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.

Flash new recovery to Wildfire the Easy Way

I found this after searching around for ages on a way to upgrade the recovery on my Wildfire/Buzz, all the friggin fastboot methods weren't working. This worked straight away, no errors, no problems.
Flash a New Recovery Image
1. Find the recovery image you want and MAKE SURE IT IS FOR YOUR PHONE (should say in where you download it what phone it is for)
2. Rename the filename of the recovery image EXACTLY as it is written to recovery.img
3. Put the recovery image file on the SD card (not in any folders)
4. Download Android Terminal Emulator from the Market (there are a few different terminals in the Market some have an onscreen keyboard and some don’t experiment till you get one, also hold down Menu in some of them to bring up the onscreen keyboard if you don’t see it)
5. Open the Terminal program and type the following (with hitting enter at the end of each line):
su (press enter)
(at this stage it will ask you for superuser permission to access your core system. Allow the access)
su (press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
6. Phone should pause for a second and then show you a new blank line. Turn it off and back on by holding down Home and Power to ensure it flashed correctly. Done.

Error
flash_image: not found
Sdcard is fat (not fat32). Any idea.

EDIT - Sorry, Wrong method, here's the correct one:
First, make sure you have the latest Android SDK, then:
Connect the device to your computer
Copy recovery.img to the root of your SD card
Open term on your computer and run: adb root adb remount
Flashing the custom recovery adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Reboot into recovery to make sure the process was successful.
Sec:

3xeno, your method is the same as yusuo's.
he directly use console on android to send command "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" after become root ("su")
pro: no need for PC, con: hard typing on the device
you ask adb to execute on the device the command "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img".
pro: single command with a real keyboard; con: need for PC and cable

fastboot works only with s-off,if you don t have s-off it will not work .-. (or if you don t have the right files)
anyway this metod didn t work for me
fastboot is the best and more simple than this,anyway is there a metod to flash recovery from the phone?

I know, but the method on the handset itself didn't work for him. Hence, just suggested the alternative of the same technique as in the OP

My phone has alpharevx s-off. I thought there was no need of pc and everything can be done from phone itself. But still it didn't work for me. Same error.
If there was a need of pc terminal, maybe the 1st post needs to be clear.

After a bit more reading, it seems "flash_image" must be present in /system/bin for it to work.

Yes. Now I can confirm that it works when there is "flash_image" (a file with no extension) is present in the path /system/bin/. Also the permissions of flash_image needs to be executable. Just flashed the recovery partition .
Download flash_image from the link given by 3xeno. The OP needs to be updated.

Root Dell Streak 7 HoneyComb

Hey guys, just got me a dell streak 7 with android 3.2. I really wanna root it, but I've read the instructions posted in the other threads & its just not making sense, can someone explain it easier? ON how to put the clockworkmod image on a sd card, etc...?
Thanks!

1. Download Fastboot+ADB.zip
2. UNzip the file and copy the whole folder to C:\
3. Assuming the name of the Field u unzipped is "Fastboot+ADB", rename thsi folder to ADB (I only rename the folder for simplicity when enter the path in command promt) also do some reading on how to install ADB
4. Now go to Start> Run. enter CMD in RUN
5. that should open a command prompt defaulted to C:\ Documents and Settings \XXXX (your could have different path XXXX here is additional path)
6. Now in Command prompt change directory to ADB folder (if u renamed folder in step 3) or Fastboot+ADB(if u didnt rename folder in step 3)
you initial path would be C:\ Documents and Settings \XXXX (your could have different path XXXX here is additional path)
now change directory C:\ Documents and Settings \CD C:\ADB \tools (if u renamed folder in step 3) and hit enter
now change directory C:\ Documents and Settings \CD C:\Fastboot+ADB\tools(if u didnt rename folder in step 3) and Hit enter
7. now your path would be C:\ADB \tools
8. C:\ADB \tools fastboot.exe (hit enter, that should give some commands that u can use with fastboot ).
9.Copy the File Clockwork mod 5.0.2.7 recovery.img(rename this to recovery.img) and superuser7.zipon to root directory of the internal Streak 7
10. now get your streak into Fastboot mode (look at Setting up fastboot for Windows -XDA wiki)
11. Connect your streak to computer and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (sample what it looks like i command prompt C:\ADB \tools fastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img) and hit enter
12. u should some messages on your streak something like writing recover.img(the process dosent take no longer than 1 min MAX)
13. now open the SDcarf slot cover and do reset pushing into the pinhole next to SD card reader. teh streak will be turned off and with thsi your device should be CMW enabled
Rooting:
1. assuming your device is turned off, get the device into recover mode (see wiki how to get streak into recovery) and select update from update.zip(user volume rocker to navigate up and won and power button to select )
2. then after quick 2 secs that should give additional options (cant recall options as I don't have my streak with me right now) select the option where it says like Internal memory and navigate to update.zip and select the file. process would run for quick min or so and now once u see the process has complete select option to reboot device and that's it u are done.
Move this to Generic section, should not be in DEV

Thanks for your help... It took me a bit... But it all worked out.. now to try some ICS...

HELP!!!! trying Install CWM on zv8

Ok so here it is almost day 2 trying to install CWM on zv8 after using "mt's easiest way to keep root thru zv8'. (Oh and by the way MT your the MAN). Now getting to zv8 was easy, But getting the recovery installed is another issue all together. First started with the AIO bat. file which installs cwm (kudos to MT and djrbliss). And it reads
"system cannot find the path specified'.
SO ok well apparently the computer isnt reading the phone found out the driver has issue shows the error message(on both my laptops).
ok lets try the terminal emulator with
brad6360 said:
1) Download the cwmrecovery.img to your SD. ( I downloaded MT's zip file and then extracted all with root explorer, but you only need the cwmrecovery.img file.)
2) Use root explorer to copy or move it to the /data/local/tmp directory (make sure permissions are set to r/w/exe).
3) Launch terminal emulator and type these commands:
su
mount -orw,remount /dev/block/system /system
mount -orw,remount /dev/block/data /data
dd if=/data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 bs=4096
rm /data/local/tmp/* 2>/dev/null
4) exit terminal emulator and then reboot.
You can then try the vol down+power button combo upon boot to enter CWM.
Good luck.

didn't work and I the local.prop file in the data folder.
Someone PLEASE HELP!!!
(not a noob or expert but I can read and follow directions lol)

Are you sure you still have root level access?
Does adb detect your phone at all?

Still have root access I used root explorer to add the local.prop.
Adb recognizes my phone it shows a serial number under adb devices
Is there a way I can flash cwm in adb?
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA

Use the newest aio from Mt. It worked for me. The simplest way is to flash the v7.tot then 'JUST' root, create the local.prop file, then ota to v8. Then continue on with Mt's aio to install cwm. Don't worry about having complete root access (cuz I didn't, but had cwm). Flashed broken out and haven't looked back.
--My REVO is Broken, tweaked, SC'd, and TB'd. Just awesome!

Thats where I'm stuck. I'm on zv8, using mt's easiest AIO to update from zv7. The AIO for cwm isn't installing nor through the terminal emulator. Any other suggestions?
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA

What happens when you go into recovery? Is it the stock recovery? Stock v8 didn't have the option to boot into recovery. Just a thought. When I did it I got a lot of errors, but it took.

and i am not a noob and have broken out an old revo with mt's help but this new one with pre loaded zv8...No luck yet
had to manually push

I'm glad that I'm not the only one having this issue

Can you use Root Explorer to check and make sure adb is pushing the image file to your phone? Look in this directory: /data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img
You could always do this manually using adb. Here's how.
1. Open the ZV8CWMRecovery folder on your PC.
2. Double click the 'Files' folder to go into that directory.
3. Highlight/select and copy the address of your current folder location on your PC. It will look something like this:
Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\Downloads\ZV8CWMRecovery\Files
4. Click Start>Run>type 'cmd' and hit enter/return to open your command prompt.
5. Type 'cd', hit your spacebar, then paste your address which you copied in step 3 into your command prompt, hit enter/return.
6. You should now be positioned in the folder containing the adb and CWMRecovery files.
7. Type the following to copy the CWMRecovery image to your phone:
Code:
adb devices
adb remount
adb push cwmrecovery.img /data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img
adb shell dd if=/data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 bs=4096
adb shell "rm /data/local/tmp/* 2>/dev/null"
adb shell rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
adb shell rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb reboot
Phone should reboot. Try and boot into CWMRecovery after it reboots.

idk if I'm not doing something right or wrong. I have usb debugging and internet connection, and I'm getting "remount failed: operation not permitted".

I had the same issue but following these instructions helped me, what finally helped me was typing a wrong command wich gave me a help menu with all the commands, the important one being "adb reboot [Recovery:Bootlaoder]"
adb reboot recovery did the trick, then wiped flashed broken out and sooo happy to be done with it.
after pushing CWM in command prompt of course

I'm also getting "remount failed: operation not permitted" when trying adb remount in the command prompt just as mrand1 apparently did.
I (perhaps noobishly) skipped that step and did adb push cwmrecovery.img /data/local/tmp/cwmrecovery.img but after trying the next step got cannot open for write: Permission denied.
I'm trying to get back to Broken Out 1.1 - when it first came out I successfully downgraded to zv7 by flashing the .tot and then doing the OTA update, but now when I try to do that I can't seem to get the OTA to start downloading. I flashed zv8 tot in order to test the latest root method (which works) I just can't get CWM on there now - I don't seem to have any recovery at all actually. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for posting this slimzim. This worked straight away for me, I'm installing Broken Out as I type! I'm actually a little glad this happened because now I'm a little more familiar with terminal emulator and what local.prop does. Never had to use it in the past. This is exactly the second phone I've ever rooted and am usually able to just use AIOs.
And of course, thanks to mtmichaelson for chatting with you about it and doing all the hard work in the first place!

If you've done all steps exactly it should work. I went through a ton of other "fixes" that didn't work, I believe the key here is when you use the terminal emulator directly on the phone to create local.prop. I was trying to create local.prop in every way but that, and until I did it directly on the phone did I have success.
Good luck!

local.prop missing
I used the Easy ZV8 All in One Rooting Tool, and have no sound at all like a couple of other users. One of the suggestions was to rename the local.prop file in the /data folder to local.prop.bak.
I assume this is the /data folder in the internal folder? When I did the steps for the all in one rooting tool (coming from rooted zv7), there is no local.prop file in my /data folder to rename, yet I still have no audio for ringtones, phone calls, etc. except for the boot up sound on the splash page.
Any ideas why my local.prop file isn't even there? I even tried copying the one from the mtmichelson zip file into there, still no avail. Thanks!

I have the same issue. I used the echo command in term emulator and the local.prop file was there. rebooted and the file is gone. I have root but cannot install cw recovery. I have tried AIO, adb, and terminal emulator but nothing makes it stick. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Noob TUT]ADB - The Easy Way. 5 Seconds. Portable :)

I saw a lot of threads asking for instructions on how to use ADB to reboot into recovery, Push/Pull Files, etc, etc.
Just follow this guide to set up ADB in 5 seconds WITHOUT THE ANDROID SDK.
This ADB setup is less than one MB and no need to download the entire useless (for us, anyway) Android SDK.
1. Extract the Mini ADB archive attached below to any folder.
2. Just use the RunME.bat file to open a console directly in the ADB folder, so you can get started directly without the cd command!
To reboot into recovery:
Extract, Open RunMe.bat, type adb reboot recovery.
That easy.
Just make sure to have LG Phone Drivers installed beforehand.

When you have bootloops:
Remove battery.
Re insert.
Connect phone to computer using USB.
Try to turn on phone, when bootanimation keeps looping,
run the runme.bat, type adb reboot recovery.
Done
And remember to press thanks

thanks ykumar00 :good:

You can use adb also to install applications from your pc. I keep copies of my apks on windows machine - sending via usb and installing from phone is a tedious task (mounting usb, copying file, unmounting, waiting for sdcard scanning, navigating to apk file, installing). Just type:
adb install -r name.apk
USB debugging should be on.
I've created a batch and registry entry so I just make right click on apk and choose "install to sd" or "install to phone"

That's just one thing adb can do! Apart from reebooting normally and recovery, You can push/pull files to/from any folder, you can take logcats, and on ics, you can use adb to even take phone backups!

Also, could you share the bat and registry file? Looks interesting.

Sure, I'll post it here in the evening (in 4 hours)

Yup it would be really very useful and if someone has something to share related to adb please do so... it would be really very usefull for all ob users.

I could add it to the OP. With credits of course....

Ok, here you go:
the scripts assume that adb.exe is extracted to e:\MiniADB\
download attachments and remove .txt extension from them.
put scripts install.bat and install_tel.bat to e:\MiniADB and run (double click and confirm in Vista/W7/W8 to run as administrator) apk_install.reg.
After that you will get two options in context menu for apk files:
Install in phone
Install in SD card
First option will install application in phone's memory, second in sd card. If application is already installed, it will be overwritten.
If you wish to put MiniADB somewhere else you have to:
modify install.bat and install_tel.bat and replace e:\MiniADB\ with your path
modify apk_install.reg and replace e:\\MiniADB\\ with your path but remember to make all \ doubled \\
Example:
if you want to put MiniADB into c:\Android\MiniADB then replace e:\\MiniADB\\ with c:\\Android\\MiniADB\\ in a .reg file
Those scripts are for Windows only. I'm not sure if it works for Windows NT/9x as registry file format was changed as I remember.
Edit:
USB debugging must be on in a phone to adb work properly. Phone must be connected to computer
Sorry for delay

When trying adb, I am having this problem.
