Hi,
Does someone know how to flash recovery.img without using fastboot? I've tried the command "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img" but it returns an error...
Thanks

The command should be:
Code:
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-red-photon3.img
you have to include the .img file extenstion
Hi everyone,
So after deciding whether to do it or not, i finally unlocked my BL yesterday. At least when i dial the secret number and look at BL info, it says "UNLOCK".
But I've been trying to flash cwm and rooting but it seems my device is not being recognised in cmd.
And i am having difficulties to install fastboot drivers again because my device is not showing up at all in device manager.
If you could kindly list some simple instructions on how to flash cwm and rooting on unlocked BL (Before you ask, yes i went through all the guides with no avail) or help me to install flashboot drivers properly, it would be appreciated.
Thank you and good day.
EDIT 1: I can boot in fastboot mode, But when i do adb devices, driver installation fails and thus the command for flashing cwm says "waiting for device" and never flashes.
EDIT 2: From what i have searched from previous posts , i need to wait 30mins, I will do that and report.... Hopefully it will work
If you can boot into fastboot then do fastboot devices, adb devices are commands in adb mode, not fastboot mode, instead of flashing through adb use fastboot flash , hope I help!

Sorry,
I actually did what u said.
But when i type the command (in cmd) : C:\Android>fastboot devices ---> The command is accepted and there is a driver installation which fails.
Even then i continued and typed : C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-p760.img
But with the second command, it simply says "waiting for device" in the command window, but nothing happens.

I have Z2 D6503, I had once rooted and installed recovery on my phone and left it that way, few days ago I tried to install a rom from recovery, phone wasn't booting to recovery, since then I tried any guide to root and install recovery even till version 17.1.2.A.0.314. and none was working, anybody had this problem?
what can I do to fix it, the phone was already formated from data so any solution is a good one,
thanks in advance, Amir.
U can try entering fastboot and boot into custom recovery without flashing it by using command:
Fastboot boot recovery.img
After command success the phone will reboot to desired recovery automatically.
Where recovery.img is the name of the custom recovery file, then flash custom firmware from the recovery.
Enjoy.

found one, but I get an error:
Code:
downloading 'boot.img'...
FAILED (data transfer failure (Unknown error))
finished. total time: 0.003s
not boot.img, recovery.img
download twrp recovery image from their site, and use that one. boot.img is the kernel not the recovery

I believe in this case if u used command:
Fastboot flash recovery boot.img
It will work, I think the recovery u are trying to boot is twrp,
If u got an error that the image isn't a boot image or something like that, redownload the recovery and try again.
Recently, i was on bootloop ... i tried to flash my original recovery and fastboot. But, i accidentally execute the wrong command... Now there's no way i cant get to bootloader or flash something again, any other ways?
A lot more info needed, what device, what was command, etc
The more info the more accurate the help
Tell us more info about the device.
Can you flash anything through ADB or using fastboot?

ASUS ZENFONE T00J, LOLIPOP 3.23.40.52 , Yes i can connect via adb from recovery... but i cant fastboot, the bootloader is the only way to use fastboot.

i flash, fastboot flash boot recovery.img , it should be flash recovery recovery.img
You changed you kernel to a recovery.IMG, try and find a flashable.zip of your boot.IMG and flash via twrp
Although I'm not familiar with this particular device it should allow you to boot to bootloader regardless of kernel, at least any device I have used does this
Is the recovery a custom recovery? If so does it have an option to reboot to bootloader?
Otherwise try
adb reboot bootloader

So, i flashed the recovery*TWRP) to bootloader that made the bootloader changed to recovey, i tried to REboot to bootloader but it always came to TWRP, i boot to recovery it came to asus recovery
.
Boot is the kernel, so there is a chance you are still OK
Try flashing original firmware through factory recovery
http://support.asus.com/download.as...ne 5&p=39&s=1&os=32&hashedid=96nqlxHp1VKV4Rdz
I tried to flash the same firmware via ADB sideload, but it said " Only with android 4.4.2 that you can updrage to android 5.0. E:Erron in /sideload/package.zip (Status 7).
It looks like there are downgrade instructions in each firmware download, try this method out
Hi, I'm having a problem with a Mi A3: while executing this command

I tried also to flash it but I get something like

Any thought on how I can fix it?

1) there is no recovery partition. Boot partition contains kernel and recovery.
2) Mi A3 has broken bootloader and command "fastboot boot image.img" doesn't work. You have to flash the boot image if you want to use it (and then flash previous image back if you don't want permanent custom kernel/recovery).
Thanks to both of you! `fastboot flash boot <image.img>` worked!
