as the title, my phone couldnt get into adb to get s-off
You need either HTC Dev unlock
or revolutionary s off to flash a custom ROM
That's the simple explanation

You can
And make sure you fast boot flash your boot.img as well
Sent from my Nexus 7
If you're unlocked through htc dev, just flash custom recovery (4ext touch recommended) and you can flash custom roms after that.
Just make sure to flash boot.img through adb as said by mark. Always do this after flashing new rom when you are s-on.

Every time you flash a new ROM or kernel you need to open up the zip of the new ROM and fast boot flash it, otherwise it probably wont boot unless there is a similar kernel already

If you use the app to install recovery, make sure to extract the recovery.img file in the downloaded zip and manually flash that through fastboot. Only have to do this while s-on

Hey,
I want (well not want, it's necessary) to change from CWM to 4ext recovery touch. i donwloaded the 4ext recovery updater, flashed the recovery from the app and rebooted to recovery. still there is cwm. i tried again with the classic version of 4ext recovery but the result remains the same.
i'd be glad if anyone can help me.
regards
If I'm not mistaken they are integrated..... Synergy!!!!!
i don't know what you're trying to say. my point is that 4ext recovery does not start when it should start. instead cwm is starting.
I'm trying to say that 4ext recovery is integrated into your cwm recovery to allow for 4ext partitions and backwards compatibility to 3ext. If the recovery isn't working you haven't told me that your original h-boot is 2.0000.
yeah right, i didn't told you that.
thanks for your help anyway. i managed to get it working by myself through flashing it via fastboot.
Good to hear no problem.
I am having the same problem. May I know what you mean by flashing using fastboot?

I asume you somewhat know how to use fastboot or read up on it. Havent flashed through fastboot for some time now but I think the line would be "fastboot flash recovery recoveryfile.img"

Just my 2 cents,but you can't install core Droid with 4ext, so I have to wonder at it's advantage over cwm.?

Hi,
I don't know how you solved this, but I had exactly the the same problem with an HTC Desire, can't upgrade to 4ext from CWM v2.5.0.7.
In my case, I solved it by running unrevoked again, but specifying the 4Ext recovery image. (I used the 4Ext app on the phone to download the appropriate .zip to the SDCard, then transferred it to the PC and extracted it there.)

Just came along this thread by accident.
Just for reference:
This is nonesense
4ext recovery has nothing to do with cwmr and they are not integrated.
You need to be s-off to be able to flash a recovery from inside your rom.
In the case you are not s-off, just download (or install) the recovery via recovery control/updater.
It will prepare your recovery config, but it cannot effectively update the recovery partition when you are not s-off.
So after you did that, you need to flash it manually.
You will find the recovery.img you tried to install or downloaded via recovery control in your sdcard's download folder.
Hello guys, today I changed the hboot of my N1 using a zip file taken from the joelshawdow thread (this is not the first time that i do this operation!!) and unfortunately I forgotten to wipe everything except the sdcard;now,when I go into the 4ext recovery, it said to wipe the system partition but it stuck into the operation without complete it!..if i try to install a zip from sdcard, 4ext seems to start the installation but doesn't display any information of the installation and seems to be blocked!
Can someone help me please? Thank you so much!

How did you root your phone? If you're just HTC unlocked you need to flash boot.img via fastboot.

He is probably s-on cause all he does is unlock via htcdev. Boot.img is in .zip of the rom you tried to install.
Hi, I am new to this thus I wanted to know a few question.
1)If i want to update my current CMW to a latest version, can i just flash it again? "adb flash recovery cwm.img" using the adb again with the latest .img file? I do not want to use rom manager.
2)How can I just flash TWRP also if i have a CMV installed already?
Yes you can Flash the new File trough adb. Flash twrp the Same way. New recovery will replace old one.

Hi, I'm a new user.
I just unlocked my bootloader, and I was looking to put a custom Rom on my device .
But wherever I look , I can't find a custom recovery.
Can you introduce some custom recoveries to me.
Oh and I don't know how to put a custom recovery on my phone too,so I need some help with this too. =))
Ps: I don't want to root my phone.
I will be thankful if you help me.

(I suggest 4EXT)
To flash one of them, rename the IMG file to recovery, place it into your fastboot folder, boot into bootloader(fastboot mode) open command prompt navigate to your directory
Command to flash is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG"
Hope this helps

You have to unzip the file. But, root is required.

The preliminary steps are to unlock bootloader (which I assume he has done that or if he is on HBOOT 1.13.0000, then use Revolutionary to S-OFF and then flash custom recovery and root), flash ClockworkMod recovery, then flash a superuser.zip to obtain root.
There's a guide made by myself in my signature so check it out. If you still need help, post back.
