Howdy, not a noob to android, have an Evo, experienced user, but rooted my friend's hero with the 1 click method here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743289 And it says he's rooted, but when he tries to go into recovery it didn't load, and he gets the triangle with ! indicating no recovery. Is there any way to push a recovery without being on a pc?
Terminal Emulator i beleive
Would you know the commands? I'm not with him at the moment...long story.
i beleive just instead of adb you sup su instead, but dont hold me to do it.
cause TE is just basically like adb when your phone is booted and running, so id assume itd be similar commands
Alrighty, I'll try that with him.
Any other input is much welcomed.
Sorry if im not much help but also obviously you push it from your sd card instead of pc
Two easy ways to do it:
1) Grab a recovery, place it on the root of the sd card, and do the following in Terminal Emulator:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/whateverthefilenameis.img
or
2) Grab ROM Manager off the Market, and flash Clockwork from there.
Well I needed to check all my options,a nd it did help.
oh the differences between a junior member and a senior haha thanks stayclean, ill remember this too

He tried installing rom manager from the market but its not showing up, but still trying.
thats weird, get the apk and copy it to your sd card and install it with a file manager

Also tried that, but will try those links, cuz every one I gave him it failed to install.
umm it sounds like its falling apart haha, did you root correctly and everything? well youre pretty savvy so id suppose so. but thats a lot of mess ups for one thing
Well he does have root, but for some reason the recovery image wasn't flashed. So now getting that part up and running.
which should be easy, cause you have so many options, just having a stroke of bad luck.
did my link help?

im having some serious issues with my SU.
i tried temporizer's fix with no help.
it started a while ago when i flashed a theme and i could never get it back.
Ive tried EVERYTHING (to my knowledge which is definitely not vast lol) to no avail. and from what temp and a couple others have told me its a problem with cyan recovery 1.3, but now i cant flash to 1.4. im stuck with no SU, no way to flash a new recovery and pretty much half ass phone. ive never had this type of problem since i rooted back in januaryish. any help would be much appreciated.

Download cyan's recovery 1.4 to your sdk tools folder, start the phone in fastboot mode [back+power] folder and run:
Code:
fastboot boot cm-recovery-1.4.img
That should boot the recovery image and you can work from there to reflash whatever you want.
sdk tools folder? and that would beeeeeeee?
apparently im not as savvy as i once thought..... lol

You don't use adb...?!
That's like trying to play football with no limbs..
Get yourself rigged up with this:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r3/installing.html
btw.. you won't need to set up eclipse or the adt plugin for this, just make sure your environment variables and java paths are set up as per the guide.
well while football WITH limbs does sound much less entertaining, i am normally no where near a computer, and do almost everything right from my phone.... and i mean everything..... i download all my roms, themes, etc. right to my download folder, find em', rename em' flash em' and im good to go. i went on a computer to get the recovery simply because it downloads wrong on my phone and saves as a text file, seems like it does the same on mozilla for some people but i got it in .img form and its on the root of my card, and nothing.

I do a lot of stuff from my phone too tbh, Somehow it satisfies my geek cravings more fully.. But adb is massively useful when you're on the pc.. saves a lot of cramped typing on the device keyboard.
Fastboot will be your saviour in this case though, and you're gonna need a proper box to run that on.
i have NO idea what im doing with adb, i just downloaded it and im just starign at my screen like it tried to feed me a cheeseburger.....

lol.. adb is pretty simple.. a few examples:
Code:
adb push localpath devicepath # push files to your phone eg: adb push c:\update.zip /sdcard
adb pull devicepath localpath # pull files from device
adb shell # basically a terminal running on your device that you control from your pc.. im sure you can figure this out if you do everything from your phone.
adb shell reboot # guess?
adb shell reboot recovery # go straight to recovery without holding any buttons
fastboot should be in the same folder as adb.. you can use it to flash .img files from the pc or just boot the images without flashing them.
how do i run fastboot, adb, etc. in relation to them running processes on my phone.
i downloaded everything. i just dont know how to run it or if i have to run a couple things, have my phone in recovery or fastboot(im guessing).
god. i feel like a moron.

Assuming you're on windows, you'll have to install the adb driver first (not the standard android that windows installs automatically, theres a seperate driver in the usb_driver folder of the sdk). You also need to enable usb debugging on your phone.
Follow this guide if you need to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
You can use adb whatever mode your phone is in.. even when its stuck in a bootloop usually. You don't need to be running anything on the phone, the drivers are switched on by init.rc.
Fastboot can only be run with the phone in fastboot mode (surpisingly).
thanka alot man. im gonna give this all a try.
Good luck
ok. got adb running. ran the command you gave me. it brings up 1.4 but doesnt push it to my phone...... can i actually INSTALL 1.4 from fastboot/adb?
nevermind. figured it out. used common sense and just ran fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and it worked. thanks for everything
my super user still wont work.; so apparently it had nothing to do with the recovery..... im going to wipe, reflash cyan 3.9.1. and see if that works.
ok i just updated to CM 5. and well none of my apps are there, now im trying
this following :
sh /sdcard/installapk.sh /sdcard/theapp.apk
and no luck i think i can b doing it wrong.
cant DL the app cause i dont have the market app ether
Download DroidExplorer and you can do a bulk install of all your apps straight to the sdcard. Works everytime!!!
Link is in my sig
yea but i have no market on the phone and i dont have adb set up on my pc is it possible trew terminal to install astro so i can go on from there?
If your market is not there then you failed to flash the gapps.
You need to flash those AFTER CM5 or BEFORE. I've heard it works different for some people. First time I flashed it, it was before. Now it's after. Before and after won't hurt.
i figured that but the link on CM page for gapps is not working for me
I'm not really sure what having the market working has to do with anything. Clearly you didn't even take the time to click the link in my sig and go to the DroidExplorer thread.
it seems like that is for computers 64bit and up i have 32

Are you talking about DroidExplorer? I have it installed on my 10 year old Dell and it is definitely a 32 bit machine. I'm assuming you are talking about something else.
You can use busybox if you have the latest CM ROM installed which you do. Busybox is included in the ROM so you can run busybox commands from terminal.
Put the apps you want to install on the root of your sdcard just to make them easy to find. Once in terminal, su so you have a # symbol
Then
Code:
busybox install /sdcard/yourapp.apk /sd-ext/app
great now i am F*** i tried installing the debug phone ota file that was required for CM 4.x and now i have no recovery it comes out the phone with exclamation mark
trying the droid explorer now
no luck droidexplorer seems to view the device but nothing else

Well that makes sense considering Droid Explorer requires root...According to your post on the first page, you are seeing an exclamation point when booting into recovery which means you lost root access by flashing whatever it is you flashed. Time to start all over again.
There is an updated rooting post for the Dream over at theunlockr.com
ok now my thing is i cant have the phone on cause it will keep getting FC and after a few it reboots
im trying to set up ADB on my pc now will that help me fix this? the phone boots up and the it reboots on its owne
It seems pretty clear that you don't really know what you are doing when it comes to modding your G1, and it is also pretty clear that you aren't willing to listen to directions.
I told you that you could batch install applications through Droid Explorer and you blatantly ignored my directions then said that it wouldn't work because you have a 32 bit computer.
I then gave you directions on how to use busybox to install the application that you wanted and never got a response regarding whether you even tried it or not.
You responded further into the thread saying that now you are getting an exclamation point when booting into recovery which MEANS THAT YOU DON"T HAVE ROOT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Installing adb and getting it working isn't going to do anything for you as far as installing applications because you lost root access which means you don't have the correct permissions to do anything anymore.
I gave you the link to an updated post on rooting so either do that or update this thread with where you stand exactly. Can you get into recovery? Is it an exclamation point? Can you launch the terminal app? When you type "su" do you get a # or an $? Does it say permission denied? ETC ETC ETC

My whole point with the no market is if he would have flashed the gapps or found another way to get them he could have installed a file manager then installed the app off his sdcard.
This was a 1 - 2 minute procedure that he has not made an hour/s procedure.
I agree with droidexplorer, I use it quite constantly. However, if he would have correctly installed CM5 this issue would have never arisen.
As for OP, I strongly advise that you unroot and stick to stock. If you cannot successfully do this, there is a high chance you are going to brick and it's just not worth it.
this is not the first time i try this i have a understanding of what i am doing, for some reason i decided to try another sdcard and it magically booted fine, now the gapps link doesn't work for me, so i am trying to install astro threw terminal emulator (astro is on the root of the sdcard) so i can just install the rest of my apps
thank you busybox worked thank you so much
funny after all the stuff i tried i decided to try a diff sdcard and it booted fine and then changed back to the old sdcard and it works fine
Just like the title suggests, I need help. I have been working on this for three days and have not accomplished anything.
I have been rooted for six months, flashed many roms, kernels, enabled apps2sd, etc.., etc.., but I do not know how it all works(just to give you a little FYI).
"I do not have a recovery screen anymore." At first I just wasn't able to push a new one, it would tell me "usage flash_image partition.img" or something very similar. I searched for that phrase and found something with it in the G1 forums, tried it(probably should have asked first), and now I don't even have a recovery image. Like I said I've tried almost everything and it may be simple but this is beyond me, someone please help.

Yes there is a screen, it's the green HTC w/ white background. It will just sit there forever. I am at work right now so I can't do it yet but when I get home I'll try it, hopefully that works.
BTW, from my phone I can't tell if you have a donate button. I was serious about that.

Try downloading the RUU and then re-rooting your phone. It will be wiped clean from the RUU install then you'll be able to push a new recovery img over. If you don't want to do that my other suggestion is if you can't manually flash the recovery try downloading RomManager from the market and using that to flash a recovery.
As far as why you can't flash a recovery where are you placing the recovery.img when you try? are you doing it from your computer or from your sdcard using a terminal emulator? If its from your computer make sure that the recovery.img is in the tools folder and make sure you type it word for word (caps included) if your trying to do it from the terminal emulator and its on your sdcard the same applies as it must be letter for letter and word for word, but before you can type anything you have to gain root access in the terminal you do this by simply typing su and then enter. SuperUser Permissions will ask you if its ok to use root click ok then type in what you need to.
Since you said you've been trying to flash it I assume you know what to type but if you need it again just ask I'll post it up for you. Hope this helps.
Here's something I wrote a few days ago to help someone who was trying to flash a custom recovery might be helpful.
Flashing a custom recovery is pretty easy there is a couple of ways to do it some find it easier to do by putting it on the sd card and flashing it through a terminal emulator or if you have your htc sync and adb set up already you can throw it on your sd card and type this
Code:
adb remount
Code:
adb shell
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-darchstar.img
You should see this below
Code:
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-darchstar.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-darchstar.img
#
Reboot into recovery and you should be all set to go. The other way by using the terminal emulator you'll just type in this in:
Code:
su
Accept Root access request from SuperUser Permissions then type:
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA-darchstar.img
You should see the same output to know you did it correctly. Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone for all you help. I ended up being able to do it through terminal. I guess next time I won't wait three days to ask for a thirty second fix.
Has anyone not been able to boot into recovery mode on their phone. When I go into ROM manager and try to change ROMS or something it just turns off?
Probably the obvious answer, but have you tried reflashing a recovery?
Yeah If that's when you press the home button, down on the volume and on button at the same time.

no, reflashing, throught Rom Manager or ADB.
I personally think RM is the devil, it does all the stuff for you so when you run into this problem you crap your pants. Do you have adb and sdk goodies?
I am downloading them right now.

cool, then once you get it all set up and made sure, it recognizes it, place the recovery.img of your choice to the root of your sd card,
then type in a command prompt

flash_image recovery /sdcard/(file name).img
Ok I have downloaded and Installed Android SDK , Java RE, Java RE JDK. Is there anything else I would need to access the device through SDK?

Hey coffehandle Thanks for the tips.
I read up on that link you posted, and entered some commands that were posted to and it said, that there's not enough space on the phone. Then after doing som3 research I found out that somehow I had deleted the recovery image binary . Installed that fixed all the issues.
Flashed RockSteady ROM its pretty good. Over clocked to 700mhz. ADW launcher. Right now I'm playing Angry Birds Rio. Thanks to all the people at Xda.

Thanks to Trekfan422991 for cluing me in on the Optimus 3D recovery.
Working:
Nandroid
ADB (after special driver install, need to tweak recovery for it to work with normal drivers)
Mounting USB to computer
Flashing zip files
Dangerous:
Fix Permissions (caused lots of crazy issues, fix by wiping data if you use it)
Sdparted (the sdcards are mount incorrectly, this will probably destroy your device)
I am in the process of making a recovery specifically for our device, it is mostly done and will be posted here when it is ready!
What you are going to need:
ADB (and know how to use it, don't ask in here)
Rooted Phone (again, that will not be covered, don't ask in here)
Optimus 3D recovery image [Download]
If you don't understand something in that list, DO A SEARCH AND LEARN, don't clutter the thread with crap!
Lets get started!
Lets start by getting the recovery.img file on the phone. Open up a cmd prompt and type:
Code:
adb push recovery.img /data
The rest of this will be done on the phone shell. In the cmd prompt type:
Code:
adb shell
We will need to have su access, In the cmd prompt type:
(If you haven't allowed shell su in SuperUser now would be a good time to accept the root request on the phone.)
Code:
su
Now we are going to backup your current recovery to your sdcard. In the cmd prompt type:
(make sure your sdcard is not mounted to your computer)
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096
After that is done we are going to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery! In the cmd prompt type:
Code:
dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
Congrats! You now have ClockWorkMod Recovery! In the cmd prompt type:
(each line is single command)
Code:
rm /data/recovery.img
reboot
How to enable ADB access: (only if it's not working already)
Download and install: (unzip and install the 2 exe files)
http://www.mediafire.com/?j5m1plnvzb8r0zc
While booted into ClockWorkMod Recovery, go into your device manager, you should see an "LGE Android Composite Device" with a yellow triangle on it.
right click on it, update driver software...
select browse my computer for driver software
select let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
click the "Have Disk" button
click the "browse" button
browse to;
for 64bit:
C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LG Android Driver\64BitADB
for 32bit:
C:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LG Android Driver
and select lgandadb.inf
click "ok"
From that list select "Android Sooner Single ADB Interface"
click "next"
click "yes" on the popup

I found a few modes, but no drivers yet so I don't know what they are. Even if we break stuff the kernel and recovery are separate, so technically we should always be albe to get back into recovery to fix stuff.
thankyou DG for getting this started..
so now with my clockworkmod i just made a backup of stock rom... if i say change the framework and I get boot loop.. will this clockwork mod be able to restore the original rom without any problems???
tiny problem... might just be missing something... but after i made my backup and i choose reboot system now... it just goes back to recovery... how do i boot up my phone!!!
sorry if it is obvious... im super tired...

I got mixed up as to what partition to flash, you just flashed a recovery image over the kernel... its ok tho.
follow my instructions to the su part, then do this.
// this will restore the kernel
dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p5.backup of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=4096
// this will backup recovery
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096
// this will flash cwm
dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096
OP is fixed!
edit--
and you have no adb access, this is going to get interesting!
haha... i shoulda noticed

I cannot find the download link to the recovery - in the quote above from the OP, where it says download, is that supposed to be a download link? I don't know if there's a typo or if I'm just missing something, but the "download" word doesn't link to anything for me. Instead, I thought I'd try searching for it in the optimus 3d forums, but search is down too Does anyone have a link?

After CWM is installed and working on our device, would it be safe to fix permission in "ROM Manager," or does that just fix permissions through whichever recovery is currently installed?
I'm guessing someone here knows how ROM manager works in this regard, but if not, I'd be happy to be a guinea pig... after all, I can make/restore backups now! : )

Sorry for being OT but I must agree: if designgears made a Thrill ROM that's Cognition-esque then I'd consider keeping my Thrill, but considering he already has a ROM for the GSII, I imagine he's going to get the AT&T Galaxy S II? Side note, you know you've really earned some serious nerd-cred when other nerds (who you don't even know) speculate what your next cell is going to be

Not waiting on dg here. Think you missed the "let's" part. Working on a Thrill ROM as we speak. Just got the Thrill about an hour ago and I already dumped the system image, de-odexed it, created an updater-script, added root and busybox, removed bloat, and updated a few apps. Time to start theming, modding framework, and tweaking.
Im also working on a ROM but if we cannot flash zips with CWM then how am I supposed to flash the ROM? Are you going to flash it with Heimdall or something?

Oh, good to hear! Man I really have to sit down and try to learn some more technical stuff sometime, because ROM creation, and not even just the theming aspects, is so appealing to me.
Maybe you can create a thread placeholder and describe what you've done so far? We're really getting OT, sorry all.

Oh, I thought you could flash zips through adb after doing the fix? Or no? (((edit: wait, no, I was thinking about pushing .apks through ADB, not flashing .zip files))) Hopefully this is something DG's new recovery might address. If no to both, could you distribute ROMs via nandroid backup files of a fresh ROM installation? It would be incredibly inefficient, but it would work, right?
