Got rooted, now cant complete recovery- Please Help

[ronrikter]

Hey everyone, I need some help. Heres what I've done:
I used z4root to root the device.
Used ES File explorer to go in.
Copied the flash_image and recovery over properly.

1st try was with the files still zipped and after
"su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image"
I got the file not found error. tried this several times

So after reading everything thru here I went into ES File explorer and extracted the zip and copied the file on the root of the SD card.

2nd Option I did the process again
"su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image"
and got the invalid length error

I went thru the process of using z4root again to re-root the phone and try it over again. Same problems

Ive done this with debugging turned on and off.
Im using terminal emulator on the phone for the commands

after doing
su
/sd/card/flash_image

I get /sdcard/flash_image: permission denied

It says my phone is rooted properly and Ive gone thru all the steps. What other options or apps do I need to get this working?

Did you make sure to unzip both the flash_image *and* custom recovery to the root of the SD Card? Not sure from this part of your post.

"su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

It might be worth downloading the zips again and starting with a fresh set of files. I never experienced this particular error, but it sounds like the file could be corrupted?

In the second line, i see a typo - extra slash after "sd"
