[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Uhm... The same way as I needed to follow with Clockwork recovery?? :confused:

And do I need to put the .zip file on my sdcard?
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Yup... on the Sd.. reboot to recovery and then select instal .zip from sd..

You have the recovery installed? if not.. maybe best to download the rom manager and install the recovery first anyway.. and then download LD rom and flash
[HTC Sensation] TEKHD:
Signing out for a few hours... Take care everyone...
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Uhm... Not quite sure to be honest.

I just followed the instructions step by step... So was it included in the instructions?
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Thanks for this. Running on CWM4.0.1.5 downloaded via Rom Manager, running the code above returns - Discharging :eek:. Will try the "newer" 4.0.1.4 version you linked a few posts back. I thought it was working because the led lit up whereas previous versions didn't.

UPDATE: The last 4.0.1.4 CWM posted a few pages back by show-p1984 is confirmed working for Charging while off.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Yup its all there...
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
Great.... I'm about to install LD via ROM Manager... Should I check Wipe data and cache and wipe dalvik cache?!
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Attention... that will wipe up your system clean.. all your data.. contacts.. sms.. apps will be gone.. i hope you have backed up..
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
But I need to do this right in order to install the new ROM?

PS: yeah, I also have checked the option "Backup Existing ROM"... So I would be safe right?!

(Btw: Thanx for your replies and helping me out!!)
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
yup good to go... flash away :)

Am off to bed now.. almost past midnight.. work tomm.. good luck :)
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
flash the recovery from post #876, this works perfectly.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
#876 is a new one with working led!
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
That's the one I linked to ;)
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Sry, you are right! didn't click on the link =)
[HTC Sensation] BioTecK:
I'm all set-up on LD.... It feels kinda different (as in speeding and delay in touch) but I'll give it a try and see what I can do about it.

Thanks for your help! Good night then! ;)
[HTC Sensation] biigreen:
I just followed the directions up to and including flashing Clockwork. I backed up in CW and am ready to flash roms. Before I do though, I want to make sure I'm good to go.

It seems from the OP that there is another step to obtain permaroot. From the files in the flashable in Step 3, it is installing SuperUser. The custom roms should have SU in there so I should be able to just flash away. Right?

When I reboot multiple times or battery pull... I'm still showing S-OFF as if I am already permarooted. Perhaps it is a wording issue or other semantics. I'm looking for clarification to be sure I don't brick a new phone.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
S-OFF != Permaroot

Do your homework @ google.
[HTC Sensation] Mash23:
OP should be updated with the really working recovery and guide how to flash the recovery via pg58img and fastboot. Shouldn't there be md5's to verify that the files are not corrupt?
[HTC Sensation] sbihue:
Got it done. Had the Gotcha when doing Perm root. Turned of Signing in CWM and it went smoothly from there.

Thanks OP.

Now only if I can get MIUI rom :cool:
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
4.0.1.5 does charge in recovery

just doesn't show it. NO LEDs or anything

i was on 49% battery

switched off booted in recovery, plugged in for 10-15 minutes

switched on and it was on 73%

so it DID CHARGE. will do more tests in a few hours time!
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
I put my trust in you! the OP! So I will stay with 1.5 unless you tell us different for the charging issue. Thanks! Going backwards to 1.4 seems odd.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
I'm font to conduct some more tests before I make a final decision later tonight
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
I also thought it did for me, but didn't test whether it actually did. When I ran the adb script pointed out by @show-p1986, mine showed that it was discharging whilst off and connected. It seems to be inconsistent.
[HTC Sensation] Mash23:
I also get the led to lit as amber but in recovery(4.0.1.5) the adb gives "discharging" :/
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
I had serious issues with 1.5. Among other things it kept charging my battery regardless the fact that it was full already. (This occured only when in CWM, off charging seemed to be fine. As this shouldn't be a problem cause the battery driver will cut the charging process, it still is a glitch.)

And you have no LED-Indicator. And this is pretty much random. On some phones it will charge, on other it won't.

By the way, you don't go backwards. afaik, the only thing attempted to fix in 1.5 was the charging issue and the 1.4 I posted above is from this morning. It is impossible to get a newer one. Flash it and be happy. Everything works and that is what's important. Not the ****ing version number.

Fixed Recovery @ #876
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Same as me. Change to the new 4.0.1.4 linked a few pages back in my post, that shows as Charging.
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
So you are saying this only happens while in CWM? I charge in stock mode and LED works and turns green with 1.5 I run only root and soff with stock rom. Maybe I have not issues with leaving 1.5 or should you say i download the one in the post 876?
[HTC Sensation] Marshal21:
Pls,how i can flash this .img file?? Thanxs
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
While inside the ROM, CWM does nothing. The ROM controls the charging. CWM only controls the charging while the phone is completly shutdown and in Recovery. (Not the HTC-Fastboot shutdown under Settings->Power->HTC Quick/Fastboot, if thats enabled, a powered off phone will still be controlled by the ROM. It's a little bit like you put your Computer in hibernation...)

I can only strongly recommend that everone switches to the version I posted above. I am not aware of any problems. And if nobody gives me a rly good reason to update, I won't.

Here is something one should always follow:

Never change a running system.
[HTC Sensation] sbihue:
copy file to sd-card root, reboot in hboot mode and use Vol up button to take the update.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Pull battery.

Put it back in.

Press VOL.DOWN and PWR BUTTON for 4 seconds.

Release PWR-Button, hold VOL.DOWN till u see a white screen (Hboot) then release VOL.DOWN

Choose FASTBOOT

Connect your phone to your PC (FASTBOOT should change in FASTBOOT USB)

execute from a windows Command prompt (which is in the folder your fastboot.exe is) this:

fastboot flash recovery name_of_img_to_flash.img

use root for Linux:

su -c './fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img'

Choose Bootloader when it is rdy.

Choose Recovery.

You are done.

EDIT:

This:

Won't work, because Hboot looks only for specific filenames. Which this .img has not. Even if it would do it, I don't trust sd-cards. They produce read/write errors. When you flash it with the guide above, you are on the safe side. (Because the phone will recieve the file via USB, then safe it in NAND and check it. THEN it will be flashed out of the NAND.)
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
RIGHT BOTH CWMS appear to be charging, CWM 4.0.1.5 does charge when it is switched off and also while it is in recovery.

THe LED does not light up while in recovery but the phone is still charging

IT is like saying

my car indicator light is not working so i assume it i cannot make a turn

Bull ****, you do not need an LED off to confirm your phone isn't charging, i personally purposely switched on GPS and ran titanium restore while on a call to drain my battery to 30 Percent, switched off completely. charged it for 10 minutes, switched it on it was 42 %. switched it off and booted to recovery and then rebooted into rom, after another 10 minutes it was on 56 %.

of course adb is going to throw back discharging because recovery isnt displaying whether its charging or not.

So Recovery is charging

but just to satisfy everyone's needs and desires to move backwards and to be notified by your AMBER LED IT IS DEFINITELY CHARGING ILL UPLOAD the updated CWM 4.0.1.4

BUT THIS DOES NOT PROVE IT IS THE BETTER ONE. I still like cwm 4.0.1.5
[HTC Sensation] AZ2ENVY:
Just something I noticed after flashing 4.0.1.4 , ROM Manager still says current

recovery is 4.0.1.5 but booting into recovery through RM its the current Blue

4.0.1.4 . Doubt this is gonna really make a difference just thought I would share .
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
I put the image from show-p1986 into a flashable zip. Rename to PG58IMG.zip, copy to sd card root and boot into bootloader as explained in step 2 of the first post.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
It's not about the led as when I run that adb code it shows my device as Discharging on 4.0.1.5, but Charging on the new 4.0.1.4. It seems to work for some an not for others.
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
i know i noticed that too, adbshow it as discharging but really it is charging ??? something wrong with the coding there so its not giving back the right response
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Ok, strange then :confused:
[HTC Sensation] wowserer:
Hi on step 5 Im getting 'AdbWinApi.dll missing' pop up when I try to run revolutionary.exe.

Any ideas please?

Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] ClydeB1:
Do you have a file named that in the folder where you extracted all files to? Another user had the same problem and it was solved by switching off the pc anti-virus and redownloading the file.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Google could have helped you, too.

Extract this in the same folder your revolutionary.exe is.

Solved.
[HTC Sensation] wowserer:
Sorry about that had to pop out, anyway still no go even after placing the file in the same folder as the revolutionary,exe is
[HTC Sensation] Scupra:
Hello, so I have installed the correct drivers, put usb debugging on, have no htc sync or anything else, plugged phone in, ignored htc sync error, and then I run revolutionary.exe and the program says "waiting for device..." forever and never passes this point. I am using windows and have tried charge only and disk drive as well. Any suggestions on what to do? Thank you very much!

Everything was going great till i wanted to permanantly root, i tried 3x and also followed with the 2 other follows as instructed but it keeps coming up failed, any ideas??

many thanks
[HTC Sensation] sbihue:
just to confirm, while in CWM mode, when it reported failed, you used the toggle signature option and it showed you "signature verification off"
[HTC Sensation] dragonglance:
yeh i got it now that was the problem, just toggled it off

many thanks

copy it from the website, paste it in notepad and write it manually into the command prompt. With the different font in notepad you are able to see differences between I and l, O and 0....
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Not working! renamed to PG58IMG.zip and put on root (main ) of sd card. Then boot into Hboot. Does not find it. No prompt to install. Also tried it unzipped.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Download the recovery from here:

Thank you much, problems when installing root zip but 3rd time was the charm. Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Thanks. However I am stuck on step 7. Not sure what you exactly mean. I am able to choose Fastboot. Turns to FastbootUSB when I plug into this old XP laptop. However not sure what the exacutable is? This is an IMG file. Where do I copy and paste? Do I change to this file name.
[HTC Sensation] show-p1984:
Step 7 for dummies:

WINDOWS + R

cmd

ENTER

cd C:\PATH\TO\YOUR\FASTBOOT.EXE

ENTER

TYPE: fastboot flash recovery C:\PATH\TO\THE\cwm-4.0.1.4-pyramid.img

ENTER

Proceed with the next step.
[HTC Sensation] crazy talk:
copy it, click the cmd icon in the top left of the window asking for the key.

EDIT>Paste>Profit
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
THanks but still stuck. Not much of a PC programmer.

1.WINDOWS + R " Done no issue"

2.cmd Comes up with c windows dos like window c: documents setting ect ect

3.ENTER See above

4.cd C:\PATH\TO\YOUR\FASTBOOT.EXE Stuck here! I have no idea where my path is.

5.ENTER

6.TYPE: fastboot flash recovery C:\PATH\TO\THE\cwm-4.0.1.4-pyramid.img

7.ENTER

8.Proceed with the next step.

I have the file image saved on my desktop.
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
Create a folder in the root/base-level of your C drive and call it 'cwm'. Copy fastboot.exe, AdbWinApi.dll and cwm-4.0.1.4-pyramid.img there. Then you can just use the command:

c:\cwm\fastboot.exe flash recovery c:\cwm\cwm-4.0.1.4-pyramid.img
[HTC Sensation] iceshark:
Thats easy and I can do that. However I only have the Pyramid.img file Where do I get Fastboot.exe and the .DLL file that I need to put in the folder?

POst 1 is now uploaded with a new PG58IMG. with the 4.1.0.4 fixed clockwork recovery (LED WORKING IN RECOVERY)

NO NEED TO USE FASTBOOT

AS ALWAYS FOLLOW STEP 2

copy to sd card, go to bootloader

let it update itself
[HTC Sensation] Haugrud:
Because of S-Off and Nand write protection is off, are we able to write simunlock=00 just like the DesireZ/HD/G2?

Not sure if this would be as simple as writecid 11111111 (ie writesimunlock 00) but has anyone tried this or is someone even working on this at all?

I would try it myself but I have yet to pick up a sensation, It's on my todo list :)
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
Didnt work, tried a combination of commands

fastboot oem writesimunlock 00

fastboot oem writesimlock 00

fastboot write simunlock 00

write simlock 00

all of them didnt work, command error
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
There might be some of these too:

readsimlocktype

enablesimlock

addsimlockcode

clearsimlockcode

listsimlockcode

clearunlockrecord

I'll finally have a chance to test some stuff out with my phone tonight.
[HTC Sensation] Marshal21:
I have a different problem. When I turn off the phone completely (no fastboot),so I charged him, but also when fully charged,the orange light still shines (no green fully charged led).

[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Tried to catch up on the last 10 or so pages... whats wrong with recovery 4.0.1.5? The LED is definitely working.. I charged it in full off mode last night... just doesnt turn to green once full charged.. I charged for almost 6 hours and it was still orange.. I turned the phone on and it turned to green.. ofcourse battery was 100%.. so that could be a concern..
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
not charging for some people and when they used the adb command bottom of step 2

it came back as discharging while plugged in.

this one has come back as charging
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
I dont care what ADB shows, as it is dependent on whats on your PC as well..

I charged overnight with phone full off on CWM 4.0.1.5 and it charged... just that the LED remained orange even when fully charged, did not turn to green.. can we possibly get this message to the devs so maybe it can be fixed...
[HTC Sensation] Marshal21:
I have the same problem.
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Case sensitive. Copy and paste is your friend...
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Is this a newer or better recovery than the one in rom manager, or the same?
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Engineering bootloader?
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
well it was just made last night and its made by revolutionary, the guys who made s-off
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
Oh nice, I'll open rom manager and let it update.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Haugrud:
Hmm, I'll have to see how they did it exactly on the older devices, get their input on the Sensation. Thanks for trying that tho!
[HTC Sensation] themoebius:
Yikes all is NOT well with CWM 4.0.1.5. I flashed it through the app yesterday, let my batt drain to 0%... and BOOM... NO CHARGING. LED would flash a few times, 10-11 short and a couple long... then nuthin. Just got back from swapping my batt out at T-Mobile just to get one with a partial charge so I could boot the phone. Wasn't just me either... 4.0.1.5 is still borked for a lot of people. ;)
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
I charged it overnight.. switched off (full off) it charged just fine... Maybe an idea is not to let the phone switch off and actually start charging when it is down to 10 or so %
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Have you tested it Janaab? How does the LED behave? Is ithe blue text one?

I am happy with 4.0.1.5.. dont see any problem as such.. but may flash if it comes up ok..

Ikhzter: Could you also add in an update date on the subject of the OP, so we can keep an eye and know when something is updated... also maybe a line at the top or the bottom briefly describing what has been changed..
[HTC Sensation] Phateless:
I've been charging with the phone off overnight for a couple days now and it works fine. Using 4.0.1.5, downloaded straight from rom manager.
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
The only trouble is that it doesnt change to green.. stays orange.. even though its fully charged..
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
change

good idea dude

Am testing it now, Ill check it in the morning what it says about LED battery is charging lol, its on about 91 %but am going to sleep as it is 6AM here

mine gets to it saysing fastboot rebooting (again) then says connection was interrupted. then says i can exit after i press any key (almost).

i can't figure out how to get past this. ive tried it several times.

also what are the win-tools zip files for?
[HTC Sensation] exc4lib3r:
CWM v4.0.1.4 for AlpharevX

that small screen where there was double looks gross.. heres the better one!

1. put recovery1.img in adb/tools folder (unzip it from the attachment below)

2. hold vol down+ power until you get hboot

3. select fast boot

4. plug in usb

5. go to cmd and navigate to adb/tools folder

6. type in command: fastboot flash recovery recovery1.img

(once it finished and it says it's done.. then move on..)

7. select shut down on phone

8. reboot into hboot (might want to unplug usb before you try to reboot into hboot)

9. select recovery mode to enter cwm

ENJOY sexy CWM the way it should be..

thanks to HighVoltage2349 on irc

Yeah I think the issue only seems to be IF you have let you battery run fully dead, 0%, kaput... then it won't charge. Otherwise I have seen others say they have no issues. So strange. What is this "new" 4.0.1.4 I keep reading about?
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
OK,

Let me know how the charging goes.. does the orange shows up and does it show green when u r fully charged..

Also use power down option in the recovery.. it did not work previously in the 4.0.1.4
[HTC Sensation] xl VipeR lx:
what do u mean power down? do u mean power off? it works :)

can you do me a favour?

i put a little something together, can u check it out for me, flash it through clockwork. its based on coredroids framework but i ported most of my pngs from the Desire HD thread i made earlier this year.

ill pm u the link then pm me back what u think.

I'll have to do it later tonight.. at work now :( PM me anyway..

lol well if you have free internet on your device you can download it directly to your device and flash it through clockwork, just want initial thoughts on it. its not finished yet,

but after making very slight changes im thinking of making this the LITE version.

http://www.multiupload.com/3CZ8LHTPNZ

i will put this in the themes thread when im done but its a personal touch for me and i prefer it :)

especially the blue carbon fiber buttons :)

the Full version will be about 150 MB not 50 MB

so let me know wot u think, i pm you the link now
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Any screenshots?
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Thats great.. but within 2 mins? Is it 100% now?
[HTC Sensation] PG101:
Besides the orange not turning to green on fully charge i thin 4.0.1.5 is as good..
