Hi guys,
I am using WCX's recovery and I like it very much. I got file from the SuperGuide and I am wondering is there a thread for the WCX Recovery?
I wanna see there's a newer version and/or touch version.
Thank you,
Just have to Google wcx, all his roms and recoveries etc on another website and can not post link here.

If you are S-OFF with CWM and you try to apply the Sense 3.0 OTA then it will fail. If you want Sense 3.0 then check out the Development section stickies. There are plenty of Sense 3.x ROMs to choose from. There is even a stock, rooted 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 ROM built from the official RUU/OTA.
You are better off keeping S-OFF at this point instead of trying to get the official OTA.
Thanks but could you give a link for the Rom you mentioned
P.S. I need a WWE one

If you would go to the Development section you could have looked at this sticky thread and seen all of the different ROMs that are available:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136463
Inside that thread is the ROM you are asking about:

Please be more considerate of the users of this forum and learn how to SEARCH.
OK, I've searched a lot but I cannot clear my mind about this different recovery tools....
Now I have cwm 4.0 but with it I cannot flash miui, cm7/9; so I was thinking about installing 4ext...
Now beging doubts...
1. 4ext touch seems to be 4ext with touch support but many roms doesn't support it, they require 4ext is this correct or 4ext has a backward compatibility?
2. roms that requires cwm can be installed with 4ext/4ext touch?
3. updating cwm to 5 will let me install all roms?
4. for installing 4ext is better to install it by market, installing zip by cwm or putting PG32IMG.zip in sd root and than let it install by fastboot?
5. do I need to partion my sd with a ext4 partition in order to flash miui and cm7/9?
I appreciate every answer, I'm getting crazy about googling and searching in the forum...

Good point! Glad you added that question.
I flashed cm7 with 4ext touch suceeeful

Fortunately I waited for taco root, so I used revolutionary to s-off my IncS!
Sorry I forgot to mention that...
edit: thanks for the info about cm7, since cm9 requires 4ext recovery ( not touch ), I thought that cm7 was the same!

The CM9 here is a kang version and not an official one from the CM team. The user that kanged the source code made his partitions ext4, that's why you need 4EXT recovery.
My wife and I both own raiders, originally from rogers..I s-offed both phones and we've been running the dark raider rom since about version 1.2 with no problems..still using wcx recovery as I haven't had any issues with it.
Our friend liked our phones enough to jump ship from blackberry and went and got a used bell raider running official ics. I unlocked his bootloader successfully, s-off worked like a charm, but here it gets weird.
It boot loops after trying to install ANY custom rom..! I tried 3 different recoveries, all of which failed on kernel install.. tried the old way and fastboot flashed the boot.img and still got boot loops or crash to recovery..I'm not new to these procedures..even had hyuh from juopunutbear irc remote in and try his hand at it with the same results.
I restored from bell ics ruu - phone boots normally. What gives? Did bell modify the hardware??

My buddy has the Rogers Raider (and I have the Bell) and I've done the root/s-off etc. on both of them and there was no difference in workflow needed.
BUT - I think you may have to flash an "insecure" kernel just once to allow your recovery to successfully flash kernels during the ROM install.
Below is the thread where you can download kozmikkick's insecure (aka "stockish") kernel. It's mentioned in the first post of the thread below. Give that kernel a flash (It looks like it is in a ZIP format that you can install via your ClockWorkMod recovery?) then try to flash your desired kernel. If you want to flash the stockish kernel manually, look inside the zip. There is a "holiday.img" file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572015
Also - Not sure if this matters, but I have been using ClockWorkMod v5.5.0.4 recovery and I have been able to flash many roms (and their respective kernels during the rom install)
Good luck!
So, since he's already s-off now and whatnot I can flash the "stockish" kernel you mentioned on his stock rom? Or will I have to try flashing a custom rom along with it? And if so, coming from Bell do you have any rom recommendations? I'm a fan of the dark raider rom personally.

Sorry bout the link.
I'm not sure if it will work with stock... my assumption would be yes because its called "stockish"... but I dont know. I say wait until you're ready to flash a custom rom before you try it. So - flash the stockish kernel (i prefer via fastboot), then reboot right into recovery, then flash rom... and see if it all went ok?
You have the stock Bell RUU, so if anything goes wrong, you can fall back on that.
Right now I'm on the Pure Velocity rom... loving it.
Omg..ok tried the method u posted with kozmik "stockish"..but got looped at boot... But the rom I was installing had an option to install an unsecured at&t stock boot image and that, of all things, did the trick. What u said made me think to try it.

So... after you got that going, were you then able to flash a rom with a custom kernel (all in one shot?)
Yes. After flashing the kozmik "stockish" kernel, then the custom rom, booting and getting as far as "android is upgrading" before boot looping I figured why not flash the entire thing again this time with the proper kernel and it went perfectly. I was using cwm5.5.0.4 for the record..which I'm told is still the best. My friend was happy, and I was just glad it worked this time..I was so confused why the Bell version wouldn't take the software..!
As always, I found the answer right here on XDA. Thanks again!

Hey.
Managed to s-off my HTC incredible s with revolutionary, All works well and no issues. But what are the bennifits of this? Can I flash any rom made for my incS with out fastbooting the boot.img? I'm confused because some roms still don't boot.

Yes with Revolutionary S-OFF you will be able to flash custom ROMs while in recovery without needing to manually flash the boot.img in FASTBOOT mode.
There are several reasons why some ROMs may not boot. If you allowed Revolutionary to install Revolutionary CWM recovery, then that is an older version. You may want to install 4EXT touch recovery instead. In other cases, the ROMs have specific wipe instructions that you must follow before you flash the ROM. If you do not follow them, it could cause issues with the ROM.
If you have problems with specific ROMs, then I would search the ROM's thread to see if others have run into the issue or if more detailed process may have been posted based on users' experiences.
Okay thanks, I don't use clockwork mod I had flashed 4EXTRecovery flashed with recovery.img. I will give a look into into it and play with some roms then get back to you. Thanks

No RUU yet, but there are stock nandroids around here... I'd link but I'm mobile and on the run!
Does that mean that I can flash thosr nandroid ruu and get official updates? How can I flash back to the stock kernel?

Hi

You can get updatesafter flashing those nandroir backups and these backups already has a stock kernel you do not need to flash stock kernel later
