error writing recovery: No space left on device

pls help
 
this is the cmd to flash recovery through adb

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image

chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak (if it gives error message here, simply proceed to the next step)

mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

flash_image recovery /sdcard/your recovery name

reboot recovery

The phone will reboot now.


NOTE: If you get this error after step 4

mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
failed on '/system/etc/install-recovery.sh' - No such file or directory

issue the next command
 
Here's the link to flash image I used.

http://db.tt/YEPl7uiw

Please check & reply.

If any other flash image is there I 'll try.

I wanted to make a zip file of cwm. So that we can flash from current cwm.

My market is not working. So cannot download rom manager and update cwm.

The instructions posted by sam worked perfect for me :/

Off-topic:
How are you trying to create the recovery? from playful's repo?

adityadeva, have you flashed your recovery successfully using flash_image ?

yes, I had tried to flash cmw using rom-manager 5 to 6 times but booting into recovery hanged every time. (i downloaded using both wifi and 3g)

I tried sams method of flash_image using adb... works perfectly....

See I had also the same problem n I flashed recovery twice n got same problem.So on 3rd time after I flashed recovery using RM instead of manual boot into recovery(power up+vol down) I issued Boot into recovery from RM itself n it successfully booted into recovery.Afterwards I didn't faced any problem with manual method also.I justed wanted to share this experience.So in my opinion after flashing recovery using RM,issue boot into recovery from RM itself for 1st time...
