Guest Mike Beecham Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Ok, I was trying to change from Cyanogen Recovery to the Amon-Ra Recovery image, as per a tutorial in the Unlockr.com. However, I think something went wrong, and now I cant access the recovery image at all. If I Home+Power then I get the immediate Hero icon, but then nothing whatsoever...it locks up. If I just hit power then I can get into my phone as per normal. Can anyone help me to get this resolved. Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Does that method use a terminal emulator? If so, did you get an error? Have you tried reflashing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Beecham Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hi there... Yes it was, but the only terminal type-deal I could find was something called command executor. I used that, hit execute and it happened very quick. I then powered down the phone and tried it again, but no deal. I've not tried flashing it again...a little nervous. I cant find another terminal app with a virtual keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Better Terminal Emulator is what I used to apply my recovery image, IIRC it's what they use on TheUnlockr's videos. As to whether that'll be any better, I don't know but it installed without issue for me. Probably worth paying out for, it won't break the bank!

Tap the screen. right, went and got this...it's a great app! I have the Amon-Ra recovery image on my sdcard, but when I typed the following: su flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v.1.5.2.img I just get the error message "error opening....." Still not happening :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Redownload the recovery from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124 and use MD5sum to make sure the file's ok. I can't remember how it works 100% and I'm not at my computer right now but basically download MD5sum and run it on the .img that you download and make sure that the output matches what's listed next to the download link in the XDA thread. Then if it's all good try flashing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks SO much mate, I owe you a pint. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for an 'idiot's guide' at the moment, and then I can learn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fantasytozi Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Me too, never know about linux, android, adb, etc before and maybe untill this time too. Just connect ur Hero to ur PC. Run cmd and type these command via AndroidSDK, download from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
