If I use the command prompt and enter:

cd ...\android-sdk\platform-tools
adb shell
# flash_image

I still get "flash_image: not found" it's as if it's missing the command. It's the same error if I tell it where to get the .img from

edit: this is the exact same when I do it from terminal and i have no idea what hooot is.

The image file is on the root directory of my sd card.

I'm not sure but it seems like the "flash_image" command just doesn't work. If I type "flash_image" and hit enter, it gives the same error as if I type "dead_bears".

dead_bears: not found

I don't think this has anything to do with my image file. I think something is wrong with the command.

Let me ask you this are you trying to flash this from terminal or from adb ?? If there isn't a copy of the recovery img in your adb tools folder then trying to flash it threw adb wouldn't take because the image isn't there. Since the img is on your SD card then you should flash it threw terminal if your not trying it already. If you want to flash it threw adb then place a copy of the recovery img in your adb tools folder and then run the commands from cmd terminal VIA pc/laptop. Also have you made sure that the recovery img is named correctly ?? Also will you post your setup, as in rom,kernel,baseband/radio, and hboot. Also how did you obtain root ??? Thanks

I am using the terminal and I have tried ADB as well. Both do the exact same thing. I obtained root manually but I had so many problems that don't remember where the guide that I followed is. I named the recovery image "r.img" for ease of typing.

I don't know about rom,kernel,baseband/radio, and hboot. I flashed stock to the phone after purchasing it so that I could get it activated, so these things are likely at defaults.

I still don't think that the "flash_image: not found" error has anything to do with the image file itself.

I think you should ruu back to stock and reroot again. Reason why I suggest this is because of how you gained root. If something wasn't done correctly we could be at this for hours and days trying to figure this out. But before you take that route I'll send you a pm with something I would like you to try that might work.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I decided to flash stock the other night so now I'm going to try and re-root and flash a custom ROM.

I am considering this method for re-rooting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...highlight=root

Any suggestions before I get started?

What I meant by have to be on the 2.27.651.5 RUU instead of 2.27.651.6 RUU as the flash_image is not in thr 2.27.651.6 RUU so you need to be on the 5 version of stock in order to use flash_image
