And if it helps I used the hasoon toolkit 1.0 to unlock my phone and Paul o Brian method to root it.
search for adb and push.
You schould be able to push the rom zip via ADB onto the sdcard and afterwards you can normaly flash it via cwm recovery

any help making this easier, idk what the hell im doing, im just trying to push my rom into the phone, this is confusing, im going insane!!!! ok i need this alittle easier im a noob at this, i got my phone rooted with cwm and i accidentallly erase the rom now im trying to put it back in. is there a certain adb fastboot that im missing cuz i tried it and it gives me the correct prompt file....this is really starting to irritate me, it doesnt even push the rom in......i would really appreciate some step by step process on how to do this today.this is my first phone and i really dont want it to brick at all.
let's assume you have adb and fastboot files on pc, if not you need to either install them to a folder of your choice ie Android or install android sdk and set them up that way:
These are the files that need to be in that folder--
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/adb_fastboot_win32.zip
but if you have them on pc and can connect phone and open command window, cd to your folder where the adb and fastboot files are, maybe something like cd/ hit enter then cd android/android-sdk-windows/tools, or whatever the path is
when you are there and right after the whatever your path is type adb devices and you should get your phone id #
you can google some of this stuff and see videos
if you can get that far do this: download the same rom to your pc and extract it with winrar. open it and you should see a system.img and boot.img file. copy them to the folder where you have the adb/fastboot files
then after you have the adb devices command recognizing your phone type this:
adb reboot bootloader which will put you into fastboot, to verify that before you proceed you can type fastboot devices and see the phone ID # again--then
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot -w
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
not sure if you need fastboot -w since you already wiped userdata
you should then be able to get rom booted back up and reset things up again--then nandroid and you should always have an sdcard bu also
if you don't have a recovery anymore you can fastboot it same way by typing
fastboot flash recovery "exact name of recovery.img"
fastboot reboot
I am no expert and you can research this stuff till you feel comfortable or someone can confirm
Yes still no.luck, I'm still stuck on boot up...

You seem to be able to use adb from what you post. So
1) Boot the phone into CWM
2) Put the rom into the same folder on your pc as the adb program
3) Open a command prompt on the pc, and navigate to the folder with the rom and adb in it, eg "cd c:\adb"
4) Push the rom to the phone: "adb push rom.zip /mnt/sdcard" (if it doesn't work, try it again and change "mnt/sdcard" to just "sdcard"
5) In CWM, choose flash zip file. The zip file should be in the root of your sd card.

Yea I'm still stuck and after a long time of seeing a couple of people not being able to fix my issue, I'm wondering of someone can confirm if this works or if it's possible to flash a ROM without putting it in the phone just flash it from adb?

Yea I'm gonna try that today but I was wondering if somehow we can make the computer flash it onto the phone for us (you know technology now a days) for situations like this for people who can't get access to their sd cards since the sd cards are non removable and make it a little more simpler to fix phones in this type of situation....just a thought put out there, I'm just thinking alot of things to make situations like this easier for people who are trying to get the best of their phone.

Yeah with a removable SD card it would have been as easy to just take the sdcard and stick it in the computer.
Just be patient and learn to use adb. In the long run it will make things easier for you. Plus you earn some valuable info and upgrade from noob status.
Good luck!

Just go on bootloader, install CWM recovery (adb is working on it) and send a rom by adb : adb push rom.zip /sdcard
copy the rom in adb folder first and replace "rom.zip" by the name of your rom.
Next go to recovery and flash your rom !
I already have he same problem like you, I was scared too, but don't panic you can install a rom
Ok I just got my phone back and it gets stuck on the boot on the way to the bootloader I can't get into Fastboot or the recovery, any ideas?
Nvm I got it back now it's only the recovery it goes to right away I try to go into bootloader but it gets stuck.on the HTC boot with red text displaying on it. Ok another thing I got into the bootloader and flashed the stock recovery but it got stuck on the boot again....ok another edit, I got the other recovery flashed but it won't boot into recovery it stays on the boot screen with red text.

Not sure what all you have done by now--so--
First off did you unlock again, as HTC may have locked it--even though you have red letters? (You said you just got it back--assume from HTC)
If unlocked confirmed--
Can you turn phone on and have it just boot into the homescreen
If so, can you connect to pc and have phone with usb debugging on and fastboot off (fastboot is under settings/power). Open command window and cd to your adb/fastboot folder and type adb devices then fastboot devices
if they work put latest cwm recovery image in the adb/fastboot folder and flash it by--
type adb reboot bootloader
then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img of course use exact recovery image name
if adb devices and fastboot devices don't work verify your sdk is set up and drivers are installed--
you may have already done this--sorry, just trying to start at the beginning
Ok so I'm at the point where I'm in recovery and the command prompt is open but idk how to do this...some help would sure be nice this is what I get when. I try to push something
Note: I kinda modified the name to just ROM so I won't have to type so much

what is x86 Mac? i just do a cd/ [enter] then cd android/android-sdk-windows/tools [enter]. that is my path. If on windows and sdk, you need the environmental variable path set to that path i just typed, or whatever your's is. not sure on a mac.
on windows I use forward slashes--not sure it matters
at the prompt you show type adb devices, if it doesn't come back with # followed by numbers you are not set up with adb, reinstall htc drivers and make sure whatever you are fastbooting, is in your tools folder

[Tutorial] How to flash a new boot.img via Fastboot

Hey Guys,
since I heard many questions lately concerning flashing a boot.img onto the One S I decided to give you a small tutorial! (which should also work on any other device with bootloadermode)
If you have fastboot already installed on your PC it's very quick & easy!
Pls be aware that this could damage your phone & I'm not responsible for this. so only do this if you really feel comfortable with it & you know about the risks!
First of all you need to have fastboot & adb installed, as well as the drivers for the One S. If you haven't, move on to the second post in this thread!

If you are on a Sense-based ROM make sure you haven't ticked the fast boot option in the settings!

Step 0,5
What is the boot.img?
-> basically it contains the kernel & the ramdisk. But let's hear what the pros have to say:
"The boot.img is a small(ish) file that contains 2 main parts, the kernel (the brain of the Android system) and the ramdisk (a core set of instructions and binaries that begins the boot process and controls base aspects of the system, such as mountpoints, memory management and startup services)" Source

Do I need to flash the boot.img manually in fastboot?:
No, if you're using TWRP and are on a Hboot-version lower than 1.13
Yes, if you're using any other recovery (like CWM)
Yes, if you're using TWRP and your ville has the Hboot-version 1.13 or higher

1.Step
reboot your Phone into the bootloader.
This can either be done via
- powering off and keeping volume up & the power-button pressed
- the extended power-menu (If your ROM has it, just select "reboot" & then "bootloader")
- via adb, connect your phone with the pc, make sure it says "USB debugging connected", go to Android/platform-tools/ & then press shift while you perform a right click with the mouse, then choose "open prompt here", type
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
& press enter. Your One S should then reboot into the bootloader
I personally prefer one of the last two methods, depending which way occurs faster to me at that specific moment.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2.Step
make sure it says "Fastboot USB" like in the following picture

copy the boot.img you want to flash into the folder C:\android\platform-tools\ & then execute the command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
(if your boot.img is named differently then adjust the last part of the command)
wait for it to succeed.
if it says okay two times & the prompt reappears everything should be fine

5.Step
reboot your device with

Installing ADB and Fastboot
It's actually pretty easy!
1. Step
download the Android SDK from HERE
Alternatively you can also download the USB drivers & the runtimes for adb & fastboot as a standalone as provided by Inferi0r in the 4th post:

3. Step
If you haven't installed the One S' drivers yet, download HTC Sync (e.g. from here, or here) & install it, which will also install the drivers needed for adb & fastboot to work.
If you have them installed already, skip this one & proceed to step 4.

4. Step
- go to C:\Android again
- press
Code:
Win + R
on your keyboard to bring up the Run dialog
- type in
Code:
sysdm.cpl
and hit OK
- now, the System Properties panel should open. Click on the Advanced tab
- in the Advanced Tab click on Environment Variables
- at the Environment Variables window find where it says Path in the Section of System variables, click on it, and press the Edit button
- when the new window opens, type in
Code:
;C:\Android
at the very end and klick OK
- now close all the windows, that's all, you're done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. Step
- go to C:\Android\platform-tools\ again
- right-click with your mouse while pressing shift
- select "open prompt here" & then you're ready to go to.
- most common adb/fastboot commands:
- adb commands
- fastboot commands
- by entering
Code:
adb help
or
Code:
fastboot help

Anyone have any sweet boot images they want to share? I'll see what I can dig up for our screen size and post some myself soon.
Excellent post, thank you. You could also mention the easiest way to boot into bootloader: a root enabled app like Quick Boot, or even Titanium Backup has the option.

You should consider adding an extra 3.5 step like this:
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
This step is meant to test the kernel & ramdisk before flashing it. Of course, the phone might not be fully functional because the modules in /system/lib/modules might not be paired with the kernel in boot.img. But at least you can see your phone booting!
Why do I have to do that? Can't I just flash the kernel through TWRP or CWM?

You need to do this due to the restrictions that are given with S-On.
The team behind TWRP somehow found a way to flash the boot.img sometimes. But for me (or my device) this didn't work.
this is very confusing to me
i wish if there was an easier way

should be exactly the same, only with the difference that the Android SDK should be located at
Code:
~/android_sdk/platform-tools/
or
Code:
~/bin/

problem with recovery

Hi guys,
I have a problem with install recovery on my Nexus S. When I'm in the command promt and I typed cmd. Then when I must type ""fastboot flash recovery ...img" it don't work anymore. I've downloaded the newest recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686
The file is in my download folder and called "5023-green.img". When I'm in the command promt and go into the download folder and then type "fastboot flash recovery 5023-green.img" it gives an error. It don't recocnize the file
I hope it is clear to understand because it's hard to explain My phone is unlocked and is in fastboot.

put both fastboot.exe and the recovery.img file in the same folder (for example c:/flash) then open cmd and navigate to that folder, you should see in the command line something like c:/fash/. Now you can do fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Probably you don't have fastboot added to the path or you're not pointing to the correct folder where the recovery image is.

Thanks for youre reply but still get the error. I've downloaded a tool package from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?wj0kbm0dooa5wsd
In this package is a fastboot.exe file. I put this file with the 5023-green.img in the same folder but still get error

I use the Android SDK, it has the updated fastboot tool. Anyway are you rooted already? If you're just get the Rom Manager from the market and install CWM from there. If not, try to get the android SDK from here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Install it (make sure that you also have java SE installed) to, let's say, C:/androidsdk
It will prompt you to open the Android SDK manager, say yes, select platform tools and hit download
Now in c:/androidsdk/platform-tools you will have fastboot.exe
Download the recovery from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager to the platform-tools folder
Put your phone in fastboot (volume up+power on)
then open the cmd, navigate to c:/androidsdk/platform-tools and do fastboot devices, it should show you the SN from your nexus. If it doesn't show, then you need to update your ADB driver. You can get it from the Android SDK Manager in the extras.
Now do fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Should work now

I think my ADB driver must have an update because when I type in the command promt c"/androidsdk/platform-tools>fastboot devices he says: "can not find the specified path".
In the Android SDK manager in extras is not shows any ADB driver? I have installed the Google USB Driver and the Google Web Driver in extras but which other file must I download?

The google USB driver is the ADB driver. If you go into your Device manager in windows, with your Nexus in fastboot and connected to the PC, can you see a ADB device? Or do you see a yellow exclamation mark? You sure you're in the androidsdk folder in the command prompt?
Let's try a different thing. Copy adb.exe, fastboot.exe and AdbWinApi.dll to C:/windows/system32
Reboot just in case and try to do again fastboot devices from the cmd
Should work now

Now I have recovery but now I have another problem. When I reboot my phone, I can't go anymore to recovery. I see then a green android with a open stomach. Anybody a solution? It looks like there is something went wrong with the install of the recovery but what?
And I have root permission now but with rom manager I can install recovery but when I reboot into recovery, the green android with open stomach come back...
Stock ROM? Delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, flash CWM again and that's it.

I didn't want to create another thread because I am somewhat having the same problem and I really don't know what to do. I have an M200 version on T-Mobile USA and I got the JB OTA yesterday and everything was running fine until, about 30 mins ago. The phone slowed down and the started to reboot and it keeps rebooting sometimes into safe mode. I took out the battery and tried the recovery mode, but this is what I get.

Do you have unlocked bootloader? If you have just flash CWM from the fastboot, enter in recovery and do a full wipe and install another ROM or even the stock image. Don't forget to remove the system/etc/install-recovery.sh file if you flash the stock ROM so CWM won't be overwritten every time you do a reboot.

from the dead droid reboot with power+ vol up
enter jb and with a file manager (like es file..or something else) delete both:
-/system/recovery-from-boot.p
-/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
reboot and reinstall cwm via fastboot
Only problem with that is he will require root access to do that.
Which I am assuming he currently doesn't have.
Anyways as someone already stated. Unlock bootloader if it isn't already. That will wipe your data off the phone.
Boot or flash a custom recovery.
Flash su.zip or supersu etc to get root
Boot up and make sure you actually have root.
Do as above poster said and remove those files.
Either flash recovery from a app like goo manager or rom manager. Hell now that that I think about it. I think rom manger has the option to remove those files for you when it flashes cwm. Or reboot into the bootloader and flash the recovery with fastboot. It will stick. Keep in mind that you need to download the fastboot version of the recovery if you go that route. It will be a .img. the others will be a .zip .
If you don't know how to use fastboot. Read the quides/stickies etc.

no, it's for ics only, I thought you are on ICS? well you downgrade back to .30 then use my method above, If you don't want to downgrade, then you must unlocked first then follow this method:

You put your device in fastboot mode, by turn off your device, hold volume down and power button, when you will see white text appeared on the screen release both, hit volume down to navigate to the USB icon, then hit volume up to select and now you are fastboot. plug in your usb cable then open fastboot command on your pc and do your thing.

Not a problem, but I need to verify what your setup first.
1. Are you on Jelly Bean?
2. Are you unlocked? (when you turn on your device, it should displays "device is unlocked"
3. Do you have SDK and fastboot/ADB tool installed on your device?
Once you answered all 3 questions, I will recommend the easiest way to root.

OK, we need to verify if your fastboot is working or not. Put your device in fastboot mode (see my thread above..how to select the usb icon). On your pc, go to the folder that you have fastboot command (should be fastboot.exe). Open window command prompt, navigate to the folder where "fastboot.exe" located (usually located in "platform-tools" folder), then execute this :
type in:
fastboot devices
hti enter, you should be device ID show up
again type:
fastboot reboot
then hit enter
Your device should reboot. If it does, your fastboot is working.

first you have to "cd" into the path wehre you store the fastboot.exe.Ideally you've installed a full android sdk with adb, etc. After setup your android sdk and fastboot, make sure that you're tablet is booted in fastboot mode and you've installed the fastboot drivers, e.g. from universal naked driver package. After this you can send fastboot commands to your tablet but please note that it doesn't answer to fastboot devices.
Here are some threads explaining how to setup fastboot and how to after flashing jellybean, e.g. chainfires SU.

Based on your screen shot, you put the "fastboot folder" on your desktop. Do this.
open cmd

Dude, it's pretty easy.
1. Unlock your bootlooader. To do this, go into tablet /Settings/Development Options and select USB Debugging.
2. Plug your tab into PC (your Acer USB drivers must be installed first)
3. Open a Command Window in the folder you downloaded all those files. (shift & right mouse click)
4. Check to make sure ADB is working by typing adb devices (you should get some numbers) if not, you have a windows driver issue.
5. Type adb reboot bootloader (tab should reboot to bootloader)
6. Type fastboot OEM unlock (you should get a couple of images. One with an unlock, and one with a lock door) Use Vol - to switch between the 2. Use vol + to select. You have to be quick, as it times out after 5 seconds or so.
When you reboot, it should say bootloader version number (unlocked mode) or something similar.
Go back to the Command window, and run the batch file. "easyroot.bat" by typing in easyroot.bat , then hit the Enter button. The batch file should install all you need, You may need to select things that it prompts you for.
No, there's not a video, as it ain't rocket science. If you can't understand these instructions, perhaps it is better if you do not root your tablet. Doing this, is not for everybody.
Also note, once you unlock your bootloader, you can no longer get OTA from Acer. And, once you unlock it, you cannot lock it back. Not without installing a whole new stock rom.
Also, next time, post your questions in the Q&A forum. Otherwise, nobody will answer them.

First, i install usb driver.sau I plug my A700 to the PC, I did not see what happened. do not know my tab has been updated to the new driver?
*I download the sdk for it in the c drive (because when I extract it, do not see the files installed)
Unlock Your Bootloader: (codes from alx5962)
1. Open a command prompt in windows and navigate to the directory where adb is stored. For the sake of conversation, I’m going to call it “C:\SDK\platform-tools”
2. Plug your tablet into your computer through USB. It should automatically mount because you’ve installed the Acer USB Drivers and didn’t skip that step above. J
3. At the command prompt, enter the following:
I do not know to type the path to the sdk, it's all wrong! I to the sdk folder in c / program files/adt-bundle-windows-x86 .đặt thư mục sdk ở program files có đúng không?

Dude. Why are you messing with the Android SDK? When you mess with the SDK, you also have to install the Java JRE kit as well. Then, you have to modify your PATH and CLASSPATH on windows, or else you'll get the messages you got.
I thought you just wanted to get Root on your tablet. Everything you need is in the package that Vorbeth has for easyRoot. His package contains adb.exe, fastboot.exe, and the windows dll's necessary to do it from the folder you saved them all too. Leave the SDK alone unless you know what you are doing.

You still have to unlock bootloader.,
But run your commands in the package you downloaded. (adb and fastboot). You don't need the SDK for this.

You MUST open a CMD (command) Window first.
In the folder you downloaded all the stuff to, find a nice empty place (DO NOT SELECT A FILE),
Hold your SHIFT key, and then do a RIGHT MOUSE CLICK
Then, select Open Command Window
You should have a black window, with the directory path. If you don't, then you have issues with your PC.
Next, (where you see the little flashing curser) type in adb devices then hit ENTER
(make sure the pc recognizes your tablet. You should see something like, killing dameon server :devices attached with several numbers)
Type adb reboot bootloader then hit ENTER
(tab reboots to bootloader)
use your left VOL- key to navigate between locked and unlocked. Use VOL+ to select
Reboot your tab. Should say unlocked mode on boot.
Then go back to that black Command Window, and type in adb devices and hit ENTER (once again, you should see your device like the first time)
Then type in 701easyroot.bat and hit ENTER
Should see some stuff, mostly warnings. But at this point, it will ask you to;
1. Keep your stock Recovery
2. Install the CWM Recovery
if you select 1, program quits, and you can just reboot your tab, because as soon as you ran the bat file, it rooted it.
