[Q]Downgrading CWM 3.x to 2.x

So I have this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949733
And I'm trying to fix this by downgrading CWM to 2.xx but the problem is that I don't know how. I can't acces ROM manager because I can't get pass to my bootscreen. So Is there any way to install CWM 2.xx without having to use ROM manager?

You can use adb, the context (I believe) would be 'flashimage recovery name-of-recovery-file.img'

Please be careful. By flashing your SPL without doing extensive research, you're at risk of turning your semi-brick into a permanent brick.
Look at this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik..._Root_.2F_.22Permaroot.22.29_using_gfree_v0.5
Pay attention to section 4 (...it looks like gfree is used to install the new SPL too).

Edit: sorry I didn't read that you were unable to boot into your ROM.

I have a problem

Soooo. I've had my HTC desire (gsm) for about a year. I rooted it. Put new roms on it. Flashed it hundreds of times. But I got bored. So I thought is go back to stock HTC 2.3 sense.
Wrong.....
Now no matter what I try I can re-root it.
I've tried alpharevx.
I've tried apps.
I've tried fastboot.
I've tried hboot.
And a few other I can't even remember.
Sooooo. My question is this. How do I root a phone that doesn't want to be rooted and only wants to run stock 2.3
Any help greatly received.

Hmm revolutionary should work, as far as i know its the only 1 that can s-off hboot 1.02.0001
How r u using revolutionary? is ur phone booted up and usb bugging enabled? dont mean to offend u with those silly questions lol its just strange it dont work. Now saying that, maybe revolutionary does'nt work on all devices, i dont know. im only guessing. also i know that theres a few other programs that r supposed to do the job like SuperOneClick and there mite be one or 2 others but i really cant tell u if they work or not or if they cause problems, i really dont know.

Try unrEVOked_3.20…just 3.20!

Man, keep your advise to yourself... seriously.
via xda app

I did it in the same order as you are trying now. First got stock 2.3 and then wanted root.
I remember it was easy. I just googled for a how to and I don't even think it was on xda, just a random page. I had the same hboot, gsm.

With your hboot ver revolutionary is the only option. Period.
Revolutionary only gives SOFF and allows you to install recovery.
You have to flash the su zip seperately to get root - superuser
One simple thing to try would be to change the computer, install hboot drivers and try revolutionary again.
Hope this helps.

Why dont you check it yourself. Just reboot to bootloader and take note of bootloader info. If it written " ace pvt eng/ship s-off" then you are s-off. Better confirm it to avoid problems that may occur during ruu..
