Sorry it's taking so long bud if I could hold your phone it would be a diff story don't worry we will get you fixed up

 

[jimcraig]

If you do not, extract the one from the zip and paste it into system/bin. Change the permissions to read write execute, read execute, read execute, then reboot

it will let me copy, but it wont let me paste it off of my SD card & onto phone system bin folder

 

[jimcraig]

Your recovery is sucking lol. It didn't flash the file you just told it to...or it would have been there

stand by. I flashed back to CM 2.5 something. and flashed rom from GUI in CM, rebooting & installing now...

 

[evomattnc]

Need to mount system as read write. Astro should have this option somewhere in settings...if not es file explorer does and it's free

Did you flash the flash image zip?

 

[jimcraig]

Ok then try which flash_image when it boots

this time I typed which <enter> then I typed flash_image and it said permission denied.

 

[jimcraig]

Did you flash the flash image zip?

yes from the GUI, & didnt seem to work, at least not in emulator it didnt. do u want me to flash it from within recovery & not through clockworkmod?

 

[evomattnc]

That would be nice...

 

[evomattnc]

If you can mount system read write in astro you can just paste the file too...

[How To] Flash Recovery Through Terminal Emulator (NEED S-OFF) - xda-developers

what about that? Is that what we are trying to do?

I downloaded File Expert and that seems to allow me to save to the system>bin folder as I now have a file named flash_image in the bin folder.

but in emulator when I type which flash_image it says permission denied.

Do you have busy box installed?

 

[beastinbolts]

did you type su first

 

[evomattnc]

Pretty sure you don't need to grant su to run a which

 

[jimcraig]

Do you have busy box installed?

did you type su first

yes to both.

 

[evomattnc]

yes to both.

Type su
Then run steps 3-5 and see if it works, we know you have the file now, which just checks for it.

so I should have a recovery.img file saved to root, check I should have flash image unzipped to a folder on my root, check. copy & save flash_image file to system>bin folder, check.

run emulator & type
watch flash_image, check
even did it watch <return> flash_image, and I get permission denied response.
