Not to be a jerk, but how do you have 243 posts and not understand the "search" function? There are like 5011 threads about this EXACT subject already. You can either download the 2.1 update file from HTC, or, if you have truly sent your phone back to completely stock, the OTA should show up in a while. You can also "Check for Updates" from the settings menu. That worked for me the last time I took one back to stock.

Settings > About Phone > Check for Updates. That should give you the 2.1 OTA if my understanding is correct that you are on 1.5 stock.

OK update:
OK everything works right up until I try to flash the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I am on a mac and this is how I am trying to execute this command
Open terminal, type /Users/(my name)/android-sdk/tools, enter
then I try the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and I get
-bash: fastboot: command not found
HELP??

Why can't I remove my custom recovery

Boot into fastboot by holding down the red and green buttons first and then do that command. Or not. I don't know.

Check the tools folder to make sure it has fastboot. I know the windows sdk has it but it may be a seperate dl for Mac

if your fastbooting stock recovery on your phone put it in the tools folder of adb
and then fastboot, it will send it to the phone and then flash, hope this helps.

What am I supposed be looking at I used these instructions and I got the error following them

I did that's why I'm confused

Read this post and see if this will help, I believe I used this RUU with driver to unroot my phone.
If I remember correctly it also gives you the s-on bootloader

Yeah, I've been trying to find a good explanation for the difference between moto-fastboot and fastboot. What exactly is the difference between the two? Are all of the 'erase' commands just as effective between the two?
Can I just drag my fastboot.exe file into the same one my moto-fastboot and adb ones are, and use it interchangeably or will I need to copy other files as well?
Moto-fastboot and fastboot are basically the same, moto-fastboot allows for bigger file chunks(something like that)and is made for the motorola phones. Just use the same commands as you would for fastboot but use mot-fastboot instead.
Hope this helps.

Out of the two I've only used moto-fastboot to install a deodexed system.img. I've done everything else through CWM. I've noticed the moto version seems to be required with certain type of flashes (i.e. recovery,system).
I had to reflash my first backup yesterday and ended up using moto-fastboot for all the erase commands. I just wanted to make sure I was using the correct program to get the cleanest recovery.

weird, i use normal fastboot and have yet to have a problem flashing any file; recovery and system images included.
Hi I tried to flash recovery with romracer's . I got these instructions:Copy the recovery image to a convenient location on your computer, preferably with a short path. We will be placing it on the C Drive directly (not in any folder) and using that in the next steps.
Note: The recovery image should have .img extension. If it is in a zip file, extract the .img file from it.
But I can't even extract the zip file with the .img file to C because it says Error:internal error processing iso image.
I am a noobie. Could you guys give me a hand??
Thanks!

This is what is did I downloaded automatic bootloader unlock from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871, unzip it, you will find img file named recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029 replace it with romracer recovery you downloaded and rename the romracer recovery as recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029. Just to be safe even replace the recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4-olympus with rom racer recovery and rename it as recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.4-olympus. Open main and select option 2 and follow the instructions.It worked for me
First of all thanks!
I did what you told me chose option #2 but when I got into the next #5 "now release vol down and press vol down until ...... it showed the exclamation sign with the lil android. Did I do something wrong?

what was the error you got, just to be sure download the romracer recovery again it may be a bad download.You just have to switch off the phone switch off the phone holding volume down until you see fastboot then connect it to pc open main and select option 2. It will ask you to do the stuff i just said, press enter it will show device serial number and then again enter and it will write the recovery image and will ask for reboot, hold the volume down button until it shows fastboot disconnect the cable then keep pressing vol down till you get android recovery press vol up to select and that's it you get the recovery.
Edit: Are you rooted and have an unlocked bootloader.

HELP!!! I think i bricked my phone!!

OK so I have the Sprint EVO 4G LTE with 1.22.651.3 on it, rooted, S-ON. I have the Team Win Recovery Project v.2.1.8 on it as well with hboot 1.15. I tried loading the newest rooted software 2.13.651.1 710RD and voila.... paperweight. I tried reloading 1.22.651.3 and nothing. I can still boot to the bootloader and TWRP recovery, but nothing seems to work and now because sprint screwed up and removed my total equipment protection service from my plan, I don't have insurance on the phone. PLEASE HELP!!!
You just need to flash the kernel, extract it from the Rom (boot.img) and place it in adb folder, connect phone I'm bootloader and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
You can also flash meanrom, it has a working kernel installer, just let it sit because the kernel installer does take awhile 5-10 minutes

Can you explain how to do this in greater detail? I'm experienced only enough to be dangerous to myself lol
This program should install the kernel that you need. If not you are supposed to be able to swap boot.img files that it will install.

This is for the One S but it's the same process for our phones also.
Sorry I've been in a low coverage area and just got home. Open the Rom, extract the boot.img, open adb folder or SDK, hold shift and right click, select open command window here, connect phone in fastboot and type fastboot flash boot boot.img
So I tried to use that program to flash the boot.img from the fastboot screen but the computer wouldnt connect to the phone... now what?
Boot from system into hboot and fast boot while plugged in via USB. Helps your PC determine drivers.
Also, if you need a guide for setting up adb/fastboot, Google a YouTube vid by qbking77 on how to unlock galaxy nexus bootloader, it links to a great tutorial.

do you have SDK installed on your computer? If not install it. Go through the setup (set up your your environment variables) for fastboot.
Make a copy of the boot.img from a ROM of your choice. Place it in a folder on your desktop name the folder (android) leave the folder open.
Open cmd
Type cd Desktop press enter
Type cd android press enter
Type fastboot flash boot boot.img
After that it should say sending then OK
After that go into recovery then flash the ROM
you should be good to go then...

The full SDK is not necessary, just the debug tools

Also you can directly open the command prompt from within the folder by holding shift and opening the context menu (shift+right click) then select open command window here
i keep getting a message in windows "usb device not recognized" so i switched usb cables and finally got that program to load the boot.img file, then flashed a rom in bootloader but its still not booting... any ideas?
Did you make sure to wipe the phone first? What rom are you trying to flash?
wiped phone first and now trying to flash 2.13.651.1 after loading boot.img thru that program
you have to find a way to update your twrp to version 2.2.0 cause this is the culprit that gave you the issues. did you make a backup try doing a restore to get back up and running then download goomanager from the google play store and install the latest twrp here is a video to update to the latest twrp through goomanager.
twrp downloads I dont know if you have to be s-off to install in bootloader or not. maybe someone could clarify that
ok so i tried flashing twrp 2.2.2.0 and got a message saying "main verison is older" then it said "update failed!" which is weird since i had version 2.1.8.0 to begin with i think.
anyone? any ideas? I feel like my only resort is to have it replaced
You could fastboot flash the recovery image. Thats how I usually do it
So download the recovery image from twrp website and place it in your a dB folder. I don't have my PC but I think the command is fastboot flash recovery "recovery image"

You can flash cwm through adb. Adb might be buggy through recovery it was at first. I'd post on the twrp thread to see if a someone has an idea
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I had this problem myself today and started freaking out. After a brief 15 second panic attack I realized I could side load. I have twrp and sideloaded very easily.
I used the all in on toolkit listed in the android dev section and cleanrom 1.5. I put cleanrom on my desktop and renamed it to Rom.zip. I started the aio tool which has a button for sideloading a Rom. Boot the phone into recovery and plug it into your pc. (I am assuming you have the HTC drivers installed) From TWRP click on advance and the adb sideload. Then click the side load button on the aio tool. This will attempt to reboot your phone first but since you're already there just close the command prompt that comes up. A new window will come up for you to chose the zip. Navigate to your desktop and pick the zip you put on the desktop (longer paths seem to cause issue with sideloading). Then it will push the zip to your phone. The command prompt on your pc will have a percentage progress. Once done just flash that zip like normal.
I had to reboot my phone using the volume down power button method before I could get back to twrp and the install froze once in Aroma. But I just flashed it again and it worked. Once I got it back I just put my backup back on the phone, booted back to twrp, and restored my backup.
Sorry if this seems unorganized, had two toddlers crawling all over me while. typing. Using the AIO should work

[Q] How to install androwook

Hello,
Since my tf201 was getting really slowly I was thinking of putting a custom rom on it, since those are faster(?) than the stock rom. I found out that androwook is a pretty decent custom rom so I wanted to install it, only 1 problem. I have 0 knowledge of this 'Rooting, flashing, fastbooting..." The instructions on how to install it is useless to me. I managed to unblock it by using the asus tool, but thats as far as I got. I have absolutely no idea what to do now, is there any guide on this forum for noobs instead of experts of how to root and install custom roms?

If you don't rename it. Then the command should be look like this "fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf201-JB.blob"
Now you can flash the rom you like and enjoy it

Wont flash RUU after relocking.

My buddy handed me his Amaze to unroot and get back to stock so he could give to his mom. I used the All-in-One kit to relock the bootloader and flash the "mainver fix" and followed the instructions step by step to get back to stock but am now stuck. When I try to install the stock RUU it says the hboot version is older and asks if I want to reboot. Ok, so I tried flashing a newer version of Hboot and am now on 1.93.0002 but same outcome. Now, even worse, I can't get to recovery nor will it let me flash an img to get a recovery in place so I only have the bootloader now. It see's the IMG and loads it but doesn't ask to accept the update like it normally would. No matter what I name it, nothing loads or flashes. Whats the next step?
Have you tried using adb to flash the ruu?

Yeah I was at work and didnt have ADB setup on my comp. Went home and used ADB and was fine, thanks for the reminder!
In case anyone ever stumbles onto this issue, this is what you need to do.
Go to your ADB folder in your C drive and paste the RUU file. Name it something easy to type, in my case I changed it to " PH98IMG ". Then, open a command prompt and type EXACTLY as follows:
