As I have noticed, many users on this forum have problems finding the right recovery for their phones hboot. Therefore, I decided to clarify a few things and sort the existing recoveries here again.
First of all, if you want to install a recovery, you have to determine the hboot version of your Desire X. To do that, you first shut down your phone, then you hold volume down button and press the power button at once to get into bootloader. There, you can verify the version.
The following is really important:
For hboot version 1.24 and below, you need a recovery made for ICS (Android 4.0).
For hboot version 1.25 and above, you need a recovery made for JB (Android 4.1).
Here I'll list the recoveries again so you can easier distinguish which one you need.
Recoveries for ICS:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2278346 (Official CWM)
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2075212 (neXus Recovery, based on CWM)
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2296517 (PhilZ Touch, CWM based, just use ICS version)
Recoveries for JB:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2099513 (TWRP, just use latest version, for now it is 2.6.3.0)
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2296517 (PhilZ Touch, CWM based, just use JB version)
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39662992&postcount=66 (neXus Recovery, based on CWM - fixed version for JB by atis112)
That's it for now. If you need help on anything, post here please rather than starting a random Q&A thread; me and others can help much quicker then. If you need help, be sure to provide us with your hboot version.
If you find something I should add here, please let me no.
