So I was able to easily unlock the bootloader but when trying to install recovery I get the following: "error cannot load recovery.img" Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I have fastboot and recovery.img in same folder so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'd really like to install Kens rom and restore my phone to my liking.
First not a major issue your just not typing something right or not placed right
Lets do this !
2nd Please Remove install_recovery.sh located in your /system/etc/ ,so that the recovery will not be overwrite to stock one.
you dont HAVE to it will still work just wont have the stock recovery.
1st make sure the moto-fastboot or fastboot (they both work i have tested )file is in your c:\
you have to cd the drive first so make sure its in c:\ the commands on the guide for cwm needs
to be updated this will help you out.FYI make sure all the files are in one folder not the root drive
so name a folder (whatever) then cd that folder from cmd.
Dont use " " just showing you commands
Then go to cmd
"cd c:\moto-fastboot" or fastboot
click enter
then type "moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img" or fastboot
click enter
Should say writing\sending
Once your done and it completes
type moto-fastboot reboot or fastboot
enter
P.S. Depending on if your using fastboot or moto-fast boot
commands would be
"fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img" Fastboot
"moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-en-goapk-0630-1029.img" moto-fastboot
And if you were wondering
Moto-fastboot is for bigger files
fastboot is for smaller files
They both work because the recovery is in
the middle in size for both fastboots.
Everytime I try to it just reboots the phone. Im currently using cwm and have tried flashing the other recovery renamed as PH98IMG.zip and it will not overwrite it. Any help would be appreciated. I've also tried fastboot, guess I wasn't typing in the right command

fastboot command to flash a recovery. type "fastboot devices" to make sure your computer is seeing your phone in fastboot.
"Fastboot flash recovery nameoftherecovery.img" You will need to unzip the file and pull the actual image file out, and put it in the same folder your fastboot file is in.
I did that. I typed fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it doesn't take it
I want to flash the amon recovery on top of the cwm
The recovery image is named... recovery.img
What else can I do to get my phone into recovery ?
Have you tried "abd reboot recovery"?

in fastboot type "fastboot boot recovery.img" then it will boot straight into the recovery image that you want to load. It isn't permanent, but it can get you a working phone in the mean time
Hi, My phone is EVO 3D CDMA, unlock by HTC method, Hboot1.5 still S-ON
When boot into hboot, no go into recovery menu, can flash recovery.img by fastboot tool, but can boot into recovery,I use adb reboot recovery.

First download a custom recovery like CWM, TWRP or 4ext.
It should be .img file. Put it in the folder in which you have fastboot.exe.
Boot into hboot. Open command prompt and instead of adb reboot recovery , use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (file name should be recovery.img or change command according to the file name). Then type fastboot boot recovery.img. Recovery should boot now.
To make things easier just download free version from here (this will flash 4ext recovery) ----> http://4ext.net/
and install the latest or stable release. then adb reboot recovery will work.

I can use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to boot any recovery.img.
But can not boot into the recovery which flash by "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", when in android ,use command "adb reboot recovery", can not boot into recovery, and HBOOT still no recovery menu.
Before you started this process did you make sure to enable usb debugging from within your rom ?? Also did you make sure to uncheck fastboot in the power settings as well ??

Yes , I did disable fastboot in power setting, "adb reboot recovery", phone reboot an go into android, not recovery.
fastboot boot recovery.img to recovery:
/ # flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
error scanning partitions: No such file or directory

No, recovery is recoveryTWRP110.img
You need to place a copy of the img into your adb tools folder then run the commands
#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
I just wanted to know... If I ran "fastboot boot recovery.img", this would merely boot the recovery image and not install it right? And to boot into system I would just have to "fastboot reboot" right?
fastboot boot recovery.img (Boot into recovery)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (install twrp recovery)

yup, thats right. that boot command can be used to perform some quick commands, like resetting etc.
So if I want to keep my stock recovery I can just use "fastboot boot recovery.img" Is that correct?

Yes you are correct this command will just open your currently installed recovery but to flash the recovery you'll have to use the following command
Fastboot flash recovery recovery recovery_name.img
Why i can't flash TWRP even thought I unlock bootloader
When i boot into recovery it's say "No such file in directory"
I used to try rename recovery.img to twrp.img and run command on powershell
I was successfully to flash TWRP when i rename recovery to twrp. When i flash it's has error need password and i fix it by wide data
When i go to recovery mode, it's go to original recovery and i can't flash again
