Is it ok to flash a ROM after i have unlocked my bootloader and rooted or do I absolutely have to have S-Off first? I have looked around and searched and googled first and found no answer to this question. Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can flash a rom without being s-off but you need to manually flash the boot.img file.

Has anybody tried fastbooting the recovery img into the phone's memory?
Like this:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-vivow.img

All that will do is boot you into recovery .
If you use fastboot , the command would be like
"Fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery.img>"

I had read somewhere that if you boot into recovery in the phone's memory instead of from the partition, the recovery will be able to write to the boot partition - so no need to flash the boot.img separately.
I haven't tested this myself, though.

Hey
I was following this tutorial:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525100
And everything worked well untill the part I had to boot into recovery mode.
I couldn't get into it and decided to skip that part and just flash the boot.img from the ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202
I flashed everything succesful without any errors but now my phone won't boot, it just gives me a black screen and can't get into recovery.
My bootloader is unlocked and I can still get into it.
I was thinking about flashing the stock RUU or another ROM, but is this possible?
Now I can't use my desire hd .. need some help with it.
EDIT:
I'm S-ON and unlocked bootloader.
I just tried to flash CWM and it flashed succesfully but still couldn't boot into recovery..
That tutorial is for the Desire S. What RUU did you use?

First I unlocked the bootloader.
Then I moved the ROM's zip file to the SD card.
I flashed the 4EXT Recovery after that.
I couldn't boot into recovery so I flashed the ROM's boot.img
Then I couldn't boot my phone in normal mode
After that I flashed CWM but it also didn't work..
Then I used fastboot erase cache and after that I tried fastboot oem rebootRUU
that's all I did untill now
What did you have on your phone to begin with, stock? What ROM zip did you get the boot.img from? How did you flash recovery? Which image?

I had stock rom on my phone, didn't make a backup.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335496 is the rom I tried to put on my phone, that is where the boot.img is from.
And I flashed recovery with
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
btw, i dont have a file PD98IMG
EDIT:
I tried booting into recovery with the command fastboot boot recovery.img
but it is stuck on the HTC screen
OK, you've flashed a JB AOSP boot.img on a Froyo/GB Sense ROM. No wonder it's not booting. Again, where did you get the recovery image from? You need to flash a working recovery from fastboot (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img), flash the ROM from recovery, and flash the matching boot.img from fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img).

Recoveries are device specific. http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager. ROMs are all flashed the same way if you are S-On with an unlocked bootloader.

If your bootloader is S-On unlocked, you need to flash the boot.img from fastboot each time you flash a ROM.

...you didn't answer my question. S-Off or bootloader unlock?
And ADB and fastboot are different things. Fastboot in bootloader. ADB during and after boot.
