Just in curiosity ive seen rooting and flashing done on prior devices with terminal emulator right from the device itself!
Anyone think it be possible to apply cwm recovery zip or. Img file from terminal ?
OR root from terminal.. its been done with a few htc devices
Im just wondering if i tried moto- fastboot commands from terminal if it would flash romracers cwm recovery??

As long as you have the flash_image binary on your phone you'll be able to flash a recovery image from Terminal Emulator.
Ok so if i have the clockwork zip extracted into sdcard external using androzip which now shows recovery.img 4.7mb file in my download folder Instead of using cmd from windows laptop.
Now does moto-fastboot still apply since id be trying this from the device? Cause when u do it on a computer moto fastboot has to be in same folder as the recovery.img
What would be the proper command prompts to apply in terminal to flash the cwm recovery?
Im not all that good with adb or terminal unless i see command lines in front of me ..In the past i have rooted my old mytouch 4g when i was with tmobile right from terminal..

First you have to download the Android SDK.
Unzip your downloaded and compressed files in a directory you can easily find.
Then you have to open your prompt commands, and go in your SDK tools folder by giving right commands.
"cd [drive:] [path]".
This is what i have to do in Ubuntu, Linux.
Shorter way:
And that's a tutorial if you're using Windows.

hey all,
well i unlocked my bootloader okay.. i used the android super toolbox (.bat file) and choose to flash a recovery.img i choose the Amonra option but it installed CWM recovery instead...and now I cannot get Amonra to succussfully flash, so that I can root. Any help?!
Reboot boot loader and use fast boot to flash amon ra. I think its called recovery.img and its in the tools folder of that tool. Put it in the folder you have adb and fasboot and then while in boot loader do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

i did
fastboot flash recovery "nameofrecovery"
i even used the CleanFLASH tool and still no luck
Make sure you're in fast boot mode and you can see in the command prompt it sent it
So go to boot loader then click on fastboot

When you did "nameofrecovery" did you put. Img at the end? "Nameofrecovery.img"

Make sure you add .img to the end of the recovery file name. I forgot once and got an error.

This is kind of wrong... I'm assuming you've CD (changed directories) to the platform-tools in order to use fastboot. With that being the case, you'll want to specify the "path of the recovery" not the "name of the recovery" + .img of course.

to verify
CD /
CD/ Root (where i have all my adb stuff)
CD:/Root fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.13-gnm.img ??
can i rename the file to simply amonra.img?

You are placing the recovery image in the same folder correct ? but yes that would be the correct path. I don't know why you would change name as long as you are typing it in correctly.
I always change the name to make it easier to type. Example: cwm-touch.img or recovery.img. I never leave it all crazy like "clockwork-vigor-5.5.1-recovery.img"

I got it! Go to system devices on your PC and make sure you have the drivers installed correctly. This happened to me with my nexus.

I just did it though ubuntu.... god i love linux lol thanks all for ur input
i did notice this on the hboot screen
Open DSP v10.6.0.7611.00.0919
maybe that was there before, but i just noticed it. anything in the name of S-Off!
What is the error you are getting?
The phone is in fastboot, yes? It says "fastboot usb"?
Are you using a folder named "Root" or do you just have your stuff all loose in root? I would keep it in a folder, name it whatever you like, android or something. Put everything you need in there, including the recovery zip file.
Open cmd prompt.
cd c:\android
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
That should do it. I've attached a pic of what I have in my folder which is all you need in there.

Hi.
Where do you have your fastboot.exe file? Remember to put boot.img at the same folder that you have your fastboot.exe.
Then open an dos window(cmd) and make sure your phone are in recovery mode(fastboot mode) Turn off the phone and hold down the voulme up/+ then plug in the usb cable. You should have a blue light on your phone.
Then open the dos window and type:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But before all this, you have to make sure your phone have unlocked bootloader.
Yes you can do it with flashtools.... But 1st u need to connect ur phone in fastboot mode.... Then open flashtools then click fastboot in flashtools...

As the title, how to fastboot kernel.elf?
You just change .img for .elf
You must put kernel.elf in the folder where do you have the sdk of Android ( and so also fastboot.exe). Then you connect the XU on fastboot mode to the Pc and open a prompt-Windows command in the folder where do you have kernel.elf. On the Windows command write this: " fastboot.exe flash boot kernel.elf" Wait until all is done et voilà

Do one thing change that name of file to something simple I.e. Kernel.elf
The main problem is you are typing the wrong command
If your kernel name is kernel.elf
Then the command to type is
fastboot flash boot kernel.elf
And then press enter....
