RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test Help!!! - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, question for anyone who has what I feel is a mistake and used the RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test. Since I have done this I can find no way to get back to the recovery screen to load any custom roms. Several have said that since this is a test it is still rooted but there is no indication that this is true. Any help would be appreciated. Best site should be call Romipedia.

install a recovery image on it. It IS rooted. All Rooted means is you can get access to the linux commandprompt as the all powerful root user. Without a recovery image, you can't load other ROMS.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124

I have loaded a recovery image on the sd card... When I go to power up holding the down volume and power key I get a picture of the device with a triangle and ! on the screen. I have tried everything but I can't even get into recovery mode.

You are missing a few steps. You need to flash the recovery image on your SD. However, the required command "flash_image" is missing in the 2.1 RUU leak. So....
You need to get hold of the "flash_image" executable, move it into the phone's /system/bin folder, and then flash the recovery image using the adb shell from your computer.

This worked for me:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...pair-your-bootloader-after-using-2-1-ruu.html

I get the following when I try to push the flash_image to the phone... cannot stat flash_image : no file or directory found.. I need just a little more help... any would be appreciated.

Make sure that the "flash_image" executable file is in the same directory of the "adb" executable - usually "c:\Android-sdk/tools" if you are just following the posted instructions.
You can use the Windows explorer's search function to see where you downloaded "flash_image".

2.1 ruu.exe left you without flash_image on your phone. You need to copy flash_image to /system/bin/flash_image.
I am attaching flash_image.zip (not really a zip). Copy the file I attach to your sdk root directory and use the commands below to push and rename it:
Code:
adb remount
adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image
This will allow you to follow the standard guide on flashing a recovery image.

How to install Cyanogen 1.3 recovery??

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.

How To: Get back to stock 2.1, stock recovery and S-ON for an RMA

The other day my phone's touchscreen developed a dead spot. Verizon was kind enough to send me a "Like-New" replacement and requested that I return the old phone. The only problem with that was I had hacked the hell out of it and didn't want them to see what I did and charge me.
I had rooted the phone, installed Clockwork Recovery, set S-OFF with Unrevoked Forever, updated to the latest radio and installed all kinds of different ROMs before finally settling on CM6. Now I had to find a way to install either stock 2.1 or stock 2.2 with the correct radio for either one, flash back the stock recovery, and finally set the phone back to S-ON. If you find yourself in a similar situation, you'll probably want to read this instead of spending 6 hours pulling your hair out, like I did. Here's what I finally came up with:
STEP 1: Get ADB Running.
Make sure you have ADB up and running. If you're rooted with a custom ROM and you don't have ADB running you have more problems than I can help you with. If you use a Mac, see Step 1A below to make things a little easier when using ADB.
Step 1A: (Mac Users Only) Make Your Life Easier.
Let's add the android SDK tools folder to your .bash_profile. What does this do, you ask? It makes it so that you can run any ADB commands without having to be in your SDK Tools directory. How do we do this?
Open a terminal window. Type
Code:
nano ~/.bash_profile
This will open a text editor in the terminal and create a new text file in your home directory called .bash_profile, which will be invisible in the Finder.
Enter the following:
Code:
PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Utilities/android-sdk-mac_86/tools
export PATH
!!IMPORTANT!! I have my "android-sdk-mac_86/tools" folder inside my "Utilities" folder, which is inside the "Applications" folder. If you have your android sdk folder somewhere else you will have to change the above text to reflect the proper path to your folder.
Hit ctrl-x. Not cmd-x, ctrl-x.
The editor will ask you if you want to save changes. Press "Y".
It will ask you what you want the file name to be. Just press enter, as we've already named it .bash_profile.
Quit and re-open terminal.
You can now use any command in the SDK tools folder from any directory.
STEP 2: Install Fastboot.
Make sure you have the HTC Fastboot tool installed. If you don't, you can get it here: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
Download it for your particular operating system.
Another tip for Mac users: Once you download and unzip it, rename it from "fastboot-mac" to just "fastboot", then place it in your SDK Tools directory.
STEP 3: Downgrade To 2.1 With Old Radio.
We now need to downgrade our radio and get back to stock 2.1. The best way I found to do this was explained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=757927
Download the zip and follow the instructions.
Hat tip to Berzerker7 for the write-up, and aiccucs for putting together the zip file in that thread.
The next step will be a little bit of backtracking, but it's mostly painless, and it still seems to be the easiest way to do this.
STEP 4: Set NAND To S-ON.
We now need to set the NAND to S-ON. Problem is, in step 3 we flashed the stock recovery back onto the phone. Not a huge issue.
First, go to unrevoked.com and download unrevoked3. Run it. This will re-root the phone and install Clockwork recovery. Once this is done, go here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever and download the unrevoked-forever S-ON Tool.
Copy this file to your SD card and rename it "update.zip"
You can do that with adb like this:
Code:
adb push /path/to/unrevoked-forever-son.zip /sdcard/update.zip
Reboot into recovery and use Clockwork to apply the patch, which will set the NAND back to S-ON.
STEP 5: Get The Phone To Accept Stock Recovery With S-ON
This was the biggest problem that I ran into. The phone would regurgitate every zip I found which contained a stock recovery when the phone was set S-ON. I finally found a way around that.
First, download this PB31IMG.zip file: http://d01.megashares.com/index.php?d01=CHoQD3B
This IMG file was posted by Diego Mejia, on a youtube video he uploaded. Thanks to Diego, his work was very helpful in this process.
Here's the catch: in order to apply this PB31IMG.zip, we need to downgrade HBOOT or we'll get an error, due to the fact that we had set S-ON in the previous step.
Here is a link to a post on androidforums.com with an attached zip file called "revert.zip": http://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/123816-how-revert-back-earlier-version-hboot.html
Credit is due to adrynalyne for coming up with this process and posting the files, I just tweaked his instructions a bit to make them work for me.
Once the "revert.zip" file has been downloaded, follow adrynalyne's instructions on what to do with the files. Reposted below:
Boot the phone into Clockwork Recovery.
Go to partitions, and mount data.
Type the following commands in a terminal window:
Code:
adb push flash_image /data
adb push mtd0.img /data
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/flash_image
cd /data
flash_image misc mtd0.img
exit
adb reboot oem-78
Watch for your phone to reboot to a silver HTC logo.
Then type:
Code:
fastboot devices
Verify your device shows up/responds/etc.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If the "fastboot" command works you should see an "H" followed by a string of random numbers and letters. So far, so good.
STEP 6: Reapply Stock 2.1 With Stock Recovery.
Once you've run the "fastboot" command successfully, go ahead and pull the battery. Leave the phone off. Go back to the PB31IMG.zip you downloaded in step 5, and copy it to the root of your SD card. Put the SD card back in the phone and boot it into recovery. If you've done all this correctly, the phone should recognize the PB31IMG.zip as valid and ask if you want to apply it. Do so. This will reflash the stock 2.1 ROM with the stock recovery while the phone is set S-ON. You can now send your phone back to Verizon.
STEP 7: Profit.
--B
Hey Mods, any chance of a sticky?
--B
There's a much easier/faster way to do this:
Just S-ON before you downgrade a first time, and then flash_image misc right away. The PB31IMG will take and you'll be at 2.1 with a single RUU flash.

Interesting. I couldn't get RUU to jive for some reason and didn't happen upon the bit about the flash_image until I'd already gone around in circles for several hours. Cool if the shortcut works, though! Where was your info at one o'clock this afternoon when I needed it?

I found it easier, to just since your rooted already, just put it to S-on, then run the stock RUU for 2.2. and your done in two steps. no need for all the codes.... I just did it, got my refurb yesterday,...
Thanks for the informative post! This will help a lot of people in the future.

How to restore your DS7

This may void your warranty, cost you your soul, and cause your spouse to leave you - ALL OF WHICH I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR!
So, if it's because you screwed up flashing something, bricked your tablet with an OTA update after you installed CWM, or whatever, this is how you get it back to its outta-da-box shape!
(Please note, this assumes you have both installed CWM on your DS7 AND have installed the latest SDK on your computer).
1. Download the three attached .img files
2. Boot into CWM (since there really isn't anything else you can do)
3. In CWM, mount your SD card (so that you can view files via USB)
4. Plug in your DS7 to your computer, and copy the three .img files to the root of your SD card
5. Unmount your SD card, but leave the USB cable plugged into computer
6. Mount as many things as you can (ie system, boot, etc)
7. Open up command prompt, and navigate to your Android/tools folder, and type "adb devices"
8. There should be a number that shows up, or a "?" - either at this point is fine
9. Type the following command:
Code:
adb shell
a hash tag should show up that looks like this:
Code:
#~
10. Now, type the follow two commands one at a time:
Code:
flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img
flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard/recovery_orig.img
11. now, select "reboot" from DWM to reboot your device. It should boot and say something like "Formating Misc", and then it will reboot repeatedly
12. Use something small to push the RESET button on the DS7 (it's next to the SD card slot)
Your screen should go blank
13. Now, press and hold both the POWER button and the VOLUME - button until the screen comes on saying that the "fastboot downloader" is booted
14. Copy the three .img files into the your Android/tools folder
15. Now type the following code:
Code:
fastboot devices
16. There should be a number that shows up, or a "?" - either at this point is fine once again
17. Now type the following commands one at a time. The first will take a while to complete - this is okay:
Code:
fastboot flash system system_orig.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery_orig.img
fastboot flash boot boot_orig.img
Now, if after every command a "finished." is given, along with the total time each command took, you may continue.
18. You may now type the triumphant command:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Which will reboot your device.
Give it a little bit to boot, but when all is done you should see the original T-Mobile boot animation and everything.
Special thanks to DJ_Steve, bogdi1988, and [email protected] for all your help!
Needed files:
system_orig.img
recovery_orig.img
boot_orig.img
[Edit]
For those users who need the original "flash_image.zip" file, I have uploaded it and it is available here.
PS: As an added note: **** you Koush! From all of the DS7 community!
Just what was needed
sent from somewhere
thanks but if you would of search there was a thread made already but i am sure the more the marrier

No its not his fault.. people shouldn't have tried to install the ota update while having cwr installed.. instead should have waited for a zip of the update that hell posted on behalf of did steve. As I have said if you have cwr you really can't get ota updates and install them the normal way. If the update was an update.zip you could flash through cwr but dell uses pgk files not zip.. so the only way to update is to wait for a dev to release a flashable cwr zip fike

Hi,
I am the situation described above as I tried the OTA and am now stuck in CWR.
I followed the directions putting the 3 files on the root of my DS7 and am stuck at the following:
~ # flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img
flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img
failed with error: -1
~ #
Any ideas.....?
Thanks
SkI
Error 1
Error 1 means that the file is not where it is supposed to be. In this case on the SD card. Check and make sure that you have the right file, with the right file name on the root of your SD card and try again!
Good Luck

I find that at step 3... I mount sdcard... it shows on PC... I copy the 3 files to drive... unmount sdcard... mount everything else... run the other commands then get error... when I repeat the process I notice the files I copied are not there... ?
so I tried to adb push the files... they say they went thru correctly... but still get the same result as above...

when you adp push to sdcard, make sure you mounted it already.
after that , it always help to adb shell ls /sdcard to make sure all files are there.
then you go to adb shell,
use the stock flash_image to flash. remember point to the path to flash_image
eg. flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img
my understanding, if you don't mount sdcard, you canot see your sdcard FROM the tablet's perspective.
I mean, for table's flash_image to work, it has to be able to access its drive, in this case, is sdcard 's content.
so did you try leave sdcard mount and do the command above?
Hey Team...
can someone help me find the stock flash_image plz.....

[Q] Can't install any custom recovery Vodafone Nexus One

Hello,
i'm following this forum a long time, now. But at the moment I have a problem rooting my Vodafone Nexus One I can't solve.
It has 2.2.1 (FRG83D) on it. I unlocked the bootloader using fastboot. Now it shows the open lock when booting.
When I try to install a custom recovery using adb or terminal emulator, all looks good. But when i restart and go into recovery menu, always that damn standard menu appears (after putting power on & volume up).
Now I read, that I have to delete the install-recovery.sh in systems/etc and another file, I don't remember right now. I always get an error, when I try to delete or rename them. I tried it using adb, terminal and root explorer.
Does anyone have a clue how I can get rid of them?
Thanks!
Marco
Use fastboot, since you've already gone to the trouble of unlocking your bootloader...
fastboot flash recovery name-of-recovery.img
fastboot boot name-of-recovery.img
You have to remount the system partition as writable.
You only have to delete the install-recovery.sh file. The other one can be left alone.
hey guys, thanks...
i just did it using the following program and steps:
* - Download Superboot and extract it to a directory on your computer
* - Put your device into bootloader mode. You can either use ADB or turn the phone on whilst holding the trackball to enter the bootloader.
* - If on Windows double click ‘install-superboot-windows.bat’
* - If on a Mac, cd into the directory containing the files and type ‘chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh && ./install-superboot-mac.sh’
* - If on Linux, cd into the directory containing the files and type ‘chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh && ./install-superboot-linux.sh’
after that i had to remount it as R/W partition.

[Q] Cant flash ClockworkMod Recovery (cannot open for read: No such file or directory

When i type the dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096 to flash over the clockworkmod, into my command promt it says 'cannot open for read: No such file or directory' and i dont know what im doing wrong.
I mean everything else seemed to workout fine. i downloaded the recovery image it said to save it but it was already saved to my computer after i downloaded it so i dont know if this could be the problem.
Then i used the adb push recovery.img/data command to push the recovery image to my phone, i think this might be where i messed up. After i put in the command a long list of text pops up on the command prompt. It starts out showing 'Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26' then is followed by a long list of adb commands. Idk know if this is what its supposed to show.
Next i did the adb shell, su, dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096 command and that worked fine it said 2560+0 records out, 2560+0 records in 10485760 bites transfered in 0.413 secs and i actually found that file on my sdcard. So i think i did that right.
Next i tried to use the command 'dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096' and like i said earlier it just says 'cannot open for read: No such file or directory'
Lastly i tried the rm /data/recovery.img command and it said rm failed for /data/recovery.img, No such file or directory in the command prompt.
Im sorry i am new at this but i thought i followed the directions perfectly and any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.
First off, before someone else says it, you shouldn't start a new thread for something we already have a topic for. But anyways,
Sounds to me like recovery.img never got pushed to /data. Not sure if its a typo in your post but 'adb push recover.img/data' should be 'adb push recovery.img /data'. The space is important. On your phone use a root file explorer and go to your /data partition and see if recovery.img is there. You may need to either change permissions for /data or just put recovery.img on your sdcard and move it to /data with a root explorer.

Well im sorry im new to this kind of thing, i didnt want to make anyone mad i just wanted some help and i apologize if ive ticked somone off. How would i change the permissions for the data? And could you tell me how to use the root explorer to put the recovery image in the right place? Again i appreciate any help you can offer.
Is recover.img in the same folder as adb? Because the instructions assume your recovery.img is in the same folder you are working from. So if you have to cd to your adb folder to use adb then recovery.img should be in that folder as well. Look at your cmd window, whatever directory/ folder it says you are in that is where you should put recovery.img.
If you saw a bunch of commands it means the .img did not go through your command did not work. You dont have the recovery.img in /data either put the file on your sdcard and use a root explorer to move it to /data or try the adb push again, you most likely made a typo or something.
You would put recovery.img on your sdcard through your computer. Open root explorer and navigate to your sdcard, long press on the recovery.img select move, go to/ data on the root of the phone, not the one on either sdcard it MUST be /data not /mnt/sdcard/data or anything like that once there paste file to /data and finish up in adb shell.
Alright i copied the recovery image to the /data folder and finished up in command prompt and everything worked out like it was supposed to. what was i supposed to do next to put it into cwm recovery mode? I held power, volume down, 3d button but i just went into normal recovery mode. then i went to rom manager to try and put it into cwm recovery that way but it just rebooted my phone. And when i went back into the /data folder i couldnt find the recovery image there anymore and i did a search on my root explorer and couldnt find it anywhere.
Hold vol down + 3D + power when lg logo appears release power but keep vol down +3D held down until recovery pops up. If you still don't boot into cwm try flashing recovery.img again. Do NOT use rom manager at all to install cwm on this phone.
Well ive tried to take the recovery image from the sd card to the /data folder but when i run 'rm /data/recovery.img' on the command prompt then reboot my phone, i turn it off then try and put it in recovery mode but its just regular recovery mode not cwm recovery mode. And everytime i run the 'rm /data/recovery.img' when my phone boots back up the recovery image is no longer in the /data folder or anywhere. But if i dont run the 'rm /data/recovery.img' after moving the recovery image to the /data folder it stays in the folder. Is it supposed to dissapear from the /data folder?
And i tried putting the recovery image in the same folder as abd which is the platform tools folder then flash it over and i got the same message. (cannot open for read: No such file or directory.)
Im sorry for all the questions and I am thankful for your help. I feel like i cant be the only person having this problem, well i hope im not that would make me feel really stupid. Thanks.

rm is the command to remove. So yes, recovery.img is supposed to disappear after that command. Put it back on /data and run the whole process from the CWM thread again making sure you do every step. Sounds like you may have accidentally skipped a step.

Alright ill try that again, so i should put the file back on the /data folder and then still do the step where you try to flash over cwm from the cwm thread, even though its already there? Thanks
