Root How to Move from Cyogen 1.4 to RA-hero-v1.6.2

Hello avid Helpers,

I wan't to install the new recovery image on my Hero.

I am struggling doing so....I have Cyogen 1.4 at the moment

Do I have to do it the adb way ?

If so what is adb ? I am new to all these command things...

On the site it says do the following...

Copy recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img to the root of your sdcard
Boot into your current custom recovery (boot while holding HOME)
Connect your Hero via usb to your pc/mac/...
adb shell
$su (not required if you have root already)
#mount -a
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.6.2.img

I am on Windows 7

Do I need to download anything to run these commands ?

I tried Downloading the Android SDK but kept getting a failure to download package thing.

An easy guide would be much appreciated

I tried using the flashrec way but it would'nt backup my recovery image

I am currently using Sense Hero 2.1 ROM

Many Thanks
 
hi read my help thread sticky and navigate to search via firmware and see what method applies 2 u. the amonra recovery will overwrite cynagen so you'll have no problems. y do you have cynagen..its not supported for the hero antway

I used this method to upgrade my copy of amon ra, using the Terminal app:

Download the image to the SD Card (/sdcard/recovery-RA-Hero-v1.5.3.1.img)
Type 'SU' at the prompt
Type 'flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-Hero-vX.X.X.X.img' at the prompt
Wait about 30 seconds
Done! (reboot into bootloader mode to test)
Click to expand...

This also looks good:
cd \adbfolder
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-Hero-vX.X.X.X.img
Click to expand...
 
Which option did you try? I think it means whichever program, adb or the terminal, isn't getting root access.

I won't pretend to be an expert with ADB, but I believe if you type:

adb remount
adb shell

and you're left with the hash key on it's own like this:
#

then you have root access.

So you might want to try this in adb in stead:

cd \adbfolder
adb shell
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-Hero-vX.X.X.X.img

But like I mentioned, my adb skills don't go much above copy and pasting what I'm told to :P
