So apperently
I accidently screw up while I tried to flash a new rom when I do a wipe
now my phone has TWRP 2.7 recovery and empty system and no way to us adb to push it since I couldn't get adb to work
is there anyway to turn zip roms into a img and flash it through fastboot using
fastboot flash system *.img
Please answer quick
Thanks
Nope better get abd to work. Not trying to be mean or anything but you really should have a working abd and know how to use it before you make modifications to your phone. What you can do is try installing pda net drivers and then see if abd will work after that. Then try abd push and push a rom and flash it. This is also why you make backups.

So as I've mentioned here my CWM won't boot now. Tried putting a new one on, then the old one, it just hangs at the start screen.
So I want to put on a new ROM which is made for CWM, which would be great if it worked, which it doesn't at the moment.
Is there any way to ADB or fastboot it onto the phone? Hell I'll use RSD lite if it will work.
You can use rsd but fastboot is preferable. Take the cwm zip and extract it then use fastboot flash system.img... etc make sure you wipe everything first

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 ?

Can you getvin fastboot? If so, do command
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
That should do the trick

I can get into fastboot on the phone but how do I get fastboot on the cpu without installing it, or am I missing something?

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.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
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.

I was so excited to flash viper on lte, i didnt install the kernel and cant get the phone to completely booy. Recovery and bootloader work fine. How can i flash the correct boot img or can I flash a stock rooted rom?
Should just be a fastboot flash boot boot.img
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
What do you mean? Viper comes with the kernel - if you're rooted and have recovery installed, you just flash the rom, and that's it.
@ Rx, what is your donation address. It worked and im going to try flashing the rom
This just happened to me over the weekend with CM10, so this is fresh in my mind. Completely power off the handset. Then, Power and Volume-Down to get into the bootloader. Connect the phone to your workstation via USB, and you will see a fastboot USB option. Then, download the ADB and Wintools ZIPs that are available here on XDA (PM me if you cannot find them via search, and I will send them directly to you).
After that, you will be able to execute the following commands to push the boot.IMG to your handset, etc.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot
Manual Nandroid restore
Make a Nandroid backup, and copy the folder off your SD card to your desktop.
cd ~/Desktop/path/to/backup/
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Flash Custom Recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img
fastboot reboot
Flash Custom boot.img
You should make a Nandroid backup first, in case you need to recover your boot.img
fastboot flash boot /path/to/<boot>.img
fastboot reboot
Alternatively, if you have CWM or TWRP installed as recovery options, you can flash from there. Just make sure you are pushing the correct boot.img for the ROM you want to flash.
HTH!

You can flash cwm through adb. Adb might be buggy through recovery it was at first. I'd post on the twrp thread to see if a someone has an idea

I had this problem myself today and started freaking out. After a brief 15 second panic attack I realized I could side load. I have twrp and sideloaded very easily.
I used the all in on toolkit listed in the android dev section and cleanrom 1.5. I put cleanrom on my desktop and renamed it to Rom.zip. I started the aio tool which has a button for sideloading a Rom. Boot the phone into recovery and plug it into your pc. (I am assuming you have the HTC drivers installed) From TWRP click on advance and the adb sideload. Then click the side load button on the aio tool. This will attempt to reboot your phone first but since you're already there just close the command prompt that comes up. A new window will come up for you to chose the zip. Navigate to your desktop and pick the zip you put on the desktop (longer paths seem to cause issue with sideloading). Then it will push the zip to your phone. The command prompt on your pc will have a percentage progress. Once done just flash that zip like normal.
I had to reboot my phone using the volume down power button method before I could get back to twrp and the install froze once in Aroma. But I just flashed it again and it worked. Once I got it back I just put my backup back on the phone, booted back to twrp, and restored my backup.
Sorry if this seems unorganized, had two toddlers crawling all over me while. typing. Using the AIO should work

Alright, so i have an EVO 4g lte and i attempted to root it today. It didnt turn out very well to say the least... I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery.I then flashed superSU, and at the same time i flashed a custom rom and gapps zip. Then hit reboot. It has not booted up since.. It will just sit at the white HTC screen. i tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, also did a factory reset. tried flashing cm10 rom onto the device as well as a rooted stock rom. nothing works! the farthest i have gotten was with the cm10 rom and it went to the cyanogenmod boot logo but was in bootloop still. I downloaded the ADT tool bundle but the phone wont show up on the device list. Can anyone help? im completely stumped.. Im fairly new to rooting and custom roms, but i have rooted multiple tablets and samsung galaxy phones and havent had any issues. this is my only phone also, i just gave my backup to my mother because her phone broke... please if anyone knows how to fix this let me know. when i boot into recovery mode it says Tampered and Unlocked at the top as well as S-On. I can also go into TWRP recovery with no problems. just cant use fastboot with my computer (windows 7 PC).
I am pretty sure i know what i did wrong, I flashed SuperSU to gain root at the same time i flashed the custom rom and gapps.. on all the other devices i would reboot after root and then flash the custom rom seperately.. but is there a way to correct my mistake?
Since you are s-on you have to fastboot flash the boot.img/kernel first and then flash CM and gapps
Any questions PM me
OK sorry to be a noob but how do I do that? I used cmd.exe while rooting but now it won't recognize my device. Much thanks for any help!!

If in bootloader type fastboot devices
In recovery type adb devices
See if you get a reply
In fast boot USB menu on the phone, I typed fastboot devices on cmd and it came up blank.

Sounds like a driver issue
1.Uninstall everything HTC from your PC
2.Reboot your PC
3.Plug your phone in and it will load a bunch of drivers
4.Try the command again
If that does not work get the latest drivers from HERE use the ones dated 6/6/13
and don't forget the BMP drivers towards the bottom of post 1

OK rebooting now I'll see if it uninstalled everything.
:fingerscrossed:
OK were connected now, now what? :good:
PC and phone are talking ?
fastboot devices
yes they are talking now. fastboot devices and my phone shows up.
i tried fastboot flash boot.img but it wont recognize the command, i placed the boot.img file into the platform-tools folder inside my C drive. what am i doing wrong? its late at night and im frustrated so i know im screwing something up...
ok good BTW which version of twrp are you using? Let me know before you continue.
pull the boot.img from the rom zip and copy it to the folder you opened your cmd window from
then type fastboot boot boot.img
once it says successful press the power button to return to HBOOT and use the vol keys to navigate to recovery
Once there choose wipe and wipe cache/dalvik cahce/system/data or factory reset depending which version of twrp you are using
then flash CM and gapps
C:\Users\Corey>fastboot boot boot.img
cannot load 'boot.img': No error
thats what i typed in and thats what it said back to me. not quite sure what the problem is.
the boot.img is placed in the same folder as the fastboot application

same thing, cannot load unknown error. also i am using twrp 2.6.0.0
Ok lets try something different at least it will get you up and running
Get twrp v2.4.1.0 from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jewel
put it in the same folder you are using and we will downgrade your twrp for now
copy and paste this in the cmd window
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.1.0-jewel.img
then fastboot erase cache
ok got the twrp done succesfully as well as the wipe cache. whats next? i think i figured out what i was doing wrong, i hadnt opened the file directory. cd downloads, cd android files, etc.
should i try going into recovery now on the phone and flash a rom, or should we stay on fastboot and push the boot.img?
Easiest way to open a cmd window is to press shift and right click inside the folder and choose open cdm window here
That way you know you are in the correct folder.
Yeah go ahead and try to flash the boot.img again
