Speed bump in Rooting process...

Hey guys, I am in the process of rooting my evo 4g using this method http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-on-hboot-2-18-with-s-off/ since I have 2.18 hboot version. I have unzipped all the files from RootEvo4GNew, and the file recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img does not have the .img extension on it when I unzip it to the correct folder, and when I try to flash that in the cmd prompt it says
unknown partition 'recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img
I am assuming it can't find the file because it doesn't have the extendion .img on it once extracted. Any ideas? The icon next to the file looks like a zip file and can't be opened by 7zip

See it looks like a winzip file instead of a image file

Ok so I uninstalled winzip and now just have 7zip and it now shows the file as an .img file but I am still getting the same error message when in the command prompt. What am I doing wrong? Here's another image to show you what I mean

I downloaded and followed instructions, isn't working for me. It looks like the phone doesn't see the file when in bootloader, not sure if I renamed it right.

Follow this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/show-or-hide-file-name-extensions to make sure the file extensions show correctly, and make sure you didn't dupe the extension.

Thanks for the advice, I think this may work as I did have one extension duped. Problem is when I run the recovery it says it's an older version than what I already have installed and asks if I want to restart the device. I also still can't get the phone to flashboot recovery recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img and it still says unrecognized partition in the command prompt. Is there a way to flash this from the sc card or anything else you can think of to try?

Are you trying to fastboot flash the recovery .img file to your phone? If so you need to use the command "fastboot flash recovery *insert file name here*" (without quotation marks or asterisks). The recovery img file has to be in your ADB tools folder, alstherwise, put the recovery PC36IMG.zip file in the root folder of your SD card, make sure it's named PC36IMG.zip with no extra .zip extension, and reboot your bootloader. Follow the on-screen prompts to update your recovery.

wow I am retarded, my problem the whole time was that I was typing this:
fastboot flash recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img
when I should have typed this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img
Thank you so much for the help, on to the next step and hopefully this works!

Ok, successfully rooted with s-off! I have read through all the guides, and am still a bit confused because most of them are from 2010 and 2011. I need to flash a rom that will work with metro-pcs. Can you guys help me with which steps I need to take? I tried to download metrodroid v4 but the download link isn't working. Will aall of the roms in this thread work with metro pcs or do I need a specific one? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2318070
Also, once I have a rom flashed, do I have to go in to a metro pcs store to get it activated (I do not currently have a metro pcs account or other metro phone) or can I get the esn activated online or by calling there 800 number?

[Q] LG Flashtool back to stock PROBLEMS!!!

I have used all drivers and two different tot files, and it works to reboot, then it fails when I try to get past the first welcome screen... Does it make a difference if the sim card is in or out???
It makes it to preactivation and set phone name, then a second or two later goes back into the reboot stage.
I made it to the settings screen and phone info, and all areas were UNKNOWN

I don't know what went wrong but since you don't have a reply I'll say this... I would start from scratch. Download the tot file AND dll again to a new place on your PC (like desktop). Run LG flash tool again and browse to those 2 files (flash tools likes to remember previous settings). Flash again and let us know the result. Sim card doesn't make a difference.
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/LS980/Stock_Firmware if you need it, always flashed reliably for me.

Did you get anywhere with this? Under status, is your IMEI listed as unknown? This seems like your efs partition might be messed up. Did you make a backup of it?

I just read elsewhere that if you used ioroot you may have a backup anyways. On the computer in ioroot. You may find a couple files called, modem st1, and modem st2.
Hopefully they will speak of it. Watch this thread..,.

Yeah but he has basically access to download mode and fastboot it seems. I haven't found a way to push files without at least recovery
Well, if he has access to stock recovery should be able to push files that way through ADB

I have a recovery I made using twrp saved to my pc, and I chose the option to backup my efs, so all of my info is on my pc in the backup file.
HOW can I use adb sideload or ADB to push it to my phone???

It will take a bit of reading but you will learn a lot!
Here's a guide with some commands, you just need to tailor it to your needs/paths, it says Samsung but all you need are the commands.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141817
If you have ioroot on your computer you have ADB. Plug in your phone in recovery mode and check device manager. It's probably under "unknown" as LG-LS980. You need to right-click and select "update driver", then manually select driver. From the list, you should be able to find something like Android composite ADB device. Select that one and it should then be recognized as ADB.
Hold Shift and right click on the ioroot folder and select "Open command window here", then in cmd type "adb devices". If all is good you will get a serial number as it detects your device. Once you got this you are ready to enter commands, check that guide for the right command to push the file to: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/
as stated by Autoprime here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451390
I hope that's enough info to get you going. You should type "adb shell" first in ADB so you have access to root.

Oh crap... I just re-read that. I don't think this will work if your backup is from TWRP. That needs to be restored from TWRP. Do you not have a backup from ioroot? That contains the img files you need.
---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 AM ----------
Ok, I found this...
"Even though all TWRP backup files carry the extension .win, they are either tar archives or filesystem images. System, data, cache and .android_secure are backed up as tar archives or gnu-zipped tar archives if compression is enabled. You can rename those .win files to .tar (.tar.gz if compressed) and extract them like a regular archive. Boot and recovery partitions are backed up as .img files using dd"
from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694617
I couldn't find out if TWRP backs up EFS to .tar or .img. Once you figure that out you should be able to rename them to modemst1.img and modemst1.img. I just verified on mine that the files are the same size, so I would guess they are actually img files and not compressed. They should be 3MB in size.
There's a lot more info in that thread by Autoprime that should help.

[TUTORIAL] Install ROM via sideload

I know most of you already know this, but it may help others because this is very usefull for installing kitkat.
It's a pain to copy an 1,2 GB ROM to internal storage, so sideloading (installing from PC) it's lot easier and faster.
So here's the trick.
Copy the zip you want to install in "adb" folder (archiev attached)
Reboot phone in recovery mode
Optional - do your wipes
If you have CMW
Go to install zip -> install zip from sideload
If you have TWRP
Go to advanced -> ADB sideload
connect the USB cable and run START.cmd
type "adb devices" to check if your phone is recognized and connected (skip if you know everything it's ok)
type "adb sideload kitkat.zip" (replace kitkat with zip's name)
Notes:
Ofc you need USB drivers

Ive tried that a couple times but always i get a "cannot read kitkat.zip" thing, any idea why?

Umm... Did you replace "kitkat.zip" with the actual name of your zip file (or rename your zip to "kitkat.zip")? I know it might be a very stupid question, but I can only read your post, not your mind...

First, there is no way for a rom to use ".rar" extension. After, error means that the file couldn't be read (missing or corrupted). Also you may try my method which doesn't need android SDK, so there is no complications with wrong paths or such.

Look at the screen I've attached. Are you sure your zip it's not the same have you checked it? I've highlighted the rom itself.

Ok then simply extract "VDT-V20..." from that archieve. That's the zip you have to install via sideload!

It looks to me that your screenshot is showing contents of a ZIP inside a RAR. What @roscatel means, you should extract the ZIP from the RAR that you downloaded -- it's actually an archive packed inside another archive. After that, flash the ZIP you just extracted using any method (sideload, or from recovery as usual). Do NOT rename RAR to ZIP -- it doesn't make sense, and will most definitely NOT work.

Offical update to Nougat for N920A step by step. Enjoy !!!!

OK. As i promise to some nice people here, then i get it so here it is.
ADB sideload only update S4CQB2-to-U4EQC6. 1.41 GB file seems to me like nougat update.
Nougat Update Here S4CQB2-to-U4EQC6
MD5 checksum : 903aa5c5f26f430133481c4a2cfcdb69
Thanks for ABD instruction @ColoMtn
Make sure you know how to ADB sideload. I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone.
Steps:
1. Backup everything of importance on your phone!!!
2. Now, make sure you have "show file extension" enabled in Windows, and file is ready for ADB as you download SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
3. Shutdown your phone
4. Enter recovery mode by pressing volume up, home and power button together
* A green Droid will appear on screen with the text Installing system update…
5. Using the Volume Button Navigate and the Power button to select ‘Apply Update from ADB’
6. Connect your phone via USB to your computer
7. Open a CMD prompt from your PC. Type cd
in my case: cd C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5
8. Navigate to the directory that contains the update ‘SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip’
*Note I had issue when the directory contained a space. Moving the update to a directory with no spaces resolved the issue.
Also moved the adb driver to the same directory 'C:\Users\Norbarb\Desktop\Note5'
9. Type adb devices. You should see 1 device listed
10.Type adb sideload SS-N920AUCS4CQB2-to-U4EQC6-UP.zip
11. This took around 25 minutes to complete
12. Phone will now be updated Nougat
EDIT: Please post mirrors if you can. Thanks
For who may need it this is S4CQA1 to U4QC6 update. File is around 1.5 GB and MD5 is 23d4d4c58330b618001e76fc468732d9

Congratulations! Hopefully 928a will have it soon

On what firmware currently are you? This update is only from baseband N920AUCS4CQB2. Also you may have corrupted recovery. To fix this you have to ODIN back to latest firmware and try again.
Anyway just in case i'm uploading raw file w/o .zip extension to another place.

if you can acces to recovery, the only thing you can do is adb sideload ...bin
with an original stock ROM for your fire phone
(.bin must be the extension of the file, that you can get from official amazon site)

If you have the device via adb (with adb devices command) you can do an adb sideload sure... so in your case I supose, the file is corrupted... better dont rename it... but, if you can connect via adb, you can sideload sure...

Try to sideload what version of fire os you had before MIUI upgrade. If you had fireos 4.6.6, sideload 4.6.6, if you had 3.6.5 sideload 3.6.5
