How to fake flash - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I'm a S ON I need to fake flash cwm3.0.0.5 how do I do it
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Why do you need to fake flash? Run unrEVOked and select CWM as a custom recovery

Maybe they have CWM already but need or want to upgrade it for some reason. The zip files are fake flash.

Iv downloaded the zip then what do I do

put it to the root folder of the sdcard, boot into recovry
if it wont be CWM 3.0.0.5 already then go ahead and flash downloaded zip

Rom Manager (CWM) not allowing me to backup my ROM.

I'm trying to make a backup of my current rom and when I go to Rom Manager and choose Backup current rom, it then says can't mount system. I then tried going directly into recovery to try it from there and it says the samething. Anybody else having this problem or is there something I'm doing wrong? When I first rooted my G2 I was able to backup my Stock Rom but now I can't.
I'm running GingerVillain 1.4 if that's any help.

Its bcoz u have old recovery...u need to flash new clockworkmod recovery 3.....coz gingerbread uses ext4 system....which old recoveries do not support
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
U just have to download the new recovery.img file which u can find in this forum easily....put that file in the root of the sd card....then open terminal on ur phone n type these commands:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
Thats it....n remember to rename the file to recovery.img if its already not that...coz that makes it easy to type n remember...

Then u'll have the new recovery....and u can easily backup and restore ur gingerbread roms....for froyo roms u need the old recovery...for that the easiest way is to flash recovery via rom manager....hope this helps...

Can u rename zip file?

I have a downloaded a rom but the of it is -1.zip and I wanted to know if changing it to pyromod.zip will affect it anyway?

Only if you ever want/need to flash it from Hboot (then it needs to be named PC10IMG.zip). If you flash it from recovery, it shouldn't matter what its named.

Please !

Hi , can someone can make flashable zip of this - http://download.oxygen.im/radios/bravo.5.17.05.23.zip
Yeah , i know its alredy in that format but in recovey its says - use never install script
I can make new way of zip , yes , but i dont know where to send radio.img
u have to extract the zip file and flash radio.img via fastboot commands which is the best way or install Clockworkmod recovery 2.5.0.7 and and then u can just flash the zip file, i dont recommend Clockworkmod recovery but it does the job as far as flashing new radio. take a look here

Did you install custom recovery eg. CWM or TWRP?
If so, you can just try flashing again. Make sure you also flash the boot.img using fast boot.
You need to read all instructions carefully with a new rom!

Use the boot.img file from the rom you want to flash. It will be inside the zip file if not separate.

It is s-off, so you can just flash the recovery directly. Take the cwm zip file, extract it and find the file with .img extension, rename it (optional) to recovery.img. boot to fastboot and use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Oh, and also please avoid double posting in the future.

just remove PD98IMG.zip file on your sd card first..then like yumm91 said..download recovery file from TWRP, 4EXT or CWM..extract it..copy n rename it the *.img file to something like recovery.img then paste in the same folder as fastboot.exe on your adb/ android tools folder..
reboot your phone to bootloader again n select FASTBOOT..connect your phone via usb..then open cmd..source to your adb/android tools folder..then type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".. done...reboot to bootloader again then try boot to recovery
hope this help..

first you must deleted PD98IMG file on the root of your sdcard that you've tried to used before..because if the file still there...the bootloader will always tried to loaded the file it self..
then download TWRP recovery.img file from herethen place it on your adb folder..the same place as fastboot.exe folder..
then reboot your phone to bootloader again..and select FASTBOOT..then connect your phone via usb until indicator at phone change to "FASTBOOT-USB"..then type first.."fastboot devices" for checking detected of your phone..if your phone already detected.then continued to type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"..after finish..exit cmd then disconnect your phone from pc..then reboot your phone to bootloader again and check select the recovery..if flashing recovery success..your phone will go to TWRP recovery..and ready for installing any custom rom
hope you can understand this..sorry for my bad english
Bro this is what mu phone looks like...i dont know where is adb and fastboot.exe folder located...help me bro.from today morning i have been trying to flash recovery but i cant...eBay seller cheated me by giving this phone...

before you download SDK you must have latest HTC driver too..you can download in here
if used windows os jus download SDK from here..after that axtract the file then see in structure folder :
adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030>sdk>platform-tools> "this is the fastboot & adb exe folder what i mean & you must place your downloaded recovery.img file is"
then reboot your phone to bootloader..select FASTBOOT on your phone bootloader..then connect your phone to pc via usb until indicator on your phone say "FASBOOT-USB"..open cmd change source folder first to "platform-tools" folder
for example :
if this "adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030" folder are in C:\ drive on your pc..then you must change source to this..
command type :
cd c:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools
now your ready to use adb and fastboot command..
next type w/o quotes :
"fastboot devices" (to check that's your phone is connected)
then continued type :
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
done..
now you can reboot again to bootloader to check if recovery installed correctly..
if you success go to this TWRP recovery..then you can start download any custom rom from DHD forum..copied the ROM.zip file to the root of your sd card then flash it through TWRP recovery..

no..you don't need to update your hboot again...your hboot is already s-off this mean you don't need to unlock again..
just try it what i say before..your phone just need installing custom recovery for replace the stock recovery it self..then you can installing any custom rom from there..
but i'm not sure if you need to change your hboot to eng hboot..you can try flash PD98IMG.zip file from this thread first then raplace it again with PD98IMG.zip from here..
after that..you can continued step what i say before to installing TWRP recovery then installing custom rom..
