Sorry if this is a "noob" question. Can you flash a custom kernel on rooted stock s on or do you need s off? I'm looking to flash a kernel for better battery life on stock rom with amon ra recovery. Answer appreciated.

Yes! You won't be able to flash it in recovery. But you can take the boot.img out of the zip and flash it in fastboot.
Noob again. Fastboot is via USB command prompt on pc? And just flash the boot img there? I'm not the greatest using that. But I can follow directions and read just fine. (Lots of people can't)

Yes, this is via command prompt on your pc:
Extract the boot.img to your adb folder then execute this command:
cd c:\(adb folder name)
then: adb reboot-bootloader
then: fastboot devices (this should return your phone's s/n to make sure you're connected)
then: fastboot flash boot boot.img
then: fastboot reboot

I was trying to install the 1.3Ghz OC update.zip, when I installed the one for froyo on accident. I noticed this when it wasn't booting. So I popped the battery out and restarted the phone, using the appropriate OC from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153003. Anything I can do or am I SOL and need to restart off backup?
When I was stuck at the Dual Core screen I had to wipe everything via fastboot then flash a CWM (I used romracer's) via fastboot as well. Once you do that, you can reboot into the CWM and install whatever you'd like from there.
how can you flash Romrace by fastboot when you doesn't of access to the os ou adb ? thx in advance

OK so you need to go to where ever your recovery.img is in command prompt have your ATRIX connected in fast boot ,wipe the cell then use "adb install recovery recovery.img" and whatever recovery you used should be on your cell

Does anyone know to flash Mikrunny 1.06 on hboot 1.5 if so can you guide through it the times ive tried it hangs on the white htc screen thanks in advanced
I would assume you would flash it like any other rom. Flash kernel using Flash Image GUI or fastboot, then flash rom zip.

If you don't have the flash image gui app, just boot your phone into recovery using fasboot. From your computer, open up a command prompt, and navigate to the folder that contains your recovery.img. Then plug your phone in, adb reboot bootloader. Then it will be in fastboot. From there, type fastboot boot recovery.img (or whatever the name of your recovery.img is). Then your phone will boot to recovery and you can flash anything you want like normal. No need to flash the kernel separately or anything like that.
Aight thanks was able to flash with flash image gui thanks.
hey all,
well i unlocked my bootloader okay.. i used the android super toolbox (.bat file) and choose to flash a recovery.img i choose the Amonra option but it installed CWM recovery instead...and now I cannot get Amonra to succussfully flash, so that I can root. Any help?!
Reboot boot loader and use fast boot to flash amon ra. I think its called recovery.img and its in the tools folder of that tool. Put it in the folder you have adb and fasboot and then while in boot loader do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Make sure you're in fast boot mode and you can see in the command prompt it sent it
So go to boot loader then click on fastboot

This is kind of wrong... I'm assuming you've CD (changed directories) to the platform-tools in order to use fastboot. With that being the case, you'll want to specify the "path of the recovery" not the "name of the recovery" + .img of course.

You are placing the recovery image in the same folder correct ? but yes that would be the correct path. I don't know why you would change name as long as you are typing it in correctly.
I always change the name to make it easier to type. Example: cwm-touch.img or recovery.img. I never leave it all crazy like "clockwork-vigor-5.5.1-recovery.img"

I just did it though ubuntu.... god i love linux lol thanks all for ur input
i did notice this on the hboot screen
Open DSP v10.6.0.7611.00.0919
maybe that was there before, but i just noticed it. anything in the name of S-Off!
What is the error you are getting?
The phone is in fastboot, yes? It says "fastboot usb"?
Are you using a folder named "Root" or do you just have your stuff all loose in root? I would keep it in a folder, name it whatever you like, android or something. Put everything you need in there, including the recovery zip file.
Open cmd prompt.
cd c:\android
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
That should do it. I've attached a pic of what I have in my folder which is all you need in there.

have you atleast unlocked your bootloader is the first question...and if so easiest, do you have root access?... way i found to flash a recovery is like this:
have a fully charged battery
boot into your hboot screen and select fastboot
plug the phone into the computer with the data cable
once the phone is loaded open a terminal or ms-dos window
navigate to where you have the fastboot.exe command and make sure you have your new recovery as "recovery.img"
then type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and then let it write it to your phone then unplug it and reboot into your new recovery

first you have to write your recovery to that partition and like if you download teamwin recovery rename it to recovery.img etc....then you can boot into the new recovery
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
(This will reboot you into boot loader)
Then to flash recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery name.img
(Change "name" to the name of your recovery. )
Then you should be good.

Hello!
so I just unlocked my boot loader for my Verizon Droid DNA, I am using this forum page and his software that the person created ( [email protected]'s HTC DROID DNA ALL IN ONE KIT. here is the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2000896 and my question is. when I select TWRP 2.4.0.0 in the software all comes up is the command prompt and no where on the forum or on the app tells me how to run the root for my DNA, if someone so kind to tell me what the command prompt to run the TWRP root in this app. also someone said that I need to run the perm root after I root the phone, is that correct if so what is the command script to run this as well.
THANKS!
So you haven't installed a custom recovery correct.

correct I see the TWRP in the recovery folder in the where the app is located. so far I just got my bootloader unlocked so I can root the phone. I also hear that clockworkmod recovery is a better root than TWRP but cant find a good forum walkthrough for clockworkmod.
Thanks!

I personally like twrp, but it really doesn't matter. I'd reccomend you try both and see which one you like. But anyway,
download a recovery to your computer.
Put your phone into fastboot and connect it to your computer
Open a command prompt where the recovery image file you downloaded is located(shift right click, open command prompt here)
Type "fastboot devices" to make sure your computer sees your phone
Type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", but replace the recovery.img with whatever the file was named.
Now you should have a custom recovery. Which will allow you to install a superuser package so you can have root access on pure stock. And it also lets you flash custom kernels and roms.
If you had any issues just post what the issue is.

yes. I am in fastboot on my phone when I run the command. so what I did was I pulled the file TWRP out of the folder and put it in the same folder where Fastboot app is at and then rename from TWRP to Recovery.img and then ran the command and again and it was done in like 2 sec and all it said its finished. so I rebooted my phone and download Superuser and also tired to download an rooted app but still doesn't seem to work... and superuser is complaining there is no kernel....
What happens when you run superuser?
Maybe provide a screenshot.

I think that since you don't have a /system writeable kernel you'll need to flash it. Download the zip from here and flash it.

Or you can download the file from your phone. In the recovery it will appear in "downloads", and you should just be able to flash it from there.
