Just use ROM Manager It will install recovery without adb or a computer. Just do it through an Android app.
But if you want to use AmonRA, you can follow any of the above links. You'll need the Android adb tool and drivers I believe (if you are running on Windows or Linux). On Mac, all you need is adb.

So basically... I have a unrooted, unhacked etc. Desire.. I want to test some of the new 2.2 roms..
Can I, without my phone being rooted, use "rom manager" from the market and flash a custom recovery, from where I can flash roms, radios etc.? Or do I have to something before I can utilize the power of "rom manager"?.... What about the new "fake-flash" released a couple of days ago?
Excuse me, but i'm coming from an HTC Hero where the only thing you did, was using flashrec...
I'm a little confused with all the guides around here.. Some say you have to use a PC/mac (I have a mac) to "root" the desire... Others say that there is a simpler way... I'm looking for the safest and simplest ... I like when procedures are convenient

To root it you'll need a pc/mac running linux, windows or whatever macs run. Afterwards there are workarounds that makes flashing ROMs relatively simple, without having to initiate recovery form a computer first. So step one: follow the root guide in the stickied thread.

Adblock and djdroid

Hello to all,
The new version of djdroid is wonderful but....any way to insert an adblock?

Yeah doesn't work on desire.Try searching for the update hosts file on hee. It's posted in many of the ROM threads - does the same thing - you flash the zip from recovery and Robert is your Mum's brother

Can you give me a link?

I'm not on my home pc to upload the file. Its called "ad blocking host file" which you flash in recovery. I posting the file in the official sense froyo rom thread, but can't remember what post it is. Do a search for it.

Try it manually.
Extract the host file, type "mount /system" in the recovery adb shell and if that works, push it to /system/etc/hosts.

Any way to push files directly from phone and without using adb?

Sorry, resolved this now. Please re-download

Thanks!!!
Now works very well.
A question now: is now possible or necessary to update the file via adfree o will I attend for a new version from you?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

Up to you. AFAIK Adfree just uses the MVPS hosts file, I personally use that and Peter Lowe's list that blocks more adtracking sites etc.

Sorry, I don't understand :-(
I have android from 3months and don't know all
Thanks again for your help

[RECOVERY] Nexus S 4G CDMA recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2 [01-31-12]

Koushik Dutta's Clockwork Recovery:
Attention: Some people experience problems when flashing through Rom Manager. Flashing again usually fixes the issue. Use method below for best results. If on pure stock, your recovery will be overwritten unless you delete your /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.
To flash recovery for Nexus S 4G, download recovery 5.0.2.0 or recovery touch 5.8.0.2 and place it into your sdk tools folder. Reboot into bootloader and execute:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo4g.img
or if you prefer the touch version:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo4g.img
If you'd like simpler and more organized menus see j_r0dd's mod.
rev 5.0.1.0 Fix android_ secure backup bug.
rev 5.0.2.0 Fix root loss. Correct message when choosing "no" when wiping dalvik.

I had some issues doing it through rom manager. It was a no go so I flashed through bootloader.
I haven't checked if old backups are compatible yet. Anyone care to try and post?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

Every time I click on the update from inside ROM Manager, something terrible happens. I used think it was because I clicked on the link for the other Nexus S, but I was super duper careful this time.
If I try to reboot into recovery without being attached to my PC after flashing a new recovery in ROM Manager, I get stuck in fastboot. If I tell it to please boot me into recovery so can add a shiny new object to my Android, it tells me, "No ma'am." And, if im being honest, when I can't flash exciting new thingys on the go, existence begins to seem somewhat more futile. I'm sure you understand.
Might as well ask if there's a way I can fix it before I get home (in TEN HOURS) by fastbooting from a terminal or something. Okay, I'm begging.
p.s. I feel like I didn't get invited to most of Version 3 and all of Version 4.

I had the same issue after using rom manager to flash 5. I just rebooted and tried flashing again from rom manager and it worked the second time

Read the op. There is a reason why I gave instructions to flash through fastboot and not rom manager.

I can confirm they do work.

Trying to upgrade from 4.0.0.2 to 5.0.0.0, I keep getting stuck on "Waiting for device"..

If on windows...your driver is bad.
Try flash_image gui by Joeykrim

Well here is the thing, I can push/pull things from the device, I can adb shell to the device.. Everytime I try flash the recovery, I get the waiting for device

Well if on Windows, fastboot driver needs to be there along with adb.driver. Two different things

Didnt work through rom manager, had to do it via fastboot. I dig the new color!

so rom manager updated my cwm to this one and when i go to reboot into recovery it goes into bootloader and which i chose recovery nothing happens .... first line says FASTBOOT - NO RECOVERY OR BOOT IMG

For anybody having flashing/ pushing/ just getting the new cwm recovery use the flash_image by GUI app located in the ns4g app section. I can't stress it enough, but it your trying to computer up to speed for Android development I understand.

I updated through ROM Manager and it worked just fine. I believe as long as you are running the latest version of ROM Manager you shouldn't have any issues.

att fusion 2 / u8665

Hello so I am new to these forums but have used them in the past for assistance. I have been trying to root a att fusion 2 aka u8665 ive seen a couple posts on here about how to and someone said they were successful but vauge steps cause frustration.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920528
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976657
As i said i have been trying for a while and basically tried everything listed in those two posts, also the post where they said they managed to attain root through fastboot confused me. From what i understood fastboot needs root to be able to operate, otherwise the steps in the post about using adb i just keep running into permission issues where i cant mount anything to root it.

I had trouble myself, but figured it out. I recompiled all the files posted by RFE.

If anyone else would like to contribute please do. I've had 5 attempts at registering this type of device without triggering a call-home. I've swapped out 90% of all the components that brand the phone AT&T (including huawei-hardware-extensions & mobile phone "care"??). When using Titanium Backup you will notice that some of the specially protected APK files cannot be removed or "found" - you will get the message "APK file not found." The only way to get around this is to use fastboot and pull the file from the device before removing it. If you remove the wrong system APK your phone won't be bricked, but it will give you infinite android.acore force close loops and other nasty crippling bugs (such as no touch-keys backlight). If you want to be sure that you are not doing any damage, do a full reboot and cache clear after uninstalling any of the AT&T prepaid system components. Many of the system components can not be removed or replaced with other versions until their dependencies are replaced or removed as well. Titanium Backup once again comes in handy and lets you select an android ID or "profile" which is a UID that is tied to your Google Play / Android Market account. You will have to create a new random Android ID after you have have replaced all the apps. Make sure you remove any files like Twitter that have been specially made for this phone & include a long unique ID like Twitter-3-6-0-(123456)--00000_V300_001.APK - the phone is incredibly fast without any google or ATT stuff on it.

[Q] "Error: Device not found" in adb.

Hello friends,
I'm trying to install cyanogenmod and no matter what I do I consistently get the device not found error when I try to use "adb push cm-10.2.0-RC1-endeavoru.zip \sdcard\"
I know that in the cyanogenmod install guide it says it's probable that it's a driver issue. I've looked around for a good 2 hours trying to find what it might be, so I've tried reinstalling htc sync, I've tried uninstalling htc sync and using koush's universal adb driver, but nothing seems to work.
When using "adb devices" it doesn't give me the error, it just gives me "List of devices attached" which is empty. (I'm not sure if this is what it is supposed to do though)
Attached img of what I've been doing.
USB debugging is on. It's been automatically turned on whenever I connect it to my PC since I updated to 4.2.2 anyway.
I have no idea where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I'm completely new to this. Do you mean normal recovery from bootloader or a custom recovery that I should of done but completely skipped due to my ignorance? (I also haven't unlocked bootloader so I'm assuming that's a misstep as well?)
Because all I get when I do the normal recovery is a picture of a phone with a red triangle and "!" combo.
Thanks

Yeah to install a custom rom it's mandatory to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. And what i can tell from your post it that you really are a novice on things. Some tips ?
1: never start without a full battery
2: learn fastboot + commands
3: always make a stock rom nandroid backup before starting flashing !
Read up in this forum. Under the stickys there are some nifty guides. If you have questions after that just ask here.

Thanks for the tips!
After a while of toiling to try and unlock the boot loader manually and getting stuck at the load error for Unlock_code.bin, I found Hasoon2000's tool, so he is my god for now.
My query that I have is, Do I need a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod to create a nandroid back up? Because all I get when I try to go into recovery from the bootloader is this (img attached, not mine because I don't have another camera in the house but luckily I managed to find one on google img.)
I can't find anything saying that I do need a custom recovery, but then again it's not working when I try without one, so I'm not too sure where to go from here.
Thanks again

Please read carefully what i write, i know exactly what to do !
You need a custom recovery !

Sorry to be back again so soon but I'm stuck again, haha.
When I try to flash cwm I get "error: cannot load 'recovery.img'". When I try to use Hasoon2000's tool kit to do it for me it doesn't work either as it just says device not found and in the second command window it says that it can't load it's .img file either.
The recovery.img is in the same location as fastboot. My phone is in Fastboot in bootloader.
I'm typing "r:\Android\adt\sdk\platform-tools\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Trying to auto complete recovery.img using tab does nothing (if that might indicate some sort of problem).
The only thing I can think of is that the MTP drivers never install properly but I read on this forum that it shouldn't affect fastboot.

Ok so I still couldn't do it manually on the other computer. Got the same errors as with the first. I tried flashing with Hasoon2000's tool again and noticed that it was trying to flash CWM.img while the recovery for it was actually called recovery.img. Renamed it to CWM.img and it flashed perfectly.
I assume it would of done the same on the original PC I tried it on.
No idea why it wouldn't work when I tried it manually, but yolo. Hasoon2000 is love. Hasoon2000 is life.

Holy hell Hasoon2000 has saved me again.
I flashed the kernal by accident and it got stuck in boot. So i just sideloaded the rom in H2K's tool and everything turned up Milhouse.

Yay congrats

And if it says can not load recovery that means it's named differently or that it's not placed in the same dir of the fastboot files. A common error is that people hide filename extensions in windows. Then rename the recovery to recovery.img.img and then it won't be found by fastboot
