Recovery Question

[chevyflames]

I one click rooted using Universal Androot. Trying to install a custom rom. But when I boot into recovery mode there is a picture of a phone with a red triangle with a explanation mark inside of it. After looking around other forums. It has something to do with a adb command. But since I one click rooted I didn't have to do any commands. Any ideas on what to do?

The one click root does not install Recovery on the phone. I don't recommend the one click recovery especially if you don't know your way around Android.

I know there are solutions to this, look in the same thread where you found the one click root, it must have instructions for installing recovery besides doing the rooting.

If not, I would recommend the following link, impaler pretty much knows almost everything related to Sprint Hero:

I'm stealing the below from another post I did recently for the benefit of others contemplating rooting your Sprint Hero.

These are a few articles to read before rooting process:

And this is obviously my rooting method of choice, it worked perfectly when reading the instructions step by step:

Only reason I did the one click root is because I could never root it the standard way. Since i had the newest RUU .6 I believe. And I could never remove it and add the .5 since I have Windows 7 and I always got the USB 71 error due to some driver issue that I tried endlessly to fix. To no avail.

try download ROM Manager from the market. I believe that it can install a recovery for you, then you could flash a different one, or just use that program to switch between roms. I have never tried it, however.

ROM Manager will install a recovery for you, and it gives you two options. That's what I did after using the one-click root method. Once you have a recovery, you can always change to a different one if you want.
