you either use fastboot to flash cwm.img, or you use your currently installed recovery to update it.

Use Rom Manager, or flash it manually on the extisting recovery

Go in to fastboot mode, type: fastboot flash recovery imagename.img
This assumes you have fastboot and adb drivers installed and working.

So i downloaded the img file
renamed it recovery.img
move the file to "C:\Users\rAv\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
rebooted the phone to fastboot
connected the usb cable
open cmd and run the following command " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
It worked okay and then rebooted the phone.
Now how do i make sure the twrp was installed?
Thanks

I hope u had changed the file
path
Now bout in fast boot and select boatloader with the help off power button u should arrive at a menu with options like recovery
Click. On recovery
And next time put a easier push for example c:/android

Problem with fastboot
Hi. I have padfone2. I have rooted it and all was fine. i removed some stock apps and before installing recovery and backing up the phone i did factory reset. Now the phone shows asus logo then shows android logo with progress bar and few seconds later it reboots and does it again and again. I want to flash a custom rom so i started the phone in fastboot with power/volume buttons. All the screen shows is "Fastboot!!!" at the top of the screen and asus logo somewhere in the middle. I flashed suggested twrp with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" from the cmd and it looked ok. When I rebooted the phone it went straight into the loop again. When I start it in fastboot mode there is no menu or anything else to start the recovery. What do I need to do to open it. Please help. Thanks.

This is the one V forum so I don't know what you can flash, but when your phone restarts (boot loop) you must have flashed a wrong kernel. To reboot into recovery connect the pad to the pc and type in cmd "adb reboot recovery" then just flash the right kernel, you have to find that on your own, check the thread of the rom you are trying to use

[Q] Ruined my Recovery Mode?

Hi everyone.
I was able to successfully unlock the bootloader and root the phone.
However, I have trouble trying to get into the Clockwork Recovery Mode. Every time I try I just get a message saying that this is a special distribution and some other legal stuff. I can't get into recovery mode.
Anyone else have this problem and fix it? If so, how so? I would like to install some custom ROMs.

Have u flashed the recovery in fastboot?. The screen with red letters is normal.it shows u have installed custom firmware on ur phone.

I believe I have. I have also done it via the Clockwork Mod app.
How would I go about making backups and installing custom roms?

For that u have to flash custom recovery. Flash it again...
Download appropriate recovery.img for ur phone. place it in fastboot folder.rename it recovery.img.go into fastboot n connect phone 2 pc.it should say fastboot USB. Now use command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img while in fastboot( not in boatloader screen).

I think I did that. But I will try again
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Did it twice, unfortunately all I get is the disclaimer instead of the Clockword Mod recovery options. I can't even do a factory reset.

Here is what I used:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635520
Still doesn't work.

If you flashed the clockworkmod recovery.img via fastboot and it says successful it should be on there. The HTC disclaimer boot screen is normal. You must boot into the bootloader and select recovery to get into clockworkmod.

The only recovery I can get working is Team Win. I Unfortunately after I install a rom it either freezes at the disclaimer or the rom reboots the system. The I can't even restore the stock recovery.
Any advice?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

TWRP is more convenient than clockworkmod for this particular phone in my opinion. When flashing rom don't forget you have to flash boot.img (kernel) from the rom (usually extracted from the zip). If your having problems with roms you may have to RUU back to stock.

ROM won't flash

Hey ladies and gents. I am a total stranger on this part of XDA so please bear with me. I currently have a desire hd that I'm waiting to flash custom rom to but I'm having problems.
It's currently running stock 2.3.5 with sense. I've been trying to flash a 4.2.2 but it does nothing. I have root access abd custom recovery and it works just fine.
When I try to flash an updated recovery using rom manager or rom toolbox, the phone freezes. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong, I forgot how to work with htc phones.

you are flashing and update...you are flashing a rom. So, go to recovery and then:
Full wipe (Wipe data/factory reset - wipe cache partition - format system - format data - format cache)
Choose install zip from sdcard.
Choose zip file
Find the rom file (do not rename it) and flash it
If you are S-OFF then just reboot. If you have unlolcked the bootloader you need to reboot in fastboot usb and flash the rom boot.img in cmd by typing:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Tried to flash two and deleted stock recovery.

Hi all. Yesterday I rooted my ze551ml and tried to flash twrp onto my device. It was not successful and now I have no stock recovery. When I try to enter recovery by pushing the power button, it just returns to normal boot. I unlocked my bootloader with a file I found in the zenfone general section. How do I go about flashing the stock recovery. I downloaded a stock firmware from Asus and extracted it. But the recovery does not show up as a recovery.img. can someone give me some assistance or point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.

I have tried flashing twrp with twrp manager and it says successful. But when I try to enter recovery, it goes back to normal boot. No dead android. I have downloaded the firmware package for my phone and extracted the files. I found the recovery, but it does not appear to be a recovery.img file. I believe I need and image file to flash through ADB.

Thanks. I have tried downloading the stock firmware and extracted the recovery, buy can't seem to flash it as it is not a recovery image. Also the windroid toolkit doesn't recognise that USB debugging is enabled on my phone.

I don't know then I have no time today , all stuff is in that link re flashing recovery , stock or custom , full firmware etc etc ..you have minimal fastboot and adb installed ? Drivers etc , your fone is recognised in adb ? eg, adb devices ?
What I would do , is fastboot flash recovery.img (twrp) and be done with it .Although if you have damaged other stuff ..flash full firmware , all info is in the link ..

@quicksilver53 Are you saying that you wiped your Bootloader? Otherwise, if you've unlocked your Bootloader, go into Fast boot and flash the latest TWRP IMG with adb tools using the command "fast boot flash recovery TWRP.img"

I have tried to flash the latest TWRP recovery with those commands. It fails to flash. My bootloader has been unlocked with the unlock and relock program I found in the General section. I also have root. I have used root checker to verify. When I try to enter recovery, it goes right back to normal boot. I get no dead Android nor bootloader menu. I think when I tried to flash TWRP, it deleted my stock recovery. I am at a loss here. I never had this happen when flashing on my HTC one x or M7.

I have trouble getting into recovery through the power button too. Try turning on advanced power menu in developer options. Then try to reboot into recovery through the power menu.

I don't think your Bootloader is unlocked properly. Try unlocking again, as I myself have wiped my recovery partition more than once. The fast boot flash never fails me.

Quicksilver ? A few questions need answering please
1) do you have 'minimal adb and fastboot ' installed on pc ?
2) do you know the commands to flash a recovery in fastboot ?
3) and that you know how to get into fastboot ?
4) have you adb debugging enabled
Things to try, install 'reboot recovery' app from playstore and give it su rights then ..reboot bootloader ..then press the vol + once ...then try flash twrp in windroid toolkit ..the one for zen 2.
A few things to try there

Thank you for your efforts timbernot. I am on .174. I did download the stock recovery but for my build, but was unable to flash it. It showed up as recovery in my download folder. It is my understanding that I have to ad .img to it when I flash" fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". I will leave it for this evening as I am terribly frustrated at the moment. I'll try again on the weekend.
