[Q] i have tried everything!!!! - EVO Shift 4G General

I perm rooted my shift and would like to install cm7 rom
But I can't get into recovery to do nandroid etc...because I get stuck on the htc screen.
I don't have my laptop anymore so I am using terminal emulator.
I have PC36IMG.zip & recovery.img in root of sdcard.
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
I get image not found if flash_image is in sdcard root
But I get scannning error if the flash_image is in system/bin..
I have search google etc...
Can I get some help please???

If you're perm rooted already, just download rom manager from the market and use it to flash recovery.

Thx for replying..I have tried that..I still get stuck on the htc screen...
I actually got terminal emulator to pick up the recovery.img
When I type
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
I now get the blank line
But its telling me reboot is not permitted.

Try quickboot from market
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

Thx For replying and I have tried quickboot as well...
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Then I opened quickboot in tap recovery and I still got stuck on the htc screen...
I guess the question is why is this happenning?
I am perm rooted with visionary that's the only thing I have done.

Never give up!!!
I have fixed the problem..I went Into rom manager re install clockwork
Than boot recovery with quickboot and I got into recovery mode.
What I have realize is that every situation is different and just have to read and try to figure it out safely on your on!!!
But I have read quickboot works and it did for me...thx!!!!

Uninstall clockworkmod and return to stock recovery

sending my phone back into google, have frf91 back. need to remove clockworkmod now and install the stock recovery. googled it but no help with the current frf91, unless you can use the original shipping recovery image with it? also do you think clockworkmod might cause any concerns when they receive it if i cant figure it out? bootloader is not unlocked.
So, for some reason, I couldn't find a guide on xda...I know I saw one here...
Anyways, here you go:
http://androidspin.com/2010/05/06/guide-unrooting-your-nexus-one-its-like-it-never-happened-almost/
is there an easier way to do this if you used Rom Manager?
Nope, I don't think it's possible to flash a recovery with a recovery...(edit: there is no option in Rom Manager to select a specific recovery.img)
You might be able to do use the flash_image binary.
If you have adb setup, use: (you must have the recovery.img in the root of your sd card)
Code:
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Is that true for the paid Rom Manager version as well?

I second this. This is how i got the stock recovery back onto my device.
im not familiar with adb setup, is it hard to install/use? im getting frustrated trying to get it back to stock. do you think htc will care i have clockwork mod as my recovery? bootloader isnt unlocked.

That mean your machine not yet rooted, go to the wiki page, or search 1-click rooted, that is a post link on wiki page, title is something like root without unlocking, details instructions on and shell
thanks i just 1 click rooted real quick. i have the recovery file on my sd card but now it says not found. its recovery.img like it asks for.

Why are you trying to get rid of clockwork when you weren't rooted and couldt have installed it in the first place.
booted into recovery and found out one of my previous attempts must have worked because i have the stock recovery back now. thanks for all the help guys!

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.

clockwork recovery not working after root

i rooted my htc my4g today using gfree and it says s-off and will let me flash it in rom manager. but it will not let me make a back up or reboot into recovery. what is wrong??
What happens when you select the 'reboot into recovery' option in ROM Manager?
it just goes to the white my touch screen and sticks...nothing at all
Are you getting any errors in ROM Manager when flashing the recovery image? You're also absolutely sure the phone is rooted, correct? ROM Manager has to ask for root access to flash the recovery, and your bootloader should show S-OFF. Those are both ways to tell if you're perm-rooted.
Try downloading the Terminal Emulator from the market [https://market.android.com/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en] and type "su" the dollar sign should change to a pound sign.
then type "reboot recovery" then the enter button.
should looks like this
Code:
$ su
# reboot recovery
and see what happens.
it just says not permited
did you reroot with VISIONary after you did the s-off process?
you have to do that to make the root stick.

But i have a problem, i need to get a custom ROM on it.
so far:
1. Would not accept sim unlock code
1. Rooted it once
2. used RUU_Click_Orange_UK_1.67.61.43_release_signed_NoDriver becouse it was needed to accept the simunlock code
3. Lost root, rooted it again with Universal root becouse old method didn't work anymore.
4. Everytime i tried to open recovery menu, it shows a picture with a orange triangle and the phone next to it
5. Installed ROM manager and put Clockwork, nothing.
6. Tried to back up, install rom from ROM Manager, still nothing =(
HELP D:!
Question: How do i fix it so i don't get this trinagle thing and i can go into the recovery menu
EDIT: I forgot to add, i THINK i made the SDCard a Goldcard, but i'm not sure... how do i cheak?

answer
1. That triangle is stock recovery which isn't useful for installing custom roms.
2. You need custom recovery.
3. You need adb.
4 You can install recovery like this one click http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950759 or manualy using cmd(adb needed).
If installing manualy: You need flash_image and recovery.img .
For cmd, commands are:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
exit
exit
Hope this was helpful for you
Sorry if you waited too much, I didn't have time to answer you.

I followed the instructions it didn't help, still same problem
no errors with the .exe, but no dice either
flashpermission denied with manual cmd
not enough memory on the device
in rom manager it says i have clockworkmod 5.0.2.0, might be the the problem that my phone is on orange or that it is S-on ? becouse i'm pretty sure it has custom recovery and it is rooted
i was able to root with this method before i used "RUU_Click_Orange_UK_1.67.61.43_release_signed_NoDriver" update
Now i am not able to use that root method, maybe it would have worked before i used it...
How do i downgrade or whatever from this RUU ?
Adb
Do you have adb drivers installed?
