Root How to replace CWM Recovery with 4ext recovery touch

[jjabba]

I have a HTC Desire that I just S-Offed using revolutionary.
It currently lists the following information in its boot menu.

-Revolutionary-
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
MICROP-031d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23

I've grown tired of the old stocklike rom I've been using and decided to try something more modern. Lite a Sense 4.1, but all current guides seems to suggest replacing the bundled Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 recovery with 4EXT Recovery Touch ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408936 ).

What is the easiest way for me to install this 4EXT recovery replacing Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 recovery?

Is 4ext still the recommended recovery 'app'

If you are happy with your recovery there should be no need to change. However 4ext has a few advantages.

Just follow this guide.

The steps are essentially:

download 4ext updater. apk file from the xda link.

put it on your SD card.

install it from your SD.

run the app & follow the prompts. You should select the touch recovery option. You will be asked to confirm that app has detected the correct type of phone. if it has not do not proceed any further.

That's it.
