Hi,
I was having custom ROM in my DS and revolutionary recovery.
I just flash stock ROM using ruu. Now I lost my root and recovery. I can't reinstall root using usual methods. Can someone help me to show how to reinstall root and recovery.

I have an inspire that I got T-mobile working on it and after I rooted the phone i didn't flash it to a custom rom. So now I want to get ClearDroid in it, but when I tried to go to ROM manager there wasn't a pop-up saying there's an update for clockworkmod recovery.
Now I don't know how to get clockworkmod installed. I've tried looking in the forums for solutions but still no luck. I also want to know if I did something wrong with the rooting.
I would really appreciate the help.
Wel can you tell me what the first entry is in your rom manager? Mine is flash clockwork recovery. Give that a go and see if it works for you.
What root method did you use? I used ACE HACK KIT and if I recall it put a clockwork recovery on my device.
Spark is correct...hack kit does add a clockwork recovery. Start adb and type adb reboot recovery to boot into it. Or, install Droid explorer on your pc and click tools, install custom ROM.

I used Bubby's simple root program. It's weird tho because I first used it on another inspire and I was able to root it and flash it to another ROM. The second time I rooted on a different inspire(the one with the T-mobile) I can't flash it to a different ROM.
I've confirmed with root checker that the phone is rooted and I was thinking if it's advisable if I should root it again.
One more thing when I tried to go into boot mode and there was an orange blinking light. I just took out the battery and got it working again. What I heard is that it could be a sign of semi-bricking the phone.
Might be best to flash back to stock using the RUU in Bubby's one click, however, you may lose the ability to use T-mobile. I'll think about it after I get some sleep.

You could try a ruu, after that your back to full stock (s-on included) or you run the ruu without attached device, don't close the first window and search for the rom.zip file, copy the zip to another folder, open the zip, remove everything except the recovery.img rename the zip to PG88IMG.zip and flash it within the bootloader or flash the image itself with fastboot.
But btw, i'm not sure if you need stock recovery for the ota update.

Using cwm recovery I didn't manage to install the ota update....You are awesome I did it!
So I'm helping my friend root his 4g slide (Having lots of experience doing this for the last year) but here's my problem. Everytime i go into recovery and install the new rom. On the reboot it begins to load up the new rom, then flashes over to the old stock rom. No matter how many times i do it or with different roms this happens. And when the stock rom loads i do not have root access, however recovery stays installed. I'm dumfounded by this and have searched as best i can with little results on this issue. Anyone have any Idea's?
You have Clockwork Recovery, but no root access on your Stock Rom. What I can think of is...
1) Your only Temp Rooted
2) Your S-On
3) You did all the rooting steps, but forgot to flash the Superuser Zip with Root access on it.
4) If you flash a ROM, but when it reboots your on the Stock DS Rom. Your S is on. This stops you from over writing the System. It does a check against the System to make sure that it's running the Stock Rom.
Just simply get S-Off. Very easy. Freevo is only a Temp Root. Revolutionary is the S-Off. You have to flash the SU Zip for full root access. This is all I can think of.
Try formatting system under mounts and storage in recovery.

Under was right. The boot showed it as s off with the s off boot version, wiping the system fixed it. Thank you very Mich gentleman.

can ext recovery be flashed over cmw by fastboot command??
i think yes
Yes, it can.
I was S-OFF, Hboot 0.98.x, don't remember, REVOLUTIONARY with CWM installed.
I was running rooted rom (2.10.401.9 pre-rooted with SuperUser). I downloaded an installed 4ext utility. Ran it, the utility itself flashed 4ext recovery.
No problem at all. I am using it to this day.
I'm htcdev unlocked, I was having same thoughts. Emailed the dev and he explained that it will just overwrite cwm. Ran it, installed latest touch and havnt looked back
sent from the thing I stab with my finger when I get two minutes
Yes it can I just did that couple of days ago

I think this one is not compatiable with another recovery, so don't flash this one again.
can you flash it via fastboot.
You can indeed flash ext4 over CWM it will just overwrite. It works the other way around too.

Looking for help here. I have a butterfly X920d.
I received an update for 1.19.707.1 yesterday and I updated it. The problem is I have TWRP installed.
So now when the main update package (1.19.707.2) is downloaded and reboots to continue installation, it always reboots into TWRP instead of installing it.
I have tried to flash 1.12.707.1 RUU but it always end up in error 43 (FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail), upon research tells me that it is incompatible with the 1.19.707.1 I have recently updated.
To perform the above action, I locked the bootloader, which introduce a new problem. When the 1.19.707.2 reboots to install, it is stuck at the HBoot/Fastboot screen. It remain there until I manually reboot it.
In a summary;
In 1.12.707.1, installed TWRP and rooted
Got an OTA update for 1.19.707.1, download and run it, while rooted
1.19.707.1 installed properly
Phone begins to download and install 1.19.707.2
Upon restart to complete, installation stuck in TWRP screen
Relocked phone and tries to flash 1.12.707.1 RUU to return to stock
Error 43 (FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail) in fastboot RUU flash
Restarted process 4, but now instead of booting to TWRP, it is stuck in Fastboot
I'm thinking, as the update process does not support TWRP recovery, it is stuck in 1.19.707.1
As I have locked the bootloader, TWRP is unable to start. Would unlocking it again via unlock.bin softbrick my phone?
Is there any help or guide to help me get out of this spiral of misery?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: is there anyway to flash just the stock recovery to replace twrp instead of the whole RUU?

@Bassie39, should I use recovery from 1.12 or 1.19?
Thanks
Depends on which version your are running now

It is strange that 1.19.707.1 did not overwrite my TWRP recovery during the initial upgrade.
It is strange but you can try to flash recovery yourself

Woah, took the dive, went in and emerged successfully.
Thanks to the advice from @Bassie39, I reflash my recovery from 1.19.707.1 (link) [Please read the instructions to get the correct files.]
I had to unlock my device before flashing the recovery due to relocking it earlier. Same old story, all of the data was wiped.
Summary of my steps.
Flash stock recovery.img, extracted from 1.19.707.1 RUU
Reboot phone
1.19.707.2 installed succesfully from OTA
2.33.707.3 updated as well upon reboot
Reflash TWRP 2.6
Root using busybox
SuperSU not working in 4.2.2 (probably leftovers from the previous root)
Downloaded SuperSU and flashed in recovery
Root and Titanium backup working finally
Those who are having the same issue, you need not relock your device. Just flash stock recovery, and the OTA is good to go.
After that, flash TWRP and root if you like.
Relock is indeed not necessarily only stock boot.img and recovery.img

Got the impression that lock was required for flashing stock recovery from other forums.
With my dlxu it works fine stock ota runs oke and bootloader still open
