Hi there!

Just finished rooting my myTouch 3G, and now I want to setup my sdcard for apps2sdcard. Unfortunately for me, the recovery image that I used to root my phone didn’t come with the partitioning stuff installed. I thought “No biggie, I’ll just use flashrec to install a custom recovery.img” However, I seem to be having difficulty in nailing down the command line I need to use to flash this new recovery image. Assuming that the name of the image is “recovery.img” and that it’s installed on the root of the sdcard, could someone help me figure out the filepath that I need to use to flash this?

Thanks ahead of time, and happy modding to all! =)

please update it so that it can work for 1.6 donut.

please add support for 1.6 donut release!!!

PLEASEEEEEEEE!! :’(

Sadly, this does not work on the LG GW620. It is running 1.5, but the asroot2 hole must be fixed in its kernel. :(

My MyTouch is now cupcake. I’ve used “Backup Recovery Image” in FlashRec 1.1.3 to do a backup, so FlashRec is basically working. However, I am unable to download a recovery image. I put the right recovery image (ra.img) on my sdcard and typed “ra.img”, “/sdcard/ra.img”, “file:/sdcard/ra.img” into the text box, and the “Download Recovery Image” button remains gray. I downloaded FlashRec 1.1.2, and it offers an image from the web, but it behaves the same for my sdcard. I would rather use a recovery image I downloaded than one built into an older copy of FlashRec. If you can assure me that 1.1.2 will download the correct image for my MyTouch, then I guess I can use that. Otherwise, please describe how I should use FlashRec to root from my sdcard.

I verify that I am now running cupcake (1.5, and T-Mobile keeps wanting to fix that for me) on MyTouch 32B. Now I attempt to run FlashRec 1.1.3 to root. I want to load recovery image from sdcard, but nothing I do enables the “Download Recovery Image” button. It sits there gray. I can see the 1.4 image on sdcard with Linda FM, but when I type /sdcard/ra.img (and I’ve done it several times to be sure of spelling), the button is still gray. I tried using 1.1.2, and while it offers me the network image, it also won’t see my sdcard image. (I even tried file:/sdcard/ra.img.) I suppose I could use the network image offered by 1.1.2, but I’d rather use the image I got myself. BTW, I successfully backed up my recovery image, so the FlashRec seems to be running.

i downgraded to 1.5 and every time i try to turn off the phone and hold down home and power on a different screen pops up? with a phone by it with a “?” mark by it!! please help??

seems like this should be able to root the samsung moment on sprint, its running 1.5.
i get a “Can’t verify EBI version” error when it starts then a “Backup FAILED: cannot run command” when i try the backup and the other link is greyed.

I did every step that WIKI CYANOGEN site mentioned. I go into recovery flasher app and hit restore back up image.It says flash complete but there’s no url in the text box. I hit restore back up image…nothing. Just says flash complete. What am I doing wrong? Please help me out here. Greatly appreciate it.

I already have a rooted phone that I didn’t root myself. It’s a JF 1.42 root and I would like to put the cyanogen on it but I can’t get the image to load in anyway. Is there anyone who can help? I have read til I can’t see straight and still nothing to help! email is spitzdiggy@hotmail.com if this thing doesn’t work! Thanks in advance!

So this works on a Sprint HTC Hero?

I noticed you added support for the Behold 2. Once you run this app what would be the next step to get root on the phone? And can it be done without using adb?

Works on the Galaxy, thanks

which one of these .apk files do I use for rooting Mytouch 3g 1.5?

I used the directions on using some of the files from this app and the sdk kit as well as PDAnet in order to root the phone. I know it’s been rooted but now when I try and run you app I keep getting the “Could not run command” error. What could be the problem?

So I used one of the instructions posted on androidforums to root my Hero using some of the files from this app as well as from PDAnet and the sdk. I successfully rooted the phone and then installed your app and get the “Could not run command” error. Did I someone mess things up by rooting the phone using the other method BEFORE using your app? How do I fix this?

I have the MyTouch with 1.6 firmware and I keep getting the “Could not run command” message when i try to back up recovery mage does this mean I can not upload roms at all? PLEASE HELP.

how do you use this flashrec to make a backup? Sprint Hero

I just tried this on my Sprint Hero and after pressing the “Backup Recovery Image” button, it works for about 20 seconds and then says “Backup FAILED: Could not run command”

I tried this on the Sprint Hero… it says it worked fine, but I don’t believe it actually put the image on the phone (using Amon Ra’s image). When I power off and press HOME/END, I get the standard HTC menu. Also, after flashing the Amon Ra image (3.5meg) I did a backup and the backup was 5meg. Any thoughts? I’m willing to help troubleshoot this just send me whatever. I’m not worried about bricking my phone (Thanks to BB Black Tie Protection Plan).

I have HTC Orange (Firmware 1.5, baseband v. 63.6.27-8dd6deee, build n. 2.73.61.5) and where press back up button for the first time I get “could not run command” error. However, when I press it the second time I get notice “Backup complete” and a firmware image on SD card. It that normal? Can I be sure that backup is OK?

Thanks, Crt

Ok, so i used this apk and downloaded its recovery image. I can get to the Boot Loader screen but from there i cant seem to get anywhere (reboot,wipe data,etc) nothing gets me back past my G1 Logo…My Fastboot says somethin about no image! WTF i’m so totally lost at this point, ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Starting with a stock t-mobile UK Hero (1.76.x ROM), flashrec seemed to work fine (backup, download, flash ok msg).

The reboot button didn’t do anything, so I rebooted manually, but holding home & power just gets me stuck at the t-mobile boot screen (I held them quite a while!). Booting normally still works fine.

Any ideas?

Ben

PS – using adb & fastboot boot recovery.img gives the same hang at boot screen..

Hello all,

When I click on Backup: “Backup FAILED: Could not run command.”
And I can’t click on Flash Recovery Image, the button is not enabled.

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have the HTC Hero with the official firmware (http://www.htc.com/fr/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=2), which blocks the boot of non-official recovery mod. I flash the recovery boot sector and it tells me “Flash complete”, but when I click the reboot button, nothing happens and when I reboot manually, nothing has changed ! Please help me !

On HTC dream Orange, I’ve successfully downloaded cm-recovery-1.4.32a.img but the button “Flash recovery Image” is inactive (grey) ?

When I use FlashRect to flash recovery-RA-dream-v1.2.2.img and press “Reboot into recovery mode”, then reboots into recovery mode as expected. But if I after that I try to turn off the mobile and get into recovery mode (Power + Home) then goes to the picture with a triangle and an exclamation (the original recovery mode, not the RA one).

Is normal this behavior?

Thanks :-)

Does this work on all HTC Magic’s? I have one from Vodafone, bought june 2009. Will this work? Or do I have to check something (version) before I get started?
And also: there is no hacked SPL installed. Does this have a disadvantage?

The first time i run the recovery flasher all goes well, and when i choose “Reboot in Recovery Mode” it loads up the CM Recovery Flasher, but then if I load the default android OS, then shut down phone and try to restart in recovery mode, i get the default exclamation point one. I am afraid to go further with adding new ROM as it seems the CM recovery is not ‘sticking’

I downloaded the file signed-google_ion-img-150275.zip from HTC and it contains a recovery.img file. Can I rename that recovery-backup.img and restore the original recovery image? Again, thanks for the help.

Hello Zinx,

Is your program compatible with Linux 2.6.28?

First of all i would like to thank you so much for your efforts of this amazing flasher. Kernel 2.6.27-44690c1a , build 2.73.707.9 , Software 1.0.0.A6288 , HBoot 1.76.0007, Phone type EBI1/32A this new version for asia has been having problems rooting, cant get any images on from the bootloader or adb/recovery, can you please help us!. If you need any info please let me know and i’ll be more than happy to provide it.

Hello Zinx, i have a Hong Kong version Hero with 2.73.721.9 and hboot 1.76.0007.
I can install the flashrec 20090815 but cannot upgrade it to flashrec 20090909.
May i know if flashrec could support Hero in the furture?

I successfully rooted, but I accidentally overwrote my original recovery image. Is there a way to get the original recovery image back? The original where if you boot into Recovery Mode, you get the exclamation point with the picture of the phone. Thanks for the tutorial.
