Couldn't start ClockworkMod any more

Hi,
my Desire frooze during an update of ClockworkMod, I removed the battery and tried to start again but the ROM RCMixHD is not starting any more. I'm still able to boot into the fastboot(hboot) menue but I could't start into recovery to wipe and install the new ROM.
Need Help, how could I reinstall ClockworkMod Recovery or how could I fix that. Could I install a ROM without using the recovery mode ?
Right now I couldn't use the phone ;-(
Thanks for your help

hi,
if s-off, just flash new recovery from fastboot
Code:
fastboot device (to be sure your are connected)
fastboot erase recovery (cleanup previous one)
fastboot flash recovery c:\mypath\totherightfile\recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
from there press once power and use vol up/down to select recovery.
that s all
hope this help

Galaxy Nexus Stock Image

How do I create a stock image of my Galaxy Nexus?
Verizon shipped me a new phone with IMM7Q instead of IMM7K
I think it could be a small incremental change but I'd still like a backup of the image so I can restore if needed.
Do I need a recovery image to Root?

Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, backup rom.

I did unlock the bootloader. Thats the easy part. How do you "flash a custom recovery" mean and how to backup the ROM?

Posted in the wrong section. This is meant for development releases only.
If I were you I'd follow the rooting instructions up to the point of flashing a new recovery. Once the recovery is flashed you can the make a backup of your stock settings (I think). Once you have the custom recovery you can just flash a ROM to your phone & you can skip all the "rooting" steps because the ROM you flash will have it included. If you want a stock experience w/ root then continue w/ the instructions for rooting.

Reboot your phone to the bootloader. Then do the following command:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img
fastboot reboot

How would you do this if the usb port is fried? Gotta send back my vzw gnex (warranty swap) , but it's on jelly bean and I'm concerned about voiding the warranty.

Place recovery on internal storage, then...
From a terminal emulator:
su
cd /sdcard/
dd if=recovery-name.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
then reboot

I thought of you did a reboot after without deleting or renaming the recovery from reboot file you would lose your recovery. The easiest way is to place recovery image in the same folder as fastboot then
cd to folder with recovery and fastboot
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Once in bootloader use volume buttons to select recovery hit the power button once selected one in recovery select back up one done reboot after that reboot though I believe you will lose the recovery you just flashed unless you either delete or rename that file or before you do any of that download a ROM you want to flash and after making the back up in recovery follow instructions for flashing that ROM once in recovery.

You need (When 1x is connected to PC and "Fastboot USB" is displayed on 1x:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
recovery.img has to be the correct filename of your recovery, and the file has to be in the same folder where fastboot.exe is.
Then
Code:
fastboot erase cache

@Op, as I can see in your post your are still able to use fastboot usb.
Hopefully you still have the correct InsertCoin rom version.zip?
Attached the ADB Tools.zip, extract and place it somewhere you can find on your desktop (C:\Fastboot\ would be fine)
Extract 'InsertCoin rom version.zip' and take boot.img out.
Place the boot.img into C:\Fastboot\boot.img
Download clockworkmodrecovery.img from >> HERE and place it in that folder as well
In the folder I've placed a shortcut to CMD window, klick on it to open.
Now type the following:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img [Enter]
Fastboot flash recovery 'nameofrecovery.img' [Enter]
Fastboot erase cache [Enter]
Hopefully you are now able to come in CWM recovery, good luck!

oh alright. How can i unlock it? and will i lose my data?

Hmm. To have used custom firmware I'm sure you must have done this already.
Anyway. You need to sign up at HTC dev and follow the instructions there. They're quite detailed. After you've done that follow the previous instructions, they were really clear and will work with unlocked boot loader.
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
--You don't lose data, but if there's anything super important on your external SD it's always best practice to backup.
(after you've installed CWM recvoery, do a backup using that. VERY important)
---forgot to mention: You need to pick "all other supported models" (The one x isn't listed, but it works fine).

OK Thanks for all your help guys. I really appreciate it. Ill post back if something goes wrong and again Thanks

But then how was he able to boot insertcoin when his bootloader is relocked?

Haha I have no idea. I can only assume that it he relocked it after messing around.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

It could be relocked after he flashed InsertCoin and the rom would still boot.
Only problem he has then is that he can't get into CWM recovery and that's what he's complaining about I think.

[Q] Question: Stock Rom, Unlocked Bootloader, TWRP - How to update?

I've unlocked my Three (3) branded M8, installed TWRP and rooted my device (I've also tried out MaximusHD Rom, but decided to restore my original ROM from recovery as I couldn't get some software to load with it).
Three are now pushing out the updates for the M8 and I've tried to install it but it fails. Could someone tell me what I need to do? Back on my One X i needed to re-install stock recovery and re-lock the bootloader. Will I need to do this also?

Only flash the stock recovery if you can get one. Relocking the bootloader is not needed.....

Thanks. I'll try that now. So I am guessing once, I've completed doing that. I can then re-flash the TWRP and I'll probably need to root the phone again. Will let you know how it goes. There is a stock recovery that someone posted previously.

What you said worked perfectly, and funny enough I got the original stock recovery from your Thread. Can I ask how I would go about getting a backup of my current recovery now that I've updated my phone?
I tried what you mentioned in your thread about fastboot boot recovery recovery-name.img (yes i did put the recovery name in) but just got an error stating "cannot load 'recovery'".
Thanks for all your help.
Update: I notice that I can still boot into the system and have root even though I'm on the stock recovery, as if I go into Recovery I end up with the HTC Phone and red triangle. Does this mean there is no real reason for me to re-install TWRP? As all I really cared about was having Root.

What you have now is the stock rom and recovery + root. No reason to flash a custom one if you don't want to flash any mods or themes.
To create a new backup you can put the custom recovery in the fastboot folder and indeed perform the command :
Fastboot boot recovery recoveryname.img
If it can't load the recovery you either typed the wrong recovery name or it's not in the fastboot folder. And the f you have a stock nand to share in my thread would be awesome !

Note that the command is fastboot boot recovery.img
The 'recovery' command will not register. I did it last night
Also, for future reference, I can perform a factory reset with the stock recovery and it will return me to stock even if I have rooted my device? I elected not to install TWRP, but instead just run it temporarily so that I could root leaving my stock recovery intact. Seems like a pretty straightforward answer which is 'yes' but just want to clarify. I have the stock ROM installed (AT&T)

Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Yes that's what i wrote right ?
Can you elaborate more on the not registered part ?
And yes factory reset will set it back to stock. Not sure if it will delete root. But all accounts and data will be gone !

You wrote: fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
The command is: fastboot boot recovery.img (You do not need to specify the 'recovery' before 'recovery.img')
And by not register I suppose I just mean its an unknown command if you specify a partition/kernel before the 'recovery.img' portion. I'm not sure if I'm using the vocabulary correctly

No problem I meant no disrespect! I was actually surprised you don't need to specify the partition for a temporary image....From my research it looks like they have may have changed that fastboot command from Android 4.3

Mr Hofs, in my scenario where I have returned to stock recovery, installed the update from three. How would I go about backing up my current recovery? I've tried what you have done in your thread but there is no recovery file in the back up.

Yeah that's a strange thing. The backup from fisha21 didn't have a recovery either yet the ones made by guywithdesire1992 did have ?! I'm confused about that ! Can you check certain options in twrp maybe ?

Okay, will make a back up over to my computer and then try again. Will report back.

Yep did it with Philz touch and it now includes a recovery.img although it's filesize is 21MB compared to the regular ones. But now at least I have a backup of the recovery. Will upload to a location and post on your thread soon.

Thats awesome ! Really appreciate it
So to be clear, you booted philz and made a nandroid. So the recovery should be the stock HTC one ?
One way to check is to flash the recovery.img that's in the backup folder and enter it. If it gives a phone icon its stock

Soft Bricked Oppo Find 7

Hi everyone. I bought this Find 7 today in hopes that I could get it running. The previous owner apparently went to flash cm11 and he soft bricked it. The phone will power on to the start screen the the screen stays black and goes on and off. I can get to fastboot but not recovery. I have read in the oppo forums that I need to push the stock recovery too it but am unfamiliar with fastboot.. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I got it to boot up following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/help/bricked-7-t2897376. Then I went to wipe it and I'm back where I started. The Msm Downloader is japanese so I don't understand what half of it means. Must have been a fluke it booted up.

I got it to boot up again. I'm not sure what I should do with it next. There is no recovery installed.

If you can get to fastboot, download a recovery, navigate to that recovery, use
fastboot flash recovery x.img
Where x is the name of the file. Hold down power and volume down until phone vibrates, and you should be in recovery

You can place the .img file anywhere you want, but you just have to specify the path and name of the recovery image on the fastboot flash command. For example: fastboot flash recovery C:\openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.1-find7.img (this is if you put the recovery image in the root directory of C drive)
