You can try to just boot the custom recovery
fastboot oem unlock
(note this will wipe data)
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
This won't flash the recovery just allow you to boot to it, then you can flash su there and you're rooted.
Next time you boot to recovery it will stay stock

fastboot boot
As opposed to
fastboot flash
Will just temporarily boot the recovery as opposed to flashing it.
Here is a guide on fastboot if you need help setting up the process

Basically, my xoom has been rooted and currently I have CynogenMod9 RC0 Wingray currently installed.
I wanted to install a new rom but I couldn't do this using CWM Recovery as the SD Card doesn't Mount. Upon doing some reading I found I need to install the Rogue (or EOS) Recovery image. This is where my problems begin as I can connect to the device when the xoom is fully booted in the CM9 and connected via debugging mode(running adb devices returns a sequence of numbers ).
But then when I reboot into the bootloader it gets stuck on "Starting Fastboot protocol support." and i can't connect via adb!!!
I believe this started happening after I unlocked the bootloader but i can't be 100% sure (fastboot oemunlock)
Please help!!!
When it is on fastboot mode you can only use fastboot commands (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) that is how you would install the recovery image from rogue or EOS or TWRP, whichever you choose.
Or to make it easier, you can boot your tablet, install GOO Manager. When you open the GOO manager, tap the setting in the top right corner and choose Install Open Recovery script and let it install TWRP. Then boot to recovery.

You specifically said it says starting fastboot protocol. That's as far as it goes. You then issue fastboot commands, not adb commands

Hi,
you should erase cache (fastboot erase cache). Then try to start recovery directly from phone cause Fastboot boot will only start an
boot Image not recovery.

You might have a corrupted download. Try verifiying the MD5 hashes and if they don't match re-download/flash it.
Hi guys
I'll receive the rma device tomorrow and i wanted to set to factory state the one i have right now , so that i can send it back to google.

Thanks in andvance

just flash the recovery image then

and for last lock the bootloader?

I would do it all just to make sure you are back to complete stock since you mentioned you rooted the device also.
Follow the instructions in the first post of this thread and since you plan to RMA the phone be sure to check the tamper flag and follow the steps outlined to reset it if necessary... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47156064

Code:
. If the tamper flag value is "true", then you'll have to reset it. The following steps will reset this flag, and lock your bootloader.
•So, first, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2239421 (Thanks @osm0sis for the wonderful script)
Under "Flashable Zips", you will find the Nexus BootUnlocker script. Download it.
•Put the zip on your internal storage.
•Download the latest TWRP recovery image for the Nexus 5 from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hammerhead. Rename it to TWRP.img.
Now boot it. You do this by booting your phone in fastboot, and typing the following command:
Code:
fastboot boot path/to/TWRP.img
TWRP recovery should boot.
•Flash the zip in TWRP, then reboot.
Now your bootloader should be locked, and your tamper flag should show "false".
So i have to do this before i flash the stock recovery, since it needs TWRP, am i right?
And else it says that this will lock the bootloader, will i be able to execute the previous commands(flashing recovery and stuff) with a locked bootloader?

No, flash everything back to stock then deal with the tamper flag reset.
Once everything is back to stock but the bootloader is still unlocked, boot into the recovery...
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
Then flash the tamper flag script.

Sorry man but i'm not getting something here.
If i flash everything first, even the recovery will be stock, so i have to flash twrp once again to flash the tamper flag script. So i end up with twrp recovery and the tamper flag reset, while it should be stock recovery and tamper flag reset.
What i'm i missing here?

Hello everyone,
I am a new htc sensation user and I recently rooted it using the traditional method and have been installing roms since then.
However, recently when I was installing CarbonRom Kitkat 4.4.3, the ClockWork Mod recovery told me that I cannot flash the rom ( I don't know for what reason). I thought it was something to do with my recovery. So I decided to flash 4EXT touch recovery but as I have S-on, even after giving the command through fastboot for erasing recovery and all the partitions "fastboot -w" , the command prompt gave me this error " remote access not allowed". So I thought of going on with the flashing and flashed the 4EXT recovery image through fastboot. But when I tried to boot into recovery , the phone was just stuck on the htc white screen.
As I did not erase the recovery and flashed a new recovery, i think that I have overlapped the two recoveries and have corrupted them. Now, my phone boots only into the bootloader and I also have s-on. Can anyone please tell me how to install the stock rom (as I would like to revert back to the original rom) through bootloader and fastboot? i heard about the PG58IMG method but will it work on s-on? Please help me out.
Hi, im guessing u already have recovery.img in ur fastboot folder so try this command from fastboot
fastboot boot recovery.img
Hopefully that will get u there so u can flash a rom but u will have to download 4ext recovery updater app once phone is booted to flash recovery coz doing above command only boots recovery, doesnt flash it. It works on desire s and desire so it should work for sensation too (hopefully)

So this means that I should first flash the recovery and then boot it using the command
fastboot boot recovery.img
?? or should I just boot it up using the command . And is there anyway to give any master commands like erase a partition while on s-on? And which recovery do u prefer CWM or 4EXT?

That is actually where the problem started from. i tried to install 4ext before erasing CWM and I think that caused the problem.
Do you think that recoveries can be overlapped or am i just being pointless? And can you tell me about any master commands like erasing a parition that will work with s-on?

you can overwrite 4ext in top of cwm
i used to have cwm but i changed it with 4ext using only the command

i didn't use any command for erasing partitions

now i can boot to CWM but everytime i boot it goes straight to CWM not to the system
so i tried flashing the boot-root.img using this code again fastboot flash boot boot-root.img (the boot-root.img was provide by superPichu before)
and now my tablet keeps on rebooting =( i can still enter fastboot and CWM any help pls?
What rom was originally on the tablet? You'll have to procure the boot image from that rom and flash it. That or just reinstall the entire rom ...either from fastboot or from cwm. Your data should be intact.
