15 APRIL 2012: ALL - PLEASE NOW REFER TO THIS THREAD HERE


Just found a new Clockwork-5.0.1.0 for our beloved Sensation(al) device
It works fine and didn't find any bug yet
The charging issue some of users had seems to be solved

In order for this to work, the HTC Sensation needs to be S-OFF.

How to Flash:

Flash via boatloader or push adb or fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or using Rom Manager

Download:

01/09/2011: 5.0.1.0:HERE

Update 05/09/2011: 5.0.2.0: HERE
If you want to flash via Bootloader just put the following file PG58IMG.zip in your SD card : HERE
changelog: fix the fact that some users were loosing root access with 5.0.1.0

already a heavy thread going for this, but it SHOULD be in the dev thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242522

EDIT* good notes too, there are too many plp who dont know how to do this with either method

 

[mike1986.]

Alternative method is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

what are the differences with clockwork 4.0 ?

check out the thread i posted, lots of testing notes

the most significant is the backups/restores are WAYYYY quicker

...and its blue!

Charging issue is still there. Doesn't charge when switched off or battery goes empty. Not Recommended for users who go out of battery very often..


To check if your phone is charging, turn off ur phone, remove and reinsert your battery(to make sure ur phone is fully switched off), then open adb and type::
adb shell cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/status

if it returns charging, it's fine for u, otherwise Think again..
I got discharging, so reverted back to 4.0.1.4(Modded for charging when switched off)..
Here's link for 4.0.1.4 for those who want to revert back http://goo.gl/4VlGV

 

[Solidus_n313]

it actually does charge when turned off, but not when in hboot/fastboot/recovery

i completely drained my battery, and it charged, but i had to let it fill for a min or so before i could turn it back on with enough juice to get back into OS

not recommended if kill your battery often

EDIT* the link i poseted has a bit of testing already done, it was just put in the general thread, not the dev one

Wouldn't the easiest way to flash it would be through ROM Manager? That's what I did

[Solidus_n313]

you'd be surprised how many people prefer the manual way (im one of them )

im not a fan or rom manager, you dont really *learn* when you use it, and doesnt work all the time

Did u try adb command when phone was turned off?
It gives me "Discharging', when just turned off and connected to PC.
I was f****d when i had just s-offed my Sensation, and went out of battery. So I'm too skeptical about all this

 

[Solidus_n313]

yup, discharging everytime now, looks like it only worked after that initial restart after a battery pull...

oh well, im still keeping it, the backup/restore is much quicker, and i use it a lot

Discharging for me with adb commandBut LED is red :/

No bro it charging normally even if your phone is turned off. I tried it already cause i have a spare full charged battery. The problem is when you are on recovery aka no charge. Anyway i still find silly to try flash a rom when you are on low battery at all.

thats what im sayin!

even though it says discharging on powered off, it does charge, but u just gotta wait a min or 2 so it has enough juice to power back on...

its not as bad as the < 4.0.1.4 problems, but either way its a better ver of CWM

LED doesn't exactly give proper info. When i was using 4.0.1.4(initial that doesnt charge when switched off that came with revolutionary), i charged phone for whole night and LED was red, but in morning, phone's battery was still empty.


LED is liar lol..

U r right.

But does that mean ADB is liar?? Dunno if i should trust adb or not..
I dont care whether it charges when i m on recovery, but i just want to be sure that my phone charges when i run out of battery.

its hit and miss for certain people, not sure what the variances are...it DOES recharge for me when powered off, and also for a few users

We can wait a few days and it will clear!
