I am rooted and adb sends the command to reboot into recovery but i get the dead android every time. The lg recovery image is on the internal and sd card root. What gives?

Freegee boot loader unlock comes with recovery. Can you not boot into that?What recovery are you trying to install? Did you make sure the download wasn't corrupted or something? What error did you get? Can you put more details in your next thread?

i have tried the latest version of twrp and cwmd from the nocturnal video on you tube. did not get any errors, just the dead android after adb attempts to reboot into recovery or boot loader.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9TYRJVyk6E
i think i have figured it out. must run boot loader unlock and DO NOT USE ADMIN rights when executing the batch file. That did the trick however, unlocked and have CWMD installed.

Can I root wirelessesly? I ask because my phone is fc ing on a lot of apps and after I flashed this last rom I lost my recovery...? It wont let me boot into recovery to flash a backup so I was hoping to root , install rom manager, and flash cwm recovery and do a full wipe restore.
If there are any other suggestions im all ears because im out of town until Friday morning and can't install anything on my work cpu or I would install fastboot etc.

you shouldn't have to install anything on the computer, you would only need to download the files
What files exactly and how do I install it without being able to enter android recovery ?

Just download adb with fastboot from google if you don't already have it, restart your phone into fastboot, open cmd prompt from computer and follow commands to install romracers recovery in his thread under development. This only works if your unlocked btw. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500

Make a live Linux CD/flash drive and boot to that if it allows you to. Then try the Linux versions of adb/fastboot.

I'll see if I can figure that out because Im not up to date on linux and how it works... As the days go my system seems to be getting worse.

So I have tried everything to no avail. It seems like the phone is getting worse day by day...
I wish I could root from the phone not tethered some how so that I could install rom mgr and flash cwm recovery and access my backups, or be able to fastboot somehow, or find some way to install a recovery without tethering to access my backups!!
Im worried my phone will explode over night...lol
I don't understand how you lost your recovery without root... and you would have to be unlocked to write to the recovery partition, yes?
Find a windows computer that you have admin rights too, download the Motorola Drivers and Fastboot.
Presuming you are unlocked:
Boot your phone to Fastboot mode by Powering off the device; pressing the power button and depress hold the down volume key until a little words say RSD something; then use the down volume key to navigate to Fastboot; then press the up volume key.
Then connect the device do the computer and reference this thread to install a new CWM recovery.

This last time I flashed, something must have been left inside the phone that the current rom did not like.
The rom itself is supposed to be rooted and unlocked the phone itself is still unlocked, but superuser permissions won't be granted to any application and when I try to enter android recovery it seems like it's going to work but all it does is boot the phone back up without the radio working.
I have ben trying to find a cpu for 3 days now so I can do just that. I'll be home tomorrow and should be all good.

Hello!
so I just unlocked my boot loader for my Verizon Droid DNA, I am using this forum page and his software that the person created ( [email protected]'s HTC DROID DNA ALL IN ONE KIT. here is the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000896 and my question is. when I select TWRP 2.4.0.0 in the software all comes up is the command prompt and no where on the forum or on the app tells me how to run the root for my DNA, if someone so kind to tell me what the command prompt to run the TWRP root in this app. also someone said that I need to run the perm root after I root the phone, is that correct if so what is the command script to run this as well.
THANKS!

correct I see the TWRP in the recovery folder in the where the app is located. so far I just got my bootloader unlocked so I can root the phone. I also hear that clockworkmod recovery is a better root than TWRP but cant find a good forum walkthrough for clockworkmod.

I personally like twrp, but it really doesn't matter. I'd reccomend you try both and see which one you like. But anyway,
download a recovery to your computer.
Put your phone into fastboot and connect it to your computer
Open a command prompt where the recovery image file you downloaded is located(shift right click, open command prompt here)
Type "fastboot devices" to make sure your computer sees your phone
Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", but replace the recovery.img with whatever the file was named.
Now you should have a custom recovery. Which will allow you to install a superuser package so you can have root access on pure stock. And it also lets you flash custom kernels and roms.
If you had any issues just post what the issue is.

yes. I am in fastboot on my phone when I run the command. so what I did was I pulled the file TWRP out of the folder and put it in the same folder where Fastboot app is at and then rename from TWRP to Recovery.img and then ran the command and again and it was done in like 2 sec and all it said its finished. so I rebooted my phone and download Superuser and also tired to download an rooted app but still doesn't seem to work... and superuser is complaining there is no kernel....
What happens when you run superuser?
Maybe provide a screenshot.

I think that since you don't have a /system writeable kernel you'll need to flash it. Download the zip from here and flash it.

Or you can download the file from your phone. In the recovery it will appear in "downloads", and you should just be able to flash it from there.

heres what you do
download the zip to your phone
reboot your phone and hold volume down, this will get you into bootloader
select recovery, this will get you into the recovery you flashed via fastboot not to long ago
now in the recovery click on install, select the zip you downloaded, and install it
after this is done reboot your device

When i go into recover the "teamwin" logo comes on, the it promps me to to a menu which seems as if it would work with touch screen... when it says install it will not allow enter any option its almost as if its frozen and the touch screen does not work.
After a lot of searching i think i figured out what it was you were trying to say to me. I did what you said using TWRP the picture shows what happened after i opened the cmd window and typed the command. TWRP freezes up when i go into recovery. Am i doing something wrong?
Replace nameofrecovery.img with the actual name of the file, more info here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112
You may have the wrong twrp image installed to your phone, I can think of a good reason why it freezes on you. So when in recovery you can not press any option? If this is the case I would look for a new copy of twrp specific to your device, check md5sum, then flash it with fastboot
fastboot erase recovery

Yes it gets stuck in recovery... i cannot use the touchscreen at all...
i downloaded the newest twrp copy... i downloaded md5sum and i have no idea how to use that even after looking it up and searching through youtube. i have the new ".img" file on hand... i just need to find out how to erase the old one in order to install the new one and see if it works
here is the CMD screen
this is what happens when i open "minimal adb and fastboot" and type in the commands you sent me... the top one that says failed, is when the phone is in the fastboot usb screen... when it says waiting for device... the phone is just turned on
Being you are s-on (can confirm if you write down all info on phone when in bootloader mode) you probably don't have permission to erase recovery but you should be able to just overwrite it, so just
fastboot flash recovery twrporwhatever.img
Also I believe there is a way to gain s-off with your phone, once you get all this down than I suggest doing that but first get the proper recovery
Oh and there are many ways to check md5sum (just Google for one if the one I linked you isn't working) this just makes sure you had a good download of a file, a good idea to do it but not need

That is the wrong command.

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
