I have a S7 that is an X rev and it only has one camera on it and it has a different ID than the current streak 7s, so I can't apply the update that tmobile put out.
So I rooted the S7 and ran ROM MANAGER and it insists that the clockworkmod is installed correctly, but I can't reboot into recovery from that program (I don't think it works on s7 anyway) nor can I do it with the volume+ and power. (All that does is to boot into android)
The fastboot seems to work fine, so is there a way that I can push one of the .ZIP file ROMs using fastboot? I was thinking the "Dell Streak 2.2.2 update with FULL ROOT" would be a good one to try, but there are many .img files in the zip file and when I try fastboot update, I get the following errors:
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
I know that the following lines will work, but there isn't a system.img in the .zip file.
$fastboot flash boot boot.img
$fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
$fastboot flash system system.img
Thanks
Maj
You cant use regular fastboot commands its something like "fastboot -l 0413e blah blah search my threads for "how to flash stock img. " at the bottom of first post you will see fastboot help link

Hey thatruth I've never used fastboot -iowhatever. All my fastboot cmds are fastboot (cmd) (dir) (file). Op so when holding +volume and power it doesn't put you in the bootloader? Your device may not work with cwr. Being a X device. And op are you using ubuntu/linux?
Sent from a signal
to get into cwr you have to hold vol and power. Then at the android menu select option 2 update.pkg. it will then boot into recovery
you can also reboot into recovery via adb
adb reboot recovery

I have not found a way to get into recovery. Using adb, fastboot, reboot into recovery options, and attempting vol+ and power, just boots straight into android. It says "cold-booting linux" and boots into android. It seems as if there isn't a real partition to do that, so I somehow need to dump an image onto the s7 so that it will have all of these partitions.
I have a Droid Incredible in which I've hacked to death, so I know how to get into the other menus, they just don't appear to be there or accessible for some reason.

Yah, the +volume and power just boots the phone right into android. ROM Manager tells me that my rooted s7 installs cwr just fine. (in fact I've tried every different version it offers) I use w7 x64.

Assuming that's the same cwm that I got in the streaksmart forum, yah. I flashed that using fastboot as the recovery and then issued the reboot into recovery command and it just booted up android.
At this point, I am assuming the build/version I have isn't a standard build and I will have to do something outside the normal channels to get it to work. I might just chuck this and get another. Especially since I heard that there will be a compatible version of honeycomb for devices with less than stellar resolutions like the s7.
I think the key here is to unplug usb from computer and hold down the power and Vol+ button to reboot into recovery mode.
I struggled with this for probably half a day figuring that out.
thx for your help and I finally figured out the fastboot and then recovery.img. So then I rebooted and seleted the software upgrade via update and it been stuck on that selection for awhile. is that normal?
by the way upper left hand it has in white lettering Booting recovery kernel image.

It should say Booting recovery kernel image and then take you straight into clock work recovery...
Mines doing the same thing just getting stuck when it says Booting recovery kernel image and the dell logo apears then when i press the power button it turns off if i boot the device up not plugged into my computer and hold the power and volume+ it will flash red the LED and turn off.
Resolved Yet???
I'm having the same issue... CWM says it's working fine but when I try to load ROM it reboots normally back into the menu... Red lights blinking and does nothing when trying to get into recovery mode. Fastboot is only thing that seems to work and that even doesn't work properly...
I'm stuck with a ROM that is constantly crashing. Every 10 min or so, it needs to go. Please anyone that may have a method I could try would be appricitated...

Okay so i unlocked my bootloader, that went well (as if thats hard)
and then i used Modacos superboot to root, it rooted (except for some reason the super user application opens to just a black screen). After that i continued to flash the recovery so that i can flash Cyanogen. When i try to flash the recovery i keep on getting the error 'cannot load'. i've tried like 4 different recovery roms. Not sure what im doing wrong
Oh and this has been tried on 2 different computers. One win7 and one XP. both gave the same output

what commands are you using to flash Amon_RA's recovery image? i also assume you're at the white bootloader screen when trying to flash Amon_RA's recovery image. also, to confirm root access, download the N1 Torch app and if it works, you're rooted.
Yes the screen is white. And i am using "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0-cyan.img"
Cannot load what - fastboot or the ROM .img file? Do you have fastboot-windows.exe in the same directory as the rom image?-(not necessary if fastboot command works for you)
Type fastboot devices to double check your link between pc and phone. If not check usb cable & drivers.
Make sure ur unlock is right before flashing Amon. If you've rooted then you should see an unlocked-lock image (the the google Xscreen) while booting, or the N1 torch app method as mentioned above.

Make sure you got to that white screen by pressing the trackball and not the volume rocker.
I renamed the recovery image to "recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img"
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img
Make sure you check
Code:
fastboot devices
and get your device number and also make sure you put it in the tools folder of the Android SDK
Make these steps
Boot ur phone into bootloader
1 Rename the img to recovery.img
2 Place the file in ur toolfolder where u have ur fastboot
3 Rightclik on toolfolder+Shift choose open cmd here
4 write fastboot devices to be shure u are connected
5 then write fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
hi,I have the problem too.I try many times but still stuck TRIANGLE WITH !.when I do recovery image

Finally got Amon_Ra's recovery to install
I started with a stock N1 with froyo
had a few stumbles along the way and lots of searching...lots and lots lol
using the how-to on the cyanogen page I went to the letter as ive never used ADB
So I installed the Latest Android SDK to get the ADB and Fastboot.
verified connection with "adb devices" command and so on
when I tried to flash amons the first time I got an error saying it couldn't open the file.
I checked to see if i had Super user with the LED flashlight app and I did not so I downloaded Super boot and it worked like a charm
tried again and got the same cannot open error.
I renamed the recovery image back to the original file name and triple checked everything else which didnt help.
at this point it was late and i was exhausted so my memory is fuzzy
but i had a few more issues and finally I installed the clock work app and installed clockwork recovery i then used that to flash amons because that is what i was familiar with from my G1 days.
I do remember I had to go into fast boot and select clear storage. I think thats what caused my N1 to hang on reboot after the ROM was flashed.
But It may have even been what caused my issues with the recovery image.
Hello dear guru's =)
I have an HTC One international. Today i try to get root access and install custom recovery, whent i flash recovery i missed that chose a boot partition to install it. Now phone boots only into recovery, and from my PC, adb or fastboot don see it, but in usb devices its present.
Im on linux Ubuntu 13.04.
In phone dont have any backup.

When i chose from CWM recovery menu "Reboot recovery", phone boot into download mode, and thats all. Fastboot or adb dont see it.
But. In usb device list:
In download mode:
Bus 002 Device 061: ID 0bb4:0ff9 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.) Desire / Desire HD / Hero / Thunderbolt (Charge Mode)
In recovery mode:
Bus 002 Device 063: ID 0bb4:0f91 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.)
Assuming you didn't corrupt your boot loader you should be able to get at the boot loader and use fastboot to flash a new recovery.
Power the device off
Hold power and volume down, the phone should turn on and load into the boot loader.
From there you can select fastboot (navigate menu with volumn buttons, power button to select fastboot).
You can use this command to flash a recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you can enter bootloader,you may try formatting partitions from fastboot,and flashing them afterwards,that is if bootloader is unlocked.
You can also lock your bootloader and try installing RUU,it will put your phone back to stock,
P.S. - I'm new to this,so please consult with more experienced members,before doing anything

adb or fastboot is not recognize my phone. In cwm recovery i have only reboot option or reboot into recovery. I have the same situation as tha developer in other post.

"screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds" -> that's stock recovery
Before, when you are in bootloader (image attached), are you able to "fastboot devices" and it shows up? because the bootloader is not affected by the recovery.
basically "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" put the custom recovery where the kernel is supposed to be.
First thing you need to get/confirm working is bootloader/fastboot.

In cwm adb will work.
So i think you have some issue with drivers.
And, however, if you turn off the phone, you can't access in bootloader with a longpress of power and vol-?
Hey, so I'm the one who had this same situation. What I had to do from what I recall is go to CWM screen, cleared the cache, even in advanced the davlik cache, then I believe (and you might have to try different combinations of this, because I don't 100% remember as I had before tried so many different ways) I unmounted the system mount, then went to reboot from the first screen to get to the bootloader (hold power button and volume down). After this, I clicked on Fastboot and it then went to Fastboot USB. This is where you should be able to connect. Don't leave this screen until you flash the recovery in the right place and then properly install the ROM. Let me know if you get to at least connecting and I can even send over an image for your boot, so you can at least get your phone back.
It can be done, I had the same situation so your phone is not bricked. Just keep working at it.

Hello, I wanted to install TWRP and ROOT my phone. I flashed TWRP using adb terminal. But when I tried to boot into TWRP it was stuck on "Your device is booting now..". Then if I held the power button for few secs it rebooted normally. So I tried to google it and I found adb command that reboots to recovery
Code:
adb reboot recovery
. When I executed the command it rebooted to the "Your device is booting now.." screen and it stays like this forever. No button combination works to reboot the phone if i hold power button it reboots shows honor logo and then shows the "Your device is booting now.." screen. I waited for the battery to drain and then i put the phone on charger and when I tried to boot it, it was the same. Now when I try to reboot the phone it shows ultra low baterry symbol and then boots to "Your device..." screen.

Did you try all method to going in fastboot.by adb fastboot command or by pressing vol- and power button?
Hi guys, thanks for your replies.
I somehow managed to boot to fastboot after waiting for the battery to go out completely. From there I used the following commands in ADB from the extract of a stock update.img :
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
And it worked ! The first boot was veeery long and now it's normal again.
Now my last concern is that I still have bootloader unlocked. As I wish to come back to factory state and avoid the warning message on boot, do you guys think it's safe to re-lock bootloader ?
I'm kind of scared to try anything else and screw the whole thing now
Thanks again for your support

Now you have firmware zip, extract it amd you will get few files. Use dload method as given in my signature and you are good to go.
Else use Huawei extractor and browse to update.app you just got in above downloaded zip. You will get boot, recovery, system img you need.
I downloaded some firmware versions and extracted them. I don't know which is for my device. So I tried one of them. I flashed boot.img and recovery.img but I din't flashed the system.img, becouse it was too big. When I tried to reboot the phone it was the same. The fastboot was no longer accessible. I put the phone into servis but they didn't fixed it. it's the same but I can enter erecovery

So i accidentally flashed a magisk zip file to my p20 using a program called "TOOL ALL IN ONE" AS a recovery it showed that the process was completed but when i wanted to boot to fastboot it just shows that my phone is booting, same thing with recovery mod.
so basically i need a software that can let me install any recovery or repair my fastboot status as I am no longer capable of doing anything.
have you tried flashing it in ADB? i mean most of these tools are nice but when you type in the commands in adb to get things done then you will understand more and more about how everything works.

Did you solve this? I'm on the same situation. no recovery no fastboot!
Turn off your phone then press and hold power down button and don't press or hold nothing more. Hold power down and at same time connect your phone by USB to pc. Whoa, you are in a bootloader. It helped for me. Then you can reflash recovery and all will work again.
Hi,
Sequence of steps:
1. Extracted the boot.img from payload.bin and flashed it to the phone. At this point I was able to get into Fastboot
2. While in Fastboot I went into advanced and wiped the "System Settings", and that's when the trouble started - now the phone is stuck into a boot loop forever, I do however get the options to "Power Off" and "Restart"
3. But none of the options above in Step 2 is able to bring me back to Fastboot (and hence into fastbootd either)
Question: How can I get the phone into Fastboot Mode - have tried MSM Tool v4 as well, but that doesn't even recognize the phone
Edit - This seems to have been resolved now, think I had to press Vol Down + Power instead of Vol Up + Power
Was able to enter into Fastbootd as well, will try to proceed with unbricking the phone with a fresh mind tomorrow
FYI for others reading I was able to install magisk by booting the patched file (dump the payload using the python script mentioned above). Running the command Fastboot boot filename boots into the operating system and then magisk can be installed using the direct method.
I assume running this command the phone doesn't actually flash the boot image but could be wrong

Thats right, "fastboot boot <file_name>" loads temporarily your custom recovery of choice. After rebooting your phone, the custome recovery is gone.
Otherwise, the command "fastboot flash <file_name> recovery" flashs permamently your custom recovery of choice to your device.
Hi I have a oneplus 8t and I tried flashing a payload.bin file using fastboot enhanced. after the operation completed I tried to reboot but the phone only shows the logo and then the bootloader unlocked warning message and then turns off briefly, then it does it again and the screen goes black. When connected to the PC, the PC recognizes the devices as android adb recovery devices but i can't do anything from there. Tried the volume up+power combo and it just does the same thing. tried the volume down+power combo and absolutely nothing happens. If i could at least get to the bootloader I could unbrick it but I just can't get there. Any advice

I have exactly the same issue, on a nord 2
How about vol+/vol-&power all together? When stuck that gives me some screen that allows start, recovery (the one where you can enter advanced settings I expect from your description) and bootloader booting.
