My first post but I've been lurking for years. Pretty good with search, etc.
If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. I've been working on this for 12 hours!
I updated to Cyanogen 4.1.999
I successfully installed the new radio and fastboot confirms 2.22.19.261
Here's where I made the mistake in the following directions:
I have CMRecovery Image 1.4
-Go to http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
-DL the 1.6 "recovery image" the file name is - signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip
-Then DL CyanogenMod-4.1.99
http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/expe....99-signed.zip
-put them both on your SD card
-Boot up into CM recovery image 1.4 by rebooting and holding the home button, do a wipe.
-update using any zip to that "recovery image" (signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip)
(it should auto reboot install radio then reboot again and load back up to the CMrecovery img screen)
I mistakenly rebooted normally instead of applying the update in the next step. This is when the black screen began.
-Then update any zip usig CyanogenMod-4.1.99 (update-cm-4.1.99-signed.zip)
-Then power on the phone
I am stuck at the black screen of death.
I can fastboot and I've fastbooted the pimp recovery and still can't access recovery. Just get the triangle.
So, during update after new radio I rebooted normally instead of updating with the final build update got a black screen and have no recovery.
I've tried fastboot flash recovery and fastboot update.
fastboot flash recovery is succesful
fastboot update or fastboot flashall give me the "archive does not contain android-info.text and android-product.text" errors.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
this should be posted in Q/A not development.

Sorry!
Mod please move. Thanks!
if you have access to fastboot, do a fastboot flash everything... from radio, system, and what not (forgetting something)
if that doesn't work... do a fastboot of the radio and boot and system, do everything.
basically do a fastboot of the normal dev 1.6 system....
its on htc's website.... gl dude

any ideas on the commands to flash them as flashall? HTC's site has them as separate files so I can only flash the "recovery" file.
I'm sorry to be somewhat of a noob with the actual codes. Could you be more specifc with which files to flash with which commands?
TIA!
Using the HTC website 1.6 "recovery" with fastboot update I get the following:
Error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
I can't figure out how to flash the radio or system files in any other way than update in fastboot.
Did you erase the recovery? When this happened to me, just installing CM 1.4 from fastboot did not work, I had to erase the recovery then install. Hope this helps.
Also remove your SD card while booting, as prior stuff in your ext3 partition can cause black screens during boot. If that fixes it, you need to reformat your ext3.
The triangle you see is the standard recovery, to access it you need to do alt-L?or alt-x cant remember. To fix you need to flash cm-recovery to do this reboot into the boot loader (power + camera) plug in usb and hit the back button you should see "fastboot" then run
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img
seehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523558
then install rom as normal
okay this happened to me as well. I just made sure that I wiped, then started allover again. i had to do it a couple of times but it worked. just make sure that you still have the files on your SD card.
Good Luck!!!!

Try from your computer: fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
recovery.img = your Amon Ra recovery file and it could be in under another name so rename it to recovery.img

try using a different USB port or cable.
I flashed a new ROM to the phone and rebooted. At reboot, when the first "android" screen comes up it gets stuck there.
If I reboot in to the recovery screen it will go there but I can't do ANYTHING! Can't scroll to a command, can't "Alt+" any command.
At the very bottom of the screen it says:
Build : RA-dream-v1.7.0
E:Error in CACHE:recovery/log
(No space left on device)
HELP?!? Did I finally manage to find a way to brick my phone?
I do not expect that you bricked your phone. What SPL do you have installed? If you have 1.33.2003 or 1.33.2005 installed, you have always he possiblity to go to fastboot mode and flash a new recovery.

I AM able to get it in to fastboot. I'm still a bit of a newbie though, so I'm not sure what SPL I have...? Possibly Danger? How do I flash a new recovery?

Oh! I see in fastboot that I do have 1.33.2005. So how do I flash a recovery? Thanks!
Nevermind, I Got it!! Thanks for the suggestion/help!
1.33.21005 is DangerSPL, so you have the possibility to use fastboot. There is a tutorial here in the forum to setup adb and fastboot. Unfortunately I do not have the link at the moment.
If you have setup your fastboot environment, you should be able to flash a new recovery with the following command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Send from my G1 with HTCClay's UNOFFICIAL Superfly 1.5 D/S ADS using XDA App
Excellent

I had the exact same issue and this worked from me...using Amon_RA's method:
"via fastboot :
* Requires engineerings SPL!
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your G1 into fastboot mode (boot while holding BACK)
Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your device)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img
"
I just saved recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to the "tools" folder of the android-sdk and ran cmd from there (Hold shift + Right-click in win7).
Rebooted holding home and I was in RA-dream-v1.7.0 without the error.
Click the recovery image link in my sig for more info.
Thanks!!
To all of you that have suggested things, I figured it out thanks to your suggestions!! I appreciate all of your help on this issue!!
I am trying to burn stock ROM images on my Nexus One. I am trying to follow instructions in this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850 but can't get fastboot to flash my ROM with the images nor erase the userdata partition.
When trying
-> fastboot erase userdata
I get "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" message and when trying
-> fastboot flash userimage.img
I get "sending 'userdata' (837 KB)..." but nothing happens even after 10 minutes... This is the same when trying to flash system and boot partition as well.
I can see my device and reboot it using
-> fastboot devices
-> fastboot reboot-bootloader
My HBOOT version is 0.33.0012 and I have this S-ON (can't quite figure out what this means)...
Any ideas?
When in the bootloader does it say HBOOT below the green text or FASTBOOT? You will first need to navigate to the fastboot entry (I think that's what it's called) and press the power button. Your commands should then work.

It says FASTBOOT USB. I can see the device and do a reboot using the fastboot tool in my PC - only the erase and flash commands don't seem to work.

Hmmm that's weird, I only got those errors when it said HBOOT. An alternative is to flash the phone using PASSIMG.zip. It will wipe the partitions you are attempting to; userdata, system, boot etc using a completely stock rom and is done via the fastboot menu.
Edit: This is assuming you have an unlocked bootloader?
Did you run 'fastboot oem unlock' first?

I am pretty sure my phone is unlocked as I see this open lock icon whenever I reboot it.

Is there a tutorial or something on how to do this (the PASSIMG.zip thing) ? I don't wanna mess things up...

There was but I can't put my finger on it at the moment. However I used this exact method a couple of days ago so it's still fresh:
1) Download FRG33 image format from here. Versions above this as far as I know cannot use the PASSIMG.zip method.
2) Rename to PASSIMG.zip and place in the root of the sd card
3) Reboot/boot to bootloader
4) At this point the phone will recognise the zip file and check its contents.
5) When prompted press the volume button to confirm.
This will return you to stock (Minus the recovery but from the sounds of it you don't have a custom recovery image).
You have to extract the FRG33 file and then rename the new file passimg.zip
OK thanks - the PASSIMG.zip thing did the trick. Now I'm running FRG33 stock. Any tips on how I get from here as quickly as possible to Gingerbread?

Using fastboot, flash the custom recovery of your choice. Using that recovery, flash the custom GB ROM of your choice.
Hello everybody,
I was trying to reinstall the factory image on my Nexus 6 with a script and everything went wrong. Now when I reboot in recovery I have a menu (restart bootloader, recovery.....) but I can't see with my phone on my computer (ubuntu). I tried every mode on the phone menu : bootloader, recovery, factory mode, bar codes, bptools....but the phone doesn't mount on the computer.
So I'm not able to do anything on it. Any clues ?
Thanks.
Martin
Well, I made some progress. I found this and the command ''adb sideload''. But now, I'm stuck with ''you need adb 1.0.32 or newer'' to install a recovery on my Nexus.
Can't find an easy way to install a ''newer'' adb tools on my Ubuntu...
Now, i managed to update the adb version to 1.0.32. But I got the message when I ''adb sideload'' twrp-2.8.7.1-shamu.img:
E:footer is wrong
E:Signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Didn't have time to work on this for a while but still no anwser from anyone. Does someone know another forum where I could try to find any clues?

your answer..
thats not your recovery that youre booting into, thats your bootloader. and the only thing that works in the bootloader is fastboot. adb does not work in the bootloader. and you need to use fastboot to flash a factory image, not adb.
Ok, thanks. I just figure that out couple of minutes ago. I'm almost there. I was able to install TWRP on my Nexus 6. The problem now is when i tried to install ''image-shamu-mmb29q.zip'' with TWRP, it failed even if I wipe the cache and Dalvik cache before. And I don't know why.
It's says ''Error flashing zip
Ok, I have done it. Find that web page to help me: http://9to5google.com/2015/10/05/ho...nexus-5-nexus-6-nexus-7-nexus-9-nexus-player/
I thought I had to install the zip file with TWRP. The right action was that:
First, flash the bootloader and the radio, and then reboot the bootloader (radio only applies to some devices):
fastboot flash bootloader <bootloader file name here>.img fastboot flash radio <radio file name here>.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Flash the recovery, boot, system, and vendor images (vendor only applies to some devices):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img fastboot flash boot boot.img fastboot flash system system.img fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
Recommended: For a full wipe, flash cache and userdata as well (userdata only applies to some devices):
fastboot flash cache cache.img fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Reboot your device:
fastboot reboot
Thanks. I'm done.

Ok you installed this cm recovery with twrp?
android is not booting. (v21)
the cm recovery does boot but not allow install anything.
And fastboot is loading.
probably need to fastboot flash boot.img , I will share a superSU patched version. (you do not need to root system if not wanted, but patched boot is needed to boot a moddified system)
and fastboot flash twrp.
download this zip.
extract files to your desktop
use these fastboot commands to test first
This one to boot the phone
Code:
fastboot boot %userprofile%\Desktop\su-boot.img
This one to boot twrp
Code:
fastboot boot %userprofile%\Desktop\twrp_p6601_7.1_recovery.img

I am not aware of any zip file available to flash the way that guide had you try.
As it stands you wiped boot and system.
I am away from PC so typing is not as easy. I will be more detailed when I return.
Basically I suggest you to "flash" the boot.img I sent.
Then "boot" the recovery.
If the recovery then boots. Install a rom from my modifes stock roms thread.
oki i try install recovery but it same thing it go to white screen and restart again and again
i will wait for you to help me more thanks ><

So this is what i suggest
use the files i gave before, unzipped to desktop.
This one to Flash boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot %userprofile%\Desktop\su-boot.img
This one to boot twrp.img
Code:
fastboot boot %userprofile%\Desktop\twrp_p6601_7.1_recovery.img
I expect that to give you a working twrp environment. Then go to linked thread and install really any version you want. But as you said you were on V21, so pick that one I supose.
