Right I unlocked my bootloader at htc devs.com and followed several instructions to flash clockwork mod. It appears to install in command prompt but when I go to recovery it just reboots the phone. any ideas which recovery I might need?

If you can boot into android, use joeykrims flash image GUI app, or use Rom manager to install the recovery. If u can't boot into android, put your recovery image in the same folder with fastboot. Then at your command prompt, while in fastboot usb, type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" replacing recovery.imgwith the name of the recovery you want to flash.
Also you can boot the recovery from fastboot with "fastboot boot recovery.img" replacing recovery.img with the name of your recovery image. Hope this helps.
When I was hboot 1.5, the only cwm I could get to work was 4.0.1.4

Ok, so i found an SBF and unlock went through successfully. I have installed a recovery and it wont boot into it. Not sure why. suggestions? ill update if i figure it out.
Which recovery? How did you install it? fastboot? If you fastboot it did you get a success message in your cmd prompt? Did you check the md5sum? loads of questions, need more info to help. playing tag between the two threads.lol. After you've checked the md5sum (if applicable) on your recovery, rename the recovery to "recovery.img" then 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' romracers cwm can be found here at samcripps atrix reboot project, you've probably already found the clockworkmod site, TWRP is also a good recovery as well.
Try installing TWRP Recovery. Just Google TWRP and then go to their homepage, then write in Atrix 4G and then download the .img, after you have done that put it in a directory with fastboot (and rename it to TWRP.img) and then write in
fastboot erase recoery
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
Well today i flashed buttered toast's kernel today, i got a bootloop so to fix that i went on command and did fastboot to flash the stock kernel to fix the boot loop (i've done this before and worked) now what i did was mistakenly i don't even know what was going through my head, i flashed the stock kernel as my recovery. So i wrote "fastboot flash recovery boot.img" instead of "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and so i quickly realized that and did it again except the correct way this time. Realizing that my 4EXT recovery was erased so after successfully booting up my cell i noticed i had wifi error, so i figured ill flash stock kernel again from recovery after i go through "fastboot flash recovery cwm.img" and flash cwm. That did not work, my phone just reboots to system. I do not know what to do. I cant get wifi to download a 4EXt recovery or cwm and flash it through system, but how could i without wifi even if fastboot recovery won't work?

Well i just got a newer version of recovery from clock work mod's website and i used command prompt to flash it and i got my recovery back, booted up my phone, flashed 4EXT recovery, then flashed a custom kernel with smart flash on and the wifi works now
Thanks for your help though!
see
i am noob here, so i need a little help.
after reading many guides and watching videos, i rooted my htc evo 3d gsm using htcdev method.
flashed clockworldmod recovery v 5.0.2.0
installed supersu v1.30
now my phone is unlocked with s-on
i did a nandroid backup
tried to install a custom rom by wipping all 3 datas
installed this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161968
but nothing happened.
i m still running the stock rom.
I found these instructions but couldnt understand them
Code:
- Extract boot.img from zip and put into your folden when you have fastboot.
- Put rom into sd
- Full wipe from recovery
- Flash rom
- Flash boot.img with an erase cache before and after boot flash
can anyone help me plz
thanx in advance
The easiest method available is to flash 4EXT recovery and turn on smartflash in options. this way you wont need to flash boot.img every time you install a rom.
If you still want to know what that guy was trying to say then read on.
during unlocking you must have used adb.exe and fastboot.exe files. you need to extract boot.img file from your ROM zip and put it in the folder where adb and fastboot files are located.
after that open cmd and navigate to that folder. then connect your phone in fastboot mode (turn off phone and hold power+vol down to boot into bootloader and select fastboot from menu)
the phone should now show "FASTBOOT USB". now enter this command in cmd without the inverted commas: "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
it should something like sending and write OK in cmd
then reboot phone.
P.S. that rom is very similar to stock rom with little visual differences. check in settings>about phone>software number.. if it shows skydragon3D then your rom flashed correctly
thank you so much man
I've tried everything I've found to get back to stock recover but I'm always greeted with red triangle. Only way to get to recovery back on line is to re-flash twrp. I've tried fastboot method, flasing new firmware, windroid toolkit... nothing works. I can't even flash CWM. So how do I get that damn leech out of my phone?
[edit]
Can't even flash twrp back on..so no recovery in this phone at the moment. Tried using goomanager, but it didn't do it either.
[/edit]
FIrst of all Which phone do you Have (Int) or At&t , now if you have a stock recovery backup then in that case you can just use fastboot to push the image or use "recovery tool " to push it to the boot partition.
In case you are looking for the int stock recovery for the International version of the HOX+

Stock recovery is not ment to do much , unless you have an official signed package to push. I feel you want to have a functional recovery like CWM , it can give it a go .

Problem is that I've tried flashing TWRP and CWM but neither works. Phone boots up ok otherwise, but recovery is gone. Recovery Tool and Goomanager tells that the recovery image flash was completed but it's not or then something else got effed up. fastboot mode works just fine as the hboot.
Tried using RUU, but that doesn't work either because it keeps telling me that the battery level is below 30% and its at 91%. I remember trying RUU few months ago and I ran into the same problem. Back then I tried resetting battery status but that didn't help.

I got the same problem with RUU battery stat
Flashing a kernel solved the problem
Flashing another kernel didn't solve that porblem.

Tried that as well..no go. Tried even fastboot boot recovery.img but the phone just turns itself off and doesn't load temporary recovery.

you are doing it wrong....goomanager and recovery tool CANNOT simply flash onto our devices,
you NEED to do ; fastboot flash recovery <insert recovery name here .img>

The fastboot method doesn't work. It does say that the flash was successfull, but there's still no recovery.... and besides, when I had stock recovery months ago, I actually did install twrp with goomanager, not with fastboot.
What I have tried:
1. fastboot flash boot stock_recovery.img with fastboot erase cache (red triangle)
2. fastboot flash boot twrp_recovery.img with erase (phone turns off when entering recovery)
3. fastboot boot recovery.img and twrp_recovery.img (doesn't boot to recovery) (phone turns off when entering recovery)
4. Tried using RUU but that hasn't worked for me ever (always the battery level below 30% error)
5. tried fastboot flash recovery and then flash boot and then erase (and first boot, then recovery) (stock and custom kernels)
6. numerous other ways I cant even remember anymore.
If there only were a rom with all the needed img files, I'd try flash all (or flashing them one by one) but haven't found any.

U tried every possible incorrect things.....and didn't even read Llior's post......
To flash a kernel the fastboot command is
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
To flash a recovery the command is
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
instead of this u had tried to write the recovery file in boot partition...
and the
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
is to enter into the recovery without even having to install it on phone....
and I haven't checked it in HOX+ so better flash the boot.img(Kernel) and recovery.img(Recovery) using the mentioned commands above. and erase the cache....(which you seem to do correctly)...

ok i'll base my assumptions here on you using windows, and you don't have filename endings turned on.
i'm guessing you are renaming the files and adding in .img which is a bad idea, as .img is actually there but hidden. if i'm wrong, then try flashing the recovery with the PROPER file name without touching it.
so for CWMR it would be fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
for twrp it would be ; fastbootflash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-enrc2b.img

I haven't actually renamed anything (just in here to keep it short). And that 1. & 2. was miswritten. I haven't done fastboot flash boot recovery.img but fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.
I have tried exactly that file you posted but it's a no go (also tried other twrp versions and come cwm's too as well as stock recovery image).
Ive tried it with All-in-one tool as well...The weird thing is that all fastboot flashes or with that allinone tool there are no errors ever, only successfull flashes.

Yup... But anyway...decided to try that twrp one more time with all-in-one tool, flashed okay but this time the recovery worked and I was able to flash working rom and boot.img. Phone works now, but this was the last time I try to remove twrp.
