Hello
That's the guide i followed, I run the bat file put it into fast USB mode. It copies the file and I see a small progress bar on the hand set then it says completed successfully. When I try to put it into recovery it just boots as normal and yes I am highlighting the recovery bit in the menu the hitting the power button to select it.
put phone into fastboot mode (you know how already)
use adb command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once successfully sent to phone, shut down phone then try again to access recovery (hold vol - and press power button once, scroll down to recovery) hope it helps

If you're having difficulty flashing recovery, you can easily do it with ROM Manager.
All you've to do is downloading ROM Manager from Play Store, open it and choose Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, follow the steps, wait and you're done. PS, your phone must be rooted before using ROM Manager. It will flash latest version CWM Recovery available for your device.
Please hit 'Thanks' if I helped you.
*Modify*
Sorry I read it later that your phone is not rooted yet. So you can first install superuser.apk by flashing superuser.zip from inbuilt recovery(you'll find the way in rooting tutorial) and then follow the above mentioned steps.

I reckon there is a problem with the recovery on the phone as once i have selected recovery on the boot loader the phone boots normally, unless is is a key combination i need to press while it is trying to boot into recovery, i dunno

If your using a sense ROM, it doesn't fully shut down on power off. You have to take out the battery and put it back in before holding power and volume down to boot into recovery. If you can't get into the recovery, reflash it.

This was the method given in the rooting tutorial:
After unlocking bootloader,
Copy SuperUser.Zip file into SD-Card and then turn OFF your HTC Explorer (Take Out Your Battery > Place it Again). Then Press & Hold Volume DOWN + Power key to get into Bootloader.
Then Select Fastboot with Vol Keys and Press Power Key > When You are in fastboot connect your HTC Explorer to PC Via USB Cable
Extract Recovery.zip file anywhere on your pc and run the Recovery.bat file, wait a moment and you are done.
Now, after running the Recovery.bat file and successfully completing the above step press Power Key to get back into Bootloader:
Using Vol Keys > Select Recovery,
Wait until this Recovery screen is shown (It Could be in blue colour or any other colour):
Using Vol Keys Select Install zip from sdcard and Press Power Key > Then Choose Zip From SD-card and Press Power Key and finally select the Superuser.zip file using Vol Keys and Press Power Key.
And when it shows Install complete or something, you've successfully rooted your device.
From above method you've managed to install a temp. recovery from that recovery.bat but you need a recovery you can access without connecting it to PC but with bootloader.
After it, reboot back. Install application ROM Manager from Play Store. Open it when installed, grant superuser permission(just select yes when a pop-up appears. It asks root permission). Now follow the steps I told you before. You can do rest of the things easily.
However you can install a custom ROM(upgrade your android version) only by unlocking bootloader and flashing recovery. But as your warranty is already void now, root your phone and enjoy all features around.
Like you can install link2sd from Play Store. It can forcefully move any app to sd-card. So your memory problem is out.
Yes, now don't forget to hit 'Thanks' or you would not succeed.

When I select backup Rom in ROM manager, it reboots and i get a screen with an exclamation mark with an android bot. Same thing happens when I try to get into recovery with power on + volume up button.
But when I select reboot in recovery from rom manager it works and i was then able to take a back up from there.
What do i do ? Current and latest clockwork version are same according to rom manager. I updated it twice using ROM manager to make sure its the correct one

Tried it. Nothing happens. Have to take battery out. But I can still access recovery by rebooting in recovery from rom manager
Try installing it from the bootloader.
Name the image file recovery.img
Put it in the android sdk tools folder(or wherever your fastboot.exe is) and run the command -
"Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Then reboot, it should work.
The android with a "!" is the stock recovery. You don't have to pull the battery at that screen, just press hold power button, then press volume up, you should end up in stock recovery.
In ROM Mgr, FLASH clockwork recovery (twice for good luck, seriously) before trying to boot/backup from ROM Mgr. That should get you going.
The fastboot flash method mentioned above also works.
Part of your issue is that there's a file called /etc/install-recovery.sh that overwrites clockwork recovery with the stock one every time you boot up normally. Rename/delete that file and clockwork will stick after that.

I have found if you to flash Clockworkmod recovery from Rom Manager and you already have the same version, it will remove it all together.
just reboot your phone and run the recovery installer once. Right now, it should be version 3.0.0.5. After you run it. Reboot your phone -> hold power + up (or down don't remember) -> select recovery.
If it is there, you should be able to get to it from the Rom Manager link also.

I installed once again. It said no recovery or image found. Installed again, could go into clockwork recovery but after rebooting again the same
renaming install-recovery.sh in etc folder worked Now can I go into clockwork recover on every boot
so whenever i boot into recovery mode using power+ volume up it goes to the hboot screen but when i try to scroll using the up and down volume key, nothing happens, then a few seconds later it tries to search for the pd.img file (forget exactly what it is) then ask me to update it, so i did this hoping that next time i go into recovery mode i can install my custon rom, but this just restored my phone, luckily i made a backup before and now my phone is back to being rooted, but i still cant use recovery mode! also when i try through rom manager i just get a black screen, i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961406 to root my phone.
Recovery is power + volume down, boot loader is power + volume up...
I'm assuming ROM Manager shows that ClockWorkMod is installed?

Hhhhmm, strange, it does not work using power+ volume down (still the up/down keys do mothing) but when booting into reovery through rom manager worked! so thanks!
Power + vol up does nothing power + vol down takes you to hboot. The problem your having is coming from not deleting the pd98img before going into hboot.

A couple other options. Download quickboot from the market. The app has options for reboot, recovery, bootloader and power off. Also Rom manager has the option to boot into recovery.
And... Make sure fastboot is not enabled.

i bought my phone from a shop called cex here in the uk i enjoyed my nexus i9020 till the power button stopped working i got it exchanged for a i9023 but the phone does not boot up and is stuck on the google part of the boot up where the lock is if your unlock the bootloader. normally i have to boot it though adb which is a hassle is there anyway to fix this ?
I donot know how to fix it completely but it is probably because you don't have any software or system on the phone which is whta happened to my brother's phone. I recommend getting help tto install an android system update manually (google search) and install it using recovery, install from sd card and choose the android system file zip.
Good Luck!

Try entering the fastboot mode by pressing and holding both Vol up and power button once there .. scroll down to recovery with volume down and press the power button on recovery ... once u see the triangle with exclamation mark in center... press but not hold power and volume up (might take a few tries)...once in recovery see if the phone has a Restore on it... if it does.. you are one lucky S.O.B lol

flash cwm recovery from bootloader menu with adb.
format everything with cwm recovery.
download any rom for your device, eg the stock one from the sticky in general section.
mount usb storage (remember to mount /sdcard first).
copy rom onto storage, unmount storage, install zip from sdcard. done.

How does he copy it on the sdcard though if he can't access Android?
still does not work
I tried to use the search and google but didn't really find anything helpful. Almost 2 years ago, I unlocked the bootloader back on honeycomb and did custom recovery, root, and custom rom. Then a little while after ICS came out, I did the OTA update.
Today, I reset the xoom back to stock ICS and tried to unlock the bootloader again...thinking nothing of it. The process was taking a few minutes so I decided to get a snack and when I came back it was rebooting.
I assumed that it worked and continued to try and fastboot a recovery image. The recovery image installed and I did another reboot but was greeted with the android welcome screen. Anyways I went through the menus and then tried to enter recovery and it gave me an android laying on its back with and exclamation point above his open chest.
I hard rebooted and can still get into my device, but adb cannot seem to find my xoom anymore. I have tried it on a 64bit desktop and laptop with no luck.
Have I messed up? Or is there a simple fix that I am missing? Thanks in advance for any help!
Can you get into fastboot mode? The second time you unlocked did you have to go through the questions on your xoom again?

Yes, I can get into fastboot by holding the volume down key and the power button. That's fastboot, right?
Yes, I had to go through the menus the second time I unlocked.
sounds like the recovery you try to fastboot did not take or the rom was corrupt.. Which recovery was it? Do you want to be rooted and run a custom rom or completely stock? what xoom do you have(wifi, 3g, 4g)

Download your rom choice, gapps and put them on the root of your sd card. If they are already there skip this step
I like TWRP Recovery the best. Easy to use and lots of options.
download this Twrp 2.4 img to the folder you hve fastboot in
open a cmd prompt in that o that folder
type fastboot flash recovery TWRPv2.4.1.0.img
Once you have verification on your device that this has been flashed, reboot your device by holding volume up + power.
Then 3 seconds after you see the Motorola logo, hit volume down. You should now see "Android Recovery" in the top left corner. Hit volume up to boot into recovery.
You should be in twrp 2.4
select backup/restore and backup your current system
select install and find your rom select asnd then swipe to flash
when done then select home
select install again and find the gapps package and install
when done select wipe dalvick/cache
when done select reboot
select system
you should be good to go.
Well I got through all of the steps, but when I try to boot I get stuck in a loop of the roms boot logo. Is it okay to flash a wingray rom over a stingray device?

I think it is fine just the 3g/4g won't work.
I can get you going again but you are going to be starting with a locked honeycomb device. You will then have to either let it update to ICS or JB or unlock, root, install custom recovery and flash a rom. What xoom do you have 3g or 4g?

However, could I ask how to root this thing?
since you have a custom recovery on it already and are unlocked.
Download this file Universal xoom root place it on the root of your sd card and flash it. Then reboot and try a root required app such as root checker

Please be specific the information :
1. Which ROM r u in?
2. Before this happen, which Recovery r u in?
3. Did you try to boot into recovery by adb command : adb reboot recovery ?
1. I'm currently using Arrow os.
2. TWRP.
3.Yes I did because there's no other way you can get into the recovery but using adb only gives me access to TWRP, but the problem is that every rime I want to access TWRP I should use a computer.

Means you still able to boot into recovery, just that u must use command lines and the recovery's not there when u try to boot into it by other method, correct?
If so, download OF latest build R11.1.2.1 ( zip file ) boot into TWRP, flash the zip, boot info OF, flash the zip in OF again, then let it do the auto reboot into recovery. When done, clear cache, Dalvik then reboot to system as normal.
Then try to reboot to recovery by normal ways, inform me back if it's work
Thank you for your reply. I will try to do it after some time because I'm busy right now hopefully it works
