[SOLVED]What happen if I flash ROM using the not recommended recovery?

Hi there.
As the above title says, what happen if I do so?
I do not have recovery version 2.5.1.3 in my ROM Manager anymore(I have no idea know why). Also do not have 3.0.2.5.
The only recovery I have is 2.5.1.4, 3.0.0.5, 3.0.0.6 and 3.0.2.4. Plus I am unable to flash 2.5.1.4 version(it pops up an error)

Some have no issues, but some have experienced issues when trying to restore cwm backups.
Have a look in the LeeDrOiD 2.2.3 thread a few days ago. I have posted methods to manually flash it via a tool or adb commands. I have also provided dl links as well.

Hi Upintheair
Thanks for the reply. Erm.. do you remember the exact date you post that in LeeDroid's thread? The thread is overloading. I cannot find them. =(

From Index of /cm/recoveries Download recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img
Try one of these 2 tools, instructions are on the threads;
1. Thread: [TOOL][All devices & OS] Fastboot Commander [v.1.1]
Download: Fastboot Commander v1.1
2. Thread: Android Flasher
Download: [UTILITY] Android Flasher(Recovery,splash1,Radio,HBOOT,bootanim)[V1.7.4]
OR
Manually through ADB:
1. Place the image in where fastboot.exe is located.
2. Connect phone to PC with Bootloader FASTBOOT USB
3. Using commands "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img", then "fastboot reboot", recovery

3. Using commands "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img", then "fastboot reboot", recovery

I tried many threads and find no answer to my question.
On my ubuntu I installed adb and can't remember about fastboot.exe whether it was installed by default or I downloaded it. And know I lost it - deleted accidentally.
1.My ques is where can I find it I mean fastboot? I reconfigured my adb back but there is no fastboot.
2. Can I use fastboot-linux from CWM 3.0.2.8 Installer instead?
It flashed cwm perfectly. But I am not shure about flashing radios and stuff.
Thanks for the links to the Leedroid cwm version

Warning: Flashing wrong radios or incorrectly can result in a BRICK !!! Your own risk..........
Edit: I would advise flashing through a battery only powered notebook, don't want a power surge or cut 1/2 way through a flash . Also ensure notebook & phone batteries have near full charge.
Fastboot Commander v1.1 is compatabe with Linux, there is instruction how to install the tool in the Dev's thread. It has everything you need in the zip, and no need for the adb / fastboot commands in CMD.
...............The first result Mr. Google gave me with the search string "download fastboot.exe" Choice of platforms; Windoes, Mac, Linux
Once extracted, just copy the files into your SDK folder where adb.exe is located (maybe tools or platform-tools........)
To make sure fastboot is working ok, boot phone into FASTBOOT, connect to PC & it will change to FASTBOOT USB. Open up CMD and navigate (cd\......) to the folder where adb & fastboot.exe is now located. Now type "fastboot devices", if connected & communicating correctly using Fastboot commands -> HTxxxxxxxxx, giving the device serial number.
If you want to use CMD:
Place image inside SDK folder where fastboot & adb.exe are located.
Rename it to radio.img (unless you like to type the whole name again)
CMD type: " fastboot flash radio radio.img", then
"fastboot reboot"
I am not too sure about Linux PCs, always been Windows until Android.

It is strange that CWM is not available to update TO 3.0.2.6 in ROM MANAGER...
this version is compatible with leedroid. you must to have installed ROM manager ver.4.1.0.0 from the android market..

You'll have to post that question to the ROM Manager Koush.
If you require a CWM Recovery version not listed in ROM Manager, flash through the methods I posted above. Links to Index of /cm/recoveries is there as well as xxxxxxx2.5.1.3-ace.img
OR
CMD: "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img"

Thanks UpInTheAir
I'll try it later tonight. Guess I will try to manually flash them.
It is exactly how we flash radio using the radio flash tool but this time change the "radio" to "recovery"?? this time im suppose to use back the same tool right?
I just recalled I read it somewhere last time when I was learning how to flash new radio. x)

If you are referring to the "tool" as in the CMD (Command Prompt)?
If this is what you mean, the answer is Yes & Yes.
Most of the tools, some examples & links I've given, just save you time, not having to use the adb or fastboot commands, cd\ (navigate) to the location of adb.exe or fastboot.exe in the SDK folder etc. These tools can also do a lot more, particularly Fastboot Commander which can be run on Windows or Linux.

I just try it and it says "error: cannot load 'recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img" =(
This is what I do
1) Firstly when i was at the cmd window.. I type "adb reboot bootloader"
2) Then "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img"
and it pops up that error. =/

Ensure Fastboot is OFF & USB debugging ON in phone settings
When in FASTBOOT, does it say FASTBOOT USB when phone is connected?
Did you test Fastboot communication by command "fastboot devices"?
Make sure the recovery image is copied to the SDK folder where fastboot.exe & adb.exe is located.
Make sure the name is exact. You could also rename it to recovery.img , and the change the command to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (NO "quotes")
Edit: I see your signature is ENG S-off?, double check in HBOOT Bootloader. If the above still doesn't work, try the Fastboot Commander Tool, maybe your making a typo somewhere........

1. Ensure Fastboot is OFF & USB debugging ON in phone settings
Erm Im not sure about this, but I thought if we want to do anything such as flashing recovery we need to have Fastboot ON? Just to double confirm first before I do anything. ^^
2. When in FASTBOOT, does it say FASTBOOT USB when phone is connected?
How do I check this? =/
3. Did you test Fastboot communication by command "fastboot devices"?
Same as the above. How do I check this?
4. Make sure the recovery image is copied to the SDK folder where fastboot.exe & adb.exe is located.
Yes. Checked.
5. Make sure the name is exact. You could also rename it to recovery.img , and the change the command to "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (NO "quotes")
Tried. Did not work. Same error coming out.
I try flashing other recovery such as 3.0.2.6 but still the same error.

1. Mine works fine with usb debugging on & fastboot off.
2. Power off phone. HOLD volume down (don't release) & press power button once. Phone will boot into HBOOT, you will see FASTBOOT. Connect to pc with usb cable. Wait a few seconds and HBOOT will change to FASTBOOT USB.
3. Use Cmd (command prompt) in Windows. Pc to navigate to the sdk tools or platform tools folder (where fastboot.exe is located). Now type "fastboot devices", if you are communicating in fastboot, you will get HTxxxxxx (device serial number), and can now proceed with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
If it doesn't work, you have not setup properly, or typo, I would suggest using fastboot commander tool.

I got my device number of HT0CCRX00128. Guess I've followed the steps you gave me correctly. Lol. But still the same results, error in flashing the recovery.
I will try that fastboot commander tool later tomorrow. It's getting late here and have to wake up early for work. Plus I havent read that thread properly yet. Lol.
Anyway thanks a lot ya.

i know, and I understand you, only I say that there are CWM's versions you very validate for flash apart from the recommended ones that work perfectly, I am flashing with the current one (leedroid, coredroid, hd rev ..) and it me works to the perfection and the nandroid also.
Certainly .... which is the meaning of "koush"???

Here are two zip files: Recovery 3.0.2.8 & 2.5.1.3.
3.0.2.8 doesn't show in ROM Manager, but version shows when boot into CWM Recovery, so no worries.
Reference Thread: [RELEASE][25/04/2011] ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.2.8
I downloaded 3.0.2.8 from the above thread, extracted replaced the 3.0.2.8 image with 2.5.1.3 image (renamed recovery.img), and zipped again to upload.
View attachment Recovery_Ace_v2.5.1.3.zip
View attachment Recovery_Ace_v3.0.2.8.zip
Installation:
1. Power off your DHD
2. Put it in bootloader mode; Power+Vol down and select Fastboot from menu.
3. Plug-in the USB cable. (FASTBOOT USB)
4. Extract xxxx.zip
5. Double click on install-recovery-windows.bat if you're using windows, execute install-recovery-linux.sh if you're on linux or install-recovery-mac.sh if MacOSX.
6. Done! The device will be automatically rebooted.
7. If the version doesn't show in ROM Manager, reboot into recovery to check version actually installed.
I tested the windows commands and worked perfect Linux should too!!
I do recommend you read up a bit yourself on adb & fastboot commands, and if you aren't able to do that, use the flashing tools provided by the various Devs, thanks to them, life is much easier.

Thanks UpInTheAir!
I actually managed to get 2.5.1.3 installed and now I can continue flashing ROMs! Lol.
Erm why wouldnt recovery version show in the ROM Manager? My ROM Manager still shows it is 3.0.0.6 but in the recovery it shows as 2.5.1.3. Thats pretty weird isnt it?
Oops. I am trying to flash ARHD now, but halfway through it "stuck" in recovery and says: /tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. please open ROM Manager to report the issue.
What happen here? Its getting complex. =/

[Q] installing custom roms

hi...
can any1 tell me how to install custom roms using pc...........
i have searched the forum....but couldnt find any answer.................
sorry for starting a new thread........
thanks in advance

General Method:
- find, download and copy a flashable rom called "fullwipe 1.3" to the sd
- copy the zip with the rom you want to load in it to your sd card
- reboot into cwm recovery
- install zip from sd card
- choose the fullwipe 1.3 zip
- install
- then choose the rom's zip
- install
- reboot
wait for it to load. there you go.
For more advanced rom's, you must make directory's on your sd card for them to work properly. Follow instructions posted by the Rom's developer for proper installation.

thanks bro..........4 all ur help..............

I can appreciate that, but I need to know what to do. I try to do that & i get an error while attempting to run privileged commands. Flashing sounds all great but I cant seem to get it to do anything in recovery... error issues trying to do that, or anything else, I also have super user update issues that say they put a recovery image on the sd card & to go boot that from within recovery.
Just hoping to find out why i cant do the simple things everyone speaks of.

Well if you can't flash recovery from Rom Manager then there's something wrong with your root privileges or s-offs... Just to make things clear, how did you try to flash the recovery?

AT THE TOP OF THE BOOTLOADER IT MUST SAY "... ENG S-OFF RL" FOR THIS TO WORK
With the device connected, boot into bootloader and select FASTBOOT and press power once.
It will now show FASTBOOT USB, and give you 4 options.
Download the newest 4.x.x.x version of the cwm recovery from the dev section.
Download My Toolkit and Extract to C:\
In the recovery zip that you downloaded from the dev thread, find the "recovery.img" and extract it to the RESOURCE folder of my toolkit. (make sure its only the recovery.img and not the folders it sits in)
open up a command prompt (windows key + R, type "cmd" and hit enter)
type in: cd "C:\HTC ACE TOOLKIT\RESOURCE" and hit enter.
the prompt should now be in that directory.
now type in the following EXACTLY and press enter afterwards:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Let it flash, and badaboom, you have just flash cwm recovery.

well, in that toolkit i told you to download is a command script that does pretty much what I told you do to for the recovery.
Since you and I have the exact same phone I recommend grabbing the radio from the 2.52 korean build (Radio_12.59.60.26U_26.11.04.21_M), and the rill's as well.
Here is the radio and ril (first 2 links, download via the dropbox links): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996630
make sure you're in bootloader > fastboot and it says FASTBOOT USB on the screen
take a radio.img from within the zip and drop it into the resource folder and then run the shorcut in the toolkit.
It will now flash the radio to your phone and reboot.
Now with the rill's you flash via cwm recovery, from the RIL zip you downloaded, off your sd card in the same way you would flash a rom.

I would Like to thank you for your help & support, I was a the step of having fastboot usb And on my pc I unziped the radio And droped the image in the resource folder, a window pops up (disk burner) only option to choose is DVD R Drive.... do I have to have the SD card unmouted as a disk drive to the computer?

leave disk burner outta this. lol
The phone should be in bootloader under "fastboot" so the highlighted area will say FASTBOOT USB (since your phone is connected to your pc).
If radio.img is in the RESOURCE folder of my toolkit, go back to the main folder (HTC ACE TOOLKIT) and just double click the "Flash Radio" shorcut.

Any suggestion on roms to try? using Revolution HD right now.

Idiots guide

SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED
Hi All
Is there anyone willing to help me recover my phone (presently stuck on logo screen). I've looked at various solutions posted on different forums but I just get confused.
So what I would like is idiots guide on how to do it, including how to write the commands codes so I can flash the updated CWM rom. Tried to work it out but everything I've tried keeps failing and I desperate to get my phone working again.
Please please help

Tell us what you have done so far m8 and the reason for it being stuck. At a guess did you flash the boot.img when installing a Rom?
To install or update recovery, go here and follow the instructions on the second part "Installing A Recovery" Just follow the steps its pretty easy.

Flash the appropriate boot.IMG for your rom
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

hmmm
Thats what i've trying to do but I can't seem to work out what cmd codes I need to get it to work. All I get is:
'Downloads\OneXRoot' is not recognized as an internal or external command
operable program or batch file.
This error message on everything I try to do incuding flashboot, flashboot recovery etc
Tried micks solution and all it did was open Nero gggrrrrrr
And yes I did flash a boot image but i'm trying to get the updated one onto my phone but because my battery won't charge it proving to be a nightmare

From the link I posted do as the guide says re making a folder called fastboot on C: and then download the files and extract them to fastboot. Replace the end of the guide with instructions for flashing a boot image. The boot.img is usually in the zip of the rom. So you need to extract the boot.img and place it in your C:\fastboot folder
It should go something like this. Use C:\ not Downloads\OneXRoot
1. Download These Fastboot Files
2. Make a new folder on your C: drive called fastboot.
3. Extract The Zip downloaded in step 1 to the new folder
4. The Official Version of CWM has been released and is now capable of flashing all roms, you can grab it HERE
5. download the custom recovery and save it in the same folder as you did the fastboot files
6. Power Phone Off by Holding power button for 10 secs
7. select Fastboot with volume + or - then press power
8. plug your phone into your PC and open a Command Prompt.
(windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK
(Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in search box then press Enter)
9. cd to your fastboot files folder cd c:\fastboot
10. Then enter fastboot flash boot boot.img and hit enter
11. fastboot erase cache is recommended if you have booting issues
reboot
ignore steps 4 and 5, copy and paste from above link

Going to buy a new phone
Followed your instruction to the letter but it failed to work. I think the problem is with my computer not recognising fastboot and the solution also failed. So I think i'm just going to buy a new phone and thanks for all your help

No need to buy a new phone, stick with it, you'll get there
Maybe give this a try. It does everything for you

Thanks thats a solution that will work once I find away to charge my battery. You have been a legend.

Cant you just put it in to recovery or leave it on the hboot screen, then plug in to a wall charger?

In Q&A, find the topic "flashing boot.img hoooooooow????" Or something, and at second side, u have my guide to flash boot.img files. Hope it works.

[HOW-TO] Fix One X with no ROM, kernel or recovery but can access bootloader.

Hello everyone.
In this thread I intend to help people out with a problem identical to or similar to what I mentioned in the title.
If you have for example recovery installed or some files on your sdcard, you can either skip a few steps or restart completely. If you at any point need further assistance, feel free to post (I am not an expert though, I'm just sharing the knowledge I have used to help people out in the past. If I can't help you, I'm sure others can.)
However, this thread assumes you have fastboot and the like in a folder such as C:\android as you would have needed that to unlock the bootloader. Don't fret if you don't, just post and I or others will try to help.
NOTE: In this tutorial I replace the names of files with other words to save writing down every possible file name in existence. Don't type for example blobby.img, type the name of your recovery file that you have downloaded.
STEP 1: Obtain and store clockwork mod recovery touch.
The latest file can be found here if you scroll down to One X (GSM). I recommend you choose this one:
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Or if you want the latest one at the time of writing:
http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img
Once you have downloaded the file, place it into your folder with fastboot in.
STEP 2: Flash recovery.
First, go to the bootloader on your phone. Highlight and select fastboot.
Then, open comnand promot on your pc.
If you haven't already, plug your phone into the pc.
Now, use the cd command to select your fastboot folder in command prompt. For example, if your folder is C:\android, type:
cd c:\android
Then press enter.
Now to flash the recovery. In this part, the word blobby replaces the recovery file you just downloaded. Type into command prompt:
Fastboot flash recovery blobby.img
Then press enter.
STEP 3: Download ROM, Super wipe and Kernel.
For this I recommend Android Revolution HD as it is in my opinion the fastest and most stable ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
Scroll down to the downloads section and download the ROM itself, the boot. img and the superwipe.zip
Once you have downloaded these, place the ROM and Superwipe in your fastboot folder. Extract the boot zip to a new folder within the android folder.
STEP 4: Put ROM files in your sdcard.
In this next part, blobby means exactly the same as before, rommy means the name of the ROM file you downloaded and wipey means the Superwipe zip.
Go into fastboot on your phone. Open command prompt on the pc and used again to go to your fastboot folder. Type:
Fastboot boot blobby.img
Once in recovery, go to a section called something like mounts and file storage, it's the one with all the mounting and unmounting etc. (Correction needed)
Mount everything, stay in recovery and type in command prompt.
adb push rommy.zip /sdcard
Then
adb push wipey.zip /sdcard
After this is done, return to fastboot for the next step.
STEP 5: Flashing boot image.
Go to the folder you made when extracting the zip before. There should be an executable called something like flash boot. (Correction needed). Open it and follow the instructions.
Once done, go to recovery.
STEP 6: Install ROM.
In recovery, select Install Zip from Sdcard.
Go down until you find the Superwipe zip. Select it.
Do the same for the ROM zip.
Whilst installing the ROM, you will be asked for many settings. I recommend you leave most of them as default, only change what you know changes.
STEP 7: Reboot
Reboot your phone and wait a while. If it starts up, SUCESS. If you still have a problem, post here with more info. Be patient on the first boot, it always takes a while.
I hope this thread has helped you. I am open for all comments good or bad.
Thanks,

Which part are you having trouble with?

Would it not be less hassle to just relock and run an RUU?

[Q] SD card appears empty, and phone is stuck on load screen.

A buddy of mine rooted my phone after I had so much difficulty trying to do it myself. I went to update my ROM this afternoon and was brought to the white HTC loading screen with no more activity. Tried getting into my phone to put a new ROM on the SD card and nothing comes up on the SD card folder. I am able to put a ROM in the empty SD card folder and install it, but than it just gets stuck on the same screen as before. I'm really just in the dark here and that friend isn't any longer available to help me out. Thank you all in advance, hopefully this is fixable. I am quite concerned. I should add that I would like to ultimately just get back to stock and be done with things I don't understand so as to avoid this happening again.

Did you flash the boot.img from the rom.zip? These are the correct steps to flash a ROM:
1. Flash the boot.img from ROM.zip via fastboot. "fastboot flash boot boot.img" then "fastboot erase cache"
2. Boot into recovery and use THIS by flashing it.
3. Now flash the ROM.zip and then gapps.zip via recovery.
4. Reboot.

I have tried flashing the boot.img but when I go to put the file onto my phone I don't have any folders such as the boot.img folder to put it in. As for flashing the link above, I am taking a stab in the dark here but I assume that I download that link, extract it and place it on my SD card somewhere. I'm not sure as to how I flash it. Sorry... I really have tried learning the ropes of this, but I can't seem to grasp it.

I somehow now have access to TWRP on my device... I am so confused.

1. First you need to download a custom ROM like this one : http://tunsd.de/downloads/ICJ/IceColdJelly421/aokp_ICJ422-V3.0.zip , Gapps : http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip and Super wipe script: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0y31poo1kiaif4y/Super wipe script.zip
2. Open the aokp_ICJ422-V3.0.zip with winrar/winzip and extract the boot.img and place it in the "fastboot" folder in your PC. (since you have already unlocked/rooted it, I guess you know which is the fastboot folder)
3. Connect your Phone to your PC and make a new folder named "ROM" and put the aokp_ICJ422-V3.0.zip , gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip and Super wipe script.zipin it.
4. Turn of your phone. Now hold the power button and volume down button together until the bootloader screen pops up. (White screen with 3 android figures at the bottom)
5. Now select "fastboot" using the volume up/down keys and press power button once you highlight it to get into fastboot. Now connect your phone again to your PC.
6. You will hear a sound on your pc and on the screen it will say "fastboot USB".
7. Now open fastboot folder on your PC and press shift key and simultaneously rightclick and click on "open command prompt here".
8. type the following lines:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache
9. Now disconnect your phone and head back to "HBOOT" and then select "Recovery".
10. Now go to "install zip from sd" and select "ROM" folder which you had created earlier on the phone.
11. Now select "super wipe script" and install it. After everything is done you will come back to choose zip from sd.
12. Now again navigate to ROM folder and select "aokp_ICJ422-V3.0.zip" and install it. and then install "gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip".
13. Now go back and select "reboot system now".
14. If you have done all the above steps correctly, you will boot into IceColdJelly Rom!

Irrespective whether you have CWM or TWRP... Steps will be similar for flashing the ROM... Just the names of the buttons/options will be different!
If you want to use CWM, then download this : http://htcfanboys.com/download/seadersn/?action=list&file=2823
Put the recovery.img in your fastboot folder. Boot your phone in fastboot mode and fire the following lines in CMD.
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot erase cache
Now you can follow the steps which I have given blindly!

My phone was unlocked and rooted from a different PC so I have no fastboot folders or any knowledge on what a fastboot folder is.

Download HTC Sync Manager: (this is required so that correct drivers are installed on your PC)
http://www.htc.com/www/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
After download is complete, install it and restart your pc.
Download Fastboot Folder:
http://www.mediafire.com/?cm2famr3xd2cnom
Extract it somewhere on your pc.
Now look at my previous post and follow the steps...

Everything went swell until step 10. Every time I tried to install anything it came up as failed. I repeated the steps several times with the same results. I really appreciate your efforts in trying to help me.

What error message do you get while you flash?
what is your HBoot version?
Go to bootloader(Power button+Volume Down)... once you get to that white screen, you should be able to see your hboot version... something like hboot 1.39...
