Guest Xtiro Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with flashrec. I've already got MCR 3.1 running and everything, but noticed I wasn't running the latest version of the recovery image (I'm on 1.2.3). I tried to just put the new one on with flashrec but am getting the 'Backup failed: could not run command' error, just like I was on the patched t-moible ROM for my G2. I've already been through the process of goldcarding so I could use flashrec, and I assumed it would work fine with MCR. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needed to use fastboot from command prompt instead. First put the new recovery image to the sdcard then run the following from command prompt, replace recovery.img with what every your recovery image is called. fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery.img Worked fine for me with the latest ra-1.5.2 recovery image.

Haven't had much luck with comamand prompt with the phone, so I just did a nandroid restore of my pre-mcr ROM :) Thanks for the suggestion anyway though Edited January 19, 2010 by Xtiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hp1 Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) I had the same problem. Needed to use fastboot from command prompt instead. First put the new recovery image to the sdcard then run the following from command prompt, replace recovery.img with what every your recovery image is called. fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery.img Worked fine for me with the latest ra-1.5.2 recovery image. I'm trying to install latest Amon_RA... couple of questions: 1. from the c:/sdk/tools command prompt what exactly do I type, do I need adb shell etc first? 2. What state should the phone be in before i start with the command line stuf? Off, On, Home screen, recovery image? I tried this: Copy recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img to the root of your sdcard Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME) Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/... adb shell $su (not required if you have root already) #mount -a #flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img as posted on XDA, I got an error after I did the #mount -a bit and it killed my SDcard. Moral of the story use a different SDcard from the one that has all your data and nandroid backups on it :) Edited January 28, 2010 by hp1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help to update the versione of your recovery you need sdk driver installed and the new recovery in the sdcard. The comands are here ...it's in italian but you need only to understaind the comands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The comands are here ...it's in italian but you need only to understaind the comands pardon the ignorance but is the SDK driver something other than the SDK itself? Ok figured out how to install the USB driver: when I type mount -a at the # prompt i get mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on system/sd failed: No Such File or Directory Edited January 28, 2010 by hp1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lemmingzappa Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Thanks, that DID work for me even though I got an error mid-flash. 'out of memory' listed itself in the shell a few times so I thought it had failed. But when booting into the recovery it's showing the latest version.
