yea is there a way of flashing it thru terminal on mac? like the way i unlocked it and rooted

helpppppppp

flashboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img
is this wrong?

Hey man, it sounds like either you don't know how a filesystem works, or how a terminal works. Unless you skipped the step on downloading fastboot-mac. If you didn't skip that step, you need to actually change into the directory where you downloaded that file to be able to run it.

If you have fastboot installed. Make sure you have the recovery.img file in the same directory as fastboot to flash. Preferable in the 'tools' directory.

Or you can just do fastboot-mac flash recovery *drag image onto terminal window*

I believe when you flash through terminal on mac it should be ./fastboot flash recovery ./recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img

I completely forgot about that! I modified my bash_profile so all I have to do is type adb or fastboot and then the command.
Instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5691126&postcount=319

oh ok I hadn't tried that when I first rooted so I just stuck to typing out "./" but that's good I'll give that a try in the future

Im Retarded

Im seriously retarded...
I have flashed CWM on my old SGS before and had no issues... I cant for the life of me flash it on my unlocked 2.3.4 though
The directions int he dev thread seem a little skewed... Can anyone PLEASE help me with an easy step by step guide in English?
(No offense to anyone)
Thank you!!!!

I seriously agree!

Can someone please point me in the right direction? Cant I just flash that zip file that CWM is in through the charging/ recovery way? (old way) :O

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541

Directions seem fine to me
how to install:
Windows:
unzip recovery-en-goapk.zip to D:\ ## Unzip the file to wherever you want D:\ just makes it easy because there is no folders.
open a CMD in windows. ## And navigate to your fastboot directory. For example mine is on D:\Atrix\tools\
fastboot flash recovery D:\recovery-en-goapk.img ## Once you are in the fastboot directory type fastboot flash recovery D:\recovery-en-goapk.img or let says you unzipped it to C:\users\downloads. Then you would try fastboot flash recovery C:\users\downloads\recovery-en-goapk.img

I would say if you can't figure out the instructions you are better off leaving it be. Instructions were as clear as glass.

Firstly get the correct CWM recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
Then ensure that your phone still shows "unlocked" when you boot up. If it does not install the "pudding" sbf through RSD Lite again.
Ensure you have fastboot for your OS , or better still have the android SDK installed (fastboot is in the "TOOLS" folder I believe).
Extract the recovery to the root of your OS. Usually C: and as it has a long drawn out name rename it recovery.img (must have the .img extension)
Plug your phone in via the USB cable and put it into fastboot mode by holding down the volume botton while powering on the phone. When you see "fastboot" appear at the top of the screen release the volume down mutton and press volume up once. You should see "starting fasboot protocol support".
Then using a command prompt get into the folder that you put fastboot in.
If it is in the root of your C: then type cd c:\fastboot
Then simply issue the command that goes with where you put the recovery image. Assuming you renamed it recovery.img and left it in the root drive that is C: then the command will look like this.
fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img
Then issue the command fastboot reboot
Hope that helps.

1. Drop the recovery .img in the same folder fastboot is in
2. Shift+right click in folder > "Open command window here"
3. Type in fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-whateveritscalled.img then fastboot reboot when its done
4. ???
5. PROFIT!!
EDIT: Oh, and of course you must be in Fastboot mode for this to work

[q] can't flash .img file? 4.2.2

Hello! So I am in the process of updating my Nexus 4 to 4.2.2, and trying out some 4.2.2 roms. I downloaded the radio and bootloader .imgs on my desktop, and when I open the command prompt into fastboot, and type in
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz10o.img
and
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.48.img
it gives me an error saying
error: cant load 'bootloader.img': No error
What is going on? The bootloader and radio imgs are on my desktop, and yes I am in fastboot mode, and my command prompt can recognize my device in fastboot. I tried other commands like reboot and all that, and it works, but I just cant flash these files because it gives me an error. Am I doing this wrong?

Why not download the official 4.2.2 image and use the toolkit to flash? That's what I did and it worked without a hitch.

Try command prompt in the same path as your folder that contains the img files

[Q] twrp recovery not flashing

so i tried to flash twrp 2.5 instead of cwm, first through goo manager, and that didnt work. it said that the recovery was installed, but i booted into recovery and it was still cwm. then i tried it with fastboot, that didnt work either. any way to get around this? i even tried to erase revovery but that didnt work either. i checked if fastboot was working by doing the ./adb devices, and it said it was working, so idk what to do now.
thanks

start fastboot. then open a command window there, be sure that youre connected via usb and in the bootloader of your phone, type fastboot devices, check if you are visible, if you are type.. fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
if you want to delete the recovery, use the fastboot delete recovery command.

no, you wont be able to restore it via twrp. you can flash the stock factory img and become completely stock through fastboot. its 3 or four words only, and the files of course. but if you would want to restore your cwm backup, probably installing cwm recovery would do the trick.

Lg G2 LS980 Will not boot

I had stock android installed. And I had rooted. I tried to use flashify to install TWRP, but every time it rebooted it would go into fastboot mode. well, I didn't think it would be an issue if I decided to just let the stock update run it's course instead of flashing a rom. So I had the OTA for kitkat run. The phone rebooted, and will only boot into fastboot, and download mode. I need help to get back to stock of any form, root or no root. Please? I am quite far from any repair center at a hotel for the next few days, so Wi-Fi is quite slow.

open command prompt in ADB and execute

Download this > http://download1983.mediafire.com/k2...loki-ls980.img
put it in your ADB folder and rename it to recovery.img ( just easier to find it )
plug the phone in
open Command Prompt in ADB folder ( hold shift + windows button in ADB folder )
fastboot flash recovery.img ( if you are using a different recovery image, sub it here, fastboot flash blank.img)
this should give you TWRP recovery, you can the use the .zips to update ROMs

All these things can be done through ADB yes. Didn't you have to download ADB to root in the first place? You shouldnt have to download again. However if you want to check start up a command prompt and type adb devices. That should pop up something if you have adb installed. I'm not sure if you need to be in a parent folder first though.

So, I have ADB installed. I am on windows 8 though, and the shift+windows button are not opening the prompt. Furthermore when I plug my phone in the computer says "windows cannot find 'C:\ Program Files (X86)\Mobogenie\Mobogenie.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again" I have no clue what Mobogenie is!
Advice? if there is any for me?
Edit: I can get the ADB window open, but when I type the command "fastboot flash twrp_2.6.3.3_loki-ls980"
I get the following:
unknown partition 'twrp_2.6.3.3_loki-ls980'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'twrp_2.6.3.3_loki-ls980'
I am not sure what to do... Is the Mobogenie the issue? I have all of the proper drivers installed. though I don't see my device in computer on the laptop. Help please? I don't think I can take the device into sprint or lg, because it was rooted.
