Is your SD card mounted? It cant be mounted to your computer when running adb to it or you will get this error.

I have had that problem before if you have gotten to that step in the guide then you are already rooted you just need to flash the recovery. just mount your card and manually copy the file to the root of your sd card then unmount and use this code
Code:
cd /androidsdk/tools/
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd /sdcard/
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-1.5.2.img
wait for the # symbol to come back up and then type
Code:
reboot recovery
this is what i get when i try to do it manually
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd /sdcard/
cd /sdcard/
# flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img

# flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-1.5.2.img

i tried to put the v in front of the one because thats how it was listed but it still didn't work. does it help to say that i bought this three days ago?

You are getting that error because it can not find the specified file. Try this:
When your phone is plugged into your computer, mount your SD card. Then, using Windows Explorer (On your computer) look at your SD card and see if the Recovery IMG is there. If it is, this should work. If it is not, simply click and drag the 1.5.2 Recovery img onto your SD in the root folder (there isn't a folder called root, it simply implies the main/top level folder. The img should not be in any subfolders). Once the Recovery img is on your SD card, then on your phone unmount the SD card, and try your commands again.
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(this is were my problem comes, i had tons before this but figured it out and now im stuck here, i know its in the same folder as the recovery file and the whole process was fine, i was excited haha but then it gets here and no image found. wth. anybody? sry i been postin alot
Hi everyone,
I am kind of stuck with getting a custom ROM on my HTC Magic 32B (spl:1.33.0013 radio:2.22.28.25 os:2.2.1ota)
I cant flash custom recovery...or anything else
Here´s what happend so far:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939749
Hope someone can help
There was another person that I was working with having the same problem. For whatever reason we couldn't get the custom recovery to stick no matter what we tried and we ended up stopping with him trying to downgrade to root. I'm not sure where he got. You can try using "flash_image" from terminal, but it probably won't help. Download the attached "Flash_image.zip", unzip the file, and put in on the root of your SD card. Then open up terminal on the phone and type the following hitting enter at the end of each line:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/*name of recovery*.img
reboot recovery
Thanks for your instructions...but it did not work for me.
I kind of gave up on getting my Magic flashed.
Did you check to see if there are any scripts that will override the recovery on closure?
Do this:
Pull out the battery when you execution of the flash_image command has succeeded.
This way you can avoid any scripts being executed on turn-off.
Now try to see if you can get the custom recovery to work!
Im hoping to get some help to get a theme installed on my phone.
It is rooted successfully, busybox is installed successfully also.
Im trying to put the Minimal Matte theme on my phone, but no success. Actually, I managed to make my Contacts disappear...
So, I would greatly appreciate help! I don't know why the adb commands are not working that are given here:
Code:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
adb push DialerTabActivity.apk /system/app/
adb push Settings.apk /system/app/
adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/
adb push twframework-res.apk /system/framework/
If I try it like that, the mounting does not work cuz it says "not permitted". So then I try like this and I get this. So it is not working. How do I fix this and how do I get the theme into my phone? Thank you for help,
Here's what I tried:
Code:
c:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
# push Contacts.apk /system/app/
push Contacts.apk /system/app/
push: not found
#
Hey Polar, your commands when you're saying "push Contacts.apk /system/app/" is actually running inside the adb shell.
To do what you did, try this:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
exit
exit
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
Let me know if this works!
Also, if you downloaded version 1.3, you can always use the automated bat file! Or did that fail for you too?
Please note that your phone must be rooted! Your phone is rooted right?

Im very new to all this, so I'd like to learn the tricks manually so I have a better understanding.

As stated in the first post, it is rooted and busybox is installed. Now..let me try your tips. I will report back.
Hmm..still facing the "permission denied" with these commands:
Code:
c:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
# exit
exit
$ exit
exit
c:\>adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
failed to copy 'Contacts.apk' to '/system/app//Contacts.apk': Permission denied
Okay, let's try it with a different partition used to remount. Try this out
Code:
adb kill server
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
If this doesn't work, try rebooting your phone and trying again.
I hope this works, cause I only have 21 minutes left on my laptop battery life

Tried this, but it seems I have to reboot since it did not work.
It does not let me use "adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system" when I try it. Only when I do the "su" first and then try that...
Now let me try again after reboot.
Still no dice...
Code:
c:\>adb shell
$ su
su
# mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
# exit
exit
$ exit
exit
c:\>adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
failed to copy 'Contacts.apk' to '/system/app//Contacts.apk': Permission denied
Okay here are a couple things I've noticed before in the past.
1. The phone could "successfully" be rooted, but not actually work. In this case it's best to re-root your phone. The superoneclick method works well.
2. Maybe adb is just fussing over nothing, so you could try this:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
exit
exit
adb push Contacts.apk /sdcard/
adb push /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/
My primary guess though is that rooting isn't working properly.

Well, when I go and click the superuser app and all, I can see stuff happening there. Also, it has asked for permission before for adb when I first used it and I gave it. Now it appears on the list there...so it seems to be working correctly, no? And I did it with the superoneclick and it ran through it smoothly as ever. Now let me try if adb is being fussy.
Now what the heck... It pushed the Contacts.apk on the sdcard, but then this...
Code:
c:\>adb push Contacts.apk /sdcard/
3170 KB/s (3284674 bytes in 1.011s)
c:\>adb push /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/
cannot stat '/sdcard/Contacts.apk': No such file or directory
And I can clearly see the file in the sdcard...

ADB is being truly fussy! Do you have root explorer? Here is my best guess for you. Move the Contacts.apk to the /system/app/ folder manually with Root Explorer, then follow this guide to give the app root permissions:

Have to go find Root Explorer.

Root explorer is a paid app. But maybe ES File Manager or Astro File Manager will give you root capabilities too!
I tried this to go there with root explorer, gave the right permissions..copied the file and navigated to system/apps. Hit paste..and it tells me "not enough space". What to do now? Getting a little desperate here.

There you go! That's the problem. First check this, does Contacts.apk already exist in /system/app/? If so, use these codes:
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl16 /system
exit
exit
adb rm /system/app/Contacts.apk
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/
Repeat for each apk file you want to copy over.
Or alternatively you could just use root explorer, delete Contacts.apk and then move over your Contacts.apk from the sdcard. OR You can uninstall some apps and give yourself some available memory in your /system/app/ folder.
You'll need at least 15mb of free space in /system/app/

I will go try these, starting from the adb commands. If I finally get this all to work and I have your pretty theme running, we need to go have a beer you and I. For all the help you've given me today.

No problem~! Haha, yes we do But I think Finland is far from Canada!
I'm hoping it works for you!
It's not looking good still... *sigh* Still says not enough space. I tried both adb and manual with the same results. What can I do?

If you check settings -> SD card and storage. How much memory does it say you have? If you have less then 10mb either move some apps to the sd card or uninstall some!
