Depends on what you want to do with your phone, if you are fine with running stock rom, don't change it as there is no need for it.
CWM is useful when you use custom roms (both for the flash process/wipes and backups/restore), stock recovery is useful for nothing at all in that case.
So, IOW, if you don't intend on using custom roms, stick with stock recovery, if you intend on using custom roms, get CWM.
Clockwork mod recovery lets you do things like wipe factory data reset, wipe cache, battery status etc.... and can also install roms from zip files. Stock recovery can't do that. Hope I helped Also clockwork mod only works if you are rooted first I belive.
Does this mean i need to use custom rom to get cmw? Can i use cmw in stock? I dont want to flash any custom rom yet but i need cmw to flash theme? Lol

You can flash CWM and use stock but i have no idea why you would, you can't use backup or restore and you'll have no use for it what so ever.
You never need to flash a theme, you install it via market or downloaded .apk, if it's a custom theme you need a theme manager and you'll download and install themes via that manager.
You do NOT need CWM for anything you are trying to do.

You can use cwm on stock.
However, the great function isn't working on stock.
It means, even if you use cwm on stock, it has no difference with original (stock) recovery.

If you are going to use CWM anyway, might as well use custom rom...

I recommend you to try emanoN v5

Faster than stock...
I'm just a noob,

Hi! I have a question. I have the last cmw touch but i cannot do a nandroid backup of the stock rom (2.3.4) because it can't mount system and cache. It's really not possible to make a backup of the stock rom? I'm asking this because i did some modifications like removing preinstalled apps and things like this and a new flash of the rom is not the same for me...

Has been asked a couple of times already.. CWM cannot backup stock rom, only custom roms.. The only way to restore stock rom is Odin method..

Hi i need a setup for restore my htc vivid for AT&T i used the tool kit HTC Vivid All-In-One Toolkit V2.1 for unlock the boot loader. I unlock the boot loader but i try install the flash kernel my cellphone vivid is bricked i need help for install another stock rom or finware ( cellphone bricked in the htc logo help me please )
More information is needed. Did you trying installing a custom rom? Chances are if your stuck at that screen then you need to flash the correct kernel
Take a look at this video I made to help people with this process

i think!! i need finish the setup
i see the video and i think needed install the rom - i unlock the boot loader install the recovery + kernel and i needed install the rom i downloaded for check the cellphone work!!! thanks for the reply
This is for ics ?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using xda premium
Yes I am running ics on the att vivid but all the steps I show in the video can be used for gingerbread such as installing recovery, the kernel and the rom. I just didn't go over how to unlock the bootloader thru HTC dev because it's pretty comprehensive. And updating the hboot is only if your coming from gingerbread and going to ics

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.
Thanks :thumbup:

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

Any ROMs beyond gingerbread, you will need customized HBOOT.

Do we need to make backup for stock hboot
Typing in swift key3 from tiny explorer with ICS
I'm think that black rose can restore old hboot.
There are download links for every hboot for this phone all over xda, a backup should never be needed but just download one if you want one.
