Installing Recovery
download CMW 5.0.2.7 for ChaCha
Unzip the file
Copy the recovery.img to the work folder "D:\unlock"
in the cmd write:
Code:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
Did he made a mistake or on this way I can install Recovery to flash Custom ROM?
PS. Is the S-OFF equivalent S-ON with unlocked bootloader?
He's typed it wrong cz to flash a recovery u type in cmd fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(by recovery I mean the name of the recovery,it depends on the its name

Look to make it easier for u name the cmw recovery "recovery" but without quotations then put in the the folder where you want to navigate to it in cmd
Ex u put it in folder named roms in drive C
Type in cmd : cd C:\roms then under it is gonna appear:
C:\roms>so type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
That's it!!and don't forget that you have to have the fastboot in the same folder as the recovery

If you have unlocked bootloader and s on then you can edit only system,data and recovery which you need.

I'm little confused now... I thought that I must do three things:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. S-off
3. Root
I did only first step, unlock bootloader. I will install Recovery on the described way... I suppouse that I need to root my phone but, do I need to S-off it?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using xda app-developers app
No no forget s off
Just unlock bootloader,install cmw recovery and root(which means installing super Su from cmw) this thread will help you for rooting after installing recovery so quickly go to step 6 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525404

Desire has it's own forums by the way. SU can be found on xda in lots of places. You can easily flash it via adb:
adb remount
adb push superuser.apk /system/app
adb reboot
That's what most oneclick rooting applications do.
Just let him follow the tutorials,very easy and simple

Since you're already rooted, just download rom manager and flash the custom recovery (clockworkmod)

If your bootloader is unlocked you have to flash the boot IMG separate.

Since it is your first time, I would highly suggest making full nandroid backup of you phone and saving the file elsewhere. So that is something goes horribly wrong you can always revert. RomManager can do the backup I believe, though I use Titanium Backup Pro.

You need adb installed on your computer and phone should be in bootloader and plugged into computer via usb.
Place the recovery (let's call it recovery.img) in the fastboot folder in adb.
Then, in a command prompt navigate to the adb directory on your sd card. For instance, on my computer I have the simple adb install, so I would type
cd C:\adb
fastboot flash recovery.img
I have adb set up on my computer and I place the file in the same folder as fastboot and rename it to recovery.img then I open my command prompt in that window so its already where it needs to be and the I boot my phone into fastboot via adb and I type in the command that's suppose to flash it but it always tells me error unable to load am I missing a step? Do I need it on my SD card? It's driving me crazy I was unable to downgrade bc of this problem to

Make sure you have "Hide extensions for known file types" disabled in windows folder settings. It's possible the name of the file is actually recovery.img.img so you're directing adb to flash a filename that doesn't exist.

I this install like firmware?I know its installed after rooting your phone instead of using clockworkmod there's 4 ext touch recovery which is way better.when you use pg58img.zip to install firmware,radios,etc.what I don't understand are the radios and firmware already in the pg58img.zip or do you have to put then in there.could someone explain my qwestions and kinda of how all this works. Thanks!!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
PG58IMG.zip is a file which can be installed from hboot. It man contain a new hboot, recovery radio etc. Its not a must for it to contain them all, you could have one containing only new radio for example.
Most people do not cook a PG58IMG.zip themselves, rather download a made one. I.e if you download the firmware package from mike's thread you'll get new hboot and Radios etc, but no new recovery iirc.

How do you install from the hboot?what is that procedure done?Do I boot into recovery?If yes then what do I do next.could you please explain installation through the hboot and bootloader the samething.

You should boot while pressing vol down, it will detect the file and ask you to confirm the installation

After I download 4 ext touch recovery do I flash it to my phone like a Rom?4ext touch recovery is the last thing I do when rooting a phone correct?then once that's installed I can flash roms,kernels,etc onto my phone.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio using xda app-developers app
yes ..i presume you are using a rooted rom now
or i suggest you to use the app (get the free one from the site (download to sdcard and then install from sdcard ..by clicking it ) .... or get the paid one from play store )
you can install 4EXT recovery using any of the two app's
EDIT: btw if you have custom rom installed already then you are pre-rooted already
It's for a different phone yes Ian rooted.I'm sorry for the confusion. Thanks!!!

because you are S-ON(i assume i am not wrong)when flashing a rom it hasn't have the ability to flash the boot.img by itself
you have 2 options:
flash 4ext recovery which has the smartflash feature or
flash the boot.img of the rom manually
see here

step 2 for flashing the recovery
extra 1 step for flashing the boot.img

You have to unlock your bootloader and then flash TWRP with fastboot. Then you can flash the supersu bineries. Thatstge way I rooted mine.

If you have bl unlocked just fastboot flash a recovery than a Rom....
