Trying to use ADB to flash_image on Desire Z

Hey, I've been following Cyanogen mods guide about flash_image to flash PSFmod onto my phone. I can use ADB to push files to my SD card and stuff, but when I follow this:
Code:
Temporarily allow app to run from the sdcard (use mount to find the correct device for your sdcard, ie: the /dev/block/BLAH part)
mount -o remount,exec /dev/block//vold/179:1 /sdcard
cd /sdcard
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
But I get this error:
Code:
error scanning partitions
Does anyone know how to fix it?

You get that error from which of those commands ?

From flash_image.
Whenever I run flash_image from my phone now, I get that partition error.
Is it because I'm on a Desire Z?

Where did you get the flash_image utility from ? Was it from somewhere that has verified it to work on DZ ?

I would use fastboot to flash a new recovery. You're sure what you're flashing is ok for the Vision, right ?

How do I use Fastboot? It should be okay for it, as it's the G2 version of Psfmod.

If you've got adb all setup via installing the SDK etc, then fastboot should work fine too. I think you need the engineering bootloader though.
Boot the phone into fastboot by holding down the trackpad button and holding the Power button, with the phone off. Or you can put it into hboot with Volume Down and Power and then select "Fastboot" from the menu.
It should then say "Fastboot" on the phone. With the USB cable plugged in that should say "Fastboot USB", and if you run "fastboot devices" on your PC it should show up your phone in the same way that "adb devices" normally would.
If that's all working you can run "fastboot flash recovery filename.img" to flash "filename.img" to recovery.

You haven't got S-OFF. You need S-OFF to flash a custom recovery.

I do have S-Off, I followed this and when I boot into fastboot it says "S-OFF" in green text at the top.

Do a checksum on the eng hboot before you flash it, as per the guides, to make sure it's not corrupted.

So the same at Desire Z.

Can’t Boot into Recovery

I have unlocked and rooted my Wildfire S. I then installed ROM Manager Premium, I used it to install Clockworkmod 5.0.2.8. It says that the Recovery is installed but I can’t boot into the Recovery menu. Is there an alternative Recovery I can try or some troubleshooting I can do with the Clockworkmod?

Go to HBOOT menu on Phone, select 'Fastboot' option and connect to PC.
Copy Cwm img file into the SDK Tools dir (ex: C:\android)
go to C:\android using cmd
Now flash CWM using fast boot commands.

Just remove the ROM Manger from apps, Switch off, Remove replace battery and try again..... might work!

I uninstalled both the rom manager and the license and then flashed the recovery again, still nothing. It will go to the white HTC screen for a couple mins and then reboot again and then boot normally. Is CWM the only recovery image for the marvelc I can try?

Does anyone have an idea about what I'm doing wrong? I'm stuck.

Okay. Now I unlocked bootloader. I think the problem was USB-debugging was not turned on.
Trying to run clockworkmod, but keep getting error messages:
"you must root your phone for ROM manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "system/xbin/su".
When I try to flash clockworkmod recovery I get the following error:

My deviced is with unlocked bootloader, buy of course still S-ON. I understood from the threads around that that's not a problem.

Hi, what you need to do is go into your bootloader as you usually do, Volume - and Power Button, plug your USB and go into fastboot USB. Then you need to create a file on you C: drive called "fastboot" and put the following files in there "adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll & fastboot.exe" and your recovery image, I suggest you use the offical clock work mod recovery which is available here,
if you do not have these files you can download them from here,
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474956
once you do this then open a command dos window by typing cmd in the start search box of windows.... once the command window opens go to the right folder of C:\fastboot> where you saved the files.
Then as your phone is in fastboot USB and you are in the command window C:\fastboot>, type in the command window the following,
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
Then press enter, what you should see is the below,
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
sending 'recovery' (2224 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... OKAY
If you follow the above then you should have clockworkmod recovery, you can then take the USB out and go back to the hboot in you bootloader and choose recovery under hboot by navigating with the volume button and power button.
I do need to inform you though that if you are one of the unlucky WFS owners that get the "Black Screen Recovery" issue where you go into recovery and you only get a black screen and you tactile buttons are on then you need to follow the bellow method to be able to see you recovery on you PC screen than on your phone.

Also here is a youtube video of what I mean
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgrPctWKW8E
I know all this as I had the same issue and this helped me. Now I feel that I need to inform you about other issues... When you unlock the bootloader you can't flash a ROM and then just switch your phone on and it boots into the new ROM, there is a process you need to follow.
When you choose your ROM, and not all ROMs work with the Wildfire S new batch of phone as I had to find out the hard way, you need to flash your ROM and then open the .zip file of your phone copy the boot.img of the ROM paste it in the c:\fastboot> directory and again in the command window type,
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You will see the below,
c:\fastboot>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (2224 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... OKAY
Then type,
c:\fastboot>fastboot reboot
And your phone will reboot into the new ROM allow 10 to 15 minutes... BE PATIENT.

HELP. HOX is dead

Hello
Yesterday i unlocked bootloader on htc one x. Then i tried to root it but when i finished my hox did reboot and then reboot all the time. It goes on start screen of android and then reboot again. I cant do anything. Any idea or help?

How did you root it?
Did you flash a ROM without flashing its boot.img and fastboot erase cache?
Did you install a custom recovery?
What screen are you stuck on? "htc quietly brilliant"?

I remember when this happened to me when I first tried to root my phone (First Android phone actually) lol I freaked out.. In my case it's because I didn't make a full wipe after unlocking bootloader and flashing Cyanogen, just booted into Recovery, full wipe/wipe cache and it worked.
Tell us what you did like BenPope said, did you flash the boot.img for the ROM you installed?

the first i did was to unlock bootloader from htcdev. Afther that i tried to root by a guide from this forum:
ALTERNATE ROOT METHOD - 'INSECURE BOOT AND ROOT'
This zip file contains an insecure boot image to flash to your device and a script which will then push the root (SuperSU) files to your device. This is only tested on 1.27.401.2 / 1.27.401.7. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Download
InsecureBootAndRoot r3 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: a16bff582cb0e25fd3b422652d753ca7
How to use InsecureBootAndRoot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the InsecureBootAndRoot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-insecure-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-mac.sh' followed by './install-insecure-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-insecure-linux.sh' followed by './install-insecure-linux.sh'
The device will now flash the new boot image and reboot. Keep the device attached to USB and when it has rebooted, ensure USB debugging is enabled - the SuperSU files will then be installed.
CONVENTIONAL ROOT METHOD - 'SUPERBOOT' (currently not functioning on shippping devices).
Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!
Download
Superboot r1 - DOWNLOAD (ROMraid) - MD5: c79821d5d75d57dff8a5ffe7493241fd
The superboot image is also 'insecure', allowing you to use 'adb remount' as well as having full ADB root access to your device until such time as you reboot after running this process (it's a non permanent ADB root as it's a 'fastboot boot' and not a 'fastboot flash' but it IS a permanent root in all other regards!).
How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX
- Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
- Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume down' button pressed to enter the bootloader, then press the power button again to enter fastboot.
- WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
- MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
- LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
That was the steps. I didnt tried to put a custom rom yet. And the worst is that i need my number and i dont have an another device with micro sd. :/

It's funny, because there are two methods that you've pasted there. I have to ask, why did you not go with the recommended one? The one you didn't paste here?
Try it, you might like it.

I tried the first one and after i saw that my hpox rr all the time i tried the second one.
You mean this method?
EASIEST ROOT METHOD - 'RECOVERY + SUPERSU'
The easiest way to get root is now to install the official ClockworkMod release and then flash the latest SuperSU zip file. This approach is highly recommended (I also recommend running a backup as soon as you've flashed clockworkmod!)
I do now and nothing. Cant get the command.

I don't understand what "my hpox rr all the time" means.
At the top of your hboot does it say ENDEAVORU or EVITA?
What does "can't get the command" mean?
Edit: ahh, is it "command not found" when you try to run fastboot?

You could just flash a rooted rom and kernel now, it should work fine.
Flash this recovery http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Install a rom from recovery, you can mount usb from recovery to copy rom to phone.
Then flash the kernel from fastboot that acompanies the rom.

ENDEAVORU is good.
I kind of expected you to be flashing clockworkmod 5.8.4.0 as the recovery.
Once that's done, you take a backup, download the SuperSU zip file, boot into recovery, mount sd as USB, copy the zip onto the SD card, unmount and flash it.

I dont know what you flashed, but you'd be better off with the latest clockworkmod, version 5.8.4.0
Doing a backup from that recovery is easy.

What I dont get is why you didn't just root/unlock bootloader via htcdev.com

The command you did was correct but you flashed the stock recovery, flash clockworkmod recovery to proceed.

I used that command fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
So i think i didnt something wrong.

I'm confused, earlier you said you flashed recovery-1-28.img
You're going to have to be clearer on what you write here.

Do that again.
Then:
fastboot erase cache
Then boot into recovery and tell us what you get.

Error mounting sdcard

Are u trying to flash the rom immediately after unlocking the bootloader?? When the bootloader unlock is performed, the data is wiped completely.. Now u have to restart the device to mount the sd card again in recovery..

1) you will never be able to mount the sdcard in recovery, so stop trying
2) what is the fastboot command you typed to generate the output?

do you have the files in the same directory with your fastboot.exe?
you could also boot into your custom recovery and use adb to push a rom to your phone.

i hope now its clear what i am facing.

if i flash something then the "Too many links error" comes
thanks for the help , is there anything else i can try
========================
ok i found something interesting
when i flash something i get the error " Too many links"
then when i run fastboot.exe devices , i get
???????????? fastboot
and after reboot i get
H:\brick\xda-24-3-2013\yakju-jdq39>fastboot.exe devices
My IEMI number fastboot
y is this happening

*sigh* ...
Op, uninstall all drivers, reboot your system;
Connect device in fastboot to PC, manually update drivers, disconnect device, reboot PC
Connect device again, flash recovery, after it finishes, disconnect USB, use volume keys to "reboot recovery", reconnect USB, manually update drivers again
'adb devices' should return your SN
'adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/' or if that doesn't do it, 'adb push ROM.zip /data/media/'
