Help with Android Flasher - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to change my recovery with this tool but have come up against problems. I open up the program and then select recovery. The phone then reboots into fastboot usb as expected and then it say can not find recovery.img. I obviously have put the recovery img in the data folder and have also tried renaming it recovery.img. I am sure I am being thick but I have spent a bit of time and thought someone must have a quick answer?
Thanks in advance

You have to put the recovery.img in some place on your computer, not on the phone.
Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App

The recovery image is on the computer in the date folder that is created by unzipping andriod flasher, all the drivers are installed and I am s off etc.

I hope the recovery you want to flash is for your phone?!
I would give up android flasher, and do it directly via fastboot:
Copy recovery.img in the folder of android sdk, open command line, go to tools folder of android sdk, boot your phone into fastboot, connect it to your computer via usb and enter:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I am simply trying to flash CWM 3.2.0.1 I think it is, think I might just leave it with the alpha rev recovery that came as part of the s off procedure

hi,
to do what mattdroid says, you need adb sdk install or brwse to your android flasher with cmd line.
best is to declare variable environnement into win.
quiet simple:
1/righ click onto my computer sekect property
2/select adnvanced tab
3/ hit environment varaiables button
4/first part [user environment variable for (users)]
===> select new - a popup come up into variable name write [path] whitout bracket
==============================>variable value write [c:\the path\whereandroidflasheris] whitout bracket.
now just log off and log in.
open dos prompt and just type:
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery c:\wheretherecoveryis\recovery.img
fastboot reboot
should do the trick
hope this help

No more recovery

Hello! First of all sorry for my explanations but i'm not English. I'm S-off and tried to flash a new recovery through Android Flasher but since I can't acces the recovery anymore ! Please help me I would be grateful
Try it via fastboot.
1.Download the desired recovery .img file from the site.
2. Download android SDK from official site, and run SDK Manager. When it is running, then install the platform-tools (revision 3 ATM), too.
3. Copy the file (.img) you downloaded into the android SDK folder, where fastboot.exe is located.
4. Reboot your phone into fastboot (holding down BACK+POWER keys when the phone is switched off) - it should show FASTBOOT USB.
4a. Make sure you have the USB drivers installed (for me HTC sync is not needed, i used the UNREVOKED USB drivers instead)
5. Fastboot flash. navigate to your android SDK directory in Command Promt (CMD.EXE) then run these commands:
a, fastboot flash recovery clockworkmod2518.img (or whatever is the name of the file)
b, fastboot reboot-bootloader
c, fastboot erase cache
6. You have now the recovery installed.
You don't have to have access to the recovery to flash anything that uses fastboot. For fastboot do what davebugyi said, if you want to use the Android Flasher, just boot into the rom or even better, boot into the bootloader. It works a charm. Fastboot has never worked for me for some weird reason, never have gotten it to work but the Android Flasher works.

[Q]Now what?

So, I have succesfuly gained the AlphaRev HBOOT (thanks guys!).
But...now what?
How do I root and install CM7?
see attn1's guide with complete steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122694
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will also try to explain it.
Just download the wildfire buzz recovery from the above link (attn1's guide). Then extract the recovery img file. Rename it to "recovery.img" for simplifying the method. Then u need the working android sdk (along with google usb driver installed. Better just install HTC DRIVER). Keep this img file in the fastboot.exe folder of sdk. Then connect wildfire to pc via usb cable in fastboot mode. Then open command prompt and CD into the fastboot.exe folder. Then enter the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img where the file name is recovery.img as said above. That's all u now have the clockworkmod custom recovery.
Then if u want to use the same stock 2.2.1 rom , then u can root it by downloading "su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip" from the same above attn1's guide. U should put that zip file in the memory card and install it from the custom recovery.....(install zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard). That's all. Then install rom manager from market. This step is completely not necessary if u want to flash a custom rom. And custom rom can be flashed from the custom recovery with the same method...(install zip from sdcard > Choose zip from sdcard).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Actualy, I figured it out on my own, but thanks for helping
Okej, please can someone explain EVERYTHING. And i mean EVERYTHING, from step to step. My english isn't the best and i haven't got a masters exam in rooting.
"Then open command prompt and CD into the fastboot.exe folder."
..."and cd into the fastboot.exe folder?" Please explain this. CD= command?
And how do i do that? Gaaah, im getting crazy! And how to install the HTC Android USB Driver for Microsoft PC when all i get is some crazy files?

CD = change directory in command prompt. Pls make a google search or see this.
Assuming the path of fastboot.exe in C:\android-sdk-windows\tools of ur computer. And assuming that u have already downloaded android sdk.
Then type the command cd.. and press enter untill u get to root of c drive
Then type the command cd android-sdk-windows and press enter
Then type the command cd tools and press enter.
Then u can use the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command. And remember to keep the recovery.img in the path C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
"Then u can use the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img command."
after this says waiting for device....any suggestions? tx

U need the google usb driver. Find hboot drivers and install. Try to install htc driver (simple method) which will be 13MB in size.
If u get that even after doing so, then just connect wildfire in fastboot mode and wait for sometime till it detects the phone. Something like within 2min.

TUT SDK and Fastboot commands

Hi together!
Since this is a topic where people ask regularly, I try to make a little TUT.
I hope it is helpful.
I am a noob myself, so please don't go on me
Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong or if I missed some important stuff.
What you need:
1.
SDK Tool (type in your browser: developer.android.com/sdk/index.html)
Once you are on that page, download the package and install it.
2.
after the install process has finished, you have to install some packages.
Important is the platform-tools package (there you find the most important commands)
3.
Locate the folder on the harddisk of your PC
4.a)
Push the Windows(Start) Buttom and type: cmd
This opens the command prompt
Now get into the root of the android folder (e.g. cd.. until you get into root of your harddisk)
(on my PC, it looks like this:
cd android
cd platform-tools)
4.b)
Just one thing to make it a little easier to come into the right folder:
Open the folder with the fastbootfiles in a window.
Go to command line and type cmd and the cmd.exe will be shown in the menu.
Drag & Drop the cmd.exe into the opened fastboot folder.
When you now open this cmd, it shows the right folder at the start and you can easily type the commands without navigation through folders.
credits go to Neo XL
5.
Your phone has to be in fastboot-USB mode and connected to PC in order to understand the commands
6.
Once you are in platform-tools folder, you can type commands
Most common commands are:
fastboot erase cache (sometimes helps if phone is in HTC bootloop)
fastboot flash boot (name of boot image / e.g. boot_1.2.3.img) (this is, like the name says, to flash a boot image)
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery.img
fastboot oem lock ( to relock your phone, in case you have or want to flash a RUU)
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin (to unlock again, if you already got the unlock key from HTCDev)
Flash firmware.zip using following terminal commands:
Please rename first downloaded .zip package to firmware.zip
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
This is almost obsolete, since we have the new Recovery 5.8.3.1 with Mount USB, but it is still good to know
to push ROM to SD card, if you were running superwipe without copying the rom file onto sd
1. You need recovery.img in your fastboot directory
2. Go into bootloader and connect phone
3. Then use: "fastboot boot recovery.img" (thus booting your image from pc and not the installed recovery).
4. When in recovery, you can use the adb commands.
5. You can try with "adb devices" which should show you serial of phone.
6. command: adb push rom_rom.zip /sdcard
credits to broncogr for finding that adb works if you use fastboot boot command and to Jotha for helping me out!
Or try following:
Copy rom to your adb-directory on PC
Switch OFF phone
Connect phone to PC
Wait until you hear the "USB-Connect"-sound on PC
Go into command window in adb-directory
Type "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/"
(where rom.zip is name of rom-file)
pushing is rather slow so it will take a while. Eventually you get an "OK". Then you can go into recovery and flash it.

For now, this is what I can think of, for sure there are many more commands, but hopefully we don't need them, but like I said, feel free and put them in here
I hope this will help some noobs, like myself!
If this helped you, please push THANKS
thanks! this will stop us noob's, spamming up dev's thread's.
Thanks for you efforts
First time with real android phone, this is good!

Can you add the command to push the custom rom to sdcard without mout USB via CWM ?
Just one thing to make it a little easyer to come into the right folder:
Open the folder with the fastbootfiles in a window.

http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/21534/how-to-install-adb-and-fastboot-on-your-windows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
You have to copy the Boot.img into the folder, where fastboot-, adb commands are situated (c:/andoid/platform-tools)
Then Open cmd. Go to platform-tools folder and from there it should work.

Thanx man, but is fixed now, I did this by follow the instr. in page from my last post, and goes perfect. I just flashed new rom with 1.8 base and iam now on the bright side of life.
PS sorry for my english
@OP, last time I tried fastboot boot command it gave me device not found message(no problem when fastboot flash). What's the correct approach to make it work? I recently updated to 1.28 and I want to stay in stock for the mean time.

You can add the adb and fastboot directory path to the environment path in windows settings. You can then use adb and fastboot outside of the platform tools directory, but still in command prompt of course

I'm following your tutorial to the letter but whenever i use fastboot boot recovery.img it refuses to go into recovery. But i can boot into recovery manually and when i do there still isnt any adb devices connected.

6. command: adb push rom_rom.zip /sdcard
In point 3, it is not supposed to boot into recovery. Its for booting your recovery.img (e.g. recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img ) from PC. After this step you will automatically boot into Recovery. From there you can use adb commands.
Did you try "adb devices"?
I tried it myself and it works!

Asking about number 6,since after push rom into sd card using adb command. How long will it takes rom to place in sd card? My adb command just stuck after push rom without inform is it done or not.
And where did the push file goes? Seems I can't find it in CWM. I'm using latest cwm, but no zip file found in my sd card.

Rom should be on root of Sd.
If this is not working, you can try to use the command while phone is powered off. I am not a dev, but I read something like that:
"Switch off your phone, connect to pc, wait until it is detected by windows and use: adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/" thats what Jotha told someone on ARHD Thread.
Try that and tell us if it worked.

Easier to rename the img file to CWM
Place it in the folder that contains fastboot, adb etc within android sdk on your pc.
Put phone into fastboot usb
Open cmd on pc
CD C:/Android-SDK/platform-tools

(you need an unlocked bootloader obviously to do all of the above)

Are you using international one x with tegra 3 cpu? If so, try renaming the img file to something like cwm.img as chris suggests and try flashing. Phone must be in fastboot mode showing fastboot usb on the display. You can use fastboot devices command to make sure phone is recognized.

Bloody he'll,
Where have you installed android sdk to on your pc?
Default is to the root of C:/ (c:/android-sdk)
But some people choose to install within program files
-----
I'd recommend re-installing android sdk, because your location is just a big pain in the buttcheeks.
Basically, the first command after your phone is in fastboot usb is the location of this folder,
CD C:/location of platform-tools folder
The second command is
fastboot flash recovery imagename.img
(yes, you have to put img on the end)
---
If you chose to keep the location of your Android sdk, the first command must include the full path of your platform tools folder (which inside has your cwm img)
Your choice

Fastboot-unbrick your device with 'no display'

How to USE FASTBOOT commands in case your Device got Soft-Bricked with NO DISPLAY
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Let's describe Softbrik:-Anything caused to your phone except damage to Hardware of your phone which put your Device into a state where it is not booting up and kept showing White, Gray, Blue or Black Screen or Either It gets stuck at Company logo Screen. This may occur if something goes wrong during Rooting, flashing Recovery or ROMs or during Updating in Recovery Mode or either being caught by some wrong software or VIRUS !!!
Preface to the Guide:
Fastboot is a command line tool used to directly flash the filesystem in Android devices from a host computer via USB. It allows flashing of unsigned partition images and also can erase partitions. Its a part of Android Developement Kit (Android SDK).
Use of FASTBOOT is disabled in production devices since USB support has been disabled in the bootloader. You must have an Engineering SPL, or an SPL that is S-OFF or Unlocked bootloader to use 'fastboot'.
After installing the Android SDK or ADB Standalone you can use 'fastboot' in addition to the more common ADB.
One can use the attached .android folder if u want to skip downloading Android SDK. (Refer Attachment)
Verify SPL S-OFF or Bootloader Unlocked:
Not required for Micromax !! But certain Production Devices like Sony HTC LG etc may need bootloader to be unlocked before carrying out this process. My simple advice to people is.. "If you enjoy experiments on your device, you must be ROOTED and to ROOT you device you may need to have unlock bootloader"
Preparations:
(1) Download attached .android.zip, Extract and place .androidfolder on C:/ drive of your PC. So the path of this folder will look likeC:/.android
(Never remove this ".android" folder from C:/ coz you will require it whenever u want to experiment with you Droid using ADB or FASTBOOT methods. I assure... You can do a lot more with it; if you really explore how to use various commands !!!)
.android folder is containing adb.exe, fastboot.exe and related drivers adb_usb.ini, android_winusb.ini AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll and other files; all together not more than 800KB
(2) Connect Device in 'USB debugging ON' mode.
Ensure Drivers for your Device are already installed on the host computer
Note: I recommend you should always keep USB Debugging opetion 'ON' as it only can help you, in case, your device get SoftBricked and you cant see anything on Device Screen. Remember that with USB debugging 'OFF' your Device can't communicate with your Host Computer.
(3) Host Computer Ability to Launch Command Prompt:
On Windows-XP or earlier, to start ADB (Android Debug Bridge) You need to locate your folder containing adb.exe where as Windows-7/Vista/Other-Latest-OS can directly launch command prompt from the Folder itself by Shift+Right Click on Mouse and Selecting "Open Command Prompt from here".
Hence 'Locating 'adb' folder-steps' are for XP users only, However higher OS users can skip it and can directly start giving 'adb' commands after opening cmd from .android folder.
(4) So now, Open Command Prompt (in Windows XP), it will return like this:
Code:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME>
(As our adb.exe is in C:/.android.... we will type: Cd C:\.android)
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME>Cd C:\.android (Hit Enter)
C:\.android>
Let's give command to detect attached device by writing: 'adb device'. On hitting enter it will list all devices attached to your PC.
Code:
C:\.android>adb devices
List of devices attached
XXXXXXXX-XXXX device
Now u can do a lot while your Device is attached in 'adb mode' e.g.:
Code:
1. Rebooting into Bootloader (FASTBOOT)
2. Installing apps on as /system/app or /data/app
3. Copying Files to/from your SDCARD
4. Pulling Files or Apps already installed on your /system or /data partition
To Understand adb commands and how they work please read:
http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html#commandsummary
Let's come back to ISSUE: "We have a SOFTBRICKED devices !!!"
(1) Booting into FASTBOOT mode:
Let's come back to'fastboot' as we need to flash new ROM or to apply update.zip in a Softbricked deviceNote: Let your device remain connected to PC and don't disconnect untill You finish you job-successfully and get your Device again in working Factory Condition.
""fastboot reboot-bootloader" This command is used to reboot your device into bootloader i.e into fastboot mode) and In this Mode your device will stuck into boot logo only and u cant operate it. ;D Well we are not concerned as we already have a bricked device with no screen display !!!. Lets go ahead...on cmd follow:
Code:
C:\.android>adb reboot-bootloader
C:\.android>fastboot devices
XXXXXXXXXXXX fastboot
(2) Unlocking-ReLocking Bootloader:
(Skip if u working with pre-unlocked devices)
C:\.android>fastboot oem unlock
...
SUCCESSFUL
finished. total time: 118.063s
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(Accept/Decline warning on your devices screen. Select YES to Unlock)
(Once ROM is flashed) To relock Bootloader use command: fastboot oem lock:
Code:
C:\.android>fastboot oem unlock
...
SUCCESSFULL
finished. total time: 118.063s
(Accept/Decline warning on your devices screen. Select YES to ReLock)]
(Skip if u working with pre-unlocked devices)
(3)Get 'Recovery.img' and 'Update.zip' for your Device:
Lets Wipe the Data and then proceed to Flash new ROM/Update.zip
IMPORTANT: Copy the stock recovery.img and your devices' Update.zip[ in .android folder(You can get it even by searching it in this forum or by Googling for it..) So I assume that you have it....in your .android
Abbreviations:
recovery.img = Stock Recovery of your Device
Update.zip = Update Package/Stock ROM of your Device
Let's start wiping and updating process with following commands:
(4)Wiping Old Data and Flashing new Update.zip:
Code:
C:\.android>fastboot -w
SUCCESSFUL
C:\.android>fastboot update Update.zip
(Here Replace Update with Full Name of your any Update.zip that you copied to .android folder)
Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the Factory State. Cheers !!!
Note: Its important to spell the file name correctly that u want to flash/update. No space between name are allowed. This process will only be successful if your device is still carrying recovery partition 'intact'.
.....If above wiping/updating FAILS....
If you still in "No Display State", extract update.zip to .android folder (U can use 7zip).
You will find following main .img files, each incorporate specific partition on any android device. In our case we can extract following:
boot.img -The main kernel and initrd
recovery.img -A 'backup' kernel, initrd, and OS 4 sysm recovery/maintanance
sytem.img -The main OS
userdata.img -User data and settings
splash.img -Has Boot image. can be splash1 as well.
cache.img -Temp storage
...there can be similar partition names depends on your device type.... but basically these 6 partitions constitute a ROM. Copy all of (6) files to .android folder. (Henceforth, we can use this recovery.img as stock recovery for your device.)
"As your device is bricked/corrupted, we need to erase all old Partitions and flash (rewrite) new partitions that we have extracted from Update zip and placed in .android."
(1) Lets erase all partitions first (one by one)using: fastboot erase <partition>
Code:
C:\.android>fastboot erase system
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase recovery
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase boot
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase userdata
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase splash
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot erase cache
Successful
(2) Continuing with Flashing new partionsusing the Images copied in .android:
Command: fastboot flash <partition> <partition_name.img>
Code:
C:\.android>fastboot flash boot boot.img
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot flash system system.img :(here people gen. get stuck
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot flash splash splash.img
Successful
C:\.android>fastboot reboot
If all successful, Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the Factory State. Cheers !!!

..If you are Unable to flash 'system.img' successfully...
Reason: Your device is not allowing to format and rewrite 'system' partition manually. If your device is Rooted then probably such failure will never occur.
Let's overcome this Issue as well...Try Following...
First, Understand current State of Device...
We Wiped out old partitions and Flashed new partitions except :-\ system :-\ So No System on your Device at present.
What we will do now..
We will now wipe all partitions again
We will then flash only recovery.img saved in .android folder
We will use update.zip saved in .android folder to Flash it using SD Card.
We will copy update.zip on SD Card (using adb). If you can do it manually using a card reader skip step-II in below process.
Step-I: Wiping 'partitions' and Flashing 'recovery.img':Let's wipe all partitions again:
Code:
C:\.android>fastboot -w
C:\.android>fastboot reboot-bootloader
C:\.android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
C:\.android>reboot
Step-II: Copy update.zip on SDCARD
Code:
C:\.android>adb push update.zip /data/sdcard
Step-III: As you can't manage to see what is happening on screen(No Display) hence Don't do mistakes here, read carefully and follow exactly:
1.Reboot Device into Recovery Mode:
On cmd type:
Code:
C:\.android>adb reboot recovery
2.Now Press 'Volume(-)' button ONCE. (Once means 'once only'-if you did mistake here repeat the Step-III)
3.Press 'Power' Button TWICEand Leave you Device for some 10 Minutes time.
If phone don't get alive in 10 Minutes Repeat Step-III again.
You may not able to see but Your phone will update and automatically reboot into the Factory State. Cheers !!!

Explaining Last Step:
We used simple logic in last procedure/ Its nothing but updating using Recovery Mode. Always remember Custom Recovery of Micromax A56/57 has following options: (May be diferent for other devics)
As the default curser in recovery UI remains on Option-1 and we needed to choose Option-2.
Hence to select "Apply update for sdcard" we pressed 'Vol(-)'ONCE and then to Confirm and execute that option Tapped 'POWER' button TWICE.

I think for going in recovery:-
1. Press and hold power button.
2. While holding power key, press and hold both volume keys, (vol+ & vol-)
3. When mmx logo comes it will display a message vol(+) for recovery and vol(-) for fast boot then again press vol(+) for once,
And now your in recovery
I lost my recovery.
And I can't go into recovery mod!!

I have a problem with fastboot stuck on system erasing on adb fastboot mood also userdata and cache only flash recovery and boot img sp flash not working with this phone I do other mtk android with sp tool successfully what I do
What if the device is recongised in adb as : (device name) recovery, but can't actually boot into recovery (twrp) and thus when entering the command : adb reboot fastboot it can never actually boot into fastboot ?
Are there any adb commands that can do the trick or is it game over ?
