Hello everybody!
Sorry to be the noob, but one must start somewhere before being a decent user!
I give you quickly the background: First I flashed the phone with the European version rom with flashboot in it.
Then I installed Froyo by Ankuch and Quarx through flashboot
And after this I installed Gingerbread by Mur4ik thanks to the exe made by eoghan2t7 in flashboot mode.
I read many times about clockwork recovery, however I do not have the impression to have came accross a specific version of the firmware such as the European version rom. Would it be by any chance included in Cyanogene Android by Mur4ik? I don't think so unfortunately!
Other question: What is best, recovery or flashboot? Apparently recovery is safer, and it would not be a bad thing given my computer savviness level ahah!
Thanks in advance!
Nevermind, I figured it out, if somebody needs help and I can be useful I would be more than happy to explain how I did it despite my weak level in computers.
Or I can explain it here for you, Fastboot is apparently more easier, if you had a usb connector from your phone to comp, because, you're gonna connect it to the PC anyway, so why not just do it on the comp?

I know it's offtopic, but can you send a backup from your recovery image to me (or have you flashed one with clockworkmod already)? Cause i haven't fastboot AND clockworkmod anymore after a little expiriment

Thank you AntonJrL for your support! Now I thing I got it though.
The line between fastboot and recovery was blurry for me, I thought it was a different firmware than the one I installed for fastboot.
Now I figured out that the recovery mod was inside the pack with the 2.3.3 rom and I flashed it on my phone. Now I can reboot in recovery mod so I will have to worry less about bricking my phone
Jasper580, do you want the file for flashing recovery in your phone?
Hi, i prefer fastboot because is easier. You just have to download the ROM in your puter then plug your phone in fastboot mode,copy the .img files into /tools folder then open the cmd type few codes and voila you have flashed your phone.
cheers!
I too prefer fastboot over recovery,
I've never had a problem with fastboot but in recovery I get MD5 mismatch.

Recovery is easier, but in fastboot you dont have problems like old recovery, md5 mismatch etc
Sorry for my english
@partyk95juve
i also think so, but i've never done the fastboot yet
so i will try it the next week .... and i hope i will not crash my phone
hey mimm.m nice to see you here
it's me michabilbang.de
back2topic:
i've done both ways, via recovery mod at my first time with swiftdroid 1.8.
If you restart your phone in recovery mod or fastboot, it's not much difference, at recovery you do it with your phone, at fastboot via pc.
But i prefer fastboot, i just have to run a bat file and it puts all on my phone.
i use fastboot but i dont like it, ive bricked my phone a few times with it.
recovery is very easy! and not need a computer with full driver

Recovery Doesn't delete files or apps.
Fastboot Does But theres a way to make it not to delete which I didn't Try yet.
Fastboot VS Recovery
Fastboot is easy but i needs the computer everytime you want to change ROM.
Recovery on the other hand also needs your computer to install clockwork however once installed you have the convenience of changing your ROM as often and anywhere you like as long as you have the .zip file on your SD card.
can anybody tell me from where i can get clockwork mod image which can i use with rom manager.

fastboot tool...much easier
So it seems I have messed up my phone decently bad
decided to go back and reload everything from scratch but unfortunately flashed back a CWM version thats 3.0.1 and when I try to flash my old recovery (ICS CM9) it gives me error 7
I am guessing thats because I have to install 5.0 CWM can anyone explain to me how to do this?
Thank you so much all!
Yan
More Info:
Ok so heres the deal.
I was originally running CM9 from Nexus MV ICS rom with a Franco Kernel.
All was well and phone was rock solid for weeks since he released with everything working.
as the update came out I was told I should revert back to 2.3.6 and wait for the OTA update that way I could have the true OEM ICS. It is pretty much 90% of why I originally Rooted and unlocked my phone.
I used this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
and downloaded
Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/UCKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader
Official, signed, can flash with ClockworkMod or stock recovery. Contains recovery, radio and bootloader.
That I flashed using CWM
Phone rebooted fine but had no SuperUser file and seemed like it no longer was rooted so though if I go back and re-root it should be fine.
Went to.
http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s-or-nexus-s-4g-new/
and went straight to instruction 5) Open up a command prompt by typing “cmd” under Start->Search Programs and files.
Then type “cd \nexussrootnew” to browse into the directory in Windows. For Linux and Mac, should be similar to “cd /nexussrootnew“.
Then type “fastboot oem unlock“.
Thats when I went back to CWM 3.1.0.1 and tried to install any rom or backup and it just seems to give me Status 7 error.
I hate that I cant figure this out alone but I am a little lost.

Download CWM 5.0.2.0 and rename the .img to recovery.img
(i'll assume you have phone drivers and everything working, and fastboot)
Put the recovery.img into the same directory as your fastboot.exe
Boot into your bootmanager (vol up+power)
Plug phone into PC
Open up CMD prompt and change to the directory where you have fastboot.exe
(cd c:\android\tools) for example
type in:

reboot to recovery

Michael Hall writes about how you can win an OPPO Find 5 by porting Ubuntu Touch to it!
http://mhall119.com/2013/08/win-an-oppo-find-5/
So they're asking:
-developers who don't own the phone to develop for it so they can win one, which is nearly impossible.
-developers who own the phone to develop for it so they can win a second one.
sounds a bit weird.
(Of course winning somthing is always cool, but you get the point)

-True, but during XDA: DevCon we had 3 people without a phone produce images for it, and it's not a one-chance thing, you can resubmit as often as you like.
-How about this, if you already have a Find 5, give me the same of somebody who you think should get this one instead. Could be a friend, or somebody who's work in the XDA community you think should be rewarded.
Despite having three separate developers build images and flash them onto the phone, none were able to boot into Ubuntu Touch.

It shouldn't touch your recovery partition at all, do you mean you can't go to recovery because it doesn't boot?
What does adb reboot recovery do?
Otherwise just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img a TWRP image, but this is pretty weird.
Oh, and when I say flash the Ubuntu base after, you don't need to reboot in between, just flash both zips one after the other, the build first and the ubuntu base afterwards. (Also remember to do a factory reset, wipe dalvik-cache and, optionally, /system

fuqqqq well right now it WONT boot up just stays in the green oppo logo splash screen but....
This is what ive done so far so i can flash the TWRP image back on....I do fastboot flash recovery "here i put the recovery .img" but it doesnt want to flash it.
Then I thought why dont i just flash the other file you told me to flash So I try to do that..
I run fastboot flash recovery saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf and i get the following error
I get error cannot load ' saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf''
I even tried it on the recovery .img file but i get
error cannot load 'openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-find5'
What i should of done was what you said, flash one right after the other but I didnt...... I by 2nd nature just wiped dalvik cache and i tapped reboot system. So im kinda stuck right now. Does it help that when I do fastboot devices I can see the random numbers generated by my device? I read on a blog for the oppo find 5 that After entering this command ( fastboot devices ), you’ll see the random numbers appeared in the command prompt. This is to ensure that your device is properly connected.)
ANY help you give me is valued. Thank you sir.

From your error message, you simply didn't add the .img extension to the twrp image
Also, you can't fastboot a zip, don't try.
But, did you try to simply do the following?
Code:
adb reboot recovery
There's absolutely no reason why it would have overwritten your recovery, my guess is you can't reboot to recovery using the button combination.
Anyway, if the above doesn't work, follow these steps to reflash your recovery:
Open a terminal on your pc
Make sure you cd to the directory where your twrp image is
issue the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-find5[COLOR="DarkRed"].img[/COLOR]
Reboot to recovery using:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Are you on windows or linux?
Okay so I did that I flashed the recovery.img then I rebooted using fastboot reboot
Now i proceed to doing adb reboot recovery but i get
error: device not found
Please excuse me as i am not an elite developer im not a noob nor an expert but It could be that I couldnt get the drivers for the phone installed. I know adam outler on G+ said as quoted
+Franco Colomba I had no such issues with drivers. The only thing was ADB needed an extra USB VID added.

I don't think it's an usb driver issue since you have fastboot working. It's true that we don't have adb access when in fastboot mode.
Follow this guide, it's exactly about your issue and assumes you're on windows: Unbrick the Find 5(Software unbrick via fastboot)

Try this:
Download a CM build
Open it with winrar and extract the boot.img from it
hold shift and do a right-click in the folder where you extracted the boot.img, and select "open a terminal here" (or whatever the header is)
Issue this command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now try again to reboot to recovery using the buttons combination
hurray so i managed to get the phone working by using a script found in that one thread you linked me too.. never the less i managed to get into TWRP and from there i had already made a backup (THANK GOD) and i restored and the phone is up and running perfectly. Now what Im going to do is what you instructed to do first.
1. the build first
2. then the ubuntu base afterwards
with
factory reset, wipe dalvik-cache
i will post back my results wish me luck

I've noticed that the Find 5 is kind of hit-or-miss when trying to get into recovery using the power+volume-down combo. It seems that maybe you need to have it disconnected from USB, and start pressing volume-down very soon after, but not at the same instant, as the power button. Also, it takes a while of looking at the OPPO splash before it gets into recovery.

Yes mhall you are correct. I found a little trick to get it into recovery...well im not sure if its a trick or not but its what helped me get back into recovery after it not booting up. I might make a video about it later. But heres an update:
So i flashed both the build and the preinstalled package and then did factory reset which wipes out cache and dalvik
then i rebooted.
RESUTLS: it stays on the bootscreen aka OPPO GREEN LOGO.
what do you think is the problem now Androguide.fr ?

Yeah, Michael Hall reported to me that the build doesn't boot either.
I'm working on a new build using a different toolchain, as with the stock Google TC I had to hack my around -Werror flags and this might be the problem.

Hello Everyone. I need some help with restoring my shield because I seem to have soft-bricked it. Last week I rooted and installed a custom recovery file and all was well but this past weekend I was messing around with it trying to install the custom rom for full android and I think I accidentally deleted the boot file and the recovery file because all I get is the android on his back with the red triangle. Also, when I try to connect to the unit using fastboot nothing is found but I DO get a hit if I put the unit in stock recovery, it gives me the option to click apply update from adb.
From what I have been reading it sounds like I should be able to sideload the recovery and/or the stock firmware. Can anyone confirm or provide me with instructions on how to get this unit back up and running.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Wow I expected people to jump on this one. I guess I'll just keep messing around with it
Hy, here is the firmware and the instructions:

Thanks but I already looked at those and it only provides details for using fastboot which I am unable to use.. device will only show up when I use the regular recovery method and the only option is apply update from adb.
So, if you perform a adb reboot bootloader command from adb it doesn't reboot into the bootloader?

He can only do this if he can adb into the bootloader, hence my question. The implication appears to be that he can't if I'm reading his comments correctly.

Correct. I can only use sideload at this time. Yesterday I was messing around with it a little more trying to sideload the recovery but I kept getting a message saying "The footer was incorrect" and it would cancel the install. I tried different files to make sure I wasn't dealing with a corrupted zip file but they all gave the same message.
I'm trying to figure out how to sideload the recovery

So this is what happened, I was on I MedroM v3, so I was there was a firmware in beta (the 7.0 update) so I've done it and now I'm stuck in a bootloop
, I flashed the Nougat recovery so it locked my bootloader
and removed TWRP so I can't even go to flash the old rom
again. I also can't get the product id now cause I don't have an OS installed, there's no way to pull it without it an OS. I have tried every existing method possible and nothing (including the sd
card method with update.app and bla bla bla)
So I can't flash files through fastboot It says " Command not allowed"
Can somebody please help me, I have experience with flashing and everything but I in my entire life have not seen that a phone company so big doesn't have a ******** flashtool
or some other way of recovering hard bricked devices instead of buying a new motherboard or something..
If somebody could help me I would be so grateful! Please excuse my language I'm very mad and frustrated, I need my phone for work and now I'm offline..
- Fastboot is available but the bootloader is locked
- No TWRP
- No OS Installed
Download a firmware you want, extract the update.app and put it in sd card folder. From the phone completely shutdown, press vol +, vol - and power at the same time hold it until the updater with percentage progress moving appears.. you should be fine after that.. ? i believe. Maybe try it. That's what i did on my case
No, It says "Software Install failed! Incompatability with current software version"
When I go to eRecovery t says that it cant connect to WIFI.
As I said i tried every known method and I can't get it to work. Spent my whole day trying to fix it, I'm out of ideas

If somebody could help me I would be so grateful! Please excuse my language I'm very mad and frustrated, I need my phone for work and now I'm offline..

I had the same problem, but with the L31.
First try to use https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
Then with the file i send you attached (MAF32)
- Fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Fastboot flash system system.img
- Fastboot flash cust cust.img
- and finally TWRP
After that i puted the first exctrated uppdate.pp in my memory card and with the "3 buttons" process i flashed it. Then i repeated the same process with the second one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...droid-nougat-dev-build-huawei-t3488360/page33). After this finished, again with the 3 buttons i made a factory reset.
5 minutes later, it was working.
i don't understand how to boot to fastboot ? and where to get these img files i am really stuck here pleaase
You don't understand, In order to unlock the bootloader i need the product ID which you get by typing some number combination in the dialer. I cant get to the dialer cause I dont have any OS installed, cause the old was dirty flashed. So thats why i cant flash TWRP etc..
hello, i'm using Huawei P9 Lite VNS-L21. i tried to flash the stock nougat Firmware Which i actually did and it worked flawless! but there was a little problem because there wasn't any Software update option in there, so after that i wanted to downgrade to stock MM. IDK what happened wrong while installing that, my phone got BRICKED. i don't have the Erecovery and twrp either. i cant flash firmware via DLOAD Method. the only thing i have is FASTBOOT mode..
i tried literally everything.. but nothing working..
I sent it to HUAWEI CUSTOMER CARE and they returned it back after a couple of days...
im really very worried because ive been using this phone for like 2 months ... and now im helplesss, If anybody is reading this please help/ assist me out of this.. i'd be really greatfull if anybody's going to help me out..

Why don't you flash TWRP in fastboot mode?
fasboot flash recovery recovery.img

Ok, this is what I would do if I were you. I would pick a rom in the development section, eg. RR. Then I would extract it and get the system image and boot image and fastboot flash them. To extract the rom, use SuperR's Kitchen.
Hope this helps.
