Something went haywire when trying to update Amon_RA's new recovery image. I now can't get into recovery and my ROM wont load. All I have is fastboot. I need to load a new recovery image to get into recovery but haven't been able to using the ADB. I've tried the various methods I've seen online with no success. Any advice?
I only rooted my phone around 6 hours ago, so I'm hoping this is what you meant. I was able to use fastboot to boot into a recovery ROM. Try using:
fastboot boot XXX.img
That should allow you to boot straight into it.
Yes I can...will you try copy recovery to SDK\tools?

Its a .zip file tho. I've tried "fastboot flash_image recovery..." command but it didn't work.
SarDroid...huh? What do you mean?

I think you can only flash official images using fastboot. I'm you can use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to load something like Cyanogen's recovery image you will get ADB access. From there you should be able to flash anything.
put recovery in your sdk tools folder
and boot to fastboot
and
fastboot flash recovery recoveryxxxx.img
also check Amon_RA's post where you got the recovery from it tells you how to do it

OK, I'm still not having any luck. Here is what I've done...I found the .img file for a previous recovery image. All the newer ones seem to be .zip files. For the recovery image, it won't recognize a .zip. So, I put the "recovery-RA-dream-v1.3.2.img" image in my AndroidSDK\tools\ folder. Then, in fastboot, I did "fastboot flash recovery..." and it said okay. Rebooted but it still didn't reboot to recovery when I held down home button.

do
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
let the phone reboot, dont touch and anything. you could also try
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
have you unzipped the zip files they mght just be .img inside
I have the same issue. but when I follow the steps to flash or boot the recovery.img cmd prompt just says
sending 'recovery' <4166 kb>... FAILED <remote: not allow> finished.
cd to sdk tools (placed recovery.img here)
fastboot boot recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
tried it again and
Install androidsdk and get a copy of a recovery image for your device. Copy the .img to the tools folder in \androidsdk and rename file to recovery.img (for simplicity later). Connect the phone to PC with USB. Power up phone while holding volume down. Get to fastboot USB, open up command prompt (elevated if vista or 7) and cd to androidsdk\tools. then "fastboot erase recovery" then "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" then "fastboot reboot".
HI,
before begining you must put the android sdk in the root of the c;/, and suitch off your phone , and hold the back bouton and the end call bouton until you see the 3 android in your fone so ,you try this command to see if the pc reconize your phone :
C:\AndroidSDK>fastboot devices
List of devices attached
XXXXXXXXXXXX fastboot
if you cannot see your IMEI listed you must instal the drivers utilities on your pc
if you see the pc listed the IMEI ,then you can flash the recovery .img .
-Place the recovery image downloaded into the androidsk/tools folder and rename it to recovery.img and try with this command :
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
that all good luke
Hi guys, how I can achieve this with S-ON? I can't flash SPL because I haven't sdcard and using ADB don't know, any help on this?
I have the exact same issue.
I only have fastboot access however I always get remote: not allow. ( Perfect SPL )
Phone Stats
HTC Magic 32A S-ON H
HBOOT 1.76.0010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO 6.35.16.19
I have created a gold card and tried flashing a sappimg.zip file but that gave me wrong model ID.
Anyone have any idea what I can do?

Hello
I searched for this and couldn't find working instructions for recovering RA's recovery image (Or CM's) to MyHero v1.1.3.
I'm on an HTC branded 32A.
Thanks
boot in fastboot (power on and back)
Fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.2.1H.img (i type fastboot boot then drag and drop recovery file)
Make sure it boots up if it does then enter fastboot again
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RAv1.2.1H.img
Failing that use this
Thanks for your reply. It didnt work though
it says:
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
In RA's thread, i followed the instructions but on the second command it says:
rm: cannot remove /system/recovery.img : Nos such file or directory.
I think that the recovery image is somewhere else?
And in RA's thread it says that I must have an SPL that allows me to flash recovery images.
I have SPL 1.33.0009
If that doesnt allow me to flash recovery, what shall I do to update SPL?? Although I dont want to, i've seen a lot of ppl brick their phones for updating the SPL
Thanks
adb remount
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb shell
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Thanks so much kchau, works perfectly!!
ok, so i wanted to try Cyanogenmod 7.
i followed the steps:
1- rooted the device
2- downgraded to Froyo firmware
3- installed Cyanogenmod 7.20.
all worked fine for almost one week until i updated rom manager from the market.
since the the device led flickers in green and orange. I can get into clockworkmod recovery menu but it lasts for a few seconds and disappears. it appears again and so on.
adb devices returns:
List of devices attached
SH0BHRT09137 recovery
but because it's not stable the same command doesn't return any devices few seconds later.
what shall i do now ?
steps one and two i assume are switched around, try booting into fastboot
if your hboot is still stable you may have more luck here
fastboot works in similar ways as adb - so fastboot devices
if you see yours
then wipe and flash a new recovery via fastboot
fastboot -w
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
(replace recovery.img with whatever name you give that recovery image)

Thanks for the info. after i installed fastboot and ran "fastboot devices" i don't get any devices.
are you in fastboot mode within hboot? does your phone say fastboot usb?
write down everything on your phone when you boot into bootloader

strange enough "adb reboot" go the device working ! not sure why it was stuck at ClockMod.
hope this thread help somebody later.
Wanting to go back to stock on the nexus 7. I have downloaded the factory image but for the life of me cannot figure out how to flash it. I am in the bootloader and i've extracted the image to my adb and fastboot directory. there is a "flash-all.sh" file but I'm unsure what to do with it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I personally don't remember how to use the .sh files.
But open the file with a text editor such as Notepad++, and you'll see the commands the script will run. You can run them manually.
sh files are purely for Linux users (it's the equivalent of batch files in Windows). Just run the commands in the sh file in your command prompt (or alter them so that it matches your fastboot).
I downloaded the images and looked at the script. Here is what it does.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-3.34.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
<Wait for it to reboot>
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jrn84d.zip
And you're done.
Thanks to all three of you. I am now back to stock. I appreciate the help at this crazy hour in the morning.

Are you still stuck? What is going on at the moment? What have you tried? PM me if you would rather.
Ya I'm still stuck....tried using wugfresh toolkit to get back to stock but drivers ain't working correctly. I'd rather just flash stock Google image if possible and be done.

Can you use ADB and Fastboot???
Do you know how to use ADB and Fastboot???
If you are stuck returning to stock, I have just posted a full guide in the development section. I just did it myself to make sure that it works. Enjoy.
I'm trying to root my huawei p smart
I have unlocked bootloader
I tried installing trwp with ADB. I used this command at first: 'fastboot flash recovery recovery_twrp_Psmart.img' It gave me this error: 'FAILED (remote: partition lenght get error)' after that I used: 'fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_twrp_Psmart.img' it looked like it worked, but I can't seem to get twrp open
So I don't know what I'm doing wrong
Any suggestions?

after flashing the recovery you have to unplug the phone from the pc and manually boot twrp ..by holding power button and volume up ..
*if you don't stock recovery will replace twrp wirh original recovery ...
*also are you sure you are flashing twrp & not stock recovery ... usually posts about rooting post both
Hello, I am trying to flash TWRP to my zenfone, I managed to do it once by some miracle with the exact same setup as I have now.
by typing fastboot devices I get K6AXB7616289*** fastboot
but if I try to flash anything with the phone connected I get no output at all.
If I try to flash with the phone disconnected I get <waiting for any device> and no change when I connect it.
In both of these cases when I disconnect the phone I get:
Sending 'recovery' (31332 KB) FAILED (Write to device failed (No such device))
fastboot: error: Command failed
It is overall wonky and seems to change depending on nothing. Sometimes while writing sudo fastboot reboot bootloader I get to the bootloader as expected, but sometimes I get an error but still manage to get to the bootloader and other times it boots up normally.
I am running ParrotOS from a USB
I also posted in here as my problem is very similar but I hope this post resurrects this particular topic: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...but-fastboot-devices-is-working-fine.4295449/
What commands are you using?
Fastboot flash boot boot.img?
The boot.img could be the twrp.img renamed to boot. Img but it should be to recovery I believe.
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Yeah im writing fastboot flash recovery and then the path to my twrp.img. I managed to flash it once after a lot of struggle but now I can't do it again.
After posting I saw that I'm using a USB 3 port and my laptop doesn't have a usb 2 one so I think that might be the issue.
Considering I can get three different outputs from the same command in the span of a couple seconds I think that the problem might be hardware related. I can update once I get my hands on a USB 2 port.

I have now tried with a USB 2 port and there is no change.
I have had issue when the phones in fastboot and I'm able to flash via his method. Using platform tools I copy all my IMg's into the folder then open a command prompt window in that folder and fastboot reboot bootloader or fastboot reboot fastboot. Which I learned the hardway is fastbootd mode and then and only then did it actually flash. I also learned the hardway that you boot directly from in fastboot mode or it all just cycles back.
Fastboot reboot.
What version zenfone model and what is system is it running?
If your device is running android 10 or newer then is a different process as you'll need to flash the super.img rather than individual imgs like system vendor product ect
Tue shore image also means it matters where you flash the img
Get a fastboot getvar all printout to me and I'll do what I can to help u get it running again
