No, it doesn't remove your recovery.

I didn't lose my recovery when s-offing but also heared that it could happen. Although I believe that since 1.8 AlphaRev installed a new version of CWM any way.
But if you can't get the sdk to work I would think twice about S-offing.

No no no that's temp recovery,scratch is telling you to update your phones recovery. The recovery you go to when holding power and volume down.
regards,slymobi

Rom manager only gives you a temporary recovery, your main recovery will probably be an older version with the offmode charging bug.

Download this and move it to the root of your SD card (not in any folders) then power off, press volume down and power button to enter hboot and wait for it to load, press up to flash the recovery image then reboot, either delete the zip after or rename it to something else otherwise everytime you enter hboot it'll try to flash it.

You don't flash it in recovery, just make sure its called PC49IMG.zip and reboot into hboot.

Assuming ur s-off then download the rom u want, make sure u have the correct hboot for it and sdcard is partitioned to suit the rom then boot into recovery do a full wipe then install zip from sdcard. I had to do it this way many times coz my laptop only connects to my phone when it can be bothered lol

What does wipe mean? "Clear memory" part, in recovery?

Is it there? Lol u tell me. U can partition ur sdcard with 4ext recovery (if ur s-off) or use gparted. Most roms will require u to have exr3/4 partition bout 1-1.5gb.

[Q] Installing ROMs on DZ

Ok, so as you may have guessed I'm quite new to the forum.
I just have a question about the mimicry 1.3.1 ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1714187
When I select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" in ROM manager it asks me to confirm my device, and shows up with one option: HTC G2
Is it safe to install it even if I'm using a Desire Z?
My phone is rooted.
Thanks in advance!

Well not exactly, the 3G radio band differs between the two devices, so if you're on T-Mobile, then a Desire-Z won't give you 3G speeds. (but both can have a Desire-Z hboot if you need the room for HTC Sense, but either is fine for mimicry).
and another vote for 4EXT Recovery here as well.

Ditto on 4ext; you can pick up the installer/updater at 4ext.net or purchase the pro version in the market to get added features and support the dev.

nandroid backup first...
go here, pick a few, try them out. make sure you read the op and have correct hboot / sd-ext partition if required.
ask yourself what YOU want out of your rom, not what others tell you works for them...
