Hello guys,
I have a little question. Is it possible to install a custom rom with terminal commands, maybe with adb or fastboot, via fastboot or in recovery?
Thanks for your help

For example rom manager do it with android commands? Or how to do rom manager this?

Try
fastboot update whatever.zip
I'm not responsible if you brick your phone or anything like that

This method is not possible, bc you need the img files and the android-info.txt, so not really what i want to do
But thanks for answer!
Is there a way to retrieve the past few terminal commands? Then we can try replicate what rom manager did.

In the sdcard/clockworkmod folder there is a report.log file. Check it out.
Sent from my Wildfire S using XDA
run this
Code:
adb shell recovery --update_package=/sdcard/name_of_downloaded_zip.zip
where /sdcard/name_of_downloaded_zip.zip is the location and name of the rom you wish to use
ADB or Fastboot will never work. I can't explain why ATM. Technical stuff. Maybe there is a file that has its part in booting into recovery.

I thought your device is already rooted and cwm installed
you buy a new one or have just flash using RUU signed?

Try flashing ruu, and make phone working. I'll try to find script I used to root my wfs, and then you can try to install recovery using terminal emulator

So as will be immediately obvious, I am new to posting on this site and I'm sure the title will explain why. Before I start, I was using (the 'was' will be explained later) a rooted stock ROM and I had not backed it up (the instructions I used forgot to mention it).
The 2.17 HOX OTA update was finally released by three (I'm currently on 1.28) and I hoped that this update would fix several problems I've been having (standard HOX problems like battery life, camera quality, lag, and an ever growing system data). So I was fairly desperate to install this update, but when I tried clockwork recovery told me that it failed, and by using google I discovered that I'm not the only one with this problem.
This where I get stupid. In desperation to install this update I found that SuperSu has an option to full unroot and I hoped that this would reinstall the stock recovery in the process, but now I am left with an unrooted phone with clockwork recovery installed.
If anyone can help me reinstall the stock recovery so I can install this update I'd very much appreciate it. I apologise if I was long winded, I just felt it better to try and explain the whole situation.

I'm not sure what's stopping you from installing the stock recovery?

Thanks for replying. I'm not very knowledgeable at this so I'm not sure how to, and would I need to use a computer or can I do it directly on my phone?

You need to install Android SDK on the PC you want to do this on.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Update/install everything on it once installed.
Then you can begin.

I have just successfully reinstalled the stock recovery, and although I am very grateful for your help, you forgot to mention the next step which was to type "fastboot oem lock" on command prompt.
Thanks again!

Superwipe is a good idea so I'm glad your @ least doing this, it may be easier to help if you give more info, is this happening from the very first custom rom, after root? What method did you use to root? Can you write down everything on bootloader screen (mostly want to know ship soff or eng soff) can you name your recovery? Can you name the roms you have tried?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Glad U're helping me sir. This problem is there from the day I rooted and installed my first rom cyanogen mod 7 Actually mine is ship s- off, I used the wiki.cyanogen g2rooting guide and another one for getting sd card golden. First I used clockwork mod recovery now I'm using the latest in 4ext recovery. Now I'm currently using andromadus mimicry 1.5.0 its working perfectly with many softwares until I restart if I do 'hot reboot' no problem occurs
These are the list of roms I tried and problem starts wen I restart or switch off my mobile and then switch on:
1.andromadus audacity beta5
2.cyanogen mod rc9.0
3.Android_SpeedDaemon_Fantasia_v1.0.0_vision
4. G2slim1.6
5. MikRunny-v1.0-DeOdex-signed
6. RCMix.Energized.7.26.2012.Fixed.Kernel_Ver2
7. Strawmetal-1.Mi.V2.0
8. sensewich1
And many others too
Plz help!

Well you are best to get true s-off with an engineering spl. I assume you either missed a step in the guide you followed or you went with the official htc unlocked bootloader. Either way you can fix this, and I suggest you do
Pretty much you need to relock the bootloader, then downgrade, reroot and flash the eng hboot along with everything else.
The best guides to follow to root and soff are
Cyanogen wiki
Xda wiki
Strawmetals pdf guide.
You can google search these easy or if I get a minute then ill link you. But first you need to relock your bootloader
I believe it is something like
Fastboot oem lock bootloader
I can't recall of hand but nipqer has a guide on this
If I get some time ill get you links, but for now just search a bit and read up, good luck!

Just boot into fastboot mode
Type fastboot devices, if you see yours then proceed
fastboot oem lock
Now do
fastboot reboot-bootloader
This should bring you back to hboot, if it says ship s-on then your good and you can proceed to root and gain true s-off
If you continue to have trouble log onto freenode irc #g2root, just google it if you can't find it, there is a link in the xda wiki for rooting the vision

Hi, I have a Desire Z that keeps restarting itself almost. I can go as far as opening the app drawer before it restarts again. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it or at least recover/backup files from the phone. Can anyone help?
if I flash a custom recovery/root my phone, will that wipe everything on the phone? I am mainly concerned with backing up all my data. The stock recovery shows phone with red triangle, dont know what that means. Please help.

If i remember correctly you can do this by holding down the S button while booting the device.
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
Tried booting in safe mode, still the same thing. The phone reboots as soon as the launcher is done loading. I think its an issue with either the launcher or there's a conflict in android/sense which is causing a crash. Still trying out different things.
Edit:
Since I have never recieved OTA update for this phone, I believe I'm still on RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28 b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2. I have adb set up, is there a way to confirm I can safely S-OFF/root?
Edit 2:
Did a factory reset - no changes, still rebooting
Edit 3:
Seems like USB debug is not turned on my phone, I tried my gt-i900 and can see it using adb devices but not when i plug in my Desire Z
Edit 4:
While in stock recovery, I have a phone with a red triangle, and adb shows device as offline. At least I can confirm that adb is working with my DZ. Now to figure out how to push files to it
After the factory reset you won't get any of your data back, but you need an os so you can root. Find the latest ruu for your phone and fllash it through fastboot or bootllader as a pc10img

Can I flash the ruu from an external sd because I cannot copy to the internal memory as the phone doesn't stay on long enough. Thanks
Nope, but you can use fastboot

is fastboot the same as adb? for example, when using gfree do i just replace adb push with fastboot push?
Edit: Nvm, figured it out, now I need to find the proper RUU for my phone, which one should i be using?
Edit: Stupid question above, I already mentioned which ruu i was using so I'll try to flash that. brb
Nope, adb is similar to fastboot but different, read my thread on it as if you own any HTC phones (and various others) its a must to learn. You'll find it here in the general section
You will use fastboot not to root but to flash the latest ruu as you need to have adb access and this means you'll need an os that's working.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
This is the command you will run in cmd or terminal but read up on my thread to understand more

I read your thread, very helpful. I had one question though, do i need an oem ruu to run the command fastboot oem rebootRUU? I'm just confused as to whether I need to root first, flash the hboot, or flash the ruu. I also have the stock recovery so when do i flash the cwmr?
1st you need the ruu, I believe nipqer has most on his server found in one of his threads. You will use fastboot to flash this. This will rewrite all your firmware and software and hopefully produce a functional os so you can get adb access
Once this is done, follow the xda wiki to root your phonephone

Finally! Phone boots up and I have adb access. Followed the instructions (ran into some trouble with chmod command returning "Operation not permitted" - had to start all over again with fastboot flash oemRUU) and now I'm rooted. Time to install some custom roms. Thanks demkantor, your fastboot tip and thread got me through this!
I'm glad you're up and running! I suggest to check out my is this a brick thread as it may help know what to look for if you run into trouble in the future
Either way, happy flashing!

I have unlocked my bootloader and installed cm10.1 on my HTC one x. I forgot to make a recovery for my ROM and cannot find a working stock ROM. I am from the UK and my HTC one x was locked to three, I got a code to unlock it so it would work on O2-UK. Does anyone know of a stock recovery Rom so I can re store my phone? The reason why I cannot use cm10.1 on my one x is because I get a error saying "the process com.android.phone has unexpectedly stopped" every time I press ok to get rid of it, it comes back over and over. Anyone know or suggest why? (THE CM10.1 MOD IS THE NIGHTLY VERSION) thanks
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app
Wipe data... Manually format /system from custom recovery and then flash CM10.1 again! and also make sure you flash the boot.img again!
If you want to go full stock, then post the result of the following:
Code:
fastboot getvar version-main
Thanks, how do I flash the boot.img please?

You need fastboot folder : http://d-h.st/8Jr (Download it and extract the Fastboot folder in your pc)
HTC Sync Manager (For the latest drivers) : http://www.htc.com/www/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx (Skip it if you already have)
Now boot your phone to fastboot mode by pressing Power and Volume Down button together till you reach bootloader screen. Now select fastboot from the screen.
Open the cm10.1rom.zip file and extract the boot.img from it place it in the fastboot folder.
Connect your phone to your PC and then go to fastboot folder and open a cmd window there (Pressing shift and right click)
Now run the following commands:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
Now go to recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvic and then flash rom.zip and then gapps.zip and REBOOT!
Okay thank you I will try this later, hope it works
