To flash ClockworkMod, you need to S-OFF which is technically different than unlocked.
Here is a thread that discusses installing ClockworkMod after you have gained S-OFF:

But you still haven't given us much information to go on.
Using the correct terminolgy:
1. Your phone is unlocked, but does it show S-OFF when you boot into the bootloader screen (Hold Volume Down and Press the Power button).
2. If your phone is S-OFF, what method did you use to gain S-OFF? Did you use AlphaRevX or XTC Clip?
3. If you are following the guide from the previous post, what message are you getting when you attempt to perform the fastboot flash recovery command?
4. You mentioned in your first post that you have tried everything. Could you enlighten us on exactly which methods you have attempted and the messages you got.
There are alot of people on here that may have some suggestions when you give more specifics. Just trying to help.
I got it finally!!!!! I used alpharex to get s-off but couldn't get cwm but I used super one click and got root and then flashed clockworkmod thanks for all you help.

You should probably read the first couple of sticky threads on this same page as they will give you a good place to start the learning curve of rooting and flashing roms that we all go through.. Enjoy!

Yes, you need to do some research. One option you will have is to use the procedure that is documented in the HBOOT 1.16/2.00 Downgrade Tool thread to be able gain true S-OFF. The other option is to use the Unlock bootloader procedure at HTCDEV.com. In both cases you will need to get familiar with the Android SDK tools adb.exe and fastboot.exe, so I suggest you do some more research.
Let me share from the GURU of Android on XDA Senior Member, YOU DONT NEED TO DOWNGRADE TO HBOOT 1.13 to Install Costum Rom. And I've follow that instruction how to do that I have made for my Inc S hboot 1.16 S-On.
Yes,first thing you should go htcdev to unlock bootloader and flash with CWM or 4EXT witch one. And you can install any costum rom from the bigger chief. Before do that after flash e.g Clockwork, you should Nandroid Backup. Pls consider to Backup your htc orig.rom and then you wipe,factory reset.and install costum rom om your SDcard....

I tried unlocking the bootloader from htcdev. I followed the instructions and did everything that was supposed to. I got the success message as well.
I just started the mobile. It shows "Unlocked" in rose color on the top. Same time it shows S - ON on the next line.

With the bootloader in an UNLOCKED state, you can now install ClockworkMod recovery (CWM) and once you have CWM installed you can flash custom ROMs. Check the sticky posts in this forum for the steps you need to follow.
Hello, recently I have a vivid htc but I have a problem, the phone is restarted infinitely and does not start and try several rom and always the same, any solution? thanks
With this phone, as of now you have to flash both the zip file and the boot IMG file, look into it and get back to us

What should do?
Need more info. did you flash a rom? did you try and unlock the boot loader? what lead up to this
Well explained everything, did this process Vivid_All-In-One_Kit_v1.2 , Then lower this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431053, I gave you install from sd and that's all that and miss
Help I'm desperate
Did you fastboot flash the correct boot.img and recovery.img. I suspect that maybe your problem given you unlocked the bootloader successfully.

Then I did a full wipe and flashed the virtuous rom again and still the same results. I know I definitely messed up. I've spent a few hours reading and researching but due to my lack of experience I cannot figure out 1)how to reverse my problem and 2)how to fix it if possible. I am still able to get to CWM Recovery. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you
Did you extract the boot.IMG from the ROM and flash it via fastboot?

The Most caused reason why your vivid is stuck on the white screen is because you flashed a wrong kernel or no kernel at all with the right rom
You need to relock bootloader Run the stock ruu unlock bootloader flash recovery then a kernel then go into recovery and flash the rom with an sd card

You Never Know, He is a noob its possible
I've got an Incredible S with me here with Bootloader version 2.02.0000 and official ICS installed (upgraded OTA from GB around 4 months back). I unlocked the bootloader through the HTC Dev site. Every thing went smooth. Next, i flashed a custom recovery (CWM v 5.0.2.) and then the Superuser zip file i found one of the related Incredible S threads. I proceeded to flash the device with a JB ROM (after duly wiping data and cache on the phone) and it went well along with flashing of the gapps package. When rebooting after the procedure was done, the phone remained stuck on the startup HTC white screen. I tried waiting for 10-20 minutes but there was no change. I was (and still am) able to boot into CWMR and hence also tried re-flashing to no avail. Please note that I did not take a nandroid backup (Quite stupid to do so now that i look back) and hence not able to restore. Tried searching for an RUU of the official ICS by HTC for this phone but could not find one. Tried one from HTC's site (Asia specific RUU) but it gave an error saying i had the wrong RUU file for my phone. Also, my phone is S-ON.
I would request members to please point me to the correct sources for the solution of my situation. Please tell me how should i go about from here.
TIA

You need to manually flash the boot.IMG of the ROM you are flashing, because you are s on. Not s off.

Many thanks for your reply! I got the solution after i posted here after a bit more searching around the different threads. I did the exact same thing mentioned by Drugzy below an hour back. Got the device to boot and was running JB with HBOOT version 2.02.000 and S-ON. Later, went ahead with the guide to S-OFF using revolutionary and it was a success as well. Currently running JB with HBOOT version 1.13 and S-OFF .

Good you got it sorted. S off is much better IMO as you can flash new radios if desired and ROMs are easier to flash etc. Happy romming

Yea S-OFF is much more convenient, as it is easy to flash new things.

Desire C Cricket HBOOT 1.63 Radio 0.92.00.0903 Unlocked Bootloader S-On
I was trying to put a recovery on and root after unlocking bootloader and for whatever reason I cannot get into any recovery other than stock. Once in stock I cannot flash anything. Only thing I could tell was previous owner had a customer kernel on it but now I cannot get past the HTC red writing screen.
Normally in this situation I would go back to stock via PL01DIA.zip update in bootloader but I cannot find a viable one for this specific device.
OK, somehow got a working CWM Recovery. But I cannot get any roms to boot past the HTC red writting screen. Does anyone out there have a full CWM backup of a working Cricket rom?

Thanks guys! Sorry for bugging around this forum. Anyone with CDMA ping me, I'm not finding any friends I need a clean back up of any Cricket rom from CWM since it looks like the RUU was never made.
Or, if anyone knows how to change the CID on this phone without S-off. Just looking to make it an MP3 player.

There's only 2 or 3 people with CDMA Desire C's none of them seem to be active here anyway, search for your RUU, maybe a stock Rom will work for you, i'm not sure..
