Help! Screwed up recovery somehow.

OK, I have been running recovery-RA-1.5.2 for some time now and I'm using Fresh 1.1. I was trying to update my recovery to 1.6.2 and when I went to flash the recovery it gave me a bunch of errors and now I can't get into recovery at all. My phone boots fine into fresh but I get nothing when I try to boot into recovery either using home+power or adb. I have tried re-flashing the recovery and I even went back and followed the rooting guide from the beginning because I know that worked before. Nothing helped, I'm still getting the read errors. Going back to the old recovery is not working either, although it does show only 1 error instead of the many that 1.6.2 shows. Any ideas?
Here are the errors I got:

I remember when I first loaded the recovery image a long time ago that I got tons of errors, but the instructions said to ignore them.
I know, I am no help on this one.
there is always RUU, root, flash new image, load nandroid backup.

nothing is wrong. reboot and try again. Every now and then you get that error when flashing a recovery. hope you didn't wipe and RUU already.

Had the same issue as above, but mine wouldn't even get past the "htc" screen. Had to pull the battery, do an RUU then re-root using the 1.6.2.img
my advice would be to RUU and go back to "real" stock, then root again using the updated .img then load up your ROM again.

heck no DO NOT RUU as this WILL brick your phone. I had the same issue and tried to RUU. Your phone will be bricked. Just looks like you're going to be stuck using that rom for the rest of your phone life... You can take the risk if you want but don't say I didn't warn you.

he can't even root, flash new image, or even nandroid as he is only able to turn on his phone and it goes straight to the actual android os .. it does not allow him to goto the ra. Like I said I had to return my phone because I tried RUU after this and it bricked.

This happened to me today also. I downloaded better terminal and installed old recovery menu through terminal. It worked perfectly.

Try this:
adb shell reboot oem-78
Once the phone shows the HTC logo try this:
fastboot devices
Make sure your device is listed, then flash the recovery:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
recovery.img should be the latest recovery image.

i got this message a few times but there was nothing wrong with my phone. what i did that i know fixes the problem is this:
download a task killer of some sort and kill ALL APPS. as in, ALL currently running apps.
try flashing it again. it should work.

That's why you should reboot into oem-78 and use fastboot, so nothing else is running

EDIT: THAT worked with the old 1.5.2 recovery!!!! Thank you so much!!! I don't know why my phone hated the 1.6.2 recovery. Maybe it just didn't want to be blue.

This seemed to almost work. The flash finished without any errors but then when I try to boot into recovery it just sits on the HTC screen forever I tried doing the command "adb shell reboot oem-78" and it just returned a "1" and the phone didn't reboot. Any idea?

try this
Code:
adb shell

try it without combining it all into one line, like adb shell reboot recovery. i found that that doesn't always work. so just separate it into two lines

It's back to v1.5.2 with the fix using the task manager. Just gonna have to figure out why 1.6.2 is failing now. Thanks!

I got 1.6.2 working using the one with out a color change. Maybe I just downloaded a bad copy of the blue one from the start. I guess this is how we learn. Thanks again for all the help guys!

i had this same issue, exactly... i did the fastboot flash and now im rocking the blue carebear...

Has anyone tried flashing with flashrec when it fails, a la the original recovery loading?

I got those errors on my first attempt at flashing the 1.6.2 recovery image so I just rebooted then used adb and reflashed the 1.5.2 recovery image, rebooted into recovery just fine and then when I was at the recovery screen I followed these instructions:
make sure the recovery image is already on your sd card.
Code:
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/... (while at the recovery screen)
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a (I got an error on this so just ignored it)
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.6.2.img
everything works great now

I'm new to this "forum" business, so I don't know how to do this officially... but you, sir, have my thanks. this information was solid.
out of curiosity, how'd you know that special mode to tell fastboot to load up?? as a developer I'm always interested in how people find information like this!

If you can Turn on your phone Normally, just Boot your phone... Then once its Turned on, Install Rom Manager and Flash a Recovery through that app! Then at the Bottom of the Rom Manager app you can Select Flash a Alternate Recovery!
That should Switch your Recovery back to Amon_RA! But if it Doesn't... You'll still be back up and Running with a Working Recovery!
GoodLuck!

Technical Rooting Issue

Trying to Root my first G1. Having some wierd issues.
Been searching the net for 2 days with no working solution.
Successfully downgraded to RC29, it says so in the settings.
Then working with freshly FAT32 formatted SDCARDs (of sizes 4gb, 1gb and 1/2gb), I attempted these two methods:
Method 1:
Clockwork's Telnet installed
From home screen i punch in <enter><enter>telnetd<enter>
Launch Telnet, connect to localhost:23
Telnet displays: ??[]??[]?? ??[]?? #
From there I type (with no errors): mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
## is now displayed. I CD into sdcard, LS the contents to confirm I'm there. Seems normal.
then...
## flash_image recovery cm-recovery-1.4.img
which returns this:
mtd: erase failure at 0x00000000 (I/O error)
mtd: erase failure at 0x00000000 (I/O error)
mtd: skipping write block at 0x00000000 <-----pauses here for a second, then again...
mtd: erase failure at 0x00000000 (I/O error)
mtd: erase failure at 0x00000000 (I/O error)
mtd: skipping write block at 0x00000000
##
Method 2:
Recovery Flasher 1.1.3 installed (Previous versions of this APK come up as unsuccessful installations)
Note, the "Download Recovery Image" button is grayed from the begining.
I type the path/name of the recovery image on the sdcard (Tried both CM's image and RA's image)
The button changes from "Download Recovery Image" to "Flash Recovery Image" as soon as I finish typing the path.
However... The button remains gray and disabled. No explanation is given.
Also as a side note (in case it is relevant), when I hit Backup Recovery Image I get "working do not interrupt", then "Backup FAILED: Image is invalid.
This is all going a little outta my league and is getting real frustrating haha. Any help is reeaaally appreciated.

Bump. I can't be the only one with this problem, anyone?

Don't use the mount command when you telnet in. I haven't seen that on a rooting guide before, and it's definitely not part of Cyanogen's instructions.
As soon as you've opened the telnet connection, cd into the sdcard and run the flash_image command.
There's a link to Cyanogen's installation instructions in his ROM thread. Everything is explicitly spelled out, and easy to follow.

[HOWTO] DOWNGRADE to 1.31 which you can then root for Legend 2.1

Downgrade Success!
We have a good procedure to allow a downgrade via RUU, which then allows you to use the other root methods again.
Big thanks to Joeball88 for putting in the testing time with me to get the bumps all smoothed out, and for caska who had the epiphany that we should goldcard it before RUUing.
THE SCRIPTS HAVE BEEN UPDATED MANY TIMES! Please be sure to re-download the new hack4legend-v5.zip before you start if you a returning root seeker.
You will need adb access. Install the android sdk for your platform (macos, windows, linux) get it for your OS here.
If you don't know how to install the sdk, search xda, there are a ton of howtos for that.
*updated files to hack4legend-v5.zip @ 7-19-2010 11:35AM Central*
Preliminary things to do.
Download -
hack4legend-v5.zip
RUU 1.31 for Legend
Make a goldcard, these instructions work, but you have to change mmc1 to mmc0
Another goldcard method if the first doesn't work for some reason.
Get the Android SDK (skip if you have a working adb)
Have adb in your path, or move the files contained in hack4legend-v5.zip into your sdk/tools directory so your pushes will work properly.
FOR ALL OS's Make sure your phone has Applications->Development->USB Debugging turned on.
Do NOT have your phone in Disk Drive Mode, have it in Charge Only.
Open a terminal window in your /tools/ directory. Type this at the prompt.
Code:
crackin.sh
or in Windows
Code:
crackin.bat
Your phone will reboot 5 times.
You WILL see several error messages.
Look for this line, if the crwxrwxrwx matches you are ready to downgrade
Code:
crwxrwxrwx 1 1001 2002 90, 0 Jul 19 16:19 /dev/mtd/mtd0
if it looks like this c---rw----
Code:
c---rw---- 1 1001 2002 90, 0 Jul 19 16:19 /dev/mtd/mtd0
You're not.
Power cycle your phone.
If you have trouble, clearing your phone to factory defaults may help.
Put your goldcard in.
You can now downgrade to RUU 1.31, run the RUU_Legend_HTC_WWE_1.31.405.5_R_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_126592_signed.exe that you downloaded earlier.
After that you can follow the other root howto's for the Legend!
caska says this link is faster for the Legend root download.
If for any reason you want to put your old ROM id back in after you've ran crackin, but before you run RUU run uncrackin and it will reinstall your old ROM version number.
If you really love me and want to say thanks, donate some beer money.

(adb push ROM.zip /sdcard)
Sorry to bother,is the command above necesary ?

holy crap. trying this RIGHT NOW

It saves a reboot if you're planning on installing a custom ROM.
So technically no.

Damn, the recovery device is a different location. Did it ever say anything about mtd mmcblk? I'm unlocking the wrong location for the flasher. Gimme a few minutes to find out which partition it wants.
You can help me out by dropping to an adb shell and doing a mount and pasting the results.
Also, if anyone has a linux box and wouldn't mind giving me an ssh shell to a legend on adb it would speed it up a bit.

Great! Keep me posted. As I said above, the method for this is on the device, so it "SHOULD" work.

need help to root rogers dream, please

Hi,
I got a rogers dream and i tried several ways to root it, but i cannot so far:
1. follow wiki guide, but i cannot got into recovery mode by holding Home key while power on the phone, it hangs on at rogers screen.
2. try goldcard. cannot update, showing Model ID incorrect, failed. i am not sure it is because my card or something else.
3. i tried flashrc(?), it failed updating img.
4. i tried telnet. remote refused.
if you succeed rooting a rogers dream 1.33.0010, please tell me how.
thanks,

Follow this guide
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_911_Patched

thanks for your swift reply. that is the wiki i followed, but when i tried to install DangerSPL, i cannot go into recovery by holding HOME while power on the phone. it hangs at Rogers screen.
i checked radio and it is correct version. should i flash radio still?
any suggestion?
thanks,

Well you certainly need recovery..
The original steps for that process are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rooting_HTC_Branded_EBI1_Dreams
(as cm wiki sometimes is organized more for maintenance by people who don't use a rogers dream than being user friendly.. and they removed the link to the xda thread with all the q&a on the process)
the error however is either you are flashing the wrong recovery; or the flash of the recovery failed. make sure your flashing one of the '-R' ra-recoverys.
best to take it from the top.. if recovery still fails some people have found re-flashing the e911 rom and trying again helped (see 'Returning to Stock Rogers' on the xda wiki page)

still i cannot go into recovery.
can you tell me how long i have to hold HOME key in order to boot into recovery?
i push HOME and POWER together, and then i can only see ROGERS. it probably stays there forever.
one thing i cannot follow wiki before is LONG HOLD POWER TO TURN OFF PHONE.
thanks,

If you can boot normally but not recovery (ie you are stuck on the rogers logo and it never changes when you boot holding down home) their is a problem with the recovery you flashed. (We will not move on from this statement unless we find why there is an issue with the recovery or that the incorrect recovery was flashed)
As for long press power or end on the phone that is how you get the shutdown menu in the rogers and other roms.. so I'm not sure what is wrong if that is failing outside user error.
I need you to do the following if you want help:
1) flash (as per the restore stock rogers rom on the xda wiki) the e911 patched rogers nbh file
2) making sure you document every command you run and saving the console output to a text file run the e911 rooting process as per xda wiki
3) if you can't boot recovery post said output here.. however first check it with the sample output

thanks for your patience.
when i say long press power button cannot power off the phone, i mean i cannot turn off the phone by only press it, i have to go through two more windows, one is power down options and another is confirmation.
i will follow the instructions again to see what happen. do you suggest any recovery image? or something else i can do ?
thanks

wait what. power down options?
I don't remember power down options on the stock rom

The recovery image with the md5 sum in the instructions is what most people use.

after i run exploid, i can see three files: hotplug, loading, and sim_lock_status were generated, as well rootshell in /system/bin.
i tried to go into recovery, but i cannot, because it hangs on ROGERS screen forever. i have to pull battery out to reboot. then i checked /sqlite_stmt_journals, exploid, loading, hotplug and sim_lock_status were all gone. there were two files there: screen_lock_status and pattern_lock_status.
i don't have sim card in the phone, can it cause the problem?
BTW: i even followed "how to root Droid" to install exploid, using chmod 755 and turn on/off wifi after running exploid.
any suggestion? thanks,

Please don't follow the droidx instructions, and follow the Rogers root instructions.. the root exploit is the same but the hardware and goal is different.
many others hard successfully rooted and some q/a on the process is in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7306638#post7306638
You have not given the console output to your attempt so as I said earlier I have no additional recommendations than what I have already provided as we do not know what recovery you flashed.

i am very new to this thing. does "console out" mean the screen captures? i will supply tomorrow.
i had tried different recovery image, the results are same. could you send me a known working image for rogers dream?

See now we know the error .. well that there was an error anyway.
I'm used to a memory error not the io error. Usually when flash_image fails it skips the block and writes the data in the next block.. if all is well the block is flagged bad and the spl booting the recovery does the same.. seems not all is well in your case.
Before going too crazy. . Lets see if we can make it work.
1) restore the rogers nbh
2) try to boot recovery (hopefully) you will enter stock recovery with the /!\ image.. alt+L will show a short list of options, you may reboot to the rogers rom.. if it fails to boot make a note to inform me in your next reply and reboot into the rogers Tom
3) try the root process again with the 1.6.2R recovery

3b) if it works you can use fastboot to flash 1.7.0 after installing the 1.33.2005 spl.. I think 1.7.0 will work then..
Report back if it works great. . If not things are a bit more complex. . Particular if the stock recovery also fails.

when you said "rogers nbh", do you mean Bootscreen.nbh?

i restore rogers nbh. and i can go into recovery mode. after press alt-L, it shows:
android system recovery utility
there are three options:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe date/factory reset
but on the bottom there is warning:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
what i supposed to do next?
thanks,

i tried to go through the instruction. but rootshell won't be generated after run exploid. i can see exploid had run, but in /system/bin there is no rootshell.
i tried
IMMEDIATELY after executing the next step, toggle wifi or bluetooth off and back on
Run "./exploid" and follow directions on screen. Once this completes you'll be back at a shell prompt.

[Recovery] ClockworkMod v4.0.1.4 (with offmode charging/advanced backup)

Hi all, here's a custom ClockworkMod recovery I've built, and are using personally. It has advanced backup and a wipe all function, which is useful for completely wiping the phone before flashing a new rom.
It also has support for offmode charging, so you can charge your phone while it's turned off. In addition to this, it fixes the old bug that you couldn't turn on the phone if it was turned off while it was charging.

Ye it is.
Wipe all formats all partitions, so it's REALLY clean. I always use this before installing from fresh.
NB. You loose Amend scripting and the ability to install Sense based roms, but you can use Rom Manager for that.

So it wipes ext partitions too?
AND ALL OF SD CARD?

Not sd card, but ext yes. Hmm, maybe I should remove wiping of ext from it?
Or maybe not, a wipe data/factory reset also wipes ext.

Cool stuff.

Seems like unrevoked 3.32 failed at getting root (with both stock Froyo and CM7 RC3), tried out with 3.14 and what came out was a success.
Thanks!
Download unrevoked 3.14 here: http://puu.sh/1ngI/unrevoked_3.14.exe

what are the advanced restore functions?

You can selectively restore stuff (boot, system, cache etc.), IIRC.
Edit: "Mount USB storage" seems to die after a few seconds of file copying, can anyone verify this?

I copied around ~10 MB of files using the 'Mount USB Storage' Function. Didn't die for this short while. Will try for some large files later.
Was holding out from updating CWM, but, glad I did it finally.
Somehow, I got another issue though, it seemed to kill the Superuser app. It always FC'ed. Had to remove it altogether and flash it again. (Market download also didn't fix it)

I was actually gonna compile this myself, but thanks arco
Now I need to find Unrevoked 3.14 for OS X
OR maybe I'll just do it from windows xD

You could've just asked me. Uploading it, not sure whether it'll work or not.
Edit: Here you go: http://puu.sh/1nly/unrevoked_3.14_OSX.dmg

What do I wrong?

I've just noticed that it skips my sd-et partition while making a full nandroid backup. It just displays "no sd-ext found, skipping..." are you having similiar issue guys?

This happens when you Wildfire is not S-OFF thus flashing recovery via Terminal emulator gives failures. Try via unrevoked 3.14.

i'm not sure if anyone can confirm this or weather arco already knows about this or even weather it's just my device only! but since i pushed this recovery with unrevoked a new superuser apk was installed and for some reason seems to be forceclosing everytime i try to open it or everytime something is trying to request $su permissions! meaning my rom has now become unstable as everything trying to request root is failing.

Yeah, unrevoked installs superuser so you have 2 conflicting versions. Just reflash whatever build of CM you're using. (Format system first)

Thanks again nhnt11 however a simple "adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/" worked fine once i had adb through recovery!

Now that's strange. I'm using some old CWM 2.5 version and I already have advanced restore which already allows to selectively restore partitions.
