Hi there!
I have a ZTE Warp Sync which has root access via KingRoot.
There's no way (As far as I can find from Google) to unlock the bootloader.
Seeing as you can flash the system image from the recovery, would it be possible to do the opposite and flash the recovery image from the system?
I found an app called Flashify, and I believe I also saw one called Rasher.
I can get a backup of the recovery image from flashify, which I can then upload to the CWM recovery builder builder.clockworkmod com to get a CWM image for the phone, correct?
My question then is, can I provide the CWM image to flashify to flash the recovery without a. Having an unlocked bootloader, and b. having a custom recovery?
Thanks for any help!

I tried using superboot to root my nexus s, but ended up with having a stuck google screen upon reboot.
Is there anyway I can recover my phone to the original state. I can get into the boot screen by pressing up volume and the power button and I have downloaded an original rom; however, I don't know how to upload this rom
into the phone.
I unlocked the bootloader, and have the android SDK installed. I do have a response when I use the command "fastboot devices"
Is there any possible way to save my phone? Please help, Thanks in advance
is there a recovery image saved under the recovery option?
Hey I'm having the exact same problem as the OP.
I don't have a recovery image saved in recovery, so I tried to flash the latest CWM recovery image through adb, but the device isn't found.
My phone was rooted, then upgraded to 2.3.4, then got 2.3.6 OTA, but lost root. Tried to root with Superboot and now my phone's stuck.
How can I get my phone to work again?

You have to flash CWM using fastboot, not adb.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once you have the custom recovery flashed you can flash superuser in CWM to get root back or just flash one of the custom ROMs that include superuser.
Yes, I did exactly that.
I really have no idea what I'm doing so I'm extremely grateful for people who do.
Thanks
I am in the same boat as these other chaps. After installing the 2.3.6 OTA update I tried to root with Superboot and now my Nexus S just sits on the Google screen with the open padlock.
I've tried installing CWM recovery, as well as the boot.recovery.img that comes with Superboot, and it seems to install successfully. After rebooting my phone still sits on the Google screen, however.
Am I doing something wrong here (I'd previously rooted with few problems)?
EDIT: I should mention that after flashing the .img I'm trying to boot into recovery - at this point it just sits on the Google screen.
EDIT 2: Never mind, I sorted it. I tried using a different recovery.img (from this thread) and I was then able to get into recovery and restore a backup.
Hey all,
Is there anyway I can switch from my TRP recovery to a CWM recovery?
@RiceydDr0id.... Unless I'm missing something here, surely all you have to do is download the latest CWM Recovery then use TWRP to install it.
Just flash CWM as you flashed TWRP.

Please, post which phone model you have and the Android version. Also, make a backup of your stock recovery (I use Rashr Flash Tool, you need root) before installing another.
To install the recovery you have to flash it, the TWRP app just tells you if there exists a recovery for you (and some models are not listed in the app either).
If you haven't found any custom recovery, you could try and adapt the recovery of a similar phone to yours (similar processor, resolution...), but it is risky and can turn your phone into a stone. It implies replacing the .ks modules and testing. I don't know enough about it, but there are threads on XDA where you can get hints on how to do these things.

Can you boot into the recovery? Or fastboot? Also before trying to install a new ROM did you backup your previous?

Can't boot into recovery mode, maybe something went wrong while updating TWRP to 3.0.2 but can boot into fastboot.
also had backup of previous rom but since i can't boot into TWRP now so can't restore it. Earlier on TWRP 2.8.6 i was getting zip file execution error while restoring/installing new ROM.
So for now i have only access to fastboot mode, how to proceed futher?

You have 2 options you can flash the stock rom and recovery via fastboot here is a guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541 (Just skip step 4 don't relock the bootloader specially if you want to install TWRP) Make sure you download the correct file there is a 64gb and a 16gb listed in this guide or you can download the stock file straight from cynogen OS here https://cyngn.com/support
Or you can reinstall TWRP via fastboot by downloading TWRP here https://dl.twrp.me/bacon/ and install your backup if its still there. If its not there you can either download and install any custom rom you want or if you want the stock rom go with option 1 above and then re-install twrp. (Always remeber after installing TWRP don't fully boot into the system or you will loose TWRP, boot straight to recovery once its done flashing TWRP by holding the power button and volume down. )

Thank you Durso81,
i have successfully installed TWRP & ROM.
Thanks for your time & effort for a beginner.
Hi, my name is Apurv
I was looking for a TWRP recovery for my Mediatek MT6580 phone Homtom Ht3.
I came across a boot image which said that it is for only mediatek phones and can be flashed using flashify only.
Sorry since I am new, I can't insert outside links and images.
I followed all the steps given on the site and flashing the boot image was successful.
When I checked whether this new recovery works or not, my phone directly booted to Factory mode
with following options:- Auto Test, Manual Test, Item Test, Test Report, Debug Test, Clear eMMC, Version, Reboot.
I don't recognize this recovery. Is it TWRP? Because I believe it is CWM. And if it is CWM then how can I go to the Recovery mode?
I do have Kernel and Stock backups on flashify, if I install them, is it going to reinstall my original recovery?
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi !
the "boot.img" file you have flashed is not a recovery , it is a kernel
The messages you have seen are most probably related to a recovery , maybe stock recovery
Restore the boot img and stock ( I`m not sure what "stock" is ) if you have saved it and if you`re able to restore it
Good luck !
