There is a new recovery "RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_signed" for the Sensation XE, do you have to implant a new recovery every time??? or can we put it in the DATA folder and can we make a choice out of these by your program:confused:

My program can flash any recovery, this recovery could be either from your PC or from the download page.
In the case where you want to install a recovery that is not available, you can follow Step 1 to 5 from here and when you extract the "recovery_signed.img":
1. Open the Android Recovery Manager
2. Press "Start!"
3. Select "Browse for a recovery image on your Hard Disk"
4. Select from there the recovery you extracted.

Anyway, I don't see the point why you want to install stock recovery of the newest software :D

P.S: The recovery will be added to the download page in hours ;)

I got my device with this rom "RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.2_signed"
I got the OTA update, so i think the rom is now updated to ""RUU_Pyramid_LE_HTC_Europe_1.73.401.4_signed" that's why I was asking.:D

You installed the 1.73.401.2 recovery to install OTA updates, right?

Thanks :D
of-course you can!
Let's say you have Software Version 1.73.401.2:
1. Open the Android Recovery Manager
2. Press "Start!"
3. Press "Download a recovery"
4. Select your device model, like "Sensation" or "Sensation XE" (talking about 1.73.401.2 is Sensation XE so I chose "HTC Sensation XE")
5. Select the software version which in this case is "Europe 1.73.401.2"
6. Select "I agree" and click download.
7. The application will do all the rest ;)

When you successfully install your recovery, follow step 13 to 17 on this thread to install OTA update.

You can after that install ClockWorkMod from the application after that. ;)
Good luck :D

I commend you buddy, for making software like this. For the effort. But I must state what I initially thought, this software will do MOST of the XDA community an injustice. You see, if the NEWB's do not learn what they are doing to their phones then they will come to you and blame you for messing them up.

Anyone that wants to root they're phone. Wants a custom recover. Wants to flash custom ROM's. Wants to make backups. Wants to restore they're phone, etc. etc. should learn how to do. Otherwise you'll end up with a bunch of people yelling at you and pointing fingers because while flashing they're phone something happened and no they have a brick.

Worse than what I just described, is a bunch of people using your software but having issues getting it to work. Can you imagine 200 posts a day asking, "I did x and now I have y."

Again, I commend the effort, and I will give your software a go but NO MATTER what ANYONE says, even you in your main post, there is huge benefits in learning ADB, Fastboot, Difference between Bootloader/Recover/ROM. There is even more benefit in learning the dangers of flashing bootloaders and radio's. There is HUGE benefit in learning and knowing that the latest and greatest is usually NOT the greatest. Benefits in knowing that flashing a TEST or ENGINEERING build of a ROM usually means there will be bugs and issues. I could go on. Basically I'm saying that giving a newb software like yours just means they will flash whatever and blame you because something isn't working anymore.

Just my .02

I take no responsibilities for anything that may happen to any device, if someone wants to do something manually, nobody told him not to do so.
If somebody points fingers to me because anything happened to their device, I'll laugh. of course I'll try helping him, but that doesn't mean I'm responsible of his device, even the steps I'll give him if anything happened wrong, is still under his responsibility.

I know almost everything about adb and fastboot, but using my program eases everything. This application wasn't created for noobs only, it was also created for people not wanting to do everything manually. It really eases a bunch, click on a button and you have a new recovery. I, personally used to use it every time I was about to switch recoveries.

I never said that it's not important to know how to use adb and fastboot and how to flash new recoveries/roms/hboot/radios/etc.. That's why I made the newer version to create logs, that will let people have an eye on what's happening and how to manage adb and fastboot.

I hope you understand what I mean :)
Thanks for your reply, those are great tips for newbs ;)

Hey OP, do a Linux version of your Android Recovery Manager :D



Thanks
That's gonna be hard :D I'm using C# as the programming language :D
If I use Java later on, I'll surely make it for linux ;)

Version 1.2.0.0 has been released!
Enjoy :D

Code:
Changelog:
v1.2.0.0
* More powerful ADB and Fasboot commanders.
* Added logging, the application now saves every output by the commands executed, to an XML file.
* Flashing should now be faster and safer then before.
* When flashing a recovery, the application doesn't terminate any fastboot process, if any fastboot process is found opened, the application waits until the user closes it and then starts flashing.
