So there are probably a ton of these threads but i cant flash ANY recovery. I have tried through adb and this is what i get
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools>fastboot flash recovery recover
y-ra-vivow-3.05.IMG
sending 'recovery' (4612 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.276s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.279s
Any ideas what im doing wrong?
It looks like you don't have permissions. Are you rooted?

I recently unlocked my tmobile mytouch 3g slide's bootloader with the htc method and i'm having trouble flashing a recovery with the command prompt fastboot thing. it has:
Code:
c:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4528 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.971s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image update error)
finished. total time: 0.976s
I've seen people before who have unlocked the bootloader with the htc method do this but did not get the error. Any help would be great thanks.
Update: I'm sorry for being stupid, haha, i found out that the recovery img wasn't compatible with my phone

Do what everyone should be doing... use Rezo's tool to root and install CWM. Then use CWM to flash your ROM. Simple.

Is your bootloader unlocked? It must be to do that

Boot your device on HBOOT, and select FASTBOOT and then connect with PC. (USB Debugging must be enabled)
Follow the instructions here to Flash ROM :

It's done now.
I realize this has been discussed ad nauseam and after searching through all the posts on it I am a little confused about what my options are. My Nexus 7 2013 mobile is stuck on the Google logo. Here's what I have done..
First, I tried to simply wipe the cache partition to no avail.
Second, using the WugFresh Nexus toolkit I tried to unroot and flash stock to no avail. It would get to the point of flashing I would get remote failure error messages when trying to flash the radio etc,
Basically, all I have at this point, is the Google screen and access to fastboot and it's options and the Nexus is recognized by my computer through fastboot.
What are my options now?
Should I relock the bootloader and request Google repair it?
Or should I try to flash 4.4.4 manually through fastboot without a toolkit. If so, can you refresh my memory on how to do this?
I would appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks!
Try flashing 4.4.4 manually in fastboot. There are instructions on the page where you download the firmware. Did you flash 5.0 on a LTE model?
I did not flash 5.0. It froze during usage and I restarted it and then it suddenly would not boot past the Google logo. I did nothing to it.
I downloaded the factory image for 4.4.4 and followed instructions and ran the flash-all.bat and here is what the command prompt returns:

Is it time to relock the bootloader and hope Google will repair it?
I'm trying to flash the stock ROM for 5.0.2, and when I try to run the flash-all script, I get an error saying that boot.img is missing. I looked into the zip file where the bat file is looking, and there is definitely a boot.img there. I just updated platform-tools through the SDK manager a few hours ago, so I'm using the newest version.

Sorry for abandoning this thread. I flashed the boot and system images manually and it seemed to work. Thanks!
Hi I've been trying to flash a new recovery image over the recovery that I'm currently using ("cyanogemod recovery" (I understand that this is purely for CM updating)) but I can find no way of doing it. Via fastboot this happens (using mac terminal) after typing "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img:
sending 'recovery' (11044 KB)...

Do I need to delete the cyanogemod recovery and run this command?
Cheers in advance! (if laymans terms could be used as much as poss that'd be appreciated too!!)
