Terminal emulator error: -1 when trying to flash CWM touch. - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to flash cwm touch on my n10, but I'm kind of a Linux noob.
I downloaded latest recovery IMG. Put it on the root of my SD. Installed latest busybox. Typed in terminal emulator:
$ su
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
It than says: failed with error: -1
I also tried recovery flasher from the playstore which said to have flashed it, but it didn't... and I don't have a PC at the moment.
(BTW, I paid for cwm touch on my GNex but can't seem to link it to my gmail and would want to learn it the manual way anyway)
Is there perhaps someone who can tell me what the problem is?

flash recovery error “out of memory”

my magic is TIM's G2
the rom is myhero 2.0.5 but the recovery is too old, so i want to flash the recovery to Amon's recovery 1.5.2.
but when i flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
some error type. all is "out of memory". then i open the phone, i can't into the recovery.
it's so bay. now i can flash 1.2.3H into my Magic, i want flash 1.5.2, help please.
It won't work if you only type that. I assume you're using a terminal emulator. I'm pretty sure you only forgot the mount command, but I'll go trough everything to be sure.
All you need to to is to flash the recovery image again. As you're having MyHero, I assume you're having a 32A. Therefore, make sure you have the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img, not the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img.
Copy the file to the root of your SD, no need to rename it.
Open up your terminal emulator, and type:
Code:
su
You should get a root request, accept it. Then type in:
Code:
mount -a
Don't worry if you're getting errors here, that's normal. Lastly, type in the following.
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img
It's just normal to get errors here too. Or, at least I do.
Start your phone in recovery, and it should work.
tks
i will try later

[Q] i have tried everything!!!!

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

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!!!!

[help][L7] Secure booting error on recovery?

Hi guys. I have a small problem with my LG L7.
My phone had stock rom with prerooted v10k rom. (no unlocked bootloader,no cwm)
I tried to flash the bootloader from the L7CWM.zip bat,and there was no error.
I didn't flash the recovery from the .bat,i installed it from ROM Manager and everything well.
Now the phone works,but if i try to enter recovery i get a this error:
Secure booting error!
Cause: boot certification verify
Why? I thought the bootloader was unlocked.
ROM Manager says I have the ClockworkMod 6.0.2.8,but I can't boot on it.
Solved. I just reflashed the bootloader 2 times,installed the cwm from the .bat and then again from ROM Manager.
Now everything works very well,i was just stupid trying to install the recovery from ROM Manager directly

Again installed cwm, on other computer and made it.
Then instaled V10K but Russian version via KDZ, than via CWM installed CM10 and all works well for now.
I dont know what should I do.
I have v10K rooted, downloaded CWM package, pluged my L7 via USB cable, USB debbugging activated,
then I run "flash_bootloader.bat", something blinks on PC screen (cant see or read because it is very quick), and nothing happens.
Restarted the phone, and nothing. Trying also "flash_recovery.bat", the same result.
Doing something wrong?
Help, please..

How did you solve the problem?
I do not have any /data/local/tmp/ directory! Where should I find it?

Sorry I don't understand.
I also tried to create manually those directories in the phone and put the apps boot.bin file in it... but the same error shows in cmd .
Are there any other ways to unlock the bootloader?

[Q] CWM installation after towelroot

Hey!
I have tried installing cwm after doing towelroot. I am using terminal and used the command:
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
but it ends up doing nothing. I have the proper binaries and I did chmod 777 so the command should work. But when I do:
Code:
reboot recovery
I boot into Android recovery 3e. Also after executing the command should I get any output or should it go straight to next line? Any help would be appreciated.
We have a locked bootloader which really prevents the us from replacing the stock kernel and recovery. The only working recovery we have is safestrap. Read more on the all things AT&T thread.

Anyway to flash CM boot.img using terminal emulator?

I extracted boot.img on the root of the device and used the following commands in terminal emulator:
Su
Mount /sdcard
Flash_image boot /sdcard/boot.img
It says: flash_image: not found
LE: and if it's not posibile, can I just normally flash CM via recovery?

I tried but it only has options for kernel and recovery, not boot.img
Download the "Flash_image" binary, place in system /xbin, set permissions and try again.
It worked with rashr in the end. Boot.img is apparently the kernel, which I wasn't aware of. Many thanks for all the responses.
