Alright im already rooted and i flashed clockwork recovery image and I want it gone. I'm trying to go back to Amons recovery image. However when im in the command and I type in adb push recovery-ra-eris.img /sdcard I get no such file or directory error... but i have the file in the tools folder of my androidsdk... any thoughts... i type this
cd\
cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools
adb devices
adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
adb push recovery-ra-eris.img /sdcard
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-ra-eris.img

fenwaynomar45, The above looks right. Are you sure you've got the recovery-ra-eris.img and flash_image files in the tools directory and/or you spelled the filenames right? Can you do a dir to verify?

lol! no biggie... at least you are doing the right thing and getting rid of ClockWork ;)

just type "dir" from the Windows Command Prompt while you are in the tools directory to display all of the files in that directory. Can you copy/paste the contents and the context of the error?

Ah, sorry, you posted back before my last reply. Did the

adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

work correctly? This is what allows you to push files to your /system directory.

ya that works fine and so does the flash_image.. its just the recovery-ra-eris
 
fenwaynomar45 said:
anyway for me to copy and paste it? because i dont wanna type it all ha
Click to expand...

Yeah, but copy and paste in the command prompt is a little wonky. Here's a quick step-by-step to copy and paste commands into your command prompt:

1. start-up the command prompt if you haven't already
2. change into the Android SDK's tools directory
3. copy the command from the root guide that you want to paste
4. from the command prompt, right-click the top part of the command-prompt window, select Edit, then Paste
5. repeat steps 3 and 4 for all of the adb commands--be sure to wait a little bit in-between commands to allow adb to finish what he is doing (especially the push commands)

Let me know if you need to know how to copy from the command prompt (I'll edit this post in a second with how to do that).

fenwaynomar45, looks like your "recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.im" is missing the last "g" or did it get cut-off? This would explain your problem...:D [can you rename it and fix it and retry?]

the g is there i just missed it in the copy and paste... under that though there is another recovery.img i saw... but its not in my folder anymore.. could that be the problem? cause i thought i deleted it

Its probably the same file (note the same file size)...you probably just downloaded a new/current version of Amon_RAs recovery. Can you do the copy/paste of each of the adb commands and post what you are seeing? [i.e., the whole session?]

FYI, first, edit your post and remove the value that adb devices displayed (it identifies you and your phone).

Uh, I'm kind of stumped... Can you do a fc (file compare) of the recovery.img and recovery-ra-eris-v1.6.2.img to see if they are identical.

fc recovery.img recovery-ra-eris-v1.6.2.img

If fc comes back with "files are identical" (or close to that), try using recovery.img instead in your commands.

I don't have a USB cable here at work or my SDK setup to try to replicate...

Hey, no problem...didn't think to ask about that either...:eek: (I stepped-out for lunch and was thinking about it and it did cross my mind, but I'm happy you got there first! :D).

Cheers and have a great holiday weekend!
