Guest AsayWat Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 u can state that 100 times and it will still make no sense to me, im a new user and dont know what a terminal app is. im guessing su and cat are the commands? Yes correct they are the commands, just type them in verbatim. su = superuser cat = concatenate and the > is a redirect pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest StuMcBill Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Ok, my desire is not bricked at the mo, but I just want to get one thing clear in my head in case it ever does happen. I have already dumped my misc.imho onto my sdcard and saved flash_image there too(i know it needs to go into data), however, how would I know if I needed to chmod the file? And how would I go about doing it? Running a command in a terminal emu? Sorry, I am quite new to this. Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snarkasm Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 flash_image needs to be chmodded to allow it to execute. You can check this by examining the flags, but there's no reason not to just chmod it whenever you need it. Once it's in place in /data/flash_image, run "chmod 755 /data/flash_image" to enable it in a terminal app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could inspect the file permissions by using ls or similar but by just doing the chmod command anyway wouldn't do anything except to make sure the the file is executable.

Nobody know what is problem?? I had that. In my case it was flash_image downloaded via ftp, where the ftp client applied the ASCII transfer type instead of binary. Check the flash_image file length to see if it's the case for you too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
