I've got a Sensation (I think its a Phillipenes issue) which was upgraded to ICS 4.0.3.

Basically I've managed to complete HTC Dev Unlock, then a few days later I lost Wi-Fi connection, so have been trying to continue with installing a Custom (or even the original) ROM in an attempt to fix it.

I've now done Junoptobear to get true S-OFF
Got root access
But cant get Clockwork Mod to install in Recovery...

I've installed ROMmanager Premium and used it to install the latest Clockwork Mod - it states its downloaded and completed but when I go to the bootloader and select Recovery it flashes the white HTC screen for a brief second then back to the bootloader.

I've tried to manually download the Clockwork Mod file and install to Recovery but I get the same issue.

Does anyone have any ideas?? Many thanks!

Hi there you can install 4ext recovery you can get the file here in xda or even from the play store. Many of us use 4ext because it has many options and is very easy to use.personally I prefer 4ext. All I did was download from the play store and opened the app follow directions choose version of recovery and it will flash from the application. I was already rooted and soff when I did it but it's very easy to do. I really think you will like 4 ext recovery. You already have s OFF and root so it should not be a problem. Best of luck to you. I hope this helps! As I mentioned most of us use 4 ext recovery and I doubt you will be disappointed. Good luck.

Get the recovery from Cwm PG58IMG.zip and copy the img file to adb/fastboot folder and try these commands

fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I may be wrong but this sorta sonuds like a problem abother member was having the other day. I think they may not have a eng Hboot installed. Question why not just let them flash the recovery using the PG58IMG.zip via bootloader?

Yeah.. I want to see the output of the command.. Also he can do it via PG58IMG.zip way which I think he already did it (he said he did it manually too... . So)

Awesome! That fixed it!

Looks so simple now I see it - but many thanks, that's the final step complete now!

ClockWork Mod now installed in Recovery! :D
