Custom recovery help

[theguz91]

I was using the sticky to get my custom recovery so I can install a rom.

It's rooted and all that, but the recovery flash is not working. I cannot get adb to work at all, so I used the terminal emulator.

I typed this in.

su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM.img
reboot recovery


This is what I got back.

# mtdblock5: not found
# cannot create /system/bin: is a directory
# flash_image: not found
# Unable to chmod /flash_image: No such file or directory
# Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
# mtdblock5: not found
# flash_image: not found
#


Anyone have an idea on what's going on?
Thanks

that's pretty ugly.
what's the output from
ls /dev/block/
?

flash_image is a actual file android uses to flash that image over the old recovery.

without it, it cant.

thats why it says flash_image not found.

youd need to place it in its correct place in the directory then try all those commands again.

what rooting method did you use?

what did you download and/or instal prior to entering the commands?

from my limited experience: if you ever enter code and don't get back the results you expect, Stop. if the first line of code if off it's just ganna get worse.
