I'ld like to pretend I know linux, sadly I don't. This is not my first root I used the revert to v9 shove your arm in a blender and hold your breath method... this may be a noob mistake but my learning curve is high. I used the one click method for my wifes wanted to try it. I don't belive the spaces were missed but ill try. Thank You for the analysis ichi.

Didn't bother me at all, a nice break from a not so nice lunch meeting with the tripolar mother. Not mad or irritated at you at all. The lack of spacing is something someone who's never used adb would do, you also introduced this as a noob question, so I provided an answer with that info. Other then that neither your mount or cat scripts were written with spaces and they are important to terminal if adding the spaces dont work copy your command window either with a screen shot or copy paste and let us see. Until then good luck.

Yes everything that can be done in adb can be done from terminal emulator provided its not missing files or other dependencies.

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH
$su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/ block/mtdblock5 /system
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/ flash_image
cannot create /system/bin/: is a directory

Now I'm copying what is in the first post, so what's wrong? I don't see where I'm going wrongi tried it with more spaces to get the (*.*): is a directory, responce.

Do you already have a custom recovery installed on there? or is this the first time you are attempting to install one?

Are you sure the flash_image is unzipped and on the root of the sdcard? If it is then you can download root explorer and give it the correct permission in /system/bin then copy that flash_image to /system/bin.

that way you can skip that # cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image line

make sure you do the rest of the steps......

but make 100% sure both of those files are on the root of the sdcard,and are unzipped,

I'm sorry rammv, but that is incorrect. You don't unzip anything from recovery.

yungdrizzle4,

Make sure you extract both flash_image.zip and xionia_cwma_12518.6.rar to the root of your sd-card.

You will end up with two files named flash_image and xionia_cwma_12518.6.img on your card, then try again. Maybe even redownload the files.

 

[rammv]

you are correct just have not done that in awhile. old age sucks can't remember, need to reflash the brain once in awhile.

Can I rename the nandroid backup folder to whatever I wish? For example, one would be "Reborn09122011" and the other would be "CM709122011" or is it not possible? I only ask because it is hard to remember which backup is which

Yep, mine renamed, look like this........ 2011-09-10.CM7drew

This format works for sure, just make sure there are never any spaces.

Ok 2 questions both are noobish. 1) is root explorer the only app that I can give permissions from and ,B) can u walk me through the move of flash_image or is it just cut and paste idiot proof?

Yes 1 is unzipped and the other unrared.

sorry been busy all day...

anyway use root explorer, go to the directory where the flash_image file is, long press the flash image file and options should appear, choose copy and then place it in /system/bin.

you have to use a file manager that gives you root access to be able to see and modify stuff on the phone's storage (not the sdcard)

I think EZ file Explorer will do the same, but I have no experience with it, probably a long press works the same way.

good luck, just hope I made it clear enough. and make sure you follow the rest of those commands on how to put that recovery on, after you get that flash_image in /system/bin follow the rest of the commands except the cat line

You do not move the image! You keep in on the root of sd card! Then follow the directions for installing recovery.
Make sure you extract both flash_image.zip and xionia_cwma_12518.6.rar to the root of your sd-card.

Always happy to help, hit that thanks button if I did

Is the root of the sd card just the card itself, not any secondary folders??
