Principially yes, but I would not(!) recommend it. Especially installing a new recovery.img and/or radio.img is more save using fastboot, which needs a pc.

wierd u mention that, i used the phone to flash radio.img. through the recovery console. cant remember the commands tho
Id like to try and I have a spare g1 to try it on first its just the guides are a bit hard for me to follow
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App
Yes you can flash the radio.img using an update.zip file and flash it through recovery, but this in certain circumstances may cause a brick. Using fastboot is more save.
I get what ur saying m8 hence the reason id try it on my spare g1 it would just be easier for me as couldn't even get adb working before lol I'm useless
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App
toon, how about working out why ADB doesn't work? it's much more pleasant to be able to copy/paste commands which reduces alot of headache and chance of mistakes.
do you have a computer and data cable?
Yeah I do m8 tho gonna need some help

Make sure that you NEVER flash the 6.35.xxxx radio with perfected spl you will have access to fastboot only. Did it and regret it.

If you have access to fastboot, shouldn't there be some way to save it? Have you tried applying SAPPIMG.nbh?

Whatever the term is for it, I can't save the device. Because the SPL is perfected, it will not allow me to flash anything at all, radio, recovery, spl.... nada. Just a word to the wise, don't do it. LOL. I've tried everything. got a galaxy s though.

That's because you don't "flash" sappimg.nbh, you apply it from the bootloader, I think. Power + Volume Down.
Ok, let me put it this way: i can't "flash" or apply anything. It's jacked up.

Hey I screwed up quite a few times in the beginning when rooting, a few times where I could only enter fasboot. What worked for me was flashing the official update from htc (htc.com/dk) from fastboot. (Then of course the hassle of re-rooting, but if that's the only way, small price). I don't know if you can get an official RUU to try? Otherwise, pm me and I'll se about sending you the file if you want to try with the Danish one (I think it's 1.5 or 1.6 + sense UI)..
Edit. This was comming from the official update with perfect split, 1.76.0007.
And you'll of course need to installed fasboot drivers if you haven't already....

what procedure are you following? You should have the sappimg.nbh file on the root of the sd card, then boot into fastboot and choose "apply update from sd card." Then just relax until you're in cupcake and use flashrec to install amon_ra recovery, and proceed to flash roms as usual.
You could try this method, see if it helps.

There's no one click method I know of for the Nexus S.
What do you mean you can't root & it won't budge? This phone is about as easy they come (without some one click app): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931865
Install the android sdk on your computer.
Put the su.zip file on your sdcard partition of the phone.
Put the phone in fastboot mode.
Fastboot flash the recovery.
Select recovery.
Select install zip from sdcard.
Flash it.
Reboot.
You're done.
If your computer doesn't recognize the phone while it's in the bootloader, you gotta install the google Nexus S drivers or the one from PDAnet. That was where I got stuck at 1st when I tried rooting. Fastboot couldn't find my phone because I had the generic windows drivers.
Also if you have PDANet on, turn it off before putting your phone in fastboot mode.
Actually there is a one click method...brb with it
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/easy-one-click-root-for-nexus-s-full-guide/
Or search superboot nexus s
Here on xda
Either will work PC or mac.

Interesting. So the steps on the referenced one-click method you posted are:
1) put your phone in fastboot
2) do the fastboot oem unlock command manually.
3) run a batch file that contains two lines (fastboot-windows.exe flash boot boot.superboot.img & fastboot-windows.exe reboot).
I guess that's easier than putting your phone in fastboot directly and typing in a command to flash clockwork, then selecting a zip file to install from clockwork, but not much.
The drawbacks here are of course that it's superboot, and that it requires you to unlock the bootloader. I guess it's useful if you're really noob, but it only saves you typing one command.
The noob part is very true. However I prefer my bootloader unlocked anyhow.

You do not need an unlocked bootloader (currently) to use custom roms, or to root, or to flash clockwork recovery, etc...

Of course, but since you contradicted my statement earlier that one disadvantage to the posted method here was that it had you unlock the bootloader by replying that you like having yours unlocked, I was trying to pin down if there was an advantage to unlocking the bootloader that had been discovered that I hadn't heard yet.
There's indication on git for our phone that the next update includes a change to the bootloader being able to use the fastboot boot command while locked. Unknown what that will actually do in terms of just fastboot flashing clockwork to apply root and custom roms.
I c wut u did there. I'm not sure how the update is going to affect things ATM. I keep it unlocked for "in case sh*t" happens. Never know what an update will bring in changes to rom management.

Is there any way to updatinng radio and spl from recovery?
Because i don't understand to do it from fastboot
I'm using hboot : 1.33.2005 and radio : 2.22.19.26I
Sent from my HTC Dream using XDA Premium App
What's the problem in typing
Code:
fastboot flash radio <radio.img>
where <radio.img> is the name of the radio image you want to flash? It's *much* more safe than flashing by recovery.
The only thing to consider: put <radio.img> into the same directory where fastboot is located and start fastboot from that directory, it will ease your life.
There's no problem in there I think but the problem is I can't set up my android sdk in my pc. The pc didn't recognize my phone so I can't go to fastboot

what should i do?
I ran into a very similar thing two weeks ago. I had previously installed the android USB driver for my Nexus One. Now, when connecting the G1, it was only recognized as USB Mass Storage. After a few reboots and failed reinstallations of the driver, when I had already given up, it suddenly started to work and I was asked for the driver, gave it the correct path and it works just fine since...
Yees
I already tried it so many time too. Even when i'm using htc sync to make it recognized my phone sadly hc sync can read my phone. Eventhough i already reboot my phone many time and i restarting my pc but it still won't work

use camera+power when you turn on your G1, then connect it to your PC. See if it reconize it as Android phone.

Just to let u know I don't think I get a notification on my PC when I'm on fastboot mode and plug it in. Just a sound I believe. Just make sure when you plug up and open the cmd prompt u change directories to tools dir before typing fastboot devices and u should get a serial number. Then u are ready to go. If u can boot into recovery u should make a backup first. Put the rom u want to flash on your sdcard too along with the kernel and anything else to make it easier. All after partitioning your card for apps2ext if you plan to use it.

When I saw the port for ICS come out I got really excited and flashed it right away. Then I realized for whatever reason I didnt have SU permissions so I couldn't tether to my computer. I was disappointed but I thought, "no biggie, I'll just restore from my back up." When I flashed my back up the SU app was in my app drawer but I still couldn't tether. As a matter of fact I can't do anything that requires SU but the bootloader still reads unlocked. WTF?
I can't flash a new recovery either. I tried installing from ROM manager, I tried pushing it from my computer but I can't get to the recovery any more. ROM manager says that I have CWM 5.0.2.0 currently installed but I can't get to it at all. Again, WTF?

Thanks for not answering my questions.

Try from rom manager to reinstall a previous recovery version.

No suggestions have worked so far. It does not matter what the recovery image name is, whenever I try the flash it Terminal says that it cannot load "***.img" or if I try an install command it says that it cannot find "***.zip" I'm on a snow leopard iMac so I don't need drivers n such.
Let me pose the question like this, what would I do to completely restore the phone to factory condition and try to root it again? Like I said before, the bootloader says that it is unlocked but I do not have any root privileges, could not access the recovery I had before nor install a new recovery after having locked the unlocked the phone's bootloader again.

find yourself a one-click root method on XDA that includes superuser, busybox, and CWM.
EDIT: Also, double check the md5 sum for the CWM .zip. use

Hello everyone,
This is my first post and I'm already asking for help
I have had my rooted Click/Tattoo for about 15 mouths now, yesterday I updated my recovery and flashed the wrong one by accident (I flashed a Wildfire one not a Click one).
The phone boots into Android 1.6 but won't let me flash a new recovery either on the phone terminal with Super User or on my PC with adb. Also I can't flash using Fast boot as my phone has decided to turn Security back on.
I have no Idea what to do, as I have a basicily useless phone at the moment, please help
