Flash any Recovery .img File From Recovery
Snuzzo has asked me to post this recovery flashing tool. It will let you insert any recovery that you use (must me the .img file) into the zip with 7 zip and then have a flashable recovery installer.
This eliminates the need to fastboot flash recovery and makes changing back and fourth between them really easy.
THIS IS DEVICE SPECIFIC, ONLY USE ON DNA
NOTE: Make sure to name the file recovery.img
Instructions:
1.) Place the recovery.img of your choice into the folder named "recovery" (Hint: It Says "put.recovery.img.here" in the folder where it goes)
2.) Place the zip onto your sdcard
3.) Boot to recovery and flash the zip file
4.) Device will reboot, reboot manually if using TWRP and auto reboot doesn't work
This is snuzzos work not my own, I'm only posting it for him.

Nice work, but man I hate to see scripts written with dd of= hardcoded to an emmc partition. And to top it off there no assert to check device model.
So...if someone runs this on the wrong device...it will permabrick them.

Here is a flashable zip I created with Zarboz Unofficial TWRP 2.5 Beastmode 5.1 Recovery

MD5: 352b654194cc2b442f7b9f995e99ea90
Flashed and when in recorery it still indicates 2.4.4 at the top of the screen, should it be 2.5.0?
Hello, anybody home?
Yeah I need to make a zip with the update zarboz did that changes the version number. I'll do it shortly.

CWM allows users to easily install unsigned update packages. This will open up the Photon to pseudo-ROMs, all sorts of modifications, and more.
Forgive my ignorance but what is a "pseudo-Rom"?

Psuedo meaning "not really" a ROM. A locked bootloader will prevent true custom ROMs, but P-ROMs will be possible.
P-ROMs are based off of stock files and modifications. They don't replace the kernel or modem.
Yup i installed this and rebooted into recovery mode. It worked just fine for me. What happens if Sprint releases an OTA update? Can i recover root access or downgrade with this? Sounds like I can't because I can't modify the kernel.

Make sure your device is plugged into the wall charger when you do Reboot Recovery. That's the only way it'll work since it's a bootstrap recovery.

Can you explain why this is? I'm a little confused as to what makes a "bootstrap recovery" different from a regularly flashed "recovery.img".

Caveats:
This is not a *real* recovery. The way this recovery works is by hijacking portions of your boot process during system initialization and starting into recovery instead. So, if you hose your system *COMPLETELY* you will need to SBF. Specifically, if your logwrapper, logwrapper.bin, or hijack binary are missing from /system/bin, you will be screwed.
This is from koush himself concerning droid x/2 bootstrap. I would seriously wait til an sbf surfaces before flashing any of these "psuedo-ROMS" or even just deleting any system apk's. Just my opinion.

Is this "ClockworkMod" recovery, or something else? If it's CWM, what version?
So what specifically did this do to my phone? What files were modified to allow this to run at bootup? Anybody have any info on this (just in case I want to return my phone to stock.)

This is CWM bootstrap. Original one was on the Droid X, created by Koushik Dutta. Then it was ported to the Defy. Then to the Atrix. Next, the Droid X2. Now, the Photon 4G.
V2.5.1.8
Sbf is gonna be your friend when it comes to unrooting and restoring. It will pop up soon.

My cousin gave me his Thunderbolt.
I was able to operate the device fine. Then I did an OTA update. I wasn't able to complete the update cause I needed more battery. So I re booted and now I'm getting this screen.
When I re booted and hit menu it has an exclamation point symbol with an android on the screen in the back ground with Revolutinary CWM v4.0.1.4.
Now I'm stuck in this screen and can't get out.
If this phone is rooted why did you do an OTA? Turn the phone off and hold the power buton and power and volume down and see if you cant get in to recovery from the boot section. Most likely you might need to flash an RUU

I didn't know it was rooted or was attempted to be rooted. The OTA didn't go through I think because I was getting an error message saying I needed more battery.

The only options I'm given when I scroll is under Fastboot is...
Recovery
Factory Reset
Simlock
Hboot USB

Then select recovery and let me know what all options you have. If you can load roms. I would do a wipe and then install a new rom and see if that fixes your issue.
While in fastboot does it say s-off or s-on. If it says s-off you are rooted.

You can find roms in the Development section here at XDA, also at Rootzwiki, and my Rom is linked to my banner in my signature in every post.
There are quite a few options to choose from.
I suggest reading up on some of them and decide what may suit you best.
Assuming this is all very new to you, you may just want a rooted stock rom.

If you like sense rom sky raider is a great stable rom. It sounds like you are new to all this. Santod sense ICS is a good one to. Like said read up on the many different ROMs out there. Many are good ROMs.
Yeah WiFi tether is way better. Just ask how to set it up after you choose your rom. As the settings in that depends on you're rom. Main thing is your phone is fixable and not broken. Just don't do ota any more as its for stock unrooted phones.

Well, I'm new to installing stuff on this device, and I need a bit of help when it comes to this. Currently, I'm unlocked and rooted. I would like to get this guy running a new kernel and eventually a whole new ROM.
I want to get more battery out of it. Honestly, its been pretty solid so far, but I just want to get more.
So what do I need to do in order to install a new kernel? I just want to make sure I'm following whatever steps correctly. Also, I'm assuming there is a stock kernel I can go back to, yes?
Dsb's custom kernel:

Those sound extremely easy enough. I flashed the boot.img, but I misunderstood the instructions on the Flash Image GUI and I didn't have the modules.zip extracted so I had to boot the phone to unzip the file then install it.
Do you always have to do this with the DNA or if we get S-Off, will it be as simple as a Nexus device where it's just a zip you flash?

I just installed CWM Touch via Rom Manager, worked fine.
if you download a recovery.img file you can boot into fastboot "FASTBOOT USB" then do a "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and it will flash the recovery that you downloaded or use CWM or GOOmanager to have it auto install them
download goomanager go to settings and click install openrecovery script. This install TWRP which is much better and easier to use than CWM
Having a hard time...
Hey guys. I did the moonshine bit successfully, installed ROM Manager, and TWRP recovery. I have a couple of ROMs saved to my phone, and am ready to test drive one.

What I did is on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617921 and made it into a flashable zip, so I cannot take full credit for this.. Download is attached
As usual, take precautionary measures and make a nandroid.. I can't be held responsible for anything that you do with your phone.

1) Download zip
2) Move to internal or ext storage if downloaded from pc or other device

Yeah well I mainly made it for those that don't or don't want to do much modding.. This is an amazing device besides the sdcard permissions

Well you don't really need root just a custom recovery, and yes like twrp.. No PC intervention if you have twrp, just download the zip and flash

Just a question, would installing TWRP void warranty or anything like that?

That's opening up a whole can of worms, that have many variables. I tell ppl this when they ask installing a recovery or root etc etc.
Technically as soon as you root your device your warranty is void. Now, I'm totally against the ppl that don't read or know what they are doing, break there device and go crying to the carrier, claiming falsely what happened. The bottom line is, if you have a true problem and return that phone in the condition you got it, software wise, I see no harm no foul. JMO of course.

I'm not starting a argument or trying to derail this thread , I just have one question. Just for the sake of argument So, if you return a phone in 100% stock how could they complain? I've made a insurance claim because my home key on my note 2 fell out. I mailed it back with CM on it lol. They didn't say nothing. I'm sure if I handed it in personally ,it would of been a different story. I'm just curious how you feel about it.

Issue with flash
I have a Tmoblile rooted HTC one. I downloaded the file in the first post. It came through as a folder. So I zipped it up. I flash into recovery and use the install feature in TWRP v2.7.0.2. I navigate to the file I zipped up (file name HTCM8_sd-fix.zip) and flash it it fails at Error flashing zip /sdcard/HTCM8_sd-fix.zip' Updating partition details....
What should I be doing differently to get past this error?
