WARNING!
ROM Manager does work after you have used this, and has been confirmed by koush (The guy who makes ClockworkMod) but because the app uses flash_image to flash the recovery, if it dosen't have enough memory then it will fail & you will have no recovery so will not be able to boot your phone! (This can be recovered using an RUU in fastboot)
Because of this, it is Highly Recommended that you kill all your apps before using ROM Manager to flash or just avoid it.

Why?

It enables you to have a custom recovery image installed (like Hero or G1) so that you can have access to Recovery anywhere. (& Backup SD EXT)

Can I get Back?

You can get back very easily by using an HTC RUU for your network which you can find here. Or use one of my OpenRUUs for Linux & Mac users. (See the link in my sig)

Requirements:

A Rooted Desire
Patience!
A PC, Mac or Linux (Linux or Mac recommended because you will have no problems with drivers or HTC Sync.)

Downloads:

The correct file for your computer at unrevoked.com/recovery

Instructions:

Windows: (Thanks to BlackLine7)

1) Install the HBOOT driver (take a look at the guide in the zip you just downloaded)
2) Unninstall HTC Sync (leave HTC Driver Installer)
3) Reboot
4) Take your Desire and go to Settings - Connect to PC - Default connection type - Disk drive and remove check from Ask me
5) Connect your Desire
6) Start the reflash.exe in Admin mode
7) Wait (it should take about 1-2 minutes)
8) Done

You can then reinstall HTC Sync if you need it.

If you have problems check you have the drivers installed, or if you really can't get it to work use an Ubuntu live CD from www.ubuntu.com

Linux:

1) With the phone on goto Settings > Connect to PC -> Default connection type -> Disk Drive
2) Uncheck 'Ask me' option then goto Home
3) Download this, extract and double click on Unrevoked.sh and click 'Run in Terminal'.
4) Wait for it to finish...
No messing in terminal required!

Mac:

1) With the phone on goto Settings > Connect to PC -> Default connection type -> Disk Drive
2) Uncheck 'Ask me' option then go back to Home
3) Just run it.

*Looking to expand on Mac, if anyone did it please let us know what you did.*

Check it works:

Power off device.
Load HBOOT ( VOL DOWN + POWER )
Wait for the image check to complete.
Press VOL DOWN to highlight 'RECOVERY' then press POWER to accept.
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.0.1.0 should load.

Or run 'adb reboot recovery' if you know what that means

ok, will this same method work on our HTC EVO??

Can't you just run unrevoked2?

delete thread...

i guess if it is that simple this thread should be deleted...i didn't realize unrevoked 2 flashed roms...just thought it unlocked nand (but obviously i didn't know enough to understand that maybe that is what nand unlocking is for???)
