Rogers Recovery Img

Can anyone help me out here. I need the stock recovery.img, or one that is compatible with the Rogers 2.2.1 update "Streak_339_14896_32.pkg"
Need to return a defective unit that has Steves Rom on it and id like to return it to stock first for warranty reasons.
Please help
Bit confused about the MultiRecoveryFlasher too. Does this flash the recovery and the update.pkg all in one? So many ways to do things it becomes confusing for beginners. Any help is sincerely appreciated.

The WIKI is a great resource, check it out sometime.

So with this recovery and the original udate I should be able to flash my steak back to orig recovery and stock 2.2 with the repair tool the same way I went from that original rom to Steve's 1.9.0?

Moving to General

Firstly, sorry for posting in the wrong section. First time for that.
Secondly, can anyone answer my question in regards to using the QDL Tool to flash the stock recovery.img that corresponds to Rogers official 2.2.1 update?
Or, can I just flash the recovery.img in fastboot mode and then apply the official update via ClockWork?
Need to get rid of clockwork too though so Ive got myself all confused
The multirecoveryflasher seems like it would do everything I need, but it doesn't include the img file I need for Rogers. Unless one of the ones in there is compatible??
Man, I wish I paid more attention in info tech in school

I don't think you can flash a stock recovery with cwm. Use multi recovery flasher.

@ eSZee,
Im inclined to think that you are right about that. My only concern was that none of the options in the multirecoveryflasher are what I need. I have the official rogers recovery img and the official Rogers update pkg, so I need to know if I can somehow add them to the program or not. Or, alternatively, can I just use one of the existing options in the program and then update the rom in the stock recovery by choosing the Rogers update pkg? Sooooooo confused. Anyway, ive got to get it figured out as I only have a certain number of days to ship the unit back, otherwise they charge you full price for it.
To complicate things futher.....the screen is F'ed so I cant make anything out on it. I can see the right side of the screen....a bit. Not ideal since in landscape mode everything is listed on the left. Uggghhhhh!

rename the rogers img update.pkg and pop it on the root of your sd.
In fastboot, flash the recovery menitoned in Manii's post above.
the command should be:
fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
or similar. Then:
fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Hold in both the up and down volume keys to enter recovery and update from sd card. I think its the 2nd option, but i'm sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong.

Ok got the correct recovery img flashed no problem. Now my question is of a more "blind" advise type. I can boot into recovery mode. Generally when you do so the option to "update vie update.pkg" or whatever is already highlighted and you just go ahead and push the camera button. Now this is where I need help. Since my screen is basically a blur I need to know how many times to push the up or down volume keys to navigate to the correct option to select "install:update.pkg", and then again how many times to get to the update.pkg in the following screen. If I can get this info from someone still running a stock recovery img I can finish, and ship this baby back for warranty without worry.
Pllllleeeeaaaaaseeeeee someone help me out.

Ok so I found some info that basically says what order to push what buttons and I think that ive successfully returned my phone to stock.
My new question.....Is there any way short of turning on the device and checking in the settings to see the "about phone" info? I cannot see any of it to be sure I was successful. Anyway to hook it up to the computer to gain this info?

Turn on your phone and check. After that restart into recovery and reset to factory defaults. Better safe than sorry.

I might be in a similar situation, I have a Streak running Streakdroid 1.8.1 that I nandroid-flashed back to the original v2.2 baseband GAUSB1A13800 build 10688 (the version that is installed when you use QDLTool)
I want to get my Streak as close to stock as possible for waranty issues (ear speaker is crackling / dieing).
Will flashing the above recovery.img bring me to the original Rogers baseband ? I don't have any nandroid bkp of v1.6 because it was impossible to install CWR or Streakmod R on that version (see all my old post on the topic).
Alternatively, if anyone has a nandroid backup if their Rogers system with Streak_339_14896_32.pkg , that would also be appreciated ;-)

I doubt you'll be able to find the stock 1.6 ROM. But, you can put the Rogers 2.2 update on there. That's what I've done twice now and have no issues from Rogers. It is the 339 ROM, and I'm quite certain you can find it in Manii's index of ROMs. Just search it with google - index of manii 339. Should be your first hit. Good luck. At least you don't have to do it without being able to see the screen.

Please, help a n00b. I think I broke my Nexus S 4G

Let me first start off by saying that I am on a Mac.
I used these directions to get my phone unlocked and get ClockworkMod Recovery or whatever running on my Nexus S 4G.
I then loaded Cynogen onto my SD card, booted into Clockwork, wiped my phone, then tried to install Cynogen. It failed- it couldn't install boot.img or something.
Now, when I try to boot up my phone, it just shows the Google logo with the unlocked icon below it. It never successfully boots. I can still get into Clockwork Recovery, but below every menu section over the logo, it always shows some error like
Code:
E: failed to something something /cache
Can you guys please, PLEASE instruct me on how to get my phone working normally? I don't need it unlocked, just running the stock OS.
Anyone who can successfully help me do this on a Mac will receive a nice PayPal donation if they wish.
Thank you so much in advance.
And yeah, I know I shouldn't have been attempting this because I am such a n00b.

What version of CWM did you flash?

Pm me and we will use a chat service (aim, yahoo messenger) and I will walk u through it.

My suggestion of what I would do is this. Find a windows computer somehow. Go to the development section and look for the sticky about rooting the ns4g. Look for the link to flash the d720 back to stock. Download all those files to a flash drive. Take the drive to the windows computer and set things up then flash the phone back to out of the box stock.
Then you can go back to the Mac and do the root and 3024 cwm recovery and rename the sh file that puts stock recovery back in at boot time. After all this you can do what you want but I would suggest staying with the stock experience. This might be extreme to fix this but in my opinion, I wouldn't waste time trying to fix it, especially since you are new to this. It's like computers, yeah you could try to fix it but you could be opening a can of worms. It might take less wasted time putting it back to complete stock instead of f-ing around trying to figure out what happened and how to fix it. You could take hours trying to fix an install of windows that keeps falling on it's face, or you could format and install windows fresh and new in maybe thirty minutes. Which is easier?

CM7 will not work at the moment because it still uses 2.3.3, go find instructions for a 2.3.4 Nandroid. if you want though,i heard that supeaosp works on a ns4g.

Dude, you can't flash regular Nexus S ROMs on the Nexus S 4G.
Reflash the latest clockwork recovery.
Use fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then...
Go to recovery, mount the USB storage, and put this zip on the usb storage:ROM
Go to recovery and flash that zip

here's the recovery that works. cwm and stock. How many times is this going to happen with new people and this phone in this forum section before a new subsection is made? We are going to be putting out a lot of these unnecessary fires with people making first time mistakes until something is done so as to not confuse them. Some don't realize that there are different versions of the same phone that aren't necessarily compatible with each other.
The way things are set up now, it isn't making this problem go away. I think that a different method should be tried if the current one isn't working too well. I'm flogging a dead horse now......

I'm looking to root my new NS4G as well -- and do it right the first time. On a Mac as well.
If the similarly-suited OP had issues I'm a bit more skeptical about my effort.
A separate forum might be necessary so people with the D720 hardware don't have near-brick experiences.

[Q] A sort of newbie query but...

Hi there,
I had been umming and arring about rooting and installing a new ROM one of my familys HTC Heroes for some time now and finally after reading lots of "How to's" on lots of different forums I decided to take the plunge and give it a go using the guide on here.
Both my wifes phone and my sons phone are sim unlocked Orange HTC Heros running 2.1-Update 1.
Rooting it was easy. One press of a button and I was there. Its pretty much worked OK and I have sucessfully made three backups of the wifes Hero.
My main query and this is the bit I have not really been able to find much info about despite spending a day trawling through the forums looking for similar queries is this:
Having flashed my recovery image file, the first time I reboot I can get into the recovery mode just fine. From here I can make a backup of the current ROM after which the Hero reboots and goes back into the OS as it should.
If I then shut it down and reboot using the HOME key + POWER option It does not go into the recovery mode. I get the screen with an image of the phone next to a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it.
Using the advice from various forums whilst searching for further advice / hints I have left the phone for up to half an hour but it stays on this screen. The only way to get it out of this screen it to pull the battery.
If I then boot up the phone and reflash the recovery image, I can then get into the recovery mode once again but for ONE BOOT ONLY.
I have tried AmonRA Revcovery v1.7.01. and also the Clockwork Recovery 2.5.0.7 images and both produce the same results. I have tried flashing the images via ROM Manager and also via Android Terminal Emulator
My question is this: Do I have to flash the recovery image EVERY time I want to open the recovery mode or is there something I have missed? At present I have held back from installing a new ROM in case I go past a point of no return where I brick the phone. Neither my wife or son would be too pleased despite my son wanting a better ROM on his.
Apologies for writing "War and Peace" but I wanted to make sure I had covered all I could and hope this is a) not a query already posted elswhere which I have missed b)posted in the right place. Apologies to any forum mods if its not.
Regards
Rhinestone.

hmm look on the unlokr.com or something like that. They use some simple passes and it's the way i did it. the on;y difference is that my phone wasn't blocked on a carrier...
1.there is a program that roots the hero's rom
2.after that i recommend installing clockwork recovery mode (it doesn't need signed zips)
3.if you don't feel safe doing this, i recommend to stop... I know that the 2.1 rom is boring but you can end up with a bricked phone after this...

The official 2.1 update has a script that reflashes the stock recovery every time the phone is shut down.
Hunt about for a modified 2.1 rom, all of them have had that script removed. I'm not a huge fan of sense now, but when I did use it, I found villainrom to be a good 2.1 sense rom.

This, just flash a custom ROM and it will stick.

Hello,
Problem might be with rooting, possible it has not been rooted completely or anything messed up. You can try this for rooting.
http://unrevoked.com/
If you are sure its rooted completely, then check out Superuser apps, if its there, and you are rooted, if not then download terminal emulator and type "su" command, if its doesnt display any error then its rooted.
Other then this,
problem might be with the recovery images you are flashing, download droid explorer its a window application, its has an option of flashing recovery with one click, simply choose recovery image & flash it, clockmod recovery or amonr any of this you can get in xda.

Whats Wrong with my fone? someone please help

i hope im posting this in the right place, ive never really messed with forums before, but anyways
ive done everything there is to do to get a custom rom on my streak (StreakDroid) including the whole flash recovery, when i do that it all seems like its working, but when i go to where you are supposed to install the streakdroid (when you turn your phone on with both volumes ect) soo when i get the screen with the blue letters, its tottally different it says something like "insert a SD card containing an update file(/sdcard/update.pkg and the only choice it gives me is press up on the volume to turn device off. BTW i did already had the streakdroid on my sd card. someone please HELP me
if this helps i have a Dell Streak from AT&T
V 2.2
Baseband Ver. 2.6.32.9-perf
OEM Ver. GAUSB1A135331
Build 15697
Thanks

Sounds like this might help.
You may also want to read this.

i already know all of this, but thanks for trying, i cant root it eather, i forgot to mention, it keeps failing, and ive tryed all versions of oneclick

Do this - you do not need root to use that method and is you read the previous links I posted you will figure out how to use StreakMod Recovery even if you aren't rooted.

I got same problem when I installed custom rom at very first time from stock 2.2.
Do this if still can boot to stock rom..
1) Rooting with Gingerbreak.apk , this will work..
2) After rooting done, use R.E and change one file in the system as this file automatically blocked custom recovery when reboot so your problem happened... your DS5 still booted on stock recovery even already flashed StreakMod recovery...
Read this.
3) After modifying one system file then flash StreakMod recovery then you can continue....
Hope this can help you.

i tried that too, but like ive said when i first made this post, when i go into streakmode (when i turn it on with both volume bottons ect) and go into mode after that all i get is something like for an emergency restore blah blah , idk whats wrong, ive done the streakmod right and still,

i have att 2.2 rom it wont allow me to install other source apks

Regarding the issues faced by the OP on this thread:
1. If you are seeing mention of an update file when trying to access StreakMod Recovery, then you let the Streak boot regularly once you installed StreakMod, rather than immediately booting into StreakMod Recovery. If you let the Streak boot normally, StreakMod Recovery gets overwritten. If you're trying to install StreakDroid, then you need to hold down volume down and up as soon as you finish flashing StreakMod Recovery via Fastboot to use it.
Custom ROMs do not have the problem with recovery images being overwritten.
2. The recommended method of rooting a Streak is to flash StreakMod Recovery and then flashing Superuser.zip through it. One click rooting methods are not 100% reliable. The OP is attempting to flash a custom ROM, which doesn't require flashing Superuser.zip. It DOES require flashing StreakMod Recovery.
3. AT&T was supposed to permit sideloading on newer AT&T ROMs. Go to Settings>Applications and make sure "Unknown Sources" is checked. If the option is not present in the ROM, then either the ROM must be changed or a PC application such as the Sideload Wonder Machine must be used.
OP, you were attempting to change the ROM to StreakDroid. Did you change your mind?

[Q] Xoom files doesnt change

Hello guys,
i got a serious and frustrating problem here.
A few days ago my xoom was stuck on the M screen, so I used a thread in the forum and recovered it.
It solved myh problem back then, but since I had 3.2 before this and the solution injected me with Android 3.01 my problems started to show themselves.
the first one is that
<b> Through Fastboot, RecoveryMod, ADB </b> and any other way you can Imagine to install a new ROM or even remove or create a file,
All of them show success message but when I check them out I see no changes.
i tried fastboot and Recovery to install nearly every ROM,Recovery and bootimage in this site but so far it was wild goose chase.
so I want to ask if I'm doing anything wrong or if you need any more information here, but please help me with this

wow I cant believe it, All these masterminds here and no answer to my distress signal??
Guys I am so in trouble and this is the only place I hoped to get answered.
I can provide you with more info if you need, but please dont say I'm on my own here.
all these years this forum was the last hope for me.
i know I'll get my answer here one day

You are not being very clear about what you have done,, but I'm assuming that you reinstalled the stock image that got you back to HC 3.01. Can you see if you are able to get OTA updates to get you back to at least 3.1, or 3.2 if possible?

If that's my problem forgive me please, Ive written that post in 3:00AM
for the sake of clearity I should add some info:
1. I even tried stock ROMs but you see I cant even flash them (Not from Recovery nor Fastboot) the steps seem successful : it opens the package,it installs them and it says everything was a success. But when I restart the device I see nothing has changed.
2. OTA updates are the same, they keep downloading and when the sysem reboots to recovery to install them it cant find them.
3. You dont believe it if I say even files and programs that I remove from device by my hand(Android OS) are back after the first restart.
And you see it's dark magic! everything from a file to a partition are back by one reboot. I dont know what should I call it but I havent seen anything like it on the whole Internet.
So seems like I should make a competition for the xda experts here
Can you publish it so all of them can see it?

That would be relief to know this could be solvable.
I will look more too.
As for your post I must say:
1. I plug the Xoom to the PC using the included cable
2. I start the xoom and start fastboot
3. on the PC system has the drivers and completely knows it
4. I start with SDK:
I. Fastboot oem unlock (Completing onscreen instructions and reboot device)
II. Fastboot mode again I use Fastboot flash boot boot.img
III. Continuing with Recovery,System
IV. Rebooting the device anything is the same.
My ROM is unchanged by the process and keeeeeeeeps giving the damn error of System process error please submit
5. And with ClockworkrecoveryMod I have the stock ROM on my sd card.
I. I choose install zip from sd card.
II.Choose the correct zip file and start flashing.
III. Choosing Wipe Data/Factory reset will take the device into a complete hang. unless I first use the mount page to mount the System/Data
IV. I reboot the device and ..... you know nothing changed.
so thats my story.
Still hope to find something about it.

Thanks...that was helpful. But now I want to know the following:
Were you rooted before the trouble started?
What did you do to recover?
If rooted, what version of CWM recovery did you have installed? Did you do a nanadroid backup? (I guess the answer is no, because you could have just restored with that).
What recovery are you accessing when trying to flash a zip file?
If you can answer these questions I will continue to wrack my brain trying to recall where I saw that thread.
