We are in new territory here now. The days of bootstrap recoveries are over. It's time now to FINALLY be rid of that silly old Motorola Recovery.

How? I'm going to show you. It's quite easy. All you need to do is download this nifty little tool I made for you and it's easy as click.

Just make sure you've got your drivers installed, USB debugging is enabled and that you have UNZIPPED this package BEFORE you run it.

Thank you all for your help

 

If you do not want to one click this. I will now explain to you how it works and you can try it on your own. I want to help teach you guys how to do this as well as not give you...er bad help.

For the sake of saving time, I will provide you with a copy of ADB (Android Debugging Bridge) so you do not have to go through the time of downloading the entire

. Place it on your desktop and UNZIP it. However, should you wish to learn how to properly install and set up the Android SDK, please

.

Also, on the quest to save time. I have zipped up and will include all 3 recoveries for you.

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

. Unzip those and place all 3 into the ADB folder you just unzipped.

Next, I would like you to press and hold Shift and RIGHT click on the ADB folder. Select from the contextual menu "Open Command window here". This will open a command line for you, already browsed to the folder on your desktop. Now, the easy part.

Ensure you're phone is plugged into your computer, that you have all the necessary drivers installed and that USB debugging mode it ticked in Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging.

Now we will run some commands and I will tell you what they do. So let's start with killing an previously running ADB deamon that may already be running:

Next, we will connect to your device:

If it hangs at this point, then you are having communication issues with your PC. Check your drivers, your wire, or untick and then retick Usb debugging. If we want to be doubly sure you can run

If you are given what looks like a serial number, then we are indeed connected. If it just says "List of Devices" but no serial number, you are not connected, go back a step.

Now, we need to start communicating with the shell on your phone. And we are going to want to be running as root so we can complete the process. So next we will type

You may be prompted with a Superuser prompt on your phone, Grant it permission. You will now be met with a new prompt something like root@android:/# We will then move on and mount /system, remember, no ADB prefix to these commands:

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

Now, depending on what ROM you are on, some people had trouble with the recovery removing a script that motorola puts in place to over write any custom recoveries you may flash. So we are going to get rid of this file before we move forward.

Also, the "Patch" that is stored on your phone that the aforementioned script would have flashed to erase your custom recovery

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

Ok, now that that's gone we need to back out of shell and get back to your windows CMD line. (Note, depending on your set up, you may need to run the exit code twice. Once to get out of SU and again to completely exit shell. If you are back to your original C:\user\me\desktop\ADB prompt then there is no need to exit again or you will close you Windows CMD. So:

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

Ok, We are going to put the recovery of your choosing into a temporary location until we're ready to flash it. Keep in mind, you will need to use the name of the recovery you intend to flash. So if its CWM you're pushing cwmrecovery, if it's Team Win, then it's twrprecovery and if it's stock Motorola then it will be motorecovery. I will use CWM in my example, you just need to change the name so it reflects the recovery you are trying to flash.

It will proceed to tell you how long it took. Tip, if it says no such file or command, this means that the recovery of your choosing is not in the ADB folder that we put on your desktop. So now, we will flash it. but first back into shell

If you're really feeling brazen and are only using a Moto, Nexus, or HTC device. You could use fastboot to achieve the same deal. I find it to be a lot more work. But others for some reason find it to be easier. IDK? Anyway download the same set of

. Only this time you will need an additional package that includes not only ADB files but also the Fastboot binary.

UNZIP this to your desktop and place the recovery images into this folder!

Next, I would like you to press and hold Shift and RIGHT click on the ADB-Fastboot folder. Select from the contextual menu "Open Command window here". This will open a command line for you, already browsed to the folder on your desktop. Now, the easy part.

From this point on, we need to be sure that the recovery of our choice is in our " C:\Users\me\desktop\ADB-Fastboot\ " folder. It's now time to reboot into our bootloader.

We will now issue 2 commands, one after the other to flash the new recovery. Again, I will use Clockworkmod as my example, but you will need to replace the commands with the recovery of your choosing.

Next we will reboot our bootloader

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

When this is finished, power down your device.
Next press and hold, Power & VOL- to boot ur phone up to the bootloader selection menu. From here, use Vol - to highlight "Recovery" and Vol + to select it. It is vital that you go into your new recovery BEFORE you boot up your device fully again.

Once you get booted up to your recovery of choice, you may now boot back into Android. You're done!

Using fastboot is actually more steps. I could add all that too it, but it envolves a whole lot more commands.

i also noticed alot of people having problems not realizing that flashing cm10 replaces your stock boot.img and therefore wont let you flash a stock rom without flashing a stock boot.img

Yeah, we all need to unlearn all the old methods of flashing about ROMs. Most people are accustomed to flashing a stock ROM through recovery. What needs to happen for everyone now is they need to flash boot and system imgs in fastboot if they want to go back to stock.

Tried that, it just sits at the warning screen, won't even boot the phone. I installed a 2.3.2.3 twrp version that doesn't get hung up after backup either. Works fine

The version in the tool. However I am on CWM now so that is good.

More important issue, however. I have lost the ability to charge. I was rooted running safestrap and the energy rom 3/18/13. Once I unlocked the bootloader, I get an exclamation point over my battery in the status bar and it will not charge on wall charger. Only charges when connected to usb very, slowly. I cannot seem to re-flash the energy rom while on recovery. I get "unable to flash energy_ROM_RAZRM_03.14.2013.zip" reason "error".

Interestingly. The charging issue cleared itself up. I must have disconnected it during some process. A reboot while attached to the pc has now fixed it. The exclamation point is gone, and it charges on both wall and pc. Weird.
