Root [GUIDE] How to Flash Recovery AND Setup AndroidSDK (Revised)

[new optimus]

A while back, when I was first learning how to flash the getitnowmarketing recovery, I was directed to install just the Android SDK tools and the and the Platform tools. Then I could run ADB shell under to push commands to the phone, such as doing all the commands necessary to flash the recovery.

This is what you read correct

To get service back and root you need to download adb. Go to Android SDK | Android Developers and download the file that ends on .zip. Extract it to your C:\ drive. Go to C:\android-sdk-windows and open sdkmanager.exe. After is open a windows will pop out click reject on all files except for:
Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platform tools. Make sure USB debugging is activated (On your phone go to settings> applications>development and check USB debugging) Then open up Cmd and type the following: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools.

When you follow those you end up with the folder on your hard drive inside that folder are the files I showed.

Correct. So in order to get all that, I had to also install the JDK. I guess that I didn't understand when you said I didn't need to install all of that.

If you haven't typed the line cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image, flash_image will not be found because you haven't put it on your phone yet.

It says for me:

Cannot create /system/bin/flash_image: read-only file system

any thoughts

thanks

I already root my phone with the gingerbreak method and already download the Terminal emulator from the market. even when I start TE and I type su , it asked me for superuser permision.

system folder is read only.

somebody else with a better idea.

thanks

are you doing all the commands on your phone? with terminal emulater?
when you initially did the su at the $ prompt did it change to a # prompt?

What about extracting the .zip(s) file before copying to root of sd_card (should be extracted first) - just idea. Please disregard if that's been done.

Sorry to bump this thread. I'm using the terminal emulator and I got the same error all I did was continue on to the next line of code and then I used an app called "AnReboot" to boot into recovery mode and I got the all in one recovery working perfectly.
