First you will need to reflash your recovery while your phone is in fastboot mode, you can do this by opening a cmd and using the command 'fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilehere.img' and changing recoveryfilehere for your recovery file's name.
I am a bit unsure on these next steps but I believe you will then need to boot into the recovery you just installed and then use the following commands.
'adb devices'
'adb shell'
'mount sdcard'
and then in another cmd you will use the command 'adb push ROMNAME.zip /sdcard
then reboot into recovery and look for your ROM in the root of your sd card and install it as usual. Don't forget to flash the kernal too.

I tried these steps but didnt get result

See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26119526&postcount=17 and adapt to yours.

i tired many times , but each time get message " error:device not found" :S

Do you have HTC USB driver installed ?

yes i did

So it means that you're successfully boot into recovery by fastboot boot recovery.img and adb not working for you ?
Please note, adb will not work when you do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Need some help guys!

I tried flashing a rom and it wouldn't load past the bootscreen. I am now stuck in recovery and I can't mount my USB storage to flash another rom. Is there a way i can transfer the file from my computer to my phone while in recovery or the bootloader? I am on a Mac running OSX Lion. thanks for the help.

You didn't make a NANDROID BACKUP?!?!?!?!?
I am not sure about the mounting in recovery but I think you can fastboot files to your phone in fastboot mode..
That is all I know.

no, I didn't do a backup stupid mistake on my part i know...

If its recognized by the computer, then you're fine.
Download ADB and Fastboot (I've attached the .zip to this post). Unzip it to your home folder, and drop whatever files you need to transfer to your phone in that folder.
Open terminal and direct it to the path of your ADB file (aka, type "cd " and drag the folder into Terminal).
Type:
Code:
./adb devices
and hit return. If you get "devices attached xyzxyzxyzyxz" you're good.
Type:
Code:
./adb push FILENAME.zip /sdcard/
and hit return. If it's a full ROM, it'll take a while, you don't get progress or any notification until its finished transferring.
Then load up your CWM and wipe your data etc etc then flash the ROM.

Read my post. It's "./adb push FILENAME.zip /sdcard/ " . Just go into your recovery and do the ADB command to push the file. Let it xfer then you're good to go.

Mount /data in mounts and storage
then preform this
Code:
adb push name-of-ROM.zip /data/media
I would have said sdcard but sometimes that doesnt work.. at least the last time i've tried it didnt work correctly and wouldnt bring up my "sdcard" at all and had to reboot the recovery and it wasnt there. I know for sure this method works.
OH oops.. Boot into recovery and go into mounts and storage and mount /data sorry..

It'll be visible in CWM when you go select a zip. Just the same as you did the last one. All ADB push does is put it on your phone so you can flash it normally. Exact same as if you moved it via Android File Transfer or download.

[Q] Flash Recovery .IMG without PC

My usb is corroded and I cannot connect to a computer to get into fastboot. I'm trying to be as careful as I can so that I don't brick my phone, but I need to update my CWM Recovery. If anyone has suggestions, or guidance, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
I have searched for this and haven't seen anything related to AT&T SGIII's. I have tried using Flash Image GUI, but it is only for Sprint.
Model SGH-I747M
Android 4.04
Kyan Rom 1.5

The best answer to my questions was provided by BCSC, THANKS! Worked great!
Follow these steps exactly and you will have the latest Recovery running. You do not need a PC for this method.
1) Download correct Clockworkmod ot TWRP (touch or regular as you wish) for your device
2) Rename it to recovery.IMG and place it at the root of your internal sdcard
3) Download and install terminal emulator from the Play Store
4) Run the terminal and
type: su (press enter)
Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)
Be sure that you have typed the above code correctly. You will not see a confirmation. It is done almost instantly.
5) Reboot into recovery and enjoy

I don't remember the commands, had to do it about 3 years ago, but you can do it from terminal emulator. A Google search should give the results you need.
I don't use cwm prefer twrp which can be done from the goomanger app I believe it can be done from rom manager though.

Just use rom manager I find its easy as pie, just make sure you install the proper recovery

I considered TWRP, but was scared to change out of fear something would go wrong... I think I will probably go that route. thanks!
EDIT: Tried to use Goo.mgr to install TWRP. It downloaded and went through the process, but recovery still loads CWM.
Found this on TWPR's website:
Paul Ireland • 11 months ago
So, I had a question. I couldn't really find any guides on how to install this if you already have CWM. I tried using goomanager to install and it would go through and say everything had completed, but when I'd reboot into recovery, I'd still have CWM.
My response, was to .tar the recovery image and install via ODIN.
Everything seems to have installed OK, I successfully flashed a ROM with it, but are there any drawbacks (other than the flash counter) to this method?

Thank you, I have a CWM recovery installed.. I'm trying to update it, but cannot select D2att from the Recovery Setup. It only shows d2mtr for SGIII... I downloaded the correct file D2att.img from CWM.com, but do not know how to manually install the .img file without using fastboot.

Does your USB port work? If it does, you can flash TWRP via Odin.

My odin doesn't flashes it.
I did all the steps that we should do to flash a recovery but when it completes my device stucks at the boot logo and then again i have to flash my stock recovery to get it back running.

Which recovery are you flashing? This is TWRP for the d2lte: https://dl.twrp.me/d2att/
Download the latest tar version of TWRP, open Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time, flash, when you see reset" in the status window, remove USB cable, remove battery, replace battery, boot directly into recovery mode.

Not working
Thanks for the suggestion but i did all the same steps but not working i download TWRP officially but when I flash it with odin it stucks at the boot and then I have to flash the stock recovery to get it back running.

Just to confirm but the phone being flashed is an i747?

Why not buy a new usb cable?

Will this method of the Android Emulator will work for every other Android Phone or just for Samsung ?

The shell command referenced in the OP dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 is highly device specific. You would need to make sure you use the right command for your device, as you are specifying the recovery partition with /dev/block/mmcblk0p18. Having said that, newer devices which use the A/B partition scheme don't have a recovery partition, so this entire thread is not applicable.

I'm assuming you have unlocked your bootloader and have root. If not please don't read any further and read the guides first. If you have unlocked your bootloader and have root then proceed:
Place the TWRP.img file to your fastboot folder. Connect your phone to pc via USB
Open command prompt and "cd" to your fastboot folder
fastboot reboot-bootloader
when your phone reboots to bootloader then,
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img -> use the actual name of the recovery file here.

Well its rooted but i cant seem to install TWRP... maybe some 1 on 1 help? anybody?

Anybody??
