Okay so i unlocked my bootloader, that went well (as if thats hard)
and then i used Modacos superboot to root, it rooted (except for some reason the super user application opens to just a black screen). After that i continued to flash the recovery so that i can flash Cyanogen. When i try to flash the recovery i keep on getting the error 'cannot load'. i've tried like 4 different recovery roms. Not sure what im doing wrong
Oh and this has been tried on 2 different computers. One win7 and one XP. both gave the same output

what commands are you using to flash Amon_RA's recovery image? i also assume you're at the white bootloader screen when trying to flash Amon_RA's recovery image. also, to confirm root access, download the N1 Torch app and if it works, you're rooted.
Yes the screen is white. And i am using "fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0-cyan.img"
Cannot load what - fastboot or the ROM .img file? Do you have fastboot-windows.exe in the same directory as the rom image?-(not necessary if fastboot command works for you)
Type fastboot devices to double check your link between pc and phone. If not check usb cable & drivers.
Make sure ur unlock is right before flashing Amon. If you've rooted then you should see an unlocked-lock image (the the google Xscreen) while booting, or the N1 torch app method as mentioned above.

Make sure you got to that white screen by pressing the trackball and not the volume rocker.
I renamed the recovery image to "recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img"
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img
Make sure you check
Code:
fastboot devices
and get your device number and also make sure you put it in the tools folder of the Android SDK
Make these steps
Boot ur phone into bootloader
1 Rename the img to recovery.img
2 Place the file in ur toolfolder where u have ur fastboot
3 Rightclik on toolfolder+Shift choose open cmd here
4 write fastboot devices to be shure u are connected
5 then write fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
hi,I have the problem too.I try many times but still stuck TRIANGLE WITH !.when I do recovery image
the screen come up "sending 'recovery"3948 kb.....ok
writing' recovery'......ok
sending 'recovery"3948 kb.....ok
writing' recovery'......ok

Code:
fastboot reboot
Finally got Amon_Ra's recovery to install
I started with a stock N1 with froyo
had a few stumbles along the way and lots of searching...lots and lots lol
using the how-to on the cyanogen page I went to the letter as ive never used ADB
So I installed the Latest Android SDK to get the ADB and Fastboot.
verified connection with "adb devices" command and so on
when I tried to flash amons the first time I got an error saying it couldn't open the file.
I checked to see if i had Super user with the LED flashlight app and I did not so I downloaded Super boot and it worked like a charm
tried again and got the same cannot open error.
I renamed the recovery image back to the original file name and triple checked everything else which didnt help.
at this point it was late and i was exhausted so my memory is fuzzy
but i had a few more issues and finally I installed the clock work app and installed clockwork recovery i then used that to flash amons because that is what i was familiar with from my G1 days.
I do remember I had to go into fast boot and select clear storage. I think thats what caused my N1 to hang on reboot after the ROM was flashed.
But It may have even been what caused my issues with the recovery image.
Hello dear guru's =)
I have an HTC One international. Today i try to get root access and install custom recovery, whent i flash recovery i missed that chose a boot partition to install it. Now phone boots only into recovery, and from my PC, adb or fastboot don see it, but in usb devices its present.
Im on linux Ubuntu 13.04.
In phone dont have any backup.

When i chose from CWM recovery menu "Reboot recovery", phone boot into download mode, and thats all. Fastboot or adb dont see it.
But. In usb device list:
In download mode:
Bus 002 Device 061: ID 0bb4:0ff9 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.) Desire / Desire HD / Hero / Thunderbolt (Charge Mode)
In recovery mode:
Bus 002 Device 063: ID 0bb4:0f91 HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.)
Assuming you didn't corrupt your boot loader you should be able to get at the boot loader and use fastboot to flash a new recovery.
Power the device off
Hold power and volume down, the phone should turn on and load into the boot loader.
From there you can select fastboot (navigate menu with volumn buttons, power button to select fastboot).
You can use this command to flash a recovery:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If you can enter bootloader,you may try formatting partitions from fastboot,and flashing them afterwards,that is if bootloader is unlocked.
You can also lock your bootloader and try installing RUU,it will put your phone back to stock,
P.S. - I'm new to this,so please consult with more experienced members,before doing anything

you "fastboot flash boot recovery.img"? you may want to check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2478438&page=3
if that doesn't help, post back
Guys, we have to check if he can boot in bootloader/fastboot.
So, @ZloY909, if you're in recovery, adb can recognize your phone?
And, in CWM, there is the option: reboot bootloader?
As download mode you mean bootloader?
ZloY909 said:
Has the same problem, flashed CWM Recovery to the boot partiotion. Can you give me more info about that magic what you are done to cennect your phone to fastboot? =)
Thanks.

fastboot shouldn't be affected.
when you connect your phone to the PC, does it the text in bootloader change from "FASTBOOT" to "FASTBOOT USB"

adb or fastboot is not recognize my phone. In cwm recovery i have only reboot option or reboot into recovery. I have the same situation as tha developer in other post.
when i chose boot to recovery i have : "screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds"

"screen with a phone icon and a green image like i can connect via usb or something, but then it turns red after about 30 seconds" -> that's stock recovery
Before, when you are in bootloader (image attached), are you able to "fastboot devices" and it shows up? because the bootloader is not affected by the recovery.
basically "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" put the custom recovery where the kernel is supposed to be.
First thing you need to get/confirm working is bootloader/fastboot.

In cwm adb will work.
So i think you have some issue with drivers.
And, however, if you turn off the phone, you can't access in bootloader with a longpress of power and vol-?
Hey, so I'm the one who had this same situation. What I had to do from what I recall is go to CWM screen, cleared the cache, even in advanced the davlik cache, then I believe (and you might have to try different combinations of this, because I don't 100% remember as I had before tried so many different ways) I unmounted the system mount, then went to reboot from the first screen to get to the bootloader (hold power button and volume down). After this, I clicked on Fastboot and it then went to Fastboot USB. This is where you should be able to connect. Don't leave this screen until you flash the recovery in the right place and then properly install the ROM. Let me know if you get to at least connecting and I can even send over an image for your boot, so you can at least get your phone back.
It can be done, I had the same situation so your phone is not bricked. Just keep working at it.

Is it just me or is not possible to flash a recovery, like TWRP from fastboot? I've been reading a bunch of guides online and tried at least a dozen different ways to install a recovery from fastboot all to no avail.
That said, I CAN successfully flash a recovery from Hasoon's all in one toolkit and from a app like twrp/cwm/flashify after installing a rooted rom. So the fact that I can't get it to work from fastboot, yet it works perfectly fine with this pre-made program has been bugging the living **** out of me. I'll list the two processes I use below so please tell me either they are incorrect or perhaps it's just simply not possible to install TWRP or other recoveries from fastboot.
I have tried each of these processes with versions ranging from TWRP 2.5-2.7 and none of them will work, each time I flash them and attempt to access the recovery it will say in pink lettering above "entering recovery..." then it just reboots the phone, occasionally the teamwin loading screen will pop up but then it simply disappears and reboots.
Anyways here's the processes I've tried
1. in the cmd prompt I do 'fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img' then reboot the bootloader and go to the recovery.
2. in the cmd prompt I do 'fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img' then do 'fastboot erase cache' and restart the bootloader then attempt to enter recovery.
These are the two slightly different processes I've tried, each time it appears as though it's working in the cmd prompt but then when I go to start the recovery it just reboots the phone. Also incase you're wondering, I did rename each of the recoveries to TWRP all uppercase before attempting the flash them).
If you have any ideas please let me know, although this isn't too big of a deal this has been bugging me a lot!
I have traied a few different recoveryies and fastboot and mfastboot, but I can not get any recovery to ACTUALLY flash to the phone.
It is a XT1053 running 4.4.4. Even when everything says it flashed fine, the recovery is still not there when i try to boot into it.
Any ideas?
Use the Vol+ button to select recovery, not power.

What @nhizzat has said, is the most common mistake.
Beyond that, you don't mention if your bootloader is unlocked or not. I'm guessing it is, otherwise you should get some kind of error from fastboot/mfastboot on your PC.
One other thing that some have run into is... after flashing a recovery, having to reboot into bootloader before trying to enter recovery.... For example...
Start the phone in Fastboot/BootLoader mode and connect it to your PC.
open command prompt file and change to the folder your recovery IMG file resides in.
type the following, pressing enter after each command, and wait for it to finish before going onto the next...
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
Note: the recovery could be twrp.img, cwm.img, etc.
The device will reboot then display different BOOT OPTIONS
Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to select it.

that is your issue right there after you flash a custom recovery you need to boot into the recovery before letting your phones boot into the OS.
if your phone boots into the OS then the recovery will not stick and you will be back on the stock recovery.
so
1.boot into bootloader
2.flash Custom recovery of your choice
3. make sure the phone does not boot into OS it can reboot back into bootloader and it can reboot into recovery with no issues but if it boots into the Phone OS then you will be back on stock recovery.
hope this helps enjoy
So I recently tried to flash TWRP onto my HTC 626 and it seems like everything went well except a completely random group of inputs just loads my phone into fastboot list as follows:
Trying to enter recovery mode from menus
Trying to enter recovery mode from adb
Trying to perform a factory reset from menus
Plugging the device into a pc while powered off
The phone can still boot into the os and it runs just like normal. I have been frantically googling the problem but I have no idea what is going on.
I would have just done a reset but it just loads into fastboot.

Guess what? I just might be able to save the day, mighty mouse style. Are you ready for this?
Try this out and see if it works for you like it worked for me.
But before you do this, I am on the MM-update android 6.0.1...this was what I used for this particular os. If you've update to Marshmallow already, please continue with the following......
Download these files first to your pc.
Twrp recovery - https://goo.gl/sO4Huz
BETA-SuperSU-v2.62 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087018189
Credit to my buddy IsaacGuti for the files.
fastboot flash the recovery
Make sure to either rename the Twrp recovery image to "recovery.img" before flashing or be sure to type the exact name of the twrp image file name verbatim. I'd suggest renaming it to "recovery.img just to be on the safe side.
in command prompt, it should look like this when you type it in "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" without the parenthesis
( "<----These guys to the left....don't add those in)
To make it easier, just copy and paste what's in the parenthesis into the command prompt.
flash the supersu.zip in recovery. (Meaning after the flashing of the recovery is successful, then reboot into TWRP recovery to flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.62) But Don't forget to move the BETA-SuperSU file to your internal sd on your device.
If you've done all of this, you should have success. Just send me a virtual HI-5 and we're all good:highfive:
