i am rooted using 1.5 running cm6 and the cfs kernal but when i wipe i get a message "wipe not sucessfull use adb" i read some where on xda that root 1.7 fixes this issue. How do i root to 1.7? Thanks alot.
You need to update your recovery. Go HERE and download this recovery image onto your sdcard.
Once it is on your sdcard open up terminal emulator on your phone and enter:
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-darchdroid.img
After that just reboot into recovery and with your newer recovery version wiping should work
Thank You it worked great

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
so back when i had 1.5 on my hero i had no problem at all installing roms. so when i updated to 2.1 stock awhile back i tried to root it and install a rom on it with the command prompt and unevoked method. it got it rooted and when i got to the recovery menu i nanidroid backedup and wiped and installed it. it then got stuck on the htc boot screen so i tried different rom and still would hang on it. so i said screw it and stayed on stock. i then later used the unlock univeral to root it but i can not stand the stock rom it is so slow and lags so i tried the offiical htc update from .6 to .7 to see if it would be faster but once it downloaded and i pressed install it would yet again hang on the htc screen. i cant even make calls with out lagging. so i tried once more to install 2.2 on it with a recovery img. i download rom manger and put froyo on the sd card but it would yet again hang when i click install rom from sd card. what do i do?!!!!!
update: i tried doing it through the teminal but it say flash_recovery not found
so i tried to do it through rom manger and it did the back up and installed it through the recovery menu but once it was done and rebooted it yet again is stuck on the htc boot screen.
help please!
It might b the recovery ur using if your able to boot into any rom access terminal you can get it from the market try to flash a different recovery I recommend. Darchstar RA 1.6 once u download it place it on the root of ur SD card not in any folders / then open up terminal and type su once the # appears type flash_image recovery /sdcard/ recovery- name of recovery. img wen that's done type reboot recovery and you should boot into recovery then try and flash ur rom from there hope this helps good luck

I recommend you boot into recovery - wipe your system / cache / dalvik cache and then flash the 2.2 rom of your choice -
if you were just flashing rom after rom without flashing then that could be a lot of your troubles -
also - you mentioned that the recovery file was not found on your sdcard - did you remember to unzip it first before attempting to flash it through terminal emulator? because it wont work otherwise ...
if you have extracted it to the root of your sdcard you shouldnt have any trouble
type
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/nameofyourrecovery.img
reboot recovery
and you should be good to go - let me know how you do and we'll see if we can't help you further if needed
good luck!

you said that you are doing this in a terminal window? (i am assuming that is on the phone) is your phone connected via usb to your computer? is the sdcard mounted by the computer? if it is unplug the usb and try again. if the computer has mounted the sdcard you can't access it from the phone.
i dont have it plugged in when i use the terminal on the phone

ok just checking.... that was the only thing that i could think of that would stop you from reading the sdcard.
It may sound silly, bt when I do it I always make sure I account for case sensitivity...
Like flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-Darchstar.img
Have you tried that?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
yep make sure everything that has a capitals in it i capitalized in the terminal
this may sound silly as well.. sometimes when i use adb to push i mistype the location for example: adb push myfile.ext /adcard
everything goes fine until i go to find the file....
don't know though.
i still can't figure out how to install a custom rom.
Try backing up you sd and reformatting it on ur pc then just place the recovery img on your sd and nothing else then try to flash it good luck feel free to pm me I know how u feel man so if I can help I will good luck

I'm running CM6 stable.
How would I go about upgrading to the new version of the recovery image? Is this pretty much it or is there something within the current recovery I can just click?
Amon_RA said:
via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys)
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img

This is pretty much it It's the standard way to change recoveries, not another was as far as I know of.
Impaler to the rescue again
I've actually never accessed adb before. What do I have to do before typing "adb shell"? Is there something I have to do so that the cmd prompt recognizes or loads my phone?
You have the option to flash 1.6.2 via rom manager - im using clockwork mod - and decided, after trying darch's recovery that clockwork offers more - including being able to explore the entire sdcard -
is there anything special about 1.6.2 that would make it worth trying out as opposed to clockwork recovery ?

I think some prefer clockword mod but not sure what the differences are. I just want to upgrade to 1.6.2 because it got rid of the some of the bugs.

This is the easiest way in my opinion:
Download the RA image you want to flash
Put it on the base of your sd card
Open up terminal emulator on your phone
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img
reboot recovery
You should see your new RA image Let me know how it goes!
Thank you sir
I have Root permission in my ROM (Using a DocRambone FroYo ROM). But when I reboot in Recovery mode (blue chars, I think normal recovery from Samsung), and start ADB Shell, the prompt is $ and I have no root permission (everything is denied).
If I reboot in Clockwork Recovery 2.5.1.2 (using ROM Manager), the one with green chars, the Galaxy is isolated and if I try ADB Shell, the result is Device not found...
Before Galaxy I had a Desire... with it, when rooted, I had root permission in Recovery and in normal boot.
How To have root permission available in Recovery too on Galaxy?
I need to do some operation via ADB shell. Or there is a way to flash Clockwork Recovery in the place of the normal Recovery (as I had in my Rooted Desire)?
Thanx

run adb root in recovery from this kernel
PS: I presume its a froyo ROM though.. dont know if there are any kernels supporting this in eclair.

if using ULTK (afaik doc's rom use that), you can type "adb root" on your PC, and the next time you say "adb shell" you'll get root.

I tried but without success. If I enter in Recovery (standard one, with blue chars), and I type adb root, the answer is something like "adbd cannot have root privileges in production builds". If I try same command in Clockwork Recovery (started by ROM Manager, reboot in Recovery, the one with green chars), the result is "Device not found".
Ciao!
I think that the right way is to replace original recovery with Clockwork recovery... but how to?
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

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
