I'm not new to this root, recovery etc. Windows 8.1 , disabled device driver signature enforcement, adb installed as administrator, able to boot to bootloader by adb commands, fastboot devices shows device ID, but when fastboot flash recovery.img shows unable to load recovery.img ,but recovery image is in fastboot folder in C, what to do ?
I think when you renamed the file to recovery.img it added a double extention. So recovery.img.img rename it properly andere i think you are good to go.
Syntax is
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Thank you. I'm not rename with .img and I know fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, I think it's due to file pathway problem but after 1 day search I could not figure it out. In my old laptop with windows 7 I was not met with any problem but my new windows 8.1 laptop has this problem.

You are right, it is a problem of the path. May be you can keep the .img file in another location and type the full path of the file.

extract the .img from the radio/recovery ect you want to flash, put the phone in fastboot mode and connect it to your pc, copy the .img file to the tools folder inside your android sdk, open a command prompt and navigate to the same tools folder. then use the command (example for a radio) fastboot flash radio xxxxxx.img if its a standard update.zip though just flash it through recovery.
Thanks alot buddy!

Try and reboot your computer and phone. It sometimes gives an error. Rebooting can help.
i had reboot and try it again and again 1000 times!!
Try and redownload the recovery.img.
Can you give the commands you enter?

Probably you didnt put "recovery.img" into "c:\fastboot" folder. Copy "recovery.img" into "c:\fastboot" and rerun flash recovery command

You dont navigate the CMD prompt to the right place ... or you dont have installed android drivers.
Ive just rooted my one x. When i downloaded CWM my file was not called recovery.img. Are you sure youve downloaded the correct file. I had to type: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
Re-download it from: http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru.img
Stick that file in your fastboot folder and try again.
you obviously have the drivers installed as you unlocked the bootloader, so if the command is not working for you and you're typing recovery.img, is your .img file ACTUALLY CALLED 'recovery.img' you need to type the exact filename
from your screenshot you are typing literally 'recovery.img' yet I BET YOU THE FILE YOU DOWNLOADED IS NOT NAMED RECOVERY.IMG
OT: We really need a basic technical literacy test for people to pass before they flash lol
99% of these issues are fundamental errors like not even having the android usb driver installed, typing in the wrong .img name (because they copied and pasted a command without understanding what its really doing), not having the .img file in the same folder, rushing and doing fastboot flash boot recovery.img or something similar.
Also I wonder why the size of that recovery.img is 5797 KB when the right recovery is 5760 KB.
So I suggest to download again the recovery, maybe use the one from RichardTrip : http://xda.richardtrip.org/HTC/reco...kwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru_fixedadbusb.img

thank you all you .. Eventually the problem was the writing of keyboard Thanks again
Hi,
I want to have a custom Rom on my htc one x but I have problems with installing clockwork. After entering '' fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru'' I get an error: cannot 'load recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru'. I followed all the steps but everytime I get that. Anyone know what I should do to install it.

Easier to rename the img file to CWM
Place it in the folder that contains fastboot, adb etc within android sdk on your pc.
Put phone into fastboot usb
Open cmd on pc
CD C:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
(you need an unlocked bootloader obviously to do all of the above)

You have forgotten to use the extension .img in the filename.

I did try with extension .img I received same error
Are you using international one x with tegra 3 cpu? If so, try renaming the img file to something like cwm.img as chris suggests and try flashing. Phone must be in fastboot mode showing fastboot usb on the display. You can use fastboot devices command to make sure phone is recognized.

I changed filename to CWM.img and replaced it in the map platform-tools
This is the location: C:\Users\Hosseini\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
What should I type into the cmd now.
Many thnx

Bloody he'll,
Where have you installed android sdk to on your pc?
Default is to the root of C:/ (c:/android-sdk)
But some people choose to install within program files
-----
I'd recommend re-installing android sdk, because your location is just a big pain in the buttcheeks.
Basically, the first command after your phone is in fastboot usb is the location of this folder,
CD C:/location of platform-tools folder
The second command is
fastboot flash recovery imagename.img
(yes, you have to put img on the end)
---
If you chose to keep the location of your Android sdk, the first command must include the full path of your platform tools folder (which inside has your cwm img)
Your choice

I know that I have to temporarily fastboot boot into twrp. so when i type fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img it says there is no such file or directory! i tried it so many times. i want to root my phone. I easily unlocked the bootloader, but i cant boot into the twrp. the file clearly exists ... and yes, i opened the command prompt in the folder containing both the twrp.img and fastboot.exe. i'm perplexed.. and infuriated! this was supposed to be a easy process. i googled my issue. nothing to be found or that even makes sense. can someone help me? I would appreciate it so so so so much.

If they are in the same folder you don't need the path. Probably getting messed up with spaces or something on the path.
Rename the TWRP file to TWRP.img
Fastboot boot TWRP.img

If you are using Windows 10 even after u rename it try fastboot boot TWRP.img.img. For some reason u have to add extra IMG. I saw someone posted that somewhere after lots of screwing around. What worked for me anyways
Make sure your SDK is up-to-date and flashing TWRP RC1
I have the latest driver's installed.
I have tried multiple adb drivers and multiple windows 10 computers with no luck
I have downloaded latest firmware. I extracted it. I got the boot img. I loaded it on my phone.
I patched it with magisk.
When I open up cmd promo and type fastboot devices I'm given an id
But when I go to flash the boot img cmd says partion not there. Can someone please help?

I patched it with magisk. , This file need to be in adb folder .
Are you trying to adb sideliad or fastboot it?
Personally i would use the following command:
Fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img
This of course assumes a few things:
1) that you have put the phone in bootloader mode
2) that you are connected via usb cable to a pc
3) that the adb devices command shows your device
4) that you didn't rename the patched boot image file magisk created for you
5) that the fastboot, adb and patched magisk file are all in the same location and that you issued that command from that same location.
Not trying to ignore the topic of this thread, but shouldn't this be under discussions? It's currently under ROMs and Kernels and Development, which is reserved for new projects rather than questions about rooting..
