Everytime I try, I just get this error.

Use rommanger app from the market and it will flash it in a jiffy!

I tried to flash it with enrEVOked again, and I thought it was finished when it said "running root." so I disconnected the phone. After that I've been unable to start recovery mode, and than I tried method II here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=929628
and I'm stil unable to enter recovery :S

^ This.
Be careful you choose the right device when you flash from ROM manager though - it's easy to get wrong

When I try "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", I'll have to confirm what phone I use, and then it just says "Successfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery!", and nothing more.

Problem installing Touch CWM Recovery

Hi there,
I'm trying to install CWM Touch Recovery, but i'm running into problems.
here's my scenario:
HTC Sensation 4G S-OFF, Rooted. Currently using Virtuous Sensation XE ROM
I downloaded the .img recovery image AND the Windows ADB Files
Installed the Naked ADB Drivers successfully
ADB detects my device. Successfully rebooted into bootloader mode via ADB.
Typed 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' and got this:
Code:
sending 'recovery' (4876 KB)... OKAY [ 1.348s]
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 1.665s
I thought this was related to rooting and such, so i booted back into Android. I'm Using SuperUser 3.0-beta4 and updated to my binaries to 3.0.3.2, but i still get the same error.
What am i doing wrong? Can you guys help me?

You also can't read the forums rules.
This goes in Q&A

Step 1 | Pre-requisites:
Be on the Stock RUU and be rooted (have superuser flashed). No other ROMs are supported, Fresh ROM will not work regardless of what you have read elsewhere.
How am i suppose to have it roooted with superuser flashed...?
nvm it said exception but... i did parts of it and then i ran controlbear exe
and its comming out like
Waiting ADB.... (41/60)ADB server didn't ACK
* failed to start daemon *
and lastly
Waiting ADB.... (60/60)
Test 2: Booting FAILED
Reboot device manually
Reboot command failed!!
Bootloader unlock failed?
Press ENTER to exit.....

I tried with htc dev and then i got stuck on step 12... it said mine failed

do you have adb and fastboot files installed?(sdk tools)
if yes go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot
put there the unlock token.bin code
open the command window there and then do the command

make sure that you have htc sync and htc drivers installed

Hi,
Windows 7 & 8 drivers are HERE
Sometimes it takes more than one go.
Keep trying.

I thought you're supposed to un install htc sync... Okay I'll try again

I tried and it goes like
Android USB Devices>Android Composite ADB interface
then i press update so then i browse for the windows 7 driver
and in the end it comes out as "Window has determined the driver for your device is up to date."
Android Composite ADB interface
and for the HTC dev one, i have a sensation with Virginmobile Canada
So im suppose to click on all other supported devices right?

Stucked at "Rom Logo"

Hey guys..
I made a search on google for the best rom for a Moto G, and found a website with links for Paranoid, CNM, and Slim.. and i picked SLIMKAT
But after dong the process of installing twrp or CWM Recovery.. ended up sticking with CWM recovery cause of the buggy touch on the TWRP
so i was able to flash the rom and did it in this order
Flash Rom
Flash Gapps
Flash SU
reboot.. and got stucked at "slimkat logo"
then i decided maybe there was something wrong with the rom so i tried flashing Paranoid.. same deal.. stucked at logo.
Would anyoen please point me in the right direction fo what i need to do to fix this?
Thank you

I'd restore stock firmware (that should get rid of those "sd card" errors) and then flash the custom recovery again.
I'd try the philZ recovery instead of CMW. And finally flash the Rom you want to.

Omg that's strange. Unlocked bootloader once = unlocked bootloader forever, it's impossible you somehow re-lock it.
Did you follow the instructions on Motorola webiste to unlock?

Yes i think the problem is in the way i am returning to stock.
I found a thread with here in XDA last night were called "Firmware restock and more 4.4.2
but instead of using the batch file i oped them up in a text editor and run every line manually to see what the console answers after each command.
i downloaded the stock rom according to my country and carrie and simply rpelaced the files but i think the checksum did not match and thats why i was getting the denied message when doing this
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
%fastboot% flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
I'm going to rename my country stock rom xml file to match the original xml file and see

When I restored Stock, in the zip file I downloaded (en version) instead of:
system.img_sparsechunk1
system.img_sparsechunk2
system.img_sparsechunk3
there were
system.img_sparsechunk0
system.img_sparsechunk1
system.img_sparsechunk2
so I had to edit the prompt commands to match the file names.
May you're facing the same issue?
Try to auto-complete commands witht the tab key, it helps you not to give the wrong imputs

Ok, do you tried the Alonsoch tool? Read carefully the op, there is your "sparsechunk" problem and how fix it.

I think the reason you were being stuck at the ROM logo is because you didn't unlock your phone before you tried all this..
So.. hopefully you can restore your phone back to stock rom and start over..
good luck
