This will be pretty difficult. I presume you mean you installed it (despite the huge numbers of warnings here and on other sites).
I think you'll need to see if fastboot still works (it most definitely won't ) and see if flashrec works (which it likely won't). Failing that, we may need some rooters to find a flaw to crack it.
If fastboot works, we can use superboot to sort it out
flashrec does not work and fastboot does not work, finally it works, but you can not install a recovery from fastboot
does goldcard still work to downgrade the firmware?
the Goldcard does not work either because it is 2.1
what does "it finally works"? Did u mean flashrec can be run in htc hero 2.1?

I wanted to say that its not working (fastboot) and does not also flashrec
So, by that means who want to have Custom ROM Later they shouldn't Flash Official android 2.1 Update ? Because they will loose root & can not get it back ? Right ? can't flash recovery, means can't install Custom ROM
Did you try AmonRa - recovery ?
flashrec can be install or not ? if it can then try to flash using AmonRa .. if it works then can get recovery option i think .
flashrec can install but can not install a recovery it does not work
All Right Thanks bro .. now i don't want to install official 2.1
Maybe stupid question, but is it not possible to have 1.5 back using an old RUU
its not working
is it possible to switch to another custom recovery after I already got clockworks?
I tried unrevoked but its stuck in the reboot (I believe its trying to root my aria again)
not sure what youre trying to do.... i believe Clockwork is the only Recovery for rooted phones. if you want to flash a custom ROM, well that is something else altogether. please be specific as to what you want to flash to the phone. include a link to the flash too
I was trying to flash psfreedom recovery rom from here
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Aria
I believe the method on that website was for unrooted arias without clockworks

To flash a different custom recovery on your Aria, you need to rename the zip file LIBEIMG.ZIP on the SD card and boot in HBOOT (Power on the phone by holding down VOL DOWN and the Power Button). When it boots to the HBOOT screen you should see text stating that it found LIBEIMG.ZIP and is installing it.
awesome. now before I go ahead, is there any clockworkx recovery image I can revert back to?

I'm curious, what recovery are you talking about?
thanks for including the link. the instructions are clear.... Root IS required, Clockwork recovery is recommended, the Freedom Aria flash appears to be a custom ROM.
once the phone is Rooted, boot into Recovery, make a Nandroid backup, and flash downloaded zip file from SD card.
if you need help Rooting, there is all sorts of good methods available on this site. I use the Unrevoked method myself, but it works best on Linux or Mac OS

hmm I think you are looking at the old method which is a custom rom
The new one is a custom recovery which brings me to the question as I dont think you can flash a custom recovery in the clockwork custom recovery.
its possible im looking at the wrong thing, but far as i can tell it states "Recovery Custom ROM" which is totally different from Custom Recovery ROM
From link posted above:
"Update can be installed in recovery mode in Psfreedom settings menu via Update (local) or Update (net) if you have configured your wifi connection. Put the file on your SDCARD and install it.

I have similar questions. I was trying to update my version of clockwork also using unrevoked again, but couldn't get it to work. I guess my questions are:
1. Is there any benefit in updating to a newer version of clockwork? My current version is 2.0.x.x and I believe the latest one is 2.5.0.4.
2. Will this same method work to do so? Can I rename the latest clockwork .zip file like this and get it updated?
I thought using the flash clockwork option in ROM Manager would do it, but it doesn't. If I reboot from ROM Manager it goes to the newer version, but if I reboot otherwise it goes to my original. The couple times I've used it, there appears to be maybe some different features/options in the newer one and I feel like I might be missing out on something!
What's the difference with this recovery?

These are probably two different things. once you got the recovery rom flashed you can upgrade it in recovery mode (hence its different from original clockwork recovery)
Ok bro, I didn't see much info about it so I'm gonna take your word for it.
@brswattt, far as I can tell this is " basically" used for jailbreaking the ps3.
@armyengineer;
you can use unrEVOked to flash the new recovery. if youre a Windows user, download the unrEVOked tool and run the .exe as Administrator. also make sure there are no conflicting s/w on the PC such as HTC Sync and you have all the drivers installed(HBoot, ADB drivers, etc.)
for more info about the PSFreedom Recovery, check out THIS Thread HERE
unrevoked keeps giving me
couldnt find misc
error, is there any other way to flash a recovery?

This still isn't working for me. Everything appears to go well at the start, then I get:
Waiting for root...(safe to restart if this doesn't work)
At which point the only way I can restart is to pull my battery. After doing so, it reboots and I get:
This was a triumph
It is not, however, any such thing. After another minute I get this:
Internal error: couldn't find misc.
So I've still got my original version of clockwork, 2.0.1.3, despite the fact that ROM Manager is telling me I have 2.5.0.1. I'm obviously missing something here.
BTW, if it matters I'm running CM 6.1.0

Although there is a ClockworkMod 2.5.0.4 version, I don't think it is for the Aria. According to ClockworkMod ROM Manager, 2.5.0.1 is the most current one for the Aria so I am believing what ROM Manager is telling me since it is written by the same the vendor.
I have tried CM 6.1.0
original HTC Aria 2.1 International Rom
and FR001 RC1
all no go. I think it has something to do with the phone already been rooted and has clockworks installed which makes unrevoked unhappy

OK, let's start from the beginning. You asked about installing an alternate recovery (PSFreedom recovery), but apparently it has its own installation procedure that needs to be run on an unrooted Aria.
What you need is to find just the PSFreedom recovery and copy it to your SD called in a file called LIBEIMG.ZIP and that is how you need to install it on a root phone that has ClockworkMod. Perhaps you need to go back to the PSFreedom thread and ask if a LIBEIMG.ZIP can be produced that can be flashed from HBOOT to replace ClockworkMod.
Looks like everything you need is located in the PSFreedom wiki:

I got a recovery.bin which is suppose to be used with unrevoked.
are you talking about the same one if I just compress it into a zip file?
Hello mates,
I have a rooted wildfire with Wildpuzzle ROM v2.2. My recovery image is the Clockwork Recovery.
I want to load the Stock Froyo, now that app2SD is possible without root.
(App2sd is the only reason rooted).
I tried flashing the RUUxxxxx.exe file ,but got the error cannot upgrade your phone.
I found that signing key of the custom recovery is the causing the problem and that I have to get the Stock Recovery. And only then I will be able to run the RUUxxxx.exe file for Stock Froyo 2.2.
Can anyone tell me how I can do it ?
It will be of great help if any one can share an original "recovery.img" .
Also I am having trouble with fastboot becuase I have S-ON in bootloader.
Make a gold card. Flash stock RUU. Flash 2.2 RUU. Done! Look up a guide of making goldcard on xda or modaco.

So you dont need the root anymore?
Then you should download from shipped-roms.com a WWE that is eclair run the .exe on ur pc and when its done go to (in ur phone) to the updates section and OTA upgrade to non-rooted official froyo!
(Htc Buzz:wildfire WWE is under the windows mobile section for some reason xD)
Hey guys, can anyone tell me why my radio .zip file, the latest package, I got off of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 won't flash for me in recovery or update? I followed the steps but it doesn't work for some reason? Any help or insight? Thanks.
Use ra it works way better that click worth suck

Why do you like ra better? Seems like a lot of people say that but I've never really had a problem with cwm.
Thoughts?

What is RA?? I'm kind of new?
Amon ra is just a different type of recovery. You can flash it from the clockwork menu by selecting flash alternate recovery.

The problem people report with Clockwork is it does not not wipe properly.
From my understanding ,CWM won't flash radios via Recovery. You have to use the pc36img.zip version.
Amon Ra is just better. You should switch.

What do you mean, I have to use pc36img.zip version? Kind of new? I don't understand. I have CWM, installed by unrevoked3. I don't know how to switch to another recovery interface. Can you give me steps for flashing to a different recovery? And steps to what I would need to do to update my radios, without messing with the rom I have installed? Thanks

U can flash an alternate recovery from RM,just go to where it says " alternate recovery" and flash RA after that just go into recovery and flash ur radio.

okay, so switch to RA from Rom Manager, and then I'll just do everything through the recovery and no longer use ROM Manager/CWM?
I was about to Flash new radios and a Kernal, but it seems like I'm unable to do so in CWM according to what you guys said (without renaming it to the "stock" pc36 name?

How is the Kernal working out for you? Running MikG 1.03 as well here. Decent battery etc?
Also, pretty new at this but trying to get up to speed quickly, so thanks for your help - How did you update the PRL? I'm on 2.15.00.1.19?
Thanks man
I used the combo file in Calkukin's thread (in the Dev section). My battery on 1,03 is worse than on 1.02, so far, but you have to remember that anytime you flash a new ROM, you need to give it a day or 2 to let the kernel "settle in."
A lot of people are saying to downgrade PRI to version 1.77 and that will help, but I'm resisting doing that for now.
i used the cyanogenmod perm root which told me to push the new version of clockwork mod threw the adb. but i want to downgrade so i can use some bad ass font packages.. it wont let me threw clockwork mod so does that mean i have to push the older version threw adb to get ti to work?
thanks

This is where it's going to get tricky. the older 2.5 Recovery images are designed for 2.2 ROMs, which are EXT3 based. Our Cyanogen(mod) ROM is 2.3.x, which is EXT4. The older recovery images might make things harder than it should be.
The easiest thing to do in your case would be to download Absolute Tools from the market, it is a paid app, and I use it to flash fonts. It works AMAZINGLY well, and has alot of other root tools that are really nice. 1) boot images, 2) fonts 2) ability to back up .apk's and 4) a root explorer.
as far as to answer your question. YES you will have to find an older version of Clockwork ROM recovery image, flash it either via ADB or in the fastboot screen.
