Ok, so my sister just got one of the newer 2.2.2 V's with the new screen drivers, and I just rooted it. I downloaded BobZ's recovery version for the newer screens,and the latest BACKside build. I got terminal emulator, and I'm trying to flash the recovery, but it just won't flash! I typed
$ su
# cd sdcard
# flash_image recovery VM670NH_recovery.img
To which it then says
flash_image: not found
It's definetely on the SD Card, just don't know why it won't flash.
You would think I would know how to do this, I have done it on my own phone several times...
Help?
I posted that up in the IHO thread here, and got this reply form Jerry:
The binary file flash_image is what is missing, not the recovery image file.
You will need to use ADB to push the flash_image file to /system/bin and set it's permissions to rwxr-xr-x, then reboot. Once you boot back up, open Terminal emulator (download it if you don't already have it), then type in the following:
This should install the new recovery, and boot you into it.Code:su flash_image /sdcard/NAME_OF_RECOVERY.img reboot recovery
Here's a download link to flash_image
So I downloaded the file, and moved it to /system/bin with root explorer. I set it's permissions to the same as everything else in that folder. Then I went to terminal emulator and types
Code:
su
flash_image /sdcard/VM670NH_recovery.img (I am positive I spelled it correctly)
Then it gave me (instantly, might I add):
usage: flash_image partition file.img
then I typed: reboot recovery, and it booted into the stock android recovery.
I have tried this several times, even trying
Code:
flash_image /mnt/sdcard/VM670NH_recovery.img
to no avail. So, any help? It seemed so much easier when these phones were just coming out.
One last thing: Apparently busybox is not installed, but I can't get it to install. I never had to do it to my phone, so I didn't think it mattered. Course, I rooted mine the old way with ADB, hers I did with gingerbreak.
