No but you need some sort of data connection be it wifi or some such.
Try the earlier Flashrec, that olde rone is the one I used. If that doesn't work I shall upload, and link you, the cm-recovery-1.4.img Flashrec downloaded to my sdcard as I still have it backed up on my computer.
Soldato
The older Flashrec won't install.
Soldato
Hmmm. Perplexing. I am wondering if you have the "fixed" version of 1.5
Here's a link to cm-recovery-1.4.img
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pete-salisbury/cm-recovery-1.4.img
Download that, rename it
recovery.img
and stick it in the root of your sdcard. Run the new version of Flashrec, do another backup then in the dialogue box type
recovery.img
and hopefully you can then flash it.

I just installed that older version of Flashrec on my phone and it had the option for me to download the recovery image. Maybe you need to uninstall the newer version first?
Soldato
I can't do another backup. All I get are the "Restore Backup Image" and the greyed out "Download Recovery Image".

Very strange!
When I first rooted mine I dont ever recall it being this complex/tedious - I just installed flashrec, flashed recovery, booted itno recovery, flashed the rom, wiped phone, rebooted and BAM!
It does sound like something is blocking you from installing the correct recovery though ;/

Have you tried what I said, download my copy of 1.4 rename it then put it on your sdcard and type the name recovery.img into the box? Try that, obviously skipping the backup part since you can't and see what happens.
Soldato
Yeah Flashrec 1.1.3. 
Just removed that and installed 1.1.2 and I get all the buttons people talk about. 
Just about to boot into recovery mode. Dare me?
So the phone will boot into recovery mode for me and I'll have an option to make a nandroid backup?

You'll either get the reboot option or have to reboot into recovery manually and then you'll see this...
nandroid backup is there
nandroid backup is there
Soldato
I hope the HTC recvovery zip file and the latest Cyanogenmod 4.2.5 file are in the root of your sdcard.
Soldato
Soldato
I trust, after you did a nandroid backup, you wiped your phone via the wipe data/factory reset option before applying the htc recovery file?
Damn, this is almost exciting.

Soldato
I can also count. 
Soldato
Good, good. After you apply the cyanogen 4.2.5 zip and then reboot it may take a while to load up as it always seems to after flashing a new rom.
Soldato
It's booting up! Got the Android text but with an enlarged 'O' in the style of an arrow going back on itself with a wittle cute Android standing in it. 
Soldato
But they've pushed my question from yesterday about 3 pages back
What was your question we so selfishly pushed back?

That's good to know, at least it's not stuck on a black screen which usually indicates some things gone **** up
