Guest Paul Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 ...you will have noticed you can't 'fastboot boot' the recovery image again for rooting or using the new recovery image. All is not lost though! You can use flashrec to flash the patched recovery, from where you can do all the usual stuff (and even put the old hboot back on if you want!) Handy! Thanks Magnus for the heads up... P
Guest rappetor Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) This is the tool that uses the exploit right? Won't there be a problem once they actually fix that? Guess I'll be better sticking with your custom roms then :) Edited September 4, 2009 by rappetor

Guest kookix Posted September 7, 2009 Report Posted September 7, 2009 I've tried many times, but I don't know how it works. I tested both option: *Flash Cyanogen Recovery 1.4 *Restore Backup Recovery Image -How to use the box where I can type text ? Still have the message: "fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)" Please Help.
Guest chuti98 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Posted September 8, 2009 type in the box sd/cm-hero-recovery.img

Guest markzladz Posted September 16, 2009 Report Posted September 16, 2009 Hi, I know this is probably blaringly obvious and has been addressed before but I only just heard of flashing like today. I want to put "update-hero-generic-2.73.405.5-rooted-signed.zip" on my htc her orange UK phone. Do i need to rename the file to update.zip? Also all these files, are they basically just images for the phone? Thanks

Also all these files, are they basically just images for the phone? Thanks I'm new to the flashing on hero aswell, but I just successfully upgraded mine a few hours ago with the enhanced version of the firmware (it was already updated to the stock 2.73.405.5..). The filename doesn't matter since you can choose either update.zip, og any zip on the sdcard. Just leave the name as is, the recovery menu can handle both. The path for installing the recovery firmware in fastrec is "/sdcard/cm-hero-recovery.img", not "sd/cm-hero-recovery.img". I used linux and the latest precompiled 32bit sdk, on a 64bit ubuntu. (Those files are images for the phone, I went with the enhanced version which works great also. The recovery menu will handle all installation, however I made a backup before applying the new firmware. Just use the "backup ..." in the menu.) Edited September 16, 2009 by screemo

I can't believe how painless the process is! its wicked. I did it at work coz I was a bit bored. The new ROM worked really well. I didn't try the radio version though. Wot exactly does that do? There was an earlier post saying that it frakked up their phone but apparently its coz it was the magic as opposed to the hero. Cheers for everything tho!

Guest Lox- Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 can you still reach the recovery mode with home + power button when you are turning on your phone ? You can reflash old SPL using recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment...mp;d=1252087432

Guest dk1982 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Posted October 7, 2009 Dear Paul, I updated my T-Mobile G2 Touch with the RUU that was posted up on the T-Mobile UK Website yesterday evening... I did a nandroid back up thinking that if I didn't like the ROM I would revert to your MODACO 2.2 version. Having noticed that the phone got completed wiped by the new ROM. I did steps to RE-ROOT the phone using flash rec + Cyanogen 1.4 .... The "Flash recover image" remianed greyed out... I have been looking everywhere for some step by step instructions on how to RE-Root the phone and get the custom Roms MD 2.2 back on but with no luck.... Is there a way to do this.... ? Some help from the Forum members and "savvys" would be much appreciated. Many thanks for all your help and advice everyone. Darren

Guest Remington Steale Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Basically we are screwed until someone way cleverer than us comes up with another kernel exploit.
Guest dredwerker Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 Basically we are screwed until someone way cleverer than us comes up with another kernel exploit. They could do it a bit quicker - who doesnt want to spend all their spare time fixing my probs :)
Guest dredwerker Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 any fix for this yet? Obviously not :) Has anyone got any idea, if this is a bit of time and they know how to fix it(if they put the effort in) or is it a complete baffler and might never be fixed.

I hope he'll release it soon. This is the way to fix the prob using a goldcard image. Just read the instructions carefully :) Thanks to the software providers and people who had input to the fix. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683
