Hi guys,
I lost my recovery after flashing ROMAUR, i dont have an access to a computer right now. Can i use flashify app to flash the boot.img i have that has a recovery built in it? Has anyone tried that app to flash a boot.img or recovery.img to their z5p?
In theory yes! However, i have had flashify soft brick more devices than I can count...

Hi, here is the situation. I got one half-broken Desire.
Fully formatted, s-off,cwm 5.0.2.0 with broken volume up and down keys.
So, when I get into the bootloader I can't get into the recovery to flash zip.
Anyone has some rooted image with boot.img, system.img data.img so I can flash it via fastboot?
Thanks.
You can flash .zip ROM through fastboot : http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...id#Android_Flashing_Guide_.28with_fastboot.29
I think you can also flash rom from Rom Manager

Thanks didn't know that... But pretty much useless since community roms don't contain android-info.txt file and some other related stuff.
However, I've figured out that after flashing boot.img via fastboot, it shows itself up in adb devices command so I managed to get into recovery by adb reboot recovery and flashed.
I was using the wonderful TWRP to flash and backup.
But since today I went into ROM Manager and updated to the new release of ClockWorkMod it is now using cwm as my default when I reboot into recovery. So how do I go back to using TWRP?
Easy method:
Goo Manager app from play store.
Options>Install TWRP
Still Easy Method:
Find the TWRP.img
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img

Instead of Goo Manager I use an app called Flash Image GUI.
Just flashed in the twrp .img file like you said and voila. Im back in twrp
Cheers! :-D
Thinking about switching my recovery from Twrp 2.7.0.1 to Philz touch. no current cool looking themes for Twrp,so just wanna check out Philz. I do have a couple questions though hopefully someone can answer....
1) Should i restore from my custom rom on Twrp to my stock backup i made before switching Recoveries?
2)when i switch Recoveries, do my backups delete on twrp? i know the backups on twrp won't carry over on philz but, if i do not like philz and decide to go back to twrp will all my backups be there?
3)Am i screwed if the philz recovery fails and something messes up? or will twrp still be there.
Thanks for any help.
1) You dont need to be on any certain rom, you just need to fastboot flash what ever recovery you want.
2) Your backuls will still be on your storage untill you delete them.
3) If philz dosent flash right, it may not boot to recovery or you may be left with twrp. But either way you can just fastboot flash back to the twrp you were on before.
The Flashify app works great for switching recoveries too. Just remember to check your md5 before you fastboot flash anything. Bad things can happen if you fastboot flash a bad img.

I only use fastboot. If your flash fails, just flash it again. Philz is the best, imo. Just put it in fastboot mode then "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and you are done(where recovery.img is the name of your image file, ijust switch all my current ones to recovery.img when i dump them into my adb folder and erase the old one).
Hey guys, I think i screwed up big time. I have just received my Htc one M8 from rogers (with no bloatware on it .. weird lol ) And i wanted to root it in order to use titanium back up.
So i followed a guide to root the phone everything went well execpt that now my phone boots straight into philz custom recovery....
When i was entering the fastboot commands to flash the recovery to the phone i made a mistake i wrote :
fastboot flash boot recovery.img
instead of
fastboot flash boot recovery recovery.img
....
So my guess is that i have overwritten the boot.img of the phone with the custom recovery which is bad... now i can't use the phone...
Is there a way to flash the stock boot image back? of to restore the phone like it was brand new?
Thanks for you help

Yeah this is what i wanted to do but i couldn't find a boot.img. I did find it eventually. here it is in case anyone needs it
Straight, just saying.
The boot.img is always in the rom....Most roms contain the stock boot.img. or check my backup collection and download the stock rom. It has the stock boot.img inside
Thanks a lot.
Hello.
I wanted to root my E986 but my usb-port doesnt work anymore. I'm on stock rom without Custom Recovery. Also i tried Kingroot and it worked. I installed GPro Kitkat Recovery via the recovery installer app.
It doesnt work.
So i extracted the recovery.img from the apk and flashed it via flashify. Now i stuck on fastboot mode if i want to reboot into recovery.
So i have an fastboot mode.
My question: can i boot into fastboot mode in stock rom with root and stock recovery? I tried it with many options but nothing helped me. :3
If your trying to boot to recovery there are plenty of apps like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot&hl=en in the playstore or this one that's no longer in the playstore
