[Q] "fastboot boot boot.img" without pc - Nokia X

Is there any wau i can perform the function that
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
does without involving a pc on the go.
I managed to dual boot a Nokia X between stock and AOSP rom but I always have to use fastboot to get into the AOSP rom or i have to use TWRP to switch between kernels.

No! it requires pc, and you can advance restore boot with any recovery

Actually, it does not!
You need to go for something like this:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk#p#
That is if you placed boot.img on sdcard partition and you know whis mmcblk contains boot partition (you need to put numbers instead of # in terminal). I highly recommend further googling for you about dd command and mmcblks on android. You will find everything out if you want to.

I'm familiar with dd.... i need to boot temporarily like dual booting kernels.... dd would permanently flash the new kernel.

Terminal Emulator

Is there a way to flash recovery image with terminal emulator i knew there was a way when i first rooted my G1 if so is it safe and how to i do it ?
If you want to flash a recovery image (I guess you mean a Nandroid backup) you need to do it from the recovery. You cannot do it from the phone itself, neither from terminal nor from ADB.

No i mean flash cwm recovery i.e (boot.boot.img) from terminal emulator instead of ADB as ADB is nothing more than a remote terminal?
You don't flash boot.img files with ADB, you do it with Fastboot. Fastboot is a completely different thing.

Ooops my bad lol i thought there was a way to to it with terminal emulator like flash_image etc
For most phones, you can flash the recovery through a terminal.. but with newer SE phones, recovery is built into the kernel and you can't flash a new kernel unless you're in fastboot mode
There's three ways to get CWM working on your phone.
1. Boot the CWM (boot.img) through fastboot. Then use it and then reboot phone. CWM is gone and you need to boot it again from fastboot when ever you have to use it.
2. Flash Doomlords kernel as it's embedded in the boot.img (kernel). You can boot into at every time you need to from your phone (native CWM).
3. Flash CM7 onto your phone. Same story as with Doomlords kernel.
For all three choises above you need an unlocked bootloader to do it as you have to have fastboot access to issue the commands.

Fastboot boot recovery.img terminal emulator

Hi! I need your expert help!
I'm able to do this command through Windows: "fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-maguro.img" to simply boot into CWM without flash it.
My goal is to get the same result with terminal emulator directly on my phone! How can I do?
I keep the CWM img file (recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.1-maguro.img) into the phone. What command have I to type?
Thanks sooooo much

If you don't want to flash a custom recovery permanently, there's no way to only boot it from Android.

[Q] phone failed while updating TWRP and now i cant access RECOVERY, only HBOOT.

Hey!
So here's the deal:
I'm running LiquidSmooth ROM (KK Version) and I was trying to update the ROM to the newest Lollipop version, but it kept failing. No big deal, i nandroid backed up, and then did a total wipe and tried again. Failed.
Okay, maybe my TWRP recovery was out of date, i tried updating it using the official TWRP app...
then everything went wrong. The install failed and now whenever i ask my phone to go into recovery mode, it sends me into HBoot. I've been trying for 3 days to figure this out, and i cant, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Im not incredibly well versed at this stuff, so it might have to be a dummy's guide.
in the meantime, here are the details...
When i try to flash ANY custom recovery using ROM Installer app, here is what the error message says:
"COMMAND:
flash image recovery /storage/emulated/legacy/romtoolbox/recoveries/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-m8.img"
"OUTPUT:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p34: write error: No space left on device
3+0 records in
2+0 records out
1024 bytes transferred in 0.004 secs"
And when i try to reboot into RECOVERY (and it sends me into BOOTLOADER instead), here is the information it gives me:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
M8_UL_CA PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-3.18.0.0000

FASTBOOT USB
thank you so much in advance. i have NO idea what happened... i know the fact that i have S-On might have something to do with it, but i dont have access to a PC, only MACs and i can't use the Sunshine app because i'm already running a custom rom. What can i do?
The thing I noticed is the block that's indicated is not the right one,if you look at the pic below the recovery block is mmcblk0p43.
I would download the custom recovery you want and manually input it "dd" method
Or
Download the custom recovery img and use an app called Flashify
If you can't boot into Android you'll need to fastboot flash your recovery. The one you're using is rather old (I believe 2.8.3.0 is the most recent version). You'll need to download the recovery img file and place it in your ADB/Fastboot folder on your computer. Connect your phone and computer in Fastboot USB mode. Open up a command terminal and type fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img and hit enter (enter the actual recovery file name and not nameofrecovery). The new recovery should then be flashed to your phone, unless you get an error in the terminal on your computer.
As stated above, Flashify works great for flashing recoveries to your phone, but it only works if you can boot into the Android OS.
I would seriously stay away from flashing recovery using apps, they rely on build.prop to identify your device, and if that's not correct the recovery will go to the wrong partition (which seems what's going on in your case because mmcblk0p34 is the recovery partition on the HTC One M7, not HTC One M8 !!!!
just flash it in bootloader (FASTBOOT USB):
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache

Don't dd
Don't flashify
Just install mini adb+fastboot for Mac and do the commands mentioned. It's pretty much the same for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Why do you think I've mentioned the other methods.
Not everyone understands how to use fastboot like we do.
If he has a bootable OS than Flashify will work just fine (I wouldn't recommend an app that I haven't tried/used myself)

dd is a method using a terminal emulator on your device.
The screenshot is from the twrp website and the "dd" method is described as a working method if in fact you can boot to the OS (SuperSU is needed)

Because flashify, TWRP manager, ROM manager, etc apps expect the proper device info in build.prop
and will then dd whatever partition it sees fit... In this case, it thinks it's an m7
fastboot flash does not.

I agree the sure fire way is fastboot .

But maybe not so easy for some.
As long as the OP gets what he wants is all I'm in here for(not a long drawn out tutorial as those already exist)

Sorry if my answers are short and not in much detail, I'm typing on the phone... I prefer a full keyboard
But dd is not something I easily recommend (much more difficult than fastboot flash)
and if you check the build.prop of the ROM mentioned by the OP you'd see it's not entirely proper
I've seen enough bricks due to "flashy apps" and one-clicks (no offence intended to any)
fastboot at least does some checking of what is being flashed and where, so that is what I personally recommend.

Thank you for the more detailed information.
Small keyboards blow for sure.
@nkk71 warning is quite valid
dd used correctly, but ideally from a script, is very useful and powerful.
dd is also affectionately know as 'disk destroyer'
just one small typo, or worse getting the input and output reversed, can really make a mess.
it will write more or less anything to anything including your boot sector and data.
just saying.

Here is a short video on how to input the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img " command once you have drivers correctly installed and the img file in the proper location .
Now this video is from a tablet to my HTC one m8 and not from a
PC/Desktop as it's over obvious.
Just like all other videos I don't show how to "easily" set up the drivers for fastboot (oh that's cause you don't need drivers to adb or fastboot from a tablet to a phone).

Okay so i finally tried flashing it using Terminal/FASTBOOT... I downloaded the latest TWRP recovery for GSM, placed it in my adb/fastboot folder...and typed in the command and it came up with an error. Here are the screenshots. Help? Im at my wits end.... thank you in advance!
wait, i got it! flashed!! I was in the wrong directory, i guess. So now i got into the correct directory, but the phone still wont go into recovery when i reboot. :crying:
Sigh. okay, back to square one.
edit:
and great. i think that "erase cache" command unmounted my internal storage...because now i get no phone signal and my local storage cannot be found.
What. is. happening.

1) you're on hboot 3.18 so that would indicate you firmware (the OS- line or version-main from a fastboot getvar all) is still 2.xx.xxx.x version, so yes, you're going to have signal and wifi problems, as mentioned in the various ROM threads you need matching firmware to the ROM you're running.
2) this could also be the reason it's not entering the recovery, you could try an older version of TWRP, and make sure MD5 checks out on your download, a corrupt download could also be the reason
3) the "fastboot erase cache" doesnt affect your internal storage or anything, it just wipes the cache which will get rebuilt as needed
4) missing/not mounted internal storage, is a common issue on Android 5.x (not only HTC, many devices), download a terminal emulator to your phone (or alternatively open an abd shell), and do the following commands:
Code:
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

[V500] How to install TWRP under stock LP?

I recently flashed the korean LP build on my V500. Since its terribly slow I wanted to move to CM. I read that TWRP is required to flash it and hence tried installing TWRP using both the TWRP Manager APP and flashify but neither of them seems to work as they are meant to work only over KK bootlaoader. Is there a ways to install TWRP over LP bootloader?
You need to install kitkat bootloader first and then install twrp (root is required):
1) Download kitkat bootloader: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023707804
2) Extract the 6 bootloader img files and copy them to the internal sdcard.
3) Install Terminal Emulator and open it.
4) Run the following commands (grant root access to Terminal Emulator after the first command):
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
dd if=/sdcard/rpm.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/rpm
dd if=/sdcard/sbl1.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sbl1
dd if=/sdcard/sbl2.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sbl2
dd if=/sdcard/sbl3.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/sbl3
dd if=/sdcard/tz.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/tz
5) Download latest official TWRP, rename it to twrp.img and copy it to the internal sdcard.
6) Open Terminal Emulator and run the following commands (needs root again):
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
7) You are done! Reboot to recovery and flash any rom you want.

Same question here... On. Stock lollipop Korean version but assume I need to be rooted to try the steps detailed above?
If you don't have access to a custom recovery, I guess you could root using this method (I didn't test it), you will also need LG drivers.

thank you for the guide I could boot into recovery but after I rebooted normally (i didn't do anything in TWRP) I got a boot error cause: boot certification verify. will installing cm12.1 solve the problem despite that flashing roms won't flash boot partition? or I should go to download mode and install stock rom? i still can boot to TWRP but not the rom
Where exactly shall I copy the img files to?
Have tried to copy them to the following places:
/
/sdcard/
/data/media/
/data/media/0
Also tried to use sd-card in command instead of sdcard, but I always get the same error; No such file or directory
Any suggestions?
Finally got it to work.
For some unknown reason Terminal Emulator would not accept the location for the files when I placed them under /sdcard/
Moved the *.img files to /storage/emulated/0, and used this location in the commandos instead of /sdcard/
Sorry for kind of off topic but I recently had the same reboot experience on the VK810.4G. It normally works and works again now. It works now too and was doing lots of unrelated things to my tablet so no idea what caused or fixed the issue.

thanks for the details,but after flashing TWRP I cannot boot into the system anymore:

Hey! Thanks for the tip! Just to clarify: when you flash the LP bootloader do you lose access to TWRP?
In the Stock installs of LP (HK or Korean) I've tried the LP bootloader appears to be "locked" (can't think of the right term) so that you can't access stock recovery from key strokes. Can you still keystroke boot into TWRP?
Many thanks!

As far as I know it is not possible at this time. Best to hope it is added into a future release for us on TWRP. It is normally the first thing I do on TWRP and I was just as shocked to not see on it as well.

i am relatively new to the moto z but i think you can use the Chinese TWRP and backup the EFS, i didn't see it available on the non-chinese TWRP. You can do a search on here to find a link.
1)Flash TWRP recovery(Official & latest).
2) Backup--> nandroid Backup
3) select system checkbox.
4)Swipe to confirm.
1)using terminal from TWRP-->Advanced-->Terminal
2) type following command
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/modemst1.bin bs=512 (press Return) dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 of=/sdcard/modemst2.bin bs=512 (press Return)
Copy both file modemst1.bin & modemst2.bin to comp.

That's the best way!! Chinese twrp have the EFS backup option, but if you use another twrp version (tomparr or Alberto97) you can do this... in the moto z play must work in this way (two commands):
To backup via TWRP terminal:
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1 of=/sdcard/modemst1.emmc.win
dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2 of=/sdcard/modemst2.emmc.win
To restore via TWRP terminal:
dd if=/sdcard/modemst1.emmc.win of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst1
dd if=/sdcard/modemst2.emmc.win of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/modemst2
Thank you guys for your help.
As Chinese TWRP doesn't work on my reteu mzp, to use fastboot commands is not so bad option.

Use this version as it allows EFS backup.

I'm currently with tomparr TWRP, with RR rom, so, if I understand correctly, I should install the TWRP that you provide me via fastboot, enter TWRP, make backup, shut down the device, put tomparr TWRP via fastboot and reboot into Android, and copy TWRP folder on my PC, I understand correctly????? Sorry for the troubles

No, I sent step by step simple instruction to you. It is as simple as flashing over your existing TWRP, no need for fastboot and flipping back and forth. You are over thinking this.
