Ok so I've tried searching for this and couldn't find what I needed. I have Amon Ra's recovery image and I'm trying to change to cyanogen's 1.4 recovery. I tried install it thru the terminal emulator but when I pull up the recovery screen it's still Amon Ra's, so any help would be appreciated.
What commands/steps did you use?
/You shoud post this in Dream Q&A.

So I downloaded recovery image 1.4 to my sdcard, then I opened terminal emulator and typed in flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img and I get a message that says
-d delete the image file after a successful flash
thats where I'm stuck at

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.
Su
Flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.3.1.img

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.
So I download the image by right click save as and then the name it has. Then after I put in the SD Card to my G1 then I go to the terminal emulator. I type in su (wait for a screen to popup and press "allow")
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.3.1.img. It then says Flash_Image not found.... What do I do? And do I have to Partition my SD Card first?
ok now it says error reading...
What is it you're trying to do? Flash the recovery image? Or flash a ROM?
Do step 5 HERE
That is cm recovery 1.4
Have you tried the 6-minute version? It has worked for me on 2-different phones.

I am rooting a G1 for a friend right now. He has had the G1 for over a year but never applied a single update. It was still running RC29 when I got the phone in my hands.
I have since gained root and am running 1.6 on it right now. I am attempting to flash CM recovery, but I'm getting an error in the flashrec app...when I click "backup recovery image" it says "backup FAILED: could not run command". If I just click "download recovery image" it downloads fine, says "downloaded & verified" but the "flash recovery image" button is greyed out.
I suspect this is something to do with SU access, but I am stumped as I have never had this issue before.
dont use flashrec then. manually download a recovery image, put it on the sd card after renaming it to recovery.img, then open terminal and type in flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

I did this too...flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
It said flash_image: not found
but the img file is right there on the sdcard.

Sounds like you need to verify that you have root.
If you are having trouble with Cyanogn's recovery image try using Amon_Ra's image it is far more superior anyway. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566669 Hope that works for you.
I'm trying to install Amon RA's custom recovery but the damn Terminal Emulator says there no file in the SD card.. What do i do? Some one help me..
I remember rooting the phone perfectly fine.. im just wondering why this wont work? Do i need to install a lower version first? I'm confused..
What rom are you using?
Install
There are several ways to install a custom recovery, choose the one that suits you most (I probably forgot a few).
via a simple reboot -> Requires Cyanogen's ROM (other ROMs will probably work too, check init.rc where to put the recovery.img)
Code:
Rename recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img to recovery.img
Copy recovery.img to /data
Reboot fully (the recovery will be flashed automatically)
Reboot to recovery
somehow i screwed up my recovery. i'm running ads-magpie with no problems. I need to get my recovery working again. either amon-ra or clockwork. in adb shell i type: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img It says /system/bin/sh: flash_image: not found
please help
if you are able to boot into the phone then go into your terminal app and then type:
su
mount /sdcard
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img
and you're good to go...
still doesn't work?
then flash the recovery using a fastboot zip

Can you get into fastboot (hold down the camera button when you restart)? If so, then flash recovery image from there.
Open command prompt in directory where you have recovery image stored. Command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img
yes but hopefully he has fastboot set up. if not then i'm sure we can walk you through or forward you to a tut on how to do so
I got it working, truth be told I don't how. I tried a command string that previously didn't work. It responded out if memory, twice. For kicks I tried boot into recovery and low and behold clockworkmod. thanks guys.
no problem anytime
