Guest Palo_ Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I do have problems mounting SD in the recovery console. There is the option to fash it via bootloader fastboot erase recovery fastboot flash recovery *filename of recovery in the pc directory cmd is running in* Erase is important in my case because without erase I was getting some error as well.

Just give this command when you have the recovery image in the directory you have changed too. 'adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img' 'adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img' Note :- If you have the recovery image in your sdcard, then you don't need to give the first command.

Guest werziluk Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 For those installing the coloured versions make sure you change your adb commands to suit the file name. Kareem613, are you attempting a coloured version? if so it will be: adb shell mount -a flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2-blue.img note the word BLUE at the end!

Guest movetorecyclebin Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) First of all, thanks for your work !! I was unable to flash. So, I've downgraded the ROM using HTC Official Rom Upgraded the recovery by using Flashrec (v1.1.3) - copy flashrec and recovery on your sdcard - install flashrec (using any explorer program) - start flashrec and point to the recovery file (for example /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2-blue.img) Then start recovery (Home+power), wipe data and re-flash new 2.1ROM (HeroDroid which is a good 2.1 ROM for daily use) Edited March 9, 2010 by movetorecyclebin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the same error. flash_image: not found It looks like the command flash_image itself is missing. Where would that be on the filesystem so I can check? I dug in sys/bin. Its not there.

Guest kareem613 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Have you tried the fastboot method ? Ya. Same error. I just realized what it might be. Do I have to be booted into the current recovery console to do this? I've been trying it with the phone booted up normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest venturerider Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Yes. Boot into recovery mode and issue the "adb shell flash_image" command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boot into recovery mode and issue the "adb shell flash_image" command. I use the 'flash_image' command everytime I have to flash the recovery image and my phone is booted normally but you can give it a try by going into the recovery console.

Guest Alsybub Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 For those asking for a step by step: To flash recovery Make sure that CMD is in the directory of the image you wish to flash. For example if you placed the recovery image in the root of the android sdk folder named 'androidsdk' in the root of the C: drive, you would enter: cd c:\androidsdk This example is using recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img but you can substitute this name with whatever image name you wish adb shell reboot bootloader fastboot boot recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img adb shell mount /sdcard adb push recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img adb shell reboot If you want to confirm that the flash was successful then enter adb shell reboot recovery instead of adb shell reboot in the last step.

Guest deeone Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) ...or you can do it from your phone using one of the many terminal emulator apps in the Android Market: - Download the image to the SD Card (/sdcard/recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img) - Open up the terminal application - Type "su" at the prompt - Type "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img" at the prompt - Just wait a little bit... - Done! (turn off the phone then turn it on again holding down power + home to test it) ..i use better terminal emulator pro but it's a paid app!

Guest venturerider Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 LOL! I just remembered something. I was unable to do the flash_image from a normal boot so I did it from recovery mode. Now that I think about it, the flash_image could not find the img file on the sd card. I'll bet you anything I had my SD card mounted to my PC. D'oh! LOL!

Did the above to update recovery image but appears its now screwed up the recovery.....i can not boot into any recovery now, however the phone will boot into MODACO rom so at least the phone will work. Will i now have to down grade again or can i repair the recovery mode?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
