Send the recovery img to your xoom with fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
Then press power and vol up to reboot once at the M count 1 2 3 then press volume down. Then volume up to selext recovery. Once in twrp recovery flash your su.zip (ensure its compatabile with your current os version) and reboot. Then enjoy. When you select reboot twrp will prompt u to delete two files (if your stock) these two files will reinstall stock recovery if they r not deleted or renamed.
You can get the twrp recovery from my sig

Gone over it a hundred times in my thread so before you tell me im wrong, a replace your sd card or b why put the su zip on your sd card? Put it on the internal memory.
Edit... wait your trying to flash the img from your sdcard? Thats not possible
You need to read the OP on my thread on how to install twrp img NOT the zip

Ive told you already you can not flash a recovery from stock recovery. You are not reading the op of my thread. Or any other threads on how to do this.
The same method of unlocking the bootloader in fastboot is how you have to flash the recovery unless u already have a custom recovery.
Download the twrp IMG from my op to your computer, save it to your folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are.
Boot your tablet into fast boot mode (just like you did when you unlocked the bootloader)
From the folder that adb and fastboot are open cmd prompt
Type
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img
The tablet should read out that its flashing. In the cmd prompt it should read out that its flashing also.
Once done type
fastboot reboot
Then when the tablet starts to boot you will see the red M count 1 2 3 then press volume down then volume up to select recovery. You are booting into TWRP

thanks bud, i try
If you still need help, here is a FAIL proof way... so that there is no mis understanding
watch this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-7wfZw0wj0&feature=youtu.be
then this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koxgbdQuzOQ
then remember to boot STRAIGHT into recovery after flashing, if you fail to do so the stock rom has two scripts in it that install stock recovery on EVERY BOOT. if you boot to android your custom recovery WILL BE over written
once you boot into TWRP and have finished your flashing and select reboot TWRP will detect the two scripts and prompt you to delete them or your custom recovery will be over written and you will have to re flash ( VIA fastboot like in the first video) again

why did you wipe data and dalvik after rom's installation?
follow these steps
full wipe from recovery
flash the rom
flash gapps
reboot
done
note:the initial boot takes a while

no it doesn't matter if you didn't root the stock one
cm10 comes already pre-rooted
do this
connect your device in fastboot mode to pc(in bootloader must say fastboot usb)
extract the boot.img from the rom.zip and place it in your adb and fastboot folder(i assume you have installed sdk tools)
open in that folder a cmd window and do fastboot flash boot boot.img
then do fastboot reboot

Hi,
I have some serious problem with my Desire S. My recovery is probably broken, TWRP logo pops up but that the phone just reboots. After deleting cache and flashing new recovery I´m unable to boot my device, stuck on CM logo. My hardware keys never worked for booting to botloader. Is there any other way to recover my device? I tried fastboot reboot and adb after powering on the device but nothing.

Can you post your boot info? Hboot?S-ON or S-OFF?
You can access fastboot?And write without errors?
Try 4ext recovery but first when you download check md5 for file.

Boot ur phone into fastboot and put the recovery.img inside ur fastboot folder on ur pc (make sure u rename ur recovery file "recovery.img) plug in ur phone and type this command.
fastboot boot recovery.img
See if that boot u into recovery then u can try flash a rom from there. I posted latest 4ext recovery in desire s general thread, look for that and try the above command using 4ext recovery

Hi to all,
I want to install a cwm (the last one) becouse the android update 4.4.4 has erase my recovery.
I run the program, i go to launch and I click Recovery in boot/Flash image.
The program download the last version of recovery anche restart nexus5 in bootloader menu and instal a recovery.
After that restart the phone again and it works perfectly but when I go to recovery mode, it doesn't work. I try more times but doesn't work!
The phone is unlocked and before update 4.4.4 the recovery worked perfectly.
Somebody can resolve thi problem?
Thanks.

ok thanks but can i use this tool?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...tool-nexus-5-multi-tool-3-unlock-cwm-t2509428
The problem is that the link for downloading it does't work.
The firs time that I unlock, and flash recovery and root I used that software.
Can you replace it or give me another link?
Thanks again anche sorry for wonge section....
No. Do NOT use tools like this.
OTA removes root and replaces recovery.
If you want a recovery Download cwm, philz or twrp and fastboot flash recovery image from your pc
If you click the link to the sticky roll-up in my signature, you will find a thread there in section 1 called "adb and fastboot, what is it?". Please read it. You will know everything you need to know

Fastboot flashing a recovery would take less time than it took for you to type out that post.
Thanks all.
I read and I understand that I have to send this commands:
Adb reboot and when device go to bootloader a send:

Is it correct?

Multiple ways to get into the bootloader. Another is hold vol down whilst turning on your phone
Since I suggested you read my adb and fastboot thread, I added a new section about command prompt. It explains that you need to tell cmd where the recovery image is but otherwise correct.

Can you get into the fastboot menu (hold volume down and then power) or into the recovery (from the fastboot menu)? Also, have you unlocked the bootloader and/or flashed a rom?

Did you try flashing recovery from fastboot mode? If not, try following the instructions on the TWRP website (minus the "adb reboot bootloader" part, of course).

Did you try flashing the kernel? I can verify that the Optimus kernel and the TWRP from the Multirom thread work, so I'd recommend trying that combination.

The MultiROM TWRP itself doesn't install multirom, I just know it works, while some other recovery images don't. You will be able to flash a different recovery once you fix your problem.
I forgot that a kernel can't be readily flashed via fastboot... You should try downloading a stock firmware package and flashing at least boot and system.
