I want to flash clockwork recovery (or TWRP ) but the file I download is a .img. How do I flash that onto my phone? I've googled it and every damn websites says "now open the .tar file"... Am I doing something wrong? Can someone help?
Thanks!
Download EZ Recovery from the Play Store, scroll to recovery tab, tap custom and find the img, then flash that file.

I know I'm probably just not doing something right but after I completely restored my infuse to factory and rerooted it, I'm trying to restore my backup I made from CWM and it seems all my options are missing from CWM when I boot into recovery mode. My options used to be gree and I had lots of options... one in particular was "restore and backup". So I can not restore from my backup now. Here is a pic of what my restore screen looks like. How do I fix this? Thanks!
Hit reinstall packages. You should have to do this twice

oh yea thats right... correct me if im wrong, don't I just take the file and place it on my sdcrd, boot into recover and install the zip?
First, you have to replace the stock 3e recovery with a modified version (disables signature checking). It's the "recovery" file in /system/bin. You do not use the recovery interface to install it. From there, you can flash your unsigned zips.
Alternatively, you can just flash an image using Odin.

Yes! today i need to install CWM Recovery Image first, and after install the Rogue with .zip file. I`d like to run Rogue Recovery as .img file to install it first, without CWM Recovery first. Its possible?
Thanks
Open the zip file and take the .img file out and flash it.

Did you use fastboot boot recovery path to recovery instead of fastboot flash recovery path to recovery?

It was a downloaded zip file. I flashed it thru recovery have do.e it this was on other pho.es without problem.

It might be because we lack s off, I don't know, but can you try using fastboot and see if that works? There are guides about this in the dev section
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
did you get it--
Tried every suggestion I could find. It won't stick after reboot
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
if you want to go thru exact steps for cwm we can, but you need adb/fastboot working on your pc, and knowing how to use them. I won't have time tonite for a tutorial on that, but plenty of info out there.
also on phone make sure under settings/power fastboot is unchecked. if you are going to use fastboot to flash cwm you need usb debugging check under settings/dev options
easier way is to flash twrp recovery
their thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677670
mainly just download goo mananger from play store
open it
tap on menu, mine is the 3 dots
tap on Install OpenRecoveryScript
follow directions
with twrp you can flash radios and most roms without flashing kernel thru fastboot
always have a nandroid and sdcard bu before doing these things
Yes, I've done that already uh sing hassoons tool kit. Probably just stick with reg cwm. Not on recovery much anyways. Have used cwm for a couple years. I tried the twrp rec. For a few minutes.

don't use the toolkit
fastboot the 5.8.3.1 image thru command terminal window
do you use fastboot

Hi I have used the tool kit, but some of the recoveries there don't work. I found this file online after searching and it does work with my HTC One S. This is touch recovery, pretty good, actually.
You can just flash the .img file through:
a) adb command(fastboot), might be faster for you.
or
b) you can put this file(extract it first) into the "data" folder of the tool kit, but you will have to edit bat file to be able to integrate your new .img file with the UI. I did this way.
This is the link where I got the above recovery. http://www.modaco.com/topic/353006-...ch-recovery-for-the-htc-one-s-stock-download/
This link also have stock .img you might need in the future. I tried both the recovery and stock files, they both worked well.
See if this will help you out.
I've searched and Googled... I can't find this at all. How do I update my CWM?? I'm on 6.0.2.3. I hear there is a 6.0.2.8
Sent from my S3 via Taptalk
If you haven't already, download Rom Manager from the play store here.
Open the app, and go to the Recovery Setup section and you can update it from there.
Try this

Also IDF you want to try twrp you can get goo app and select menu then update recovery.

Can anyone please provide me with the latest s3 Verizon CWM Touch 6.0.2.8 odin flashable tar file?
Thanks in advance!
I made tar.md5's here of 6.0.2.8 for you guys of both touch and regular, you can get them here
http://invisiblek.org/sch-i535/recoveries/
I'm going to recommend that you DO NOT use the dd method posted above. Its dangerous. If you were to type the wrong partition, you could very easily brick your device.
If you want to use an img, use heimdall to flash it, otherwise create a tar/tar.md5 and flash it with odin
Or use rom manager
Or....find some other way....dd is dangerous http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)

Definitely the easiest method! Just did it two days ago using this method
Its free for the non touch version, or like $1 or $2 for the touch version, well worth it!

I have always used the dd method to flash recoverys to my phone, but I always make sure everything is typed correctly in terminal emulator before I press enter. With this new information I will no longer use dd commands for anything.
Thanks invisiblek for the info.

I just updated via ROM Manager to Clockwordmod 6.0.2.9 and once I booted into recovery and did a backup, I was unable to reboot the system. I was able to reboot the phone via power + home button power on and installed Clockworkmod Touch 6.0.2.9. I also had the same problem with Clockworkmod touch where it wouldn't reboot the phone.

how?
For those getting stuck in recovery loop...
Reboot in odin (power+volumedown+home) and select cancel.
Tokedup found this link for previous versions...use ez recovery to flash img files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096735
is this a known issue with the latest CWM? i ran into the recovery loop, too.
Using EZ Recovery and those recovery img files at that link work for me to get an older recovery installed. Also verified that I can successfully reboot the phone from recovery again.

Version 6.0.2.9 for our phone is bad. Use an earlier version.
ROM manager says 6.0.2.8 is the newest version our phone supports

Use 2.8.1.0
Fastboot.
Fastboot with a PC, flashify directly on device, zip file in recovery, terminal emulator+IMG file...pick one.

You can also use the TWRP app from the Play Store, which is probably the easiest way.
So how can i flash my updated version? I downloaded the version on my phone its in my downloads. I boot into recovery go to flash and it does not recognize the img.

You need a zip file to flash in recovery. Use the flahify app if you want to flash the.img file or flash it in fastboot
