CM11S can be flashed with a custom recovery if its a .zip file, If its a .tar.gz file it has to be flashed with adb. Install the android-sdk platform-tools and unlock the bootloader first and flash a custom recovery in fastboot with adb and flash the CM rom and Gapps.

Its not flashtool you are looking for - its fastboot . Fastboot can be found inside the SDK Tools here.

Yes, fastboot is what he should have written. Flashtool is meant for Sony devices specifically.

Can you go into Bootloader/Fastboot? (Volume Down + Power)
EDIT: Read your other thread. You need to flash a stock recovery. You can do that via fastboot. Flash a stock recovery, format SD card, then flash a custom recovery again and you should be good to go.
Process of flashing any recovery is easy. Refer to the method in my signature, you just need to follow the RECOVERY FLASHING PART ONLY.
Other necessary info is also available.

No problem.
Fastboot drivers ok?
where did you get from and then put recovery.img?
also check name of the whateverRecovery.img file to be the same as "recovery.img"

Great. Now you have a stock recovery. Just format the SD Card from recovery and the SD should be good.
Afterwards, you can flash any custom recovery and mess around with flashing ROMs etc.

Download This. Open the zip file with 7-Zip or WinRAR, go to firmware.zip, extract recovery.img.
Then flash the recovery in the same way. This is the stock recovery and not TWRP.
I am assuming your phone to be S3 and updated to Jellybean already.

More info please?
Also, the twrp images are in the *.zip format. You need to extract it, and -
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [I]<name of image>[/I].img
I/most of the people will not be able to understand your question, as it seems meaningless, no offence, without any info.

NEVER!
So my answer would be, Uninstall super su and weak sauce then flash super su.zip from recovery for full root.
PROFIT.
If anyone else runs into this problem of no fastboot
Download flashify and flash the recovery image thru the app.
Then flash super.su thru your recovery.
Then have lunch =p
SUCCESS.

. bat

Hi, looking to root my device and in a tutorial it mentions running the windows. bat file?
I don't remember doing this other times I have rooted...
What is it?
How do I run it? Can I just open up cmd in the fastboot location and run it like that?
Been a while since I have rooted or flashed anything so I'm rusty.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.!

... actually the tutorial is for flashing Philz... I will root through recovery...
So, if anyone could give me the best advice for flashing Philz on a Huawei device, it would be all the more appreciated. There are a few tutorials but they seem to be leaving out some specifics.

I figured I could just extract the .img to the fastboot location (as I think I have done on other devices, though not Philz recovery) and just flash from there using cmd but not sure what command to use...
I also seem to remember reading you can't or shouldn't flash recovery in fastboot?
Thanks for your help.

You absolutely can, but please be sure that recovery was built specifically for your device. The fastboot command is: fastboot flash recovery (name of) recovery.img

Hi all, I've been looking all over for fastboot roms for this device. Can't seem to find them at all. Can anyone please direct me to the location of some ?

Fastboot roms are correct. using adb, you can restore your phone using adb sideload. The only "fastboot" rom around that I know of and have used was extracted using python. However, there's no fastboot rom for tmobile, just msm.

The "fastboot version" of this rom is the EU version. There are no fastboot version of the tmobile version, if that's what you're looking for.
do you still want the link for the eu version? do you know how to get into "fastbootd?" I will provide links when you reply.
