I've just updated 4.0.1.4 -> 5.0.0.8 -> 5.0.2.0, I'd only realised I was using a very old version recently.

I've not used 5.0.0.8 for much. 5.0.2.0 seemed to install a Zip, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, backup, .... fine for me. So I'm not certain what's happening in the earlier post 2/3 back with installing the zip.

Are you sure that the ZIP file is in the location specified. I just tried to install a non existent zip and got the same error messages. So my guessing is it's user error.

The biggest change for me was the change of colour to a more usable one (4.0.1.4 Dark Blue, 5.0.0.2 Light Blue).
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Download MD5 Checker from the market then you can ensure it's as complete as it was on the PC.

When I copy to the phone via USB I always make sure, or at least try to, that I unmount from the PC first. It should refuse until all writes have been completed.
[HTC Sensation] pterion:
I md5sum check the file on the mounted partition after it has been copied. However, I noticed that copied files have r--r--r-- permissions while adb pushed seem to have rwxrwxrwx. Could it be the reason for recovery's problems to install it?

mODEL ID incorrect

maybe my problem is that i have a Z710a model Sensation.

I have s-off and have upgraded to HBOOT 1.23.0000

But i can't install recovery

I have tried many versions via bootloader and got

MODEL ID incorrect

Tried via adb and got writing 'recovery' ....FAILED (remote: not allowed)

Any ideas.

incorrect ID - fixed

FIXED!!

I reverted back to firmware 1.17, The phone would once again boot (was in boot loop before) re-ran revolutionary and it installed recovery.

I did not think about running revolutionary again because it he S-off already. But then i read that revolutionary would install clockwork recovery, so i did that.

At 1am i finally had ICS on my new Sensation.

Hope this help someone.

i got the battery charging

all you have to do is put a piece of paper between the 2 middle squares on the battery and put it back in the phone. hook the battery up to the charger for about 15 minutes. after the 15 minutes unhook the charger and remove the paper and turn on your phone and you are good to go. i spent 3 hours trying things and this worked for me i hope it works for you good luck !!!! now CWM 4 here i come

Ok, just talked to Koush on IRC.

They Know about the charging issue and they are on it.

Sorry for crossposting...
[HTC Sensation] apeiron6:
My is charging without problems
[HTC Sensation] Solidus_n313:
same here, the problem could be a myriad of things...how its installed seems to be the big one, i installed thru fastboot, and no problems, but everyone who used rom manager is reporting issues...

im sure its just a HW model issue tho
[HTC Sensation] stanny2k:
Hmmm.

I've renamed the file to what it says in the first post, placed the zip in my SD root, turned phone off, booted into bootloader, it started reading the zip but then failed and gave me the normal bootloader menu..

I really can't be bothered installing ROM loader/manager or whatever its called, so any ideas why its not working via the bootloader?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] mexxxico:
maybe a bad zip. Try to download again.
[HTC Sensation] escalator:
flashed it throu rom manager, then i removed the battery and replaced it with another one, then i put in the usb-plug and it´s loading....

Yeah I'm flashing 4.0.1.4 as we speak...
[HTC Sensation] Rimidal:
I've made a test almost without ADB.

Fully charged my Sensation(7+ hours with a power supply and without any usage). Flashed this recovery.

Then turned it off.

Pulled the battery out. Put it in.

Connected to charger again without powering on. Led gone red.

Left it "charging" for a 2+ hours.

Turned it on.

Battery level was 94% right after boot.

My verdict - "Not Charging".

At least for me.

Waiting for a fix.

PS: BTW, while flashing recovery looked at adb state. It was "full".
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
Koush just posted update to sensation recovery, he said to test it and see if the charge issue is fixed,

"clockworkmod: Just released a new recovery for Sensation. Can you see if the charge mode stuff is fixed?"

Hey Guys,

Just flashed 5.0.0.8 that was available through ROM Manager.

I've only checked the batttey charging status so far using the adb command:

adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status

So far it all looks good.

Cheers....

EDIT: I should add that I performed the check with the phone powered off.....
[HTC Sensation] Lozone:
Installed 5.0.0.8.

Drained my battery until the phone shut off.

Plugged it in and it powered up.

Excellent!

I'm not by a computer so I couldn't check thru adb.

But I tried this.

Before I rebooted in recovery my battery was at 19%.

I let it sit in recovery plugged in for about 10 minutes then reported the phone.

Now bat is at 28%.

So it seems it is charging in recovery.
[HTC Sensation] WarlockW:
I DL Rom Manager But it didnt show 5.0.0.8 :/

Never Mind It Worked lol
[HTC Sensation] Lozone:
That is the ROM manager version.

In ROM manager it will download the latest recovery.
[HTC Sensation] joemm:
That's Rom managers version number, choose to flash recovery in Rom manager and it will install 5.0.0.8

[HTC Sensation] the_scotsman:
OK, can someone please tell me what we do with the downloaded image file? I tried adding it to a zip file called PG58IMG.zip but it doesnt work. The bootloader sees the file and processes it, but doesnt ask me if I want to flash it?
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Download this. Extract the files to a folder like c:/adb. Paste this recovery.img to same folder as fastboot.exe and others.

Reboot into bootloader and plug USB cable. It'll say fastboot usb on the screen.

Open command prompt. Write;

cd c:/adb(write here the folder locate that you paste the recovery.img into)

Then write;

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

It will take a second and you're ready.
[HTC Sensation] tomS01:
Hi I read the first post from Steve007, and keep his advice flash via adb.

Download the file rename to recovery.img put the folder of ADB and use the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" it was success!

First i charged my phone more the 50 %! I use now the first ver without trouble.

Thx

Ahh thanks. I have adb files, but didnt know the commands needed.

Flash this in HBOOT. For some reason I can't flash by adb using the FASTBOOT command so I used this. And yes I have adb/fastboot setup correctly. Just seems for this I can't flash it - weird!

Pls don't forget charge your phone before take action:D

Open this zip file via Winrar or any other zipper program. There is recovery.img in it. You can flash this recovery.img by using fastboot command.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Guys, I KNOW how to flash the .IMG via fastboot - I'm not that siily. The issue is it tells me I'm not allowed. I can flash anything else via fastboot just not recovery. No idea why. you don't get to 5,500 posts and NOT know how to use adb ;)

Could be down to me having 1.17.0011 HBOOT but S-OFF but I don't why that would matter

And if something goes wrong, can I return to an older version? And if so, how?

No, I flashed the 1.17.0011 over the Revo one to get rid of the silly pink banner. Has worked flashing in fastboot until now without issues

Maybe a dumb question, but should renaming the backup folders in cwm cause md5 errors? It would be nice to rename them appropriately, but the last time I tried, I couldn't restore due to an md5 error...
[HTC Sensation] Glotzeulor:
you can rename backups with the rommanager app, so you won't get problems.
[HTC Sensation] Towle:
I always rename my backups using the rom manager app and they restore just fine.
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
ah ok, I never use Rom Manager... always do it manually - but I can see a benefit of using it now!
[HTC Sensation] sosquidtaste:
I've always renamed Nandroid folders manually in Astro, and I've never come across any MD5 errors because of it.

Now I feel like I've gone and jinxed myself, but I guess the cat's out of the bag.

So is it safe to flash or not ? :p

One way is also flash it via Fastboot Commander.

Check it from my signature. And one note: It's not my tool. It's made by mumilover. It's over a year old, but it's just work! :D

It also allows you to do many other things like flash radio images, but one caution. Do Not Flash ROM.zips with this. It will not work.

Weird thing is u lose root after restoring nand backup. Happened with two roms

Oh well, back to 4.blah for now (dont wanna keep reflashing whole roms)

Sent by my feau gee
[HTC Sensation] Jimmy Flip:
If you restore a backup that wasn't rooted when you made it, you won't be rooted. If you restore a rooted backup, you will be. Root (on these phones at least) is just having su and Superuser in the system partition, which is overwritten every time you flash/restore a ROM.
[HTC Sensation] krat0s123:
Battery does charge when phone is off with battery fully discharged..
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
LOL trust me, I lost root access. Like I said I tried it on two diff roms (and ofcourse they're rooted) This also happened to a few other ppl who posted. I know wut I'm talkin bout(and doing). Had to reflash the whole rom again to regain root. Don't know y that happened bt it did, atleast on cwm 5.0.1.0. On the rev. 4.0.1.4 which I'm back on now, when I restore backups I don't lose root

Sent by my feau gee
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Back to 4.x

Didn't find any speed improvements using 5.x but definitely slower to reboot!
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
Interesting situation/question...

Just restored a nandroid (rooted stock), and when I went into Root Explorer, there was nothing in /data - rebooted, same thing. But everything works just fine - I tested out numerous apps that would've been in /data, worked fine.

I do have root access, and Root Explorer does as well.

Any thoughts? Never seen anything like this before... maybe it has nothing to do with this version of CWM, but I've never seen it do this before.
[HTC Sensation] umd:
Wov really shocked to see this message. I have similar problem. After restoring rom it has root problems and it didn't have before restoring. CPUstats, Root explorer etc. all said couldn't find root access. I didn't think this has something to do with CWM 5.0.1.0 but now I don't know.
[HTC Sensation] RADLOUNI:
I confirm the same problem. Lost root after updating cwm. Had to reflash su from recovery to get root again. Something is wrong with the new cwm updates.
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
Well, I haven't lost root access, and everything works fine just as before. There's just, apparently, nothing in /data now... which seems impossible - wonder if it has something to do with the file system type possibly causing Root Explorer not to see it? Just guessing though...

So you theoretically shouldn't lose root access - it would be weird for a nandroid to just leave out a handful of files (which is all root is essentially). I'm not convinced stuff is actually missing from /data, I just can't see it.
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
Well I take back everything I just said... I most definitely lost root access. Superuser.apk is still there, su is still in /system/bin, busybox is still in /system/xbin... not sure what's up, but I definitely don't have root access any more. I thought since I could see /system that I hadn't, but I can't do anything in /system (mount r/w, delete, rename, etc).

To those that wonder whether or not I restored a truly rooted "rom" (I was actually stock, and just rooted that), here are some screenshots of su/superuser.apk/busybox and their locations... but I can't acquire root access any more. I'm assuming if I reflash the .zip I'll be fine, and that's not a huge deal - but still...

I haven't tried fixing permissions, and I'm not really sure what permissions are supposed to be on su, but Superuser.apk looks good. Maybe su permissions are messed up? Looks weird, but like I said, not sure what they're supposed to be. Gotta wrangle the kids together, check back in awhile... here are the screens:

http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/4033527/1/root?h=f2551e
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
FWIW, ran fix permissions in cwm, no luck. Cleared data in Superuser, no luck.

edit: just a thought - maybe the nandroid restore breaks the su symlink? just a thought from a layman...
[HTC Sensation] piimp:
yeah, could be. for some weird reason you lose root access, so i just went back to rev. 4.0.1.4 as the backup for the new one wasnt even "that" much faster and the restore took the same time really..
[HTC Sensation] erasable:
I went back to 4.0.1.4 still have no root.

Edit: had to reflash rom. Restoring wouldn't work. Have root back but backups will no longer install. Something about boot img missing.
[HTC Sensation] Enzopreme:
That's the ROM manager version, not the CWM version.... ;)
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
so what im seeing is that once you restore a backup is when this root issue happens? i went to 5.0.1.0 but havent restored or backed up anything .. are people loosing root just from updating cwm or does it happen when they actually do a restore?
[HTC Sensation] jntdroid:
just restore
[HTC Sensation] zx34:

[HTC Sensation] Lozone:
Is anyone having having battery reading issues?

Just reboot the phone and see where your battery level is.

Mine jumps all over.

It will be at 90% before reboot and then 50, 60, 70% right after reboot.

I'm trying to see if this is because of the new clockwork or something else.

Please reboot and let me know what you see.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] 3c:
Had some weird stuff happening too, % dropping like crazy, the shutdown at 1%, plugged, switched on again, at 28%!!! So I cleared battery stats and moved back to 4.0.1.4. Also noticed weird behavior on reboot, long delay before being able to start the phone again even when battery was fully charged!?

Using stock-rooted ROM all along, so it might be CWM...
