Flashing a custom recovery on your HTC Buzz might be giving you some hard times, therefore, to save the stress, I have prepared a flashable PC49IMG.zip file that can flash ClockWorkMod Recovery on your HTC Buzz once and for all.
Please note that this file only works on HTC Buzz ( HTC Wildfire) that has S-off. ENG-off hboot is not necessary.
S-off which is also known as secu-off or security-off (some call it security flag) is a term common with HTC android devices and it is a kind of security put in place to checking and preventing any unsigned .img files (radio.img, recovery.img, etc.) or zips from being flashed on android HTC devices.
Unlike the Stock recovery, custom recovery opens the world of freedom and personalisation to you, as an android device user.
With custom recovery installed on your android device, you can backup and restore your entire phone content, flash new ROMs, upgrade and downgrade your phone at will, flash tweaks and more.
Detailed info about Custom Recovery and Stock Recovery here.
This process updates your HTC Buzz, Wildfire with the latest CWM recovery (which replaces your stock recovery or whichever recovery.img you already have).
Congratulations! Now, the process is complete!
In case the PC49IMG.zip file does not work for your HTC Buzz, Wildfire kindly use the Contact Us gadget up by the sidebar to send me your HTC Buzz CIDnum and I shall send you the specific file for your phone.
