extract the .img from the radio/recovery ect you want to flash, put the phone in fastboot mode and connect it to your pc, copy the .img file to the tools folder inside your android sdk, open a command prompt and navigate to the same tools folder. then use the command (example for a radio) fastboot flash radio xxxxxx.img if its a standard update.zip though just flash it through recovery.

Thanks alot buddy!

[Q] how to flash via fastboot?

You put your device in fastboot, connect it to your pc, open a command prompt, navigate to the tools folder, and use the fastboot flash command, for example to flash a radio, use the command, fastboot flash radio *****.img. also for ease copy the .img file to the tools folder in you android sdk.

it's a recovery? RA recover 2.0.0
No One knows?
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Or
From terminal on phone you can type
su
flash-image recovery /sdcard/recoveryname.img
Both of these answers are in the amon recovery thread. If you looked you could have had your answer days ago...
Also, if you didn't know what you're doing what was the point in going S-OFF?? To look cool???...

From AlphaRev-Recovery to AmonRa

Hey guys. Sure it has been asked already. But I tried different ways to flash AmonRa and no one worked. Want to change the recovery because AlphaRevs version is not able to flash radio images.
Tried via:
-Rom Manager (Can't choose "Flash alternate Recovery")
-Unrevoked (unspecified error while rooting)
So what can i do else?
Thx!
phone is certainly rooted and s-offed
Have you tried Android Flasher?
Are you s-off? If yes, do it via fastboot.
But remenber: If you restore a nandroid backup made with clockworkmod by using amonra, you will get an usb brick.

Get android sdk and the needed drivers:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
Copy the recovery.img to the tools folder of android sdk. Boot your phone into fastboot, connect your phone to your computer, open command and there the tools folder of android sdk and type
Code:
fastboot devices
Now it should the serial number of your device. If it does, type
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
thx! will try it later this day.

Try and reboot your computer and phone. It sometimes gives an error. Rebooting can help.

Try and redownload the recovery.img.

Probably you didnt put "recovery.img" into "c:\fastboot" folder. Copy "recovery.img" into "c:\fastboot" and rerun flash recovery command

You dont navigate the CMD prompt to the right place ... or you dont have installed android drivers.
Ive just rooted my one x. When i downloaded CWM my file was not called recovery.img. Are you sure youve downloaded the correct file. I had to type: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
Re-download it from: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
Stick that file in your fastboot folder and try again.
you obviously have the drivers installed as you unlocked the bootloader, so if the command is not working for you and you're typing recovery.img, is your .img file ACTUALLY CALLED 'recovery.img' you need to type the exact filename
from your screenshot you are typing literally 'recovery.img' yet I BET YOU THE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED IS NOT NAMED RECOVERY.IMG
OT: We really need a basic technical literacy test for people to pass before they flash lol
99% of these issues are fundamental errors like not even having the android usb driver installed, typing in the wrong .img name (because they copied and pasted a command without understanding what its really doing), not having the .img file in the same folder, rushing and doing fastboot flash boot recovery.img or something similar.
Also I wonder why the size of that recovery.img is 5797 KB when the right recovery is 5760 KB.
So I suggest to download again the recovery, maybe use the one from RichardTrip : http://xda.richardtrip.org/HTC/reco...kwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru_fixedadbusb.img

unable to load recovery.img

I'm not new to this root, recovery etc. Windows 8.1 , disabled device driver signature enforcement, adb installed as administrator, able to boot to bootloader by adb commands, fastboot devices shows device ID, but when fastboot flash recovery.img shows unable to load recovery.img ,but recovery image is in fastboot folder in C, what to do ?
I think when you renamed the file to recovery.img it added a double extention. So recovery.img.img rename it properly andere i think you are good to go.
Syntax is
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Thank you. I'm not rename with .img and I know fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, I think it's due to file pathway problem but after 1 day search I could not figure it out. In my old laptop with windows 7 I was not met with any problem but my new windows 8.1 laptop has this problem.

You are right, it is a problem of the path. May be you can keep the .img file in another location and type the full path of the file.

Fastboot stuck

Anyone here can help me, because I'm stuck in fastboot mode after I tried to root my device using magisk.
Qfil not recognise my device (also Adb, using "Adb devices" devices)
Bootloader Unlocked
Unrooted
Hi you need to activate Test Mode in Windows and install qdloader drivers in device manager (listed as Qh_USB_BULK or something like that) Google it. In my Google drive folder is a Firmware for qfil otherwise download it from Hikary calyx Website. Just Google 'Nokia 3.2 edl firmware'. You need to remove those lines in rawprogram0.xml which are not as image there. So compare the filenames in this file and delete those lines where a image is not in that folder (like dp_AP_signed.mbn is not in that folder so remove the line)
Good luck
i am also stuck on fastboot mode. i want to get back to stock rom. whats the procedure

Would the "Nokia 3.2 edl firmware" work as well for the Nokia 2.2? I haven't found any firmware specific for the 2.2. Also, would the firmware contain the boot.img file? (I just want to root the 2.2 and this is the file I'm missing).
I had the same issue after trying to install an incompatible custom ROM the way I fixed it is by:
1- downloading the stock ROM
2- extract it
3- while the phone is in fastboot flash all .img files like this:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
etc...
after flashing all .img files type
Code:
fastboot reboot
and that's it, it might tell you your phone isn't trusted this will go after a system update.

Okay so what you want to do is download the stock ROM, just go in Google then search nokia 3.2 stock ROM, after download right click then extract, then hold shift then right click on nothing in the extracted file then click on open with powershell, after that just type the code
