[HTC Wildfire S] izi501:
Good. Now, your bootloader should print *UNLOCKED*

Now let's do he real part of the job, what this tutorial has been made for.

CHOOSE YOUR RECOVERY

The choice of the recovery is very important. For the Wildfire S A510e, there are a lot of available recoveries :

ClockWorkMod 5, 6 and 6 Touch Version

TWRP 2.2.2.0 and 2.3.3.0

OWL-mod 0.1.2 (based on ClockWorkMod).

These recoveries usually are also available for non-marvel models, you can find a link to the other versions in the thread. But DO NOT TRY TO FLASH ON YOUR DEVICE A RECOVERY THAT ISN'T MADE FOR IT ! Meaning, if you want to try ClowkWorkMod 6 Touch Version, but you have a marvelc, do not flash the marvel version. Look for the marvelc version of the Internet. You could brick your device doing this :P

So, every recovery has a lot of advantages and also a lot of drawbacks. I will list them here.

CWM 5

It can be found here.Take the Wildfire S CDMA version for marvelc.

It is a good recovery, usually the one that everybody use. It is not a touch recovery, so you'll need to use it with volume keys and power button.

It doesn't have amazing features, but is official and working.

CWM 6

This is the newest version of ClockWorkMod recovery. It is better than CWM 5 : support of incremental backups, lighter and faster backups, new interface, etc.

You can find it here.

This one is pretty well working too, although it is not a touch recovery and even if it is not official.

CWM 6 Touch version

Like CWM 6, but using the touchscreen : better for the power button which is not made for a huge use.

The problem is that this one isn't very stable : some features do not work, the screen is strangely sized. Use it only if you want to try, but not if you just want stability.

You can find it here.

TWRP 2.2.2.0

It is another touch recovery, open source and absolutely different. It is less used and is perfectly stable. It has many more features than CWM, especially a file manager (very, very handy when you want to mod some system things without your PC).

I love it, but there is just one problem with the backups and restores : they take (for me at least) 5 more time than CWM ones. If you do not often backup/restore, that is OK, else you'll quickly get bored of waiting 30 minutes before flashing your rom.

TWRP 2.2.2.0 can be downloaded here.

TWRP 2.3.3.0

This was the latest version of TWRP available for the Wildfire S. You can download it on this website.

It is better than TWRP 2.2.2.0 but has a major problem : it cannot flash some old files. That's quite annoying when you want to try a rom and you see you can't because the rom zip file is too old :/

TWRP 2.7.0.0

This is the latest version of TWRP, built by [MENTION=4329876]Olivier[/MENTION] for our phone. It is definitely pretty cool, has loads of features and nearly no bugs. You can find it here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2692158.

Like TWRP 2.3.3.0, it cannot flash some old files :/

OWL-mod 0.1.2

This recovery has been made especially for the Wildfire S. For now, it is pretty like CWM 6, with a few mods. But the next version looks very interesting :)

Here is the thread.

PhilZ recovery 6.0.2.8

Here is PhilZ recovery, a recovery which looks very much like CWM 6.0.2.8 but has some nice features. Here is the non-touch version : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2605331.

Then, I let you choose, try some of them and see by yourself ;)

FLASH YOUR RECOVERY

That's easy if your bootloader is unlocked.

Download Android SDK here. Extract everything, and open cmd (Start menu - Execute - cmd). Then, in cmd, navigate to the repository you extracted everything (cd path\to\directory). Then, in this directory, go to sdk\plaform-tools.

In this folder, place the recovery file you downloaded.

Now, reboot your device in bootloader mode. Then go into fastboot. If the device is recognized you should see USB Plug on the screen.

You can now type

fastboot.exe flash recovery your_recovery_file_name.img

and voila ! You should see a loading bar on the screen, and you can reboot into recovery ;)

THE BEST FLASHING TOOL

[MENTION=4263401]Uksus17[/MENTION] made a pretty nice tool to help you install a recovery : just make sure USB debugging is enabled in your phone's settings, then connect it to the computer (of course, with the drivers installed - see before) and just run the .bat :)

You can find the script here : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nuf2pq3ay9eu7xk/7gtYOs07EN

WINDOWS 8.1

On Windows 8.1 the fastboot drivers do not work. Thus you have to use another way to install the recovery : PG76IMG. The recovery will be downloaded as a zip file that you will put at the root of your sd card. Then just reboot into bootloader (vol down + Power) and it will flash it automagically ;) [MENTION=4580634]niks255[/MENTION] made PG76IMG for TWRP 2.2, 2.7 and CWM 6.0.4.8. You can find it here : 2.2, 2.7, 6.0.4.8
