I used the program in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=903598

but I could only get Sunaabh working with it. Sunaabh and a couple of other patches like the 4 in 1 reboot and the desire adblock package.

Does anyone else have better knowledge than myself who can analyse the scripts this program outputs to get Wildpuzzle, Openfire etc. working?

As far as I can tell it should be a case of changing a few lines but I don't know much about scripting.

Whenever I tried Wildpuzzle it just stayed at the green HTC logo for 10 minutes without changing. How long did you have to wait before it changed to the custom boot animation?

I dont know, but you need to go to options> mount type and put wildfire, in file open the zip and then save, no need to set sign zipe file or batch mode.

That's what I did. Starting to wonder if my ext and cache partitions on my sdcard are having any effect.

So flash the rom this way: Go to rom manager and push "Flash clockworkmod recovery" then reboot to recovery and chosse "apply sdcard: update.zip" (the first option) and you you will go back to the old clockwork mod version (just temporarily, if you reboot recovery he will go back to new one ) and there you flash the rom normalhy, for me worked that way

Hello,

I have compiled two new recovery images for us from source.

ClockworkMod
The first one is ClockworkMod v3.0.0.5, based on the new Gingerbread sources. It is NOT an official ClockworkMod build and is NOT perfect. Do not bother koush about it, he will ignore you.
This recovery has a new font suited for our low resolution screen, and features orange text, as well as some nice new features. It's generally an improvement over the old ClockworkMod we have.

Download ClockworkMod v3.0.0.5

Amon_RA
I have also compiled us Amon_RA recovery based on his v2.0.0 sources. Again this is neither official nor perfect. Don't bother Amon_RA, he will probably ignore you too.

Download Amon_RA recovery here.

General info:
Both recoveries are reported to have bugs with sd-ext mounting, but other than that they seem to work okay.

Devs: It is worth noting that ClockworkMod 3.x only supports installing ROMs using Edify, (i.e. updater-script and binary), and not Amend (update-script). This is because Google actually got rid of Amend in cupcake. This DOES break installation of Sense ROMs, and so I advise devs to try out this recovery and try to move to the Edify method. Everybody else, be patient in the meantime.

You can flash either recovery using unrevoked (select custom recovery image), or using fastboot when we get S-OFF from AlphaRev (still waiting )

Feel free to contact me if you are having trouble, but I will probably only help you out if you are a dev (for now anyway).

Have fun

Try any other CWM recovery, there you just need the power button and the volume rockers!
