im trying to flash godspeed recovery but im a newb so of course i dont know how. it says to flash from recovery and type whatever but it doesnt do anything. someone suggested using rom manager to flash it but that didnt work. how can i flash a new recovery? i have asked twice in the godspeed recovery thread but noone answered so i figured i'd try here. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Someone help, ima newb!!! Lol

Have you read through Darch's post on how to flash this recovery? Just click on the link in my sig for this particular thread. This is not directly flashable from the sd card. You need to flash it via adb
edit* You have read the thread, do you know how to flash via adb?

Based on your signature, I'm going to assume you are already rooted.
My first question is do you have the Android SDK installed on your computer? My Next question is have you already placed the recovery image on your SD Card (if you are using apps2sd you will want to place it on the FAT partition, but do not place it in any folders)
If you can answer yes two both question above, then go ahead conncect your phone to your computer with the cable and run the sdk in a command window or terminal window (depends on if you are using Windows or Linux) and type the following:
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/nameofrecovery.img (changing the "nameofrecovery.img" to the name of the image file on your sdcard)
If you run into any problems or if you don't know how to install the sdk post back and I will give you an alternative method to try.

Yes to everything. I tried typing that from recovery and while in the phone with usb debugging on and charge only. It just kept giving me errors.

Change from charge only to sync and it should work. Make sure ur in the sdk/tools folder and type adb remount before u type in the adb shell command

If you are still having trouble, you may want to just grab from the market a neat little program called Gscript (paid version) or Gscript Lite (adware) and create a script to flash the recovery image.
Once you install it on your phone the steps are:
Start GScript
Click on the phone's Menu Key and select Add Script
Give your script an easily identifiable name
Make sure there is a check mark in the Needs SU? box
then you can type in the command to flash recovery which would be:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/"nameofimagefile" (changing the name to whatever the name of the recovery image you stored on you sd card is)
then click on save.
The script should now appear in the list of availble scripts - just click it to run it. If SuperUser Permissions pops up requesting permission click on allow and you should see message at the bottom that the window will close in 19 seconds.
To verify if this worked for you go ahead and manually reboot into recovery mode - Power off the phone, then press and hold the home key while pressing and releasing the power button.
Let me know how you make out with this.

[MOD/GUIDE]This is HOW TO Remove HTC Lockscreen and Get Default Android one.

Hello Everyone,
This is Just a small and easy mod/guide for all those who want Default Android Lockscreen and like me hate the HTC slide down Lockscreen:
Usual Warning : I am not responsible if by doing the steps below ::
You brick your phone (Highly unlikely if you follow only given steps).
Your GF starts loving your phone and wants it.
Your GF gets pregnant. Its you who did it .. well hopefully
Let's not delete your lockscreen just keep it in case you want it back. yeah yeah i am all for safety just like my rom.
(Always be safe)
STEP BY STEP GUIDE​
Connect your phone and use ROM manager to reboot into recovery alternatively you can disconnect your phone reboot into recovery (vol down+power) and then connect your cable when you can see the green text.
Select partition menu or mount ** (dont remember the option its mount something something) depending on your recovery version and Mount system
Now i hope you know how to use adb. (Download and install android sdk)
Open command prompt (cd "path to android-sdk-windows/tools" without quotes) on my pc for example it is
Code:
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
If you're on LINUX i am sure you know what to do.next all instructions are same:for Windows and Linux
Run following commands
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.apk HtcLockScreen.bak
exit
Now you will get a nice transparent default android lockscreen.
In case you want your stock HTC lockscreen back do this
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
mv HtcLockScreen.bak HtcLockScreen.apk
exit
I have tried this with SUnAaBh ROM and it works flawlessly and ideally should work with every ROM including those not meant for HTC Wildfire.
The suggestion in the next post i.e post No.2 will cause your framework to change i.e your Theme and look of icons on notification bar, dropdown bar, battery icon etc SO to Preserve your framework just INSTALL THIS FILE..its same from attachment.
Hit Thanks if it helped.

This doesnt fix the Alarm clock bug that appears when removing the HTC lockscreen.
This does:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10192875&postcount=2
Using it on Wildpuzzle 0.1 with no problems.

Will using this work:
- If you set a alarm ( for waking up or something ), does it work then?
- If you start Angry Birds, to make it working I must power off my screen, go to lockscreen and unlock it. And then I could play. Does this work too with this lockscreen?
Thanks in advance!

I've tried this a minute ago! And it's really simple.
1. Download the android-sdk-windows folder and place it anywhere
2. start cmd.exe ( open it via start > cmd.exe )
2. Enter: cd: C:\whatever\whatever\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
3. enter: adb.exe
4. then enter the things from the first page ( the adb commands )
5. unmount system ( ! ) on phone
6. reboot phone.
And you got it! I really don't ever used adb! So it's really simple with instructions. Maybe you could include my instructions?

can somebody show screenshot with default screen lock and htc? because i dont understand know about what are you talking. I had one screen lock since i bought mob with 2.1 android and know i have other one with 2.2. / 2.3 android. I nothing changed, nothing deleted and i like it.

[Q] Help! LG PHOENIX....phone only goes into CWR

I recently purchased an LG Phoenix by At&t, the problem I have is that I cannot leave ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
I rooted it, restarted in recovery. and everything worked fine. I then upgraded my firmware, not sure what version though.. I backed up my phone before I upgraded into the new firmware. I then backedup my phone because it rebooted into recovery. Now everytime it boots it goes straight to Clockwork and I cant get out of it. I restored to my previous restore and it still doesn't work. What could I do? Should I install cwr 3? I read that cwr 5 has bugs and is known to brick phones..
Edit: Also the phone without the sd card still boots into clockworkmod menu
I have a ROM(Phoenix ULTIMATE) I'd like to flash but I'm not sure if I should right now considering I'm stuck at this menu.
Info- in my restores It says;
2011-10-04.21.37.48/
2011-10-04.21.56.13/
I'v tried both.
Another edit with potentially important info getting an error stating;
E: bad boot message "recovery"
Sorry If this is a n00b post.. I'm in sort of a rush because I'm moving in a few hours!
Edit; tried flashing the phoenix, didnt work.
installation was aborted
said i needed to switch to Edify scripting, and amend scripting is no longer supported.
What could I flash too to fix this, please help. I don't care if I lose data. Just need my phone back soon.
I have android SDK.
I was reading up on http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517874 here
Would I be-able to push somesort of boot file or firmware to my phone? Or something in that manner?
THIS:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Seems to be perfect for what I should try, where could I get the stock imgs for my phone? (p505)

I moved this here temporarily for you to be assisted...after that it will be moved beck to the right forum
Good luck!!

All you need now is platform-tools . The rest can be cancelled .
Use cmd (best if used with administrative rights) to navigate to the Android SDK folder , then to platform-tools .
Once you get there , connect your phone through USB then don't touch it .
In cmd , type:
abd shell
su
reboot bootloader

EDIT: GOTIT! got the dir, i typed adb and it says device not found should i connect my phone correct?
Edit: okay,i did that, it just rebooted my phone and it went back into the CWR.. :c wut now?

Are you able to try and boot into bootloader? Try that. Also, try and flash a new ROM in recovery, test to see if it may be the ROM. Don't be afraid to backup again, you can always access the backups based on date.
-How cruel is the golden rule, when the lives we live are all golden plated-

What's bootloader?
I tried to flash my backups before the firmware update and it didn't work, I also can't find any wp505 roms.. I found a few but they wont help in my situation. Do you know any? My rom is stock as I only rooted and got stuck in cwr.
Thanks!
EDIT: I did do that adb shell, reboot bootloader, didnt work.

First off, not to lecture you...but you definitely should look into these kind of things before flashing a ROM.
I haven't looked at the ROMs so I'm not sure. But whatever fancies you, it's just to troubleshoot the problem. The problem itself may actually be the recovery. Do you know how to do logcats in ADB? Try and do a logcat and boot up your device while connected to ADB.
So go "adb logcat". This should show you exactly what your device is doing. When it runs and goes straight to recovery paste all that information into a .txt document and upload it onto xda so others can take a look.
I'll try and help more tomorrow but I have to get some rest. Good luck on getting this fixed.

[Q] Tons of Trouble with ADB and Fastboot

I'm having a crapload of trouble with adb and fastboot. I've been searching for the last few hours but to no avail. I've downloaded multiple drivers and tried to do everything i can to setup the adb and fastboot. I managed to get the bootloader unlocked and its rooted and usb debugging is enabled. Every time i type "adb devices" into a command prompt it says that adb is not a valid command etc. What the heck am i doing wrong and why is this supposedly simple process so difficult here?? Please help...

Did you use the "cd" command to change the directory to where the platform-tools folder is?
That's assuming you have the Android SDK and Java Dev Kit (JDK) installed already..

Does that install the tools in the Windows equivalent of "$PATH" so users don't have to cd to the tools' location.
And do you mind if I link to this in my how-to guide? Credit will be given to you and your team of course.

Yep. U can do it I'm happy to share this tools with other users :good:
About the location, I set the installation path to C:\Windows so it means that it can be used as an windows services whenever u call it on cmd. No needs to set the location.
For example: If users use command "adb devices", it will work immediately and show the result. However when they want to decompile an apk and put file in a folder named "X", it's needed to use cd command to set the location in cmd to "X" then use adb/apktool/fastboot as normal without having adb/apktool/fastboot files in "X" folder. It helps to define the location of apk file, not the apktool/adb/fastboot.
Hope u can understand my idea =.= Sometimes, my explanation is really not good becoz English is not my mother language

That's what I thought it did. I was going to do something similar, but I couldn't remember if the correct folder was and I was just too lazy to do the research and find out. I was thinking System32, but its been so long that I couldn't remember.

Yes i did. I installed intel driver and that was working perfectly.. no yellow marks were shown in adb driver and anywhere, i checked thoroughly. And also when i pluged my usb, its showed the mgs. "Installed successfully with a green tick as it does in Windows 7.
There was no issue in driver installation or extraction of files. I extracted the files with same name on desktop and opened the cmd as said.. unfortunately there was error.
"Fastboot"is not recognized as an internal or external command.........."

Did you have the file fastboot.exe in the folder? If not you need to download minimal adb and move the zip file into that folder then open cmd in that folder and follow the command

Yeah., from asus site, to unlock bootloader need to update to 4.4,before this im 4.3 and rooted using fastboot method,,
After update to 4.4 I'd forgot to root first then I when and unlock bootloader using the app from asus site. Then now I tried to root using fastboot, the process stuck saying system update failed and cant get it rooted.
I wanted to install philz touch recovery that is why I unlock the bootloader. But now cant get it rooted.
