I can get into fast boot easily but unable to get KFFirstAide to root. Is there a recovery image with root and TWRP that I can recover it easily (already down grounded with a recovery image)?

Hi everyone,
I've done a LOT of reading/searching, but since I can't find sulution decided someone could help.
Just to avoid future questions:
>My Desire is rooted.
>I tried using fastboot (Error: - not allowed)
>I tried using adb (I get an error that /system/bin/sh cannot be found).
>I tried Unreavoked3, but since the phone is rooted, the recovery doesn't isntall.
>I tried ROM Manager. It says the recovery is up to date, but when you boot it, it is stock.
>I'm using original USB cable supplied with the phone.
The only way I get into CWM recovery is flashing update.zip on my sdcard (fakeflash?).
My question are:
1. Why i cant access shell via adb?
2. How should i flash recovery?
Thank You in advance.
So if you turn the phone on whilst holding the volume down button and then select Recovery it doesn't boot into the custom Recovery?
No, it boots into stock recovery.
I just use the Android Flasher Utility (here). Really quick and painless, but you need s-off though.
I'm quite curious, how are you rooted without a custom recovery?
Maybe I don't get it, I bought the phone about a year ago and rooted using unreavoked utility. The recovery I get to gives me 4 options. Text is in blue colour, reboot, apply update.zip and wipe options. What I do, is apply update.zip so i get into CMW recovery.
If you rooted with unrEVOked it flashes CWM. If you've never had that you're not rooted
I'd go back to 100% stock with an RUU suitable for your phone and then root again
EDIT: You weren't rooted and then accepted an OTA update did you?
I think I didn't. So if I:
1. Do a nandroid backup now, I have custom rom installed.
2. Then go back to stock RUU.
3. Root the phone.
Can I do a nandroid restore so I don't have to install everything back again?
EDIT: But I have Superuser app, and if I enter Terminal, type "su" I get root privileges. How can I not be rooted?
New GS2. Tried GooManager and says recovery installed, but when I reboot, I get the standard recovery. Tried Odin. It said PASS for both TWRP and CW, yet when I try to boot into recovery, I just get stock. What step am I overlooking? Why does it say PASS when it hasn't changed anything?
You need to root first use auto root or exynos exploit app both by chainfire
then install recovery

So I screwed up I was able to unlock bootloader, install TWRP and root. Tried to install Xposed and am stuck in boot loop. I can get to recovery and fastboot mode (bootloader). I either need the original rom so I can install with fastboot or some way to get past the boot looping. NO I DID NOT MAKE A BACKUP! First time I ever did something without making a backup first.
Any help would be appreciated. Huawei Mediapad M2-801W
Never mind. Was able to put Xposed uninstaller on ad card, enter TWRP and flash. All good.

Recovery is gone after boot unlock,twrp install attempt.
I tried to instal TWRP before unlocking the bootloader, it failed so i tried uaing the official Asus unlock tool and the twrp again it still fails.
Now i cannot access recovery at all, it just reboots into fastboot. I choose recovery but dead android never shows up. Just fastboot again.
How can i flash the original recocery back?
I have tried through adb (failed) and using the microsd card (flash does not start, just reboots to fastboot) method.
Otherwise the phone works as normal.

Definitely fail unlock bootloader,splashscreen should be white after unlocked bootloader.
Use unofficiall bootloader unlock under development

After it reboots into Fastboot use your volume rocker to navigate it to Recovery. When the screen goes black, press power and Volume up and when you release volume up it will take you to stock recovery.

Along with an unlocked bootloader you Need USB debugging turned on. Then while you're in bootloader use 'fastboot flash recovery (IMG file) ' to flash your recovery

Success!
i didnt have the recovery.img file
downloaded it and flashed through ADB ( after disabling my screen lock or you get "permission denied")
i can now get back into recovery.

hi,
i have installed a custom rom on my D850. The ROM is working properly but im not able to boot into TWRP. When i boot into recovery using adb or using the button combo, it shows the TWRP splash screen and gets stuck.
Im not able to reinstall the twrp image using flashify / twrp manager and other apps. im not even able to enter fastboot. When i type adb reboot fastboot it just reboots the device.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
