Latest update for us is 2.3.5
You can get 2.3.7 by flashing some custom rom, such as cm7.

Then that's what I need I assumed it was 2.3.7 because of custom roms. Still my question remains... How do I update...

I said this after someone told me what you just said... This thread doesn't even have 2 pages of posts and you can't read 2 replies before....
Regardless, I want to know how to flash an update. Would I have to uninstall CWM and install the update that way then reinstall CWM, or is there a way that is easier?

For official updates you need stock HTC recovery. That's why it boots to cwm and aborts. Try the unroot tool by rezo. It installs stock recovery for you. You can't be rooted too, I've heard. So use that tool and all should be fine.

you wont be able to update just the sense part of your 2.3.4. you will need to download a custom ROM that has sense 3.0 or higher already built into it.
then will i have to re-root? Do you know of such a rom?

you wont loose root because you will flash the rom in recovery. just keep an eye on the development section

2.3.4 is rootable as long as you were s-off before you installed it.

(my girlfriend) recently updated her software to 2.3.4, the phone has never been rooted b4, just to be sure, there is currently no way to root? if so how? i recently followed the same steps i did on my own phone a few months back (unrevoked3) but was unsuccessful.

So i installed cwm and now i read that i won't be able to install updates?

Will just un installing it let me do the updates or do i need to do anything else?
Thanks

You just flash back to stock rom to get the updates. But the point is once rooted your rom of choice will be updated probably faster than the Google update gets pushed to your phone.
^ This!!!
And why have a galaxy nexus if you want to go back to stock for ota? Its a development device....use the roms the devs release for it...lol.
Do I understand this correctly? Clockwork mod recovery with stock ICS will not give OTA updates from Google???

Yes...although im not sure why this concerns anybody. As fast as development is moving on this device, the devs will have updates out as fast or faster than google releases them via ota.

The problem with roms is that it's not 100% stable. I came from htc dinc, i havent seen any stable rom for it.

You can flash the official roms from google with cwm. This way you have your updates faster.
But I should choose a developer rom they have awsome features.

[Q] Downgrade from 2.3.5 to 2.3.3

Hi Everyone!.. New to XDA and it's really helpful.
However, I am unable to find the answer to my query...
I have a HTC Wildfire S. Great phone don't get me wrong. I updated the software to 2.3.5 and I've hated it ever since Everyone moans about the "lock screen" but I don't have a problem with that. It's the fact it's slower and I am unable to root it.
Hence my question.. can you downgrade a WFS to 2.3.3 from 2.3.5?
All help would be appreciated
Yes, you can.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445867
you can do it , but also you can root it ! since you have an unlocked bootloader or s-off you can get permanent root using superoneclick , and flash custom recoveries and others !
downgrade from 2.3.5 to 2.3.3
hello i wanna know the procedure to downgrade my htc wildfire s.I also wanna know that will downgrading help in removing the "RELOCK" status of my phone to "LOCKED" for warranty purpose
. PLease help me I want my warranty
Guess what? It's old thread bump time!
My father wants to take my old Wildfire S (GSM) as I don't need it anymore ('updated' to Nexus 4). However I had CM7 on it and he disliked it for being different than Sense he knew from his Desire Z. I installed custom Sense 3.5 but he didn't fancy it either.
I can go back to stock 2.3.5 Android as I have it in my CWM backup folder in PC, but I know it will work similar to what I have now, that's why I need a tutorial how to go back to stock 2.3.3.
TL;DR - I must flash stock 2.3.3 on GSM Marvel.
Thanks in advance

You can flash the RUU and then re-root it, RemPuzzle is a good sense rom

is there no chance of installing a rooted rom like I did last time. the one I found here the link is dead
Rempuzzle is rooted, in fact all the custom roms here are pre-rooted.
Look in the wildfire development section.

WildPuzzle is a good one and also as close to stock as you can get. But I'm pretty sure that's also the one that you mean that has the dead link. But a member may have mirrored it to another website.
If you need a ROM that's similar to WildPuzzle, look at Rempuzzle. It's the continuation of that, but constantly developed.

Did you wipe your cache and delvik cache too?
Note: I may have spelled that wrong.
