[Q] Nandroid through fastboot or adb?

Is there any way to restore a nandroid backup through fastboot or adb? i.e. without installing CWM

You can boot to cwm without installing it. But I can't remember the steps offhand

Interesting, bro! One of my fri also need to flash a zip without root or cwm recovery. In fact these 2 things r the reason for requiring the mentioned method in this post. He is using galaxy r n stuck in android 4.0.4.

Bump, anyone?

I tried to boot twrp through adb and it just reboot the phone..you just need to make a stock nandroid and download recovery.img for your version

With an unlocked bootloader you can in fastboot mode issue :
fastboot boot name_of_recovery.img
Without flashing it. Works nicely.

How exactly do i flash with unlocked BL

i rooted my phone and backed AT up, then in unloked the BL
now i thought i just install a custom recovery as i did in my DHD to flash roms but it seems they are all just for loked BL
and if they are not you can only flash stock roms??
so how do i for example flash carbon rom on my xperia z? do i use the flash tool and flash the rom the same way i flashed the 423 kernel to root?
and does anybody know where i can get carbon 1.7 the link is broken

For unlocked bootloaders the recovery is part of the custom kernal. So fastboot the kernal IMG contained in the rom zip. Reboot and press volume up and you will boot to recovery. Once in recovery do all wipes and flash the ROM....simple

The fastboot command, for flashing boot.img files is:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Boot into CWM recovery

Can't get my stock unlocked one to boot into CWM recovery. Wanting a stock nandroid before doing S-off.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img
Just hangs at downloading.
Is this a limitation of the 1.54 hboot or something else?

"fastboot boot recovery.img" no longer works in 1.54. You're going to have to flash CWM (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) to be able to get to CWM. and of course you'll loose stock recovery, so the nandroid will contain the CWM recovery.

How can I extract the stock recovery before flashing CWM?
Or where can I find stock recovery for 2.24.161.1?

Several people were looking for stock recovery for that version, don't know if anybody found it, but there is a Guru Reset for 2.24.161.1, which supposedly includes the stock recovery: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/guru_reset_m7_2-24-161-1-zip/

Downloaded that. Not sure that is stock recovery. Says there is an option to restore stock recovery when available.
I found this....

Image size is different to one in ruu
Any way to verify?

I don't know how to decompile .img files, so can't verify.
One thing you can do (if the above don't work), is once you are S-Off, (temporarily) downgrade to this nandroid: http://www.htc1guru.com/dld/m7-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-vodap102-1-29-161-7-7z/
then download the OTA to 2.24.161.1, do not install, just extract recovery.img from the OTA file.

[Q] Remove FOTAkernel TWRP Recovery

Hi..
after moving to 4.4 someone screwed me for taking AOKP which didn't include recovery. When I tried to flash boot.img to gain recovery, I didn't. At the end, I went and installed TWRP to FOTAkernel partition.
Now, If I would like to install CWM using boot.img from (lets say latest CM11), I cannot boot to CWM because TWRP loads up every time.
I've sent emails (TWRP team) and private messages to people responsible for some "recovery" topics here and didn't get any reply.
1. Can someone tell me how to get to normal, CWM recovery from boot.img (meaning how to uninstall TWRP from FOTAkernel partition)
2. If I go back to pure stock and install everything through flashtool, will the FOTAkernel partition also get erased?
Thank you for your replies.
Regards! :laugh:

Just get hold of any FTF and flash fota kernel only with flashtool.

[Q] lost recovery and rom

i tried to flash a rom and somehow i lost recovery. can someone help me or point me in the right direction?

How did you flash recovery when you unlocked your bootloader?

Boot into bootloader and fastboot. Then open up command prompt and type fastboot flash recovery recovery name.img
