Hi! all. is bootloader & ROM version still an issue before rooting? i read online i have to check my bootloader & ROM version to ensure that the desire can be rooted. is this true or any bootloader & rom can be rooted.
At the moment bootloader version 0.80.xxxx or below and a current ROM of 1.21.xxx.x or below can be rooted (which are both the newest versions), for 0.75.xxxx and below are just some different files needed, see the sticky [tut] rooting thread in the desire dev section for more information.
Greetings,

About CWM recovery,it can only be done from Fastboot ATM.
I got a droid 2 & unlocked the bootloader from HTCDEV..Problem is whenever i flash a recovery,it won't boot..I tries,many recoveries & many time..Still have the same problem..Do i need to downgrade the phone or something?
HBoot 2.00.0000
Radio 0-3822.11.08.29_M
Android Software version - 2.3.5
I got a M8 currently installed is stock 5.0.1 - 4.16.401.13 / Bootloader unlocked with HTC Dev / S-ON / HBOOT-3.19.0.0000 (using custom Kernel and Xposed)
I would like to update to WWE_6.12.1540.4 using this downloaded RUU here http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
to have newest firmware, use the ROM or use a custom ROM based on the Android M builds with ahving the new firmware.
Can I flash this Unlocked/Developer ROM WWE_6.12.1540.4 (and flash TWRP again) or would I have to wait for the official RUU, relock my BL and flash and then unlock the BL again?
Thanks to HTC for making things so complicated btw.
All this HBOOT CID S-ON S-OFF Firmware BL - Chaos... meh.

No need for ruu, you can restore stock nand and recovery for your cid/mid and get 6.0 MM OTA update from H E R E
And what about firmware (Radio)? I thought flashing or upgrading the firmware is only possible with locked bootloader or unlocked + S-OFF.

Radio is in firmware.zip(which is part of all bigger ota's) along with other stuff(adsp,wcnss,recovery etc).. I've never relocked my bootloader(I have S-on). For ota's, you need non-rooted stock rom or nandroid and stock recovery. For RUU on the other side, if you have S-on, you'll need to relock your bootloader.
Done all the steps and downloading the OTA via device as I am typing.
Thank you very much for your input, Sir.
360 with latest android and latest bootloader.
