How can i find the last v. of CWM 5.X.x & how can flash it as deafult recovery?
sorry for my bad Eng
If you are on older hboot 0.80 then use unrevoked to select custom recovery image from the file menu. Add your newer recovery.img file. Then go with unrevoked which installs the new recovery.
If you have alpharev/revolutionary hboot then use fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ". Or use flash_image from terminal emulator.
And learn to search.

I did this earlier today, if you're using the Unrevoked method the more recent builds don't seem to work (I kept getting an error "Is your firmware too new?"). I used version 3.14 in the end and had no trouble.

I'm using unrevoked to change CWM to Amon RA. I have gone through the step below.
1. Run unrevoked then went to file and choose Amon RA and then plug my desire to my PC.
2. I had follow the instruction onscreen. Everything went fine when at last after rebooting i got an error.
Error: failed to get root.
Is your firmware new.
My desire is rooted and s-off
below are the spec of my phone:
baseband version: 32.44.00.32u_5.09.05.30_2
kernel version:2.6.32.28
build number:1.72.405.3
Android version 2.2
Pls can anyone tell me what wrong
Why not use fastboot if you are S-off?
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Put the img in the same folder as fastboot, check md5 if available and change recovery.img to the actual name.
Thanks a lot. But sorry to bother you. Where is the fastboot folder . I have search but couldn't find it.
On Windows, i believe, that it comes with the sdk in the platform-tools or tools folder and for Mac and linux you need to download it separate.
Edit
There is probably no need to download the hole sdk. I posted a link in the AlphaRev thread some time ago, try to find that, there might also be a fastboot file for Windows.

I tried doing it with fastboot, have latest sdk version installed but something is not working, after I type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it starts and then says some win.dll is missing than it kills process.
can I ask if this will work for desire too?

I did it via fastboot eventually.
I have an rooted HTC Desire(Android 2.2 Froyo) with HBoot 0.80 which was rooted by Goldcard img. etc.
but the recovery is just temporarily and i would like to make it permanent like rooting with unrEVOked Any ideas how to?
I tried to root another time with unrEVOked over the existing but it didn't work
Unrevoked is just a tool to root, not a tool to flash a recovery. You will need to go to fastboot and use adb. Think that command is something like
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Here are the 2 recoveries you can use. CWM or Amon (GSM only).
Correct, you need to use fastboot (which is not the same as adb). But before you can flash via fastboot you need to be S-off.
To do so see AlphaRev in sig. Remember you are the only one responseble for you phone, no one else.

Ah right. I don't use fastboot method manually.
I had another HTC desire which I rooted with unrevoked and there the cwm recovery was linked to boot with vol down power -> recovery. If I do that on this HTC desire I end up at the normal recovery where than I have to press vol down up power and then press apply update.zip
You can flash a permanent custom recovery using unrevoked^3 when you root. You'll need the recovery .img file. The only reason it won't work is if you haven't set it up properly (plenty of guides around). You could always reflash your RUU and root through it from scratch.

If it was already rooted you can try to reflash you recovery image with rom manager or put the update.zip manually back on the root of the sd. If that does not work try Unrevoked but that will not flash a permanent recovery image (fake flash), the only way to get a permanent recovery image if by using fastboot and S-off.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
That is how the OP is doing it now, albeit not from ROM Manager
You could try running unrEVOked again to flash the recovery but if this doesn't work then you'd need to go back to stock and re-root using unrEVOked
Which RUU should I flash?

How does Unrevoked not flash permanent? Unrevoked flashes the .img to your phones recovery partition - the NAND is temporarily unlocked just enough to flash to so it is like flashing the recovery with S-OFF. That's a permanent flash so every time you boot into Recovery, that's what you'll find. That's as far as I know from when Unrevoked was released (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Koushik usually supplies image files to use specifically with Unrevoked.
The .img files to use with Unrevoked are here (look for Bravo): http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/

Depends on your original country/network carrier. More details to unroot can be found here as well as the RUU link:

How are you flashing?
Off thou flash it through recovery your just fake flashing it. You need to actually flash it through fastboot but you need S-Off. There is a way to do it without fastboot. Just Google it. You use the terminals emulator instead. No idea if it works though
Sent from CM7
as meaple has said, its only a fake flash, so it doesnt actually flash it.
i couldnt get it to work through the terminal method either due to protections (s-on) but i have now s-off, so it let me flash via fastboot first time
Can I do it with unrevoked or do I have to s-off? (assuming i won't make it with the terminal)

I've never been s-off and I flashed it successfully during rooting with unrevoked.

yes you can do it with unrevoked, but you would have to unroot first, and then go unrevoked with custom recovery
hi, i have the same problem, but i am s-off
i tryed to flash via android flasher, fastboot, an via recovery with the .zip file.
everytime the same Oo
Are you sure your S-OFF?
Because then it should work!

Zip is not what you need. You need to get an img file of the recovery you want to flash. You can then do that via Fastboot or Android Flasher etc. Flashing the zip from wherever is still just fake flashing.

No. you don't have to un root. You can flash unrevoked on a rooted device
If you are s on, use unrevoked. Else use the following from fast boot:
fastboot flash recovery cwm_.img

How do I install a clockworkmod later version? I have v2.5 installed and v.4 is out now and I've downloaded it to PC. What next, once i get it onto my sd?
You have to be s-off. Then you are able to flash it with a flasher tool or just by a fastboot "mod" from your pc. Just use google or the search function of this forum .

So, if I'm S-On I can't update to the new version?
Either:
A)unroot and root again using custom recovery.
B)s-off and simply flash it through the fastboot.
here it is... using Terminal emulator.. the simplest method I know... Dont know whether it requires S-OFF or not but I had S-OFF..

instead of AR-recovery.. use img of CWM recovery..
Hi.
While back I ran Revolutionary tool to S-off and root + CWM recovery.
Recently I ran official 2.3 RUU and used stock ROM. Now I want to try ICS, but I don't have CWM anymore. Revolutionary hboot and S-off is still ok. Tried running Revolutionary tool again, but it says I'm already S-off and tries to install CWM, but fails. Tried to install CWM manually through fastboot, but it hangs on sending file. I can still see the device with "fastboot devices".
Since I used a RUU, I don't have root access anymore.
Any idea on how to flash CWM?
IF u are still s-off u can flash a new recovery, click 4ext recovery on my sig, download and install the 4ext recovery updater app then flash recovery. to get root just flash superuser zip file

The 4EXT recovery updater app says it requres root access to function. But it don't have root

How can that help me, when I don't have root access? The superuser apk itself does no good without root access. The 4EXT app need busybox, and busybox needs root.
This is the situation:
I want a custom recovery. But for that, I need root. And to get root, I need a custom recovery. It is an evil circle! But since I have Revolutionary hboot and S-OFF, there must be some way I can get a custom recovery.

The first step:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager/
Download recovery image and flash it via fastboot, or using some flasher.
Then like you did before flash Superuser .zip:
http://androidsu.com/superuser/
After that you'll have root access and you can flash 4ext recovery as well.

I quote myself from my initial post:
"Tried to install CWM manually through fastboot, but it hangs on sending file. I can still see the device with "fastboot devices"."
So that don't work for me, sorry. Seems I can't write to recovery partition. Didn't work with the Revolutionary tool either. The only thing I can think of, that could work, is if the Revolutionary tool could see the device as untouched by the tool, and start the process from the beginning.
Did you try with erase recovery command, and then flash recovery?
If that doesn't work, 2.3 RUU and start from scratch.

Seems to hang on erase command too. Screenshot:

I managed to flash CWM! Just had to change computers. Weird, since my Windows is fairly fresh and had all the right drivers.
