I'm currently running CWM on my INCs, the question is can I run both recovery or I have to uninstall one to use the other.
One or the other.

Hi, I am using IS 4 half year, and I decided to flash this Rom recently. However, I have a few stupid questions and I hope u guys can answer me.
1. What is the tool to wipe my device?
2. Is it ok 4 me to flash the Rom by using '4EXTRecovery v2.1.0 FINAL'
3. When I flash this Rom, am I going to do this through recovery mode or others tool?
Hope u guys understand my English since English isnt my native language.

1. I use arhd's super wipe tool, available from his thread in development section, even for other ROMs and it works fine, or u can do it all manually in recovery.
2. Yes
3. Flash through recovery. Download zip to root of sd card using pc, boot into recovery and follow instructions...simples

I think u need to be s-off before u can root, but I may be wrong. U might aswell s-off as u need this to flash custom ROMs and therefore use ROM manager, as this needs superuser rights which u get with s-off and root.

On the topic of both starter questions and installations, why won't ROMs flash with s-off? What's the big difference between that and s-on and why does one void our warranty with HTC?
(Apologies in advance, if this derails this thread at all.)

You mean why can't we flash ROMs with S-ON! Because this means security on. Basically HTC went and locked their bootloader on most earlier devices and therefore they cannot be hacked. The AlphaRev team have successfully managed to develop a tool to achieve this and enable users to gain root access, install ClockWorkMod recovery (a way of installing custom ROMs and also taking a snap shot of ur current ROM is you mess up and need something to go back to) custom themes etc, etc.
HTC have apparently learnt the error of their ways and promised not to lock the bootloaders in their newer shipped models, however they don't particularly like us messing around with it hence voiding the warranty if you do this...but it is possible to go back to S-ON like nothing ever happened using AlphaRev.
Hope this answers your question, now stick to the topic....
Ha, only joking
Of course I know I need to e-off my device be4 roo/flash rom. What I want to know is : do I need to s-off before using rom manager.

ROM Manger needs root access, so yes you need S-OFF so you can root and install ROM Manager

Until we get an official ClockworkMod Touch recovery, this will do. Everything works except what is mentioned. It should be as stable as standard CWM as that's what it's based off.

Its a "touch" recovery. You can use the screen to make selections rather than using hard buttons

I thumbed through and flashed a few things. No real issues that can see.

It is the latest one, but if you are hearing this from me, install 4ext app on your android device and install 4ext touch recovery with it. I believe 4ext in better that CWM. But it is still your own choice!:good:

Its not "better" because 4ext is basically over cwm... Its just easier to use.

^ Wcx recovery is in version 2.2 as stated. And that is the version I recommend to everyone
Although TWRP 2.6.3.0 seems to be working great for me, might be something to test

Easiest way is to use Flash Image GUI. Free, reliable, what more could you ask.
