Please unlock your bootloader at htcdev site and root your device. Rooting instructions posted in this forum. Please follow instructions carefully and as stated.
1. After doing the above then flash recovery posted in this forum. Choice of 2 but recommend modaco version. Test recovery by choosing it from bootloader screen and pressing power. Reboot into bootloader
2. Flash boot.img from anzhi posted on page 2 of cappys thread.
3. Return to recovery and flash Chinese Rom by anzhi. Link posted in anzhi thread by me on page 2 post 18. Once flashed reboot device and follow setup wizard to completion. Once done return to recovery
4. Wipe data/factory reset, dalvik cache and format system in mounts&storage. Flash cappy Rom. You don't need to flash boot.img from within cappy Rom as already done prior to flashing Chinese rom.
5. Once complete reboot device and enjoy
Just as an added note as not to confuse others please see below:
- As a rule you should not need to flash chinese rom but you do need the chinese boot.img. after flashing chinese boot.img you can enter recovery and try flashing cappys rom. if successful then happy days. the above guide is really for those who still get startup fc etc after trying it that way!
**** I have not posted links in this thread as we have provided all info needed and I feel that we have to help ourselves. Froum is quite small so info is readily available with a small search ****

This is just meant as a guide for the very minute few who get stuck. Process seems long winded but it is only way to get cappys Rom working. Do not skip any of the steps and do as instructed. This is gyaranteed as that is how I flashed cappys rom myself and others too. Please post install problems here but there should not be any if all steps are followed correctly

Weird I didn't had to flash the Chinese ROM in order for it to work just the boot.img and ROM flashed correctly and I'm already enjoying some rcmix tweaks thanks to Capy

What recovery are you using? If using the modaco recovery then it should work that way but if using the earlier Chinese one then you may need to. As I stated in first post this is for the few that can't get it working.

you need to follow steps i posted. this happens sometimes if you try flashing cappy rom straight after install recovery or without flashing chinese boot.img and chinese rom. this thread was started because of these errors. you need to flash the chinese boot.img then the chinese rom. once that is done(setup wizard completed) and phone has started you need to reboot in recovery then flash cappys rom! the steps are there and all info needed is easy to find.
Follow the steps and you cant fail

sorry for this question, but it has been a long time since i have flashed rom on HTC Android, I'm coming from Samsung Galaxy S2
flashing chines boot.img can i just copy it to the internal and and then enter fastboot and then choose bootloader and flash the boot.img file ??
or is with fastboot connected to the pc ???
Get phone into fastboot mode then put boot.img in fastboot folder and type fastboot flash boot boot.img in command prompt, then install Chinese rom, once you've done that you can then install any of the other roms. You will only need to do this once...

Hi
I am new to this forum, however have previously had Samsung devices and never had any issue with CWM. I have a X715b (obtained via Vodafone NZ) which i recently updated to the Stock VNZ ICS ROM. After getting bored with the stock ROM I decided to look at custom ROMs. I want to install Insanely Cool ROM so went about finding the required steps.
After finally finding an updated root tool which would work for the ICS stock ROM I have now rooted and unlocked the bootloader. Here is where I get stuck.
I have HBOOT 1.28.0003 and when I flash the CWM recovery it all seems to flash fine, however after reboot when I try to access recovery I either get stuck on a white HTC screen (CWM Recovery 5.8.3.1) or it seems to keep the screen lit after the HTC screen and then eventually turns off (CWM 5.0.2.7)
Is there another recovery image I can try or do I need to update the bootloader in some other way?
Device: Sensation XL (X715b)
HBOOT-1.28.0003

Any help most appreciated
Amon ra is a different recovery. First time I flashed my old desire it kept getting stuck in a bootloop so I flashed amon ra and then cwm over the top and that solved my problem then..
Worth a look I guess. Hope it helps.

Do you know how to use adb? Try using the "adb reboot recovery" command. If not you can always try reflashing recovery.

Thanks for the reply
Just tried it again (Flash and adb reboot via unix) and much like attempting the install from SD within the clockwork mod app it loads the HTC splash screen and then just appears to turn off but is frozen so I have to remove the battery to reboot it.
I also just tried flashing the chinese boot.img and then it won't boot at all so had to flash cool sense boot.img which then works fine.
I also found a development touch cwm v 5.8.0.9 and that just freezes

If all else fails, flash a stock ruu, that will restore stock recovery, then try flashing a custom one again.
Thanks again, will try flashing a stock ROM. I have tried both (ROM Manager and via Fastboot) and neither has worked.
Will let you know how I go
Unfortunately I have not been able to find a ruu stock Rom for cid vodap022 and modifying the cid in another rom fails at signature check.does anyone know where I can find a Rom for voda nz?
Well its been quite a night of it, I found that it was HBOOT causing the issue with CWM and managed to find a chinese site which had a recovery image for 1.28+
I now am able to load CWM and can flash the Chinese ROM, however when I try to flash the ROMs I am actually interested in (Insanely Cool Sense & Total Senseless) I receive the following error
Error in /sdcard/<ROM NAME>.zip
(Status 1)
Installation Aborted
Can anybody shed any light? I have checked the md5 of both zip files and both appear to be ok

it's about s-off your SXL
then use fastboot flash RUU to degrade it to HBOOT 1.25
but after doing this, you have to change
system\etc\vold.fstab (open with text file)
(the last line)
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 33 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host
change to
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 34 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host

Hey there guys!
This sensation xl belongs to my friend and for some unknown reason it is not starting.
I still can open the boot loader.
How can I flash official rom while the device is in off condition.
I can extract the ROM.ZIP from official RUU but how can I transfer it to mobile and what should i rename it so I can flash it from boot loader.
note : the device is not rooted and boot loader still locked.
thanks
When device is off, hold volume down and power, when in bootloader select fastboot from the list, now connect device to a PC, device should read "fastboot USB". From this mode you are able to flash RUU's.

You should try to mount the sdcard in some way, i had this problem before, i tried the factory reset from bootloader and it corrupted my SDPartition, so i mounted it via Recovery and formated it via PC, this is the only way to get it done, so, in order to save something while you can, try to flash the Recovery again, try to mount the sd card and flash a custom ROM....
If you can manage to save it, remember to S-OFF your phone, so next time you will not experience this kind of things. Hope this helps.
You can format yor card on recovry. Faster and easier way. For 1.28 with mount usb working look on unlimited page

Hello everyone,
I want to root my phone but can't use PC for a week. So, I want to know is there any way to flash recovery (then I will be able to root) or root without PC (temp root or smth). I've tried z4root for temp root and flash recovery through terminal but z4root doesn't work for me. Stock recovery sends errors and reboot on any option except "wipe cache"

But there is 1 more way. It's through terminal but only with root permissions, and to get root I need to have recovery... And is there any way to fix my stock recovery?
I've tried to instal recovery through bootloader (PI39IMG.zip with recovery.img inside) but it did't start... In FARDJADB's S-OFF thread he showed on video that he flashed rom through he's bootloader, how can I flash recovery through bootloader on unlimited's S-OFF HBOOT?

I know all about rooting and flashing recovery. There's another way to flash recovery: place zip (pi39img.zip) in root of sdcard. This zip must contain recovery.img inside itself. But it doesn't work for me, maybe wrong zip name...

You can't flash a custom recovery from fastboot without an unlocked bootloader. It's just going to fail the sig check. Yes you can flash recovery from a teminal emulator too, but for that you will need to find a way to root your device without a PC first.

But I have unlocked S-OFF bootloader and I have stock ROM with another CID, so, I won't get sig check error... But also I can't use fastboot coz I have no PC.
