Hello!
Yesterday I found myself in a very terrible situation. I spend about 6-7 hours...
It just happened that I deleted the recovery (through fastboot), and before that deleted firmware of the phone. That is, there remained only mode HBOOT (fastboot). Around the internet and google there are no guides on how to return
recovery by the alternative methods or how to flash a new ROM through
fastboot.
Thats why i want to present to you my little guide... Coz i think it will be very useful for some ppls like me with the same trouble.
So, if you're in a situation where you do not have Recovery, and the phone is not started in boot ROM then first try a standard way to flash a new Recovery through fastboot mode
Standart way of flashing new recovery via fastboot
1.Connect your phone with PC via USB and power off your phone (if it up).
2.Than start up in fastboot mode - (in my situation, fastboot mode is CAMERA+POWER, then button "send") in all other (as i know) this is starting the phone while pressing button BACK.
3.Open -> Start->Run->cmd (open command prompt in windows*) and write:
Code:
fastboot devices
Than you must see your device serial number like this:
Code:
H94XTGAMSHDY
and should say "fastboot".
If all right - go next. If not - check fastboot mode (is on?) and USB cable.
4.Than change directory via cmd to where you have saved your recovery image (NEW recovery.img !!! ALWAYS CHECK MD5 SUM)
5. Than type this :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [enter]
(while you are stay in the same dir where you saved recovery.img)
(if you got some error about previously version or smth like this you can try to use this: fastboot erase recovery and only than try to flash new recovery from step №5)
6.Check your phone's display, as recovery is being sent and flashed to your device. And check your command prompt/shell to make sure the process is over.
7.Reboot into recovery by holding Home and Power (before it power off device).
Thats all! You can use any recovery, all what you like. I use Amon_RA's recovery.
IF WHILE FLASHING YOU GOT :
Code:
sending 'recovery' <4594kb>... OKAY [ 1.734s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED <remote: signature verigy fail>
finished. total time: 3.125
Use next steps (my Alternative method)
And IF you can't flash recovery by this method it is not big trouble as you think now
Alternative way of BOOTING new recovery via fastboot checked and founded by me
Everything here is much easier and faster!
Do not be scared as I did it yesterday
Only what you need it :
Change directory via cmd to where you have saved your recovery image (NEW recovery.img !!! ALWAYS CHECK MD5 SUM)
And than TYPE:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
And your phone will be rebooted about 2 seconds in RECOVERY MODE. Yes!
After this you can use your old Nand Back up (restore it) and start up your old ROM. Or you can wipe all and try to flash new ROM and many operations what you can use via recovery. When you will get working ROM and flash it - you can flash recovery via adb. Or Use Rom Manager (Not recommended!)
Why we use this method? Because if you got error while flashing - FAILED <remote: signature verigy fail> you CAN'T FLASH ANY .img. Why? I Don't know, i hope some android guru's help us with it theory
(ALL AFTER THIS LINE ALL TEXT COPYED FROM WIKI.CYANOGEN.COM CREDITS GOES TO Cyanogen. Thx you, god)
If you want to flash recovery via adb (using power on phone with working firmware) (This method working 100% but strongly need working phone with working ROM)
Working only with HTC DREAM (G1) - Attention.
adb method by cyanogen version
Restoring the custom recovery image
Download the flash_image tool (HERE LINK
Next, place the file on your desktop
Change the directory to where "flash_image" is located, e.g. in Windows: cd C:\<path-to-flash_image-location>, in Linux: cd /home/USERNAME/path/to/flash_image on a Mac: cd /Users/USERNAME/path/to/flash_image)
IMPORTANT: Turn on USB debugging. Settings -> Applications -> Development -> check the box "USB Debugging"
Open up and adb shell
With your phone booted, type the following command
s:
Code:
adb root
This will start ADB as root, or notify if it is already running as root.
Code:
adb remount
This will mount the system partition (/system) as writable, allowing the following
Code:
adb push flash_image /system/bin
This will send the flash_image script into the /system/bin, so we can use it from within the shell
Code:
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
Finally, change the permissions of the script to allow it to perform the desired action.
Now that the script is installed, we are ready to proceed with flashing the custom recovery, saved on the root of the SD card earlier:
Code:
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
P.S. If you want i can post here method by flashing original 1.6 ADP Rom via fastboot (but as i think it is on htc dev web... But i can post here cut version of this - coz original version have many not needed things.)

hey ANtiHazarD i have a desire so im not sure if this is suppose to work but all 3 methods fail for me, any advice, thanks in advance
Nice steps! man hope this gets a good stick or added to the rom bible, you do know though fastboot method is a common way to flash recovery

That's what I was thinking... Seems almost pointless for a guide since there's instructions how to fastboot on every recovery thread.
Either way, nicely written guide. Someone will probably find this useful.

With a desire this is quite different, as it has an activated nand flash protection (s-on), so no fastboot flash recovery here. Although this should prevent you from not having a recovery at all...
* note: I don't have a desire (yet) so this is speculation *
Best is probably something similar to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750852
I guess if you get the correct PB99IMG.zip for exactly your device/brand you will not need a goldcard, so don't follow the howto blindly (it is for the newer SLCD versions, but the basics will still be applicable to AMOLED devices). Best would be a PB99IMG.zip that still has a hboot version < 0.92, otherwise you will need to downgrade to root. If you already have 0.92, then just take the newest image, as older ones are normally not flashable.
After step 7 of the howto, you are either done, or you will need to find instructions to downgrade if you want to root.
As soon as you have a working system, with a 0.8* hboot you can just use unrevoked to root and flash a custom recovery.
Enough OT... @ANtiHazarD: Very useful overview. Thanks.
WAY WAY WAY more complicated than it should be...
It is a simple matter of:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Done.

Can you please help me,
I have stuck here with the G1 phone,
it starts up and stucks on the G! logo.
I can get into fastboot bet have the same problem :
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...

I get into fastboot with thre android logos on skates,
even tried to restore nandroid using fastboot but I get the same error? could you help me out?
I have HTC DREAM with 1.33.0013d and radio 2.22.27.08
I am really frustrated,
I tried all you gave up here but none worked for me.
Also when I try to get into recovery I see a G1 logo with a fastboot usb written on top left in red.

Did you read everything before you flashed the 1.33.0013d SPL?
If yes, you would have noticed, that this SPL is not able to flash a recovery or radio using fastboot. You have to flash the orange-...nbh file to get back a full engineering SPL, but you will loose everything you have installed on the phone ...
Send from my G1 with HTCClay's UNOFFICIAL Superfly 1.6 D/S ADS using XDA App
i don't know about this spl, but all what you can do (what i know) you can use this method which named in prev. post. with RC29 or RC7 stock firmware *.nbh
after flashing all data, radio, recovery will be reflashed by a stock data. All must be fine after this... i hope
ezterry can give for your advanced advice, may be

Don't use RC29.. its once of the most annoying NBH files to need to re-root for the dream.
If you have 1.33.0013d note the orange.nbh posted on the new radio OP post: here
ezterry said:
If you find yourself stuck without recovery!!
Dream
1) Download: orange-1.58.73.2.nbh (MD5: aca4dee0c1ece7e9773f2ecbdfbba7c0) (mirror)
2) enter fastboot and run 'fastboot flash nbh orange-1.58.73.2.nbh'
3) wait for the entire nbh to flash
4) boot into the bootloader again (it will be an engineering SPL 1.42.2000)
5) You can now re-flash the radio/hboot/recovery via fastboot that you wish to have installed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
basically if you intend to still use the new radio; after installing 1.58.73.2 you can reboot-bootloader; and use my fastboot installation steps at the top of that post
You can do this without a goldcard because I bypass various checks in 1.33.0013d
(It will let you install any other signed NBH but that will still wipe the phone completely; and if it fails to flash cleanly it will leave you without an engineering SPL thus make it harder to make android go again)
hey i tried to flash the MTD too and now i keep getting "E:cant open CACHE:recovery/log" when i go into recovery .

It's worth learning to use it ...
Really, especially when using the 14MB-hack or CustomMTD and it's not so difficult. There should be a tutorial on adb and fastboot here in the forum.

i agree but i just finished reading the forum that shows how to do it but it sounds so complicated .
EDIT: i ended up flashing another recovery and that solved the problem . that was the weirdest thinq ive ever seen . and honestly i thought i bricked my phone but it was a simpleee fix lol . thanks for the advice tho
I am hanging at booting while trying to do this any ideas?
Ok so i have a MT3g running Cyans 5.0.7 this is obviously a 32b. Unfortunatley i made the most retarded mistake of trying to flash a new recovery rom 1.7.0 from 1.2.6 and instead of booting in recovery i did it directly from adb shell on my pc while phone was booted on rom. It oddly didnt give me any error messages but when i tried booting in recovery i get the mytouch green logo screen and wont boot. There are no recovery logs tried both commands and i cant update my rom nor can i push the engineering spl because i was told u need to be in recovery for that? Is that it? Is this phones recovery done? What are my options? Thank You in advance!
Btw looked at other posts i promise this is not related.
Phone however does boot to my rom just not in recovery?

ok so i wanted to flash clockwork 3.0 but i was still running cm 6.1.1 and now i am stuck at the htc boot screen. i also cant get into recovery please i am begging for help.
please someone i really need help i obviously cant use my warranty obviously so please help me restore this or just get it back to working without a root anything
Dont worry pal.
OK,... AFAIK...... If you have flashed ClockworkRecovery 3, the only ROMs that will work are the 2.3 ROMs,... If you are trying to boot up a 2.2 ROM, it is likely to bootloop.
So boot back into recovery, full wipes, then flash a 2.3 ROM,... If that is what you were planning to do.
If you want to keep your 2.2 ROM on,... flash back to an older Clockwork Recovery,... then try to boot? If you get boot loops, try wiping cache and try again. If it still fails I would just do a fresh flash of your ROM again,... Remember full wipes 1st.

Can you boot into Hboot screen (phone off then volume-down + power)? If yes try to select recovery from the Hboot screen, it should reboot into recovery, if it doesn't and something is wrong with your recovery, Do you have an Eng. Hboot? , if yes do you have Andriod SDK set up and fastboot? If yes, boot into Hboot, select fastboot from the options, then plug in your usb. Once your device is recognized by fastboot:
Code:
fastboot devices
should return a serial number + "fastboot"
then reflash ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3( you can download it from here:http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/02/clockwork-recovery-image.html then place the ClockWorkMod Recovery 2.5.1.3( make sure its named recovery.img) into the tools folder in AndriodSDk where Fastboot is located, then run the command :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
once rebooted your probably gonna be stuck at the HTC screen again, pull the battery, then Volume-down+ power back into Hboot, then select recovery from Hboot screen and it sholud reboot into ClockworkMod recovery, then reflash the rom of your choice.
thanks but i already fixed it by pressing sim lock and i have no idea why that worked and i should probably set up adb now right?

-developers who own the phone to develop for it so they can win a second one.
sounds a bit weird.

-True, but during XDA: DevCon we had 3 people without a phone produce images for it, and it's not a one-chance thing, you can resubmit as often as you like.
-How about this, if you already have a Find 5, give me the same of somebody who you think should get this one instead. Could be a friend, or somebody who's work in the XDA community you think should be rewarded.
Despite having three separate developers build images and flash them onto the phone, none were able to boot into Ubuntu Touch.

It shouldn't touch your recovery partition at all, do you mean you can't go to recovery because it doesn't boot?
What does adb reboot recovery do?
Otherwise just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img a TWRP image, but this is pretty weird.
Oh, and when I say flash the Ubuntu base after, you don't need to reboot in between, just flash both zips one after the other, the build first and the ubuntu base afterwards. (Also remember to do a factory reset, wipe dalvik-cache and, optionally, /system

Then I thought why dont i just flash the other file you told me to flash So I try to do that..
I run fastboot flash recovery saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf and i get the following error
I get error cannot load ' saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf''
I even tried it on the recovery .img file but i get
error cannot load 'openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-find5'
What i should of done was what you said, flash one right after the other but I didnt...... I by 2nd nature just wiped dalvik cache and i tapped reboot system. So im kinda stuck right now. Does it help that when I do fastboot devices I can see the random numbers generated by my device? I read on a blog for the oppo find 5 that After entering this command ( fastboot devices ), you’ll see the random numbers appeared in the command prompt. This is to ensure that your device is properly connected.)
ANY help you give me is valued. Thank you sir.

From your error message, you simply didn't add the .img extension to the twrp image
Also, you can't fastboot a zip, don't try.
But, did you try to simply do the following?
Code:
adb reboot recovery
There's absolutely no reason why it would have overwritten your recovery, my guess is you can't reboot to recovery using the button combination.
Anyway, if the above doesn't work, follow these steps to reflash your recovery:
Open a terminal on your pc
Make sure you cd to the directory where your twrp image is
issue the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-find5[COLOR="DarkRed"].img[/COLOR]
Reboot to recovery using:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Are you on windows or linux?
Okay so I did that I flashed the recovery.img then I rebooted using fastboot reboot
Now i proceed to doing adb reboot recovery but i get
error: device not found
Please excuse me as i am not an elite developer im not a noob nor an expert but It could be that I couldnt get the drivers for the phone installed. I know adam outler on G+ said as quoted
+Franco Colomba I had no such issues with drivers. The only thing was ADB needed an extra USB VID added.

I don't think it's an usb driver issue since you have fastboot working. It's true that we don't have adb access when in fastboot mode.
Follow this guide, it's exactly about your issue and assumes you're on windows: Unbrick the Find 5(Software unbrick via fastboot)

Try this:
Download a CM build
Open it with winrar and extract the boot.img from it
hold shift and do a right-click in the folder where you extracted the boot.img, and select "open a terminal here" (or whatever the header is)
Issue this command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now try again to reboot to recovery using the buttons combination
hurray so i managed to get the phone working by using a script found in that one thread you linked me too.. never the less i managed to get into TWRP and from there i had already made a backup (THANK GOD) and i restored and the phone is up and running perfectly. Now what Im going to do is what you instructed to do first.
1. the build first
2. then the ubuntu base afterwards
with
factory reset, wipe dalvik-cache
i will post back my results wish me luck

No problem buddy but hey guess what... I flashed "saucy-preinstalled-find5-armhf-2.zip" now I cant get into recovery I was using TWRP and i know you said "need to flash the Ubuntu base after flashing this build" but since i cant get into recovery I can only get into fastboot mode Do I flash this one via adb? Sorry for the noobish question

I've noticed that the Find 5 is kind of hit-or-miss when trying to get into recovery using the power+volume-down combo. It seems that maybe you need to have it disconnected from USB, and start pressing volume-down very soon after, but not at the same instant, as the power button. Also, it takes a while of looking at the OPPO splash before it gets into recovery.

Yes mhall you are correct. I found a little trick to get it into recovery...well im not sure if its a trick or not but its what helped me get back into recovery after it not booting up. I might make a video about it later. But heres an update:
So i flashed both the build and the preinstalled package and then did factory reset which wipes out cache and dalvik
then i rebooted.
RESUTLS: it stays on the bootscreen aka OPPO GREEN LOGO.
what do you think is the problem now Androguide.fr ?
I did EVERYTHING you told me too

Yeah, Michael Hall reported to me that the build doesn't boot either.
I'm working on a new build using a different toolchain, as with the stock Google TC I had to hack my around -Werror flags and this might be the problem.
I'll post the progress here.
