mytouch 1.2 recovery broken

On test seven, went to flash Amun ras new recovery, didn't know that flashing a recovery is broken in this so now I am stuck with a broken recovery. I tried flashing it via adb shell didn't work, you guys have any suggestions?

Flash the 2010 Engineering SPL, flash recovery, then revert to stock SPL.

Flash via Terminal Emulator. I had to do the same thing.

Guess ill do yhat. I was hoping there was another way cuz i do not like flashing an spl via anything but fastboot lol.

I have the similar problem, i can't access the recovery, i can use the phone, or in the computer (adb) but i don't know how i can flash this without access to the recovery.

Download Terminal Emulator if you don't already have it.
Then follow these steps.
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G.img

Flashing recoveries is broken in t7 so that wont wrk. What i wanna know is if fladhing an spl via terminal is.

Do you have any access via fastboot? You could do a nandroid restore via fastboot then flash a recovery img... if not flashing an spl via goldcard method would work to let you fastboot flash a rom and recovery image.. perhaps..
I of course could be way off but I'm trying to help you brain storm.

What are the commands to nand restore via fastboot?

depends if you've done a backup via the recovery tool or the fastbooter.
If you did it on your recovery screen and it saved to the sd card you'll need to copy these files from the NAND folder in your sd card
Code:
data.img
system.img
boot.img
saved then in the /tools area of where ever you set up AndroidSDK. in my case it's /AndroidSDK/Tools/ (might be different for you)
Once that's done flashing codes are below. if you did NAND via fastbooter just use these codes.
Code:
fastboot devices (make sure it sees you)
fastboot flash system system.img
it will say Sending, then writing and say OKAY if it was successful
then type
fastboot flash userdata data.img
wait for the second OKAY and type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
wait for the second OKAY and type
fastboot reboot
Hopefully that works for you.

Ah okay that was simple, idk why I didn't think of it. I'm setting up sdk on my buddies laptop right now n then I'm going to get this thing breathin correctly again.

me too, hope it works out for you. if it doesn't I'll keep brain storming with you.

I'm just REALLY trying not to go throguh the root process again lol, I think I'm just going to adb shell the SPL and then fastboot the recovery given its the easiest way I can think of.

I also just thought of the idea that you could simply do
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery (recoverynamehere)

I need to flash the ENG spl first, which I am doing right now lol.

What is the appropriate command for flashing the spl? I did this:
adb shell
mount /sdcard
cd /sdcard/
flash_image hboot hboot.img
and via terminal:
su
flash_image hboot /sdcard/hboot.img
It said it couldn't find the hboot partition, my guess is I need to figure out what the correct partition name is.

Anybody know the command?

Heellllloo? Lol need some help here

Anyone got anything?

Fixed

flash_image recovery help

first off, let me say i'm a total n00b
trying to flash_image recovery to clockwork 2.5.1.2
downloaded recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-glacier.img (renamed to recovery.img) and put it on the root of the sdcard
launch terminal emulator (from market)
type su [enter]
type: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img [enter]
keep getting flash_image: not found
i've also tried ROM Manager and Flash ClockworkMod Recovery
it shows current recovery as ClockworkMod 2.5.1.2
but when i reboot into recovery, i keep getting the triangle !
perm. rooted with Visionary
obviously i'm doing something wrong. do i need to have S=off in order for this to work?
thanks in advanced

Close - S=off

I flashed via this method you need to download flash_image and put it in /system/bin

Yes you have to have s=off.
The security protocol is flashing the stock recovery image back onto the phone.

Custom recoveries!For all radio!

Welcome.
You have noticed that many roms identify the recovery and the phone.The problem is that with 6.35xxx radio you use recovery for Hero and you cannot flash roms like Hintay..
Here is the Solution.Only for sapphire!
6.35xxx radio
(see attachments for download)
CWM-Carz 4 Recovery(Only for H)
3.22xxx radio
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H
recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G
How to flash it:
Via adb
Root your phone using Universal androot(provided as attachment)
Install your adb drivers
Open cmd
Type:
adb push (directory wher recovery saved)/(recovery name including .img) /sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell
su(check your phone and agree to get superuser permissions)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Via fastboot(Only if S-OFF)
Fastboot erase recovery -w
Fastboot flash recovery (directory wher recovery saved)/(recovery name including .img)

Thank you so much! I was unclear on how to do it tough ADB, Thanks again!!

I tried flashing sappimg nbh and zip nbh says main is older
Zip seems as it flashes completes and go str8 back to hboot like nothing happened.
Tried to back up rec but says backup failed
And will not do anything with rom managers, says flashed recovery complete but in recovery mode shows a triangle.
Also 1 click works, su shows up in terminal..
I seen that this new update doesn't work yet
I tried searching but nothing. So if I just have to wait just say so.
But if something comes out please let me know.
And yes yes I know I shouldn't have updates now, but I didn't know before hand (obviously).
So thanks ahead for responses.

Okay, I'm not going to get into why you can't flash a custom recovery, but if you have "Root" then just do this . . .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428838 : My Unroot/ReRoot Guide .
::----:: You might run into an issue where you can't change your recovery. . .Heres the Fix.
1.) Put Your Recovery.img on your SDCard : (CW Recovery)Click the above link..
2.) Put flash_image on your SDCard : Click the above link.
3.) Open up terminal/adb (which ever you prefer) :v:
3.a)
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
or you can do it from the terminal emulator app like i did . .
(Skip the adb shell part if you do)

Before getting root and installing custom recovery it is strongly recommended do wipe data / factory reset. Make sure you have backup.

rooting mytouch 3g
i have a mytouch 3g with google, has stock 2.2.1 on it, i finally got the computer to recognize it and now i can get to the SD card thru my computer, but i can't find any way to root this phone at all, i keep seeing that superoneclick method works but i can't get it to work for me, i hook the phone up, push root and it gets halfway thru the steps and stops, what am i doin wrong? do i need a certain exploit set up in superoneclick?

Supeoneclick creates log on screen. Go to pastebin.com, post log there and give me link. I guess, you have problem 'no enough space'...

[Q] ICS 4.0.3 + Root + unlocked bootloader = and now?

Hi Everynone,
Well, this is my forst post here so if I'm doing anything wrong sorry. I will accept any tip to how use the forum as best I can.
Ok, goins into de point: it is my first time using custom roms, rooting and all other stuff with my Acer. I started using the ICS stock leak:
Acer_AV041_A500_0.009.00_WW_GEN1
Now I'm using Acer_AV041_A500_0.014.00_WW_GEN1 from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524736
Also, I'm using the ICSRoot version 3.1 (to have root) from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520469
And to finish I used this to installing bootloader/fix recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522384
As everyone can see I'm a noob, but I can learn a little fast
I'm doing all this to try install this rom:
ICS 4.0.3 FLEXREAPER-R5 for CWM or RA recovery flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517181
Now I think that all I need is install the RA recovery or CWM. I tried to install the CWM by Android Market using the ROM Manager, but when I do it the system give me a message "rom manager a500 does not have supported clockworkmod recovery".
Can someone help me to install CWM or RA Recovery? Can be showing me some guide (I tried, but I not found).

Ok,
Less noob now: I saw that I have RA Recovery installed when I did the process from "HowTo Installing the unlocked bootloader and fixing broken recovery in leaked ICS".
The problem is: I can't enter in RA Recovery, unless opening a CMD from my notebook and using the commands:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img (using the recovery_thor17_403.img inside the nvflash directory).
When I use by this way I can enter in Recovery and, for example, make backup from actually nvran to sdcard. But I can't enter using the "Power button + Sound button". If I do it come the "Dead Android with exclamation" in the screen
Any tip?

Same question.
Does anybody can access to CWM recovery with the "volume-/power" command after having used the jm77's method for fixing their bootloader "issue"?

Did you properly flash the modded bootloader blob? Because only flashing a modded recovery will not work

SOLVED!
The problem is: when you use the guide to install the CWM/RA have a file (/system/recovery-from-boot.p) that as "strra" told "reflashing stock recovery whenever you boot into android"!
What you have to solve:
Open the Terminal Emulator inside the tablet and do:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
cd /system
mv recovery-from-boot.p recovery-from-boot.p-BKP
[CODE]
Copy "recovery_thor17_403.img" the (is inside the nvflash-A500.zip from the original jm77 thread), open a CMD in your laptop/PC and do
[CODE]
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery_thor17_403.img
That's it! Now we have the RA Recovery!
Don't make a mistake: I'm a completly noob! All I have done was used the all information in this order:
- Installed the ICS from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524736
- Rooted using:

As our frind "strra" told: "it's because you didn't delete recovery-from-boot.p from /system and it's reflashing stock recovery whenever you boot into android".
Thank you so much you incredible work blackthund3r. I used another hands-on guide to get root, but your ICSRoot is so far easer!
