Is the "recovery.img" in the root of your sdcard?
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G

What do you mean by having it in the root of the sdcard? I download recovery.img from phone and i believe its in the file downloads on my sdcard. Sorry I'm newbie and still trying to wrap my head around all this high tech stuff.

Ok i put it on the root of the sdcard and it found it but did nothing and still won't boot in cwm.

Nevermind i've figured it out.

quick question

I currently am running an older version of jf's recovery image and would like to upgrade to Cm recovery 1.4.
I have looked through the fourms and can't find any help on installing a new recovery image over the old one. I was just wondering if I would have to install it like I did with the first one, downgrade my phone and all that or is there a way I can insatll it with out having to do all those steps over again.
Thanks for you help in advance
Ps. Didn't really know where to post this thread sorry if it is in the wrong area..
Hi,
This should really be in the Q&A section.
To answer your question, save the .img on to your SD card, do not rename it, go to your terminal emulator and type flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
As long as you did not rename the file, and you spell the commands right, then you should be golden.
QUESTION !!!!!!!!!! >>>> Q&A Section !!!
don't forget the su. also you will want to do reboot recovery so you can see your pretty new recovery image.
thanks
Thanks for all the help guys
ps
And I guess I brain farted not putting it in the Q&A section, my bad
still not working

I did what you said it it didn't work, it gave me the message, this was all done in terminal emulator.
"error writing recovery : Permission denied"
Is there something i have to do to allow this?
do the following in terminal emu
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
Put the recovery img on the root of your ad card
Installing the CyangenMod Recovery IMG
1. Open up the Terminal App on your phone
2. Type in su then press on "Always Allow"
3. Type in the following:
Code:
cd /sdcard
wget http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/cm-recovery-1.4.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img4. Done! Easy as Pie

yes please download the recovery image and put it on the sdcard, THEN download the recovery image AGAIN using the wget command and replace the first one. THEN use the flash_image command which requires su permissions WITHOUT getting those permissions first.
Sorry, in a bad mood today.

[Q] Recovery Flashing Error

After I got my nexus back from HTC for a faulty power button, my nexus has been rooted via a replaced motherboard. Now I have already root my phone and unlocked the bootloader, however when I try to flash the recovery image I get
sending 'recovery' (4074 KB)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image update error)
Also I can somehow access recovery, and it looks as it should. However when I try to backup my rom it says "Run 'nandroid-moblie.sh' via adb!" and similar things when I try any other the other options. Could someone please help with this?
How are you trying to flash it? Fastboot is the best foolproof way to do flash the recovery. I have never really seen that error before, what recovery are you trying to flash?
Your nandroid error is most likely because the sdcard thinks it's still mounted, or is mounted. Also, I don't know if this still happens but make sure you only do a backup, not backup +ext if you don't have an ext partition on the sdcard.
he's obviously using fastboot...
Did you make sure recovery.img had the right MD5 hashes as amon_ra posted?
I have check the MD5 checksums, and they match up. Also, i am using fastboot to flash, and I am trying to flash RA-nexus v2.0.0. Are you suggesting that I remount the sd card to get it to flash the recovery image?

I would suggest you try in command line with the adb commands as follows:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 775 /system/bin/flash_image
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
reboot recovery
You need flash_image for this, check the wiki for the file...don't forget to put the recovery in the root of the sdcard and rename it to recovery.img for convenience purpose

What do I do with flash_image? Also this device came back stock with frg 83, which I am trying to flash the recovery on. When I type in adb shell, I get "error: device not found" even though I can see it through "fastboot devices".

flash image has to be placed in the root of your sd card as well as the recovery!
As for the adb shell, try enabling USB Debugging in Setting > Applications > Development
Make sure you're rooted too (use SuperOneClick if you're not already)
I can get through that string of commands until
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
reboot recovery
Then it says "No such file or directory". I have already rooted, and both the flash_image and recovery file have been placed in the root directory of the sd card.
Well, after you did that string of commands, does the problem persist?
Also, do you have at least 400MB free on your SD card?
Well, I can't get
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
rm /system/recovery-from-boot.p
reboot recovery
to work as it responds with "No such file or directory". Even if I go through after the errors, the recovery still gives 'nandroid-moblie.sh' via adb!" and similar messages. Do I need to find a way to put the file install-recovery.sh in my sd card root directory if so, where can I get it? In addition when I try to flash recovery with nexus one superboot I get "(remote: signature verify fail)" even though the MD5 sum matches up.
Yes I have over 5 gbs on the sd card.
rm = remove
The steps you are trying to perform with the 2 rm command is to remove the 2 files that automatically rewrite your recovery.
If you reboot without succeeding in removing these files, the recovery image you just flashed will be written over by the stock recovery...
Since you have rebooted, and are still having the problem, you need to do the whole list of commands again... be careful how you type...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Danger, it seems as I can't remove those two files as I get the error message "rm failed for /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, No such file or directory". Any ways to successfully remove them?
Sounds like the files aren't actually there then, unless you're making a typing error...
Did your recovery update after the last attempt? Did it look different, what is the recovery version that is listed on the recovery screen?

I have been flashing different themed recoveries to see if any data transfers, and the background changes. But as before the actions all say "Run 'nandroid-moblie.sh' via adb!" or something similar.

if the rm doesn't work it's fine.
But what about your flashing command? It simply works or outputs an error too?
When u flashed themed ones, did the background change?
The background did change when I flashed the themed ones, however it still outputs errors like "Run 'nandroid-moblie.sh' via adb!" when i try to run any of the options under recovery. The fastboot flashing command gives this "writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image update error)" error.

When you try running a NAND backup or restore a previous NAND?
When restoring, the backup must be at the exact position where it was when you did it: /sdcard/nandroid/HT#####/BCD######
I was trying to backup my current image, and this happens with all other actions even the shut down action on the recovery page just with "Run 'reboot -p' via adb!"
lawl xD that seems useful...
well, that's extremely odd to be honest...uhm...I think you should try and contact amon_ra if possible...He knows the code of his recovery and might know what's wrong...
I really have no clue, sorry =\
PS: Have u tried clockworkmod recovery?
Alright I will try contacting amon_ra, and I will try clockwork tomorrow. I was going for amon_ra recovery to get Sense HD on it with sd partition. Thanks for the help though I learned more stuff about my phone.
EDIT: Wow, clockwork installed like a charm, and I didn't even have to do anything. I'm now a clockwork convert.

Once in recovery mount everything you can system , data , cache , everyrthing besides sd card
then go into command prompt and type adb shell make sure its working if you still have root it will show # if not it will show $ I believe no biggie as long as it picks up in shell.
then type : flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img
then type : flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard/recovery_orig.img
select reboot from the recovery. now it will reboot and it will format misc and it will reboot again.

ya, i'm stuck in the same situation. I either get a "error -1" or it says "usage: flash_image partition file.img"
does getting "usage: flash_image partition file.img" mean the file was successfully flashed?

You are missing the space between mmcblk3pX and /sdcard.
ok, thats what i thought. when i do it the other way i get the "failed with Error: -1" any ideas on that. also if i send it back to t-mobile under the warranty, they won't send it back as damaged since i had CMW installed o it will they?

IMG Reposted?
Hi Folks,
A couple of people have posted that the boot, recovery, and system image links respond with a "404 not found" error. This is still the case.
I recall reading somewhere else that the images may still live on the SD card on the device. If this is true does someone know where in the file structure they may be?
If not, does anyone know where to obtain the images?
Currently I'm in CWM reboot hades on my Dell Streak 7. Tried the Dell OTA update for Honeycomb...didn't know that was a BAD thing until it was too late.
I've tried flashing boot and recovery images from a backup I'd made earlier, but no luck, so thatruth's excellent guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1006829 doesn't help much...unless I can get the recovery and boot images.
So to reiterate:
I can get to CWM and clear the caches and flash a recovery.
I can communicate with the device via ADB and have flashed it with the backup images.
I can mount the internal SD card via CWM and my pc.
After flashing with the backup images, Fastboot still does not recognize that the device is connected, and the device does not apper to go through the 'format steps'.
Cheers,

Found 'lightly modified' roms (thank you DJ Steve!) for a T-Mobile streak on another XDA thread. Flashed using adb, and tadaaaa, it booted! sliiiight problem. Will not boot into recovery and no wireless.
Managed to install rom manager (AKA ClockWorkMod) via ADB but CWM wan't an internet connection to install the recovery rom. grrrrr.
One of the other modifications (aside from root) by DJ Steve is the installation of 'BusyBox', This actually seems to complicate things for me because I don't really know how to issue ADB commands from the BusyBox shell. I get a lot of 'invalid command' and the like... I was able to install CWM OUTSIDE the adb shell (adb install rommanager) but once I'm in the shell (adb shell)I don't know how to issue the proper commands.
What I want to do is either remove busybox, or use ADB inside busybox to flash the CWM recovery rom, then flash my backup roms. (and hopefully return to full functionality.)
Any suggestions on how to use ADB commands inside of busy box to flash a rom?
Can anyone upload the stock rom images? I need to flash back to stock :\

[Q] Cant flash ClockworkMod Recovery (cannot open for read: No such file or directory

When i type the dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096 to flash over the clockworkmod, into my command promt it says 'cannot open for read: No such file or directory' and i dont know what im doing wrong.
I mean everything else seemed to workout fine. i downloaded the recovery image it said to save it but it was already saved to my computer after i downloaded it so i dont know if this could be the problem.
Then i used the adb push recovery.img/data command to push the recovery image to my phone, i think this might be where i messed up. After i put in the command a long list of text pops up on the command prompt. It starts out showing 'Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26' then is followed by a long list of adb commands. Idk know if this is what its supposed to show.
Next i did the adb shell, su, dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096 command and that worked fine it said 2560+0 records out, 2560+0 records in 10485760 bites transfered in 0.413 secs and i actually found that file on my sdcard. So i think i did that right.
Next i tried to use the command 'dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096' and like i said earlier it just says 'cannot open for read: No such file or directory'
Lastly i tried the rm /data/recovery.img command and it said rm failed for /data/recovery.img, No such file or directory in the command prompt.
Im sorry i am new at this but i thought i followed the directions perfectly and any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.
First off, before someone else says it, you shouldn't start a new thread for something we already have a topic for. But anyways,
Sounds to me like recovery.img never got pushed to /data. Not sure if its a typo in your post but 'adb push recover.img/data' should be 'adb push recovery.img /data'. The space is important. On your phone use a root file explorer and go to your /data partition and see if recovery.img is there. You may need to either change permissions for /data or just put recovery.img on your sdcard and move it to /data with a root explorer.
Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk
Well im sorry im new to this kind of thing, i didnt want to make anyone mad i just wanted some help and i apologize if ive ticked somone off. How would i change the permissions for the data? And could you tell me how to use the root explorer to put the recovery image in the right place? Again i appreciate any help you can offer.
Is recover.img in the same folder as adb? Because the instructions assume your recovery.img is in the same folder you are working from. So if you have to cd to your adb folder to use adb then recovery.img should be in that folder as well. Look at your cmd window, whatever directory/ folder it says you are in that is where you should put recovery.img.
If you saw a bunch of commands it means the .img did not go through your command did not work. You dont have the recovery.img in /data either put the file on your sdcard and use a root explorer to move it to /data or try the adb push again, you most likely made a typo or something.
You would put recovery.img on your sdcard through your computer. Open root explorer and navigate to your sdcard, long press on the recovery.img select move, go to/ data on the root of the phone, not the one on either sdcard it MUST be /data not /mnt/sdcard/data or anything like that once there paste file to /data and finish up in adb shell.
Alright i copied the recovery image to the /data folder and finished up in command prompt and everything worked out like it was supposed to. what was i supposed to do next to put it into cwm recovery mode? I held power, volume down, 3d button but i just went into normal recovery mode. then i went to rom manager to try and put it into cwm recovery that way but it just rebooted my phone. And when i went back into the /data folder i couldnt find the recovery image there anymore and i did a search on my root explorer and couldnt find it anywhere.
Hold vol down + 3D + power when lg logo appears release power but keep vol down +3D held down until recovery pops up. If you still don't boot into cwm try flashing recovery.img again. Do NOT use rom manager at all to install cwm on this phone.
Well ive tried to take the recovery image from the sd card to the /data folder but when i run 'rm /data/recovery.img' on the command prompt then reboot my phone, i turn it off then try and put it in recovery mode but its just regular recovery mode not cwm recovery mode. And everytime i run the 'rm /data/recovery.img' when my phone boots back up the recovery image is no longer in the /data folder or anywhere. But if i dont run the 'rm /data/recovery.img' after moving the recovery image to the /data folder it stays in the folder. Is it supposed to dissapear from the /data folder?
And i tried putting the recovery image in the same folder as abd which is the platform tools folder then flash it over and i got the same message. (cannot open for read: No such file or directory.)
Im sorry for all the questions and I am thankful for your help. I feel like i cant be the only person having this problem, well i hope im not that would make me feel really stupid. Thanks.

rm is the command to remove. So yes, recovery.img is supposed to disappear after that command. Put it back on /data and run the whole process from the CWM thread again making sure you do every step. Sounds like you may have accidentally skipped a step.

How to unlock bootloader on D405 v20a?

Hi!
I haven't found aboot.zip for my device. LG D405 v20a. Help anyone? Rooted but need to unlock to install TWRP and custom ROM.
You must have full rooted device. Install terminal from play and open it.
Type: su
(grant superuser permission)
then type:
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/sdcard/aboot.bin
VERY careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your phone.
Then download Flashify and install latest version of TWRP.
Note: You must save aboot.bin file in root of your external sd card before execute command.

Did everything as you said. Took the twrp.img file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/development/recovery-twrp2-7-1-0lgl90w7xxshoxx-t2826150
After installed from flashify I go boot to recovery and then I get LG logo with white text Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify and black screen. Nothing happens then and I have to take my battery out and then put it in to reboot and it loads back to stock rom normally. What is wrong?

Hm if you work step by step it should be all right and that you can enter into recovery. Try again download aboot.bin and then do the same. Maybe the file is corrupted when you downloaded to disk.

OK I'll try again but what about this command? Is it the same or is it wrong?
su
dd if=/storage/sdcard/aboot.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot

Repeated all the steps, nothing. Same error. My su + code didn't work (couldn't find sdcard file) so I used yours again. Flashed again twrp image and rebooted to recovery through Flashify.

What about this code? With the use of Minimal ADB and fastboot
adb push aboot.bin /storage/external_SD/aboot.bin
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/storage/external_SD/stockaboot.bin
dd if=/storage/external_SD/aboot.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
EDIT: I GOT IT WORKING WITH THIS CODE THROUGH ADB CMD ON MY LAPTOP. THANK YOU FOR THE ABOOT FILE :angel: :highfive:
EDIT2: Had rooted Lollipop LG L90 D405 v20a for this to work.

I have D405n V20a, how can I unlock bootloader?
Worked for me! Thanks for the modified aboot.bin. I took the command from this Thread, and the aboot.bin from this current Thread. I executed the command over ADB shell after copying the aboot.bin to the sdcard, worked without any problems!

I did the same but my bootloader is still locked
Because the adb commands were executed fine I thought it worked and I tried to flash TWRP. Probably flashing was okay but no I cannot boot into recovery. I get an android lying on his back with an exclamation mark. And fastboot getvar all tells me the bootloader is not unlocked.
What can I do to repair my recovery and unlock the bootloader (v20a)?
Try it again. Remember: Even if you execute it over adb shell, you need to type "su" first. Afterwards you need to allow the root access of adb shell on your phone (if you have never used it before). You should get the "#" on adb shell now. Only now you are able to execute the copy of the aboot.bin. If it executes fine you should see something like "1 file copied" if I remember correctly.
