Why not just use twrp 2? You can install it using goo manager.

I believe Goo Manager requires the phone already be rooted, as does the 4EXT app which installs that recovery, and it sounds like you aren't rooted yet. You won't be able to root your phone or flash a custom rom until you have installed a custom recovery.
Make sure you are in the bootloader on your phone with "fastboot usb" showing before you try to flash a recovery.img. It's also good to confirm that your drivers are installed correctly and your PC can see the phone by issuing the "fastboot devices" command, which should give a response with the serial number of your phone beginning with "HT". Once you have your initial custom recovery installed and you root the stock ROM or flash a pre-rooted ROM, you can change recoveries with apps like 4EXT and Goo Manager.

If you don't have a bootable ROM flashed, you will need to start your bootloader (remove/replace battery, then hold VolumeDown+Power until the bootloader starts) and then boot into recovery from there. Have you tried that? If that doesn't work your recovery didn't flash sucessfully and you need to try it again, perhaps with another custom recovery.

Is there a newer CWM (currently using 4) for those of us stuck with HBOOT 1.5?
And if so, where can I find it? I've searched but every recovery I try won't work with this crappy HTC Method.

Have you tried TWRP? I'm htc unlocked 1.5 and it works fine for me. Try that or have a look at this.

In theory, the only issue should be HTC not unlocking the boot partition while booted in the standard recovery mode.
I'm s-off with revolutionary, but curious, what about the custom recovery's don't work for you? What error messages do the custom recovery's provide?

I can't install the latest CWM Recovery. That is the main issue. I'm stuck with an outdated version. If I try to load it via Rom Manager, after trying to boot into recovery, i get the splash screen, a black screen, then the phone reboots. I've tried to pull it from the CWM website and flash it via fastboot and the same thing happens. Is there something that has to be modified for recovery to work when unlocked via the HTC method?
Is there a version of the latest CWM 5.0.2.0 that will work with the HTC unlock method on hboot 1.5? Anyone? Anyone?
I am on hboot 1.5 and have been able to flash different recoveries fine. So far I have used TWRP 1 & 2. You should be able to flash via bootloader which includes adb commands sent from cmd on your PC.
You need:
Android SDK (Install from Android site)
HTC ADB Drivers (should install automatic..if not google and find and install)
Put your desired .img (recovery) into the folder where ADB.EXE exists (android-sdk sub-directory)
Reboot into bootloader---->fastboot
RUN THIS COMMAND FROM YOUR PC WITH THE PHONE ATTACHED VIA USB CABLE cd c:/******* fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
where ******* is the path to ADB.EXE (same folder as .img file and ADB.EXE)
for example cd c:/android fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
i am goin through a really big problem! i was trying to permanently root my phone! but during the revolutionary step it says hboot 1.40.0000 or 1.30.0000 it says 1.40.0000 and it also says it is not supported yet! please help me!
Hi,
you dont need S-OFF for evrything. If you cannot S-OFF,
still you can flash roms, and do most of the things without a problem,
Only thing is you cannot just install custom roms using the recovery menu.
You need to download and installed Android Framework tools and fastboot in your PC to fire ADB Dos commands to your phone via USB to flash the updates.
Let me know.

You can flash ROMs through recovery on S-on too and it will work fine as long as the new ROM contains the same kernel as your current kernel. And if it contains another kernel use flash Image GUI app or fastboot command to flash tha kernel.
Provided your bootoader is unlocked via www.htcdev.com

Most of the time, ROMs does not have the same kernal,
So most of the users who are s-on and new to flashing get stuck on boot loops. Other thing is flash image gui app is a paid application
So best way is to use fastboot commands to flash the kernal after installing the ROM zip file
Cheers..
You could update to hboot 1.50, use the HTCDev unlock and use the Wiretrick to get s-off
Hi, i've a evo gsm unlocked with s-on hboot version 1.49.0012. I had flash the stock ICS ROM, but after reboot it will boot loop. I've tryed to flash boot.img via fastboot but it get <wait for device>. I must to disable fastboot from the phone? But how? Now i can access only in recovery mode. Help me!
download 4ext recovery from here. extract it in the folder where you have adb/fastboot files on your pc. then flash it like you flashed your previous recovery.
now boot into 4ext recovery and turn on smartflash in options. now flash rom you wont need to flash boot.img manually
thanks for the reply. There is a way for flash the 4ext via SD card? Actually i have revolutionary CWM recovery
yes you can but you'll need a rooted rom for that which actually boots. you're currently stuck without a rom so you need to get a rom to boot.
you dont by any chance use windows 8? it has some issues with drivers and establishing adb connection to phone
ok i've install 4ext via fastboot, but nothing it start and appear black screen after htc splash screen. After it reboot. Why??
i've hboot 1.49.0012 and i'm s-on. I want come back original ROM, how i can do? I must have s-off?? Please help me

Enable smartflash in recovery and try again. Oh, and make sure you wipe everything except sd card before flashing

you should always make a nandroid backup of your current rom before flashing a new one so you can return if anything goes wrong. right now there are a couple of choices you can make. you can either flash a rom which works with your hboot or you can RUU back to stock.
If you want to run an RUU then you need to relock your bootloader first. boot into fastboot and type "fastboot oem lock" in cmd. then run RUU.
if you wish to install a different rom then first of all change your recovery to 4ext
extract zip file and flash recovery.img like you flashed cwm recovery. then boot into recovery and turn on smartflash in options (this is important as you are s-on. this will flash boot.img for you)
after that wipe everything except sdcard and flash a sense based rom
I don't think you can run ruu. 1.58 hboot is from the latest update, and afaik the ruu will only work on phones that did not take that update, unless you were s off.
You need to flash a stock Rom such as harmonia.
You may need to flash boot.IMG through fastboot to get out of bootloop.
And yes, you should definitely install 4ext recovery, and make sure smartflash is enabled

Make sure the 4ext recovery.IMG is the only recovery.IMG in your SDK tools folder.

Hi guys. I have a really weird problem especially cause I have successfully done ruu.exe many times without any problems. But now my evo won't boot even after ruu.exe finished succeffully, have tried multiple times. Just to mention that months before I did this ruu, I've installed a custom kernel "MiRaGe" and everything was good, till a couple days ago when I tried to boot into 4ext recovery and it didn't boot at all, tried 3-4 times, no luck, but the rom was working fine. (I haven't tried to boot to 4ext since installing a custom kernel) Now I relocked my phone to install ruu.exe, it finished successfully, but can't boot now. I have also unlocked bootloader again and have flashed recovery and still couldn't boot to recovery. Then I relocked and did ruu.exe again, but still no luck with booting to rom. Also I've tried factory reset in bootloader after finishig ruu.exe and the same thing.

Well, go into fastboot and unlock the bootloader again, install 4ext recovery (if you cant find the img file I can help you) and install any rom based on sense which will work on hboot 1.53.

Yeah and I've tried "fastboot boot recovery.img" command to boot to recovery, it was success but again the phone restarts. And just to mention that I've also tried cwm recovery but the result is the same.
I suppose that my evo is a true brick now :/

Try 4ext recovery, fastboot install recovery 4extimg.img and after that reboot into recovery. If it enters recovery install a close to stock ics rom, with 4ext smart flash enabled or extract the boot.img from the rom and install it through fastboot (fastboot install boot boot.img).
I can provide you the latest 4ext recovery img, pm me if you need it.

Already did that with 4ext and cwm but none of them won't boot to recovery, but for the rom, i did ruu.exe after flashing recovery (that won't boot) and after relocking, then I unocked bootloader and flashed boot.img from the same ruu.zip, but no results, bootlooping. I think nothing can be done, it's a brick.

You flashed the ruu with the exe though windows or through sdcard? Did you try to remove the sdcard? Try fastboot wipe or format recovery before installing the new img.
