I flashed pudding on my 1.83 ATT atrix. This worked fine, and I am trying to get CWM for unlocked bootloaders now. I am following the instructions directly from the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
Problem is, after extracting the zip to C: and running "fastboot flash recovery C:\(image name).img", I get "fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command..."
This leads me to believe that I don't have adb set up properly. I have standard adb set up for pushing apk's, but am I missing something specific for fastboot?
All i have under android-sdk-windows>platform-tools is adb.exe adbwinapi.dll and adbwinusbapi.dll. I DO have USB debugging on lol.
I seem to remember having more stuff under platform tools at an earlier date. All the threads for setting up adb are LONG buried, and after exhaustive searching, I finally gave up and decided to post (at least not in dev ). Even turning to google for adb help, I only get a bunch of the ad-farming tip websites that are outdated.
Please help me out guys. I can usually help myself after enough research, but I admit defeat on this one :/
Thanks much,

If your on linux it's "./moto-fastboot" not just fastboot.
Windows 7 64 bit. sorry, should have specified.
Nobody with win 7 knowledge/advice?
Alrighty, let us see here...
Try this.
1: Create a folder named fastboot (or whatever you prefer, just something simple like that) on the root of your C drive.
2: Download this file, http://www.mediafire.com/?yl17mz8l7w9h687
3: Unzip contents of said file into the folder you created in step 1
4: Click on Start, type cmd into the bar at the bottom and hit enter
5: Type cd C:\fastboot (or whatever you named the folder in step one)
6: Type moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img
That should work. The recovery included in the flash is current AS OF THIS POST. Obviously, the instructions will change if you download a newer copy of CWM as they are released, since the filename of the recovery file will change.
If you are wondering why it is moto-fastboot, the fastboot I included is the modified one that allows for larger img flashing. Not particularly useful anymore, with CWM working well now and all... but hey.

Make sure you have all your drivers installed, if you had them before, make sure you are using the same usb port.
Also make sure your phone is on usb debugging.
You can also run afterupdate bat file. (not needed)
Also download the zip file from the post above. or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1139715
Take that folder and extract it with winrar or whatever you use and put the folder in your C drive.
Also make sure your phone is on usb debugging.
You can also run afterupdate bat file. (not needed)
Anyway extract the folder to your c drive.
open up cdm and you will see this
C:\Users\Your Name>
Now this is what you will type , your screen should look just like mine as long as you havent changed names of anything.
C:\Users\Your Name>cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Then type this
cd C:\moto-fastboot
moto-fastboot flash boot atrix-2.3.4-hktw-boot.img
moto-fastboot flash system atrix-2.3.4-hktw-system.img
moto-fastboot -w
moto-fastboot reboot.

Hi this is a simple program i made to flash new Kernels/Roms Super easy
all you need to do is download the file and place it on the C drive Make sure you READ THE READ ME FILE to set this up correctly
I made this program because i havent had any luck with the FlashImageGUI.apk
and i was tired of opening a cmd prompt and entering all the commands one line at a time so i made a program that does all that for you and it has onscreen instructions if you dont know what to do so give it a try and tell me what you think
PS if someone makes a video of it i will put it in
Download Link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XDR5MLTF
I'll give it a shot.
This would be better if you:
Started off with adb reboot bootloader as this will reboot the device into fastboot mode for you
Didn't fastboot flash the recovery every time you run this as seen on line 5
Changed line 4 to "cd .\Evo3DTwrp" so that it would work from any location instead of just C:\
There's also no need to wipe cache / dalvik twice and it puts more wear and tear on your emmc
But a good first attempt.

I dont understand what youre saying about having to type a lot of command lines to flash correct with 1.5 all i do is navigate to my sdk i copy everything from platform-tools to tools folder. And that is where put my recovery.img, another simple trick if you have a winrar or whatever you prefer this is where you can bypass all those command lines by simply navigating to your folder where you have your recovery.img when you get there hightlight it hit shift rightclick it gives you a option to open command line there very simple. from there you can simply type adb reboot bootloader, then one more command fastboot boot recovery.img then you can wipe and flash so only 2 simple commands. And remember to have your recovery.img in the tools folder or where ever you navigate to get to it, but me i prefer copying everything from flatform-tools to tools folder

Hey mkeller96 its KillerDroid96 of wait we are the same person lol. KillerDroid is my new profile for development. I have to make posts to reach the minimum so I can create a thread.
I miss having these cool little unlock rings. I made this tutorial when I was 16.
Hey guys,
Been searching trying to find out if it's possible to use the one-click root with a mac but can't find anything. Can someone point me in the right direction to help me root the Rezound since I only have a mac? Thanks.
The long and the short of it is that you need to supplement the windows commands with Mac/Linux commands. I'll put up my port of it this weekend...I've been meaning to do it anyway.
if you install AmonRA recovery one option is to root the rom your currently using (aka stock rom with an unlock, all other roms are rooted already afaik) put this on the root of your sd card and install with hboot, or pull the recovery from the .zip and flash it in fastboot (put the recovery.img in same folder as your fastboot.exe and run the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
If you want to root than I'm assuming you are already unlocked correct? If so I would read post #1 in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20833039
Use the Amon version and follow the directions to the exact letter. It was very quick and very easy to do but if you are new to rooting, etc. read very carefully Especially when it comes to the naming of the file and the exact spot to place it on your sd card.

Nice this looks simple enough. So basically all I need is to Unlock via HTC, flash Amon recovery and use it to intall su? I had a Tbolt which I rooted with a mac but involved a variety of commands. I guess since HTC unlocks the bootloader, this is no longer needed. Simply flash a recovery with hboot and obtain su access?
after you flash to amonRA recovery you go to developer menu and choose install su and superuser (not sure why but i remember someone saying DO NOT use the eng unguarded SU)
Cool yea I read that too.

Right, but if you are not unlocked do some reading up on that first. You will need to download the sdk from Google. Then basically you
1. unzip it / move it to your root os x drive and I normally rename the folder to just sdk to save on typing
2. Double click on the android file inside of the /tools folder
3. Under tools download the Android SDK tools and SDK platform
Once you have the SDK installed and tools installed it's basically just a matter of CD'ing to the /platform-tools and then you can run fastboot and adb
There are a couple of cheater .zips out there that just contain the necessary adb and fastboot files for Mac that works as well. When you see instructions on how to do something using windows it's going to be pretty much the same. Just remember for most things you are going to have to add a ./ to the front of the command.
It sounds and looks harder than it really is but you need to make sure you really read up on this stuff before jumping in Don't be afraid to experiment but just have a failsafe backup plan. And if you are not sure about something ask first

I second this. I just use a folder with a adb and fastboot-mac in it and make sure I cd the folder with it in terminal. As long as you use the ./ in front of the commands in terminal and have these files in the folder you cd to you will be
good to go. Just remember that you have to use ./fastboot-mac. The first time I did it I kept.forgetting to put the Mac part on lol. Good luck!

Please help. I just want to reset to anything that will work. I have access to CWM. I have deleted all backups (I know...) I have WSG Rom and Wooky (which doesnt like CWM) on the internal SD card. I can't stop getting bootloader loops. I have made some mistakes trying to fix this. I just want anything (ADB or whatever) that will get me to a working tablet. I know this is vauge, please help. WHen I flash WSG it goes to the ASUS screen with the circle that keeps flashing as it rotate- not the image below. I have tried reading about fastboot, which I can enter, but I am unsure how to use it.

No this is an easy fix after you do a bit of reading! You need to fastboot flash TWRP and then WIPE and then push a rom to your device through adb.
You'll find TWRP in the development section, I'm guessing your on the stock bootloader (not androidroot), if so read back a couple of pages in the thread and you'll find a link to their older versions. On the first post you'll find a link to their website where you'll find instructions to fastboot flash their recovery.
Also in development section you'll find a thread called How To Un-Brick Your Prime. In there you'll find downloads and instructions for both ADB and Fastboot.
Reading a bit through these post you will learn alot and easily unbrick your device now, and the next time your in trouble.
Hope this helps....
I suggest you go here first http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1426502 download and install naked drivers
Then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1774352 download and unzip nvflash
Then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1615990 download twrp and place it inside the nvflashpack directory where you see adb.exe
Then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1782413 download EOS 3
or
Go here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32357-rom...ckbean-2-8-15/ and download bakedbean 3
Put either one in the nvflashpack directory where adb.exe is or if you have an external sdcard, load a rom onto it (preferred method)
I am not a fan of cm10 though it has some nice features I wouldn't start with it...
Now the hard part....
Go here and follow the instructions http://androidroot.mobi/t3_nvflash/
As per the instructions put your prime in fastboot mode...
to you start a command prompt, open the nvflashpack directory where adb.exe is. Press and hold shift while right clicking in the window, select open command prompt here
When the instructions say to enter a command, highlight it on the webpage and copy then in your command window right click and paste (control V does not work here)
Work your way all the way to the end until you see coming soon...
In the end you will have the modified bootloader required for the latest version of twrp (cwm doesn't work as well as twrp on the prime)
Now follow the instructions to install twrp this can be done through fastboot or through goo manager (download from market if you want to go the goo manager route)
Once that is complete with the prime still plugged into the pc, boot into twrp, now depending on if you have put the rom on an external sd card or not... if on sdcard, have it inserted before going into twrp, and install the rom from the card otherwise you can adb push the rom to the prime it will be adb push /name of rom.zip/ sdcard Note that the rom has to be in the same directory as adb.exe for this to work otherwise you need to type the path....for the name of the rom I suggest right clicking the file, go to properties and copy the name, then right click and paste in the command window... this eliminates mistakes.. and don't forget the.zip part.. the push will take about 5 minutes...
Then install the rom from twrp.....
I used to have a copy of Hasoon's tool, but I reformatted my PC a while ago and no longer have it.
I have a replacement for my son's broken phone, but I can't get it rooted or even install recovery because I get the Main Version is older error. I used to just use the tool, but all links to it have been removed from everywhere I can find. Is there anything I can do to get that back?

It is so simple to root the Rezound, there is no real need for an all in one tool just remember that it will wipe the phone...
1) Download the latest SuperSU.zip from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu and place it in the root of the SD Card
2) Unlock via HTCdev (instructions are all over the place, including at HTCdev.com) and verify booting and operation
3) Extract recovery.img from the latest TWRP package and place in adb directory
4) Boot into Hboot and then start Fastboot
5) Execute "fastboot boot recovery.img"
6) Install/Flash SuperSU.zip from Step #1
7) Reboot
Done... That's it, your rooted and no MainVer issues!
Although, I would keep it stock until it OTA's to the latest version... unless it is already 4.5.605.14, then you have to do it the way I mentioned, the all in one tool won't work due to Hboot being to new.
To add; you may want to install busybox as some root apps need it. Its simple as getting Stericson's BusyBox app and pressing install then rebooting.

3) Extract recovery.img from the latest TWRP package and place in adb directory
Does this mean create an adb folder on root of SD? What else should be in it? Sorry, not a noob just been a while since I rooted and I have to root\s-off a replacement. Thanks!

No... On your computer you should have installed ADB (Android Debug Bridge), this is what gives you the adb.exe and fastboot.exe files to talk to the phone and perform operations from your PC... The directory that contains these files (usually .\adb\platform-tools\) is where you copy this file... These commands are done on your PC and the recovery.img is pushed to the phone.
There are tons of guides on this that are literally step by step, even Youtube videos, no offense, bur if you don't comprehend some of these steps you might want to do some more research before continuing.

OK, cool. If you need more assistance, fell free to ask.
Just for future reference... avoid the "one click" tools, especially on the Rez, they are mostly out of date. Plus knowing how to do it manually is usually quite useful.
