For me the stock phone is almost perfect as is. I'd just like root access to achieve different tasks using Tasker and Secure Settings.
So how can the following be achieved:
1) Root access without CWM Recovery
2) Still receive OTA's
3) Nandroid without CWM Recovery
4) Restore Nandroid without CWM Recovery
The important thing for me is still getting OTA's without having to flash stock recovery etc. Plan on staying stock as long as the OTA's continue.
I'm used to Samsung so the whole HTC rooting process is somewhat alien. Any guidance appreciated.

Use TWRP?
You can fastboot boot CWM, rather than flash it, but you know, it's probably a lot easier to flash the recovery and leave it on there until you need to install the OTA and then just flash stock back recovery.

I'm on mobile so, no, too much hassle.
fastboot boot cwm-recovery.img
Instead of
fastboot flash recovery cwm-recovery.img
But I feel that booting the recovery every time you want to back up or restore is more hassle than flashing stock recovery every OTA.

Okay, I'm not sure anymore what I did but I was using rom manager to wipe data/cache then flash a new rom, purehero for today, like normal but I got some weird error and all I could do really was reboot. I'm not sure why but when it did reboot I was all the way back to official 2.1 with no root. Now I'm stuck without root and with clockwork recovery that I can't flash my nandroid from? Any ideas on how I can either just revert back to the stock recovery so I can flash my nandroid or other ideas? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure you "lost root"? You can't boot into the recovery menu at all? If you lost root, I would suggest going through the root process for 2.1. Without root, you're pretty much screwed.

If you are back to official stock 2.1, why not just go through the rooting process again from the beginning?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
But instead of pushing that included recovery.img to your phone (#4 in Step 9), perhaps you could push your Clockwork recovery image instead? I see no reason why that wouldn't work, but I haven't actually tried it myself so good luck.
Here's the thing, no Su app in drawer, terminal emulator says access denied if I type Su. Also my computer us down so whatever I do must be done directly from my phone. Now my phone is laggy as hell so I either need a way to swap recoveries as is so I can nandroid, it basically a way to run the stock ruu using only the phone. Any ideas?

RUU to the .5 version. Then root. Then do whatever you want.
Hello:
I justed unlocked my nexus one for the first time. i was successful in unlocking it, but after flashing my phone with the recovery image: recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img, i'm getting a triangle with an exclamation sign.
did i use the wrong recovery image? what i'm i doing wrong?
anyhelp?
Thanks
DoN
ps: i got my recovery image here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611829
well this is because your stock Android is still pointing to the stock recovery,
There are two ways of overcoming the problem you have,
Step 1 would be to flash recovery again
Step 2 would be to boot the phone into recovery (without booting into the stock OS) after completing step 1 and flash a custom ROM or you need to delete a few files.
Instructions for deleting the files can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000357
Hope this helps.
To get into your custom recovery without booting, just follow the on phone menu options, BOOTLOADER then RECOVERY. Once in recovery, flag this, and it will delete the two files that restore stock recovery:

Is it possible to flash a recovery without using ADB? Possibly directly from the phone using the terminal? I have my phone at work on a computer without ADB, and my phone has its bootloader unlocked but has not been rooted.

Short answer is no...
Unlocking the bootloader allows you to use fastboot, which requires connection to a computer. On phone methods require root access...
If you have a usb cable you could do it from your works computer (all you need install is the driver).

Just use Rom manager and first flash an old version of clockworkmod, which is located on the bottom of the app. After that flash amon ra recovery which is the option above the clockworkmod option.

He can't use rom manager due to fact that he does not have root.

So I've had a nexus one for a while now, and recently I decided to root it. I managed to unlock my bootloader and flash clock work recovery. I then made a stupid mistake of trying to flash a rom before rooting my phone or backing up my rom. When I power on my phone now it just freezes on the boot animation. The only thing I can do is access recovery. What is the easiest way to root my nexus one in this condition or is there anyway of flashing a rom, hence fixing it? Preferably from a Mac but I may be able to get access to windows or linux. Thanks in advance

Turn off your phone, pop your SD card in your comp and copy the su.zip into it. Pop it back into your phone, boot into recovery and flash it on. Voila, root access!
Then wipe cache, dalvik-cache and all those and reflash the ROM again. You should be good to go.
BTW. I hope you are flashing a ROM which needs a stock HBOOT. Coz for JB ROMs, custom HBOOT is needed. Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the help! Do you know of any JB or ICS roms that do not require a special HBOOT? And where is the download for the su.zip you mentioned? Thanks a lot
All newer ROMs have a larger system partition requirement, why not flash an older gingerbread ROM that doesn't require black rose until you get the hang of flashing.
You don't need to flash superuser or busy box or anything first, just wipe all in recovery, flash ROM (plus anything else needed like gapps) reboot

@demkantor is right. Basically you don't need su.zip coz most ROMs will have that flashed in already. I think the problem you were facing was because you did not wipe your cache/dalvik-cache and data before flashing on the ROM.
hello,
would you be so kind to help me remove cwm and install stock recovery?
I tried to flash own recovery with All-In-One as well as through command line
I cleaned cache but there is always cwm as 'recovery'...
could you help me with that
regards
You need to flash the stock one as you did when you flashed CWM in the first place

You could try and flash the correct firmware.zip or a Stock Rom Reset
Don't think you can just flash a stock recovery without flashing an RUU or indeed one of the resets.
Don't understand why you would want to though...

Yeah you can. Find the stock recovery you want (pull it from a decrypted ruu zip for example) and flash it like any other recovery. Make sure ur bootloader's unlocked first.

Well, I can bet I tried this already and after flashing stock recovery and booting into bootloader I had initial cwm screen and then cwm is freezing (no menu)...
Is it important to do any specific action after flashing stock recovery?

If you had the recovery.img pulled from the RUU and you STILL have CWM after flashing, then either flashing went wrong or the recovery.img is NOT a stock recovery.
After flashing the stock recovery there shouldn't be anything with CWM anymore.
I recently rooted my sprint htc one (not very pleasant since I had to wipe my whole phone). I have installed TWRP and I am running the stock HTC ROM 4.06.651.4 and have root access. I keep getting the alert for an update from sprint about the 4.06.651.9 update. I cannot install since it takes me to TWRP if I try to install it. Is there a way to install this update without completely wiping my phone again? If so how?

You can flash the stock recovery and download on the phone and install, then when all done, flash TWRP and re-root, thats only if you lose it of course.
Stock recovery: https://www.mediafire.com/?3kwe7hiq9qeusdb
Just flash via fastboot flash recovery Stock_recovery.img
Then install OTA
then flash TWRP again, this should work, as I have done it before.
But not if you have a hotspot hack...
We do need a stock/rooted/hotspothacked 4.06.651.9 build that we can flash via fastboot.
Thank you, that worked perfectly! I am now rooted with stock ROM and 4.06.651.9 without losing any content.

You can try flash image GUI, it's free here on the forums or you have to pay in the play store. I use that to flash twrp recoveries, I don't see how it wouldn't work with stock.
