I am attempting to make a Cyanogenmod recovery and need to know if I attempt to flash it in fastboot and it doesn't work, will I be able to flash back my other recovery (TWRP).
Everything compiles correctly and yet the update.zip will not flash over the TWRP recovery, so I am thinking I should try to install it using fastboot. but I don't want a brick!
It looks like I may need a jig (factory cable), due to the device lock implemented to allow computer access. Anybody ever used one? I have access to one, just need to make sure I can get the boot loader to accept fastboot commands.
Have you tried just to boot the recovery image? Using fastboot type : fastboot boot "my_revovery.img"
This loads the recovery in memory but nothing is permanent. I did this for a while before actually flashing twrp. I wouldn't suggest you flash anything until you can get it to boot. Then I would flash using fastboot, I never liked flashing recoveries from within other recoveries

Cool! didn't know I could do that with a recovery. What I found out just a few moments ago is that I could flash the recovery and then when/if it didn't work, I could reboot the phone then get back into fastboot mode and reinstall the old recovery. I like your way better! Thank you.
Any progress on getting the CM recover to boot using fastboot?

I will succeed! Attempt number 82, no not really, well, maybe. Lol.
everything compiles properly and when I do a fastboot boot, all I get is the Google screen, then nothing. I think that I'm going to try an earlier version of Java As I am using the latest version possible for the compilation process and apparently the earlier version works, and I'm not sure that this one does even though it should!
So, that will be my next step and I won't be giving up anytime soon.
Good luck with your efforts, I hope you succeed. I would like to learn more about developing but have never tried. What is the guide you are using for CM?

Everything from the cm site. Links are on my other distro but you can search for how to build cyanogenmod recovery to get started.
Right now I'm back on the kernel working on battery savings.
I switch back and forth occasionally.

I had an issue with my phone a couple of weeks ago where I'm only able to the bootloader screen and the fastboot screen. Fortunately, I got a replacement EVO 3 days later but I'm still trying to get my old phone up and running. But after trying everything I can find, still nothing.
So my question is, when do I say that the phone is officially bricked?

If you can get to the bootloader screen, then you be able to flash an image to get you phone working again.

Believe me, I've tried everything, from using amon ra PC36IMG.zip in the bootloader. It updates successfully then still no recovery.
I've tried the ruu via bootloader, it updates successfully. It still bootloops continually.
I ran Football's recent 4.54 ruu in fastboot successfully and still nothing.
Everything I try, it continues to bootloop.

Well CM7 is the ROM typically being run when phones enter the bootloop of death. However, I've heard that there have been a couple of MIUI ROMs that have entered the bootloop of death as well. If you've flash a recovery and still cant enter it and tried to fully unroot then you might have to take it to Sprint. I'd make sure that you're fully unrooted before doing so. I would also recommend removing your SD card so that they cant try to deny you based on rooting the phone. Just a precaution.

Fortunately, I already got a new phone but the reason I didn't take it into Sprint was because it still was S-off. Since I can't get to recovery, how would I get s-on?
And now that I ran stock ruu's, is it a possibility that the PC36IMG.zip's won't be recognized anymore?
I'd love to get this phone running again and let my 7 year play some games on it but I'm afraid I may be sol!!

Well you said you tried flashing via PC36IMG, and it 'worked' but it didn't stick, i.e it didn't 'work'. What you can do is extract the boot.img from the rom / ruu, place it in your adb tools folder. Then boot the phone to the bootloader, select fastboot, connect to your pc via usb cable, open up command prompt, navigate to you adb tools folder and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
That will flash the boot image to the correct partition, then reboot the phone, and see if it boots up.

No problem.
And if the NV is corrupted, its toast. It was a flaw with the evo when you bought it, and now its decide to tap out. At that point you'd have to take it to sprint, as the NV is part of flash memory and its locked.

There is an ADB push option in TWRP which should let you put a ROM on the phone using:
adb push PUTROMENAMEHERE.zip /sdcard/.
or
You should be able to RUU something back onto the phone. Try to get to fastboot by rebooting to the bootloader from TWRP. Then you can use something like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319 Firmware update if needed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437436 RUU image
or
Alternatively, if you have an OTG cable you should be able to select a flash drive as a source media in TWRP.
I had a similar issue a few days ago when I wiped everything including my internal storage without even thinking how am I going to get the rom.zip back on the card (all my previous phones had SD cards).
In order to avoid flashing RUU I used sideload in TWRP to load rom directly through ADB. the only issue I had was with the drivers because for some reason my PC wouldn't recognize the phone (even though I used the same PC to root it) so I downloaded universal drivers that I found somewhere on the XDA.
unfortunately I don't have the links saved but if you search sideload and universal drivers I'm sure you'll find it.

Your options are to boot it to the bootloader manually by holding power and volume down, then go to fastboot and push a recovery to it, from there you can also push a Rom to your storage and then use recovery to install your Rom.

Once you have a recovery on there now just push a Rom using fastboot. Then boot into recovery and install Rom or if you already have a Rom on the internal storage just boot recovery and go from there.

Well I got it to get into recovery. I ended up using a HTC ONE all in one kit. So I got a stock like ROM and radio and firmware to get me going. Thing is now is when I try to sideload any ROM I keep getting stuck in either a bootloop or at the Boot Image. I still have SuperCid. I tried using the how-to on changing "mid" so that way I can use any variant ROM. But apparently I dont have a way to re-zip files So now going trying to sideload CM10.2 with GAPPS. Thing is is what I do sideload I cant find in storage. I just cant figure out why a few ROMS I had before now wont boot past the boot animation or just wont flash. PLEASE HELP
how did u make out with cm 10?
just checking in
Hi guys, I had My HTC one verizon working on CM11 smoothly.
Then cyanogenmod sent out a new update and after reboot, My phone was stuck in the blue circle boot screen.
I can't get adb to recognize my device to push a ROM to the phone for recovery. And from what i understand there is no other way to push a zip to the phone.
Fastboot doesn't flash the zip.
EDIT: For future reference: Find the RUU from this page: Guru flash it via fastboot. It will return phone to stock.
Ignore the rest
I wiped all caches, factory reset, wiped dalvik, and did everthing i could, but after hours of trying I haven't accomplished anything.
I can get into recover (i'm using clockworkmod). Bootloader is unlocked, s-off, rooted.... Don't know what else to say
I can't enable debug mode since I can't even boot, and from what I understand that's why adb won't work... But that doesn't make sense since i don't have a system on it. (i wiped everything)

Hello everybody.
I installed cm11 via cyanogenmod installer. When I was done with installing it, I installed Rom Manager application. The application then offered to install CWM Recovery, so I agreed to do so since I am more accustomed to it than TWRP.
Was working, until I the phone told me I had a new update.
The update downloads, and tries to install, but nothing happens ( or happens wrong so it just aborts), and I am left with the "there is an update for your phone".
So I figured out I might do it manually, so I went to Rom Manager and set TWRP to be default, and went to recovery.... and there was CWM.
I tried GooManager, TWRP Manager, all still reboot into CWM not TWRP.
I then tried CWM and it worked flashing the latest snapshot, but it had a serious bug, so I restored to the previous snapshot. ( Can't how that is relevant to the subject).
I really would like to install the TWRP and remove CWM. My question is: How do I remove CWM and install TWRP.
Thanks.
Just learn fastboot and manually flash TWRP image. If nothing goes wrong, TWRP will overwrite CWM as your only recovery.

Tuna is your phone. Tuna is Toro, Toro+ and maguro.. As said before learn how to use fastboot and flash it via fastboot. Plenty of guides.. Its really easy.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium HD app
Yea at this point you may need to use fastboot. If multiple tries of above haven't worked.
As said, it's REALLY easy.
You can use fastboot to clear recovery partition in case something is corrupted in it. And can just do a fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the path to recovery.img file you are installing. If you are cd'd into folder where recovery.img is located you can just use the name of the img file instead of the full path name to it.... it might sound confusing, but there are step by step fool proof guides to follow. And after you've done it once you'll be like "dang what was I worried about, this fastboot and adb stuff is easy" lol...)
Let us know if you need any clarification on the process
