When I was with G1, I used the command flash_image to flash the recovery or boot img. But in G2, I couldn't found the command...
Is there anyway to flash the image without fastboot or rom manager?
flash_image isn't in the stock ROM, you're right.
Without fastboot or ROM manager I am not sure how you can do it. Maybe you can just "dd" the image to the partition but I have not seen this documented anywhere, so I highly recommend you do not try that.;
Try doing a search on flash_image. I think a few others might have tried downloading a binary for flash_image, I can't remember how they got on.
If you copy on the eng hboot then you will have the fastboot options to do it (assuming adb/fastboot is setup on your PC).

Heres a link on how to flash recovery without fastboot or rom manager, it uses terminal emulator, the instructions here are flashing CWM recovery 3.0 for gingerbread but the instructions can be used to flash any recovery IMG.

That won't work on a stock ROM though, it uses flash_image which isn't in the ROM and needs to be downloaded (as I said, I'm not 100% sure on if this definitely works on Vision).

Here we go again steviewevie ( the wanna-be forum Mod), please tell me where in the OP's post he says he's on a stock ROM?????????? Did I miss Something???????
He asked what are the commands to flash recovery without fastboot or rom manager, and thats all he asked or specified and thats what I gave him. Again you are assuming to know what they really need.
And the link I provided is from a HTC VISION thread, so it definitely works on Vision.

Well, I'm making an assumption, yes. He's asking about flashing recovery without ROM Manager, so I am assuming he is on the stock ROM. Yes, that might be an incorrect assumption.
I'm not sure what your problem is with me. All I did was point out that wouldn't work on a stock ROM (which is true), you make it sound like I posted up a personal attack on you.
Yes, whenever *anyone* posts anything up quite often you need to ask questions and/or make assumptions about what they're doing. It's not the end of the world.
Yes, that's an HTC Vision thread but it's also a thread about CM. If he's on CM then he may well have the command.
Also bear in mind that others may read the thread who are on stock ROMs. I was simply pointing out that flash_image is not in the stock ROM.
To the OP - you can get flash_image from http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Flash_image
But if I was you I would search on "flash_image" in the Vision forums to see what others have found.

Well, thanks for your opinion on my posts. I think perhaps you need to look at the vast majority of my posts, not one or two.
But anyway, I did already post about flash_image not being in a stock ROM, and since the OP couldn't find the command flash_image in his ROM, then I think it's not a totally unfair assumption to make that he's on a stock ROM. But if the assumption is wrong that's fine, no need to get all personal about it.

Actually it does, at least if we are talking about 6.1.1 stable. I know because that's how I got the binary. You can download the CM update zip, extract the files and flash_image is in there (in /system/bin).
I haven't actually tried to use the flash_image extracted from the CM zip because by the time I figured it out I had already given up and used ROM Manager to flash the recovery, but I suspect it will work.

Yes. I had a SGS before, so I know where you're coming from. Basically it's the same process, you put the zip on the SD and flash it. The difference is that you have to manually flash the boot.img before with fastboot. If you unlocked your bootloader you already sucessfully set up fastboot, so you're done half the way. You can follow the tutorial found here. I do recommend using the official non-touch CWM instead of TWRP, which some people say has random freezes. Be sure to use a cm9 kernel. I use KISS. It's best to understand all the steps in advance so you won't do a careless mistake.

Ok, fastboot means having your phone connected via usb, typing commands into your computer. The hardest part for me was setting it up the first time. I think one of the linked tutorials explains it, otherwise try searching for it on google. Also there are a few threads in the Q&A section which should be of help. Once you have it set up you need to copy the kernel into the fastboot folder on your computer, rename it boot.img and type into the terminal: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Yes, as kernel you use the cm9 one.

CLICK ME FOR POST.
This is his topic full of stock recoveries and what-not
--------------------
Bear in mind that I do not have the time to restore to stock, and then check it for myself if you can extract the stock recovery without root, but you probably can. Please refer to the quote I will post below as I have little time to clean this post up.
Please thank user Davy Jones for actually finding the solution!
Davy Jones said:
Okay, I don't know any coding so I apologize if this is a dumb suggestion, but is it possible to follow the article's directions to pull recovery? So from shell:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22 of=/sdcard/recovery.img bs=4096
I'm already on cwm so I have no way of testing this. Also, please don't try this unless you know what you are doing. I tried this on cwm and it created a file that was 10MB instead of the .img I originally flashed, which was 5.98MB.

My post starts here
-------------------------------------------
Alrighty that's wonderful. I am trying a guide right now and I will see if I am successful at extracting a recovery and I will report back.
EDIT
I've made wonderful process, and I've extracted a 10mb file which what the recovery.img supposed to be resized to.
So i've basically typed in
After this, I got a huge list of the partitions, and using this I've confirmed that mmcblk0p22 is the block that contains the recovery (I also made sure that I didn't extract something else, etc by checking what the userdata and sdcard size is supposed to be?
Then I typed in
and got
So I ended up with a 10MB file sitting in the root of my internal memory (known as sdcard)
Now I will try to confirm if it is the same file as my recovery.
EDIT
Well after more digging around.. I found this and where it says "Download - Recovery Image Method (using dd):" It shows that the block which the recovery is in in actually the same as the one above, so there was an easier way. Oh well! At least we confirmed that we have the correct file, the question is, can we flash it, guess I'll try after I get home.
If you want to try this out on a NON-Rooted one, you'll have to go to Settings>Developer Options>Root access and allow ADB.
-----------------------------------------------
Quote ends here.
Hopefully you're a Koodo owner reading this and have noticed the title.
Many of us Koodo owners, have rooted, installed a custom recovery, and have started the flashing frenzy, but we have forgot one thing.
No its not making a NAND of the stock ROM, its the fact the we forgot to backup our stock recoveries! I know it might not be a difference compared to the Telus recovery, but we still need to be sure, that when we want to update, or if we want to return the phone, what we are fully stock.
So what I'm asking you, is to make a backup of your Koodo stock recovery, and share it with us
Unfortunately I do not know how to extract a recovery.img. So hopefully an XDA member will post a guide in this to help us extract the .img
or as always, Google is your best friend
Cheers, and thanks

Yes I believe it is still possible, just make sure Debugging mode is on and you are using the ADB method, and not the one that has the Android Terminal one. Thanks
My friend and my girlfriend both have Stock Koodo Phone... so i'm gonne try to bring the original Koodo Recovery.img. I read the articles from addictive tips... but i think i missed something, They said we need to root the phone but the first step in the method to root the phone is to install CWM recovery IMG via Odin... So it will overwrite Koodo original Recovery.img.... before i extract it...
Any clue or hint ???
Maybe another way to root via ADB ???

KOODO STOCK IMAGE/RESTORE
Directions: Download these three in the same folder - Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Use Winrar/7zip to only extract Part 1 after you have all three parts in the same folder. You should get a folder called clockworkmod. There should be another folder called "backup" inside.
Put the "clockwordmod" folder in your sd card.
Use clockwordmod to restore after factory reset, wipe system, wipe dalvik cache.... It is recommended that you use Clockwordmod 6 - it can be found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1823117

You realize backing up any part of your original stock ROM is pointless? All you have to do pick up the original stock tarball from Samsung's website, fire up ODIN, flash, and then not even Samsung can tell you ever did something to your phone. It will be stock everything: radio, recovery, ROM...
---------- Post added at 08:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------
Here, follow the instructions: http://fus.nanzen.se/
There are no presets for Koodo, but all the information you need is readily available on the original box your phones came in.
And if you really need the Koodo recovery for whatever reason, it is an IMG file inside the TARball. You can just DD it in place.
Long time lurker, first (maybe second) time poster.
I'd really like to mess around with my phone's potential, but every time I flash a custom ROM I lose all data connectivity. 2g/voice works fine, but 3G and LTE are out the window.
Here are a few things I've tried AFTER flashing to a customer ROM. I come from years of using HTC phones and software, so I'm definitely fumbling around in the dark here. Please, excuse me if I sound ridiculous.
- I'm on Sprint
- Flashed radio zips in recovery (various ones from reading other threads)
- Used Odin to flash radio files (various ones from reading other threads)
- Repeatedly attempted to update Profile and PRL with error messages saying I couldn't update them and to call customer service
I'm not really sure what else to put up here or to try. I'm hoping the great XDA can help out! Again, I only loose data connectivity after flashing a new ROM. Unlock and root do not effect radios, and I'm able to use the phone just fine on stock software.
Attached is a screenshot of my stock build.
Thanks,
Brandon
I am a little baffled that after 150 views, no one else on this board has shared a similar experience. While its remotely possible, there is just no way I am the only one to have had this issue.

So, here's my order of operations here...
1) flash factory image with fastboot
2) install custom ROM
3) ???
4) Profit?
I mean, if there are other steps, I'm sure I can figure them out. So, I'm assuming that there is typically no need to do anything to the radios after installing a ROM?
after flashing the stock images (all of them, dont leave any out just to be sure) youd need to flash the custom recovery and then you can install the custom rom.

Sorry, but when you say all of the stock images, what do you mean? What other stock images are there?
And wait, sorry, there's something I didn't mention. I've been using the GN ToolKit for a lot of this. How do I push the stock image you linked me to using fastboot? I'm familiar with using ADB and all that, but I have no idea what to do without a guide. I certainly am not a programmer, just an enthusiast.

Alright. Two hours later and after all that... same result. No matter what I do, booting to any custom ROM does not allow me to access 3G/LTE. Should I just give up? lol
Alright, I've been doing some research and apparently I need my phones unique MSL codes to enter in after I flash a new ROM. Any suggestions on how to find my MSL and how to type these codes in after flashing?
Update:
Found a way to get my MSL using a script in terminal w/ root. I can access the data settings menu, but STILL cannot get my MSL for this.

Well like there are custom sense kernels, there are also custom aosp kernels. Check the original android dev section. You see some kernel headlines that are also for aosp. Try one it might help.

Ohh, nice. I have no idea what kernel to flash though, do I just pick any? And what version exactly? I am at a loss.
read the respective thread, search if there is an aosp version of the kernel, read if there are issues and flash one (repack if required)... test if for some days and if you are not satisfied take another one and start over

Okay, I guess I'll try. Hope it can be fixed if I screw something up again.

sure you can take a nandroid backup before starting, it is always the best choice and the fastest way to revert back in case of issues

I tried two different AOSP versions of the Next EP kernel, but to no avail. Do you have any specific suggestions that you know will work, or does it just have to be guess-work?

Thanks a lot, the threads are conflicting a bit in info though. After flashing the kernel, do I have to extract the boot.img and flash that in fastboot? Some threads tell me to do this, some threads don't.
EDIT: I tried it and now it seems to work. Thanks a lot for the help guys, you are awesome!

yeah, just like you did with the rom one...
boot.img = kernel
kernel_name.zip = kernel modules
you can avoid flashing the boot.img only if your hox is s-off and the developer put the instruction to flash the boot.img in the updater script inside the zip file... so flash it via fastboot

Oh wow yes sorry relock bootloader by fastboot oem lock. Also if you changed your cid should match the ruu you want to flash.

If you don't know how to revert back to stock HTC firmware, you have no business flashing custom ROMs. Plus....did you even google your inquiry? No.
Search the forums.

Did you unlock the bootloader yourself? If so, you know enough about fastboot to relock the bootloader.
Also, if you do fastboot getvar all, and post the result (delete IMEI and serial number) we can see the CID, and determine what RUU (if that CID has one).
Or the other option to go back to Sense Marshmallow, is to restore a stock TWRP backup as suggested. Here is another thread of such stock TWRP backups, and this one has better instructions:

EDIT: Fixed the link above, which was clearly not the right one (intended for a reply to a different thread).

While the post was not particularly polite (nor is he required to be so), I do agree with the main point: if you are flashing custom ROMs, you really should have researched how to return to stock. I see that a lot of folks skip this (you aren't the only one, by far), but I also don't see why they do. Would you take apart your car's engine without knowing how to put it back together? Probably not.
Along those basic lines (good rules of thumb for phone modding), if you had simply made your own backup of the stock ROM before flashing a custom ROM; you could simply just restore that backup in order to revert to stock. It's a basic good practice: never do any mods (root, custom ROM) without first making a TWRP backup.

Thank you and yes. I should have known better before flashing an RR ROM I didn't search for it because i thought it was simple
But are you saying that i can download another stock ROM TWRP backup and flash it and i'd good to go or i have to get the right RUU ?

Modding phones is not simple. You should research and understand everything properly, before you do any mods to any device. Maybe all the YouTube guides and one-click root apps make phone modding look easy, but it's really not a trivial thing.
Maybe it's just my own personality. But to me, it's basic logic that you shouldn't tinker with an electronic device that cost hundreds of dollars, without having some backup plans, knowing how to undo the mods, etc.

You can do either (restore stock TWRP backup vs. run RUU). That is, assuming your version M8 has an RUU, not all do (and you haven't given any info that would allow us to determine that).
I already said that restoring a stock TWRP backup was an option, and it was also suggested by another (Post #8 above). So I don't now what you asked that question. Obviously it's something you can do; otherwise why would we say it was?
Keep in mind that a stock TWRP backup is not exactly the same as a flashable ROM. You need to extract the files, save them to the proper place on the phone, then use the RESTORE option in TWRP (as opposed to INSTALL for flashable ROMs). The process (and required files) can be found on the following thread (I tried to give this link above, but linked it improperly - so here it is again):

That's good. You can even try different Sense ROMs, not necessarily going back to stock ROM. :angel:

I wish I could try Resurrection Remix too. but unfortunately I cant use all of Naugat ROMs
Why dont you also try some of the ROMs other then pure M8 ROM, e.g. M10 Sense ROM etc? I am running M10 ROM and its fantastic.
I always be with the positive and jolly vibes and encourage others to be like this
