Can't write new recovery - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to use fastboot to write a new recovery, but it didn't work. I tried to flash clockwork mod recovery using rom manager. Failed again. I am s-off and rooted. The only way to flash recoveries is using a P31IMG.zip file. Any ideas?

To flash with fastboot you need to unlock your bootloader via htcdev.com
You should be able to flash recovery from the ROM if you have superuser access in the ROM. Does recovery not change or does it take you to the bootloader screen when you try from ROM Manager?

Mine is taking me to the boot loader screen. I have forever s-off. Its unlocked. Tried to switch from scroll cwm recovery to twrp touch. Now I don't think I have a recovery. Should I reflash from computer with cwm or twrp?

Did you use UnrEVOked to flash? If so try running it again.
But before you do that, try downloading an app called 'Quick Boot', open it & tap 'Recovery'.
Yes did what you said and just goes to the white boot screen

Did you try running unvrevoked again?
If you did and it doesnt work then install a RUU, i think it's a sticky.
This will re-install your recovery image etc but you will lose root.
Once thats done run unrevoked again

S=on!?!?

Ok so I acheived unlocked boot loader for hboot 2.18 and flashed Su via computer using cmd and then I rebooted and to mention I have Clockwork recovery installed then installed Su from market and installed busybox and its files then tried updating binary in Su but wont let me and some apps are able to use root previliges. How do I get permenant s=off and if so could I flash a custom Rom with clockwork recovery on s=on?

Use Captain_Throwback's guide to get S-Off.

Custom Rom with S-on!?

I have a rooted evo 4g, if I wanted to load a custom rom with S-on, what would I have to do?
Just flash as normal. You don't need s-off to flsh rom

I read something like you have to start recovery through adb through fastboot if you are s-off
Flash a recovery through adb? That first if you don't have a recovery already.
yeah I already have a recovery, so I can just boot into recovery and flash?

Wrong kernel bootloop help

I am posting this for my frnd he was trying to unlock bootloader which he successful did but when he tried to reboot after that it stuck in bootloop(htc logo) and later he realized he accidentally clicked on flash kernel from some rootkit and I suppose that's why it's suck in boot then he tried to flash recovery and flash a new Rom but his phone is not detected by the computer
Any suggestion

So my suggestion is: flash a recovery like philz 5.15.9 via fastboot, enter recovery, mount the phone as external mass storage, copy there the zip of a rom, wipe data to install new rom, reboot to bootloader, flash boot.img from the rom via fastboot (erase cache before and after flashing boot.img) then enter recovery flash the rom zip and choose wipe in aroma... Then should be ok... Ask here for further infos

[Q] I messed up

I was try to take my phone to as close to stock as possible but didn't have a stock recovery. I was trying to get s-off through sunshine but when i tried to go back to stock i downloaded an ing file from here and installed it using flashify and i am assuming it was the wrong one. Now all i get is the red triangle on start up. How do I flash a recovery using a mac or could some one direct me to a video?
forgot
also i was rooted and unlocked if that makes a difference. I was using twrp and viper one rom.
Get fastboot and adb. Download newest twrp img file. Boot to bootloader and click fastboot. Load terminal on Mac and navigate to directory with fastboot and img.
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Pm me if you need more help.

Seems like you flashed boot and not recovery. You will need to flash another rom
