did you put the recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img in the tools folder within the SDK directory? make sure you do that, then try again
I thought that the recovery image goes in the android folder with the fastboot.exe or do i have to put it in the sdk folder
ya the recovery image goes into the same folder where fastboot.exe is located that is correct. sorry about the confusion. but the fastboot.exe file should be located within the tools directory of the sdk
got it, thanks for your help

Im trying to get my new XOOM from unlock to root and having a nightmare!
I have read and followed guides from the forum but still can't get the new recovery on?
I have done fastboot oem unlock and followed the instructions on the tab and at the end it says complete. Next once it reboots enabled usb debugging and rebooted into bootloader, all ok so far but when I try to run the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery-tiamat-r4c-100611-1150-cwm.img" it comes up with "cannot load"? I have tried with and without the. img at the end and also renamed the file "recovery" and "recovery.img" and still the same thing.
Has anyone had this same problem and can get me back on track please.

if you have adb installed.
copy files from platform tools folder to "tools" folder.
put tiamat recovery image in tools folder.
rename recovery..tiamat as recovery(not recovery.img)
commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Ok, will give it a try when I get to my computer and will report back.
Thank you

First of all, it really doesn't matter if all your files that you need are in Tools or Platform tools, as long as they are all in there and your command window is operating out of that folder.
Second, you are making a good point re: the img file extension...in Windows, it sometimes is set to hide file extensions, so it is possible that someone could already have the img file extension there and not see it and add it again, making recovery.img.img which of course wouldn't work.
I don't think this is the OP's problem, but you never know.
I went ahead and did the oem unlock but when I try and flash the recovery (or boot) image through fastboot using this:
C:\androidsdk\tools\fastboot flash recovery XXXXXXX.img
or
C:\androidsdk\tools\fastboot flash boot rootboot.img
I keep getting this error:
error: cannot load 'XXXXXXX.img'
I've trouble shooted all of the main things. ...my device is definitely attached. I have the recovery .img file in the same folder as fastboot (along with the 2 needed .dll files). I've also done stuff like re-install usb drivers, re-install sdk, I've oem unlocked 3 times.
I have a stock wifi xoom with 3.2
Here are the 2 main root guides I've been using

Thank you for your help
in cmd(assuming windows) type cd c:/•••••tools
your xoom should be in adb reboot bootloader
type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
rename recovery file as recovery.img and place in tools/platformtools as the case may be.
sending this message from stock xoom.
awesome, thanks. What you told me was enough to show me what I was doing wrong.
In case someone else reads this later on I had to type
cd C:\androidsdk\tools ...hit enter
then it looked like this
C:\androidsdk\tools> ...and I then typed
fastboot flash recovery XXXX.img
earlier I also renamed the folder to androidSDK from android-sdk

Read the first post of PACman ROM. It has very detailed instructions.
Put the boot.img in the folder where is adb and fastboot. Boot into bootlader. Plug phone into computer. You should see "fastboot USB" in red.
Open terminal and go to the adb folder. Type fastboot devices. You should see your phone device number. This step is to verify your connection.
Next type: fastboot flash image boot.img. That should flash the boot image. You should be done.
thank you my friend much appreciated
I'm trying to uninstall Cyanogenmod 11 from my Nexus 5, but I'm very confused right now.
I have downloaded the Factory image (Headhammer-ktu84p) and the SDK manager (and installed USB driver, SDK tools and so on). My phone is in developer mode, and debugging is on. Both fastboot driver and original driver is installed.
I took my factory image folder and placed it inside the android-sdk/platform-tools folder.
Now, I can't get what to do. Some tutorials tell me to run flash-all, but it gives me this error:
"Fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command."
Other tutorials tell me to run fastboot.exe inside platform-tools, but it all it does is giving me different commands to try out.
I'm very confused, and don't have a clue what to do. Don't feel like any tutorials are working. Can somebody please help me?
What i did
I extracted all 6 files of the factory image directly into platform-tools folder
Then i connect my phone wid usb debugging enabled..
Go into platform-tools folder
Shift+right click
Open command prompt here
Now type
Adb reboot bootloader
Once phone boots into bootloader
Just double click on flashall

So, that resolution didn't solve my problem either.
I'm unable to instal the fastboot on my phone.
The problem is that Cyanogenmod has changed my "Recovery mode" and I just can edit some things through the "adb" commands. I don't have any possibilities to install things by the "flash" commands. And nothing about that icons like "flash-all.bat" is helping me to have my Android back or install the fastboot.
What can I do?
Make sure fastboot.exe file is inside the factory image folder. and drivers are installed. Then rebot phone into bootloader, by holding power and Volume down buttons. It will show you android image with open belly and some text on the bottom. Open CMD by holsing shift and rigth click on empty space in factory image folder.
Execute these commands:
Fastboot devices (If it will show up in CMD as connected, proceed)
Fastboot flash radio radio.img (file name may vary)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img (File name may vary)
Fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update (Here drag the zip file with factory image. the one that was in folder woth bootlaoder and radio images)
Fastboot reboot
That's it. To restore it to full stock, run command fastboot oem lock afterwards.
If i helped press that thanks button
