Monday i receive my IncS, as im making the switch from a iPhone.
So iv'e been reading in here to learn about Andorid and how to flash custom ROM.
However, I have a question after reading various strings in here, and I'm sorry if it's stupid one...
I will get S-OFF with a XT-Clips, so i can install a custom ROM.
But how about Recovery?
Is it enough to install madmaxx82 4EXTRecovery to be able to boot into Recovery by pressing Power and Vol down?
Or do i have to install RomManager also to be able to boot into Recovery, so i can flash .zip's?
And where is the Recovery image stored?
That's all for now ;-)
If you have a software version lower than 2.30.405,1, you can root and s-off without a xtc clip. You can install the 4EXTRecovery and get into recovery with power and vol down. I'd recommend installing clockworkmod so you can use rom manager with it. Rom manager also lets you boot into recovery,
Do you need to install clockworkmod for booting into Recovery and flash 4EXT Recovery?
Or can you boot into Recovery with a new phone and flash 4EXT?
I guess my question is, if you have a new phone, how do you boot into Recovery to flash madmaxx82 4EXT?
When i boot a new phone with power and vol down and choose Recovery, i get a a red triangle with an exclamation.

If you get a recovery image this is in a zip file, then you simply copy it to the root of your SD card and rename it PG32IMG.zip. Then the next time you boot into bootloader mode, it will find the PG32IMG.zip file and install it.
Then you can get into recovery.

Hi XDA, as title says, i cant get boot into recovery...
I have an HTC Dream (Spanish version of G1), and Im having problems with the recovery boot.
I have root done on the phone and i've tried to install a new recovery via Clockwork app, adb shell, also via Fastboot and via "RECOVERY FLASHER"...
All of them look to finish succesfully, but I still cant boot onto recovery.
Every time I try to boot on recovery, the phone gets hang on the company logo... until I get out the battery to turn it off.
I dont know what can I try more...
Any idea ?
Thanks
If you cannot boot into recovery by holding down Home and Power, then you're bricked, I believe. What were you trying to do?

I can boot normally, and I run apps that need root correctly, but I want to boot into recovery to flash a custom ROM...
Clockwork mod needs to reboot into recovery to reflash a Custom ROM, so I cant get another rom that way neither.
Any idea (again)?
Do you have terminal on your phone? Download amon RA recovery 1.7.0 for HTC Dream and use that instead Clockwork because it is most recommended. Rename it to recovery.img and move it to the root of your SD card.
Go to terminal on your phone and type:
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
Now try to boot into recovery mode.

If you have root access, then you can try to (re-)install your recovery image using adb.
Open a shell using the command
adb shell
and then from there you can try to flash the recovery image by entering
flash_image recovery recovery.img
where recovery.img is the name of the recovery image you want to install and it should be located in the current directory.
Edit: two people same ideas ... ;-)
Both things re-done...
Nuthin'
Anything else ?
Thanks for the answers anyway
Bump...
Any help ?
Fastboot is working for me, but I have the default SPL and I cant use "fastboot flash new_recovery.img" ---> Not allowed.
Theres a way to flash another SPL using phone terminal, or using fastboot ?
Thanks
I'm not sure, but if I was in the same boots as you, I would download the DREAIMG.nhb and flash that in fastboot. Once done, you'll be on Stock RC29. Yep, you're going to have to root again and re-install a custom recovery.
This is also safe to do since you're on HBOOT-0.95.000.

1. Get a teminal emulator from the market and reboot recovery. or
2. Get quick Boot from the market and install/use that to boot into recovery or
3. Power down the phone and push the trackball+power to boot into recovery
If none of those 3 options work for you, your recovery did not flash and you will need to either reflash it. (making sure fastboot sees your phone with fastboot devices)
Or you could download ROM manager from the market. Using that, you can install clockwork recovery from the app itself.

Have you looked at the 4EXT touch recovery thread in the Development section? If you are properly rooted, 4EXT touch recovery should be able to overwrite CWM without any issues.
Yeah i downloaded the 4EXTRecovery installer and chose the option to install the recovery. I got a message after sometime saying that the recovery had been successfully installed. But on rebooting it was still CWM.
Never mind. I just had to download the recovery.img and use fastboot to flash it manually.
I want to flash a CM11 into my tablet, so I unlocked bootloader.(Devise's Build Number: Version V10.26.1.18 )
------> I flashed a CWMrecovery 6.0.4.5 into it .
----- > I reboot to bootloader can't get into recovery, so i select a full wipe in bootloader.
------>Tablet stucked in boot screen. I can't flash anything into it, because i can't get into bootloader & recovery(Even use Vol - &Power Button).
How can i get into bootloader again?
Or recovery?
Or flash a Offical rom back into it without recovery?
Unfortunately wiping from the boot loader on a custom recovery can hard brick the device. 6.0.4.5 is very old, the latest cwm is 6.0.5.1.
Try flashing that from the boot loader.
But how can get into bootloader?
I have try press Vol Down & Power button, it didn't work,and my computer said “< waiting for device >“。
Is it possible to connect with PC once more?
Try the SD card stock update method
see if this works... this is the best method I have seen to recover the TF701T. Try the manual SD card update method by downloading the correct firmware for your device first from Asus. then see if there is a zip inside of a zip file if so unpack it once. Rename the zip file to T4_SDUPDATE.zip and put the zip firmware file on the root of the SD card and power on or restart your device. it should detect a firmware update. this is the procedure I used when I bought my tablet.
I updated my tablet to the latest stock firmware before I UNLOCKED and installed the latest CWM recovery. Then I booted into stock and shut down then did a full backup of stock, then I flashed custom ROM and latest SuperSU... if you find this helpful, please click the Thanks button below!

Sorry mate, the only way to get into the bootloader is with Power and Vol Down. If that does not work you cannot access fastboot, you cannot access recovery and the tablet is a brick. Only a new mainboard can revive it.
I am not sure, if bootloader located in SPI flash it is not very difficult to reprogram it with external programmer.
Hi All,
I tried to install CM12.1 on top of the Stock ROM:
1. I've downloaded an Official build and GApps and placed them on internal SD card.
2. Since I don't have any Custom Recovery, I've entered Fastboot and flashed a boot image from the build. It flashed fine. I came from SONY where recovery and boot were together on a same partition, so I thought it will give me a CM's recovery.
Now when trying to enter Recovery I'm getting a green robot with red triangle and "!" sign in it. When trying a Normal boot the phone will switch off in the middle of boot animation. Should I install TWRP now separately? Shoudl I fix boot.img somehow?
I can get to the fastboot mode again, but what should I do?
Any advice is much appreciated.
follow the below guide...
