Here is what I did
Started with 2.2 rooted S-OFF
1. Applied stock recovery
2. Took OTA
3. Booted into 2.3
4. Flashed clockwork
6. Flashed superuser
7. Stuck in boot loop
The only thing I can think messed it up is the superuser app I flashed. It says it is for 2.2 I though it would work. I am going to flash a Rooted 2.3 ROM.
Is their an updated 2.3 gingerbread compatible superuser app that I can flash onto a stock rom????

Just flash a rooted Rom. It will already have the SU app. No need to flash it. I suggest against taking OTA in the future though. Just flash a rooted version of it and save a bunch of risks.

Hello to all,
just wanted to point out something interesting about the combination of unrevoked3 and ota update.
First of all I have a factory unlocked desire, in greece and had used unrevoked3 to gain root and install pdanet so i could have bluetooth tethering.. i had not installed any roms just unrevoked.
tried to install the ota update but it failed in clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.1 (this was installed with latest unrevoked).
i donwloaded the ota.zip from the link posted here in xda, renamed it to update.zip and put it in root of sdcard. then rebooted from clockworkmod recovery and applied sdcard:update.zip.
now i have froyo normally, version 2.2. the phone is still rooted (superuser permissions still exist in my phone and can run overclock widget) but !! clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.1 is gone .. if i try to reboot into recovery i get the red triangle.
just my $0.02, found this weird and thought to share
sorry, already get the links, thx.
Hold on, you mean that we can have Froyo + ROOT ?
Not getting back the Root is what prevents me from updating.
Can someone please confirm that Froyo can be rooted, please?
i did the exact thing i described, and now can run superuser permissions.. but no clockworkmod recovery
edit -- i can also run rom manager but it says i don't have clockworkmod recovery installed.
ok, so strange things continue..
i can confirm that i still have superuser permissions installed in my phone but it doesn't work..
it doesn't give permissions to other apps as it used to .. and i cannot boot into recovery.

So I guess it's not rooted after all...
seems so.. and there is no way to remove superuser permissions from the phone.
another strange thing! i can install rom manager fine .. even though i shouldn't be able to if i am not rooted .. strange strange strange
My experience with Unrevoked and Froyo OTA:
My phone is a Telstra branded. I got root with latest Unrevoked method, after that I made a Goldcard and runned the RUU for Stock ROM 1.21 WWE. Then downloaded the Froyo OTA direct from the phone and using the Goldcard installed it. So far no problems found. Got HDPA network, GPS fix, WiFi, Bluetooth, thetering, etc everything is working just fine.
My two cents.

Hi,
I am Currently running a Evo with software version 1.39.00.05.31 I didn't take the 1.47 update. I rooted/iinstall custom recovery using Unrevoked3. I want to take the OTA 1.47 so I can then apply Unrevoked 4 ever and then upgrade to 2.2 and maintain root. I downloaded the 1.47 update and created a pc36img.zip file (Used it on another evo) However when I try to flash it, it doesn't work and say something about wrong version. Wondering if anyone has the recovery.img and android.txt from 1.39.00.05.31.
Also if I can't get recovery back can I use Clockwork to apply the update that was downloaded? I would rather not restore to stock and restore all my apps and such.
Thanks

Update the radio via recovery then install unrevokedforever. Or just install unrevokedforever lol
You know your on the very first release of software for the phone right? We are all on 2.2 froyo right now where have you been? I liked 2.1 myself but the fixes alone are worth the updates

Well I'm not sure why you would want to do it that way but if your already rooted using unrevoked 3 (Not Full Root)
Then you can simply Download and apply Rooted 2.1 1.47.651.1 Rom to it or even the 2.2 3.26.651.6 (Most Recent)
But if I was you I'd use Titanium Backup to keep all your data so incase you can't use any recovery in the process at least you can restore it to any Rooted Rom or unrooted.
But to make this much simpler you need to use SimpleRoot that has Nand Unlock Option, also called 3 step Root.
This is in regards to your issue with Main Version Older Error when you tried using (PC36IMG) in bootloader.
If your gonna use SimpleRoot Make sure you have all the files included in your SD Card Otherwise PC36IMG by it self won't work.
Hope this Helps

So I now have Clockwork Recovery 3.x and running cm7. I tried straight flashing the latest T-Mobile ROM (1.22?).
It fails right away. I am not really wanting to unroot or turn S-ON. Is it failing because I am using cwr 3.x and need to flash the 2.x recovery? I thought I read somewhere that to flash a Froyo rom 2.x is needed, and 3.x is only for the GB roms...
Also, if and when I do successfully flash the stock rom, will this remove root/s-ff or the other unlocks gfree performed? And the linked thread for flashing the OTA rom instructs to rename to update.zip... is that only for the non-rooted folks?
And lastly, since the clockwork recovery 2.x has been out there for a while, thread info is quite old. Can i simply reflash the 2.x recovery using ROM Manager?
Thanks in advance.
The 1.22 is just an update zip it is not a complete PC10IMG stock rom that is why it is failing, make sure you have s-off via gfree before flashing a stock PC10IMG other wise it will turn your s-on, there is only a 1.19 complete PC10IMG rom out right now, this is pre OTA.
Yes you should be able to use rom manager to reflash older CWM recovery

Ill try to help a fellow tampa area guy out
the stock rom your trying to flash isnt going to work with CWM 3.XX your need to replace it with 2.XX. flashing a stock rom will not remove root or s-off.
when i go back and forth using CWM from 3.xx to 2.xx i follow these directions... there super easy... and i have never had a problem with it.
1. Install clockworkmod from market.
2. Flash Clockworkmod recovery from Rom Manager.
3. Navigate to clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries (or where ever your recovery was downloaded to. This can be done in File Manager, Astro, or Androzip.
4. Mine was "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-vision.img". Rename it to "recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-visionXXX.img" or something obviously different.
5. Download clockworkmod 3.0 from hereish:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893933
6. Move your recovery.img to clockworkmod/download/koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries and name it recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-vision.img
7. Go into ROM Manager and Flash Clockworkmod recovery, it will say its still 2.5.1.3 when your done. Reboot into recovery and you'll be welcomed by a new orange 3.0

of course you can just reverse these directions to go back to 2.xx...
you shouldnt have to change the stock rom name to "update.zip" just flash the zip like you would any other rom through CWM...
Thanks WarBird! I think I'll just flash the recovery images using flash_image. Can you confirm what joemn said though? If I want to flash the stock ROM, do I need both the PC whatever and the ota?
Also
make sure you have s-off via gfree before flashing a stock PC10IMG other wise it will turn your s-on
Click to expand...

This doesn't make sense. Based on this, you're saying that if I have s-on, flashing pc10img will... turn s-on...?

You are misunderstanding me, what I am saying is if you rooted via the old method and don't have radio s-off via gfree flashing a stock PC10IMG will turn your s back on, and what I told you about the 1.22 update zip is correct.

Ah I see. Since I was late to the G2 game, I did use gfree to get s-off as mentioned in my op. Thanks!
Hey XDA-Dudes,
I just got my Desire HDand I wanted to put a custom ROM on it because the stock ROM is pretty crappy.
Now I saw in the recovery that this Phone is alread S-Off and the lazy noob I am I don't want to downgrad and root my phone just to install clockwork recovery (I'm on 2.2.1 Build 1,75,xxxxxx).
So can I use my stock recovery to flash a third party ROM?
And how do I do it?
Edit: I want to flash to CM7 if it's important.
gingerbreak is able to perm root your build. (install it from your sd card, and then run it)
it may error out and say something went wrong, its ok, reboot the device, and you're now probably rooted.
download rom manager from market and if the perm. root succeeded then use it to flash cwm recovery.
Did it but after the reboot I get stuck on this screen...
abload.de/img/img_0165xe4s.jpg
Edit: Pretty sure I'm S-Off:

you have radio S-Off, not ENG S-Off.
where it says "SHIP" it should say "ENG" instead.
Only then will you be able to flash cwm recovery.
Right now all you can do is flash different stock roms using the RUU via the pc, or PD98IMG off the sd.
Okay thanks,
I'll guess I'll go 1.32 and root afterwards to install crm.
I unrooted my evo 4g a week ago because I was going to turn it in to the Sprint store but I turned out keeping my phone. Now I'm trying to root it again and install custom recovery.
I am running the Sprint Stock ROM 2.3.5 but I still have S-OFF when I load into bootloader. I also have HBOOT version 6.16.002
Is there any way I can install a recovery program such as clockwork, etc. with this S off permission?
thanks

Yes as long as you have S-Off you are rooted,you will be able to install a new recovery.
You're S-OFF (rooted), so you should simply be able to download ROM Manager and Flash CWM. Have fun

Don't use rom manager,theres too many things that could go wrong,i've had restore problems with rom manager,its better to install a recovery manually.
I don't have superuser anymore though since I'm on the stock rom so I can't use Rom manager to flash the recovery.

Find the recovery of your choosing in zip form, name it PC36IMG, put it on the root of your SD and boot into bootloader.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Which one do you recommend? I've always used clockwork but I was wondering if there was a better one?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
use "AmonRa Recovery v3.11-gnm" for recovery, it's the best.
http://www.mediafire.com/?w2ycdp38dqfg9
put on sdcard, rename to "PC36IMG.zip", boot into bootloader, say yes to install.
after you have amonRa recovery, goto "Recovery", install from zip "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed" to root device.

S-off is not "rooted" s-off is just security off meaning you can install unsigned unofficial software in the bootloader, s-on is security enabled requiring an officially signed HTC soft/firmware to be able to flash. Superuser(SU) and busybox are required to obtain root privileges
Edit: you can get superuser by downloading and installing it from the market and busybox installer which will regain root privileges, you can the use flash image to install a recovery .img or use rom manager(not my recommended method) or prior to installing SU and busybox you can flash recovery thru bootloader as a PC36IMG.zip or a recovery.img using fastboot

I'd recommend downloading busybox installer from the market and su as well, and flashing a recovery VIA PC36IMG; I think fastboot may be a bit too much for the user right now.
I was just giving all options available for regaining custom recovery and full root from s-off *shrugs*
Edit: flashing PC36IMG is my preferred method cuz its quick and easy BTW I recommend Amon RA style supersonic recovery v3.11 since it has full capacitive function home = up menu = down back = back search = select no more raping your hardware buttons
