[GUIDE] Guide to Unlocking & Rooting the HTC Rezound

[Pdtate]

"Command Not Found" errors typically mean you're not in the right directory. if you type dir in a command prompt you should see the file(s) you're referencing.
You have two options.

Change directory to wherever your command files are:

cd \androidsdk\platform-tools
fastboot flash recovery <path to>\recovery.img

OR
Reference everything by path

c:\androidsdk\platform-tools\fastboot.exe flash recovery <path to>\recovery.img

In either case, change <path to>\recovery.img to where your amon ra img file is.

Missing the easy stuff I think. C:android exists. Android SDK and fastboot in dir. As is recovery. Typed commands and still stating cannot find file specified

type dir *.img

You should see something like this:

c:\scripts\Android\Zips\Recovery>dir *.img
 Volume in drive C is OSDisk
 Volume Serial Number is E4A6-6D8A

 Directory of c:\scripts\Android\Zips\Recovery

01/25/2012  12:36 PM         7,352,320 recovery-ra-vigor-3.10-gnm.img
               1 File(s)      7,352,320 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  225,181,888,512 bytes free

c:\scripts\Android\Zips\Recovery>

Then you should be able to do:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-ra-vigor-3.10.gnm.img

 

[Pdtate]

Volume in c drive has no label. Serial #

Typing dir yeilds c:users/thetaterpatch

 

[MrSmith317]

Where did you install the AndroidSDK into? You would've used this directory when you unlocked your phone.

 

[Pdtate]

C: program files (86)\android\android-SDK

 

[Pdtate]

(X86) correction

 

[MrSmith317]

Ok so your command would be

"C:\program files (x86)\android\android-SDK\platform-tools\fastboot.exe" flash recovery <path to>\recovery.img

Make sure to include the quotes. and change <path to>\recovery.img to wherever you stored your Amon Ra image file

 

[Pdtate]

Amon ra is in multiple places. My android folder and Went to my user/download folder.c:users\thetaterpatch\downloads

 

[MrSmith317]

Amon ra is in multiple places. My android folder and Went to my user/download folder.c:users\thetaterpatch\downloads

OK then do this:

"C:\program files (x86)\android\android-SDK\platform-tools\fastboot.exe" flash recovery c:\users\thetaterpatch\downloads\<your amon ra.img>

 

[Pdtate]

Dunno how I am managing to mess this up. Unlocking was supposed to be the hard part. Still getting path not found. Is the Dr1vers one click reliable?

 

[MrSmith317]

No clue, I've never used a one click. All you're doing is mistyping the command. Since we know the first part should be right you can type :

"C:\program files (x86)\android\android-SDK\platform-tools\fastboot.exe" flash recovery

Then drag the recovery image file on to your command window. It will type the rest for you. All you have to do is hit enter.

 

[Kevin Rouse]

wow thats was easier than i thought, thanks alot

 

[ghess517]

So, is there an option to switch between amon ra and stock recovery??
How?

What part won't work? Can you give us a screenshot?

 

[echbearsfan]

I get to the cmd screen and it keeps saying that the path is not recognized.

I am assuming you mean one of the fastboot commands? Sounds like you are not in the correct directory...

It should look something like this:

C:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot oem get_identifier_token

If you are getting an invalid path error, then you do not have the command structure correct for your directory structure

 

[echbearsfan]

Ok, WEll I am a total newb at this... ANy chance you can help walk me through it?
