Im not quite sure how it works but stock ROMS are not rooted, wait till one of the modders posts the stock + root, and then flash over your current.

Flash the third file on this page, the one under root: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?p=67177#post67177

No, it will give you recovery back, and then you can flash the zip to root FRF85B from here:

And yes, fastboot would be through command/terminal on a computer.

Ok thanks a lot I will have to try it later I am at work right now and do not have access to a pf... but thanks again... so just to clarify... my phone is STILL ROOTED?? I just lost the recovery and have to reflash it via fastboot... once I do that I will just do a nandroid restore... and stop messing stuff up... lol... thanks again...

If you just flashed a factory FRF85B rom, then no, it's probably not rooted. You have to run the zip file that I linked to root it.

Ohh one more question... since I was not the one who rooted the phone to begin with I have never rooted or really done this before am I going to have to download and install the USB drivers theybtalk about in the q&a forum on rooting?? (For fastboot access)

You're going to need to use fastboot in order to flash the recovery via fastboot. When you turn your phone on, the first thing it shows, the multicolored X...just the picture, not the animated X, does it have an open lock icon below it?

That means your bootloader is unlocked. You just need to flash a recovery image, since you can't seem to boot to recovery, then run the rooter.

Ok... so I am just flashing the recovery and sorry again but do I need the USB drivers or that adb thing they talk about in the instructions or is that JUST FOR ROOTING.....

You need USB drivers to manipulate your phone via USB, more specifically, via ADB, which means Android Debugging Bridge. You'll be using a variation of that, a script called "fastboot" to flash a recovery image to your phone, from your computer, via USB. So yes, you will need to be able to connect to it via USB.

Can't boot into recovery!

I just rooted my Nexus 1 Froyo per instructions on theUnlockr.com. I installed ADB first, Then proceded to root. I then flashed a recovery rom: recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1-cyan.img. This was successful. I then booted phone into recovery mode. Selected recovery and the first couple times I received a black screen with an exclamation point in the middle of a triangle next to green android. I flashed recovery rom once again and this time it allowed me to enter. I made my backup image and even booted into recovery mode again�wiped phone clean and restored image. I thought I was golden! Later I tried to boot into recovery mode again and I received same problem as mentioned above. I tried again no luck. I even flashed recovery rom again and It still dose not work. Why could this be happening? I even went through the steps to root phone again (that went well). But still no recovery mode. I even tried another recovery rom: recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img. It did the same thing. Worked one time and then nothing! I need to fix this before I load custom Roms.

I was able to flash recovery via your instructions but phone STILL will not boot into recovery mode. I hold down the volume key and power.....all I get is triangle with droid net to it. Im going to try and Un-root my phone and start from scratch! Thanks for the help!
you are getting the triangle with the droid because the recovery did not flash correctly, try usung rom manager if for nothing else, just to install Amon/clockwork

Did you remove the two scripts like you were told? /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p

Cool thanks for the advice! I did try Rom Manager and used Amon/Clockwork recovery. After flashing the Recovery Image I booted into recovery from Rom Manger. No problem! BUT.....when I rebooted phone from recovery menu I again went in to Rom Manager and tried to Boot back in to recovery and I got the triangle with the Droid next to it. I pulled battery and started phone again. I flashed Amon/Clockwork recovery again from Rom Mang. and again I was able to successfully boot in to recovery. This pattern goes on and on. It seams that every-time I want to boot into recovery I need to flash Amon/clockwork image. Somewhere phone is not retaining the information. Everything looks to work just fine as long as I Flash before I go into recovery. I'm sure this is not the way it should work. Any ideas?

Khaytsus,
When was I told to remove the two scripts? Where did this come from? Please let me know what they are for and why removing them would help? Also, if I do need to remove these would it be done by using Root File Manager, finding file and selecting delete? Sorry if I sound new to this.....it's because I am! LOL. Thanks for any help you can provide!

It's documented in random places, of course the post below also has the same info. I don't know precisely what the two files do, but they apparently try to restore the recovery.
Trust me, it will fix the problem. Remove them, re-flash recovery.

So, I'm not the OP, but I am having trouble deleting the files despite the fact that they are both say "YES" in read and write in properties. I tried to reflash from ROM Manager and I keep getting an error there. Not sure what to do.
BTW, I'm using a Galaxy Nexus. Would love some help as this is all uncharted terrain for me.

If I understand, your problem is that you can't actually flash a custom recovery from ROM Manager ?

I can't flash from ROM Manager. Initially, I didn't want to purchase the download capability. So, first, I used the program tools and flashed from there. I got Clockwork Mod to work, but then when I restarted it and went into "recovery," I got nothing.
Now, I can't flash at all.
The galaxy nexus should have fastboot capabilities, this is the best and safest way to flash your recovery partition
Be sure to use the proper recovery image for your device
If you need help finding it or setting up fastboot let me know

I have only ever found a guide for a temporary flash. I would follow the instructions and then CWM wouldn't stick. =\
So here is the typical steps to follow
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
And that's it, were you using fastboot to just boot it? Were you doing another method? The more details you give the faster and more accurate your help will be

I used instructions from http://androidforums.com/internatio...root-samsung-galaxy-nexus.html#enter-recovery.
The ROM wouldn't "stick" and then the USB wasn't even recognized by the end of everything.
Start by booting into your bootloader and writing down everything word for word on that screen here. Next boot to recovery and write down what you see there. Even better upload pics of each. Again the more detailed you can be the more help you can get

Bootlooping after S-OFF, Root and Clockwork Recovery

Hi,
I have just performed the revone s-off on my phone, then rooted it using PaulOBrien's simple method then finally flashed clockwork recovery.
Everything seemed to work fine and my phone booted perfectly.
Now i have just come to reboot it and it after trying out clockwork recovery has just been non stop boot looping. I can get into recovery fine still but im not really sure how best to proceed with the least pain possible. Im quite happy on the stock rom so dont really want to start again on the phone with a new rom if i can avoid it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Does your phone happen to be a sprint version?
Not quite sure why you followed Paul's method as it is pretty redundant these days. All you have to do is flash the Superuser.zip from CWM for root access...
Can you still get into CWM? If so, flash this via adb sideload:
http://download.clockworkmod.com/superuser/superuser.zip

I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time. Regreting it now tho! :-/
Just tried the adb sideload and all flashed fine but still now working
Any more ideas?! Feeling stupid now!
So I'm assuming CWM recognised the adb sideload and flashed the ROM file and said success afterwards? Might be worth trying CM 10.1 instead of a ROM using Aroma (seeing as it's crap and keeps crashing)

Ah okay. I would then flash a custom recovery. You can access the bootloader correct? What method did you use to install the rom? Clean flash or wipe is when you erase all the phone's system files, leaving a blank slate for a new rom to be installed on, and should be done before installing a brand new rom to avoid any issues.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2568662
This is the link to the recovery image I used, it's the latest clockwordmod touch recovery. Very easy to flash as long as you have fast boot setup correctly. Once you have a working recovery you should be able to try a re-flash.

Was the recovery still stock or was a custom one flashed? Which process did you follow to root the phone? Since you can't access the recovery at the moment is suggesting it is stock. A failed rom install shouldn't corrupt recovery

I'm not sure, since you have tried to flash another rom, a factory reset might not solve the issue. Trying shouldn't brick the phone but I can't say for sure, sorry!

It may have been a bad download. There isn't really any reason for it to not work, although it does say on the page it "You need TRWP 2.6.3.3 custom recovery!"
Not to worry, you can flash it in no-time. Ok so just as before, just flash a new recovery (again) and use the latest image from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7/
This should allow you to install the rom as the developers intend. It is strange though, i've never encountered a rom where a specific recovery was needed.

I am not sure i am explaining this well either. I am rooted... S-OFF... I installed the custom .zip for firmware from themikmik forum (captin)... which was installed through HBOOT on an external SDCard. I then Installed the Stock rooted from From captin. All was good until the notification to update OTA popped up and accidentally installed. After the phone rebooted it will never get past the white HTC One screen. I can boot into my Custom recovery and that is all i can do.

Yeah give it a shot.
Also within twrp choose File Manager and navigate to your Internal sdcard and find the downloads folder and delete the OTA file.
Not 100% sure that will work but it's worth a shot.

Hmmm I don't know a lot about PhilZ but I'm pretty sure there is a file manager included somewhere

Yeah and i dont see anything about the OTA but i know some of the OTA modified the Firmware also. I just am lost at how to do anything out of recovery.

You cold try fastboot flashing the stock recovery and see if the OTA will continue

I personally never take the OTA.
All I know is you have to have a stockish rom and stock recovery for the OTA to flash

Shouldn't be a problem.
If the OTA installs just re-flash PhilZ afterwards

Recovery install help...

I'm rooted and on a custom rom on my Z1 but I've lost all recoverys since I installed it. I've tried using the TWRP app to install and Flashify but I just get a error saying " recovery partition not found " can anyone help me at all get TWRP or some recovery on my Z1?
I've no pc at the moment so I have to try get a recovery installed using just my phone.
Thx & I really hope someone can help I'm not liking the rom I'm on at all, rather stock rooted with xposed probably some kernel too.

Which rom do you use? Probably you should shut down your phone and then press simultaneously power and volume down. Up to when you hear the second vibrate, now you should only push volume down. Then your recovery should appear

Bootloader locked or unlocked??
Remeber the more info you give less question I have to ask.
Model, rom, bootloader, root status etc
Unlocked bud
Then flash kernel image from Rashr app. Choose any stock based kernel. I like ok kernel. In the zip extract the boot image and then flash it through Rashr app from playstore. There you go kernel and recovery.
IL try now stock kernel only yea?
