Support the dev and buy, it makes everyone happy and it's a simple process. I'm going to trust that you're rooted already.

There is a guide stickied in general. This phone is locked, you can't just flash things out of the box.

Thx, of course i've read all manuals, but there is not saying that i need unlock to flash CWM. Thought there is the way to flash CWM without unlocking.

I really need help. I unlocked my bootloader through htcdev.com and I flashed clockworkmod then I installed a rooted stock rom. then I installed rom manager and it made me flash clockwork mod again to use it so I did that. Now every time I try to boot into recovery I get the htc white splash screen for about 20 seconds then the phone reboots and I get no recovery. Anyone that has any idea on how to help please do so I am really lost here.
Go into the phone settings under power and uncheck fastboot....that should help

I already had it unchecked, but I just checked it to see if anything would change and still nothing.

I would forget about using rom manager for now, just flash stuff manually in recovery. You're going to need to reflash your clockwork recovery, the one that was meant to be flashed with the htcdev.com unlock method. Also, I believe I saw someone post a TWRP that had been modified to work with the htcdev.com unlock method as well, so you could also search for that. Just download a PG86IMG.zip of the recovery you'll use, place it on your sd card, and then boot to the bootloader to flash the recovery. After that, you should be able to get back into recovery and restore a nandroid or flash a rom and start fresh.

Thank you for the help, I would hate to be a pain about it, but can you possibly point me to a walkthrough or tell me how to do that. Thus far I have only used walkthroughs on all of this stuff I am kinda shooting in the dark here.
I'm currently reverting back to stock as I got the nice little screen telling me that Verizon Wireless didn't like my unauthorized software.
I was looking through, but I didn't see much more than the rooting via Odin.
What is the best way to root and unlock my phone so this doesn't happen again?
Sounds like you need to Odin back to stock then follow Adams guide on unlocking the boot loader you will also gain root in the two part process.

Thanks, only now I'm only booting into the Teamwin recovery. I'm going to guess that I have to install a ROM now, but didn't see that as a step listed, and, well, quite frankly don't want to have to start over again because I flashed something I shouldn't have...
Is that what I need to do now? flash a stock rooted rom in recovery? Or did it all get screwed up again?
No that is right you are now ready to flash a rom it all went well if you ended uo with twrp.

You should probably back up first. To do this you need to go into recovery (twrp or clockwork mod). You can get to recovery by powering off the phone and holding volume-up+home+power. Now go to backup and restore back up. If you have an external sd I would recommend selecting the option to backup to it.
After that select a rom you want. If you want stock rooted you dont have to flash anything. Look in your app drawer if you see an app called supersu or super user you're rooted. If you want another rom follow these steps to flash it.
1. Read rom thread for known bugs so you know what youre getting into.
2. Download rom. DO NOT UNZIP.
3. Check md5 sum.
4. Move to external or internal sd where you can find it.
5. Boot into recovery.
6. Select install.
7 navigate to rom file.
8. Swipe to install. If it has aroma follow instructions if not wait for it to do its thing.
I've unlocked the bootloader of my Desire X, but whenever I try to install Android revolution, it gives me a bunch of errors saying the file couldn't be opened, any rom I stick on the SD has trouble being read by Nexus recovery , I've tried 3 other SD cards. Also after I rooted the phone, I still can't give applications such as Titanium backup root privileges because it says it couldn't find the root binary?
I've got Nexus recovery installed on stock 4.2.
I've also wanted to try other recoveries, is it as simple as flashing a new one through fastboot or do I have to do something else?
I really need help, so I'd be grateful for any you can offer me

If you are on stock 4.2, you also have HBoot 1.25, so maybe you can't install these roms because your HBoot it isn't 1.24 or lower.
Try to re-flash stock recovery, then flash neXus' again.
Or maybe it can be kernel stuff, did you flash the attached boot.img?

But the rom does say it is available for 1.25+
and do I have to flash a stock recovery? Can't I install another recovery (not stock) by using the fastboot command?

Also, is there a recovery that's sure to work with Hboot 1.25 JB?
If so, can I just flash that recovery over my current one?

Can you just provide help for me on here? I'd really appreciate it.
Here's my situation in case I wasn't clear in OP, I installed the Nexus recovery but it wasn't able to flash the rom I wanted, so now I want to flash another recovery, and was just wondering whether I could just flash another recovery on top of the old one or if I have to do something else?

Look in the 'Desire X Original Android Development' Section for a TWRP recovery for JB hboot. It's working great for me. You can flash it the same way you flashed the NexusRecovery (fastboot)

Yeah. You can just flash it over the NexusRecovery. You never have to go back to stock.
Okay, I just flashed TWRP over my current recovery.
I've tried to flash Sense revolution and it just fails through TWRP, why is this?
Wipe the phone and try again.
Maybe It can be because of MD5 verification. Only happens on that ROM?

Okay so I managed to root my phone using this method ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...m.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2116549
And root works. Now I want to get clockworkmod on my phone. I followed some steps on the internet and ended up getting my phone bricked. I managed to get it working again. Can someone please tell me what to do right? I used odin before and that was the cause of my bricking. So i'd rather not use that again.
I went to the clockworkmod/rommanger website and i found the s2 "Download Recovery" thing. If i flash this through the android recovery system will it work?
Help me out here.
Thanks in advance
What do you mean "I want to get cwm on my phone".
That file should root your phone and install cwm.
Are you getting confused because there no icon.
Dont use rommanager as that can have dire effects on a phone.
And next time put in ALL details about your phone;model,rom etc.

If you are having official stock 4.1.2 rom then go to settings/about phone and check your baseband and then Go to philz Thread you can search it on XDA . Choose the zip one flash it from recovery you will get CWM.

I mean , when I boot into recovery its the default android recovery. Not the cwm. Not sure how to explain it but even before i rooted my phone. I had to boot into recovery, and the default android recovery screen comes when you want to flash the zip. After that I re boot into recovery the android one comes, not the cwm. So yeah the icon or the blue-ish recovery screen doesnt appear

Ok,I know what you mean now.That used to happen with rachmats rooting method;a temp cwm was flashed,and when rebooted,the phone went back to stock recovery.
Several people in the know recommend using pc odin(think you said you didnt want to use it) because it is risky flashing stuff by other methods.If you use odin to do stuff,then that means it is ready to help you out if flashing by cwm or mobile odin goes wrong.

So what can I do? I dont mind flashing cwm with odin as long as I dont brick my phone again. I've already rooted, if i use odin to get cwm , will it cause problems? Is there no other way to get cwm without odin? Maybe flashing a zip?
Yes,Jeetu said earlier.

Hi im hoping someone can help me.
I rooted my phone using the easy root method, I had philz dual recovery and flashed a rom. I installed superSU from the play store (when I should have flashed it) and now I can't access my recovery. I've tried rerooting and reflashing using all three methods for installing the recovery and none are working. Does anyone have a solution to this, I've got a backup of my stock rom etc. but I cant access it or recover it without a recovery. Im pretty much lost on this, I posted in the recovery thread but it didnt get answered.

When you flash a rom when using a recovery for locked bootloaders then it deletes the recovery
You have to reinstall your recovery

Thanks for the reply. I've tried doing that but it won't work, I dont know if it has something with Superuser? it says it cant update the binaries. Either way I've tried all 3 options on the process to install the recover (install with SuperSU, Install with SuperUser and install on unrooted rom)

heres the link for NUTs download page, http://nut.xperia-files.com/ file your looking for is
Z2-lockeddualrecovery2.7.129-BETA.installer.zip (10.59MB)
this appears to be the latest version and is 17th link from the bottom of the right hand list
the flashable zip is just left of the installer
It should mean if u install a new rom and lose recovery just run the installer from windows and it should give u back recovery

Thanks, unfortunately thats what I have been using to try and regain recovery. Any other ideas? Im really struggling, I thought maybe if I unrooted and just re-rooted correctly it might help but I can't find an FTF file for my network I can only find unbranded which I very much doubt would work.
anyone?
I'm in the exact same position. I flashed monx 438 rom and I don't know what happened, I can't get into recovery either. I'm on unlocked bootloader. I have tried flashing the boot.img from 438 advanced stock kernel but at the command prompt it keeps on saying waiting for device. I have root access.
Same here.
I have a stock .402 ROM, unlocked bootloader and rooted. Have flashed the recovery a few times, and still cant get into it. Even when trying to access recovery via cmd prompt "adb reboot recovery"
I too am in the same boat... I rooted my phone, primarily to add the kitkat sd card fix, which works...
Then I went through the motion of unlocking bootloader, which I assume worked cos it wiped my phone clean. Had to reinstall everything...
Then I went through the motion of installing Cwm recovery. This went through OK. Well according to the command prompt it did.
But still I can't access recovery. I get no flashing LED lights before the Sony logo comes up, and then it just boots into normal phone mode.
I am on UK 3 network if it makes any difference......
I'd really love to be able to access my recovery cos I'm dying to apply the dual speaker and volume hack....
Don't know where to go from here..........
Just to add, I flashed to firmware 402 (uk unbranded) and re-rooted the phone and re-installed cwm recovery, but I get no led lights and no recovery mode. Oh well, just like a number one hit for 'the who', it was never meant to be....lol
sorry to resurrect but I have the same issue. how did you guys get back into recovery
I use a kernel with recovery
Vol up - cwm
Vol down - twrp
Cam key - philz
I can't flash kernol because I can't get into recovery even using the app to force boot
