Unable to copy file to /system/bin or load .img file

[Guest checkerman]

I have a rooted desire running froyo modaco r5 and I am trying to copy the flash_image file to the /system/bin directory. I currently have clockwork 2.5.0.7 I have searched all over the net and I just cant seem to manage it. Ultimately im trying to write a custom recovery .img file to the desire. I tried using unrevoked to do this but it doesnt work, and also flashboot. Below is what i have tried.

Connect phone in charge only mode.

open command prompt

cd android\tools

adb root

adbd root is already running as root

adb remount

adb remount successful

adb push flash_image/system/bin

failed to copy "flash_image" to "/system/bin" : out of memory

then i tried adb shell

mount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

exit

adb push flash_image /system/bin

9000kb/s (0 bytes in 205851.0s) (ignore the kb size as im away from the pc i tried it on so just put something in there!)

I then run terminal emulator on the phone, run su, cd /system/bin and the file is not there. I seem to be going round in circles at the moment. As i just cannot seem to load an img file no matter which way i try.

Also with fastboot is it necessary to erase before writing? If i try and write the image file with fastboot I get a remote signature verify failed.

Thanks

Think you'll need to use AlphaRev to set S-OFF

Thanks was downloading and trying after the post, and managed to get it working. Although it seemed to break my recovery, though luckily somehow with some perseverance I have managed to fix that too.

Thanks again
