How to Unbrick your phone - Without ADB - Using Fastboot

Guys.. Here's an easy guide for flashing ClockWorkMod Recovery on your phone using "fastboot" and not "adb" when it gets bricked. Some low end phones cant flash ClockWorkMod Recovery using hard buttons. So, that means they cannot flash ClockWorkMod Recovery when their phone gets bricked. But there are alternate ways to flash CWM for any phone with a locked bootloader. Here's the guide for such a phone (Micromax A27):

Requirements:

  1. Your phone with Unlocked Bootloader
  2. SDK installed in your PC (If you haven't click here)
  3. CWM Recovery.img for your phone (click here) Note: If the .img file does not work for you enter you device name with subsequent information in the comments below.
  4. A custom ROM in your phone's SD card to flash while unbricking.
Procedure:
  1. Go to your Adb folder in your SDK i.e. platform-tools

  2. Press shift and right click anywhere in the folder and select Open command prompt here.


  3. Now switch off your phone and open it in fastboot mode (For Micromax A27 - Pres Power+Volume down for 15-20 seconds until fastbot mode appears)
  4. Connect your phone to the PC.
  5. Type fastboot devices in cmd.exe. If your device appears like in the image, then your phone is connected.


  6. Now since your device is connected, copy your phone's recovery.img in the platform-tools folder.
  7. In cmd, type fastboot flash boot recovery.img. Wait till the file is sent. (It takes approximately 10 seconds)
  8. Now again type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Wait till the file is sent. (It takes approximately 10 seconds) 
  9. Once done, remove the battery and turn your phone on. Now you should see CWM as your boot image. 
  10. Clear data, cache and dalvik. Flash your ROM.
  11. That's it. You're done. Enjoy! Your unbricked phone.
Happy Modding!:)
