Hi everyone, I have a little problem i don't know why my magic doesn't want to enter in recovery mode (boot while holding HOME)
I do it before, but now doesn't want it
Can somebody tell me why or want i can do?
tnks a lot
Your probably going to have to reflash the recovery. Can you still get into fastboot (back+power)?
tnks for answer and you have right
I do this and i can enter again in recovery mode
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your G1 via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
#mount -a (this can give back an error if you don't have an ext partition, don't worry about it and just proceed)
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0.img
tnks a lote

Well I need help. Last week when verizon was having probelms with service my friend thought that it was his phone. He got to messing with **** and now he cant load any roms. Im hoping someone can help. When he boots into recovery mood he no longer has the option to flash zip from sd. Also Nand backup is now missing so he can not backup to a restore point. the only options he has is flash update reboot wipe cache and factory reset. I have heard of people losing root but with that would you even be able to boot by pressing power and the volume up key... he wont leave me alone about fixing his problem so any info someone could shed on the situation I would really appreciate... Thanks

Just redo Amons recovery. That should fix it.
Follow these steps: (Also found in Sticky section)
III: Flashing a Custom Recovery
Flashing a custom recovery will make your life easier when flashing ROMs in the future.
1. Download this file: Recovery.zip
2. Extract file contents to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK.
3. Open up a command prompt and go to your tools directory, and execute these commands:
* 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
4. Success! You now have a recovery partition installed on your phone. You can access it by running "adb shell reboot recovery" or by powering off your phone, holding "Volume Up + Power On"
Once you do this...power down... then volume up + end = recovery..
The behavior of the recovery boot that you are describing is an HTC recovery; it is not Amon_RA. Amon_RA didn't change, it got replaced.
That strongly suggests that "your friend" re-flashed an HTC ROM onto the phone, probably using a HBOOT method (using a "PB00IMG.ZIP" file).

droidkevlar assumes here that what got flashed was the HTC Root PB00IMG.ZIP file.
For the sake of "your friend who won't leave you alone", I hope droidkevlar is correct; otherwise your friend has joined the leak club.
Good luck,

or you could do it from the PC with a single command. Put the phone into FASTBOOT mode (power on phone holding down both Send+End/Power), and then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img
The md5sum of Amon_RA v1.6.2 for the Eris is e3932991f097993602af3c7a4b61a4f8
You can check to see if fastboot is communicating with the phone by using the command "fastboot devices". (Note that if running fastboot from Linux, fastboot needs to be run as root to access the USB device).

Hi,
last year, I rooted my Hero, then I bought a Desire. But now my girlfriend would like to use my Hero. So I took my rooted Hero and tried to reflash a new rom, but on one way or another, it keeps failing.
I tried to re-install a new recovery, but accidentaly chose CDMA-hero instead of GSM-hero. Now I can't get into a recovery. When I try to boot the phone, while holding Home button, I only get the HERO-logo... I can get into fastboot though.
I remember I just installed a rooted stock rom: HTC Generic 2.73.405.66. Now I'm reading that this rom results in troubles installing a recovery. I tried EVERYTHING:
- flashrec: can't backup my image, can't flash a recovery (button greyed out)
- tried to downgrade to 2.73.405.5 as suggested on the homepage of flashrec
- tried the guide on modaco: http://android.modaco.com/content/h...ng-the-patched-recovery-image-on-your-device/
My situation is now: Hero is rooted, but my Hero doesn't have a recovery image...and I really need one to flash a custom rom on it...
Can anyone help me please?
Greetings,
Why not try this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4898505&postcount=1
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
Change to this on my gsm hero today and easy enough to do via adb.
If above doesn't work. Just downgrade to 2.73.405.5 - use the goldcard method in my guide in my sig. Simple.

euhm, the problem is, that I even can't get into recovery since it crashes and keeps showing the HERO-logo... and I already said that I can't downgrade, the process returns an error 'wrong client id' or something... I don't need the goldcard since my Hero is unbranded.

Thanks for the response.
I Hold Back+Power or Camera+Power. In any way I boot the Dream always go in Recovery Mode.
Thanks again for Your Help.

Try to reflash radio and SPL but be careful. I can't give you warranty that you will not broke your phone completely. You have damaged data in ROM (radio & SPL) and I think that reflashing it should help you but also can damage it completly (but I think that it shouldn't happen). The risks increase fact - you must flash radio & spl from recovery but this method is strongly discouraged because of risks to broke phone (read topics about dangerSPL and why you shouldn't use recovery to flash it).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
Hi Gerdal,
Whitch version of Radios and SPL have I to reflash.
Which procedure can I follow ?
Thanks again, there are to many information and I understand that if we can chach procedure, sequence and version we can total brick the phone.
Regards
Pippapeppa
Radio - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640535
SPL - in attachments
Flash RADIO, reboot, wait - phone will reboot automatically to recovery, flash SPL, reboot and again wait before phone automatically rebot to recovery. If everything goes correct you can reboot and try to boot in fastboot.
Hi Gerdal,
I just done the two updated without errors.
I didn't resolve The dream start only in recovery mode .
I am desperate
I don't understand this thing, if I run by PC with Dream connected by USB the command:
C:\Temp\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb devices
I obtain:
List of devices attached
HT936NG00644 recovery
The devices is visisible and accesible by PC,
If I run:
C:\Temp\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices
Nothing is the response, I presume that the tool fastboot don't see the Dream.
Any Hel is appriacied
Regards Pippapeppa
fastboot devices will see phone only if phone is running in fastboot mode. Are you sure you pressing camera+power when you powering on phone? Can you try to flash any ROM in recovery, reboot (do not press any buttons) and try to boot to android? Maybe camera button is broken?
Actually I'm trying to find possibility to flash entire ROM (everything what is in nbh file) through recovery. This should repair everything. Maybe someone know what to do this and will write how to do that?

I haven't find any botton to switch off the Dream, the only way is reboot (HOME+BACK or PHONE+POWER+MENU). So immediatly after I press HOME+bACK I press CAMERA+POWER. Should be that the mapping of the keys are not correct ?
How can perform "Can you try to flash any ROM in recovery", I understood that this operation should be only in fastmode. If I can do it and You can tell me how should be a good way.
Thanks again
Pippapeppa
Which recovery are you using? Have you flashed once a custom recovery for example AmonRa Recovery or ClockWork recovery? If you have one of them you can flash any zip that contains ROM for example cyanogenmod. If you flash this and reboot, the phone should boot into this system. If not we need to find answer why it don't do that.
You are pressing rights buttons when you try to boot in fastboot so I don't understand why it don't works...
Sorry Gerdal I am a beginner on this space.
I explane you the context because I am very frustrated.
The device is of my collegues and I am test it for potential purchase. I have attempted to upgrade it to appreciate al the functionalities and I have done the trouble !
So I don't know which recovery I am using I know that the Dream has been rooted.
If You can be kind to explain me the major step to execute and the reference to the persion of files I will be grateful ... forever.
Thanks again

Hi Gerdal,

I have attempt to install and run this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9221440&postcount=39), but without result. seems the internal partition are all broke / unconfigured and any script on this partitation are unavailable.
Always the same behavior
Thanks for any help
Sorry but I can't help you. I don't understand why these ways don't work for you.

Have you tried installing new recovery via adb?
You can also try to format your sd-card again and if that doesn't work I will recommend you try installing new recovery or reinstalling your recovery as mentioned above.
Thanx for replying!

Here is commands, but can you see your device in adb when connected with usb. Can your phone get to the fastboot screen, I think it is power+vol down button.
Here is the commands you should try:
Via adb:
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
via fastboot menu as indicated:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Note: You should put the recovery.img in your root folder of the sd card(That is your main menu in your sd card). Also replace "recovery.img" with the name of the recovery img you want to install. The adb commands should be done with phone on as normal but connected to usb.
Example: flash_image recovery /sdcard/Maverix2b.img
Good luck.

hi,
one of our members in and-roid.ir is facing a strange problem... his phone is s-off and recovery v.3 was flashed.
he was installing a rom and suddenly there was an error in the installation... he tried to enter recovery and restore a back up but when trying to enter recovery from bootloader instead of entering recovery mode it will enter fastboot mode...
he flashed recovery again but no luck...
suddenly when usb was plugged he entered recovery mode... he tried again with usb unplugged and couldn't enter recovery mode...
so after entering recovery mode with usb plugged memory card won't mount... he tried to manually mount it and still no luck...
any ideas what's the problem?and how to trouble shoot it?
any clues at all?
Reflash the misc partition. (you can see how to do this in the root HBOOT 1.00 thread) Or you can boot into recovery...
Go to fastboot
put the custom-recovery.img in your android-sdk/tools folder
fastboot boot (drag and drop recovery.img into cmd or terminal) press enter
so i have to do following commands? correct?
Code:
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:
Code:
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:
Code:
chmod 755 /data/local/flash_image
...and backup your current misc partition:
Code:
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
