Run - "flash_image recovery <recovery file name>" from adb or terminal window. Make sure the recovery image is in the SD Card root. Reboot...

The better question is why?
Have you tried flashing it via adb shell or terminal emulator? (assuming it comes as a standard .img file)
adb shell:
Code:
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/NameOfRecoveryHere.img
terminal emulator:
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/NameOfRecoveryHere.img
fixed it!!

if you have care bears on your recovery you're running the olddddd version. You should update your RA to darch's unofficial (<- get this one ) or the godspeed recoveries.
You can download either one from HERE

boot your phone into recovery first, then type in the adb commands
Show me the command you typed.

Download the fresh kitchen and use it...
I originally rooted with the command line but corrupted my recovery image upgrading to RA1.6.2 via adb.
The fresh kitchen was the only way out of 4 i tried that was able write a new recovery image.
I am using Fresh 2.0d
Booted into RA
Hit the MS/DOS usb command
then did the commands straight from the amon_RA recovery single post thread, i.e.:
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
make sure you dont have any spelling errors...
flash_image recovery /sdcard/whatever_your_image_name_is.img

I thought kitchen (even newest version) wouldn't work with Fresh 2.0d because it is based on 2.1 sprint.
Bump for some help.

Try and download the pre-kitchen here
It still works for non-sprint phones.
I have a Sprint Hero thus the reason for posting on this particular forum.
i have two recovery images on my sdcard, and neither of them are flashing, i rooted using z4root. that was the only method i could find to root my phone after the weeklong search. ive recently had to re root because i got a refurb. either way they stuck me with .7 i updated to .2 because i could not root .7 got it rooted , yay, but now i am having the hardest time flasing a recovery image. i tried using rom manager to get clockworks but the download from the market would not download, so i put it on my sdcard and did it myself. so i have rom manager now, but it keeps telling me i need reliable connection, im on wifi and i have five bars. ive had no luck.
i pushed both the recovery images i have on my sd card, and i tried to flash them but it keeps telling me they cant find them.
kyle-markss-macbook:tools kylemarks$ ./adb shell
$ su
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
flash_image: not found
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
flash_image: not found
# kyle-markss-macbook:tools kylemarks$

If you haven't already checked it. Try making sure the recovery is named .img & not. img.img on your sd card
Edit also make sure the recovery img is not in any folder. As in just on your sd/card
Yea its me again. With the
Modified Hero
Just get rom manager from the market and install clockwork recovery from the app. It sounds like you dont have the binary for flash_image.

I currently can no longer use my power button. I was wondering if there is any way to use ADB to install the Update.zip to root my phone.
Adb reboot recovery? Dunno if that'll work
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
adb reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
after it reboots to the recovery,
adb push update.zip /sdcard/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That will work, to reboot to normal again, "adb reboot"
As of right now, I don't think /sdcard/ is the right directory. I'm going to try to find the correct one. It couldn't find the directory or .zip.
As long as your phone is on and debugging mode is on, then ADB should work.

Hi I have a Rooted HTC Dream ( checked it with the app available in Android Market). I am not able to boot my phone to recovery mode please help am able to get to fastboot using cam button and power button.
Find amonra recovery in xda, latest is 1.7 something
Put on root of sd card and name it recovery.img
Open a terminal and type
su
If you see a # procees
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
If you have an error it could be you need to add the flash image bianary or you have a bad download or named it wrong,

Hi there,
I want To flash the recovery needed for the multirom mod, but i'm not sure how To do it. in the multirom thread i can download the recovery but its a ZIP file.
I did also installed cwm and normal twrp before, but i did it through the terminal APP. I just placed an image file in the root of my SD and typed this Command:
su
cat /mnt/sdcard/recovery-6028.img >/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
sync
And it worked.
But in other thread i also saw this Command:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Where are the diffrences? Which one will work?
And one more, can i use all ADB Commands in thE terminal app? Does the terminal APP acces ADB like through fast Boot?
Thx for some help, hope my english is good enough ^_^

You can flash the TWRP as a zip in CWM/TWRP or whichever recovery your using!
However if it doesn't work, Boot to boot loader/fastboot, theres a thread on this, put the TWRP recovery.img in the directory with the adb and fastboot.exe's, make sure you have drivers installed, and do this command when in fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [Name of recovery].img
Check the multirom thread, i have a tutorial posted :3
Oh man !
So easy, can't believe xD
Ty for the other step by step guide, but isn't it the same as if i extract the Boot.IMG, Place it on root and type one oft the commands above?
But THX anyways for the fast answear
