Terminal Emulator - #flash_image: not found error

[Guest Vansphone]

I am trying to use Terminal Emulator to flash my Vega.

I am using the following commands:

#su

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

I get the response

#flash_image: not found

#ls

shows sdcard in the list

#cd/sdcard

response

#sdcard not found

#/sdcard

response

#/sdcard: permission denied

In a link about another android device is said that if this happens it s most likely that you have not disconnected the device from your computer or the device is in “disk drive”. I don’t understand this comment but I have rebooted into slave and host mode and it does not make any difference.

I have checked and recovery.img is on the SD card.

Any help will be gratefully received.

look in the clockwork thread and follow instructions, you have to guide it to /data/local where flash_image should be pushed too

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't know if it is relevant but I am not using ADB, I am using Terminal Emulator on the device.

I have tried to access /data but I just get permission denied.

I found a post that suggested using Root Explorer to move the files to /data/local. That worked very well.

The problem I had with Terminal Emulator was my lack of Linux command line knowledge. I tried to navigate using "/" changing that to "./" worked and I then did not have the permission issue.

Before trying Terminal Emulator, I tried ROM Manager and Droid X Bootstrapper but neither of them worked. I can now boot to recovery and have made a backup.
