Guest gianka84 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Hi guys, I've flashed a wrong recovery image, it was for Dream and not for Hero. I've flashed the last v1.5.2 by Amon_RA and now i cannot go in recovery mode. I tried flashing the backup or other recovery for Hero (with RecFlasher, because I can't with Fastboot), but everytime i try to boot with Home+Power i only get an icon (a triangle + a phone). How can i flash back a right recovery image for my Hero 2.73.405.5? Now my phone runs, but i cannot go in recovery mode, only in fastboot bootloader. Thanks to all! p.s. I can still get superuser rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gianka84 Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 I've done with FlashRec. Now it works again. Close please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pulser Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Nice to hear :) For reasons of posterity in future incase someone looks at this thread in weeks/months time, this should also be possible to fix on fastboot. Use these commands: fastboot erase recovery fastboot flash recovery correct_hero_recovery.img Alternatively, use fastboot boot correct_hero_recovery.img to get access to a 'temporary' recovery environment using fastboot. Flashrec is just as good a method, but could be blocked by a future update, hence this explanation for future reference. Hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shenshang Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Could I manage it via fastboot also with my 2.73.xxx.x stock ROM? much easier way if you have a terminal emulator and your phone is already rooted. su flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pulser Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 much easier way if you have a terminal emulator and your phone is already rooted. su flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img Oh yes. Forgot about that method as well :) Obviously, if this was you trying to root the phone for the first time, it wouldn't help, but that's what a goldcard is indirectly for. As a recovery method, shenshang's method is better. Maybe we should compile a list of all these different methods of flashing. It might act as a good 'how-to' for people, in order to save time used answering the same questions over and over again (not that it happens that much just now).

Definitely - the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...amp;postcount=1 suggest that you need to boot into an existing recovery, to flash the new one. This is not the case. I followed shenshang's instructions over SSH from my PC and it was as simple as this: su flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
