my phone is bootlooping and i need to do this : On your computer, open up a command prompt. Navigate to the folder that contains your recovery.img. Then do "adb reboot bootloader" (w/o the quotes). Then do "fastboot boot recovery.img" (or whatever the name of your recovery.img is...it may not be 'recovery.img'. If it's twrp2.img, or whatever, type that). That should boot your phone into recovery, and from there you'll be good. Your boot partition will be flashed. So try booting to recovery that way and then try restoring a nandroid. If that doesn't work, boot to recovery the way I said, and try flashing a rom from scratch, after a full wipe of course.
adb doesnt pick up my device

Check your other thread. I answered this question there.

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.
Here is a batch file I have made to do a couple things for an HTC EVO 3D through adb. NO NEED TO INSTALL ADB!!!
It gives you three choices, either reboot to fastboot, which can supply you with a command prompt, reboot to recovery through fastboot, (YES, HBOOT 1.5 USERS CAN USE THIS TO FLASH TO THE BOOT PARTITION, THIS INCLUDES KERNELS, AND RECOVERIES). Or to just ADB reboot (comes in handy for Freezes or Lockups).
To avoid any frustration, I have included adb and fastboot in the folder (NO ADB INSTALL).
I have not included a recovery image, so you will have to download one of your choice, place it in the folder, and rename it to "Recovery.img" (NO Quotation Marks). If a recovery doesn't boot, no worries, this doesn't flash it, just places the recovery in a temporary partition to boot, your current recovery will stay intact
DON'T WORRY, IT SOUNDS MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT IS, YOU GET USED TO IT.
1. Unzip to any folder on your computer
2. Copy your choice of recovery (Recovery.img) to folder
3. Run "Reboot.bat"
4. Make your choice of Fastboot, Recovery, or Reboot
a) If you choose Fastboot, you have the choice of opening a prompt for manual fastboot commands. Choose yes (Y) or no (N).
b1) If you choose Recovery, your phone will reboot into Fastboot
I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH, TO WAIT UNTIL THE PHONE HAS ENTERED FASTBOOT, BEFORE CONTINUING TO RECOVERY. No harm will be done to your phone, but it wont boot recovery unless "fastboot" gets the dang command...
b2) Press any button, AFTER your phone has entered fastboot. This will send the command to your phone to boot the recovery you placed in the folder, not the one flashed on your phone. (Good Way To Test Recoveries Before Flashing).
c) If you choose Reboot... UM??? Your phone will reboot...
5. YOU ARE DONE!!!
IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO OPEN THE BATCH TO EXAMINE IT, YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME. I JUST ASK THAT YOU DO NOT MODIFY OR COPY IT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.
I am currently in the process of making a batch that will flash the recovery as well.
MD5:603E2B5009E97350E922A49AFCBAAA78
New recovery flashing capabilities
I have added a recovery flashing capability to the batch, it has a lot of warnings, but it needs them... It just flashes the previously stated recovery.img, instead of booting a temporary recovery through fastboot...
MD5:5494B0BD03179332F9EBCA28D389A8A7
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.

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 ??

No, recovery is recoveryTWRP110.img
You need to place a copy of the img into your adb tools folder then run the commands

I'm a nitwit and tried to install a rom with s-on. I now get stuck on the HTC loading/boot screen and never leave it. I can access the bootloader, fastboot, and recovery fine however. Is there a way for me to get either s-off or boot my phone again?
Thanks
This is assuming that you're S-on and running Windows.
You need to install adb. After it is installed, open the command prompt and navigate to where you installed adb.
Ex: d:\phones\rezound\bootloader\andriod\
Next, open up your ROM and extract the boot.img file to where you installed adb.
Then, boot your phone into the bootloader and connect your USB cable.
Once you have fastboot usb displayed on the phone, enter this command into the command prompt and hit enter: fastboot flash boot boot.img
At that point, reboot the phone (fastboot reboot).
Or just use adb/fastboot and boot into recovery, extract the recovery.img file from your recovery of choice (Amon Ra, TWRP, CWM) and place it in the adb directory, then type "fastboot boot recovery.img" and flash the ROM again... doing fastboot boot recovery.img is in some ways giving you temporary S-OFF and will allow the rom to flash with the boot image. Also remember that on first boot, many roms will appear to freeze for 2-3 minutes or even longer in the boot process, make sure to give the initial boot at least 10 minutes before concluding something failed.
