Root Help!!! Cannot flash recovery.img

[Flowsick180]

Hey everyone, Flowsick180 here.

I am not new to flashing, I have been running custom ROMS on my Moto Backflip for over a year now, but when I try to flash ANY recovery img onto this phone via either ADB or Terminal Emulator I get an Flash_Image not found error. I have no idea why I wanted some feedback or suggestions. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

right now joneidy's.

Guys please read this thread it shows you exactly what to do. The error is because the flash_image is not on the phone. You need it in order to flash recovery. Just follow the steps on the above guide.

Hope this helps

PS. I will have to tell mikekelso to update his guide with the right steps.

Thanks!
but now that I've done that, but now the problem is that when I try to go into recovery it shows a screen like I am doing an OTA Android update and keeps doing that until I let go of the keys. After that, when I let the phone boot up, It behaves as If I did a factory reset.

BTW the OTA Type screen lasts for about 1 min.

Okay' I got it, I found out that the flash_image didnt flash correctly so I just did it again and It's working fine. Im running CM7 now.
