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.

Do you have the SDK or anything yet?
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.

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

Hey guys,
My situation is that I'm trying to get a working ICS rom working, but I get a black screen on bootup for both Virtuous Quattro and Ice Cold Sandwich. I've also tried different kernels, but the same thing happens.
What I did:
Reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery
Backup
Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Install zip from sd card > Choose zip > Picked my zip here > Confirm
The actual rom installs with no errors or anything... then when I try to reboot, I get the white screen with "htc" in green font, as normal, then it just goes to a black screen. The backlight is on, but the screen is black... softkeys are not lit, either. Like I said, I've reflashed multiple times to no avail. I've seen videos of people on YouTube flashing on IncS, but their devices go straight to the bootloader animation after the htc logo screen.
Anybody encountered this before or know how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Your phone must be rooted before this and also verify your downloaded zip file with checksum to make sure about proper download.
I actually encountered the same problem a few days ago. I realized it was because I flashed an incompatible Kernal zip file. So I reflashed the ROM and rebooted without flashing any kernals and it worked for me.
I have rooted, and have superuser access. I have also redownloaded and checked the md5 sums. I'll try to download it again and test...
I just redownloaded and rechecked the md5 sums, and I still get the black screen. I've also tried no kernel, and tiamat and still nothing :S

have u converted you filesystem to ext4?
btw, what rom was previous? stock one or custom?
and i recommend you to use 4ext recovery instead of CWM
I have to use CWM for now, since I don't have access to fastboot right now (i'll download it later), but how do I check if it's ext4 or not in CWM? And if its not, do you know how to make it ext4?
And i'm using CM7, not stock

if u have CM7 ur filesystem already converted )))
i think the reason of crashes on boots is old version of recovery. try to upgrade urs CWM or install the latest 4ext recovery
It's very easy to change CWm to 4ext: go to http://4ext.net/ and download 4EXT Recovery Updater, install it. With its help u will instal 4ext
Are you s-off?

i'm afraid s-on is the reason of ur problems
I completely agree s-on does matter always.
I have the same problem on Quattro.
If you are s on you have to flash via fastboot the boot.img inside the Rom.zip from your wanted rom after flashing Rom via recovery.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Indeed sniper is correct. However what I would do, get a rom working then look into becoming s-off. Its so much easier to mod your phone after.
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
Okay, thanks guys! I'll try it out later and see how it goes by flashing boot.img using fastboot.
Thanks guys, it works!
For people who come here looking for answers, basically just open the new ICS rom zip, extract boot.img, cd to that folder in cmd, and type:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and it should now boot properly.

I had a issue with something on my SD card after i wiped my SD and tried the re install it worked.
let me know if that helped.
Hey everybody,
I just got back my motorola milestone from my provider because it has the ghost hand issue.
Now my problem is the I flashed the GOT back and I tried the original Shols as well with vulnerable recovery and I have the following issue.
I press power and X together, the triangle comes up and when I choose install update.zip the installing is coming and it says install successful but I got the recovery menu back and not the open recovery.
Any ideas? I will re-flash the phone again as soon as I got home but still it's a strange and weird issue. I tried to use ClockWork mod as well, same thing happened.
Thanks in forward!

Not working....I get the verification failed error message, like I didn't flashed the vulnerable sbf.
SO I reflashed with the RTEU Shols and then the vulnerable flash the one that's working with the 90.78 bootloader
I tried to flash GOT, same error message, it feels like the RSD Tool is just simply wiping the phone but do not flash the OS on my phone.
I thought maybe that's the problem so I tried a different RTEU and that didn't even boot up my phone, so it's doing something...I try to reflash GOT again..if it is not gonna help me then I don't know what to do...I never had this issue before...Never...I'm not a noob, I used a lot of a different ROMs and finally I see we got 2nd boot working my phone doesn't reach the open recovery...loooolllll
HELP ME haha
Update: Tried it, didn't work...
It maybe the problem of that I have Windows 7 64bit on my laptop and it has some issues with RSD Lite before i re-installed the Windows...Force Flash and some other stuff...How can I check that I have GOT on my phone or the original shols? Should be somewhere at "About Phone" section.
Don't flash the OR with RSDLite!
Flashing installs it to the phone's internal memory.
Just copy&paste the 'OpenRecovery' folder and the 'update.zip' to the root of your sd-card.

I knew I should have backed up before I flashed anything else. Was about to but then bloody didn't for some daft reason!! TOOL!!
