Root Phone wont go into recovery :\

Ah, i think i fixed it. I installed the SDK and ran these commands:

adb shell reboot bootloader
fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell mount /sdcard
adb push recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img
adb shell reboot
 
I allso get the triangle, but I dont understand what you did to fix it.

Im tryiing to install this ROM:
Elelinux-7.0.0-RC1-Hero-v1.0
on my HTC Hero.

Can someone help me ?
 
You must install a new custom recovery to the handset in order to flash a non-standard ROM. That's what is described in post #2.

Btw, if you've updated your Hero to 2.1-update1 this post explains an additional step required to make the custom recovery permanent.
 
Wee thanks. I finally got into the Recovery menu.

I've tried flashing 2 different ROM's but they won startup...

After reboot the HTC sign is shown for a couple of seconds,
and then the logo/display from the ROM is being shown animated.

But its just keeps loading, and flashes sometimes and start all over again.

Can someone help me?
 
No I have'nt done a factory reset..
I only read that I needed to "wipe dalvik cache".

When Im trying that it tells me, that this can only be done in ADB.
This can't I get to work...

But I tryid the factory reset, and it worked, THANKS!! :)

If you're updating from one version of the same ROM to another then a cache/dalvik wipe is often all that's required. However when changing to a different ROM it's alwasy advisable to do a full wipe, as this ensures that nothing from the previous one is left behind to cause potential conflicts.

Glad to hear it's working now, anyway. :D
 
I am having problem with " fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img" step on SDK. when i run it it does not boot the recovery image. i do have it on the sdcard and did not put it in any folder. have v1.7.0.1. suggestions?

Thanks.

1. To fastboot the recovery, the *.img file should be in the active directory i.e. the folder you are running fastboot.exe from.

2. The command would be "fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.7.0.1.img"
 
Thats the bit that isn't working from me. I try to flash it from my sdcard, but neither "recovery flasher" works, neither ROM manager does the trick. Even when i try to use SDK it does not flash. Tried following your steps written in some other post, but it just doesnt work :/

EDIT: tried putting the recovery finally. but now in SDK it gives FAILED:"remote not allowed".
 
I'm assuming that you already have root access, as that's a prerequisite?

Try the following in a Command Prompt window with your handset connected via USB:

Code: 
cd \<folder containing adb.exe>
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Now try to flash the new recovery as per instructions.
 
Yes i do have my phone rooted.

For some reason i get "Read only file system" when i run

:/
rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
 
Found the problem. Had a newer RUU installed after my phone crashed. Downgraded yesterday and all the set up went like a charm. Sitting with elelinux now and enjoying "new" hero :) Thanks Slug for all the help :) Much appreciated .
