How to flash CWM Recovery Touch on T-Mobile G2?

I've been trying for hours and I can't seem to figure it out. I googled counltess times and it seems like other phones get .zip files and the G2 gets a .img file. I'm not exactly a noob, but not exactly an expert so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

If you have the eng hboot you can do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Or you can flash it from inside ROM Manager. Not sure what sort of zip you have, if that's one that can be flashed from hboot or not.

I've tried the fastboot flash command it doesnt work
and its not a zip file its just .img

Ok so you don't have eng hboot.
Do you have the ROM Manager app installed ? Is there not an option to flash it from there ? Mine does, but I'm not sure if this is only an option for the paid version of ROM Manager.

Yeah you have to pay $2 but I don't want to pay for something that I can get for free. I might be sounding cheap right now hahaha, i don't have a credit card or anything so I can't really pay for it..

Have you tried pushing the file to the phone using ADB?

And then do what after that?

Push the file to your sdcard
Then rename it to recovery.img so its easier
Go into your terminal in your phone and do this
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
That's it and your done

Or just use the zip thats provided on the clockworkmod site http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.0-vision.zip
-Nipqer

Copy .img to desktop
Open cmd prompt, type cd (location of desktop)
Example"C:/users/blah/desktop"
Boot into bootloader. Press power button on g2 to enter fastboot
In cmd, type: fastboot flash recovery (exact name of recovery).img
Let it send and write..done

I actually tried using the ".zip" twice (once from Rom Manager and once directly from recovery). Every time I seems to go well and after install I land in touch recovery environment and think yes this really worked... So then I reboot to recovery and guess what... I'm back in the oiriginal non touch version !!!

You can also boot recovery from fastboot rather then though the phone,
Fastboot boot recovery.IMG
Then
adb push Rom.zip

With the latest CWM recovery, there is no need to adb push rom.zip. Give it a try.
Once you fastboot boot recovery.img, it will auto-mount the usb storage, so just place your rom.zip there, no more adb push is needed.
To make it permanent, just simply fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

cant find device on usb fastboot?

hello everyone.
am trying to flash a new rom to my device. i followed all the intructions till the one that tells me to flash the boot.img through the usb fastboot.
but my pc cant recognize my one x?
when i choose "Hboot" it says "failed to checj usb master and something like that!

Did you install the HTC drivers on your computer? If you download and install the latest version of HTC Sync it should work.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

and if you have the drivers already, try to disable your antivirus and/or firewall before plugging your device. (it happened to me, my antivirus had too strict settings, preventing HTC drivers to install correctly, and also preventing adb to see my device plugged.)

I did download the drivers but nothing happened.
just a one more question. Is it okay to install the boot.img before the ROM?

Yes, as long as you go back to recovery right after flashing the boot image and install the ROM, otherwise your phone MAY not boot up (it should boot up and work, but it's a digital device)...

try unplugging...and then selecting HBOOT.....it might not give that error ...

still i cant load the fricking boot.img!!!!!!!
everytime i try it says "cannot load boot.img"
any help

hi
It seems like its a problem wiith the path from which u run the fastboot command.....what is the location of boot.img in ur system? is it in the same folder as fastboot.exe? and while giving the command 'fastboot flash....' what is the location that the command prompt is showing?(the working directory)

Once in the bootloader you must select FASTBOOT first and then connect via usb and type in fastboot devices. If it returns a number you're connected. That, may fix your issue.

[Q] HTC One X not working anymore.

So i rooted my HTC One X with cyanogenmod 10 after i really liked it on my Galaxy Nexus.
I did it like the guide says and just like i did with my galaxy Nexus.
Now heres the problem:
First of all, CyanogenMod wont boot. infinite Bootloop.
now i want to install another ROM, but i cant mount my Mass Storage.
when i try to boot my Mass Storage with CWM it gives the following error:
Code:
E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
After that i tried to ADB push a ROM onto the device. But that didn't work either.
When i try to ADB push the ROM true cmd it says:
Code:
Error: Device not found
And the command: "adb devices" gives the following string:
Code:
List of devices attached
Running the following:
CWM v5.8.2.7
cm-10-20121101-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip
S-On
HBOOT-0.95.0000
What to do. im affraid i bricked my device.
Thanks in advance,
Riekelt-Jan Pasterkamp

you don't need mass storage to flash a custom recovery
Code:
fastboot devices
(just to be sure)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img

1 turn device off (press and hold power button for >10secs)
2. bootloader
3. fastboot
4. connect to pc and flash the latest recovery (or use this tool)

Yes, you do. You have an old version of CWM. They've just given you instructions to update it.

Getting message "The recovery hasn't been configure!"

Hi,
I try to format my HTC DESIRE S but ends with error.
"The recovery hasn't been configure!"
Use 4EXT Recovery Control or the free app 4EXT Recovery Updater, which is available on www.4ext.net to setup the recovery and to unlock configurable features. Hint: check out recovery settings
I have downloaded in to sd card but its an application and I cannot install the app because im still in recovery mode and cannot access the phone like dialing etc.

You can download a zip file with {4EXT Recovery}.img and flash it manually from your bootloader by using the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
4EXT Recovery Touch (Saga)
If you want more informations about 4EXT Recovery for HTC Desire S you can check this out.
If you have an older 4EXT Recovery installed try to delete the "4ext" folder from your sdcard.The recovery will recreate the settings folder.It may helps you with the error.

I have try to use "Fastboot" but couldn't connect even using htc sync and adb. Its totally cannot connect the phone to my computer. I have install the "recovery.img" file in sdcard and run it, and getting :
" this zip isn't meant to be flashed in recovery! It might be a bootloader flashable zip or nota flashable zip at all. Installation aborted."
