quick question

I currently am running an older version of jf's recovery image and would like to upgrade to Cm recovery 1.4.
I have looked through the fourms and can't find any help on installing a new recovery image over the old one. I was just wondering if I would have to install it like I did with the first one, downgrade my phone and all that or is there a way I can insatll it with out having to do all those steps over again.
Thanks for you help in advance
Ps. Didn't really know where to post this thread sorry if it is in the wrong area..

Hi,
This should really be in the Q&A section.
To answer your question, save the .img on to your SD card, do not rename it, go to your terminal emulator and type flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img
As long as you did not rename the file, and you spell the commands right, then you should be golden.

QUESTION !!!!!!!!!! >>>> Q&A Section !!!

don't forget the su. also you will want to do reboot recovery so you can see your pretty new recovery image.

thanks
Thanks for all the help guys

ps
And I guess I brain farted not putting it in the Q&A section, my bad

still not working

I did what you said it it didn't work, it gave me the message, this was all done in terminal emulator.
"error writing recovery : Permission denied"
Is there something i have to do to allow this?

do the following in terminal emu
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img

Put the recovery img on the root of your ad card
Installing the CyangenMod Recovery IMG
1. Open up the Terminal App on your phone
2. Type in su then press on "Always Allow"
3. Type in the following:
Code:
cd /sdcard
wget http://n0rp.chemlab.org/android/cm-recovery-1.4.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img4. Done! Easy as Pie

yes please download the recovery image and put it on the sdcard, THEN download the recovery image AGAIN using the wget command and replace the first one. THEN use the flash_image command which requires su permissions WITHOUT getting those permissions first.
Sorry, in a bad mood today.

What to do now? Trying to edit framework-res.apk

Ok, trying to edit framework-res.apk. I have a metamorph them running, and I also have a battery that got changed via update.zip. The problem is, I wanted the battery to be all white, rather than colored in order to fit with my black and white theme.
So I pulled my framework-res.apk, took out the battery .png's, and edited them. Then I put them back in. Problem is, I can't get it on my phone.
I tried putting the new framework-res.apk in the old update.zip and flashing it, but that just made my battery meter disappear. I tried adb push, but I got a permission denied error. Any help? First .apk edit.

adb pushing shoulda worked... what did the error say?

failed to copy 'framework-res.apk' to '/system/framework/framework-res.apk': Per
mission denied

That's the error I get. Not sure what I have to do to get permission to edit?

Do
Code:
Adb remount
first. Then push

adb remount only gives me another error
Code:
remount failed: No such file or directory

K go in recovery, cuz thts the safest place to push framework-res.apk
Once in recovery and ur phone connected to ur pc
After a few seconds (20'ish)
Type
Code:
adb shell
mount /system
exit
adb push <drag framework-res.apk here> /system/framework/framework-res.apk
adb shell reboot

This is harder than I though.
Code:
adb shell
$ mount /system
mount /system
mount: not found
Now what?

Yup it'll do.

Ok, making progress, /system mounts, so I type
Code:
adb shell
su
mount /system
exit
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
and I get
Code:
/sbin/sh: adb: not found
in your above post, you didn't mention su, but /system won't mount unless I'm root user, so I don't know any other way to do it? exit keeps me in the shell it seems (I still have ~$) but exiting again kicks me out of adb all together, then if I restart, I'm back at the permission denied error.

[Q] I can't boot into recovery!

I rooted using UniversalAndRoot, which worked according to the app. Installed ROM Manager and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery.
This is where I stumble. I've tried selecting Reboot into Recovery, Install from SD, powering up with Vol Down pressed and selecting Recovery. All three boot as far as the X, flash a bit of white at the bottom of the screen then the phone turns off.
Waiting for a minute/pressing buttons or pulling the battery lets me boot back up fine, but I still can't boot into Recovery.
I've tried choosing install AltRecovery and old versions of Clockwork but they both behave the same way.
Any advice guys? Is it because I rooted with UniAndRoot?

You probably have SLCD screen. Then you have to use Amon_RA 1.8.0.1 recovery which is only one (as far as i know) intended for SLCD screens.

Ah okay. Is there an easy way for me to flash that? Not really comfortable with the SDK approach...
Thanks for the fast reply btw

If you don't have unlocked bootloader you have to use flash_image binary to flash new recovery because amon_ra 1.8.0.1 recovery don't show up in rom manager.
Download it from here http://cyanogen-files.carneeki.net/flash_image.zip. Put it in root of sdcard as well as 1.8.0.1 img file and in phone terminal type
1) cd /sdcard
2) flash_image recovery 1.8.0.1.img (replace with name of img file)

I'm getting flash_image: not found
I've double checked the file name is correct

Did you unpack the zip file? There is only one file named exactly "flash_image" so you should not getting not found error if you have that file in root of sdcard and you are at /sdcard in terminal.
Send me output of "ls -la" command from /sdcard.

Try ./flash_image instead of just flash_image.
One more thing: type this as the first command when you enter the Terminal:
su
Then type:
cd /sdcard
./flash_image recovery <insert_recovery_img_name_here>

Weird. Try:
1) su
2) cd /sdcard
3) chmod +x flash_image
4) ./flash_image recovery file.img

Well, that's because SD card isn't a good place to put flash_image. Permissions inherited from FAT32 are awkward and aren't changeable. But there's a way around it.
Do the following sequence: run Terminal, enter the following commands:
su
cd /sdcard
cp flash_image /data/local/tmp
chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/flash_image
/data/local/tmp/flash_image <insert_recovery_img_name_here>

Won't work for 2 reasons:
1) In Android, chmod seems not to recognize letters for permissions.
2) On SD card formatted with FAT32, the mount assigns default permissions for all files, and they can't be changed - since the file system doesn't support it.

Have any file explorer installed? Astro / EStrongs / whatever?
Copy the file manually in file explorer, and skip the "cp ......" instruction.

It won't let me copy it... I've tried Astro and ES.

Lots of complications...
Install Busybox from the Market. Then you'll have "cp" working.
If it still won't work, try "busybox cp" instead.

If you have adb connection you can try this:
unpack zip I sent you and recovery.img to root of c:\ for example .. then:
1) adb push c:\flash_image /data/flash_image
2) adb push c:\recovery.img /data/recovery.img
3) adb shell
4) chmod 755 /data/flash_image
5) /data/flash_image recovery /data/recovery.img

then go into command prompt and type adb shell make sure its working if you still have root it will show # if not it will show $ I believe no biggie as long as it picks up in shell.
then type : flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img
then type : flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard/recovery_orig.img
select reboot from the recovery. now it will reboot and it will format misc and it will reboot again.

ya, i'm stuck in the same situation. I either get a "error -1" or it says "usage: flash_image partition file.img"
does getting "usage: flash_image partition file.img" mean the file was successfully flashed?

You are missing the space between mmcblk3pX and /sdcard.

ok, thats what i thought. when i do it the other way i get the "failed with Error: -1" any ideas on that. also if i send it back to t-mobile under the warranty, they won't send it back as damaged since i had CMW installed o it will they?

The links are down, any mirrors?

Same need files links re not working

IMG Reposted?
Hi Folks,
A couple of people have posted that the boot, recovery, and system image links respond with a "404 not found" error. This is still the case.
I recall reading somewhere else that the images may still live on the SD card on the device. If this is true does someone know where in the file structure they may be?
If not, does anyone know where to obtain the images?
Currently I'm in CWM reboot hades on my Dell Streak 7. Tried the Dell OTA update for Honeycomb...didn't know that was a BAD thing until it was too late.
I've tried flashing boot and recovery images from a backup I'd made earlier, but no luck, so thatruth's excellent guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1006829 doesn't help much...unless I can get the recovery and boot images.
So to reiterate:
I can get to CWM and clear the caches and flash a recovery.
I can communicate with the device via ADB and have flashed it with the backup images.
I can mount the internal SD card via CWM and my pc.
After flashing with the backup images, Fastboot still does not recognize that the device is connected, and the device does not apper to go through the 'format steps'.
Cheers,

Found 'lightly modified' roms (thank you DJ Steve!) for a T-Mobile streak on another XDA thread. Flashed using adb, and tadaaaa, it booted! sliiiight problem. Will not boot into recovery and no wireless.
Managed to install rom manager (AKA ClockWorkMod) via ADB but CWM wan't an internet connection to install the recovery rom. grrrrr.
One of the other modifications (aside from root) by DJ Steve is the installation of 'BusyBox', This actually seems to complicate things for me because I don't really know how to issue ADB commands from the BusyBox shell. I get a lot of 'invalid command' and the like... I was able to install CWM OUTSIDE the adb shell (adb install rommanager) but once I'm in the shell (adb shell)I don't know how to issue the proper commands.
What I want to do is either remove busybox, or use ADB inside busybox to flash the CWM recovery rom, then flash my backup roms. (and hopefully return to full functionality.)
Any suggestions on how to use ADB commands inside of busy box to flash a rom?

Can anyone upload the stock rom images? I need to flash back to stock :\

Motorola Milestone a853 Recovery / Open Recovery problem

Hello, as I said in the title, I have a problem with the recovery menu (Same with OR) - problem is I can boot in recovery (the screen with the triangle) but there can not go to the menu. I press Volume Up + camera and nothing happens. Remains the same screen with the triangle and phone.
Please give me a solution because my phone is moving very slowly with Android 2.2.x
Device - Motorola a853 Milestone
Bootloader - 90.78
Button on the camera work, as well as the volume.
What could be the problem?
Sorry for bad English ..

Come on guys, 26 views and no response to my question?
I searched all forums and tried all the solutions posted there, but none worked! But those were old solutions ...
No one knows who could be my problem?

Not sure what kind of problem you are facing. You can surely try this.
Looks like OR is not loading in ur case. You can download the latest OR, I'm using minimod OR, copy the update.zip file into the root of SD card, again reboot into recovery. If u find ur milestone stuck in triangle button try pressing volume up button. This time it should invoke the OR or it should ask u to update the zip file.
Still if it doesnt works i think u have to take advice from experts who can help u to use ADB comnands to troubleshoot further. Anyways best of luck.
Sent from my Milestone using xda app-developers app

like the last post, you should verify if you have OpenRecovery folder and update.zip file in your /sdcard.
You can try via adb or terminal emulation "reboot recovery"

I tried what you said nagabushan.c, but it does not work ... Always the same problem, no menu displays..

At least do u get exclamatory mark when u booted or milestone while pressing camera button ? Then give a sec gap and then press volume up button.
Any device both rooted or non rooted should display this.
Try ADB steps..
Let us know what u observe

I see an exclamation mark only when you press power + x (bootloader 90.78).
I tried ADB steps..not working.

Have you verified OpenRecovery folder and its update.zip on sdcard? Try to re-download and unpack it fresh new.
What rom you said you currently have?
Have you installed vulnerable recovery?

Have you verified OpenRecovery folder and its update.zip on sdcard? Try to re-download and unpack it fresh new.
I tried, does not work ...
What rom you said you currently have?
Stock rom 2.2.x.
Have you installed vulnerable recovery?
Of course, just as there's no difference ... the menu does not show.

The menu should show. Any menu. Either from stock or OpenRecovery. I would try with a different sdcard because the older kernel (2.6.29) in recovery does not support some cards well. If the buttons are working and you have installed everything correctly then it should work. I'd try with different sdcard.
Alternatively, you can try to tell recovery to apply update.zip from sdcard automatically
Code:
echo "--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
but note that I am not sure if you need to be rooted for that. I assume not. You can either install Terminal emulator from PlayStore or enable usb debbuging in settings and try to connect through adb if you choose to try.
To see if adb detects your device
Code:
adb devices
if all is OK you should get some output (aphanumeric) and after that 16 characters, it should display in what mode is your device (device for a normally booted system, recovery for device in recovery...)
And then
Code:
adb shell
echo "--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
reboot
I'm no expert but it might be an unsupported sdcard...

The menu should show. Any menu. Either from stock or OpenRecovery. I would try with a different sdcard because the older kernel (2.6.29) in recovery does not support some cards well. If the buttons are working and you have installed everything correctly then it should work. I'd try with different sdcard.
Alternatively, you can try to tell recovery to apply update.zip from sdcard automatically
Code:
echo "--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
but note that I am not sure if you need to be rooted for that. I assume not. You can either install Terminal emulator from PlayStore or enable usb debbuging in settings and try to connect through adb if you choose to try.
To see if adb detects your device
Code:
adb devices
if all is OK you should get some output (aphanumeric) and after that 16 characters, it should display in what mode is your device (device for a normally booted system, recovery for device in recovery...)
And then
Code:
adb shell
echo "--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
reboot

Here's what I get from cmd:
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
04037B7518003010 device
C:\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
# echo "--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
echo "--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
cannot create /cache/recovery/command: directory nonexistent

My device is rooted wth "superoneclick" method.

Create it.
Code:
adb shell
mkdir -p /cache/recovery

Try without -p

I created the folder "recovery" inside "cache" with root explorer.
Now cmd shows me: ( check attachments )

are you missing "echo"?
Code:
echo "--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip" > /cache/recovery/command
it simply writes what is in the first argument (in quotes) to file named "command" located in /cache/recovery
Edit: you can ommit adb devices. You just test the first time when you connect to be sure if adb detects your device. After that it should generally give "device not found" or something like that if connection to device is lost.

I do not understand ...
The command "echo" - update_package = sdcard: update.zip "> / cache / recovery / command" should create a file called "command" in the folder "recovery" from the "cache"?
If so, there is no file called "command"
Sorry, I'm newbie ... I do not want to stress you out.
Edit : Hmm ...
Instead of reboot, like you said, I typed "reboot recovery" then restated the phone ... and the loading bar appears. The phone has rebooted when it came to approx. 30% ..

Yes, it should create that file with that content, to instruct recovery to automatically apply update.zip.
You can try to create that file manually with the
Code:
--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip
content in it.
Could you post the content of
Code:
mount
executed in adb? i was sure you can write to cache, it should be mounted read-write.

hm...
could you please execute in adb:
Code:
ls -laR /sdcard/OpenRecovery /sdcard/*.zip
post output.

Okay, it looks like it was done!
You've explained it very well ... but I did not openrecovery and update.zip in sdcard.
I thank you so much for helping me! Thanks a lot!!

That leads us back to the very begining of the process...
