My problem is this, when I try to flash the recovery image it says "file not found"
I've tried flashing from terminal on phone and from CMD on pc.
I have searched and searched with no luck.
please anyone help. Also how to use nand Restore what is the file that is being restored.
Also how to add removed apps from DC 2.0.72 rom step by step please.
Thanks

No that will not work. pm me and I will fix it with you on gtalk.
Since you ran the test ruu you do not have flash_image on your phone. You need to push flash_image to /system/bin/flash_image. I will attach it as a .zip below. Put the .zip in your sdk folder then follow these adb instructions to rename and push it:
Code:
adb remount
adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image
Be sure to type it as above to correctly rename it..it is not really a .zip but XDA forces the rename to attach..
You have to give flash_image permission now, so type this:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
Now you should be able to flash the custom recovery if you have indeed rooted your phone and gave permissions to flash_image.
Thankyou thankyou thankyou

I am pretty new to this, so it is case sensitive? I will try and see.
jeez guys. just plug your phone into your computer and drop the heroc-...img into your sdcard's root folder.
then:...\tools> adb shell
ls (to see what's in your current directory)
cd sdcard (to hop onto your sdcard)
su (if not already root)
flash_recovery recovery-.......3.img
reboot recovery

It is the command "flash_image" that is not found - not the img file
I have the same problem - but in posting it I see that everyone is looking at the error as though it relates to9 the img file

Here is what you need to do
Code:
adb shell
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery xxxxxxxxxxxx.img
reboot recovery
You should not need to remount, but if you need to or for future reference you type in adb remount from the command prompt and not in adb shell

Read an earlier post, download the file and do what the post instructs. You need the flash_image file on your phone

Mine says "remount failed: Operation not permitted" when I try to remount.

If you are in recovery and trying this you do not need to remount. If you are booted into Android try
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
you might also replace /dev/block/mtdblock3 with /dev/mtd/mtd1
and then chmod
I am having this problem as well.
Okay if your having a problem with the ole "flash_image not found" saying do this open up command prompt and type
Code:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
then open up another command prompt with the old one still running and type this
Code:
adb push flash_image /bin
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
Now you should be good to flash your recovery

I'm getting all the same errors everyone else on here is getting. Is flash_recovery a file that is required? I don't mean the .img file, but is it some kind of command file?
I have tried every method I can find. The Flashrec, adb push, mount-a, flash_image recovery *.img
Flashrec says cannot run command
mount -a says something about no device
Flash_image says no such file or directory
Please help Im on 1.2.3
Thanks.

One thing you could try is renaming the file to recovery.img or rec.img. I do something quick and easy. Also try rooting both computer and phone. I had this problem, went to sleep and the next morning have it a try and it worked. Make sure you type everything just as it says. Might also try using flashrec or fresh kitchen.

Ok Ill try that and let you know,. As far as fresh kitchen, can you tell me more about it, or point me in the correct direction?
thanks!

I had a similar problem upgrading the recovery image, where I ultimately corrupted the recovery image, and then could not boot into recovery at all anymore (though the phone worked perfectly on a regular boot). The new fresh kitchen was the only thing that worked for me.

Go to the "Rooter" tab, under the "Options" heading, and check "Flash RA only"
I have corrupted my recovery image also ,but Kitchen didn't work to fix it. Any other suggestions/
Try rom manager in the market. It had a button to flash recovery, it's the easiest way

Hi everyone,
I'm using a mac, trying to flash a new recovery image, more specifically the darchstar/godspeed recovery image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672324
I've got the recovery image on the SD Card (not in any folders...right on the top level)
When I issue the flash_image recovery /sdcard/Darchstar-OC-recovery-r2.img command, it's not doing anything.
I've tried issuing it from Terminal on my mac, and using a the android terminal application.
Thanks in advance for any help!
do it with terminal emulator on the actual phone. That's what I usually do
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/XXXXX.img
adb shell
#flash-blah blah blah.
I am trying to do this as well and when i type su into the command line it tells me permission denied. What am I doing wrong?

On terminal emulator your forgetting to type su doing so will give terminal emulator root access. SuperUser Permissions will pop up and ask if its ok click allow.
Try..
Adb remount
adb shell
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery Darchstar-OC-recovery-r2.img
Hi,
I cannot copy update.zip to my device using adb.
from my comman prompt:
C:\asdk\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
9000b0c52740 device
=> connected
C:\asdk\tools>adb push root.zip /sdcard/update.zip
failed to copy 'root.zip' to '/sdcard/update.zip': Permission denied
=> the problem
C:\asdk\tools>adb shell
$ su
su
# ^C
=> popup on phone, access granted
C:\asdk\tools>adb push root.zip /sdcard/update.zip
failed to copy 'root.zip' to '/sdcard/update.zip': Permission denied
=> nothing changed
I have JM5, SamSet 1.9d. Busybox installer is installed.
busybox installer says that phone is rooted, but when I try to install busybox it says error. nand is not unlocked or remount is not possible.
If I use windows explorer I can copy an update.zip to /sdcard but then recovery mode says "cannot open".
What wrong?
How can this be fixed?
Thanks in advance

first of all iv been trying to root my legend for hours and this is geting very furstarting... i am using the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845512
i have finaly managed to get adb to work and have made my goldcard after 2 days of intense work and now im trying to downgrade my phone to root it
i am geting the following error in adb
when i type adb remount it says remount failed operation not permitted i have looked all over the net and found no answer
in additon to that when im trying to use adb push i type the following
adb shell
$su
su
#adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb push flash_image /data/local/
i just get the same line repeated how to excute commands from adb? this is very confusing since im noob with rooting also the following lines i don't know how to excute them too
adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb push misc1-2.img /data/local/
chmod 755 /data/local/flash_image
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc_backup.img
/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img
please explain to me how to use theese thanks!
That one is relatively easy. You could also follow Paul's guide but I like my approach better
Connect your phone to your PC. Second you have to install VISIONary r13 into your phone and do the "temproot" procedure. After a successful "temproot" you should be able to adb shell and then su. Fire up command prompt and issue:
adb shell
su
...you should have root privileges now (showing #). Next thing is backing up misc partition and replacing it with one from hack4legend-v5.zip. Extract this zip somewhere and fire another command promt there. Now you should upload flash_image binary and misc1-2.img:
adb push flash_image /data/local/
adb push misc1-2.img /data/local/
...switch back to 1st command prompt and change permission of flash_image_binary:
chmod 755 /data/local/flash_image
...and backup your current misc partition:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc_backup.img
Now flash misc1-2.img:
Code:
/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc1-2.img
exit
...and you are set to downgrade retaining HBOOT 1.00.

Read better, you have to open a new terminal for pushing the files to the phone, you can't use adb push while you are in adb shell.
BTW you should avoid posting questions in development section.
