Hey everyone, if you're in recovery mode in JF 1.41 RC33 and can't access the device via ADB, just flash the recovery image pulled from JF 1.41 RC30 back onto the phone using fastboot in bootloader mode (by holding down camera + power)
Here is the command:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Cheers =]

I am on haykuros rom right now and i am wondering if i could download a jf rom, rename it to update.zip and flash it to get back to jf, instead of doing all of that fastboot stuff.

what fastboot stuff are you talking about?
and i dont see why not, although i havnt tried, i didnt do anything using fastboot to goto haykuros 5.0.2 (i just did a wipe), so i cant see why i couldnt just do the same to goto jf 1.42

on haykuros website to go back to jf he says you have to do this
PHP:
After playing with my ROMs, and if you don’t like them or for whatever reason you feel you want to go back, you can revert back at any time using fastboot.
Open a command prompt (Start -> Run, and type in “cmd”) and type in:
adb shell reboot bootloader
This will boot you, easily, into the SPL (as opposed to power off, holding CAMERA then power on.)
Now in the same command prompt navigate to where you have your nandroid backup (you need boot.img, data.img, and system.img) type in:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system –w
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
That’s it! You are now back to your original state!
i just want to put jf on it as update.zip and flash

oh gotcha, never knew that
well you could get stuck on a flashing android, but even then you could still go do the fastboot stuff, and is there a reason against using the fastboot method? ive found fastboot to be a very reliable way of doing things, and if haykuro suggests you to do it that way, then id assume thats the best possible way of doing things
if you try to just flash the update.zip, let me know how it goes, im curious
The purpose of the "fastboot stuff" is to restore from a nandroid backup. You can flash with an update.zip of any jf version and be just fine.
yes, ive done it, worked fine, except you'll want to reflash to the radio jf has out there, if you've updated the radio. Which i know i did, the old radio has issues with 1.5
If this is the recovery image that is currently on my g1, how do I change it?
i 'm using voda magic
plz help
Press back and end when the phone is off to enter fastboot mode.
Check to see if your board is 32A or 32B.
Download the appropriate recovery image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=530492
Enter this in the command prompt: fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.1.1G.img or recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img
The phone will reboot and then you will have a menu with a backup option.
You can download fastboot here:

(forgive my poor english first. i don't perfect spl in fact. just consider about the possibility of following situation)
let's ASSUME that i have PERFECT spl and ORIGINAL recovery, but at the same time i have ROOT. CAN i just flash recovery in terminal using the command "flash_image"?
if it doesn't work, is there another way?
Urgent!
Anybody help???
I think you can flash your custom Recovery with the original Radio/SPL but you can also boot your recovery in fastboot mode (back + power)
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
You can also flash the 1.33.2010 Engineering SPL like another update.zip.
Another EDIT: the 1.33.0008 isn't PERFECT SPL, you can flash on it.

There are several versions of the Perfect SPL; which one are you talking about? Each one is a different situation.

anybody help?
Yes, you can flash a recovery using adb. Save the recovery image you want to flash to your sdcard. Open a command prompt at the tools folder of the androidsdk. Then type the command:
Code:
adb shell
flash_image recovery /sdcard/<name of the recovery.img>
And you'll have a custom recovery installed. From then on you can replace the perfected SPL. Take a look here.

Got it!
thanks a lot!!!!
I flashed the new RADIO and SPL,but forgot to flash a new recovery in HBOOT model. The flash was totally succeed (because after fashing,I tap "fastboot reboot-bootloader" command in HBOOT and it could reboot automatically into hboot model and I can see the new RADIO and SPL had been fashed.
But here comes the problem, I try to reboot my phone into recovery model to flash the new ROM, but no matter I press HOME+POWER or BACK+POWER this time, it reboots again and again at first boot screen, and donnot have any response with the key I tapped!
God! is that bricked? No please don't tell me it's true!
so to clarify, you didn't flash a recovery image and now you don't know why you can't boot to recovery?
boot to fastboot, flash the recovery only, reboot to recovery, flash the rom of your choice and enjoy
Of course, but I cannot boot into fastboot or recovery model now.

*facepalm*
if you can't get into fastboot and you can't get into recovery you just bricked your phone.
while it's bootlooping, can you adb devices and tell us what you get?
i'm surprised that it's bricked because you forgot to flash a recovery, would have thought you could still access fastboot...
I was surprised too.
I don't know why,but I can boot into fastboot model now, but my recovery and rom are still broken.
So I tried to type "fastboot boot recovery.img" on my computer, so that I can enter recovery temporary, but here comes another trouble, it can't mount sdcard now! Display "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1(or /dev/block/mmcblk0)(No such file or directroy) E:Can't mount SDCARD
!"
So can I use adb shell to install a ROM???
calm down bro....
you didn't brick your phone...
i've same problem after I flashed the new radio SPL HBOOT and recovery...
I've used Hero Recovery...
after u flashed your handset with new radio SPL HBOOT and Recovery, the ROM file DELETED....
so, u just download new rom (that have SAME RADIO HBOOT and Recovery with your handset)
after finished the download, put the file into ROOT SDCard... and then flash it from your RECOVERY....
I've used HERO RECOVERY....
my handset is HTC MAGIC 32A
just do that, if the problem same with me....
BRAVO

better use last recovery.... (1.5.2 isn't last recovery)
I don't recall the OP mentioning what handset they have. If its the MyTouch 3G Limited Edition or 1.2 (has headphone jack on top) a new user to rooting may confuse that with a Magic 32A in which case your instructions without clarifying would surely brick his phone. (Though he's on Fido, so not likely to be a MyTouch, but he didn't even mention of it was a Magic, Hero, G1, or if it was a DVT board instead of a PVT)

You shouldn't offer instructions like this. You have no idea what phone he's using. You offer such a high risk of bricking the phone since most members here fail to read instructions before running a bunch of commands.
He's fido like the above guy said which could mean he's using a rogers magic, but it's also unlikely. Fido doesn't have Magic, so he definitely got it off someone. And since it's rootable (it is unlikely that he could get a hands on a rooted magic here since their lame update) it has a high chance that its from tmo or something which = 32B board.
my phone is htc magic with 32A and it's ENG S-ON so I can't flash a recovery through fastboot, so I have to use "fastboot boot recovery.img" to use a recovery temporary just I said above. I do know that I can put a rom into a sdcard to flash it, but it can't mount sdcard now
Try waiting 30-60 seconds before accessing the SD card. Some recovery images take a while to mount the card.
