No, I don't have much time. just use the search function, you'll find sth First install a ROM of your choice. The boot.img is in the .zip of the ROM. Search down a guide and flash it via adb.

My phone died at recovery mode. I cannot use flash from zip card. Argh, I may come back to ugly-htc-sense. (

Do you know that you need to hold down power + volume down to access recovery? (must be done exactly after you power on your phone; b4 HTC logo)

Yes, I hold the volume down and power key, and then the boot launcher appears, then I select recovery and stuck at HTC logo (

Try flashing a new recovery image, then once you flash a new rom, boot into fastboot and flash the boot.IMG inside the Rom

but still stuck at htc logo argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

could someone give me new recovery file? the one in the follow post has died. (

Just install the 4ext recovery app flash the recovery from there

What did you flash CWM with? Try using rom manager and it will do it all for u

Make sure you arent trying to flash the wrong rom or recovery for your device, the inc2 is vivow, the incS is vivo, what does your bootloader say at the top?

just try booting the ROM, see whether it boots in to recovery.

and the actual boot file i flash in to recovery.

thank you guys all, just tried again and and it worked!!! Now I'm on JB 4.1/
Thank you guys all for visitng my thread and helping me . TYTYTYT!!!!!

would be good if you posted how you fixed, for future reference.

Can't boot into recovery!

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.

If I understand, your problem is that you can't actually flash a custom recovery from ROM Manager ?
Which do you use ?
Are you trying to flash a recovery in recovery mode ?
Please link here files you tried to flash.

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

[Q] How do I unroot my phone and get back my initial ROM?

I apologize if this is a repetitive post but I urgently need to know how to get back my first ROM ( unrooted, no cwm or anything ).
Details about my phone :
-Asian? lol I live in a country called Brunei, next to Malaysia.
-When I unboxed it, it was froyo and it had an update to gingerbread so I did it straight away
- gingerbread before rooting
And about unrooting it, do I just flash one ZIP file which removes superuser or something? Can someone link a guide or something? Thanks in advance!

What is the difference between the Asia_HK rom (assuming it is HongKong) and the Asia_WWE rom ?
I tried installing the Asia_HK rom and I couldn't get any OTA updates (from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7).
Also, I had to change the language from chinese to english. Basically, followed all the steps given in the tutorial, but it just didn't work .
my main aim of going back to stock was for the OTA updates. currently, am back to Virtuous Quattro RC3.

Help needed.
I have unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com and flashed a recovery and flashed a custom rom.
Now When I tried to restore back to Stock rom(from the backup which i took before flashing new rom), It takes me back to recovery all the time after reboot.
I manually flashed boot.img from the back up folder too.
Still it takes me to recovery all the time. I mean, After restoring, It will just reboot and take me to recovery. Even logo "HTC Quietly Brilliant" wont show up.
My phone is S-ON.
I really need to get back to stock rom.
Please help me.

Are you manually flashing the boot.img file while recovery mode, or are you rebooting into FASTBOOT USB mode and flashing it?
When you restore a backup in recovery mode, the boot partition cannot be written to. You must reboot into FASTBOOT USB using the command:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
You must copy the boot.img file from you SD card to your PC to run the Fastboot command.

You should relock the bootloader first before you flash the RUU by using the computer.

This should have been posted in the General section, not the Development section.
If you can boot the phone into HBOOT, then you can flash a new recovery image in FASTBOOT USB mode.
If you have more questions post in the GENERAL section after you have searched.

Help with cwm recovery install and wsod

Hello
I finally got bored with my phone and decided to try some custom roms. Im not new to flashing roms but this was my first attempt with the vivid.
I unlocked my bootloader and s-off my phone using the Juopunutbear trick. I updated the hboot and perm-rooted the device. I did this all following the superguide instructions.
This is where I think I messed up. I tried to use the rom manager to back up my phone and install cwm which im thinking i shouldnt have. I installed the app and hit flash clockworkmod recovery. I got confused on what to do after that.
I can boot into the phone fine with no issues but I can not hboot into recovery it just hangs on the htc white screen.
I dont know where to go from here. can i salvage this process or step back in someway? Also did I install cwm or not complete the process or was it already installed as part of the superguide perm root instructions? Im a little confused on the whole recovery part.
Thanks for the help
Either flashimagegui from the themes and apps thread...
Or manually fastboot flash recovery *image name*
I recommend twrp...
Easy way to get it..
Download goomanager from the market... Open... Grant root...
Hit the menu capacitive button... Choose install openrecovery script...
Download it... Trying to flash it with goomanager is broken... Use either method mentioned above

Thanks for the reply. I ended up re-rooting the phone(Step 4 superguide) and that gave me access to the recovery menu again.
Yeah, don't use rom manager it's old and outdated

[Q] [Help] bootloop with no recovery

I tried to flash the new Kitkat ROM on my stock-rooted ROM but flashed it wrong (as my bootload is not unlocked as needed).
Now I'm stuck on bootloop when I see the new ROM's logo showing up for few seconds but reboot imediately..
My recovery is also gone.. I can't access it.. (I have my backup there, I only need to reach it)
I tried to use flashtool and adb but I can't control them..
How can I flash CWM recovery through any of them?
Please provide link and explain I'm freaking out here..
Thanks!

Use fastboot to flash... Just make sure your phone is in fastboot/flash mode first
If your on locked boot loader then you have to do a ftf/flash tool restore
