Updated with CDMA root instructions - needs testing!

Trying this method out on the CDMA Hero on Sprint using Windows 7 64-bit.

At the command prompt, install-recovery-cdma-windows.bat wouldn't immediately work. In order to make it work, I had to remove all instances of "./" After that, the batch file runs properly... for a bit at least.

The batch seems to stop after adb-windows shell /data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh. Afterwards, this is displayed:

[+] Using newer pipe_inode_info layout
Opening: /proc/651/fd/3
SUCCESS: Enjoy the shell.
#

I took a look at the batch file, and I know there are a few more commands it is supposed to run. Additionally, when I pull the battery and restart while holding down home, I just get a screen with a exclamation mark and a phone (a normal boot gets it back to regular Android just fine, so fortunately, it's not bricked).

Any ideas as to why the batch stops early?

[PaulOBrien]

Ah I was hoping you could script those bits, but maybe not, hmmm, will look into it!

No luck here with scripts completing on Win7 or Mac 10.5 - stopped at "enjoy the shell" right after it SUs the adb shell.  Executed the script by hand instead; <3 TextEdit on one side, Terminal on the other.

Question! I installed the cynagon recovery mod when I first got my Hero, so I could update to the modaco rom (then 2.0 I think, maybe sooner). I've been updating the Modaco rom ever since, great! Should I also update the recovery image, is there any benefit? And is it just a case of overwriting the old one by repeating the steps? Thanks.

The patched recovery image is your gateway to Custom ROM installs and all sorts of cool stuff... here's how to install it onto your device.

- download this file and extract it to your PC or mac
- open a command prompt to the directory containing the extracted files
- type the following commands appropriate to your device / pc...

GSM Hero (a Hero with a SIM card - e.g. the European Hero) on LINUX

chmod +x ./adb-linux
 chmod +x ./fastboot-linux
 chmod +x ./install-recovery-gsm-linux.sh
 ./adb-linux shell reboot bootloader (wait for device to reboot into bootloader)
 ./fastboot-linux boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.2.3.img (wait for device to boot into recovery)
 ./install-recovery-gsm-linux.sh

CDMA Hero (a Hero without a SIM card - e.g. the Sprint Hero) on LINUX

chmod +x ./install-recovery-cdma-linux.sh
 ./install-recovery-cdma-linux.sh

Job done!

There is a slight problem here, YOU must run the first adb command as root user to start up the deamon otherwise

1.1-hero-recovery $ ./adb-linux shell reboot bootloader 
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
error: insufficient permissions for device

you got to kill the daemon

and do

1.1-hero-recovery $ sudo ./adb-linux shell reboot bootloader 
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *

everything from there should just work fine without sudo

You sure you made it as a root user ?

I'm having exactly the same problem as the user you replied to, but I'm not sure what you mean by "made it as a root user"?

Could you please elaborate?

Don't know excactly if it is useful, but that's what I did. from scratch. Now, I run the RA-1.3.2 image. You get the new menus and it's worth the try.

and where do you get the latest? at the beginning of his thread or somewhere else?

also, did you have any kind of troubles after this? applying new modaco roms or anything?

Look at this forum topic: Amon Ra recovery image 1.5.1 out

I installed it without any problems - the menu system looks a lot tidier than in v1.2.3 that is in the attachment at the beginning of this thread.  Not really noticed any other differences yet, but I haven't really played with it yet!

This doesn't work for me.  After I type:

fastboot-windows boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.2.3.img

I get this error: FAILED (remote: not allow)

What can i do?!
Thx

[mr_tim]

I tried running this on my G2 and can't get it to load when pressing the home + power buttons. Instead I get an image like this (shown on a G1) http://bero.freqvibe...public/g1/7.jpg

The first time I ran the first line I got "adb server is out of date. killing... * daemon started sucessfully *". From there I ran the second line and it worked as expected. The recovery screen loaded, I ran Nandroid backup. I also managed to install the latest radio. It seems the only way I'm able to get to the patched recovery is running these commands while my Hero is connected via USB.

Any pointers as to how to get the home + power combination working? Thank you.

sudo adb start-server

than retry

fastboot-windows boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.2.3.img

You have a protected bootloader, you need to use InstantRoot.apk to root then flash the recovery image that way!
