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.

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

Hi all!
I have a big problem...
My Hero wan't boot so I go in the Recovery Console.
But if i want to restore a Backup this message appears:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
E: Can't mount SDCARD:
I tried several SDCARDs... same message.
I've wiped all several times. Reformat the SDCARD...
Access via ADB brings:
error: device not found
Fastboot mode is possible... but
fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
in the konsole brings: "downloading 'boot.img'... FAILED (remote: not allow)"...
What can i do?
This might help?.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681583
then go to .....
http://android.modaco.com/content-page/299174/no-adb-no-sd/page/80/
Thanks for the links...
I could re-flash the T-Mobile ROM (2.73.111.26)... The Hero starts and now it works with Android 1.5 ...
I have access to the SDCARD ... but the USB Connectivity doesn't work...
No ADB and no storage Device in Windows...
"fastboot oem eraseconfig" doesn't work... think about the false HBOOT (HBOOT-1.76.0007)...
flashrec also doesn't work... there comes "Flash FAILED: could not run command"
Any ideas?
Had exactly the same.
Forget about the rom, it doesn't matter (i.e. flash whatever you like).
You already got your SD card support back, for the rest you need to update the SPL (search for an unlocked version for your hero, double-check because it can _really_ brick your device if this fails). After that fastboot oem eraseconfig works and your usb is back to normal.
Did that yesterday, worked like a charm and actually makes sense (unlike other suggestions like "reflash N times", "unplug and replug usb or change the cable" and "send in for service"). Your USB is fine (as seen in fastboot), it's just not working after your kernel booted -> Due to messed up configuration parameters in the flash area. Basically the kernel commandline, if you will..
Wich version of SPL I do you flash?
How do you flash it? Like...
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip SPL_image.zip
in the fastboot konsole?
RecoveryConsole is not useable to me... My Hero is not rooted anymore... And it seems to be very difficult to get root again :-/
What do you mean by?

According to BTDAGs guide, flashing 2.73.61.5 should enable you to use flashrec to do the custom recovery again.
[solved] NEED HELP! Bricked? No SDcard in Recovery - no Restore - no adb
Thanks for your help. I have solved the problems...
- first I flashed the T-Mobile D ROM like described in the Link (extract rom.zip and flash)
http://android.modaco.com/content-page/299174/no-adb-no-sd/page/80/
- then I have detected, that flashrec does'nt work on the ROM
- then I created a GOLD Card
- with this I flashed in the OEM fastboot Mode (described here) the HTC Update ROM (_HTC_Hero_RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe)
- then flashrec was working and I was able to flash a Recovery Image
- in the Recovery Console I flashed the unlocked Modaco SPL (from here)
- now it was possible to erase the config, which locked the USB after Kernel Boot (fastboot oem eraseconfig)
- after that I restored the last Nandroid Backup...
- Now I'm happy
Re: NEED HELP! Bricked? No SDcard in Recovery - no Restore - no adb

Hello!
Yesterday I found myself in a very terrible situation. I spend about 6-7 hours...
It just happened that I deleted the recovery (through fastboot), and before that deleted firmware of the phone. That is, there remained only mode HBOOT (fastboot). Around the internet and google there are no guides on how to return
recovery by the alternative methods or how to flash a new ROM through
fastboot.
Thats why i want to present to you my little guide... Coz i think it will be very useful for some ppls like me with the same trouble.
So, if you're in a situation where you do not have Recovery, and the phone is not started in boot ROM then first try a standard way to flash a new Recovery through fastboot mode
Standart way of flashing new recovery via fastboot
1.Connect your phone with PC via USB and power off your phone (if it up).
2.Than start up in fastboot mode - (in my situation, fastboot mode is CAMERA+POWER, then button "send") in all other (as i know) this is starting the phone while pressing button BACK.
3.Open -> Start->Run->cmd (open command prompt in windows*) and write:
Code:
fastboot devices
Than you must see your device serial number like this:
Code:
H94XTGAMSHDY
and should say "fastboot".
If all right - go next. If not - check fastboot mode (is on?) and USB cable.
4.Than change directory via cmd to where you have saved your recovery image (NEW recovery.img !!! ALWAYS CHECK MD5 SUM)
5. Than type this :
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img [enter]
(while you are stay in the same dir where you saved recovery.img)
(if you got some error about previously version or smth like this you can try to use this: fastboot erase recovery and only than try to flash new recovery from step №5)
6.Check your phone's display, as recovery is being sent and flashed to your device. And check your command prompt/shell to make sure the process is over.
7.Reboot into recovery by holding Home and Power (before it power off device).
Thats all! You can use any recovery, all what you like. I use Amon_RA's recovery.
IF WHILE FLASHING YOU GOT :
Code:
sending 'recovery' <4594kb>... OKAY [ 1.734s]
writing 'recovery'... INFOsignature checking...
FAILED <remote: signature verigy fail>
finished. total time: 3.125
Use next steps (my Alternative method)
And IF you can't flash recovery by this method it is not big trouble as you think now
Alternative way of BOOTING new recovery via fastboot checked and founded by me
Everything here is much easier and faster!
Do not be scared as I did it yesterday
Only what you need it :
Change directory via cmd to where you have saved your recovery image (NEW recovery.img !!! ALWAYS CHECK MD5 SUM)
And than TYPE:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery recovery.img
And your phone will be rebooted about 2 seconds in RECOVERY MODE. Yes!
After this you can use your old Nand Back up (restore it) and start up your old ROM. Or you can wipe all and try to flash new ROM and many operations what you can use via recovery. When you will get working ROM and flash it - you can flash recovery via adb. Or Use Rom Manager (Not recommended!)
Why we use this method? Because if you got error while flashing - FAILED <remote: signature verigy fail> you CAN'T FLASH ANY .img. Why? I Don't know, i hope some android guru's help us with it theory
(ALL AFTER THIS LINE ALL TEXT COPYED FROM WIKI.CYANOGEN.COM CREDITS GOES TO Cyanogen. Thx you, god)
If you want to flash recovery via adb (using power on phone with working firmware) (This method working 100% but strongly need working phone with working ROM)
Working only with HTC DREAM (G1) - Attention.
adb method by cyanogen version
Restoring the custom recovery image
Download the flash_image tool (HERE LINK
Next, place the file on your desktop
Change the directory to where "flash_image" is located, e.g. in Windows: cd C:\<path-to-flash_image-location>, in Linux: cd /home/USERNAME/path/to/flash_image on a Mac: cd /Users/USERNAME/path/to/flash_image)
IMPORTANT: Turn on USB debugging. Settings -> Applications -> Development -> check the box "USB Debugging"
Open up and adb shell
With your phone booted, type the following command
s:
Code:
adb root
This will start ADB as root, or notify if it is already running as root.
Code:
adb remount
This will mount the system partition (/system) as writable, allowing the following
Code:
adb push flash_image /system/bin
This will send the flash_image script into the /system/bin, so we can use it from within the shell
Code:
adb shell chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
Finally, change the permissions of the script to allow it to perform the desired action.
Now that the script is installed, we are ready to proceed with flashing the custom recovery, saved on the root of the SD card earlier:
Code:
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
P.S. If you want i can post here method by flashing original 1.6 ADP Rom via fastboot (but as i think it is on htc dev web... But i can post here cut version of this - coz original version have many not needed things.)

That's what I was thinking... Seems almost pointless for a guide since there's instructions how to fastboot on every recovery thread.
Either way, nicely written guide. Someone will probably find this useful.

With a desire this is quite different, as it has an activated nand flash protection (s-on), so no fastboot flash recovery here. Although this should prevent you from not having a recovery at all...
* note: I don't have a desire (yet) so this is speculation *
Best is probably something similar to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=750852
I guess if you get the correct PB99IMG.zip for exactly your device/brand you will not need a goldcard, so don't follow the howto blindly (it is for the newer SLCD versions, but the basics will still be applicable to AMOLED devices). Best would be a PB99IMG.zip that still has a hboot version < 0.92, otherwise you will need to downgrade to root. If you already have 0.92, then just take the newest image, as older ones are normally not flashable.
After step 7 of the howto, you are either done, or you will need to find instructions to downgrade if you want to root.
As soon as you have a working system, with a 0.8* hboot you can just use unrevoked to root and flash a custom recovery.
Enough OT... @ANtiHazarD: Very useful overview. Thanks.
WAY WAY WAY more complicated than it should be...
It is a simple matter of:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Did you read everything before you flashed the 1.33.0013d SPL?
If yes, you would have noticed, that this SPL is not able to flash a recovery or radio using fastboot. You have to flash the orange-...nbh file to get back a full engineering SPL, but you will loose everything you have installed on the phone ...

Don't use RC29.. its once of the most annoying NBH files to need to re-root for the dream.
If you have 1.33.0013d note the orange.nbh posted on the new radio OP post: here

If you find yourself stuck without recovery!!
Dream
1) Download: orange-1.58.73.2.nbh (MD5: aca4dee0c1ece7e9773f2ecbdfbba7c0) (mirror)
2) enter fastboot and run 'fastboot flash nbh orange-1.58.73.2.nbh'
3) wait for the entire nbh to flash
4) boot into the bootloader again (it will be an engineering SPL 1.42.2000)
5) You can now re-flash the radio/hboot/recovery via fastboot that you wish to have installed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
basically if you intend to still use the new radio; after installing 1.58.73.2 you can reboot-bootloader; and use my fastboot installation steps at the top of that post
You can do this without a goldcard because I bypass various checks in 1.33.0013d
(It will let you install any other signed NBH but that will still wipe the phone completely; and if it fails to flash cleanly it will leave you without an engineering SPL thus make it harder to make android go again)
hey i tried to flash the MTD too and now i keep getting "E:cant open CACHE:recovery/log" when i go into recovery .

I am hanging at booting while trying to do this any ideas?
adb shows my device is offline. I reinstalled the drivers and updated the sdk.
The only way my cpu will detect it is if it in recovery, It wont detect at fastboot or hboot. Im stuck at the green htc screen. My device wont boot up. Im trying to push system.img.
can any1 help
Do you have debug enabled in settings > applications?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using Tapatalk
as long as you can see it in recovery you can push system.img, but if you are looking to flash it you need to use the fastboot binary(sorry no link) and use fastboot flash system system.img
@g_grey
I understand what you are trying to say. But his phone is listed as offline in recovery mode. How would he go about on getting adb to recognize his phone. It would his phone id but after that it would say offline. And where do you find these binaries?
Phone: T-Mobile G2/Vision Rooted
Rom: Latest Cyanogen
Recovery: CWM waiting for Amon_RA
binaries are found with google(pretty sure it's somewhere in with the other android dev stuff), then just put the binary with your adb binary(sdk/tools) and if it is being seen as offline then the recovery he is using doesn't support adb in which case not really sure.
@OP
if you have clockwork installed i believe there is an option to mount sdcard as you would from the os, then it should appear as a drive on your comp and you can copy files over.
why are you trying to push system.img? what end result are you aiming for?
Thanks I found it right after I posted. His problem is he's stuck at htc screen and s-on so might push system.img and/or userdata.img. can't do anything else. Tried to flash PC10img but says older version yadda yadda. Any suggestions.
Phone: T-Mobile G2/Vision Rooted
Rom: Latest Cyanogen
Recovery: CWM waiting for Amon_RA
use the recover from semi brick thread then, didn't know he was with s-on at this point(doh!)
@g_grey
That's what I say. Just downloaded the fastboot binary and hopefully we get some progress
Phone: T-Mobile G2/Vision Rooted

did you come up with a solution? I can get into recovery mode. tried appling and update.zip for both the original and latest version. I have tried factory reset. I can get the serial number with adb devices but it says offline. I had found a solution where I could put the PC10IMG.zip but it says its an older version. but I found via 14344-how-to-fix-a-bricked-g2-or-root-new-g2s-with-kernel-fix pm cyanogenmod that I could push a new misc.img which would get ride of that error message. but I have to be able to use the adb push and/or adb shell.
Hello all,
I have been using the super one click method to root my HTC Magic Saphhire 32A.
It works well so far albeit need to alter some SU files in the program. Running of terminal emulator with the command prompt SU confirmed that I have the superuser rights.
Now the problem is whenever I use ROM manager to reboot in recovery, the phone restart, HTC logo shows, then the next screen I see is a big asterisk and a phone image, after this I pressed Home + power, the screen manage to switch to Android system recovery utility, BUT with only 3 options:
1) Reboot system now
2) Apply sdcard:update.zip
3) Wipe data/factory reset
And in the end of the screen, there is one line highlighted in red: E: can’t open /cache/recovery/command
After the phone been rebooted, I switched off the phone. And Pressed vol - with power button, same issue happen too with the asterisk sign shows on the screen. After unrooting it, the phone recovery mode are back to normal with the 3 androids in skates appear on the screen.
Have anyone face the same problem? Any ways to sort this out? I am planning to back up my stock ROM, and wanted to try out some cyanogenmod ROM. I tried Googled and read lots of forum post but left without a solution. Any helps are appreciated! Cheers!
p/s: I am a noob in Android OS. XD

Did you flash custom recovery with ROM manager? Or you just rooted the phone with 1 click method?
Sorry for the late reply. I am just back from overseas business trips. I used Clockmod ROM Manager and did a backup, tried reboot in recovery, and the phone rebooted itself but stuck at the HTC logo now.
I can confirm that the phone is rooted with super user permission.
The reason being the phone didn't manage to get into recovery mode might be due to the missing recovery.img in the phone. Pushing the img file to phone through Clockmod didn't work apparently, so I tried command prompt from PC fastboot flash recovery c:\recoveryxyz.img. It failed too with an error remote failed.
I tried using the terminal emulator in the phone and tried pushing the recovery image again and it didn't happen too. Can some one please help? Cheers!
Download ROM manager and you have option that says install custom recovery it will install Clockwork, and you have flash alternative recovery it installs amon ra's recovery i prefer most
Will try it tonight and revert for the result. Cheers!
I have tried flashing alternate ROM through ROM manager and for once it managed to boot into recovery mode. BUT the device hang right after that, I can't select any of the options and have to pull the battery out to force shutdown.

i just tried the method and I am stuck at FlashRec backup recovery image step.
I clicked on backup recovery image, but there is a command prompt that says:" backup FAILED: Could not run command.
FYI, I am running on Android 1.5. On the edge of giving up rooting and loading a custom ROM now and without a MARKET apps on the phone.

Did you try terminal emulator app?
And commands that i gave you?
yes mate, have tried flash_image recovery command from the terminal app and tries to restart in recovery without any result.
I have did a few research and read up and found out that I am stuck with the south east asia Magic model without the google based support, with no market apps and it is perfected SPL.
Quite upset by it. LOL!
