[Q] Flashing recovery image by ADB - how to?

Hi folks,
For some reason my Amon Ra recovery is now refusing to flash zip files and it look as if I'll have to reflash the recovery itself. Can I do this via ADB on an S-ON phone, and if so, how? If not, is there an alternative method? Unrevoked isn't working at this point as I have already wiped my old ROM.
Background: I think I b*ggered the recovery by having the USB cable connected at boot time. There is a mention somewhere of Clockwork mod misbehaving in these circumstances, and I think the same may apply to AR. The phone will boot into AR, but AR won't load/flash any zip files.
Please help!

Via ADB? No.
S-ON? No.
You have to be s-off to flash another recovery via FASTBOOT.
Try taking out the battery and re-enter AmonRA, see if that works. Also what error you get?

Thanks Davebugyl!
Sorry, no joy. There is no error at all, just AR refusing to flash the zip. I've had this once or twice before, and usually by shutting the phone down and restarting I got AR to work again. Not now.
I'm happy to S-OFF the phone with Alpharev, only I'm not sure you can do that with no ROM installed. Any thoughts?

Well the phone must be booted to use AlphaRev's S-OFF method. Do you have any nandroid backups? You can use one to boot up, then S-OFF.
If not, then the only thing what comes to my mind is to flash a RUU and root/S-OFF again.

I have a nand backup but I can't get it to boot. Can you flash an RUU to an S-ON phone or would you need a Goldcard for that - which I don't have..

If you are unlocked (HTC_WWE) - then it should go without a goldcard.

The latest is for the Nexus one, but should be working on the Desire.

Many thanks for your help! Will try that shortly, and let you know how it went. The phone was a German T-Mob when I bought it but it's not locked to any network (I bought it and am using it in Switzerland). Fingers crossed!

Update: I found an old Nand backup which did work, and successfully re-rooted with Unrevoked to install a fresh copy of Clockwork recovery, and went S-OFF with Alpharev. Great stuff, ŧhanks for your advice!!

[Q] probelm in rooting & flashing recovery

Sirs,
I need your help for my problem.
I tried to root & flash ClockworkMod Recovery image by using UnrEVOked_3.31. so by mistake the image file for ClockworkMod was corrupted. So during rooting & recovery process and after several reboot of my phone "HTC Desire", the UnrEVOked_3.31 said fail can't flash recovery image.
Then after I repeated the process again but by valid and good file image of recovery. but the process did not success, UnrEVOked_3.31 said failure.
Here, I stop and check my phone, it is working fine and I found Superuser app in application, So What does that mean, Is my phone rooted?
also, I went to HBOOT, then I selected RECOVERY in there, I saw HTC sing for part of second then return back to Hboot.
My desire information: SLCD display, Hboot v 0.93, S-ON, android 2.2
So, please give help, and I hope to heare you soon.
Regards

If You have Superuser app in application Your phone should be rooted , but if You can't open recovery something is wrong. Mayby try unroot phone to stock, and root again.
2) Or You can s-off with revolutionary and flash recovery with fastboot.
http://revolutionary.io/

Thanks for your kindly help.
before just half hour, I decided the following steps:
1.copy from SD the recovey v.2.5 have been downloaded from Rom Manager .
2.disable SIM lock and screen lock
3.use UnrEVOked_3.31 again for last time to flash recovery.
4.never touch phone until finish.
So, this time I sucessed and I flashed the recovery well.

You can use Alpharev's tool also, so go S-OFF and to use a new partition table with more data space.

To use alpharev, you have to be rooted.
@OP:
Which error message did you get when flashing?
Anyway, I recommend to use revolutionary (you get root and S-OFF in two very easy steps) :

[Q] I'm stuck with Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 recovery !!

I cannot upgrade to a newer version of Clockworkmod recovery !
I have tried everything, fastboot flash returns failed signature verification, rom manger also cannot update to a newer version.
Also tried Unrevoked but it fails.
the phone is rooted and I have flashed several ROMs in the past without any problem.
Any idea?

Fastboot flash doesn't return verification failed error.
You need to be s-off to change recover using fastboot. Before you do anything, read some tutorials, you need to differentiate among most basic terms.

I get this error from fastboot
< waiting for device >
sending 'recovery' (3256 KB)... OKAY [ 0.468s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 0.952s
I have tried to flash clockworkmod 5 and also tried the touch version, but with no luck.
Maybe the S-OFF is messed up, but only if rom manager did something wrong, because last time when I have upgraded the recovery it was from ROM Manager.

Fail on my part...
That seems like there is no device tho. My money is on broken drivers. There is a guide how to do in development so search for it as it works 100%.

unrevoked connects to phone, sends the file to phone then at the end it fails.
I have tried revolutionary for S-OFF the program connects to phone then displays the phone serial number, asks for the key then after I enter the key, the connection is lost.
So I really don't know what to do anymore, and I need a newer recovery since the one which I have does not have options to partition the SD Card and ICS is eating a lot of memory without SDExt.
The phone is ok, it's not broken, I flash every 2-3 days a newer ICS ROM and it works.

why dont you try a different recovery.i have been using ext4 recovery for a while and imo it is way better than cwm....

I use clockworkmod because I have purchased the ROM manager tool and it works with their recovery.
I finally managed to flash a newer clockworkmod recovery and very strange after reboot it has reverted back to the old 2.5.0.7 version !!! At least I was able to partition my sd-ext...
I have tried the boot CD with alpha-rev it freezes in the final stage, but after that I was able to flash the new recovery using the recovery itself, but as I said after reboot the new recovery has gone !
Now I have tried to flash again a newer recovery from ROM manager it says it finished successful, but the recovery still remains 2.5.0.7

Because all you are doing is a fake flash. You need to flash it from fastboot in order to stick.
Ditch the Rom manager. That pos app is guilty of more usb bricks than most of us can count.

And how can I flash it from HBOOT ?

You need to read ADB for dummies guide to gain knowledge how to set ADB up.
Then you go into hboot by pressing vol- and power button.
Select fastboot.
Download your recovery.img and place it in the same folder your fastboot.exe is, then type in cmd:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache.
Return to hboot and boot in the recovery.

Erklat, thanks for this - I have the same problem.
i have finally got round to get adb, etc, working..and it kinda works, except that when flash a newer version of CWM (v5.0.2) on fastboot it still doesn't work. I tried using the Rom manager, which failed straight away, and I followed your steps above. But still didn't work.
So my story's background:
I rooted my Desire with Unrevoked so I could install ICS (sandvold) - and it has been working beautifully. But now I want to create an ext3 partition and the GParted method is far too complex for me to follow through.
CWM i have installed doens't partition, and so I though I'd update the recovery tool so I could use it to partition.
Any suggestions on what I could do?

Do you get an error when you flash a new recovery via fastboot or does it say it successfully flashed the recovery.img file? If you didn't get an error, do you always go to Rom Manager to access recovery? If yes, I say ditch rom manager. Try vol down + power like on erklat's instruction, this time select Recovery. See if the recovery you flashed is booted.
If you are s-off it's better you flash 4ext recovery. It's by far the best recovery you can use for Desire.

I also tried flashing RA, just to see if it would work (and also heard its better). But nothing. It's quite bizarre.
My phone is not S-OFF - I used the HTC official software and I dont' think it does it - I have no problems in doing it if it will resolve this problem.
I have also tried this flashing using the terminal, Which I found in the Q&A's but i get several error messages, and then finally:
"error writing recovery: No space left on device"
So I uninstalled a couple of apps (freeing some 10mb+) but still the same issue.

As you are not s-off you can't flash recovery, get s-off and flash any you like

RA has not been maintained for quite some time. 4EXT is probably the best and it's developer is very devoted to his project.

Ah that really sucks. Will I be able to gain S-Off by using AlphaRev? Revolution doesn't work because my HBoot is 1.0.3... and thus not supported.
Once I get it to be S-Off I'll switch to 4EXT.
Thanks, for the help so far!

Hey guys,
I flashed clockworkmod recovery via fastboot and made a complete system backup on my htc desire hd.
But now I've a problem. My brother unlocked the bootloader with the official htc tool, in fact my phone is still s-on with hboot 2.00xx.
Now I've flashed a custom rom but my phone keeps staying in the bootscreen with te green htc logo.
Any1 any idea how to fix this ?

Your problem is that the HTC dev method unlockt the boot loader but you are eng s-on.
So you can flash a custom ROM but you can't flash a kernel. So you need to root and unlock t again.
What I should do is relock the bootloader and flash a ruu.
After that search for the (aahk) advance ace hack kit and root t again. The good way:laugh:

Hey thx for your reply,
where do I get these ruu roms , and sould I lock the bootloader after I flased the ruu rom and how do I lock the bootloader angain ?
Thx in advance

Btw if i lock my bootloader again and run this hackkit, do I still have my recovery mod and a possibility to flas my ruu back?

Here can you find a ruu http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/
You can lock the boot loader whit adb " I don't know the command for that"
CWM make a backup to sdcard you never lose them.
Edit: the boot loader relock if you flash a ruu.
You can flash the ruu with the bootloader

Well i tried to flash my rom, I made with CRM and then ran the hack kit. I said i've to downgrade my android version.
After it downloaded the rom it said failed to update cuz my main version is older.
Any idea?

Does the phone boot into the rom?
If it does, is it now on a froyo rom?

Ok, it's like this. The way most people get root and recovery (and the recommended way) is through the AAHK. It gives you an option to flash a completely unlocked ENG S-OFF bootloader, which allows recovery to flash the boot image to the /boot partition too. This is what makes the phone start, otherwise it'll be stuck at the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. Most people will tell you that you should run an RUU and get back to locked bootloader state and then run the AAHK. This IS the preferred method if you want to have a fully unlocked phone, but if you're finding it difficult to do, don't do it.
You've unlocked the bootloader using the htcdev unlock tool. What that does is partially unlock your bootloader. It allows you to flash zips to the system partition and data partition, but not the boot partition. So what happened to you was that you flashed CWM recovery, used it to flash a ROM, but it didn't boot - this is because though the ROM flashed fine, the corresponding boot image for the ROM was not flashed, so the ROM cannot start. The main headache with htcdev method of unlocking is that it leaves you with a S-ON bootloader preventing the flashing of boot image directly from recovery. You will need to flash it manually each time you flash a ROM.
The procedure to do that is -
1. Download the attached zip file, extract it to Desktop or wherever you want using 7-zip/WinZIP.
2. Open the ROM zip file you downloaded. Extract boot.img from this zip to the previously folder which you just extracted in the above step.
3. Turn your phone completely off (pull out battery). Then hold 'volume down' while pressing power and continue holding it till you see a white screen with 3 green skateboarding Androids. This is the bootloader.
4. FASTBOOT will be the first selected option in the list. Press 'Power' to select it. Make sure that now it shows FASTBOOT in red under the initial green text.
5. Connect your phone to computer. See that the red FASTBOOT changes to FASTBOOT USB.
4. Open the adb_fastboot folder, open 'Start here.bat'. It will open a command prompt window in that folder.
5. Type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'. You only need to do this once. It will flash 4ext Touch Recovery, which is better than CWM (thanks to madmaxx82 for the awesome recovery).
6. Type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. You will need to do this everytime you flash a custom ROM, but before you do so be sure you've copied the boot.img from the ROM zip to the adb_fastboot folder.
7. You should see some stuff like 'Sending data... data sent successfully'. If there's any error at this step report it here.
8. Once it has done everything and displayed a successful confirmation, disconnect phone.
9. Hightlight BOOTLOADER and press 'power' to select it. Press 'volume down' to highlight RECOVERY and 'power' to select it.
10. Once you're rebooted into 4ext Touch Recovery, go to 'install zip from SD card', browse for the ROM zip file in your SD card. If you haven't copied the zip to SD card, go back a step, connect phone to computer, select 'toggle USB storage' and then copy it onto the SD card. Once you have the ROM zip on the sdcard, go to the main screen of the recovery, choose 'wipe/format'->format all partitions (except SD card). Now go back to main screen, choose 'install zip from sdcard' and browse to the ROM zip location, select it and confirm that you want to flash it.
11. When the flash process is done, go back to the main screen of recovery, and press reboot now. You will reboot into the custom ROM.
This is the process to flash a custom ROM and get it to boot properly IF you have unlocked the bootloader using www.htcdev.com. For AAHK unlocked S-OFF bootloaders, you can just flash the ROM zip from recovery. The boot image will be flashed too.

Before trying the above try this and you might get lucky.
Boot into clockworkmod wipe data/factory reset. Wipe cache. Wipe dalvik cache. Flash the custom rom again and wait 15 mins for it to boot before giving up.

What you're saying is correct for fully unlocked S-OFF boot loaders. The ROM take sometime to boot the first time because it has to build the dalvik cache. The time it takes depends on the number of apps. Same thing happens when you wipe dalvik cache, it has to be rebuilt on boot.
But the problem here is, the OPs phone is unlocked using htcdev. With that method, the boot loader remains on S-ON. So the boot partition cannot be flashed to using recovery. The boot.img will have yo be manually flashed through fastboot, otherwise the ROM won't boot no matter how long he waits.

That htcdev unlock sounds like a nightmare. Glad I stayed away from that one... I used to flash different roms with s-on on my desire (not DHD) for a while with no problem. There was a rooting method called unrevoked that flashed clockworkmod with s-on. I guess DHD must have a different version of nand lock which restricts flashing part of the rom from zip?

Yes. The boot image does not get flashed. This is what sucks about htcdev unlock, and the reason why HTC pissed off so many people. The community asked for bootloader unlock, HTC gave a half-assed bootloader unlock. Alternative methods to gain S-OFF are always preferred. Some devices unfortunately don't have S-OFF methods yet, so they have to use htcdev unlock. HTC One X for instance, don't know about the other One series phones.

I don't get it. Why on earth are you flashing that boot.img?? You need to flash the rom you are trying to flash boot.img.....That image is just for the Inspire 4G and has nothing to do with any of the roms you flashed.
S-ON and Unlock bootloader are two different things. S-OFF does not require to have an unlocked bootloader....Being S-ON is fine if you unlock the bootloader.

HAHA, I had a feeling I did not understand what boot.img you were talking about.
So I further investigated the zips that a custom ROM provides, and I notice the boot.img in the root of each ZIP. So I flashed that... guess what... it works quite simple

Hello

I recently brought a friend's phone (Desire HD) to flash custom ROM on. I flashed boot.img via fastboot but when I select recovery, A white screen with HTC shows and after a few seconds, black screen occurs. I know screen is on however. I dont know what to do. The bootloader says unlocked but it says

MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M

The steps that I did was.
1. I unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev. It gave me error so I updated via RUU manually through fastboot.
2. After that, I was able to unlock the bootloader via HTCDev.
3. I followed this (http://www.teamandroid.com/2013/04/...android-422-jellytime-jelly-bean-rom-guide/2/) to flash method to Jelly-time on DHD. But when I flashed boot.img via fastboot cmd, it does not go to Recovery, it only shows phone with exclamation mark. If I reboot the phone, it shows white HTC screen and then black black screen. Please help me what to do. After unlocking via HTCDev, I didn't intall CWM, I though flashing boot.img is actually installing CWN :'|

Please help me what to do. After unlocking via HTCDev, I didn't intall CWM, I though flashing boot.img is actually installing CWN :'|
Thanks a LOT in advance

That is the issue, that you didn't flash the rom. You need a custom recovery to flash the rom first and then the boot.img. You just flash a boot.img file from a different rom without flashing the rom itself.
Boot into fastboot usb and then flash recovery. You can use the guide or the tools in my signature to do that or just flash it manually. Then, flash the rom in recovery and just then fastboot flash the boot.img.

I did use your guides to work it up. I flashed recovery via fastboot and flashed the ROM (along with gapps). It is working. However, I fastboot flashed boot.img of the same ROM BEFORE flashing recovery and hence before flash ROM. However it is working so all good
Thanks a lot

DHD Wont Boot after Custom ROM
HI,
OK...
I have an S-ON DHD with unlocked bootloader and decided to upgrade the android version.
Decided I'd start with 5.1.1 (cm-12.1-20150509-UNOFFICIAL-ace).
I have TWRP (openrecovery-TWRP-ace-2.8.1.2-unofficial) installed as recovery manager.
So installed the ROM but phone would not boot - stayed on HTC screen.
Looking for the cause I find that I need to flash flash boot.img of the ROM I want to use as it is S-ON.
BUT - to do so I need to use fastboot and at this stage I can only get into recovery and fastboot devices shows no devices hence I can't issue :
fastboot flash boot my.img​
I think I should have kept a recovery of the original ROM but .... what could possibly go wrong ....
So bottom line I have a phone that won't boot but can get into recovery.
Any and all suggestions gratefully accepted
Cheers,
Paul

Ok - thanks 4 your help everyone ....
Ok the issue related to the fact that the laptop(s) I were using both (Win10) somehow got stuffed up by the HTC Diagnostic drivers which caused one of the laptops to blue screen (Driver Power State Failure error) on a restart and the other to hang.
Once I restarted successfully the adb and fastboot devices re-appeared and I simply flash booted the boot.img from my android 5 rom and all now good
