No, it is not possible to flash a boot.img without using a computer. You will need to boot your phone into bootloader mode and then using fastboot type the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash path/to/boot.img

R u trying to flash via fastboot?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
yes. i've tried flashing using fastboot and moto-fastboot but all results the same
I take it you DID rename it recovery.img, and you placed the file in the same directory as fastboot?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Yup. I really did. But still the results are the same

Okay so I flashed TWRP recovery. Then accidentally flashed cwm recovery VIA Rom manager. Now I can only get into recovery by booting the .img through fastboot. How do I fix this.?

have you atleast unlocked your bootloader is the first question...and if so easiest, do you have root access?... way i found to flash a recovery is like this:
have a fully charged battery
boot into your hboot screen and select fastboot
plug the phone into the computer with the data cable
once the phone is loaded open a terminal or ms-dos window
navigate to where you have the fastboot.exe command and make sure you have your new recovery as "recovery.img"
then type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and then let it write it to your phone then unplug it and reboot into your new recovery

first you have to write your recovery to that partition and like if you download teamwin recovery rename it to recovery.img etc....then you can boot into the new recovery
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(This will reboot you into boot loader)
Then to flash recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name.img
(Change "name" to the name of your recovery. )
Then you should be good.

If you are trying to flash 4ext, you can install the app and run it (see my signature). No need for adb.

Sorry if this is a "noob" question. Can you flash a custom kernel on rooted stock s on or do you need s off? I'm looking to flash a kernel for better battery life on stock rom with amon ra recovery. Answer appreciated.

Yes! You won't be able to flash it in recovery. But you can take the boot.img out of the zip and flash it in fastboot.
Noob again. Fastboot is via USB command prompt on pc? And just flash the boot img there? I'm not the greatest using that. But I can follow directions and read just fine. (Lots of people can't)

Yes, this is via command prompt on your pc:
Extract the boot.img to your adb folder then execute this command:
cd c:\(adb folder name)
then: adb reboot-bootloader
then: fastboot devices (this should return your phone's s/n to make sure you're connected)
then: fastboot flash boot boot.img
then: fastboot reboot

if anything make sure fast boot is turned off
have you tried to get into fastboot and enter recovery that way?
i had this same problem when i used Goo Manager
i had to reflash a Recovery to work
if anything. try plugging your phone into the computer and using CMD try "adb reboot recovery"
if anything you might want to just try flashing a new Recovery.img

Sorry I should add that when I try to get into recovery it goes to the red triangle. But I'll try running the command as well. I've tried fastboot to recovery, apps that boot to recovery.

You need to flash your recovery again. Somehow it is back to stock. Did you upgrade firmware? Anyways, plug phone in
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp"or whatever".img
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery

I reflashed a recovery through fastboot, flashed the new Rom and then it boots, but when I try to get back to recovery after new Rom I get the triangle. I've tried two different recoveries and two different roms!

That is the wrong command.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot is flashing recovery as your rom, then it is loading and you are loading a new rom which overwrites the boot.img you just flashed therefore never having a recovery. every time you flash "fastboot flash boot *.img" it is killing your rom. flash recovery properly and reinstall rom
