ClockworkMod Recovery without S-OFF

I got a PVT4 Desire rooted S-ON and want to backup my current ROM.
I would like to use ClockworkMod Recovery, but can I flash it on recovery without S-OFF?
And I don't want to flash alpharev and hboot without a recovery. Is there any possibility getting a new working Version on my PVT4?
Thank you!

What recovery do you have now?
What version do you want flash (I mean version of CWM)?

Did you search the forum? Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1002930

Now I got the one RomManager downloads and flashes = 2.5.0.7 <-- won't work with PVT4 Desire
I want the best/newest I can get with S-ON. Is 3.2.0.1 the newest for desire?

I think it is.
But the only way to flash it permanently (as S-ON) is the Unrevoked root tool.
Which means, you have to select the recovery (as custom recovery) in Unrevoked and root again.

There is no "best". Take the one that suits your needs and, more importantly, is working. Here's the CWM thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954
And here's the 4EXT thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154221
Take your pick and let unrevoked do the rest.

But don't forget to download the recovery in .IMG format and select as CUSTOM RECOVERY when starting Unrevoked.

Well, the last posting in that thread says to use unrevoked with a custom recovery image, but davebugyi's answer is quite as good

Personally I'd just S-OFF your phone, in my opinion that's just the easier way.. that and having the addition of extra options of a. easier to fix your phone of something goes wrong and b. having the option of flashing different SPL/Hboot c. having the option of flashing different radios d. perma-flashing recoveries is easier
S-OFF'ing with revolutionary is a breeze and takes under a minute...

4EXT is some other Recovery, not CwM? I think I'll S-OFF it a after the holidays means net saturday/sunday
Thank you!

Yep, it's not cwm recovery.

Why do you think you need to downgrade your hboot? What benefits do you expect to gain from doing so?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

as rootsu said, theres no benefits
but if you really want to then head over to the alpharev site and download the hboot downgrader, flash that either by fastboot or the pb99img.zip method, then run a froyo ruu

I already tried using the hboot downgrader but it didn't work.
I also tried unrevoked...
Thank you all for your help
Sorry not to have post at the right place...

what bugs have you found?

you cant do that, but you can go to http://revolutionary.io and flash a custom hboot, then you can decide if you want to:
1) Flash the downgrader.img and run a Froyo RUU to remain stock OR
2) Flash custom recovery (and root or flash custom ROM)
What is the ultimate goal? You want to be rooted and with custom ROM?

Is there a way to S-on again ? or change HBOOT?
I try to downgrade but I still have the S-OFF hboot 6.093.1002.
Thank you

only way to s-on is to flash downgrader.img then run RUU. S-off is good though.

I tried several times but it did not work...
The procedure succeed when the downgrde is down I can read "[2] boot loader = bypassed"... others are OK
I tried also other think... flashing with different RUU Roms, works every time except the boot that didn't change...
Did you succeed overwriting the hboot after s-off on time?
I think I will leave it so
Thank you for the time you gave me

I left trying to downgrade hboot and I install last leedroid HD, it seems to work (little bit slow). Strange thing, I can not flash the last radio...
Thank you all for your help.

Downgrade Help

In my attempt to unlock bootloader, I stupidly upgraded my software version to 3.12.405.1 while using Easy Unlock Tool, because I wasn't paying attention what it was saying in the CMD.exe. Now I'm trying to downgrade it, because I can't seem to succeed doing anything with it (Rooting, Installing CWM or changing ROM). Also, it's S-ON, so I'm trying to get it S-OFF as well.
I'm lost. Can anyone help me out here?
PS: I really don't need to be reminded that I messed up...
EDIT: I managed to root it, install CWM. What I need to do now is get S-OFF and put a custom rom (Do I really need S-OFF?).

No, but I'm all good now. I don't really need to S-OFF as I've seen in other guides, but I need to know how to flash a kernel via boot.img.

Have you installed 4ext recovery? Download 4ext from the google play, that will let you install 4ext recovery free for 3 days or something - long enough, only takes a few minutes! And roms and kernals can be flashed from there

Wildfire cwm install help

Hello there. after years i recieved a HTC wildfire from a friend. and i thought to root it and install some custom roms.
It is S-off
Hboot version is 1.01.002
and i was able to root it and install superuser.
but the problem is i was not able to install cwm recovery
i tried rom manager method, and also via fastboot usb flash
The install process goes well but i can't enter in to cwm recovery. When i click the recovery option in boot menu it takes me to old recovery screen
Obviously i'm missing something here
Can you guys please help me out??

Hi! What cwm you installed? And from where?

Put that file on your SD Card and the HBOOT should detect it and install it. Tell me if it worked or not.

This is the tool i used to gain S-Off (http://revolutionary.io/) Its a further developed version of unrevoked3 for the HTC Wildfire and AlphaRevX for the HTC Desire. This tool should work pretty similiar to unrevoked (but i don't remember very well) so maybe you should have a look in the unrevoked3 thread, which you can find in the Wildfire Development forum at the top of the page.
Also read the revolutionary guide carefully :http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
And dont forget to install htc fastboot drivers!
I found a very good tutorial for revolutionary and the HTC Wildfire

Hi, is there a guide to do this for a noob?
I tried this and its not detecting the phone. Reading some guides online, im a little confused. They say you need to root it first, then do a nandroid backup, because it wont load the ROM otherwise. I thought that alpharev.nl rooted the phone too, but it seem not to be the case, its just s-off. Any help?

If it's not detecting your phone then the drivers are not installed correctly. This will not root your phone. This will S-off and install a custom recovery. Once a custom recovery is installed you can then do a Nandroid back up (for safety) and flash whatever suitable ROM you choose. If you want to stay on stock ROM but rooted you can flash superuser through recovery.
