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

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 !!!

One X stuck on "One X Beats Audio" Screen

I have a rooted One X, with Clockwork Mod and AHRD 6.0.0 Rom, I have a few mods (Rosie, 3-dot remover, status bar icon mods), and I haven't had a problem until tonight when I was playing with Font Installer, and I tried out a new font, and rebooted my phone, then my phone is stuck on the HTC One Beats Audio white screen, it's been about 20 minutes now, and I'm a bit nervous..

Yeah,you should do a nandroid backup because obviously it wont boot,and don't keep it on that logo to much or you will drain you'r battery.I've tryed an app that changes the fonts but also screwed up my phone so i had do to a restore.I don't know what app i can recomend that works so far.

Thing is, I don't have any nandroid backups to restore from, I formatted my memory card recently because of a memory loss problem and I haven't had a backup since.

You don't need a nandroid. Just get into boot loader and use ADB push to push any rom to your virtual SD card then you can install it through CWM recovery. Don't forget the boot.img as well.

When I 'adb device' on the PC, it says error: device not found?

Try this, you don't need to push anything, this command will open your sdcard in windows, put your rom.zip in, close the folder and flash through recovery.
In fastboot:
fastboot boot custom-recovery.img
adb shell
echo /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 > /sys/devices/platform/fsl-tegra-udc/gadget/lun0/file

Ok sorry about that, yes I meant I booted the recovery, and adb shell'ed it and it still showed me no device found, something wrong with my adb?

Okay, thanks to everyone who helped, but in the end, I relocked bootloader, and installed stock rom RUU and decided to start everything from scratch phone is booted now and working again!

To do the OTA you need to flash the official recovery do the ota and then reflash twrp. No need to lock the bootloader.

Rename it to recovery.img and copy it in the fastboot folder of the pc, then you put the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode.
Open the command window on the pc inside the fastboot folder and type
Fastboot erase cache (enter)
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (enter)
Fastboot erase cache (enter)

Hello,
ok i thought i would give you a quick rundown of what im doing
1 - i unlocked the bootloader and flashed using the tools on here
2 - i received the software update via OTA
3 - however because i have unlocked and flashed it just loads the recovery option
so basically i want to remove the unlock and flash as per step 1 above
thanks

You don't need to relock the bootloader to be able to update, what you need is stock rom (the way it came out of the box) root is no problem but if you removed bloatware the update will fail. You also need the stock recovery and the stock kernel.

Open the command window on the pc inside the fastboot folder and type
Fastboot erase cache (enter)
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (enter) - do i enter Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or do i enter Fastboot flash recovery (file path) then recovery.img?
Fastboot erase cache (enter)
and when i got to the folder containing the fastboot, i double click fastboot and a cmd window appears then disappears straight away, however if i open the HTC application and the select bootloader the cmd window stays

Ah oke, what you must do is, go with the windows explorer to the folder, point the mouse in the folder, hold shift and right click the mouse. Then select open command window here......you will see a dosprompt and there you must enter the commands

I've been running CM for several months, I've never had Sense 5. I installed the new CM Nightly, and it wouldn't boot, so I had to factory reset my phone and flash an old version of CM. It booted, but the Gapps didn't install. Now when I go back into my recovery (Clockwork), it won't load properly.

I had great trouble doing it the last time. It took me several hours and I came close to bricking it a few times. I'm pretty technologically incapable. It's my bootloader thing that won't load anyway, so that's no use to me.
Is there any chance you could be a saint and compile together detailed instructions for me? If not, no worries, but I'm a bit of an idiot.

CD C:\\fastboot will take you to the folder "fastboot" and so on.

You have the nandroid ? Then flash the recovery.img and the boot.img from that nand.
Followed by the command :
Fastboot erase cache
Then a full wipe in recovery and restore the nandroid. That should do it.
