Installing recovery using fastboot

You can use fastboot to install your recovery image to the device.

Installing ClockworkMod Recovery on the {{{device_name}}}

1. Connect the {{{device_name}}} to the computer via USB.
2. Make sure the fastboot binary is in your PATH or that you place the downloaded image in the same directory as fastboot.
3. Open a terminal on your PC and reboot the device into fastboot mode by typing adb reboot bootloader or by using the hardware key combination.
4. Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC sees the device by typing fastboot devices
   • If you don't see your device serial number, and instead see "<waiting for device>", fastboot is not configured properly on your machine. See fastboot documentation for more info.
5. Flash ClockworkMod Recovery onto your device by entering the following command: fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img where the latter part is the name of the file you downloaded.
6. Once the flash completes successfully, reboot the device into recovery to verify the installation. This can be done by typing fastboot boot your_recovery_image.img.
   • Note: Some ROMs overwrite recovery at boot time so if you do not plan to immediately boot into recovery to install WebOS Ports Open webOS, please be aware that this may overwrite your custom recovery with the stock one.
