download the file again for the g1. rename it to something shorter like "dream" and put it on the root of the sd card
type in these commands in the terminal (DO NOT INCLUDE THE $, #, AND THE WORDS IN THE PARENTHESES!!)
$su (if a pop up comes, pick always allow)
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/dream.img
if that doesn't work then just go back to amon ra's thread about the recovery image and try different methods like adb or fastboot

thanks dude, its worked now... i was doing that method before, just seemed to work today thanks again

Stuck at boot and can't acces sdcard

Hello all,
I have searched high and low and maybe not quite good enough, but I am running out of time. So my question for today:
Is there a way to mount the micro sdcard from the phone when I can't access android os?
I flashed something bad and now my G1 is stuck at the android logo. Usually I just copy the update.zip to my sdcard and flash it again. But I can't find the microsd card adapter and I have no other way of accessing my micro sdcard. There's a little more to it, but the point is I can't access my micro sdcard. There's nothing wrong the the card, I just don't have the tools to connect it to my laptop.
I have files called update1.zip and update.zip on my sdcard. I just want to delete update.zip and rename update1.zip to update.zip so I can flash that again. Is there a way?
I have JF ADP1.1 and HardSPL installed.. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Do the following adb commands:
Remove the update command:
adb shell rm sdcard/update.zip
Then
Rename update1:
adb shell rename sdcard/update1.zip sdcard/update.zip
Then just reflash with that update.
I remember I got stuck too, lol.
And please don't judge me because of my post count, its just that i forgot my password to my other account lol.
I thank you with all my heart hehe..I didn't know where to begin and you made me look some stuff up. I knew nothing about ADB etc.. but I do now and I think i could have done it with the ALT + X console in recovery mode (without reading through the adp for dummies thread)
And also.. I just couldn't figure out WHY i got an error every single time > the command for renaming is mv .. I kept typing rename.. yes i am a noob.. But today, I have learned something new.. so thnx alot!

Nandroid Backup, HELP

Hello everyone,
I have succesfully rooted my Sprint Hero, I am even using a cache app that you have to be rooted to use so I KNOW I am rooted. The only problem is NO MATTER WHAT I try I can not successfully flash the recovery img. It shows as flashing ok but when I go to boot in recovery it either flashes the HTC sign real quick then dies or stays on the HTC screen and doesnt do anything. Ive literally been trying this for 2 days now! Ive rerooted 10 times, Ive tried as many different recovery imgs for CDMA that I could find and I STILL get the same result. I even switched sd cards!! Could there be a problem with my phone thats not allowing it to work? Someone please help this is driving me nuts! Im ready to return the phone and get a new one just to try it,LOL!!PPlease help??
What images have you tried?
Just ones Ive found around the internet. Most of them were recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img
How are you trying to install it?
Flashrec?
flash_image?
Anyone??? Please?????Im about to return it and try again Id hate to find out it was something simple cuz this Hero has been perfect except for this problem, which is pretty useless to have it rooted if I cant flash, And I wont be able to update if sprint has an update also correct??

I follow f directions online that I go into cmd and get to the root and type" flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img, when I hit enter all that happens is it shows exactly what I typed AGAIN then just #
So it will look like this:
#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img
#
Then when I type reboot recovery it just reboots and shuts off, so Ill pull the battery and try the hardware method power volume down and it does THE SAME thing or it will just stay stuck on the HTC screen.
Do it like that.
then then use the:
"reboot recovery" command on the # prompt. See if that helps.

Redownload the the image from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=581521
Download md5sum.exe from this site: http://www.etree.org/md5com.html
Save it in them in same folder as you have the adb command in.
Then from the command line run:
md5sum recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img
It should output something like this:
0bdcea0f2c734035ba960d76aba0fa6a *recovery-RA-heroc-v1.2.3.img (Don't forget to copy it to the sdcard again )
Bolded text is the checksum of the file, it should match perfectly or your image is damaged.
If the checksum is the same, try flashing it again.
ahh i see clearer now.....
yes as suggested in the last thread you posted in... do a sprint RUU and try agian... this will put you at a known good baseline.... follow steps exactly...
as a added measure to cancel the option of bad sd card, get an external micro sd card reader and format it in windows as fat32

Where do I input that? Once I get in root?

No, md5sum in run before you do the adb shell command (it's a normal PC program).

That is the correct checksum.
Try and flash that one.
Nope Same DAM thing it gets stuck at htc or htc then quits and shuts off
I'm out of ideas then. Could be that it's broken, unless someone else has the same problem. (Haven't seen any of that though).

HowTo re-flash the recovery image after old 2.1 RUU

This guide was taken from AndroidCentral and I thought I would share it here because it's taken me 4 hours this morning to figure out why I was having so many problems trying to flash a recovery image when I know my phone was rooted and flashed in order to get 2.1 a month or so ago. I have been searching these forums and google and hope anyone else who has my issue finds this post.
1. Make sure you have the Android SDK installed.
2. Download flash_image.zip
3. Download recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
4. Unzip the first file, and place both in your Android SDK/tools folder.
5. Make sure USB debugging is ON
6. Connect your phone to the PC
7. Open the command window and navigate to the Android-sdk/tools folder on your computer.
8. At the prompt enter the following, one line at a time followed by enter
Code:
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
exit
exit
adb push flash_image /system/bin
adb push recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img /sdcard
adb shell
chmod 0755 /system/bin/flash_image
reboot
9. Your phone will reboot. When it is finished, back at your command window, once again enter
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery-RA-heroc-v1.5.2.img
reboot recovery
10. With any luck, you'll have the recovery image back and can load custom 2.1 based ROMS again.
Hope this helps. All credit goes to gbhil at Android Central.
You might want to change the title of the post. People might get confused thinking you found a way to downgrade the hboot and not how to flash the recovery image.
Can't get it to work.
I ran the RUU earlier.
Tried to root the old way.......didn't work.
Just tried this to get the recovery image back.
At the SU command it says: permission denied
Thanks,
Bubba.

This won't work for the leak that was put out today. You lost root. This process requires root.

If you used the new RUU that was leaked today you're screwed. The older 2.1 leaks were test ROMs that were already rooted so you could use the instructions above to flash the RECOVERY. Notice recovery in bold, not bootloader. Once hboot is updated there is no known way to downgrade so you could use an older RUU file.
This rom has no root. There is NO WAY to re-root after flashing the newest RUU. I'm sorry to say... you're ****ed.

To clear that up, if you run the RUU you have no root. If you extract the ROM, set it up, and flash it, you will preserve root, just like damageless made for all of us. But, yeah, you are not gonna be able to get back from this one. at least until someone figures it out.
I changed the thread title to hopefully alleviate some confusion. I didn't realize there was a newer RUU released.
I flashed the Damageless Rom and it's running smoothly so far, but I'm still trying to figure out why wifi tethering isn't working out for me. :-(

Did you get wifi tether version 1_60? That's the only version that ever worked for me.
Yeah, I have 1.60 installed on my phone right now, but when I try to start tethering, a SU Request black screen comes up and nothing happens until I get an error, "Activity SU Request (in application Superuser Permissions) is not responding."
I'm sure there's an answer somewhere, but lately I haven't been having luck searching for it.
Edit:
Thank you 98classic! All I had to do was enable USB Debugging. (I had it turned off cause I didn't like the warning up top when my phone was plugged into the computer)
"flash_image not found" what the f**k
need the binary? physically check its there with a root explorer
Sent from my broken Typewriter!!!
or do this download and set up the android SDK it itself includes the flash_image binary. after that u will need to open a command prompt on your computer u will have to change directory to platform tools
cd /path/to/platform-tools
after that u will get the chance to do
flash_image recovery /path/to/recovery.img
that will flash the recovery
now reboot into recovery
Typed from my broken Typewriter!!!

Here's my backup
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5ALHYN80
You must be rooted (I assume z4root or universal android root works)
then either using terminal (grab terminal app from market) or using adb.
Grab the recovery.img and drop it into sdcard via usb or adb push.
Open terminal and type su and then flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
or if using adb, its adb shell and then su and then flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Note: I am not the best at writing noobie guides but hopefully it helps
Thanks for this. I do not have mine yet( lol, just ordered it) but I donated for your work!
Thanks!
Anyone have a idea on how to get back into recovery? I have it installed but have tried holding every button to get me back and nothing kinda sucks since I have been testing new mods for this and cant get to my backup because the first shot at the mod was a fail.
I was able to get clockwork installed thanks to you. Do you know of any images that are out for the 7015?

Aside from stock(rooted) dump, there is nothing, I'll work with havic to get a rooted dump with google apps(market mostly) working correctly.
Besides that there is nothing else from my end for now. I personally don't like telechip tablets, bad experience from a gentouch :X
Also telechip company are retards and don't release kernel source, it'd help developers optimize a 2.1 rom and also be able to port kernel to a newer one for 2.2
I can see that this model gained popularity this black Friday. We are just now starting to see android tablets hit " Joe User ". I think that the telechip tabs will become popular so long as the price is on point. Thanks for all you do.
what exactly is this recovery for?
does installing this offer me additional features, or is it merely what we would restore to in case of disaster?

For now it is a good way to backup your unit so that if you screw it up you can go back. In the future people will make images for it. Hopefully someday android 2.2
Which version of flash_image tool is needed to flash this recovery or is the tool stock on the tablet?
EDIT: figured it out. stock. Looking through the dump now =)

If you try and recover from the backup that is in the link you may or may not get a error.The error is md5 mismatch. So the recovery fails to install.
What needs to be done is need to have busybox installed then shell in and run the following commands.
This has to be ran from the dir. that contains the backup files.
Which will more than likely be similar to this
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-12-01.20.41.18
#busybox md5sum -c nandroid.md5
boot.img: OK
cache.img: OK
data.img: OK
recovery.img: OK
system.img: OK
# reboot recovery
reboot recovery
Once in clockwork then run a recovery.
If you have a Issue let me know I will try my best to get you some answers.

Worked for me
I got it working by doing the following.
1. Download and installed "Android Terminal Emulator" on to the device.
2. Download and installed Z4Root 1.3.0.apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
3. Run it and pressed the "Permanent Root" button. It took a bit and it auto rebooted.
4. Place the recovery.img on the root of my sd card. (Razor950's recovery.img is from post#1 on this thread.)
5. Opened "Android Terminal Emulator".
6. Entered the following.
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
7. Locked everything up for about 5 min and it went back to # prompt when it was done.
8. I powered off the device.
9. After it turned off I pressed and held the back button then pressed the power button. Kept holding it until you see clockworkMod v2.5.1.3. (If it says Android it's too late.)
I have a question myself what is sd-ext on clockwork? Also is there a way to do a selective backup? Just system with no data?
Thanks.
Thanks for your procedure, will try it when I receive my tablet.
Regarding your question about sd-ext, it's a partition of your sdcard. One will be in fat32 and the other in ext2 or ext3. Usually ext2 is used when you have app2sd or 12sd+. The purpose of this is to have more apps in install by installing them on your ext partition instead of internal memory. I use it for my HTC desire (smartphone)
Regarding your second question, I don't know anyway of doing a backup without data but pretty sure it's possible, for example, if you go in your Android do a factory reset. reboot in recovery then do your backup. Not sure if there's another way to do it
Yezir!

Can you see the recovery.img on your sd card from a file manger app like Astro? If so when your in the terminal can you cd to /sdcard? If so can you enter ls -l recovery.img? Check the size to make sure it is all there.
I have anther question myself.
At cobyusa.com/?p=prod&prod_num_id=10498&pcat_id=1013 there is a firmware update. in the update.zip in system in the build.prop file i see a line that says "ro.build.version.incremental=eng.enzo.20101125.200217". I notice that the build number on the device says "MID7015 1.6a_20101105-2". Looks like they may have changed somethings but not sure what. What would be bet best way to figure out what they changed?
I tried to run it from clockwork and i get
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "tcc8900" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "tcc8900"
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
To install this update would I just have to unroot my device? Not sure how to look what the current ro.build.product is now.
Thanks.

[Q]How to install Flash ClockworkMod Recovery on M701 (Apad)?

Hi all!
I finally managed to ROOT an aPad M701 using z4Root.apk
Now I want to make an image of my entire ROM tablet, I've heard that under the ROM manager app is a tool called "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" that has to be installed in order to make a full ROM backup.
The problem is that everytime I try to install it a screen pops out telling me to choose from the list my model of phone (I'm on an aPad tablet), since I'm not on a phone, I'm unable to continue with the process!
Any method or workaround for installing Flash ClockworkMod Recovery on Haipads/aPads M701?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Custom Recovery Image
On Team Telechips website there is a custom Clockwork recovery image toward the bottom of the page.
Use the .bat file they include in their ZIP file or push the .img file to /nand and flash. You will then be able to back up everything with the custom m701 clockwork application.
If the .bat file doesn't work for you, try opening it up as text and use the commands as a guide to push via adb.
Thanks a lot for the reply Clookeno but I dont know where to start with this, do you know any step by step guide I can use to achieve this?
Again thanks for the info.

I'm trying this and when using adb push to /nand I'm getting back "failed to copy 'recovery.m701.img' to '/nand/recovery.m701.img': Read-only file system"
I'm currently running Haipads 2.2 version and I was looking at testing out CM6 version, but can't seem to get the img file over.
And Ideas?
read only file
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
The /nand folder needs to be read-writeable....since you use z4root go into temporary root and the push the file into /nand folder

Locobox, there likely isn't a step-by-step guide for the procedure because it has a .bat file which is basically a executable file in windows that runs a set of commands in the DOS prompt for you. Basically you just double click the install_recovery.bat file and it puts the ADB commands in for you to push the recovery image to your tablet.
If you right click the .bat file and click edit you will see the following ADB commands:
adb push recovery.m701.img /nand/recovery.m701.img
adb shell sync
adb shell flash_image recovery /nand/recovery.m701.img
adb shell sync
adb shell reboot recovery
If you are familiar with ADB you can also copy the .img file to your sd card and flash it from there.
i recommend you have root access and the ADB utility.

poole699,
I have tried everything you can think of to put CM6 on the 2.2 Haipad firmware (which is really a modded 2.1) and had no luck. Either the system directories are all messed up or they locked the ability to edit it somehow. If you figure it out let me know because i have wanted to try it for a while.
I have a working team telechips 2.2 with market and correct orientation settings but it took ALOT of trial and error. If you go that route make sure you back-up your pointercal file because if you do not you will likely have to go back to an official release, save it, and try the telechips mod again...
Good luck

Hi guys, I've got a bit of a problem with my M701 tablet. I did a factory reset the other day and now the digitizer is inverted. The screen works fine but when I touch the top it senses the bottom & left = right.
This is a complete pain in the arse.
I plugged the unit into a keyboard via the usb port as a workaround until I could get into it to try to resolve the issue but I'm now stuck in a loop at the sign in to google bit. Every time I sign in it takes me back to the sign in page.
This is also a complete pain in the arse.
It doesn't have clockworkmod installed and so when I tried to install update.zip as per the above post, it comes up with 'E:Failed to verify whole-file signature' error message and aborts.
Again, a complete... you get the picture...
So, I'm slightly frustrated with it to say the least and was wondering if any of you intelligent types could either point me in a suitable direction that doesn't involve the bin. Or a window...
Many thanks in advance.

Hi all!
I finally managed to ROOT an aPad M701 using z4Root.apk
Now I want to make an image of my entire ROM tablet, I've heard that under the ROM manager app is a tool called "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" that has to be installed in order to make a full ROM backup.
The problem is that everytime I try to install it a screen pops out telling me to choose from the list my model of phone (I'm on an aPad tablet), since I'm not on a phone, I'm unable to continue with the process!
Any method or workaround for installing Flash ClockworkMod Recovery on Haipads/aPads M701?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm not sure if this of help to you, but I have a M701 2Gb (probable fake version), I've messed around with the basics on my exploring Android type thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004824
I've put recovery on both 2.1 and 2.3 roms (need different versions). Any other q's then let me know, I don't know much yet but learning the best i can.
A very useful place for info on the M701 is here:
