No you do not. If CWM is working fine for you, that's all you need. Its just user preference.

clockwork recovery or 4ext recovery

I'm thinking about using 4ext recovery, what makes it better and/or different than clockwork recovery?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Different layout style and options, and 4ext has some themes.
Also, not sure is cwm does this, but 4ext aligns the partitions correctly for flash memory to get the best possible speed (analogous to aligning a partition on an ssd to best possible speed).

I guess you are totally a noob in reading as well...
After looking at your profile, I'm not sure if serious or kidding
how about reading the manuals\faqs?

No you don't need to sim unlock it. The only reason you would do that is if you wanted to use it on another network.
Ok and then root it and how to install 4ext?
Edit: can't find desire s on htcdev.com/bootloader which device I need to select?

Most popular recovery?

Hey everyone, i just wanted to know what's the most popular recovery used. Why and why not use it or others. Thanks.

4ext ftw.
Wysłane z mojego HTC Sensation Z710e
TWRP. Fastest and most bug-free recovery for me. (on the downside you need S-off to install kernels with it)
most users are using 4ext
if i am not wrong
4ext is my choice and many others choice also. It's easy to use and has great options.
Sent from my HTC Sensation
Yes 4 EXT also overhere working fine
same here: 4ext
Well then rom manager app renders useless now

4ext. If you're not using that your not playing with the big kids!
Apparently there is supposed to be some exciting changes to it soon also.

I am sold on 4EXT Touch now, used to use CWM
For some reason, 4ext was really buggy and laggy for me so I decided to S-off and install TWRP
4ext touch recovery, I believe there's no discussion about it

It's so easy to use, not tried any others because 4ext has never ever let me down.

I use 4ext on my phone and TWRP on my tablet, and I like both of them.
I use 4EXT Touch Recovery
First flash CMW and then flash 4EXT THE BEST
CWM no contest
4ext from day 1. Hasn't failed me yet. I keep it updated too.
4ext
I think 4ext is the most widely used recovery. SmartFlash makes it stand out.

Wrong section though - you should ask questions like this in General.
BTW, try to re-flash the recovery in Fastboot mode, I've noticed that it's glitchy if boots up only sometimes. I've attached TWRP recovery, u can use it - 100% working.
Thanks!

SOLVED (Help: root my HTC DESIRE S)

im new to htc desire s coz my nexus sold due to financial needed.
Btw i cant find the standard or easy way to root my htcds. Or even ICS update my device info as follows;
BEFORE:
HTC DESIRE S
STOCK ROM
V 2.3.5
S OFF
HBOOT 2.02.0002
Any help would be appreciated.

do you have a custom recovery?

what worked for me is the downgrade of the HBOOT version first...then root
Since you're already S-OFF, this couldn't be easier. Just download 4ext recovery, flash it via fastboot, and find a zip file of Superuser or SuperSU and flash that from within your new recovery.
Thanks guys for response, can you give me a link straight to that so i cant read so many tutorials?
I just want to be rooted

If you're S-OFF, just flash a custom ROM of your choice, and root will come with it.
