enter fastboot - CAMERA+POWER
if you saw a black screen with no logos - you fastboot "
you need to write a command for upload recovery
fastboot flash recovery <recovery_name>.img
http://narod.ru/disk/26369218000/rec...swift.img.html
open recovery - HOME+POWER.
scrolling menu VOLUME UP/VOLUME DOWN, select item SEND CALL, return/cancel END OF CALL.
(copy-paste from other thread)

You need a firmware that has been modified with Fastboot.
This one has Fastboot.
Code:
http://istech.co.id/ronie/20B_CIS.zip
Flash that, then go in to fastboot and flash the clockworkmod img.

with KZ-Updater ???

Yes, you flash with KDZ and enter fastboot (camera + Power)
You will get a black screen, then connect it to the computer and on the command prompt you Type-> cd C:\(where ever you have your SDK/tools folder) Fastboot flash recovery [your recovery image].img
It should give you 2 OK then do
Fastboot reboot.
After that disconnect your phone, turn it off then when its off push (home+power)
You should get your recovery.

[Q] MT3G bad recovery flash, stuck

Hi,
I have a mt3g, TMobile. CyanogenMod 6.1.0, ClockWork recovery. Used ROM Managed to flash Amon Ra recovery, since I needed to re-calibrate the battery. It asked me to pick phone model, picked Ion/MyTouch 3G. After reboot:
- Stuck on splash screen if I try to go to recovery
- When booted up - a bunch of force closures, keeps playing a ringtone over and over and...
Everything I tried to do through ROM Manager didn't help.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Do you still have root? If you can get into ROM manager, reflash clockwork recovery, then wipe cache, dalvik, and run a fix permissions. That should get you back up and running long enough to try again to flash amon ra.
Not sure if the oem spl will let you fastboot flash a new recovery but that's your most reliable bet.
It sounds like it might be time to do a full wipe and reflash anyway. Have you heard of Ohsaka's SuperWipe?

I tried reflashing Clockwork through ROM Manager. It says "root granted", "clockwork flashed" immediately. When I try to boot into recovery - I get stuck on green MyTouch screen forever. Battery pull is the only way out.
I guess the problem is that I cannot get to any recovery anymore. Any ideas?

Do you have fastboot. If so you can flash recovery from there.

Can I do that through adb shell? I don't think I built fastboot.

Fastboot is a different mode. Boot into hboot (vol down + power I think) and then select fasboot from the menu. Then plug into computer. From a command prompt type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The recovery needs to be in your tools or platform-tools folder and named recovery.img for this to work. Otherwise it would be fastboot flash recovery c:\path\to\recoveryfilename.img. Make sense?
Link to Amon_Ra Recovery 1.7 for MT3G 32B. http://www.filefactory.com/file/caa48b0/n/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G-cyan.img
Otherwise keep trying with ROM Manager. Might take a few attempts to get recovery to stick, even temporarily. It did for me. Flash once then flash again. There's also an option in ROM Manager settings to erase recovery prior to flashing. Check that and see if it helps.

I appreciate your help.
When I try to flash recovery.img, I get this: error: cannot load `recovery.img`
When I try running fastboot with absolute path, I get: FAILED (remote: not allow). Is there a way to fix this?
Tried flashing through ROM Manager many times - no result.

Interesting... Where are you trying to flash recovery.img and getting that error? What method are you using? Are you sure you have the path to recovery.img correct?
As for fastboot, you need an S-OFF/engineering spl so I guess that's out.
What happens if you use Terminal Emulator?
su
flash_image recovery sdcard/recovery.img
Does that work? Keep at it, you have root so not all is lost. Eventually you will get there.
EDIT - make sure you rename the recovery to "recovery.img" and leave it on the root of your sdcard for my italicized instructions above to work. What ROM are you running? If flash_image doesn't work I need to know which version of the binary to give you.

Thank you very much.
Running flash_image recovery command using adb shell a few times did the trick. I was able to boot to Amon RA recovery, wipe and flash CyanogenMod 6.1.0.

...Download the clockwork recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=514416&d=1297369766 image, and save it to the ..\android-sdk-windows\tools directory
renamed it to recovery.img

Since you've unlocked your bootloader, you can get into download mode by turning off phone, holding volume rocker up, plug into usb of computer.
After that, follow this guide step by step for success.

I'm having the exact same problem. How did you solve this? (I'm on a stock, rooted, Nexus S)

As posted, us Odin, first you need to download Odin and the rom to use with it, I think the only one available is a 2.3.1 100% stock, I'll try to get the link for you, on the phone, power it off, and hold down the up/down volume then connect your USB to the phone, you phone should indicate downloading ., from then follow the info posted, I'll get you the link.

LOL forgot how to Flash recovery! :)

ok so its been a while since i played with my LG.
ok so i tried flashing recovery through fastboot but it doesn't work.
i tried flashing it through phone but it doesnt work. I am currently on 2.1 stock
and wanting to flash a custom rom. BUt i don't have recovery or raidzero.
ok this is what i did.
i Downloaded recovery and put my phone into fastboot and connnected it to PC.
then i used fastbootflasherv2 to flash recovery. usually a CMD popps up and starts doing stuff, but when i did it the CMD came up and disappeared in 0.0000234secs
and it said i have sucessfully flashed and now my phone will reboot.
After reboot still no recovery.
Then i tried flashing recovery through my phone.
Downloaded Root Toolbox Pro. Flash recovery and done.
After reboot i press home button and it goes to fastboot.
Can anyone help me here?

weird i finished flashing it without problem but when i check phone no data was
lost expect root!
If it doesn't work i will just do it again!
its kinda fun to do it because everyone thinks its soooo dangerous but its not if
you do it correctly!

I'm sure you tried the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" If its not working try flashing KDZ with fastboot again

That's the generic approach you need to take on a normal phone. Samsung phones don't have a fastboot mode, you need to go into Download Mode and flash it in there.
