Extract the boot.img file on your PC from the zip you have in a fastboot folder on your c drive. Connect your phone to the PC with USB debugging on. Go into the bootloader. Chose fastboot. Now from cmd prompt in windows type 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. That should do it.

Im trying to get my new XOOM from unlock to root and having a nightmare!
I have read and followed guides from the forum but still can't get the new recovery on?
I have done fastboot oem unlock and followed the instructions on the tab and at the end it says complete. Next once it reboots enabled usb debugging and rebooted into bootloader, all ok so far but when I try to run the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery-tiamat-r4c-100611-1150-cwm.img" it comes up with "cannot load"? I have tried with and without the. img at the end and also renamed the file "recovery" and "recovery.img" and still the same thing.
Has anyone had this same problem and can get me back on track please.

if you have adb installed.
copy files from platform tools folder to "tools" folder.
put tiamat recovery image in tools folder.
rename recovery..tiamat as recovery(not recovery.img)
commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Ok, will give it a try when I get to my computer and will report back.
Thank you

First of all, it really doesn't matter if all your files that you need are in Tools or Platform tools, as long as they are all in there and your command window is operating out of that folder.
Second, you are making a good point re: the img file extension...in Windows, it sometimes is set to hide file extensions, so it is possible that someone could already have the img file extension there and not see it and add it again, making recovery.img.img which of course wouldn't work.
I don't think this is the OP's problem, but you never know.
I went ahead and did the oem unlock but when I try and flash the recovery (or boot) image through fastboot using this:
C:\androidsdk\tools\fastboot flash recovery XXXXXXX.img
or
C:\androidsdk\tools\fastboot flash boot rootboot.img
I keep getting this error:
error: cannot load 'XXXXXXX.img'
I've trouble shooted all of the main things. ...my device is definitely attached. I have the recovery .img file in the same folder as fastboot (along with the 2 needed .dll files). I've also done stuff like re-install usb drivers, re-install sdk, I've oem unlocked 3 times.
I have a stock wifi xoom with 3.2
Here are the 2 main root guides I've been using

Thank you for your help
in cmd(assuming windows) type cd c:/•••••tools
your xoom should be in adb reboot bootloader
type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
rename recovery file as recovery.img and place in tools/platformtools as the case may be.
sending this message from stock xoom.
awesome, thanks. What you told me was enough to show me what I was doing wrong.
In case someone else reads this later on I had to type
cd C:\androidsdk\tools ...hit enter
then it looked like this
C:\androidsdk\tools> ...and I then typed
fastboot flash recovery XXXX.img
earlier I also renamed the folder to androidSDK from android-sdk

Read the first post of PACman ROM. It has very detailed instructions.
Put the boot.img in the folder where is adb and fastboot. Boot into bootlader. Plug phone into computer. You should see "fastboot USB" in red.
Open terminal and go to the adb folder. Type fastboot devices. You should see your phone device number. This step is to verify your connection.
Next type: fastboot flash image boot.img. That should flash the boot image. You should be done.
thank you my friend much appreciated
I flashed Philz recovery and I want to change back to TWRP 3.1, but Philz will only recognize zip files and not img files. How do I get a zip version of TWRP or how do I flash the img file? I also cannot get Philz to mount to my PC, and a lot of things are crashing on my current rom so I can't install any apps.
Download adb and fastboot. and also mfastboot, extract everything to single folder
download twrp .img from https://dl.twrp.me/falcon/ and copy .img to adb folder
On your device, go into Settings -> About and find the Build Number and tap on it 7 times to enable developer settings. Press back and go into Developer Options and enable USB debugging. From your computer, open a command prompt and type:
adb reboot bootloader
You should now be in fastboot mode.
Download the correct image file and copy the file into the same folder as your adb and fastboot binaries. Rename the image to twrp.img and type:
mfastboot flash recovery twrp.img (you may get partition mismatch error but neglect it and reboot to recovery)
and reboot to recovery thats all

Hello i am new here in this forum and i wanna know why i cant load my phone with a twrp recovery cause i've install it on my phone but the recovery stay in the official samsung recovery if i can get help this will be very kind thx
There Are 2 Options.
1.try rooting your phone and after rooting it extract the tar by the Odin file you downloaded copy the img file to your phone and open the twrp app and try flashing it to recovery and if u dont wanna have root uninstall it.
2. in twrp reboot to fastboot and extract the .tar file and copy it to the fastboot directory and type fastboot flash recovery (twrp.img) and reboot.
