[Guest magmag83]

As previously mentioned in this thread you need to have USB debugging enabled;

jemanden in einer Sprache zu beleidigen (naja, beleidigen an sich auch), die er nicht versteht, hilft dir sicher nicht bei deinem Problem!

[Guest magmag83]

yeha, i've done it - bought a t-mobile UK simcard, turned on the usb-development and now it runs :-)

thanks a lot

@HugoEgon: helfen nicht, aber lustig ist es allemal ;-)

Hi all,

Trying to install this on a UK Orange model Hero, and when I enter the second command I repeatedly get the message:

ERROR: Unable to create a plug-in (e00002c7)

... until I cancel the command. This is on a Mac if that matters.

Can anyone assist?

Thanks,

Tom

Hi all :)

Ok,,  im a bit of a complete newcomer to modding and customizing phones and the like...  and through some miracle i managed to get The patched Hero recovery image from Cyanogen installed permanently on my Hero (G2 Touch)

Just 1 quick question..  does this mean my phone is now rooted? or is that a completely different thing altogether?.... 

Now if i could only pluck up the courage to install the custom rom.. lol..    Which was my other question actualy..   does the phone need to be rooted before i can install Modaco`s rom?

Many thanks in advance,,,  please be gentle.. its a whole new world for me :)

After it reboots into bootloader run the cmds from top of first page make sure your recovery img is on your sd card though. Or use flashrec a program that puts the recovery image onto the device without using cmd prompt

[Guest Irishman2k6]

Hey all. So I've got the new Hero for Sprint, and I'm trying to load up one of the recovery images in the hopes I can get a backup for someone to start cooking with. I got to the bootloader, but I get the following error from the console:

bash-3.2$ ./adb shell reboot bootloader

bash-3.2$ ./fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img

downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)

Any thoughts?

Sounds like you can't load the recovery img yet just like the new t-mobile Rom over here in the u.k.

[Guest lennondhino]

i cant seem to get he command prompt to work properly, when i enter the first line of code it comes up saying error device not found

[Guest Bogor]

The patched Hero recovery image from Cyanogen is super-useful, but having to boot it up via fastboot all the time is a pain... so why not install it on your device permanently? :D

To do so...

- 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 (prefix each command with ./ if you're on a mac)

adb shell reboot bootloader (wait for device to reboot into bootloader)

fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img

adb shell mount /sdcard

adb push cm-hero-recovery.img /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img

Job done!

Now if you pull the battery and turn on the device while holding down 'home', you should get the patched recovery image. Handy! :P

Ok I am a complete noob when it comes to this and I am trying to follow the instructions. Obviously I am doing something wrong.

I am using Vista 32bit

I have downloaded the file and extracted it.

I connect my Hero to my pc and run adb shell reboot bootloader

However I was getting "error: device not found"

So I decided to try activiating the HTC Sync.

This seemed to work and it would reboot into the bootloader.

However after that I could not send anymore commands as it would lose the connection and say "error: device not found"

What am I doing wrong?

E:\Android\Modoco\patched recovery\Hero>adb shell reboot bootloader

E:\Android\Modoco\patched recovery\Hero>fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img

downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)

E:\Android\Modoco\patched recovery\Hero>adb shell mount /sdcard

error: device not found

Thanks for you help.

Updated with CDMA root instructions - needs testing!

[Guest jygsaw]

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?

[Guest Paul]

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

P

[Guest j_l_]

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.

[Guest milko9000]

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.

[Guest Marcony0]

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 :)
