That's because you are in stock recovery. I'm almost certain of this. Does it say anything above cmd prompt after it "goes thru".

Its either that you aren't getting a good .img dl or your path to the .img is wrong in command. When you browse your phone for .img that you dl, what is the path you take?
 
every time i do step 4 (the one where i put this dd if=/sdcard/6031-touch-recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery) it tells me i do not have the permissions. i have tried either way, through the pc and android terminal. i am rooted, and im completely frusterated because i have no idea why it says that. and im on a clean stock factory reset.

Check to make sure your su app is updated and the su binaries are updated. I'm not saying that's the problem. I'm just brainstorming cuz I haven't run into that particular problem.
 
This is what it says when I try to do it through the andoid terminal, it won't even let me do any other action such as reboot. My su is updated, and I rooted because of my permisions problem but it hasn't helped.

You need to type su then hit enter to get the propmt to # . Then do the dd command to flash the recovery.
 
I was having the same problem and dadcup helped me out try to copy and paste this comand:
dd if=/sdcard/6031-touch-recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 bs=4094

That does the exact same thing as the command in the list.
 
Oh does it. Sorry i really dont know much about commands but when I with do the first one he mentioned I would not get anywhere then when I tried the one that dadcup had me copy and paste it worked the first time I tried it so I just figured it would work for him as well

No reason for sorry. I was just letting folks know. His problem is with permission, not the path. Unless your init.rc in the boot.img is different, I suspect your problem was a typo in the path. That's why copy and past command worked for you. If you navigate to the path in the command on your phone, you will see that the by-name/recovery is linked to the other. In the init.rc in the boot.img the partitions are mounted with the by-name path is why I have it listed that way on the instructions.

I put what jenny said and it worked! Thank ou guys for helping :D and I was wondering for the rom, is it just slimmed down ics with google now?

I don't know why that works and the other doesn't. I will have to look into that. Could you upload your stock boot.img so that I can look into it?

Was you putting .img after 6031-touch-recovery ?
Click to expand...

I'm curious cuz I just reflashed the recovery per instructions w/o any probs. And looking at your screencaps it doesn't look like you did
 
Yes, I had .img after the file name. I'm just glad I worked, and I'll upload it shortly.

Do I have to full wipe for the rom? Or just the cache?

Its recommended to do factory data reset. When you do that it wipes data and cache. No need for any other wipes.
