Can someone please help me install this? I've tried the terminal way and the update.zip way and I still see JF 1.43 recovery utility.
You sure you did it correctly? Try again make sure you redownload the image file. It should be roughly 4000kb.

first obviously make sure you have root, do this buy going into Terminal Emulator and typing su then press enter you should see this (#) and make sure the .img file that you downloaded (Cyanogen's Recovery 1.3.1) is in the root of your SD card, this is where all your folders are like (DCIM) (make sure you don't rename the .img file) once all that is verified then go back to Terminal Emulator and type su again and when you get the (#) symbol type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.3.1.img exactly how you see it because it is case sensitive then press enter, now turn off or reboot back in to Recovery and verify that it worked.
I can't flash it :/
From what I understand, I download to my sd card
Then open terminal and type
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
When I do this I get this message.
Error writing recovery: Permission denied.
What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: Apparently I have to type su first in the terminal. Sorry, still a noob at this stuff. Thanks anyways.
the error i get every time i try every method i have found... yea i searched... it just keeps saying when i get to the flash_image recovery command
it says that command doesnt exist?
can some one help me out?
Just download rom manager from the market and use it to flash. You can do clockwork or amon ra
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
You should be entering "flash_image recovery" either using a terminal emulator on your phone OR using adb shell. Both of which you should enter the "su" command to get the substitute user (hash sign "#").
Try this:
Open up terminal emulator on your phone and type "flash_image"
Regardless of whether you get root (#) or not ($) you should get a response saying "usage: flash_image partition file.img" So it'll look something like this:
Code:
$flash_image <- this is what you enter
usage: flash_image partition file.img <-this is what gets returned to you
$
Let me know what response you get.

As the other posters have said, rom manager from the market is your easiest choice,
as far as flashing a recovery manually, put the recovery image of your choice
on your sd card, and either from the terminal emulator, or from adb shell,
you need to make sure you have the # prompt, indicating you have
superuser rights. If you just see $ you need to type su first.
Once you have the # prompt, the command would be
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
(replace recovery.img with the exact name of the recovery image you
are trying to flash). as the filenames are case sensitive, I usually rename
the recovery image to a more manageable form, (ie: I rename clockwork to
clockwork.img or amonra to amonra.img, shortening the names and ensuring
that I don't have an issue with missing a capitalized letter).
My recovery got blown-up and when I try to install another recovery, from # mount /sdcard , I get mount: can't read
/etc/fstab: No such file or directory
or from adb mount shell /sdcard , I get the same thing.. How do I format the sdcard or whatever it needs to be able to mount it from the # prompt , or adb ?
Thanks for any help..
I'm trying to get sdk manager working, can I get in to flash a recovery thru fastboot ?
have you tried using terminal emulator? also, are you s-off?
Did you change your directory??? As in cd\???
And which method did you choose to install adb??? And are you just trying to install a recovery from adb??? If so then change the directory then try mount -a then try the flash recovery commands. Good luck

what happened when you tried the terminal method? it should work. Make sure the recovery image is on your sd, in no folder at all, rename it to recovery.img. Then in TE type: su , then press enter. then type: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img , then press enter - what happens?

From the command line type
Cd\ "hit enter"
Then
cd\AndroidSDk\tools\ " hit enter"
Then mount -a if you want to mount your sd card "hit enter"
Or adb shell "hit enter"
To use adb
Or adb remount to mount your file directory/system " I think "
Or just use the commands to flash your recovery.

Are you running windows or linux on your computer??? And y not just take your card out and format threw your pc or via card reader???
Edit : don't forget to name your recovery correctly as in
recovery-RA-heroc-v.1.7.img
If your trying to flash RA
And make sure it reads on your sd/card correctly as in .img and not
img.img
So to flash RA for example would be
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v.1.7.img

If your by chance looking for an easy way to setup adb you can check out my thread in hero development section on how to install adb on windows. It takes like 15/20 min tops to have it all setup. That's if your using windows. Good luck

ok, but I still don't get why you can't boot into the ROM you're on, open the terminal emulator app, and follow the instructions, it should work.

Geez, been at this for 2 days now.. I'm at a lost..
Ok well lets start from the beginning then. When your at your command line are you typing su??? If so you don't have to. And y are you trying to push the recovery instead of flashing it????

I have an MTS CDMA HTC Hero, and I'm un able to put a custom recovery image on. I went into that HBOOT menu and at the top it says "S-ON" and I was reading that it needs to say "S-OFF" in order for me to put a custom recovery like Clockwork Mod onto it. My phone is rooted, I used z4root. I have no idea how to put the custom recovery on. And I cannot find the free version of ROM Manager in the market, and I tried the appbrain method and putting the .apk on my sd card method and nothing is working
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

Our phone does not require S-OFF to flash a custom recovery. When I get to a computer I'll upload a recovery.img for you to download. Until then download Terminal Emulator and Busybox Installer. With Busybox Installer open it and install busybox
私のEVO 3Dから送信される。
there should be aman ra or an older recovery in the wiki
Whenever I put my hero into recovery mode I also get this red exclamation mark with a phone beside it. Is that because I don't have a custom recovery installed on the phone or?
And I'm also not too sure how to install a custom recovery on the phone.
Flash recovery using: ADB
NOTE: This method will work while you are booting into the current recovery on the phone.
1.Download the ClockworkMod Recovery: HeroC
2.Copy the recovery.img to root of the SD card.
3.Boot the phone into recovery.
4.Open command prompt, cd to the Android SDK directory & type the following commands:
adb shell
mount /sdcard
flash_image recovery /sdcard/"name of recovery".img
reboot recovery
5.Your phone should now reboot into the ClockworkMod Recovery (orange text for 3.0+).
Flash recovery using: Terminal Emulator Note: Requires s-off, otherwise you'll recieve "out of memory" errors.
1.Download the ClockworkMod Recovery: HeroC Download Optimus V Download.
2.Move recovery.img to root of the SD card.
3.Open the Terminal Emulator on the phone & type the following commands:
4.:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/"name of recovery".img
reboot recovery
5.The phone should now reboot into the ClockworkMod Recovery (orange text for 3.0+).
Whenever I type in the first code I get "error: device not found" and I have my phone in recovery mode
do you have android sdk installed on your computer, if no , install it. if yes, open a command prompt and type,
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
next type:
adb devices
it should list your device
next type:
adb shell
you should get a # sign
then procede from there
or try the terminal emulator method,,,much easier. you can get "terminal emulator " from android market...good luck
whenever I change my directory to the tools folder ADB doesn't work, but when I change it to the "Platform-Tools" folder ADB works.
Sorry for being such a pain-in-the-butt, but I'm new to this whole rooting stuff.
What's the terminal emulator method?
I was trying to do this method
"Type in the following commands:
adb push recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.img /sdcard/recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.img
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
flash_image recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-heroc.img
reboot recovery"
but that doesn't seem to be working for me either, that's where I get the "Flash_Image: not found" error
