Hello I bought a desire off ebay that is already rooted and unlocked. I want to install clockwork mod as this is what I have used before. The phone is currently running the oxygen rom. Can I just follow a guide to install clockwork and change the rom. Will I need to root the phone again after even if I install a rooted rom.

no, all custom ROMs are rooted. If you want to flash recovery it's best to use fastboot.
reboot into fastboot (power off, then hold back & power), plug it into usb (if you haven't already, you will need fastboot drivers, and fastboot.exe put in c:
you need to download recovery, I'd recommend Ra Desire (in my signature), once you've downloaded it, rename it to "recovery.img" and put it in c:
once you've done that, open cmd
Code:
cd\
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I put fastboot.exe in the attachments just make sure you unzip it
Hi, can I install last clockworkmod recovery 5.0.1.0 from another recovery (4Ext) choosing install from zip file?
I tried android flasher but I had error problem. [PVT4, CM7-r2 hboot]
U can install from an other recovery, but it will a fake flash..its like a temp recovery, after reboot u lost it..its not a permanent one
to change permanently the recovery, u need s-off, then do this steps
-install htc sync drivers (install htc sync, uninstall it but leave drivers)
-download this file and extract on ur computer (its a minimal set of files to use fastboot commands)
-put the recovery img file in the same folder u extract the above files
-in the shell, navigate to ur above folder..like cd C:\folder-name
-put ur phone in fastboot mode, plug the usb
-from ur computer start/run/cmd, then write fastboot flash recovery recovery-name.img
-fastboot reboot
that's all
(u will find all this by searching )
Just rooted my phone for the first time, and it went pretty smoothly until I tried to flash ClockworkMod. Nothing happens whenever I try to flash it from ROM Manager. I get a progress bar at the top for a second, then it disappears, and nothing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and can't think of anything else to do.
how did you root? if you used the wiki method you should already have cwm-recovery...
push power & volume - to enter bootloader and then choose the recovery option
if this doesn´t work, post your hboot number... you have s-off? (reason: if you flashed the eng hboot while rooting you can flash the cwm-recovery through fastboot)
command: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Go into Terminal Emulator and type "su." If it asks you if you want it to have root permissions, you have root.

I rooted following the wiki.
I'm trying to install roms through rom manager and when I hit download roms it says, "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install the recovery through ROM Manager First"
Sorry, all of this still confuses me, this is my first time doing this. I don't know what Terminal Emulator is.
ok, i will try to help...
1. download a rom of your choice to pc
2. put it on your sdcard
3. enter recovery (turn the phone off, then press power & volume down - the bootloader will appear, choose the option recovery (volume up and down for moving and tp-wake to choose)
4. in recovery first wipe data & cache & dalvik cache
5. again in recovery choose install from sdcard and select your downloaded rom
6. reboot and have fun...
pls hit the thanks button

The ROM manager and ClockwordMod you have after rooting following the wiki is a VERY old version. It will say you do not have Clockword even if you do have it.
Things to try:
1. Install ROM manager from the market.
2. Reboot into recovery (turn off the phone, then hold down volume and power until you see the HBOOT, choose recovery). If you're in ClockwordMod (which you should) then you're fine.
3. Flash a new recovery through ADB (which what you should definitely learn how to do)
3a. download the newest version of ClockwordMod, copy the img file to the same folder as adb
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
3b. go to settings, make sure that you're in USB Debugging Mode
3c. now, just to make sure you won't brick your phone, turn off the phone, hold down volume and power. If you see the FASTBOOT USB, you're good to go.
3d. open cmd in your computer
3e. type in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
in which recovery.img is the recovery image you just downloaded. If you download it from the website I pointed, the command will be
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7-vision.img
Now you have the latest recovery. Go to recovery in the HBOOT menu to see the result, enjoy!
Terminal emulator: It will be one of the apps in your apps drawer, named "Terminal Emulator". May or may not be there depends on what ROM you're running.
Check for root using cmd: using command "adb shell", you should see
adb server us out of date, killing...
*daemon started successfully*

Installing ROM: please try not to use ROM Manager, learn how to do it in Recovery at least. Because if you cannot boot to your ROM, runs ROM manager then you're stuck when something wrong happens (which is quite usual if you're flashing). Best way is to copy the ROM to your SD card, reboot to recovery, choose "Install from zip" then pick the zip file of the ROM. (remember to wipe data/cache and dalvik cache in the advanced menu)
Hope that helps!
Edited: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager is down for the moment. I attached the newest G2 recovery img for you. Use either of them. Touch is more advance (and more confusing).
Disregard. Kyra was faster.

Hi guys!
I have figured out how to install any rom on the new HTC HBOOT
Steps:
1. Unlock the bootloader at htcdev.com. You need an account.
2. Reboot the phone into hboot. (menu with FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, etc)
3. Use power button to select FASTBOOT
4. Connect phone to PC through USB cable
5. Now, 'FASTBOOT' should have an extra 'USB' behind it e.g. FASTBOOT USB
6. Use fastboot.exe (or Mac/Linux versions) and type fastboot.exe flash recovery cwms.img (attached)
7. You have installed CWM! Use RECOVERY from the hboot menu to enter and flash any rom's zip or do nandroid backups.
This is my first post so if there' anything wrong please tell me
I am relatively new to the android rooting scene and have installed a file from zip using clockwork recovery to remove the 3 dot menu from applications but afterward my phone now doesn't boot, its just stuck at the HTC ONE screen i have tried factory reset from clockwork and it didn't work. i am wiling to do anything even if everything is erased and if it could be mac friendly even better but anything is fine

I guess you are on a stock rooted rom?
Seems the version provided in the thread was incompatible with the stock rom version your are currently on:
A few solutions:
1. Search a custom rom in the development threads and flash it, choose an ICS rom though if its a sense rom..flashing a jellybean rom is a bit more advanced and isnt suggested for beginners.
2. If you know which stock rom your are using (1.28, 1.29 or 2.17) you can search for a corresponding rom and push/flash just the android.policy.jar from it back to yoru device - thats the file taht got overwritten when you flashed the 3dot removal zip.
3. If you got a nandroid backup, just revert to your backup in recovery.
...there are a few other solutions, which requires relocking your bootloader etc.
IF your are already rooted I would suggest to flash a custom rom, this is the easiest way to get your oen x back to live and running a custom rom can bring a lot of advantages: better battery life, smoother UI and a lot of stuff that enhances the user experience on the One X.
Cheers, Jan
Restore a nandroid from before you flashed the mod. Or find your relevant ruu, relock your bootloader and run the ruu from your pc

Accessing sd card even if device does not boot is still possible, using adb in recovery mode.
If You have cwm recovery flashed, just boot into recovery, if you dont flash revocery and boot into it.
If You are unable to flash recovery do direct boot into recovery as follows:
You need fastboot binaries and recovery image
1. reboot device into fastboot
2. open command window ( cmd, bash, whatever )
3. use this command "fastboot.exe boot recovery.img" where recovery.img is filename for recovery image
4. You device should be now in recovery mode.
Now, for the magic
You need adb binaries.
1. open command window
2. type "adb devices" this should show device id confirming adb's ability to communicate with device
3. using recovery on the phone mount sdcard
assuming You use clockworkmod recovery:
3.1. select "mounts and storage"
3.2. select "mount /sdcard", if successfull, this entry will change into "umount /scard", dont select it again, leave Your phone on the desk and proceed
4. to copy files to device sdcard, use command window You opened previously,
5. type "adb push FILE_NAME.ZIP /sdcard/FILE_NAME.ZIP" where filename is rom zip or any other file You want to copy.
6. depending on file size, this may take some time, and it will seem line nothing is happening, just let it run for couple of minutes.
7. go back to You device.
8. select "umount /sdcard"
9. select "+++Go Back+++"
10. flash you rom from copied file if You need.

Hi there, I am trying to follow these instructions but when i type adb devices I dont get a device listed at all, please help as I flashed the boot.img right before I was about to install a new rom but the rom had errors and so the installation was aborted and now im stuck in an eternal boot loop.
please help!
ADB commands only work in recovery or when you're booted in Android (not possible in your case). What you need to do is put your phone in fastboot mode and get into recovery from there (plenty of info on how to do that available on these forums).
Once you're in recovery mode ADB devices list should show your device and then follow the rest of those instructions.
If you can't get into fastboot from your bootloop force phone off by holding power button for 5 second, then once off hold volume down only and phone should boot in fastboot
