From the command promt, type fastboot flash boot boot.img.
No need to write any thing but first you should have to setup the driver of your phone to your computer..... you will see that one in the device manager from the properties of your PC.

Thanks guys
Flashed Inteks Kernel V15 xD
I didn't know about the Shift R-click function
Worked perfectly

Btw if i up my Neo V to .42 firmware
will i lose root and CWM ?? And i'm guessing OTA updates and updates via all official methods wont work right ??
So flashtool or Wotan server ??
And again will i lose CWM an root ??
More importantly i got unlocked bootloader !
Thanks for your help

Fastboot drivers installed?
Where do get drivers?
Solution. Download flastool, install it, navigate C:/ Flashtool/ Drivers and install drivers.
And after that make restart your pc.
Edit: you can flash kernel with flashtool also, and its "must be tool for android fans"

You can try using FlashTool, it is easier to load new kernels than CLI.
Just open FlashTool, connect your phone in fastboot mode, then click on the flash/lighting icon, select fastboot mode, then select kernel to flash and navigate to the folder where you have the kernel image.

[Q] Decision Decision Decisions

Well i got a Neo V
-Rooted
-CWM
Now what i want is a custom Rom
The thing is all these ROMS require unlocked bootloader
So if i do unlock my BL then in the future will i get to upgrade my Neo V to ICS ??
I do NOT want to miss out on ICS one bit
Thanks for all your replies
I m new to this.
But hav studued well.
1st, unlock ur bootloader using testpoint method, this will mentain ur track id and drm.
I think this will also give chance to update ur officialy.
.
2nd, even if u unlock ur bootloader with official steps, u can use flash tool for flash ics ftf file, means u will get ics on ur phone.
But m not sure.

Is this only reason why nobody wants unlock their boot loaders?
Seriously?
TrackID = soundhound. Shazam?
Drm = does anyone using it anyway??

The new TrackID works on bl unlocked phones aswell. See my post in the themes and apps section.

No thats wrong way...
Lets take an example -
You want to flash recovery -
Command will be
Fastboot flash boot recovery(whatever name it is).img
The recovery file must lie in folder where you have the fastboot.exe
Note- fastboot boot recovery.img is only a temporary solution
And
fastboot flash boot recovery.img is a permanent solution

it's so easy,
Download your Custom kernel, put it into the firmware directory of flash tool,
*your phone must be in debugging mode.
run flash tool, Select fastboot mode, and click on flash, select your kernel. and click OK !
follow the on screen instruction.

Hm, I think that after
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
command you'll get only a hotboot or what is the name. Kernel wont be actually flashed for good. I always use this one:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Before you flash your brand new kernel ,you can check if your device is properly connected by typing:
Code:
fastboot devices
it should print out some info about device, sth like that:
Code:
FBXXXXXXXX
where XXXXXXXXX is some numbers. If this output is shown, you can flash your kernel
Maybe this is the easiest:
Assumed unlocked bootloader:
1: Download Flashtool and the kernel you want (for example the alliance kernel).
2: In settings on your phone: enable debugging and install from other sources. Then turn off your phone.
3. Connect the usb cable to your PC. Hold down the menu button (the one on the right) while you connect the switched off phone to the usb cable. Led should turn blue.
4: Open up flashtool.exe. Press the flash symbol located in the top left corner. Choose 'fastboot mode'>press 'select kernel to flash'(on the right side). Check if the log say okey.
5: Unplug. Turn on, and (if you chose the alliance kernel) tap volume down repeatedly to get to recovery mode, where you can install roms (zip files) from your sd card.

Nexus 5. Wiped the OS. Need Help.

Hello everyone.
I wanna start this by saying that I'm very new to all this rooting and custom roms.
So I rooted my Nexus 5 and installed multirom and a couple of roms, being the tinkerer that I am, I went to the recovery settings to mess with it, and I wiped the phone clean by mistake. Everything gone, even the OS.
Now I have no idea how to fix it, any help will be appreciated.

Boot into TWRP recovery and connect to your PC. Download a ROM from your development forums to your PC. You should see your nexus 5 internal storage listed on your PC. Drag and drop the ROM from PC to your internal storage. Flash ROM with TWRP, profit.

I don't know how you managed to wipe the recovery but here is how to fix it:
Download TWRP for nexus 5
Boot into bootloader, connect to pc and:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
if that doesnt work do this:

Make sure you have the TWRP.IMG somewhere where fastboot can find it, ie in your platform-tools folder. Open command prompt there by holding shift and right clicking in that location. Select open command window here. Then type: fastboot flash recovery (name of)recovery.img
I suggest renaming the TWRP IMG to either recovery.img or TWRP.img , remember, Windows will automatically add the extension so only rename it TWRP or recovery. Otherwise, you'll end up with a file named recovery.img.img
Then after renaming, you'd type:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img or if renamed to recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
