Updated to the latest version, 4ext Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC9
EDIT: No need to rename it now, just download and put on sdcard.
Edited because some people could not get it to work because renaming it was the hardest thing in the world :banghead:
All credits to Madmaxx for this great recovery....
Download PB99IMG.zip and put it on the root of ur sdcard (not in a folder) and then with ur phone off hold volume down + power. ur bootloader will look for the PB99IMG then ask u if u want to update recovery, volume up for YES, it will then ask you to reboot device, volume down for NO. Once its finished u now have 4ext recovery and just use volume buttons to navigate to recovery then press power button to enter recovery. I have tried it myself and it works, its the exact same method to install as Alpharev's hboots via PB99IMG.
Dont forget u must be S-OFF lol
Dont forget to delete it off sdcard once ur done or u will get asked to update everytime u enter bootloader

(Also u can extract the PB99IMG.zip file and flash recovery.img via fastboot commands or android flasher)
phone asks to update, i have to start it with vol-up, but i have a little problem: my vol up button doesn't work, is there any other solution to start?

Hi guys. I tried all the instructions, but the problem persists .... I have PVT4 S OFF .... zip file will be installed through the bootloader but nothing changed and the desire to restart the htc logo .....
not sure what ya mean. the phone shouldnt boot unless u pressed reboot. once u have PB99IMG.zip on ur sdcard, hold volume down + power then bootloader will find PB99IMG and ask update recovery? volume up for yes, once its complete it asks u reboot device? press volume down for no then u will stay in bootloader menu and then press volume down to navigate to recovery n press power button to enter recovery. simples
i have tried it myself coz i wouldnt post it otherwise

i unpacked your zip file and installed the recovery.img via fastboot commands, but this didn't work, i still have the bootloops!
When in recovery did u do a full wipe? then reinstall the rom? Also make sure u have partitioned ur sdcard to whatever the dev recommends and have the correct hboot for that rom aswell

I've got a problem which is similiar,
The Desire was rooted once through alpharev, custom romed and used for a couple of days. Afterwards the rom was crap and the user decided to get back to 2.2. I don't know how the user installed 2.2 stock froyo but it was up and running again.
Now Root is wanted again, so i installed CWM 5.0.2.0 through fastboot, i can access CWM but as i select a feature like for example "wipe data/factory reset" or "reboot system now" only the background of CWM persists and the blue menu vanishes.
Returning to normal mode just through pulling the battery.

Do i need to install another recovery like CWM Touch oder 4Ext? Any conclusion to this problem?

I would recommend 4ext recovery personaly. Anyway download the PB99IMG and rename it to just "PB99IMG.zip" put the PB99IMG.zip on ur sdcard, boot into bootloader (vol down + power) and it will ask to update recovery, vol up for YES then it will ask to reboot device, vol down for NO. Then boot into recovery. Check if the rom is on ur sdcard by selecting install from sdcard. Let me know what it says.
Or u can download a new rom of ur choice by searching Desire Android Development, if u do choose a new rom let me know what coz ul more than likely have to partition sdcard and change hboots.

Thank u for the quick reply. I'll try 4ext instead of cwm, but iam a little bit confused what the difference may be.
Iam familiar with rom installing and sdcard formatting with ext partition for more space, i just cannot install any rom.zip because the recovery doesn't let me access its features.

Hello,
Does anyone know how I can root mij HTC desire with stock android 2.3.3 ROM without using the volume buttons (they're broken). I've tried the unrevoked method, but it doesn't work on 2.3.3. I can't try revolutionary because I'll have to use the volume buttons in the boot menu to root.
So... does anyone has a solution?
Thanks in advance!
anyone?

U root the phone by flashing superuser.zip file in recovery. My thinking is get s-off (revolutionary) and install CWM recovery through revolutionary then download rom manger (even tho its not recomended, but is fine for basic use) and u can use that to boot into recovery coz ur volume buttons dont work and u cant do it bootloader way.

Did u even read my posts?? U install cwm recovery through revolutionary. When u run revolutionary it will ask to install cwm... Type yes or Y, whatever it says then once thats all complete u will be s-off and have cwm recovery installed. Then download rom manager and use that to boot into recovery and use trackpad to navigate and select. That way u can flash superuser.zip and after all that u will be s-off & rooted.

Ok here's an update. I've done everything step by step. The S-OFF process worked and I've flashed CWM recovery with revolutionary. There's only one problem, I can't acces recovery mode via ROM manager. It keeps giving me the error: "An error occured while attempting to run privileged commands!". Does anyone has a solution?
Edit: Don't you have to be rooted to use ROM manager to reboot into recovery?
Edit: Nevermind, I did it using adb. Thanks all!

So to clarify. You tried to flash the CWM5 recovery.zip from CWM3 recovery, but it failed? You could try to fastboot flash the recovery.img from your computer. Also, are you S-On or S-Off?
To reboot into recovery connect to computer and from cmd type "adb reboot bootloader."

Take a look at your bootloader info. If it show 'ace pvt __ s-off, means that it is s-off.

S-OFF went fine (I can see that my phone is now S-OFF) but when it tried to install Clockworkmode recovery, it failed. Short message appeared for few second and there was written something like this:

Can you give me some advice what to do know and what happened?

And one more question. I haven't unlocked bootloader before that because I haven't seen any ***LOCKED*** when I pressed volume "down + power button". Have I messed something?
Now my HBOOT changed to 6.93.1002 (from 0.9.0001)

Im not sure why the recovery installation failed, but based on the fact that the s-off went successfully everything should be fine.
I would recommend installing 4ext recovery. Its overall a better recovery for the desire, and the process of installing it is easier.
Download the apk on to your phone from here :http://www.4ext.net/
Then just install the apk, and and download + flash recovery...I dont remember the exact process, but you should be able to work it out since everything is done through the app itself rather than fastboot and whatnot.
Another way to install it is to put this zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751258 (dont rename it), onto the root of your sd card. Then boot into hboot (power+volume down) and wait a few seconds. It should find the PB99IMG.zip and ask if you want to install it. Select yes using volume up, and once its done reboot.
Thank you for assistance.
I've been searching on the internet for many hours and I was decided to use Unrewoked to root + instal Clockw.. But you recommend me 4ext which (I suppose) requires root. But I wanted to use unrewoked because it looks very easy to use. Would you recommend me some other simple way to achieve root? Because 4ext looks really good (I red about it before).
Btw, then how do I launch 4ext when I want to use it? It app, so I won't use "Vol. down + power", right? But then how can it install some ROM, backup,... when it's app which is launched AFTER android boots up?

you dont need to use unrevoked. Its probably better to install 4ext recovery, then flash a root zip in recovery (This will give you root).
You dont need to have root to install recovery-you just need s-off. Also the app isnt the recovery...it just installs the recovery and allows you to change settings and stuff. To launch recovery, you boot into hboot and select recovery. (nothing to do with the app)
This is what you need to do to install 4ext and root the phone (its pretty easy):
-Download this root file and put it on your sd card: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip
-read the instructions in my last post to see how to install 4ext
-boot into hboot and choose recovery
-once 4ext is loaded choose install zip from sd card
-find the zip that you downloaded earlier and install it
-reboot the phone. You should see a superuser app in your app drawer.
Done. But 4ext shows me some message which I have to admit I don't understand. Can you explain it to me, please?
ATTN: recovery is in safe mode this is because the following partition is not accessible: "system"
Please enter the wipe menu and format system!
If you changed hboot you should choose to format all partitions (except sdcard)
Afterwards please reboot recovery.

ok so you dont need to install the app then.
The error isnt much of an issue...i get it sometimes too.
Try deleting the 4ext folder from the sdcard.
So you flashed the root zip as well?
So I have to update 4ext manualy wia .zip files? Where can I get them?
And if I can continue, can you explain me something? For exaplne one unnamed ROM has this req: Root + S-OFF (STOCK HBOOT)
I have Root + S-OFF but stock HBOOT is irelevant. What is stock HBOOT? Mine has changed when I S-ON -> S-OFF (0.93.0001 -> 6.93.1002)

Ok at this point everything is done with updating 4ext...forget about that. It is installed.
Have you ever flashed an hboot? Im guessing that you havent. In this case, you can just continue with flashing the rom of your choice.
Just make sure that before you flash the rom you go to the wipe menu in recovery and choose Format all partitions except sdcard.
Which rom are you flashing? Some roms require you to have an sd-ext partition and will not work unless you have one.
I would like to try for example this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131790
I've choosen this one because it requires a bit more that just download and install so I can learn more right away.
"Required: at least 512MB ext4 sd-ext partition"

So what about that HBOOT number? It will change everytime I wipe some ROM and install new one? Otherwise I don't understand which version of HBOOT I need.

So what about that HBOOT number? It will change everytime I wipe some ROM and install new one? Otherwise I don't understand which version of HBOOT I need.

Ok this is a good rom, its what i use. All you need to do is follow this guide :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37383522#post37383522 (Use the 4ext method and start at step 4)
Then flash the rom (full wipe, then flash), and once the rom has booted open terminal emulator and type these commands (press enter after each line):
su
a2sd install
y
n
y
Your hboot version wont change unless you flash a new one. For this rom you dont need a different hboot...stock is fine. Im using this rom right now with stock and it awesome.

If you have not changed your hboot anytime earlier then you are on stock hboot. The ROM should work just fine on stock hboot. Hboot doesnt change everytime you install new ROM.
You also need a ext4 partition and make sure you partition your sd card correctly using 4ext recovery or gparted.
It's working. Thank you both guys especialy chromium96 who saved me at the begining
One more question. When I type a2sd install and do move dalvik cachce to sd card, will it be removed when I click on "wipe dalvik cache" in 4ext? Because it's moved away.

when you wipe dalvik cache it will be rebuilt on the next boot.
I meant situation when you type a2sd install and write Y to allow relocate dalvik cache to sd card. This is what I've meant. If 4ext can wipe dalvik cache when it's relocated on sd card and not in phone memory.
