How to flash CWM Recovery Touch on T-Mobile G2?

I've been trying for hours and I can't seem to figure it out. I googled counltess times and it seems like other phones get .zip files and the G2 gets a .img file. I'm not exactly a noob, but not exactly an expert so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

If you have the eng hboot you can do "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Or you can flash it from inside ROM Manager. Not sure what sort of zip you have, if that's one that can be flashed from hboot or not.

I've tried the fastboot flash command it doesnt work
and its not a zip file its just .img

Ok so you don't have eng hboot.
Do you have the ROM Manager app installed ? Is there not an option to flash it from there ? Mine does, but I'm not sure if this is only an option for the paid version of ROM Manager.

Yeah you have to pay $2 but I don't want to pay for something that I can get for free. I might be sounding cheap right now hahaha, i don't have a credit card or anything so I can't really pay for it..

Have you tried pushing the file to the phone using ADB?

And then do what after that?

Push the file to your sdcard
Then rename it to recovery.img so its easier
Go into your terminal in your phone and do this
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
That's it and your done

I actually tried using the ".zip" twice (once from Rom Manager and once directly from recovery). Every time I seems to go well and after install I land in touch recovery environment and think yes this really worked... So then I reboot to recovery and guess what... I'm back in the oiriginal non touch version !!!

Please help - 4ext recovery problem

I installed the fatsys HBOOT and rebooted the phone and went in to 4ext recovery and it told that i need to wipe my cash and to format my partitions. When i did that i got stuck the formatting system. I rebooted the phone.. did that twice and not thing happen.
Now when I boot my phone and when 4ext loads there are no menus. so I'm stuck and I can install anything. please help

Does it boot into the os? Do you have 4EXT Recovery control?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

it does not boot to the OS.
comes to the boot loader...when i select recovery...4ext recovery loads but no menus

I have a same error..
I just wanted to install: Runnymede AIO V6.1.1 Special Edition beta Version with fatsys HBOOT. But after i updated my HBOOT, i cant see any menus in the 4ext system.. I cant reboot my system.. Kinda Bricked.. I also tried to install other HBOOTs, but isnt working..
what do you mean by 4EDXT recovery Control? I'm Just able to go into the Bootloader..

Recovery control is to 4EXT as rom manager is to ClockworkMod but only effective if you can boot into the os as it is an app. Does the hboot you have have fastboot command availability? If so grab a version of the recovery and fastboot flash it
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

I do have the Fastboot command.. but then i just got the options to go to Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader and Power Down...

What's fatsys HBOOT? And how did you install it ie nandroid backup, fastboot flash hboot, reboot-bootloader, erase and nandroid restore? That doesn't sound like good behaviour - never had anything like that changing HBOOTs (AlphaRev ones or custom using _thalamus' tool).
Can you boot into fastboot, and have you got a copy of recovery img on your PC? If yes fastboot flash recovery to phone and try going into recovery again. If not you might have to fastboot flash an AlphaRev table to sort out borked partitions - as i say i have no idea what fatsys HBOOT is or does.
Changing critical system stuff like nand partitions I'd stick with fastboot and flash known tables like AlphaRev ones after checking md5s.

INT2SD
What is INT2SD?
INT2SD doesn't use symlinks. It mounts ext partition on your SD to /data, thus eliminating the need for the mtd5 userdata partition. This makes the mtd5 userdata partition unneeded. It is used in conjunction with the fatsys HBOOT (more info later on), allowing most of the vital parts of a ROM to stay on the system partition without the need to symlink half of it to the SD due to memory shortage.
For now, there is only one ROM here, but more will come! If you wish to see INT2SD in your favorite ROM or in your own ROM, please post here!

EDIT:
I guess i shall install Android SDK... which im doing now.. but after installing it.. i need assistance

Once you have sdk set up on your pc and a copy of a recovery.img on your pc it's easy from there as long as that hboot allows you to run fastboot commands.

No not your back-up image files, when you installed 4EXT Recovery Updater and used it to flash the 4EXT recovery did you set the option for save the 4EXT Recovery .img file to your SD card? This is the img file I meant, if you have a 4EXT recovery img you fastboot flash this with phone in fastboot mode - then you should be able to get into 4Ext recovery and restore one of your nandroids.
Can't upload a recovery img file for you at the moment but sure there must be one you could download perhaps from the 4EXT thread.
Edit - Ok looks like that HBOOT may have been created using thalamus custom tool, did you check the md5 before flashing it?
If you can get into fastboot and install the SDK on PC, in Windows cmd prompt check your device is recognised by typing 'fastboot devices' first, if it returns the serial no of your phone then fastboot is working ok.

You can also boot recovery from fastboot rather then though the phone,
Fastboot boot recovery.IMG
Then
adb push Rom.zip

With the latest CWM recovery, there is no need to adb push rom.zip. Give it a try.
Once you fastboot boot recovery.img, it will auto-mount the usb storage, so just place your rom.zip there, no more adb push is needed.
To make it permanent, just simply fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

While installing a stock rom i got an error with the system files (see picture)
Now i cant do anyting it just shows me the HTC Logo with 4 white triangles with exclamation marks. i cant get in recovery or anything.
Does anyone have an idea for what to do ?

if u tried to run a ruu.exe file then it failed coz u still have CM7r2 hboot, u should of used the AlphaRev downgrader first. the CM7r2 hboot system partition is too small for the ruu

It should be easy.
Flash this in bootloader (Vol Dn + Power). Put the file on root of your SD Card. Then rename it to PB99IMG.zip
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-4hydAqepNwbUZqWUd0ZTlFaW8
Then then pull your battery off, and copy on your root of SD card file below. It is unrooted stock ROM for desire. Again, you have to rename this file to PB99IMG.zip and flash in bootloader. It should be working.

imo this is not fastboot flashing. Flashing from fastboot means putting the device in fastboot mode, connecting the PC with USB and executing the fastboot program with the img file as argument.

And how do you call it? You need to flash this two ZIP files from Fastboot (you do not need USB connection with PC or Andrid Flasher utility) when requested files are stored on SD card. When you enter fastboot mode it will search for file PB99IMG.zip and if found this on your SD card root it give you an option to flash it.

There are two modes during booting. One is the bootloader mode and the other is the fastboot mode. It is in bootloader mode (Vol Dn + Power) that PB99IMG.zip files are flashed.

Hello, i was trying to install the MIUI rom on my phone through recovery. It seems as i tried installing an update and not the base rom. After the installation my phone got stuck at the boot screen and i tried connecting my phone to my computer to transfer the base rom which i downloaded later. I cannot get the fastboot to work with my computer anymore. I tried to format the SD-card, clearing all possible caches in the recovery etc. What do i do now? Is there any way to get my phone working again or am i f*ucked?
If i try to mount the usb storage in recovery it says: "E: Unable to open ums lunfile".
