I have been lurking on this site for sometime in anticipation of my new Sprint Hero.
I got mine the other day.
Of course I want to put a custom image on it.
So I start with this link to start the process and get a recovery image on it.
I am following The Rest that guys guide.
When I get to step 13
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img /sdcard
I get a permission denied error.
What are some ways around this or am I doing something incorrect?
I have searched the forums to no avail
Thanks in advance.
My Hero has this software versions:
Kernel 2.6.27-533ce29d
Build # 1.56.651.2 CL85027 release keys
Software version # 1.56.651.2

Did you "unmount the sdcard then enable your USB debugging"?
Unmount and enable USB Debugging from the applications menu.
And I think its "Theres That Guy"... Could be wrong.
Here are the contents of my command window.
I unmounted the sd card then I enabled the usb debugging.
I cannot even see the sd card in windows but the phone is seeing the correct capacity.

Uh Oh, did Sprint patch our root???
Sucks if they did, it looks like everything is done right.
My other suggestion is to go down load the pre-kitchen from
Geekfor.me
Downloads are on the right.
Use Auto-rooter.

I have always had an issue doing it from adb shell, or flashrec, even though it would work perfect on the old ladys phone. If your phone is rooted, put recovery on root of sdcard, download command executer from market. Open it, check superuser, and type.
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
I can't remember if recovery is needed or not after flash image. If it doesn't work, try the other way. Also make sure you spell the file name right. It should take about 30 seconds, then reboot into recovery. This way, can be done quickly, from your phone. Also, if anything in the command is entered improperly, it won't work.
Wait never mind, its not Root thats failing its the Recovery Image.
Do this:
Rename the recovery image file something easy like RA152.img
Copy it to your SD card from windows. Which means you have to slide down the notifications bar and mount it for Windows to see it.
Once you have it on the ROOT of the SD card, not in a folder.
Go into CMD and do this.
CD C:\AndroidSDK\Tools
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/RA152.img

Just mount your SD card via USB to your computer and copy it over. Then unmount and flash it.
I tried the Fresh Kitchen
When I try to auto root it says cannot find asroot2 please redownload the kitchen. I did that same results.
When I try to push a recovery image ontot the SD card it says kitchen cannot find the filepush.bat please redownlaod the kitchen. Which I did.
So frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try this. Go to Setting -> SD Card & Phone Storage and see if you have an option to mount the SD card. If you do, try tapping the option to mount.
If you have 'Unmount SD card', try tapping that option, ejecting the SD card, reinsert it again, and (if needed) tap the 'Mount SD Card' option.
The only other option I can think of is to reformat the SD card in a card reader in Windows...could be a bad format.
Also i cannot see the SD card in Windows. I ahve tried it on a Windows 7 and a Windows XP machine.
I know the phone sees the card because its showing the correct size.

I never get a mount option. No matter what I try.
After I unmount the sd card. I can then remove the card from the phone.
Then when I insert it. The phone recognizes it and automatically mounts the card.
Plug the phone into your computer. Drag down the notification bar. Mount it. Then copy using Windows Explorer.

Please describe better. I dont understand.
to move something to your SD card such as music or in this case the recovery image touch and hold at the very top of your screen and slide your finger down to the bottom. this should show a couple different options one will say USB connected. press that option and it will bring up a dialog box asking if you want to mount the card press mount. If you have windows then autoplay sould pop up on your comp and say open folder to view files choose that. you then drag and drop the recovery image to the SD card. once again go to notifications and choose the same option and unmount the card.
you then go to cmd and type this
Code:
cd/
cd /where_ever_you _have_SDK/tools/
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
wait untill you see the '#' symbol and type
Code:
reboot recovery
that should do it
Alright im already rooted and i flashed clockwork recovery image and I want it gone. I'm trying to go back to Amons recovery image. However when im in the command and I type in adb push recovery-ra-eris.img /sdcard I get no such file or directory error... but i have the file in the tools folder of my androidsdk... any thoughts

Dumb question, but I gotta ask it...
Are you running with the tools folder in your path, so you can execute adb commands from anywhere in the shell? Or are you actually *in* the tools directory as you run the command?
Either way, maybe you should try specifying the full path of recovery-ra-eris.img (as in C:\path\to\recovery-ra-eris.img or /path/to/recovery-ra-eris.img).
I have the tools directory open as im doing the command... i didnt have this problem last time i did this... so idk whats wrong

Here are the steps I have used over and over, so try this. And I used this link for the recovery, so maybe download this one and give these commands and recovery a shot.
Download Link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/jje5xr
Extract file contents to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK
Open up a command prompt and go to your tools directory, and execute these commands: (MAKE SURE YOUR SDCARD IS NOT MOUNTED TO YOUR COMPUTER OR THESE COMMANDS WON'T WORK! MAKE SURE IT IS ON "CHARGE ONLY")
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Type dir recovery-ra-eris.img in your c:\AndroidSDK\tools directory. If it comes back with nothing, then you actually put the file somewhere else (don't worry, happens to me from time to time).

whats with everybody elses free version of rom manager not flashing the alternate recovery? im still a huge fan of ease of use personally. and its always worked im too scared to flash using it but i always flash the recovery when they update just to check it out.
and fyi renaming the recovery to something simple like recovery.img always makes things in the terminal easier as the gentleman above had mentioned
should i flash it. i dont have root
WOW! i cant believe no one has replied to you.
if you take a look at the first post with the topic
[ROM] Official AOSP 2.2 OTA
but you mentioned you dont have root. so try installing alogcat from the marketplace and capture the whole deal. then you can email directly from the app.
logcat isnt going to do much, it prefetches the files, need to pull the update.zip from adb
ok, so i havnt gotten the notice yet.
but need a bit of help prepping for when i do.
i have the android sdk installed on my desktop, and can create a virtual device etc...
but when i open the cmd prompt and try to run adb devices it says it is populating a list but i see no results or no file created.
so i tried just running adb logcat and it stops at waiting for device.
any pointers. im running win7x64 ultimate
well, i screwed it up. i removed the usb drivers and set it to debugging mode and got it working.
so i am able to run adb shell etc...
once i get the notice ill be ready to do an adb pull
adb shell
su
cd /cache/
ls
adb pull /cache/<package_name>.zip .

but how do you know the new radio and spl update name?
you should get that by running su then "cd /cache/ ; ls"
right now i have
download-1.apk
downloadfile.apk
recovery
lost+found
so after it is precached i run that "cd cache/ ; ls" i should have another file or two in there
that would be the file you run adb pull /cache/*.*
a tad bit of help, as a test i am trying to do
adb pull cache/downloadfile.apk d:\
but i get
remote object 'cache/downloadfile.apk' does not exist
i also tried adb pull /cache/downloadfile.apk d:\
and get the same.
edit:
tried doing a adb push
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push d:\test.txt /cache
failed to copy 'd:\test.txt' to '/cache/test.txt': Permission denied
so i dont have permission to put anything there, which means i likely dont have permission to pull from there
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /cache/downloadfile.apk d:\
remote object '/cache/downloadfile.apk' does not exist
so i opened another cmd prompt and and did an adb shell
su
and i am su
so while the other window was open and i was su i tried the same commands again and got the same results.
edit2:
D:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell ls /cache
opendir failed, Permission denied
so it is definately a su/permissions issue.
Are you rooted? If not use Universal Androot.

Here do this:
First if you have root, open up terminal or cmd prompt if you are on windows:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount yaffs2 /cache
chmod 777 /cache
that will change the permissions allowing for read and write.
Now exit out of shell and just adb pull /cache/
That will pull everything out of the cache partition.
BAM!!! perfect!
i new it was permissions related. just couldnt figure out the "mount -o rw,remount yaffs2 /cache" part. might i ask you to break that down for me? at least the yaffs2 part.
thanks!
so once the update hits i am ready to grab the files.

So the YAFFS2 part of the code I put up there is designating the file system in which we are reading/writing.
YAFFS2 is the most popular and widely used format for flash memory.
please allow me.
yaffs2 is a filesystem type. /cache is of course the directory. -o is for option.
rw: read/write
remount: remount /cache again with new option.

Oh yeah and BTW, you can change the permissions back if you want after your done, otherwise I believe you can just reboot the phone and it fixes it, not entirely sure, I was trying to rewrite my default.prop to get adb remount to work with stock 1.6 rooted, but I am getting and access denied issue.
perfect was about to ask what the -o was but i tried mount --help and mount -h both resulted in nothing. then you reply sharpt71
thanks again all.
i am now ready to pull the update and upload once i get the update. hopefully soon!
Rather than the remounting and chmoding so you can adb pull.
You could probably get away with
Code:
su
cp /cache/<whatever> /sdcard
Then mount the SD card or put it in a card reader.

You probably could I just know that this is a sure fire way to grab everything in cache directly to the machine, otherwise if you aren't next to a machine you could probably do a copy like you said.
My 2nd update failed, do you guys think the files are still in my cache?
Hi everyone,
A few days ago I got the OTA 2.2.1 on my MT3G and then rooted it using the SuperOneClick tool. I was able to remove all useless apps, pushed others to /system/app with Root Explorer, etc., there is only one to do, and I am clueless: how to replace the stock Android System Recovery <3e> with a custom recovery image, so I can do Nandroid backups, flash .zip files, etc?
I used the ROM Manager app to flash Clockwork, got an "Installation successful" confirmation, but then on reboot into recovery mode my phone got stuck on the MT3G logo. I had to remove the battery, then in second attempt the phone booted into the <3e> image. Restarted again, opened the ROM Manager, according to it Clockwork was installed. Total craziness! Then I tried to flash it using Better Terminal Emulator (su, flash_image recovery /sdcard/Clockwork.img) but I got a "flash_image: not found" message, though I had the image on my sd card.
Any good ideas, folks?
All useful suggestions much appreciated, thanks!
They've been excluding flash_image from htc roms lately. What your gonna have to do is put flash image on your sdcard with the recovery.img. Then mount your sdcard and run the flash_image from your sdcard and flash the recovery image. After your done then you remove the installrecovery.sh from system/etc. That is what keeps installing the factory recovery when you reboot. I get home and onto a decent internet connection in a few hours and I'll upload some adb commands to help you do this.
make sure you have the recovery.img and flash_image on your sdcard
run these commands in adb
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
cd sdcard
mount -o remount,exec /dev/block//vold/179:1 /sdcard
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
exit
It's kinda relative to the topic. I'm stuck on clockworkmod and would like to get back to stock recovery as the new HBOOT doesn't let me flash roms. Is there any way I can do so?
Look in my guide... all the files, steps and binaries are included...
Check out my signature!
Thanks, Asadullah. One more question: Are there different versions of flash_image for different android versions, because I saw in another forum a user complaining he/she didn't use the right binary.
Edit: I've extracted a flash_image binary from CM 6, hope it will work
Edit2: It worked, thanks a lot, man!
I think that flash_image from different devices is different someone correct me if I'm wrong. Glad it worked

I forgot to ask you one more question, don't want to open a new thread for this one, perhaps you can help again
I put the code you gave me through the terminal, since adb denied me of su permission. I installed the SDK, and after typing "adb devices" in cmd it saw the phone. "Adb shell" worked (saw the dollar sign), but then intead of getting the pound sign, su gave me "permission denied". But I get the permission when using the terminal. I also cannot see the phone directories when I open DroidExplorer, but otherwise it sees the phone and I get su permission when I use its command prompt. I thought there may be a problem with the root, but if there was, then how was I able to delete and push system apps and install the custom recovery? What do you think may cause the problem? Thanks.

I know it's been a while and you didn't get a reply, and while I found this thread because I too am having enormous trouble rooting this whatever it is cheap chinese android 2.2.1 momo 2 thing covered completely in chinese language apps that I simply cannot use even for the low price it cost me - I thought I'd offer an answer, most likely wrong, but one that may help the next person who may fall into your position.
adb root is an option to start the adb service in root mode, and I can only assume that means for the device.
As I have not been able to get this thing sorted, not knowing what it is really - no phone, no camera, no buttons on the case apart from power/sleep - Home/Esc which do nothing on booting apart from alert the PC to detect a new USB device, no market access, but otherwise exactly what I required - I dont know if it'll help.
But I hate threads left in a question, because I always find them. And this circle of frustration seriously should not be real, it just cannot be this damn hard to do something...
yikes!

make sure you have the recovery.img and flash_image on your sdcard
run these commands in adb
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
cd sdcard
mount -o remount,exec /dev/block//vold/179:1 /sdcard
./flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
exit

They've been excluding flash_image from htc roms lately. What your gonna have to do is put flash image on your sdcard with the recovery.img. Then mount your sdcard and run the flash_image from your sdcard and flash the recovery image.

Hi I have been trying all evening to remove com.wsandroid.apk from my phone, using terminal but I simply cannot. I've tried many different commands and I'm just being told either permission denied, directory not found/not empty. I have a Wildfire which is obviously rooted. Please help me out, tearing my hair out here.
So you're using modaco custom rom?
Download the latest version of HTC Sync and install. This will also install the adb drivers. (I presume you use windows, if not, I apologise)
Download the Android SDK
Put the phone in fastboot mode (Power+Volume down) and plug it into your computer.
When the drivers are installed, use the command prompt to navigate to the tools folder within the android sdk folder.
Type the following commands, pressing enter at the end of each line:
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock03 /system
cd app
rm -r com.wsandroid.apk
That should do it
I'm using the stock ROM but it is rooted with Unrevoked. I'll try these instructions anyway.
- Connect your phone to the PC
- Clear WaveScure's cache on the phone
- Open a command prompt
- go to run go to C:\androidSDK\tools and then run these 2 commands
1. adb remount
2. adb shell rm /system/app/*wsandroid*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm trying these settings, but when I get to adb remount, I get this error: remount failed: Operation not permitted
EDIT: I put the phone into recovery mode and mounted it and it said remount succeeded, I then followed step 2. both *wsandroid* and com.wsandroid.apk and it says that they cannot be found.
EDIT: Nevermind, deleted it
There's currently no write access to system partition using Unrevoked on Wildfire. So you can't remove it. You flashed it with update.zip? I'm not an expert (yet) but I assume the only way (or easiest way) to remove it is to flash your stock ROM again.
