What are the commands for flashing a rom in fastboot?
Ive tried
Code:
fastboot flash ----.zip
?
Am doing this cause JOKERDROID4.2BUZZ.zip wont flash in clockwork mod 3.2.0.0 or 4.0.0.2. It flashes in 2.5.1.7 but boot loops. I am coming from cm7 what do you think?
You can only flash a particular partition with Fastboot, like /system /data, Recovery, boot etc. AFAIK, You cant flash a Zip ROM as is the case with CWM.
You can check the list of Fastboot Commands here:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot
Also, you got 2.5.1.7? Where? AFAIK Wildfire only has 2.5.0.7. Anyway, you can use Fastboot to replace your CWM 3.x or 4.x with 2.5.0.7, then try flashing Jokerdroid. Also, make sure you are performing a wipe (Factory Reset / Wipe data in Clockworkmod)
Where can i get 2.5.0.7?
Cant remember where i got 2.5.1.7 the file name was 2.5.0.7 but cwm said 2.5.1.7?
It's there under Custom Recoveries:

jokerdroid just bootloops!?
i have wiped and wiped cache and delvik!
Try Redownloading the ROM. Or, if you search the thread, there is one version which is clocked at 648MHz. Try that. Probably the high CPU clocks are not suiting your device.
EDIT: Scratch that. Its clocked at 710, so shouldn't cause an issue.
Well after boot looping 5 or so times it rebooted cwm then rebooted system and bootlooped once but the powered up? Wierd!
if you want to flash a .zip package:
fastboot update filename.zip
if you want to flash an img. file:
depending whether you want to flash a new recovery:
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
or a new ROM:
fastboot flash system filename.img
I do however strongly recommend erasing you current recovery before flashing a new one:
fastboot erase recovery
and do a full wipe (this will erase your data, recovery and system partitions)
fastboot erase system -w

A quick question. I want to replace my AmonRa recovery with RMD recovery through fastboot. Do I fastboot erase recovery then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img? Or do I just flash the image directly?
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img safer way
There is no problem in deleting the old recovery before you flash a new one.
I thought that it would'nt overwrite the already present recovery if I flashed directly.
Anyways, I flashed RMD successfully (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).
Every time I try to flash boot.img for a custom ROM using fastboot the bootloader on the device crashes (gets stuck until manual reboot).
It seems to flash fine according to terminal.
To test, I just flashed the newest CWM recovery using fastboot and that worked fine. Bootloader didn't get stuck.
The device is crashing a lot since installing 1.29 ROMs so I think boot.img isn't flashing.
any ideas?
is that after changing roms?
You need to have correct boot.img for the ROM you are using.
Also, between changing ROMs, you should delete at least(!) the cache partition (fastboot erase cache), preferably whole /data (will reset to factory!).
Simply put - I think erasing cache will solve your problem: fastboot erase cache
Did you manage to resolve this in the end? I'm getting exactly the same issues.
Naturally, after posting, I realised that I was typing fastboot boot boot.img, forgetting to add the "flash"
Actual syntax: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Hello,
Id appreciate any help with my problem:
After wishing to upgrade to JB from ARHD 9 (ICS), I flashed the correct Hboot and upgraded CWM to 5.8.4.0. However, when trying to flash the ARHD ROM, im getting a "failed installation" message after selecting the zip on the SD card. I thought it might be the boot.img i was using (from the download section), so used the one from the ROM zip instead. No luck. I erase the cache etc very time I can.
Any ideas to what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance
so you have a hboot 1.3* and you flashed the boot.img with fastboot command
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
then entered recovery and did a FULL wipe (also dalvik cache under the advanced tab)
then trying to install the rom.zip ?
install failed, redownload the rom, might be corrupted !

I am seeking your help to clear up some of my confusion in solving a problem with my HTC ONE X. I tried flashing a custom ROM on my HTC Android phone but all the files and partitions got messed up that every time it boots up, it is on a bootloop. I know the cause to this is due to a mixture of inconsistent (boot, recovery)partitions libraries that I have on the phone.
Therefore, I want to FULLY WIPE OF ALL the data on the phone's storage and reinstall a clean set of libraries and stock rom. However, before I wipe off all data and install the new stock rom, I want to know all the commands that I can issue to correct this problem but the problem I have is that the stock zip has a boot.img, hboot.img and recovery.img along with a set of folders (System and Meta-inf folders) and I don't know the command that I can issue to push the folders I mentioned in the right partition, "/system" partition. Moreover, I cannot boot into any recovery modes (CWM or TWRP) so everything has to be done via fastboot commands, I think.
I know I can execute the following commands if everything(all the partitions) were an .img file but for the folders I do not know how to push them onto my phones storage.
For example to push the boot content on the boot partition, I issue the following command to flash the device
fastboot erase boot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and the following for the rest of the partitions:-
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and so on..
So what would be the solution to push those folders that are non img format related onto the right partitions? Flash it as a zip file?
Lastly, the phone is unlocked, CID: 11111111, Hboot: 1.09 and can only boot into fastboot mode for now. I also tried running the automatic RUU files via zip and exe formats but always fail due to signature or some other missing file error.

if you flash that recovery it will go back to stock lol you need to flash a firmware.zip...for more information please read the guides to how to flash it...all what you need to know and need to flash is stated in those guides
Hboot 1.09 that's not a endevour HTC one X ! .....what does the top of the bootloader say ?
And second.....questions do not belong in the general section !!!
And give the outcome of :
Fastboot getvar version-main
I have a stock, rooted nexus 7 Flo on 5.0. I would like to move to 5.0.1 but I cannot because the update cannot install through Android because of CWM and there doesn't appear to be a flashable zip to use!
Download the system image then:
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot format cache
Then flash the root zip through twrp. Done.
Or you could flash the stock recovery, flash the OTA, then reflash CWM.

Won't this wipe all my data? I don't want to redo my device.
No it won't wipe data. Data will only be wiped if you use the flash-all file without removing the -w or fastboot flash userdata.
That was useful!
