Hi guys
Just trying to root my phone so that I can install custom recovery. I need a fastboot file apparently. Currently the phone has unlocked bootloader and is GB retail
Not sure what i'm looking for but the guide says i need a fastboot file
First you need cwm, than you can root

- Download the recovery
- Put it into your adb/fastboot folder
- Rename the recovery into: recovery.img
- Boot in fastboot
- Use the command from a prompt/terminal:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

In device manager check if it are installed and you don't have any issue.
And which OS do you have on your pc?
hello
if the bootloader is unlocked, it root and change the recovery
leaving Rom origin are still going receive OTA updates ?
I don't think you can install the update if you have modes recovery. I have had problems with that myself. You might be able to install the update if you have stock recovery. And you can always return to stock and relock the bootloader

You have to download stock firmware which I would have to get a link if I could find it. Then you have to have fastboot installed on the computer.
1. Download fastboot and extract it to a folder on desktop. download firmware.
Download fastboot here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1S0LCuXCnnmSWh6NGJmSE1BUWc/preview
Firmware:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=36
2. Extract the firmware into a folder together with fastboot.
3. Once all that is done, right click the fastboot folder while holding "shift" key. You will see an option that says "open command window here" click that, and fastboot will open. Then type this in to fastboot.
"Fastboot flash partition gpt.bin"
"Fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.IMG"
"Fastboot flash logo logo.bin"
"Fastboot flash boot boot.IMG"
"Fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG"
"Fastboot flash system.img_sparsechunk.0"
"Fastboot flash system system.IMG_sparsechunk.1"
"Fastboot flash system.IMG_sparsechunk.2"
"Fastboot flash modem NOS-HLOS.bin"
"Fastboot erase modemst1"
"Fastboot erase modemst2"
"Fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn"
"Fastboot erase cache"
"Fastboot erase userdata"
"Fastboot OEM lock"
"Fastboot reboot"
After this, you phone will reboot. Your personal data will be deleted if anything was on the phone. The boot loader unlock warning might still be there when you first boot the phone. But I hope this helped you.

Hello everybody. I'm having some problems flashing TWRP after unlocking the bootloader.
First of all, after unlocking the BL, I have flashed back the stock logo using
Code:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
Then I tried flashing TWRP.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Everything is successful, but booting to recovery from bootloader turns the phone off, and using
Code:
adb reboot recovery
brings about a 'dead android' screen with 'No command' written below it. I had to force reboot.
The phone itself works fine, and I was able to boot to TWRP, using the same .img file,
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
, and flash SU and whatever.
I don't really have a clue about what's going on here, can anybody point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance
Nevermind, solved using TWRP manager app, and flashing the recovery from Android. Still don't know why I wasn't able to flash recovery from fastboot.

I think you should use mfastboot instead of fastboot

Mfastboot? I am using Linux, I think that it's for Windows only. Anyway, I don't think the problem is on computer side, since the commands were successful both on the pc and the phone.

I used fastboot for the same thing and it worked flawlessly.
