When you flash the CM kernel, use this command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
And then flash the rom and gapps via recovery
And please use Q&A forum next time

Extract the file you downloaded. Copy the .zip inside it and paste it to you sd card. Did you manage to flash the kernel? I.e. phone already boots woth fxp kernel logo.

[Q] Cannot Fastboot into Clockwork Recovery but can boot into it from ROM manager?

Hi
I followed this tutorial (http://nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-root-nexus-s/) to root my Nexus S (GTi-9023). Like a bunch of other people on this site my phone got stuck on the "Google with a pad lock" boot screen (I should have come to xda first). So to get past this i downloaded the stock rom (from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062) and extracted boot.img and then flashed the stock boot image and booted with it as below.
>fastboot flash boot boot.img
>fastboot boot boot.img
This fixed fixed my booting problem and i then used rom manager to install clockwork recovery. I can boot into clockwork recovery from rom manager but not from fastboot. i get an android with an exclamation mark. Any idea why and/or how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Rename /etc/install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak, then reflash the recovery.
DONT use rom manager to flash the recovery it hardly ever works [for me],
If you have 'Android SDK' and 'ADB' then,Download a decent recovery file and place it in your 'Android-SDK/tools" directory, then go to your 'cmd' [command prompt] and navigate to your android-sdk/tools directory ,,example below.
''cd C:/android-sdk/tools'' [cd meaning 'change directory']
Then type, "adb devices" it should list your devices ith a load of numbers and letters, if it does then proceed, if not re-plug your device into the USB [in the bootloader]
Then type,
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and let it do its thing. [if it does not work , make sure you renamed you recovery file to 'recovery.img'
Hope this helps!!

The problem is that with the stock rom the stock recovery gets flashed after boot up (by /etc/install-recovery.sh). Search for install-recovery.sh in the nexus s forums.

status 7 error when updating roms? Bricked? **NOW Fixed!*

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:
> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
reboot to recovery

Should I lose TWRP by doing this command. I seem to always loose my recovery doing android updates, or now when I went back to stock kernel using your instructions, on NEXUS 6P. I just flash the recovery back, but it's still weird.

No TWRP is in the recovery partition. This command flashes the boot partition. On losing TWRP, try flashing SU immediately following TWRP before booting to the System for the first time. Then TWRP will stick.
I did per Heisenberg's instructions, it sticks, but still I lost it after this command that's why it's weird

To keep root and the custom recovery (TWRP) you need to do additional steps
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
start recovery from bootloader
install SuperSU from TWRP

What's in the boot.img? Will it not reset or do something on the rom? Because I just wanted to restore the kernel .

Can it be executed via recovery, install>select image file (boot.img)>choose boot partition>swipe
Or must via fastboot mode?
EASIEST way:
(No need to connect to PC & use fastboot)
— Extract your stock rom .zip,
— Copy 'boot.img' somewhere else on internal or external SD,
— In TWRP select 'flash .img',
— Flash 'boot.img', (DO NOT REBOOT!)
— Now flash your 'recovery.img' again in recovery.
DONE.
Now if you 'reboot to recovery' you still have TWRP, when you 'reboot' you are using the stock boot.img (kernel) too, no need for PC/Fastboot.
KEEP IN MIND!.... After flashing stock boot.img you will need to flash root again AND (depending on device) may trigger 'DM-verity' and/or 'Forced Encryption' (Oxygen OS and others) if you reboot straight away, so make sure if you do NOT want this to flash/re-flash 'DM-verity & force encryption disabler' .zip (search google/the forums here - zackptg5)
Hope this helps anyone in the future.

we need a kernel with recovery or at least sony init, so we can use recovery on its proper partition..
kick-start development on X/suzu ...
ive compiled a boot img from .292 copyleft sources and added ramdisk/twrp..

if someone with a unlocked bootloader could try, it would be great.

i flashed it on my german .292, and its booting.
but im not sure how to enter twrp?
adb reboot recovery results in a 'melting' sony screen and after some second the phone reboots into system.

You can press cancel when twrp asks for password. It will bring you to the main menu, but a lot of stuff isnt working yet. Currently there is no working twrp yet for our xperia X, follow this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-x/development/root-xperia-x-34-0-2-292-modified-t3449708

the person who gave me that recovery, ill assure you that is working... it came from one member of omni core dev's, which owns a suzu...
you dont have access to the rest of the twrp options, cause of the encryption.
remember the first time you booted up your X on stock? it asked to encrypt/set a password on the device because if it got stolen or lost, etc...
fastboot erase boot, fastboot erase system && fastboot erase userdata should get rid of the encryption and you can try twrp.
all this is helpless ofc unless we can get a stock boot image working with sony init, so we can enter recovery when flashed on recovery partition.
if you hotboot the twrp it works right? so it is working.

So when i try to hotboot the f5121_recovery.img for the first time it flashes the image, after that it boots but it gets stuck on a black screen. I did a hard reset and flashed the image with adb and tried to reboot to recovery but it just rebooted. After that i tried again to hotboot the recovery image and after this it finally booted into TWRP. indeed it's asking for password
Will i loose my system and userdata when i use fastboot erase boot, fastboot erase system && fastboot erase userdata?

yes, it will all be wiped.
you can also try adding sony init to your ramdisk. you just need to extract it from boot.img, add the sony init files, rename a file and make a symlink, repack again to boot.img
ill provide the files in a minute.
edit:
after extracting contents of ramdisk, rename "init" to "init.real", and place the files on the root of the extracted ramdisk dir.
symlink is already created, pointing at /sbin/init_sony

If you have a second device, donwload Huawei firmware finder from Play store. Enter your model number and donwload a full package. Doesn't really matter which one. Then just flash it in TWRP without extracting.

Well yeah,it should.
But this is one of those phones that can't really be opened with special tools that I don't really have,and even if i did have them I wouldn't mess with the phone's insides because it's one of those types of phone....
Update:It may have something to do with the roms i have downloaded,I've tried 3 of them and none of them had ANY .img files
No boot.img no recovery.img etc,what am I doing wrong?

Huawei uses some special archiving, there should be an UPDATE.APP inside the downloaded files. You need a tool called Huawei Update Extractor to get the .img files.

Oh I see,and should I just get the .imgs out of the update.app and then flash the rom?
Because so far I can't flash any of them,I get these errors:
E: unknown command [errno]
And
Updater process ended with ERROR : 9

If you want to flash the .img files, you have to enter your Bootloader. Do this by booting TWRP and type adb reboot bootloader. Then, out the .img files into the adb/ fastboot folder and type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
Instead of system.img you need to use the exact filename of the system.img file. I think you need to only use these three commands, but I'll have another look.
Edit: you could also replace your current recovery and then try to flash the update file with the stock recovery. Do this by typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Yes! You can't flash most of it, it's not possible.
Flash Boot, Recovery, System and Vendor. Of that doesn't work, Put the UPDATE.APP into the dload folder on your SD and hold Power, Volume + and Volume -. That should force the flash of the update.
And if that still doesn't work, ask for a TWRP update on the P10 Forums. Then Restore everything except Data.

Got it,flashed system,recovery and boot
Trying to flash vendor I get an error when it's trying to write vendor:
FAILED (remote:Command not allowed)
Still stuck in a boot loop.
I'm gonna put the update.app in the sdcard.
I just create a dload folder in the sd card,put it in,wipe off everything I've flashed and do the 3 button thing,right?

UPDATE: Failed the 3 button thing,maybe I got the wrong ROM,i'll try it with another one,I have a question though
My friend has the same phone as me(p10 lite) and when he goes to about phone and checks out the model number he only sees WAS-LX1
I'm pretty sure i have that same model number now but I can't find a ROM that's specifically WAS-LX1,it's always WAS-LX1 And something added on there like WAS-LX1C02,should I even worry about that?
