if your recovery is a zip file, unzip it and it will contain a img file (maybe recovery.img). You can flash that using
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Remember the img must be in the directory with the fastboot.exe and that the correct drivers are installed for it to work. Also it may not be called recovery.img so use the name of the file depending on what it was, then you can use fastboot reboot to reboot afterwards.
Fastboot boot recovery.img is a temp recovery flash I think?

Hi can anyone help me pls and tell me how exactly and what exactly does: Extract boot.img from ROM zip and flash it using ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’.
Use 'fastboot erase cache' to avoid boot issues.
I mean what do i have to do I know that these are commands in cmd but what do I have to have on my computer .I`m sorry if this question is answered somewhere but i looked for it for 2 hours and did not find it.
Thx in advance for your help
Once you download the VenomRom.zip file.. you need to open it with winrar/winzip/7zip and extract the boot.img file from it...
Extract the boot.img file in your fastboot folder... Now boot your phone into fastboot mode and connect it to your PC.
Open the fastboot folder where you had extracted the boot.img file and right click anywhere in the window along with pressing the shift key... in the menu, click on "Open Command Window Here"
Now run the following code:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
You can download the fastboot folder from here : http://www.mediafire.com/?cm2famr3xd2cnom

And what do I have to have in the fastboot folder apart from the zip and the boot.img?Thx for the previous answer
Saw it thx
You don't need the zip file in your fastboot folder... You only need the boot.img file so that you can flash it using the above command!
Copy the zip file on to your phone... you flash that in recovery...
fastboot folder has has 4 files... fastboot.exe, adb.exe and couple of dll files...

Thx alot for ur help.One more question though,If i want to flash another kernel how do I do it?
and sorry for beeing ssuch a noob
You flash the boot.img from the downloaded kernel.zip and then install the .zip file in the recovery like a rom. Wipe the dalvik cache and the cache from the partition (all in the recovery) and reboot
In the case of Venom.. you don't need to repack the kernel...
so...
1. Flash the boot.img (of the kernel)
2. Go into recovery and delete cache/dalvic
3. flash the modules.zip file in recovery...
4. Reboot

Are you able to enter fastboot or recovery? Which recovery do you have?
You can push any file to the device using adb; for exampe:
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140 <<< find CID 044
100% working ....
1- Go into Recover (CWM) and Mount USB
2- Now From your PC create a folder in the root of the storage and call it "clockworkmod"
3- In the "clockworkmod" folder create another folder named "backup"
4- Extract the .zip file in that folder into the phone (do not change the name of the folder extracted cause it could give md5sum problems)(also the folder name must not have any space between words)
5- Reboot phone into Fastboot mode and flash the boot.img by typing in cmd
Code:
CWM NAND: fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img
TWRP NAND: fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win
7- Reboot the phone into Recovery again
8- Go to Backup & Restore> restore> and here choose the folder previously extracted, then you have the stock installed
if you need fastboot exe file let me know

but the Nandroid Backup there for cid 044 required JB HBOOT. My HBOOT is 0.43.0000.
What Can I do?
and How can I update my HBOOT?
When I tried to restore i got error:
error while restoring /system
What can I do?
SO, i'm trying to ADB sideload the latest firmware (MRA58V), but when I go to the google developers website, it downloads in a .TGZ file.
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
I've tried changing it to .ZIP, then flashing, but it fails invalid signature.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Thread moved to proper forum
Simply flash the .img files inside the zip with fastboot. Takes 2-3 minutes.
Since only boot and system changed that's all you need to flash.
The commands I used today for 6.0.1:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot format cache
fastboot reboot
That's it, doesn't wipe anything.

adb is not involved in flashing of twrp.
make sure the file is named recovery.img and it's in your adb tools along with with fastboot.exe
command is: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

In addition to the above mentioned make sure you're booted to download mode. From bootloader this would work with fastboot oem reboot-download. You can't flash TWRP from bootloader mode any longer. This has been the case since the One M9 days.

If it's renamed to recovery.img, then using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img isn't going to work.
It would have to be fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Also to the OP, flash it in download mode as stated above.
