IMG), look like you have some firmware issues (sometimes you have to flash several time in order to rectify previous mistakes...) Hope it helps, otherwise (in my humble opinion) you have some hardware problem
If you can boot normally into ICS and you are rooted, then get the 4Ext app or the ROM Manager app and flash the recovery through one of those.

Flashing the ICS PG58IMG.zip doesn't replace the recovery.
Fix recovery first. Use stock recovery. When you get that working, change to "simple" cwm recovery.
thanks for the advise. It makes perfect sense as it appears it is my stock recovery that is broken.
however, I have searched around and cannot find a stock recovery image that I can flash as PG58IMG.zip.
Any help would be much appreciated.

before flashing stock recovery...can you try this first
get this recovery image
and flash the recovery via fastboot
steps:
1.go to fastboot in your device and connect it to your pc (after this device should read fastboot usb)
2.get the adb/fastboot setup ready guide here
3.go to your adb folder and place the downloaded recovery.img there
4.type fastboot devices (it should show your device serial number)
5.now to flash type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
this should do...if it didnt work then let me know ASAP...then we'll think of other solutions

id already managed to work out how to root and flash recovery and then custom roms.................
It was when i had to reverse everything and go for a RUU radio update i became unstuck.........
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-mytouch-4g-slide-amaze-4g-rezound-and-vivid/
thats one of the main tools i as a newbie use to save all them fastboot commands...........
Right once youve downloaded this tool i used it to reflash stock recovery and then re lock the bootloader..............

you need to rename the stock recovery to recovery.img and put it in the recovery data folder(of the htc one s tookit) and then flash custom recovery from with menu in the htc one s toolkits ui
I then just relocked the boot loader................
all ok so far....................
After this i then updated the RUU and followed the on screen instructions..............Bear in mind it takes a little while.

HTC one s toolkit works just fine but doesnt at least on my phone flash the recovery back so it works...................
I have to do it this way via fastboot.

WARNING!
This is how it works on my phone and mine alone. Do any of the above at your own risk. As i am by no means a expert!!
