Thanks Claude. I finally did it by following these steps:

1. Restored system data from a previous backup (good to backup b4 messing around) using the advance option in Recovery

2. Returned to Stock Recovery

3. Reboot the phone

4. Use software to search for update

5. Success.

The update was successful but I lost root and now there's a 'LOCKED' text showing where there used to be 'Revolutionary'. Should I follow the standard procedure in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 to root again?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
You're welcome! I'm glad you did it ;)

About the LOCKED and loosing root thing is normal.

Just run revolutionary, flash CWM using my application and install su zip file. ;)

Can you please explain in more details on how you solved your problem as it may help others? :)

thank you ;)
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
To get stock recovery you need to flash the one for your software version, I don't remeber having this software version in my database anyway, so if you can't find it on my application, you can send me a link to the RUU and I'll be more than happy to add it for you ;)

Of-course it's safe to flash CWM, it's much better than stock to be honest..

If you get more used to flashing and so on, you'll never do anything with stock apart doing OTA updates.. :D
[HTC Sensation] bakili:
Thanks

To be honest i managed to flash OTA update with CWM. I just moved update file from download folder to sd card root, and it worked.

Method B worked successfully many times! GREAT GUIDE THANK YOU :D

Now I am facing a problem, choosing the right RUU :/
[HTC Sensation] Shiz2k10:
Method b) worked for me on T-Mobile UK Stock ROM with S-Off and root, needed to track down the RUU Stock ROM it seems to be rare :)

Method a) does not work since the recovery for 1.34.110.1 is missing in the list, it's the one mine got shipped with.
[HTC Sensation] MattOG:
a) worked fine for me. Obviously didn't then go and try b).

2 points I would make.

1. To get into flash menu from stock recovery power then volume up doesn't work, it's volume up then power. This had me confused for a few mins having always used clockworkmod in the past.

2. The update will fail if you have removed any bloatware that is being updated, so people have to make sure they re-install all that before applying the update.zip
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Thank you for your feedback :)

I downloaded the RUU and will add the recovery as soon as I have time :)

Hope it helped ;)
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
1. Thank you, I never knew exactly the exact combination, for me the Power then volume up worked for me, don't know how :D Updated OP thank you :)

2. I've mentioned it in the notice as Status 7 :D but thank you for clarifying it to people ;)

Hope the guide helped :)

No Recovery for Europe 1.45.401.3.

Can i flash Europe 1.45.401.2? I´ve tried this but it keeps on waiting for devices, and yes i got HTC drivers properly installed.

Cheers,

PC

edit: manage to flash stock recovery back using the "b" method :), done the update and it worked.

Another question: future OTA updates will run automatically, or for every ota i must enter hboot and flash update.zip?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
I have no idea why the application isn't detecting your device.. :/

But anyway, I'll be adding the recovery for 1.45.401.3 very soon :)

You'll need to click on the Check for Software Updates button as each OTA gets released and follow the updates instructions.. You should flash the update.zip every time a new OTA is released. I'm not sure though.. If anybody knows anything about this, please prove me wrong ;)

Hope it helped :)

Thanks for your feedback ;)
[HTC Sensation] I AM M07S:
Hey claudenegm

Thank you thank you thank you

This guide was really helpful and I was then able to flash my ota's thanks to your application

Many many thanks and i wish I could donate (but I'm only 17 and don't have a visa or debit)
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad it helped :)

If you need anything, you can always ask me ;)

About the donation, it's okay, thank you :) I'm 17 too, so basically I don't have a visa either, and paypal accounts are somewhat restricted here in Egypt.. ;)

I just don't ask people more than a thank you if they liked my work :D
[HTC Sensation] erdo:
Hi, is there a recovery for 1.45.707.1 anyone?
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
I'd love to add it.. Just send me the link of the RUU and I'll add it in few hours :D

btw guys, can anybody make me a list of missing recoveries please? I'd be more than happy to add them now as I have some free time ;)
[HTC Sensation] josemanuel:
This is a great looking tool, which I found while needing to flash back to OTA.

As you offered, can you add this recovery from this RUU:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/cfd...00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_208218_signed.exe

Here is a big list of the others, if you really have time, but mine is the single one above.

It worked but...

Thanks for your help. It worked and installed the update 1.50.531.1 but I kind of lost root. I had to install clockworkmod manually since it couldn't install from the windows xp software. then I had to install superuser again since it did not work properly. Still there is a problem when I want to install busybox. titanium backup works fine, it has its own busybox. so far I think it is working fine. I have to do more tests. Thanks again. ah, I used option A but using the firmware that I downloaded from the link in option B.
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
You're welcome ;) Glad it helped :D

- Loosing root is somewhat normal.

- I have no idea why BusyBox isn't working, maybe search for one updated to work on version 1.50? :D

- Can you clarify what you said please? You flashed the recovery through Android Recovery Manager (step a) after extracting it from the RUU (step b)?

- Android Recovery Manager worked before the update, but didn't want to install CWM after the update? If that's the case, that's because your hboot has been updated, which isn't giving permissions to ARM to install CWM, you only had to run revolutionary again to give you the custom hboot.

I've downloaded the RUU and gonna add the recovery now. :)

You're welcome! hope it helped :D
[HTC Sensation] eocdouble:
Method A wouldnt' work for me, but Method B worked like a charm.

Thanks

but can you tell me what happened wrong with method (a) to make it nt work? So I can fix it in the future :D

Put back Stock Recovery, which RUU to use?

Hi, after having put CWM for a while to be able to put my Sensation in Root and S-OFF and to do a Backup of the full system, I want to go back to Stock Recovery, and I'm trying to follow your suggested method.

BUT I have a problem in choosing the apporpiate RUU for the ROM my device had. The official ROM I have is 1.45.75.3, with HBOOT 1.1800 and it is coming from Orange.

The closest ROM I can find in the links with the official ROMs is 1.35.75.1, also from Orange, but this ROM has HBOOT 1.1700.

Can I use the RUU of this ROM for go back to Stock Recovery (as a full ROM flash is not done) or I would enter into troubles as the ROM and the HBOOT are not the same?

If thet ROM cannot be used, what alternative method can I use to go back to Stock Recovery? I already did a factory reset and CWM is still there...

Thanks for any help
[HTC Sensation] JDR0iD:
I'm sure the ruu changes the hboot then u can re root and s off your phone again. I had to put back to stock orange ruu to send my phone back for repair which was older hboot and then s off and re root then installed the latest hboot from mike for ics.

Worked for me.

I had original stock rom backup with super user after using revolutionary tool with s-off no super cid. My hboot was 17.1111.1. After using tmobile 1.29.9351 recovery image it ran through process and said done, wait for phone to reboot in to recovery, however it just reboot into stock rom 1.45.9035.1. The OTA 14mb by t mobile was there to install. It install and said sucessfully update to 1.50.9035.1. I attempted to reboot into recovery but triangle with red popped up. With power button and volume button held it shows Locked, Pryamid PVT SHIP S-OFF RL, HBOOT 1.18.0000. I tried several times to run revolutionary tool which I used before coping and pasting generated key, however it continues to say invalid key. Question 1, with s-off show why is it locked and what can be done to get root again.
[HTC Sensation] dkephart:
Read the sticky about this. You will find that you need to install clockwork mod recovery (5.0.0.8) by copying its P58IMG.ZIP file to the root folder of your SD card, then rebooting into hboot (Down volume+power key) and pressing Up volume rocker to flash. Delete the P58IMG.ZIP file from your SD card, then you will be able to go into recovery, flash su, and be rooted again.

Yrs,

When I rooted my phone for the first time with revolutionary s-off, I used clockwork mod recovery and backup my original rom with super user and busy box. Later about a month later when I checked backup for updates the tmobile 14mb update was there to install. It wont update while rooted so I used android recovery manager lastest version and used recovery image US tomobile 1.29.5312. Flash the image and was able to install the 14mb that I had previously downloaded. My s-off status remained s-off. When I needed root againn I used CWM PG58IMG 5.0.2 flash it , then deleted it off sdcard, rebooted and flashed CWM again to lastest version and I was rootted again. Hope this helped

How long is this process??? I followed all the directions, and my phone has been sitting for almost an hour now...stuck on Flashing Recovery **DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR PHONE**
[HTC Sensation] lockab:
First of all its very quick, about 5 min. Did you use your original stock rom or a RUU. Original stock rom must have all appications it came with. I read the method of using RUU however did not use that process. If you need more assistance, message me and I try to be more detail. But it does work and I'm waiting to use it again once the official OTA from T mobile is released for ICS 4.0 that expected for the Senasation at the end of March.

do you have stock recovery for 1.73.707.4

Great tool.

the partitioning went well, but now i have a blank SD card. and whenever i try to copy back the stuff from my computer to the SD card, i get some weird error like "the path is too deep to copy the file" or something along those lines.

First of all, as a long time member I don't personally care if this is ban-worthy or not. Ever since orb3000 gained a position as mod, literally every windows phone related thread posted in the general section that I've posted, regardless of offering, has been moved. You can't blame it on the fact that some of them may have suffered from fanboyism as going through the first few pages of threads at a glance I spotted 4 that offered nothing but fandroids saying omg I love my phone. I dont understand the personal bias, had I posted these things in the android general section I'd certainly expect a move but that's just it, there IS an android general discussion, this is however the overall general discussion thread and while my threads may often degrade to people attempting to troll me thanks to people like xaccers and snapshot, they often hold more water than a lot of the android related posts that are left untouched. Please stop the bias, this is a forum for all mobile OSes (aside from iOS but let's face it, I have a three digit I.Q.)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dsf3g:
Just wanted to give everyone a head's up:

I just got one of those 360 degree swivel cases on eBay for $12.00. There's a seller who got a shipment that was poorly packed, and it caused a bit of physical damage to the cases. Truth be told, the damage is very slight, and to my mind definitely worth the discount. Check out the eBay auction for a picture that shows the damage (slight indentation on the cover). Mine is barely noticeable.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-Flyer-3...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item43a8bccc29

Normally these things go for about twice that price.

As for the case itself: it's a really neat idea, and helpfully includes a holder for the pen. That said, I still can't make up my mind if the portrait stand mode that is made possible by the swivel point is really useful or more of a gimmick. It's not super sturdy in portrait mode. If you push on the Flyer while in this orientation it's like the tablet is resting on a very weak spring. Kinda spongy. And the way it rests on the back cover I'm not convinced it'll hold up that well over long run. Furthermore, the ring that enables the swivel mechanism it about 1/2" thick, meaning that when you put your Flyer on a table, it appears to be hovering just above the surface. It works well in landscape mode, though which is really the most important consideration, IMHO. And the quality is just fine. It looks nice enough. I'll probably keep mine for a while and see how it goes.

What app are you using? I don't think the actual position (in the GPS chip) is updated more often than once each second in SGS2 (and most other smart phones). so the position should jump when you're moving unless it is smoothend by the application.

Or is the update faster than once each second nowadays?
