Here are noob instructions for other noobs like me.
1) Per the 1st Post
Download driver.
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe 2.
Put phone in full boot, usb debugging on , charge only. 3. Uninstall HTC Sync if installed.
Also download AMON RA recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=705026#
you need the PC36IMG.ZIP and put it on the card as is, we will use this later.
2) download evolution
http://revolutionary.io/
3) After installing the htc driver, run the revolutionary.exe
4) code is displayed on the screen. Put that code in http://revolutionary.io/ and it will give you the code for the revolutionary.exe.
Let it do it's thing... a few minutes.
If this part fails - try again. It worked the 2nd time I ran it.
5) when it's done it will ask you to you want to install clockwork recovery. From other post, don't. We will Install the AMON RA. When you're in hboot it will ask you if you want to update, YES. So it installs AMON RA.
6) if you goto recovery this is the AMON RA. Make a nandroid backup so you can recover any changes made after this point.
7) Install superuser by flashing the zip.
http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2....fgh-signed.zip
Also install busybox from marketplace - must launch it then install it again.
8) Then find a nice rom. Put the downloaded roms in the sd card and install from the Recovery. You should NANDRIOD backup then WIPE everything (before installing new rom).
My instructions maybe slightly off... i'm running it back through my head to remember!

If you have Unrevoked 3 installed:
1. Download stock Evo Recovery image (Can't find it anywhere... EVO Stock Recovery? - xda-developers)
2. Place the file in root of SD card and reboot into HBOOT (volume down/power button)
3. Do the update that HBOOT asks (vol. up for YES)
4. Reboot
5. Once rebooted, download OTA and install (should work now)
6. Once install finishes successfully you can reinstall a custom recovery using the same method (a list of them are here: public:forever [RootWiki])
7. Once you have a custom recovery back, you will need to reinstall Superuser as an update.zip through recovery ([APP] Superuser 2.3.6.1 - Now on the Market [2010-09-05] - xda-developers)
8. Reboot and enjoy!
Well I followed the instructions and the update went through... HOWEVER I have now lost root.... Help please.
EDIT: S-OFF does appear when I boot into the bootloader...
If you have S-Off, than you have not lost root.
YOu probably just lost your recovery, and you need to reflash it.
This tutorial from tws101 worked for me (I can't post a link as a new user):
"This guide will allow you to install the new OTA 3.29.651.5 when you have clockwork installed and will guide you into re-rooting the phone afterwards. (This does NOT wipe your data)
I am sorry if someone already posted this.
Requirements
1. Froyo 2.2 version 3.26.651.6 (Stock)
2. Clockwork
3. S-OFF
Files to Download (If you have a file manager on your phone you can just direct download them with the EVOs browser)
1. OTA_Supersonic_3.29.651.5 This is the new OTA update
2. ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G Clockwork (I know you already have it. This is to reinstall it)
3. su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip Superuser (This is also to reinstall)
Step one
Place OTA_Supersonic_3.29.651.5 on your SD cards root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. Once the bootloader is up goto recovery so clockwork loads up. Choose apply zip from sd card. Choose select zip on sd card. You will see the OTA file on the list flash it. Just wait for it to install it will reboot the phone show a progress bar reboot again they show a percentage etc it takes a few minutes.
Now you have the update installed, but the update removed clockwork and root.
Step two
Place ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G on your sd card root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. The bootloader will scan the new will and ask you to press Volume up to install. Install it.
Now you have clockwork installed again. Please remove the clockwork file from the root of your SD card before going to step 3.
Step Three
Place su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip on the SD cards root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. Once the bootloader is up goto recovery so clockwork loads up. Choose apply zip from sd card. Choose select zip on sd card. You will see the SU file on the list flash it.
Now you are updated and rerooted. (I have been told it is possible to just rerun unrevoked instead of doing step 2 and 3. I did not test that method. I am simply showing a different method.)
Update
I am now getting 53 FPS with FPS 2D"
Thanks tws101

You dont take updates once you are rooted, just flash a rooted ROM
First of all - Once you have rooted your phone - NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER do an OTA update from sprint............
Not sure what your software version is or your hBoot, but if you have 2.02 hboot and 3.30 software, then you can do it the way I did...
having said that - You have not lost root, S-Off = Root, you just lost your recovery... all you need to do is flash a new custom recovery. I use Amon_Ra, but clockwork will work as well... what ever your preferance is...
I cant find the amon_ra that I used, so here is the new CW (attachment 1) - download it - rename it to just (all CAPS except extention!!) "PC36IMG.zip" - Then save it to the root of your SD card. Also save attachment 2 to the root of your SD card.
Boot into hBoot, it will scan the SD card for the PC36IMG.zip - when it asks to do update - click yes... After update completes it will ask to reboot - click NO, then scroll down to flash the superuser app (2nd attachment), I forget what exactly it says but its some thing like "flash from SDcard" or some thing like that...
after you flash the SU.apk, then reboot and if all is good - download ROM manger and flash the Amon_Ra recovery (3rd attachment) and make a NAND backup with Amon_Ra first - cause I'll be honest - I used the CWmod first and I had a bunch of Force Close issues after I did a NAND backup with CW...
Good luck!
I successfully did this from scratch yesterday so thought i would help the noobs out by giving a small guide to the process from start to finish.
No gold card required.
I used Windows 7.
1. Install HTC Sync 3.0 to get the correct HTC USB drivers http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=982&news_id=776
installed on Windows. I didn't do this to start with, and was wondering what i had missed.
2. Uninstall HTC Sync but leave the drivers (they won't uninstall if you uninstall the main HTC Sync program).
3. Download Unrevoked 3.21 from http://unrevoked.com/recovery/
4. Optionally download Amon-ra Recovery for Desire http://code.google.com/p/amonra-mod/ and CM6 nightly (which i am using and is very stable) and the Gapps package from http://cyanogenmod.com/nightly (HDPI version is the one you need for Desire) and copy the 3 files to the microsd card. You can also change recovery later on if you wish, so don't feel pressured to do this now.
5. Run Unrevoked now while the phone is not connected, so you can change the recovery from Clockwork to Amon-ra if you choose.
6. Connect HTC Desire using the USB cable. Unrevoked will automatically detect the phone if the HTC USB drivers were installed correctly.
7. Unrevoked will now do the necessary flashing of the recovery and if all went well, you should be in root mode.
(optional) 8. Hold down the Volume down + Power buttons to boot into Amon Ra recovery. Wipe data and cache, then wipe dalvik cache, then flash the cm-bravo zip you should have. then flash the gapps.
OK I think the most fair thing to do here is to delete all the flaming, and just leave the guide.
The OP took the time to post his guide which may be helpful to some people. I realise there is already a similar guide to this, and that asking for donations in the post was probably not the best thing to do. This has been rectified by the OP.
I'll move it to General and hopefully this will be the end of this. I'll leave a 1 day redirect in the Develpment forum so those involved can see the action taken.
If you have any issues with this then please PM me and let me know.
Thanks.
Hi all,
technically, this is a question concerning unrEVOked version to use. In Turkeys' ULTIMATE Guide to Rooting v42.1.1 everything is nicely described. However;
My concern is, there, entire procedure is described with unrEVOked 3.21 (provided in links inside post). Can I use unrEVOked 3.32 from HERE? Or should I use explicitly 3.21 version?
Thanks in advance,
jukyO
Depends on your phone. For some people 3.21 does the job, and have issues with the latest one. If you have PVT4, then you should go with the latest, if 1/3 Then go with 3.21.
Also if you have PVT4, then AmonRA is recommended over CWM.

Thanks for answering quickly.
My phone is PVT4 with erasesize 20000.
If I understood correctly, unrEVOked comes with CWM recovery built-in, or? How to "load" AmonRa, if CWM is inside unrEVOked?
Download this:
http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img
Start unrEVOked but before connecting your phone go to File and choose 'Custom Recovery' and select the file you just downloaded. Then continue as normal and it'll use AmonRA instead of CWM (which yes, comes with unrEVOked)

If I understood correctly:
0. put "recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img" to root of SD card
1. reflash and root with unrEVOked
2. boot the phone with vol - --> Choose "Custom Recovery"-->select "recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img"
3. after step 2., it is possible to backup and restore with AmonRa, correct?
Is it OK like that or did I missed some step(s)?
Thanks for helping,
-jukyO
No...
1. Start unrEVOked
2. Choose custom Recovery and select the AmonRA file
3. Connect phone and let it run
That's it. Nothing on the SD card

Great! So this one covers my question. Thanks everyone for helping out!
However, one more thing to clarify concerning this image:
in Root Guide - Pt. 3 - Flashing Your First ROM it says:
3) Use the TRACKBALL to scroll down to where it says Backup or Nandroid or Backup / Restore. Then select Backup and wait for it to finish.
Now we need to wipe your phone. Whenever you flash a different ROM you should Always do this, when you are updating the ROM you should check on the release thread for information.
4) If you are not on the Main Menu in recovery, hit back a couple of times to get there. Then, use the TRACKBALL to navigate down to 'Wipe Data / Factory Reset' and accept the scary warning to wipe your phone.
Now we can flash the ROM! Ensure you have downloaded a ROM and it is on the root (Not in any folders) of your SD card. The flashing process may take a few minutes.
5) From the Main Menu, scroll down to and select Install zip from SD Card and then select Choose zip from SD Card then select where you put your ROM and wait for it to complete. Then, select Reboot System Now to reboot into your shiny new ROM!

Since this is written for original unrEVOked with CWM inside, is the procedure same (or similar) for phones having AmonRa recovery instead CWM? Any instructions available?
EDIT: got it. Its pretty plain simple from AmonRa Recovery.

I rooted my wildfire HBoots 1.01.0001 using AlpharevX from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318. After that to install a custom rom, i followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396 Pt 3- flashin your first rom..but couldnt go beyond the first step because after clicking on the problem button there was no option to download busybox.
Also, after starting the titanium backup, it showed that root access has failed. what am i supposed to do now? please help..
You have to flash Superuser. Sorry, I missed listing it in my tutorial thread.
- Download this file and place on your SD Card: http://bit.ly/su2361ef
- Then, reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery (Point 2 in the "Flashing your first ROM Post")
- Flash the file you just placed on your SD Card from within Clockworkmod Recovery (Point 5 in the "Flashing your first ROM post")
Then, reboot your system, check whether your app drawer has a "Superuser" Icon in it or not. If it does, the root process is complete, and you can now use Titanium backup without problems, and start following the ROM flashing process again.
Can some one suggest me where download and how installa the stock rom for wildfire.
Now I use a cynogen 7 and i want go back to original froyo + sense
There are 3 primary ways to do that:
1) If you had taken a Nandroid Backup before installing CM7, Just restore that. (But I am assuming you didn't, hence you are asking this)
2) If you want to retain root and Clockworkmod Recovery, just flash this ROM. Its Stock Froyo + Sense:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
The process to install that is as follows:
- Download this attachment and place on your SDCard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Flash in Clockworkmod 3.x or higher. This will give you temporary Clockworkmod 2.5 (Green Text)
- Then, perform a Data Wipe, and install the ROM Zip file as normal.
3) If you dont want to retain root and Clockworkmod
- Download the Froyo RUU from Shipped ROMs (Froyo WWE 2.22.405.1 EXE) from Shipped ROMs:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
- Connect Wildfire to the PC, and simply run it.
Hi, I'm back

I can't understand what you mean by your first question at all. Clockworkmod Recovery flashed via ROM Manager is temporary. Your original Clockworkmod will remain untouched. So if you are using the option called Flash Clockworkmod Recovery in ROM Manager, then the next step is to select Reboot into Recovery from the ROM Manager App again, then flash the ROM File. In this case, you can discard the update1.zip file, as it has no significance.
As for your second question, mirrors of the EXE RUU can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275680
My first question is simple
on my phone i have rom manager and there is a row named "Flask clockwork mod recovery"
but
i don't know how go back from cynogen to stock rom using clockwork mod recovery
can you help me step by step?
and the stock [with no root] rom for wildfire with froyo is this one?
RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.2 4H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe (This RUU contains HBoot 1.01.0001)
i need only to connect the phone to pc and run the exe?
First, decide what you want to do - Flash the EXE RUU, or Flash the Safe Flash ZIP File. If you decide to flash the Safe ZIP file, you will keep Clockworkmod Recovery, which will allow you to flash stuff later. If you select the EXE RUU, Clockworkmod Recovery will be removed, so you will NOT be able to flash anything, like ROMs, Kernels etc.
Once you have decided, here are the steps:
1) If you decide to install the Safe Flash ZIP File
- Download the Safe Flash ZIP from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
Rooted / Unrooted, Its upto you which version you want. Rooted version has Superuser, so you can run apps like Titanium Backup etc. Unrooted doesnt have Superuser, so you cant run root apps.
- Place this file on your SDCard
- Now, open ROM Manager
- Select Flash Clockworkmod Recovery. Then make sure you select 2.5.0.7. NOT a version beginning with 3.x, 4.x or 5.x
- Once it is installed, in ROM Manager, the next option will be 'reboot into recovery'. Select that
- Once you select that, then you will be taken to Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 (Which has all its options in Green coloured Text). Here, select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset". This step will erase all data on your phone (Not on your SDcard, Just your phone data. This step is essential when changing ROMs)
- Lastly, select "Install Zip from SDCard", and then, select the ZIP file you placed on your card at the beginning of this step. Let it install. Once installed, Select "Reboot System Now", and let the phone reboot. Done
2) If you decide to run the EXE RUU
- Its pretty much 1 step. Connect the phone to your PC and run the EXE File. It will automatically perform the install. If you get an Error 131 - Customer ID Error, you will need to create a Goldcard. There's a guide for that here:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
