Just taken from xda-developers.com...full credits to the creator AMON_RA!

THIS IS ONLY FOR GSM HERO...DO NOT INSTALL ON SPRINT HERO!

Change-log v1.6.2:

- Added power off menu item

- New unyaffs binary patched by Koushik Dutta and Packetlss to fix the "losing root"-issue and incorrect file-time after a Nandroid restore

- New dump_image binary (by Brainaid) patched by Packetlss to fix the "bad blocks"- Nandroid restore issue.

(This will not fix old corrupted Nandroid backups! Please make new backups!!)

- New mkyaffs2image binary

- New flash_image binary

- Updated busybox to v1.5.3

- Nandroid menu options will NOT backup or restore recovery, cache, misc, splash1+2 (to avoid issues)

- Fixed wipe option not wiping when ext was not present

- Created carebear versions after the idea of packetlss

- Switched the Nexus logo to a Green Carebear with Nexus One logo (Thanks Montalbert!)

Via terminal.

I do have problems mounting SD in the recovery console. There is the option to fash it via bootloader

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery *filename of recovery in the pc directory cmd is running in*

Erase is important in my case because without erase I was getting some error as well.

I can't update it. I've tried from both adb shell and terminal.

flash_image recover /sdcard/recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.1.img

error says

flash_image: not found

Same error I get if I type in just

blah

I get

blah: not found

Am I actually missing flash_image from my system?

Just give this command when you have the recovery image in the directory you have changed too.

'adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img'

'adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img'

Note :- If you have the recovery image in your sdcard, then you don't need to give the first command.

For those installing the coloured versions make sure you change your adb commands to suit the file name.

Kareem613, are you attempting a coloured version? if so it will be:

adb shell

mount -a

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2-blue.img

note the word BLUE at the end!

First of all, thanks for your work !!

I was unable to flash. So, I've downgraded the ROM using HTC Official Rom

Upgraded the recovery by using Flashrec (v1.1.3)

- copy flashrec and recovery on your sdcard

- install flashrec (using any explorer program)

- start flashrec and point to the recovery file (for example /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2-blue.img)

Then start recovery (Home+power), wipe data and re-flash new 2.1ROM (HeroDroid which is a good 2.1 ROM for daily use)

I get the same error. flash_image: not found

It looks like the command flash_image itself is missing.

Where would that be on the filesystem so I can check? I dug in sys/bin. Its not there.

Have you tried the fastboot method ?

Have you tried the fastboot method ?

Ya. Same error.

I just realized what it might be. Do I have to be booted into the current recovery console to do this?

I've been trying it with the phone booted up normally.

Yes. Boot into recovery mode and issue the "adb shell flash_image" command.

Yes. Boot into recovery mode and issue the "adb shell flash_image" command.

I use the 'flash_image' command everytime I have to flash the recovery image and my phone is booted normally but you can give it a try by going into the recovery console.

For those asking for a step by step:

To flash recovery

Make sure that CMD is in the directory of the image you wish to flash. For example if you placed the recovery image in the root of the android sdk folder named 'androidsdk' in the root of the C: drive, you would enter:

cd c:\androidsdk

This example is using recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img but you can substitute this name with whatever image name you wish

adb shell reboot bootloader

fastboot boot recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img

adb shell mount /sdcard

adb push recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img

adb shell reboot

If you want to confirm that the flash was successful then enter

adb shell reboot recovery
instead of
adb shell reboot
in the last step.

...or you can do it from your phone using one of the many terminal emulator apps in the Android Market:

- Download the image to the SD Card (/sdcard/recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img)

- Open up the terminal application

- Type "su" at the prompt

- Type "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery_RA_hero_v1.6.2.img" at the prompt

- Just wait a little bit...

- Done! (turn off the phone then turn it on again holding down power + home to test it)

..i use better terminal emulator pro but it's a paid app!

LOL! I just remembered something. I was unable to do the flash_image from a normal boot so I did it from recovery mode. Now that I think about it, the flash_image could not find the img file on the sd card. I'll bet you anything I had my SD card mounted to my PC.

D'oh!

LOL!

Did the above to update recovery image but appears its now screwed up the recovery.....i can not boot into any recovery now, however the phone will boot into MODACO rom so at least the phone will work. Will i now have to down grade again or can i repair the recovery mode??
