ClockworkMod Recovery without S-OFF

I got a PVT4 Desire rooted S-ON and want to backup my current ROM.
I would like to use ClockworkMod Recovery, but can I flash it on recovery without S-OFF?
And I don't want to flash alpharev and hboot without a recovery. Is there any possibility getting a new working Version on my PVT4?
Thank you!

What recovery do you have now?
What version do you want flash (I mean version of CWM)?

Did you search the forum? Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002930

Now I got the one RomManager downloads and flashes = 2.5.0.7 <-- won't work with PVT4 Desire
I want the best/newest I can get with S-ON. Is 3.2.0.1 the newest for desire?

I think it is.
But the only way to flash it permanently (as S-ON) is the Unrevoked root tool.
Which means, you have to select the recovery (as custom recovery) in Unrevoked and root again.

There is no "best". Take the one that suits your needs and, more importantly, is working. Here's the CWM thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954
And here's the 4EXT thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154221
Take your pick and let unrevoked do the rest.

Well, the last posting in that thread says to use unrevoked with a custom recovery image, but davebugyi's answer is quite as good

Personally I'd just S-OFF your phone, in my opinion that's just the easier way.. that and having the addition of extra options of a. easier to fix your phone of something goes wrong and b. having the option of flashing different SPL/Hboot c. having the option of flashing different radios d. perma-flashing recoveries is easier
S-OFF'ing with revolutionary is a breeze and takes under a minute...

4EXT is some other Recovery, not CwM? I think I'll S-OFF it a after the holidays means net saturday/sunday
Thank you!

Yep, it's not cwm recovery.

Why do you think you need to downgrade your hboot? What benefits do you expect to gain from doing so?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

as rootsu said, theres no benefits
but if you really want to then head over to the alpharev site and download the hboot downgrader, flash that either by fastboot or the pb99img.zip method, then run a froyo ruu

I already tried using the hboot downgrader but it didn't work.
I also tried unrevoked...
Thank you all for your help

what bugs have you found?

you cant do that, but you can go to http://revolutionary.io and flash a custom hboot, then you can decide if you want to:
1) Flash the downgrader.img and run a Froyo RUU to remain stock OR
2) Flash custom recovery (and root or flash custom ROM)
What is the ultimate goal? You want to be rooted and with custom ROM?

Is there a way to S-on again ? or change HBOOT?
I try to downgrade but I still have the S-OFF hboot 6.093.1002.
Thank you

only way to s-on is to flash downgrader.img then run RUU. S-off is good though.

I tried several times but it did not work...
The procedure succeed when the downgrde is down I can read "[2] boot loader = bypassed"... others are OK
I tried also other think... flashing with different RUU Roms, works every time except the boot that didn't change...
Did you succeed overwriting the hboot after s-off on time?
I think I will leave it so

AAHK has already retired. If you take a look at second post (Sticky post) in in this general section, you can see the thread entitled "[How to] ROOT without the Hack Kit".
However, this tools will not provide s-off to you. Only give you privilege to run root and install custom ROM.
You are tech people? Able to reverse-engineered windows files in a few hours? Then this is ADVANCE method to achieve s-off > http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=411

AAHK will not working because the tools is automated to download certain files after it query your phone version info in order to downgrade it accordingly. And these files have already taken down from the server.
Please read the thread carefully in order to understand what the tools is supposed to be doing before run it. :good:

It needs Internet, but more than that, it downloads files from a server that is no longer up. Unlock the bootloader; it's the only easy way right now to get root and recovery, but you won't get S-Off. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500

Wildfire cwm install help

Hello there. after years i recieved a HTC wildfire from a friend. and i thought to root it and install some custom roms.
It is S-off
Hboot version is 1.01.002
and i was able to root it and install superuser.
but the problem is i was not able to install cwm recovery
i tried rom manager method, and also via fastboot usb flash
The install process goes well but i can't enter in to cwm recovery. When i click the recovery option in boot menu it takes me to old recovery screen
Obviously i'm missing something here
Can you guys please help me out??

This is the tool i used to gain S-Off (http://revolutionary.io/) Its a further developed version of unrevoked3 for the HTC Wildfire and AlphaRevX for the HTC Desire. This tool should work pretty similiar to unrevoked (but i don't remember very well) so maybe you should have a look in the unrevoked3 thread, which you can find in the Wildfire Development forum at the top of the page.
Also read the revolutionary guide carefully :http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
And dont forget to install htc fastboot drivers!
I found a very good tutorial for revolutionary and the HTC Wildfire

No, you can't. It's too big for the format of the internal storage. It can't handle the file.

No, you can't. It's too big for the format of the internal storage. It can't handle the file.
And the rooting guide you linked earlier in this thread is outdated. Using the files from that guide will lead to a bootloop.

Thanks for the reply.
He doesn't want to root, just to restore the os.
So, if he uses the twrp backup in your thread on an SD card, he will have his os back (it's not one of the corrupt ones).

Even if the OP doesn't want to root there might be other users who read this thread and see the link. If they follow the guide they will end up with a bootloop. That's why I stated/warned that the guide is outdated.
Either he uses the backup or a RUU. There are more than enough RUUs he could use since his firmware is quite old.
None of the backups is corrupt. And all broken RUUs that I know of aren't linked in my thread.
