Here's instructions If u r using tapatalk open in browser and it will make more sense, in the app everything looks confusing
if your partitions are not the same as below change the mmcblk1pXX to your correct block ( to find your block partitions in adb shell or terminal on device
Code:
su
cat /proc/partitions
now enter theses commands in adb shell or terminal
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p11 of=/sdcard/boot.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p12 of=/sdcard/recovery.img
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p17 of=/sdcard/system.img
once the img has been created do these
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img C:\
adb pull /sdcard/recovery.img C:\

Ok sounds good yhe only thung i ask if that if u are uploading via 3g that u verify the md5 after word to ensure they r not corrupted
An u can verify with android app
Also it will be a lot quicker if u zip the three files before uploading ( before zip all three files r almost 800mg and after zip only 300ish )

The only original file you need is the Unlock_code.bin. They emailed this to you, that's the only way you can get the file. So if you did not delete the email, you can just go and download it again from your email. If you did delete it, it's most likely still in your email's trash bin.
BTW you do not need any original files to relock. Just boot back into fastboot usb mode and do as they said in the thread "fastboot oem lock"
I still have the file that htc emailed me. But in the instructions it list needing to move 2 other files to the android folder you create.
So basically just move the unlock.bin to that folder and follow the instructions as normal?

Are you talking about these 3 files adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, fastboot.exe? Really he shouldnt have said to move them. You can leave them where they are at. On your PC navigate to C:\Android\platform-tools and they should all be there still. Look and see if they are. If they are not, then I can send them to you.
If they are still there, then you just navigate to that directory in CMD prompt and follow his instructions. Where he says to navigate to C:\Android you instead navigate directly to C:\Android\platform-tools in cmd. Does that make sense?

I never had a directory called C:\android\platform-tools. I could not get any fastboot commands to work without having those 3 other files in the same directory as the Unlock_code.bin I was trying to push. Which is why I told them to put them together, to avoid the same issue I was having.

if you update your SDK to the latest you will see. Everyone should update their sdk once every month or so. you put your unlock file in that folder too, it's same instructions they tell you, but instead of moving those files out, you keep them there and you move your unlock file in. so you don't break the SDK for future stuff.

A newbie, I rooted my phone and was trying to figure out EZRecovery. Ended up bricking the phone and installed a stock image using Odin, but that is a separate issue about which I may write a separate question.
After I installed the stock image, I noticed that there is a folder on the SDCard entitled gs3recovery and inside are 6 files named as follows: 2 (0 bytes), recovery_hyb_invisibleckv2 (5.44MB), recovery_rec_CWM6010 (5.41MB), recovery_rec_CWMT5849 (6.34MB), recovery_rec_stock (6.10MB), and recovery_rec_twrp220 (6.96MB). The latter 5 are all Disk Image Files.
When I was trying to use EZRecovery, I went looking for images in TRWP and CWM folders and didn't find any. Are these the images inside the gs3recovery folder or are they too small to be images?
Could these images be used if I rerooted?
What images are you trying to find? The images in that folder are when you open ezrecovery and use the drop down box to select a recovery to flash, those are the recoveries.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Those are the recovery images that EZRecovery uses to flash a specific recovery onto your phone. There only usable if your rooted, so if you aren't its safe to delete that folder.

Thank you for your reply.
So let me confirm that you're saying these are images that I could recover using EZRecovery?
I thought that was probably the case, but I had expected the images to be a lot larger than 5-6MB.....like on Windows PC 7 where the image is more than 50% the size of the system drive.
Those are the recovery images. You could even use terminal to flash them using.the dd commands. The app does it for u
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Thank you all for responding. Basically then, I have images I could restore but I will have to root to do so.
I won't go into the whole story, but I have to root anyway because I restored a stock image to the bricked phone while the bootloader was unlocked.
I am planning to go back to stock but I can't do that until the bootloader is locked and I have to root in order to do that.
Thanks again.

Well, first, turn off the phone and charge it so you don't loose battery.
Second, never install another recovery on top of an existing one without knowing what you are doing - ask first.. (You get into the built-in recovery on that cm10.1 by tapping the volume down button at the end of the red moto logo when the lights come on).
Next, you could possibly fix your system with adb and switching some files.. but that would take a lot of explaining if you are not familiar with it.. plus, you might not get adb recognized during the bootloop.
So, you need to use the FXZ files for your phone/region... Or, just flash the system.img only.. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41436876&postcount=1106 - and see the link linked there.
EDIT: If you can get adb recognized, you might be able to just run these few lines to fix things from the command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/bin/hijack
sh /system/bin/finalize_release
exit

I am very confused at what you want to do. That link is only to root your device. But, if you are bootlooping, you need to replace your system.img.
You should download the entire SBF/FXZ zip file for your device/region/firmware. Then unzip it into a folder on your computer (best if it's close to C:\ with spaces in the path). Are you using a Windows OS on your computer?
Then, grab the restore-to-ics_win-batch.zip AND the restore-ics-system-only.bat.txt (remove the .txt extension) attached in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36834775&postcount=108
Mix those files in with the big FXZ files that you just unzipped. Then run the .bat file to flash the system.img only. If that doesn't work, then open the other .bat file (use Notepadd++ or similar), check that everything that is being flashed is actually in your folder and has the same name... and flash the entire FXZ. If none of that helped, then you probably flashed the wrong files to your phone.
Just flashing the system.img only is probably the safest.. Because if it's wrong, you can just flash another one. The other files in the FXZ package can mess up your phone if they are not for your specific device.
EDIT: If you still did not flash anything else, you could try to use adb... Get that restore-to-ics_win-batch.zip that I linked above.. Unzip it to your desktop. Power on your phone so it bootloops and connect with USB. Open a command prompt on the restore-to-ics_win-batch folder by holding down shift and right-click. Then type adb devices - if it returns a number with the word "device" (not the word "offline"), then you can try to use those adb codes I posted in my previous post. Otherwisem you need to use fastboot and flash fxz or system only.

Thanks guys for the wonderful tutorial...
Solved the issue by inserting a sim card into the phone.
Now I'm on CM 10.1
I have a LG nexus 5 and started playing around with software, Installed cyanogenmod to see what it had to offer.
Now I want to go back and I have succeeded in that but when I type fastboot oem device-info in cmd it says that the device has been tampered with.
I have access to Android toolkit PRO for nexus 5 so if anyone can give me a short guide step by step I would be very thankful.
For your information I have tried alot of different solutions none seem to work.
1.1 unlock fastboot
1.2 fastboot flash a recovery
1.3 flash the tamper fix zip
1.4 fastboot flash back to stock
1.5 check status
1.6 lock fastboot

Then you're doing it wrong. You need to type the path to the recovery. So if it's in c drive
fastboot flash recovery c:\twrp.img
Or if it's on your desktop
fastboot flash recovery c:\users\senseiblaze\desktop\twrp.img
Also note, the file must be called twrp.img. if it's called recovery.img, adjust your commands accordingly. It's also Case sensitive.
All basic stuff that every rooted user should know

Instead of flashing the twrp recovery boot from it.
Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
Because as far as I can remember flashing that zip will also lock the bootloader.

Your phone is booted into fastboot, right?
What is output of "fastboot devices"

It is booted into fastboot yes. What do you mean by output of fastboot devices?
I'm from Sweden so I rly didn't understand what you meant by that last sentence
Also I noticed your file is called "TWRP.img" but the file directly above it is called "setup". Usually I would expect it to be "setup.exe" which means that you probably have the "hide extensions for known file types" set in windows explorer > organize > folder options...
If you turn this off, I'm hoping you'll see that you actually have TWRP.img.img which is of course, incorrect

Seems like a lot of novice users make this same mistake. Perhaps a note of caution should be added to the guides?
