On my HTC Hero when I flashed it to a new ROM I used this guide which is all done on the device.
I'm about to upgrage a friend's GT540 for him and wondered if there was a similar way of doing it?
Can I install the recovery after rooting the device? Or is the only way to find a Windows PC and install fastboot?
Thanks.
Yep windows pc cus u need to use kdz

Thanks bs828.
Was hoping it was going to be as easy as the HTC
we all did
the flash_image command can only be used after we flash a custom rom. i tried on the stock v20e from lg does not work.....

It should work if you push the flash_image binary to your rooted device. Try with this:

still need kdz if you want fastboot
i dont think we needed it. we got fastboot only to flash a recovery but in the end we used both :/

kdz is just for the real men amongst us
I've used it more times than I can remember and I like the excitement! Sometimes my phone has looked seriously bricked but I always got it back.
i dont think im a man yet(male but not man)(14.... 15 in sep) LOL

Trying to install viper rom on my epic and when I'm in clockwork recovery mode it gives me this error:
E:/ Cant open / cache/ recovery/log
What does this mean? What can i do to resolve this. I keep getting errors when I try to install the rom.
I believe you are in the wrong version of clockwork. For the latest viperRom the cwm needs to be Orange 3.0.0.5
Reroot your phone with one click and try again. It appears your phone has lost root. If that doesn't work their are posts in the viper rom thread that describe a process of going back to stock and working your way to viper rom 4.02b. Another alternative is if you haven't flashed viper rom 4.01 first you might try that.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Dont think that is the problem I cant install any ROM s right now including the stock ROM.
Reflash one click root. It will reinstall clockwork for you and that might fix your issue. If not you might have to use odin to go back to stock. The links for this stuff is in the sticky above.

What v. are you trying to install? Is it ext4? what color is the text (v. #) in cwm?

Yeah you need to instal the dk28 modem first. In the epic sticky their is a version of dk28 froyo that you can flash through odin. Try that and then one click root and then instal viper rom.

Okay, but this is general section, not Q/A and should be there but today is Friday and I am tremendously happy lol
1. Download 4.4 Radio and 4.4 ROM. (say thanks to Imperticus)
2. Put both zips in your sdcard
3. Go to recovery and do: wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and format system (optional, advisable for upgrading to 4.4)
4. Flash Radio.zip
5. Flash ROM
U don't need any gapps since this is a factory image...
If you want a rooted/deodexed/busybox ROM download this one in stead of the other (say thanks to fireb33)
If u have any problem just let me know.

Flash Stock+Unroot (choose 4.4 option), after that root and put recovery. check if radio and bootloader ok.
P.S.
I think it's good for 4.4. to wipe device and do clean one.

you do realize that most the people here on xda do not use english as their first language? unfortunately not everyone here speaks or writes in english as well as you. hopefully you can understand that, and have a bit more patience and understanding, thank you.

ive gone and broken everything
ive never had issues updating various cyanogen versions once originally installed clockwork recovery. always been as simple as downloading and transferring the zip to SD and booting to recovery and installing from SD when i didnt do the auto updates which still took me to recovery at reboot. but i got impatient for the 4.4 version which reading from cyanongen is in no hurry to release because just released milestone version of 4.3. I downloaded the 4.4 zip right from google and tried installing it from SD like i always did after doing all the various wipes. The google factory image wasnt even recognized by clockwork. so doing some googling got here with steps to radio and os images got them transferred over and booted to recovery and they were at least selectable. got radio to go through. the actual os got error 7 during install, which doing even more googling said should edit a file in the zip contents. Too bad now cant get past the google logo and goes right back to recovery menus for me to transfer editted zip file for the error 7 problem. So im at least partially bootable but no clue how the heck to get myself out of this mess ive gotten myself into due to my impatience and wanting latest and greatest for my nexus 4. would love any help in how to undo problem i caused because the whole adb thing is foreign to me

Do you guys honestly think your posts have enough information to be able to help? We need more information, For example what guide was you following as there are multiple. What recoveries have you tried were they thought the right variant? etc. etc. etc.

Make sure you grab the right twrp file for your device. make sure you have your loki file in the ADB tools folder.
Use this Guide and it should work like a charm
i recommend changing the name of your TWRP '.img' to 'recovery.img' so its easy to type in the command window
