Try to flash recovery again with rom manager.

rom manager can't flash recovery. Use unrevoked to flash a permanent recovery.

Update thru ROM Manager
I have Rom manager installed but I don't know how to update with it. If I boot into recovery using Rom manager I get the latest clockwork, but if I reboot the phone holding down the volume down then I get the old clockwork.
How do I update to get the same version no matter how I access clockwork.
Cheers

When you use rom manager you are using the fake-flash method.
To update it permanently you need to use unrevoked, or fastboot if you have s-off.

Okay trying to install rom, and temporary cwm would not work! (Installation failed) tried downgrading cwm to 2.5 and ****ed it up!!!! Have tried many things and searched. Will I have to flash ruu and start from scratch or anyone else got any ideas.
Btw stuck at HTC screen when booting recovery

Try flashing another recovery, you can find recovery images in the reference guide in development section.
P.S. I guess you were trying to flash a sense rom, in that case you can go to rom manager and scroll all the way down to "All cwm recoveries" And select a 2.x one and flash it, then you can flash a sense rom with the temporary recovery
The way I broke it was by flashing another recovery! Via fastboot USB.. Which showed as it worked ... I have tried the image way, no luck.. have also tried rom manager to flash both old and new recoveries, yet again successfully but recovery still goes no further than HTC screen ... ;( it was a sense rom! Worst thing is I'm stuck with the sense 3.5 that doesn't even frigging work! Eeeeek

Really sorry to hear about your problem,this is why its almost always stated to do a NANDROID before attempting anything.
Look up flashing recovery with terminal emulator and try that way.cheers.

What is the easyest way to root the Desire?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Probably Unrevoked method
I tried it, but it said that the firmware was to new.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
revolutionary
Sent from my HTC Desire
i may be wrong but i think that revolutionary is the only way then
revolutionary technically performs s-off, root is achieved afterwards
read the documentation first
then follow this
What can i add?
S-OFF & flashing custom recovery is a very handy thing.
If you break something you are able to repair your system through recovery, but even if this fails you still got access to fastboot. It's really worth to do. I dont regret i've done it and this helped me a lot many times already.
Thanks guys. I will try this out.

lol u think? did u flash superuser? to check if ur s-off boot into bootloader - hold volume down and hold power and it should say s-off (hopefully). put superuser zip file on ur sdcard and boot into recovery and install zip from sdcard and then ul done
Sent from my HTC Desire
No my bad. I could not get into mount sdcard to flash it in cwm. Don't know why. Is there a secret to get there?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
turn off ur phone then hold volume down + power and say what the bootloader says
Sent from my HTC Desire
I followed the instructions and got into cwm recovery by holding volume down and pushing power button and choose recovery. But when I tried to choose mount and format, it didn't respond. I pushed the power button to confirm but nothing happened. What am I doing wrong?

yes, you need the superuser.zip on your sd card in order to flash it...
that guide overcomplicates it a little bit imo. you can just copy the superuser.zip onto the sd card using a card reader, before you put it in the phone.
then when you boot into recovery, go straight to 'install zip from sd card', find superuser.zip and flash it. push the trackball to select within the menus
and then u r rooted

well, I rooted my HTC wildfire last week and flashed cyanogenmod 7.1 using the guidelines from cyanogenmode wiki using revolutionary. but now I want to go the stock ROM and want my device unrooted and I don't want the revolutionary bootloader or clockwork recovery. I want my phone to be good as new. how can I do that? and I don't know if this is important but I had s-off even before I used revolutionary and my android version was something like 2.2.1.405.7 and i have a backup soon after using revolutionary ,before rooting and before
flashing cm 7. and can I use the backup to go back to stock ROM and if I can do I need to clear all data and cache just like I did before flashing cm7? and thanks in advance.

Good luck
I did that but...
thanks for the info. I followed the instructions ran the Ruu and updated hboot. but now whenever I boot to the bootloader it searches for some file and shows something like PC49DIAG not found and when I try recovery it shows a picture of a phone with a red triangle.nothing happens. what can I do about the missing file and stock recovery?
There is no missing file, the diag is something you place on your SD to open a menu, its not needed unless you are using an xtc clip I think.
The recovery has been reset back to stock recovery if you press volume up and power on that red triangle screen, I think that's the combination to take you into stock recovery.

Thanks . I opened recovery menu. But it showed at the bottom "E: Can't open/cache/recovery/command". Is it something I should be worried about?

The file might be corrupt.Download the RUU(http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz) and try again.
If that doesn't work.Extract the recovery(recovery.img)from RUU.
If that doesn't work either,try it through ADB.
Good luck :good:
Thanks but I only wanted to know if it will pose any problem

yh 4ext recovery is the best recovery around, theres way more features, great for partitioning sdcard, usb unbrick option...loads more. give it a try, well worth it
Sent from my HTC Desire
just making sure, you need to be s-off to change recovery, revolutionary is the easiest method.
and yes, despite the fact we don't expect to be using it THAT much, it's a good recovery...
Flashing recovery is a scary moment for me. I need other experience user to give advice huge benefit for upgrading recovery. I will try it if I have confident to do so.
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app
changing recovery is easy, especially with 4ext. just go to www.4ext.net, download the free app and let it flash recovery.
(the s-off procedure is scarier, but like a lot of things, if you follow all the instructions it's quite easy
we don't know if you're s-off...)
The usb auto detect and fix is the one that made me switch. Saved me the hassle of plugging in to my computer to run some commands just to unbrick it.

Hi, thanks for all your reply. I finally install 4ext recovery. How easy... it downloaded and installed from updater application, not even I entered recovery/fastboot etc.
